Joseph Hume
(1777-1855), Doctor and politician; MP for Aberdeen Burghs, Middlesex and Montrose BurghsEarly Victorian Portraits Catalogue Entry
Sitter associated with 76 portraits
Before entering Westminster, Hume worked for the East India Company as an officer and a surgeon before returning to Scotland to continue working for the company. During debates on the Reform Bill, Hume suggested extending the franchise to the colonies. Upon the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1833 he strongly supported compensation for slave-owners. During this time Hume’s brother-in-law owned property and enslaved people in Trinidad, for which he would receive substantial compensation. This drew criticism in the press towards Hume for putting the wealth of his family above any moral arguments.
