<br />
====Biographical Note====<br />
Born at [[place of birth::Leek, Staffordshire]], son of [[family::Thomas Parker 1629-89|Thomas Parker]], an [[occupation::attorney]] there and member of a minor gentry family. After a period of being articled to his father, he was admitted at the [[organisations::Inner Temple]] in 1684 and became a [[occupation::barrister]] in 1691. He developed a successful legal practice in [[location::Derbyshire]] before moving to [[location::London]] ca.1700 where he quickly gained a reputation as an able lawyer; he became a [[occupation::sergeant-at-law]], and was knighted, in 1705. He was [[occupation::MP]] for [[location::Derby]] 1705-10 and heavily involved in Whig politics (including the trial of [[associates::Henry Sacheverell]] in 1710). In 1710 he was appointed [[occupation::Lord Chief Justice]], and in 1718 [[occupation::Lord Chancellor]]; he was created Earl of Macclesfield in 1721. In 1725 the political tide turned against him and he was impeached for financial corruption, and selling offices; although he protested his innocence, the trial did seem to establish that he had indulged in venal practices beyond the accepted conventions of the time. He then retired to his estate at [[location::Shirburn Castle]].<br />
<br />
Beyond his legal and political career, Parker was known for his wide range of interests, and intellectual pursuits; he patronised numerous scholars, and had an extensive network of contacts and correspondents among leading thinkers and scientists. He was elected a fellow of the [[organisations::Royal Society]] in 1712.<br />
<br />
====Books====<br />
Parker acquired books all his life, and developed an extensive library. It was significantly augmented by his son the 2nd Earl, [[family::George Parker|George]] (ca.1697-1764), and by the middle of the 18th century contained at least 20,000 books; its size at the time of Thomas's death has not been estimated. During both their lifetimes, significant collections were taken in from the libraries of others, including the Welsh [[occupation::mathematician]] [[associates::William Jones]] (1675-1749), who was [[occupation::tutor]] to the 2nd Earl, and Sir [[associates::Thomas Clarke]] (1703/4-64), [[occupation::Master of the Rolls]], whose early career had been supported by the 1st Earl and who left much of his estate to his grandson the 3rd Earl. Parker is known to have bought extensively at book sales during the early 18th century. He used a series of engraved armorial bookplates during the earlier part of his career, the first one dated 1704 (Franks 22737-9/*201, 22741).</div>David
