Autor

William Ralston Shedden-Ralston (1828-1889), also known as William Ralston Shedden before adopting the surname Ralston, was a well-known British scholar and translator of Russia and Russian. William Ralston Shedden-Ralston (1828-1889) was born on April 4, 1828, as the third and only son of William Patrick Ralston Shedden (1794-1880) and Frances Sophia Browne (1804-). His mother was the third daughter of Galway, Calcutta, and Sydney merchant William Browne (1762-1833). His father, who was born in New York of Scottish ancestry and educated in Scotland, built his wealth as a merchant in Calcutta, India, before settling in Palmira Square, Brighton. William Ralston Shedden-Ralston spent the majority of his childhood there. He studied under the Rev. John Hogg of Brixham, Devonshire, with three or four other boys until 1846, when he moved to Trinity College, Cambridge, to study law and graduated with a BA in 1850.
