Histórico
John Thomas Graves was born in Dublin in 1806. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and Oriel College, Oxford. He was called to the bar at the Inner Temple in 1831 and practised law for several years until his appointment as Professor of Jurisprudence at University College London in 1839; in the same year he was made a fellow of the Royal Society. He became a poor law commissioner in 1846. Alongside his legal research, Graves was an acclaimed mathematician and a collector of mathematical books, pamphlets and manuscripts. On his death, his library of some 15,000 items was bequeathed to University College London.
