Robert Henley, Second Baron Henley (1789–1841)
Bushrod Washington used Henley's A Treatise on the Law of Injunctions (1821) as a reference.
Robert Henley Eden was born to a noble family on 3 September 1789 in Dresden, Staffordshire, England. A graduate of Christ Church, Oxford, he was called to the bar in London in 1814. He thereafter served as commissioner of bankrupts (1820–26), master in chancery (1826–40), and Tory member of Parliament for Fowey, Cornwall (1826–30). Eden, who succeeded his father in the peerage in 1830, also published several works on legal history and church reform.
