Innes, Henry
Henry Innes (fl. c. 1834 - 1852) was a British author and academic who published a series of didactic books on rhetoric and elocution. Information on his life is minimal, and his exact academic posting is unclear - the title page of one book refers to him as a lecturer 'in the London literary institutions.' Innes also edited Goldsmith's Natural History, a republication of texts written by Oliver Goldsmith in the 18th century. Innes also was deeply interested in Judaism and Palestine, publishing several works on the topic, including an epistolary work consisting of letters between himself and Solomon Herschel, the Chief Rabbi of the Jewish synagogues in London.
