Sir Edward Herbert Bunbury, 9th Baronet (8 July 1811 – 5 March 1895), known as Edward Bunbury until 1886, was an English Barrister and a British Liberal Party politician.
In 1847 Bunbury was elected to the House of Commons for Bury St Edmunds, a seat he held until 1852. In 1886, he succeeded his elder brother in the baronetcy.
Bunbury died of pneumonia in March 1895, aged 83.[2][3] He never married and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his nephew, Charles.[3]
Workedit
Bunbury's two-volume history of ancient geography[4] published in 1879 is the first modern work in English which treats the textual sources with any sophistication.

^SS Diary entry 3 September 1850. "I certainly felt mortified on reading the articles on the Ptolemies in Dr. Smith's " Dictionary of Classical Biography." They were all written by E. H. Bunbury with the help of my " History of Egypt," and with-out any acknowledgment, though he even borrowed the volume from my brother Dan for the purpose."
