Algernon Sydney Biddle (October 11, 1847 – April 8, 1891) was an American lawyer and law professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. An endowed chair was established at the University of Pennsylvania Law School in his name.
The George Biddle and Algernon Sydney Biddle Memorial Library was established at the University of Pennsylvania Law School via a gift by George W. Biddle in his memory and in the memory of George Biddle.[5] In 1900 it had 23,000 books.[5] The law school contains a portrait of him by society portraitist Cecilia Beaux.[6]
Biddle married Frances Brown.[10] His children were Moncure (an investment banker), George (a muralist), Francis (who became both a corporate and public attorney, and was the primary US judge at the Nuremberg trials), and Sydney Geoffrey.[2][11][12] Biddle died in Philadelphia.[1]
