Abstract In the course of his long career, the solicitor Robert Baxter (1802–1889), demonstrated what W. G. Gladstone described as his ‘remarkable powers’ in a crowded career of many facets that spanned more than half a century from the 1820s to the 1880s. He exerted a notable impact upon a number of aspects of the regional economy of Yorkshire, particularly in railway and colliery development, and was active in regional politics. He also exercised an influence beyond the region, through his creation of a leading metropolitan law firm which specialised in the promotion of railway and other local Bills and acted as national agent of the Conservative Party. Beyond the world of business, he possessed an intense, if idiosyncratic, Christian faith which expressed itself both in practical ways and in a stream of publications. This article aims to describe these central and closely intertwined preoccupations of a remarkably active life that illuminate several significant aspects of business and belief in Victorian Britain.

唐卡斯特和威斯敏斯特的罗伯特·巴克斯特 (1802–1889):律师、商人、保守党和千禧一代

摘要 在他漫长的职业生涯中,律师罗伯特·巴克斯特 (1802-1889) 在从 1820 年代到 1880 年代跨越半个多世纪的拥挤的职业生涯中展示了 WG Gladstone 所说的“非凡的力量” . 他对约克郡区域经济的许多方面产生了显着影响,特别是在铁路和煤矿开发方面,并积极参与区域政治。他还创建了一家领先的都市律师事务所,专门从事铁路和其他地方法案的推广,并担任保守党的全国代理人,从而在该地区之外发挥了影响力。在商业世界之外,他拥有一种强烈的、即使是异质的基督教信仰,这种信仰以实际方式和一系列出版物表达出来。
