He was the son of Rev. Samuel Roffey Maitland and Selina Stephenson.[1] He was born at Taunton, and had a private education.[2] Maitland was admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge in 1835. There he became one of the Cambridge Apostles.[3] He also became a Fellow of the college, after having obtained high places in the Tripos, both classical and mathematical, in 1839.[1] Maitland was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn, but found little practice. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1847.[2] He was secretary to the Civil Service Commission in succession to his Cambridge friend James Spedding from 1855 until his death in 1863.[1]
