James Harris, 2nd Earl of Malmesbury
James Edward Harris, 2nd Earl of Malmesbury was a British peer, styled Viscount FitzHarris from 1800 to 1820.
Though the son of a great British statesman, James Harris, 1st Earl of Malmesbury, the young James Harris only dabbled in politics. His real interests lay in being a sportsman, and he was known for his meticulous records of what game he had killed and of the local and national British weather. He built up an extensive collection of stuffed game, which was donated to various museums.
He was Member of Parliament for Helston 1802-1804, Horsham 1804-1807, Heytesbury 1807-1812 and Wilton 1816-1820.
