E. S. P. Haynes

Edmund Sidney Pollock Haynes (26 September 1877 – 5 January 1949) was a British lawyer and writer.

The son of a London solicitor, Haynes was a King's Scholar at Eton College and a winner of a Brackenbury Scholarship at Balliol College. Haynes practised in the same offices at 9 New Square, Lincoln's Inn, where his father had practised. A prolific author, he was a well-known figure in London's literary circles from 1900 to his death in 1949.

Hilaire Belloc's The Servile State is dedicated to Haynes.
