His Wellsian novel The Hampdenshire Wonder was a major influence on Olaf Stapledon.His other science-fiction novels include The Riddle of the Tower, about a dystopian, hive-like society.His father was a clergyman in Castor, now in Cambridgeshire near Peterborough. J. D. Beresford was affected by infantile paralysis, which left him partially disabled. He was educated at Oundle. After training to become an architect, he became a professional writer, first as a dramatist, and journalist. In early adulthood he broke away from his father's views and became a "determined but defensive" agnostic. He combined a prominent place in Edwardian literary London with time spent in the provinces, in particular Cornwall where D. H. Lawrence had an extended stay in his Porthcothan cottage. Later in life Beresford abandoned his earlier agnosticism and described himself as a Theosophist and a pacifist. Beresford was also interested in psychology, and attended several meetings organised by A.R. Orage to discuss psychological issues. Other attendees at these meetings included Havelock Ellis, Clifford Sharp, David Eder and Maurice Nicoll. Beresford also contributed to numerous publications; in addition to being a book reviewer for The Manchester Guardian, he also wrote for the New Statesman, 8] The Spectator, Westminster Gazette, and the Theosophist magazine The Aryan Path.At one point, Beresford was offered the editorship of the pacifist magazine Peace News but declined because he felt he "would be a bad editor". Beresford's interest in the spiritual and philosophical may be best illustrated by the publisher notes to his novel, On A Huge Hill: "Mr Beresford's readers have long known that that for him there are more things in heaven or earth than are dreamt of in official medical philosophy. He has used his novelist's skill to convince the sensitive reader that the age of miracles is not over, and that, in certain circumstances, the spirit may exercise what seem to us miraculous powers over the substance of the body. This he did in 'The Camberwell Miracle' and 'Peckover'; and in this absorbing novel, he returns to the theme, with the study of a man fitting himself to become a great healer."

The Hampdenshire Wonder is a 1911 science fiction novel by J.D. Beresford. It is one of the first novels to involve a wunderkind. The child in it, Victor Stott, is the son of a famous cricket player. This origin is perhaps a reference to H.G. Wells's father Joseph Wells. The novel concerns his progress from infant to almost preternaturally brilliant child. Victor Stott is subtly deformed to allow for his powerful brain. One prominent, and unpleasant, character is the local minister. As J.D. Beresford's father was a minister, and Beresford was himself partially disabled, some see autobiographical aspects to the story. However this is unproven. What is more concrete is that the story of Christian Friedrich Heinecken was an inspiration for the story. Whether the biography of that child prodigy was accurate or not, "the Lubeck prodigy" is mentioned in the work. Also, in the original version, the ideas of Henri Bergson on evolution are also significant.

Die Lebensgeschichte des Juristen und Revolution rs Jodocus Donatus Hubertus Temme ist ein leuchtendes Beispiel f r ein aufrechtes Juristenleben im 19. Jahrhundert. Dennoch sind sein Leben und Werk berwiegend der Vergessenheit anheimgefallen. Wenn man sich berhaupt noch an Jodocus Temme erinnert, steht sein politisches Wirken als Demokrat, der in der Revolution von 1848/49 f r den Grundsatz der Volkssouver nit t und den Konstitutionalismus gek mpft hat, im Vordergrund. Das neunzehnte Jahrhundert war jedoch auch das Jahrhundert der umw lzenden Reformen auf dem Gebiet des Strafverfahrensrechtes. In engem Zusammenhang mit der rechtsstaatlichen Entwicklung im Staats- und Verfassungsrecht wurden Forderungen nach einem ffentlichen und m ndlichen Strafverfahren mit Geschworenen, sowie nach der Einf hrung einer Staatsanwaltschaft laut. Diese Arbeit unternimmt den Versuch, unter Ber cksichtigung der politischen Bez ge der damaligen Zeit, Temmes Wirken auf strafprozessualem Gebiet n her zu beleuchten. Das Hauptaugenmerk ist in diesem Zusammenhang darauf gerichtet, Temmes Grundanschauungen zu den wesentlichen strafprozessualen Reformforderungen des 19. Jahrhunderts herauszuarbeiten.
