The Reverend Dr. Ebenezer Cobham Brewer (10 May 1810 in Norwich〔The ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' has Brewer born in Russell Square, Bloomsbury, London. (Retrieved 5 January 2011.

==Education and travels==
E. Cobham Brewer was the son of Elisabeth née Kitton and John Sherren Brewer, a Norwich schoolmaster associated with the Baptist congregation of St Mary's Chapel in Norwich. His father kept a school in Calvert Street, Norwich, until 1824, when he opened a new academy in Eaton on the outskirts of Norwich. E. Cobham Brewer attended Trinity Hall, Cambridge, graduating in Law in 1836.〔The ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' notes that Brewer obtained his BA degree in Law in 1836, his LLB in 1839 and his LLD in 1844.〕 He was ordained in 1838.
On returning to Norwich to work at his father's school, he compiled his first major work, ''A Guide to the Scientific Knowledge of Things Familiar,'' first published around 1838-41. The book became immensely popular and its sales may have funded the extensive travels in Europe he made later.
