Paul Moon James

Paul Moon James (1780 - 1854), was a successful English banker, as well as a poet, and lawyer, who also served for a time as magistrate of Worcestershire and later as High Bailiff of Birmingham, England. [Charles Lamb Society, "The Charles Lamb Bulletin" (1973) p. 125.]

James was a private banker for twenty-three years before being hired to manage the Birmingham Banking Company. It was at that time that he became High Bailiff of Birmingham as well. He later became managing director of the Manchester and Salford Joint Stock Bank. One historian noted:

As a poet, James is considered to have made a minor contribution, but it was enough to merit notice:

He was a Quaker. [David Burns Windsor, "The Quaker Enterprise: Friends in Business" (1980), p. 38.] He married Olivia Lloyd, second daughter of Charles Lloyd. He died at Pendleton, Lancashire.
