THE favourable reception which the "Registrum Regale" of Eton, 1774, has met with, would be a sufficient apology, were any necessary, for having undertaken the following compilation; in which the Editor has no pretension to any other merit than that of industry and fidelity. From an official connection' with the Royal School of Westminster, he was led to inquire into its History, and that of the Members of so illustrious a Seminary; of whom at length he gradually obtained the present list, which he has so repeatedly been called upon to transcribe for private use, that he has no doubt of its being acceptable to the public in its present form. The slight biographical notices, such as they are, he hopes will be found useful. On this head, it would have been a real pleasure to him to have enlarged; but the small portion of leisure he enjoys, and the little opportunity of access to books, must plead his excuse for brevity. Wherever he could, he has referred the reader to more ample accounts; and particularly to Wood, where most of the early Scholars elected to Christ Church are to be found. But Wood is the biographer of one University only, and as yet there is no publication similar at the other; but it is to be hoped that this work will, by holding forth its great men to view in a new light, animate that to publish Athenæ Cantabrigienses, and procure a continuation of the Oxonienses. It was the Editor's wish to have made the mention of the stations which the various gentlemen have occupied, as copious as possible; but this also, from the difficulty of obtaining accurate accounts, was a task far beyond the possibility of his performing; though the stations of them would oftentimes have promoted a pleasing inquiry to the gentlemen who have been educated at Westminster, by tracing their old school-fellows into their distant retirements, where the intrinsic honour of private conduct [¹ Joseph Welch lived nearly forty years as assistant to the Mr. Ginger of that day, and died in 1805.-Nichols's Literary Anecdotes, ix. 38.] 2 For the materials already collated for such a work, see Gough's Topography, vol. i. p. 219-221. viii ADVERTISEMENT TO THE FIRST EDITION. has often equalled the most substantial honours of professional stations in our Cathedrals, or of the first offices in the State. By way of embellishment, two views are here inserted, of the ancient and the present Dormitory. The first of them, erected upon stone arches, was originally built as a granary to the monastery of St. Peter; and is here copied from an original drawing. The history of the present building is as follows:-A legacy of 1000l. was given in 1708, for that specific purpose, by Sir Edward Hannes, Knight, physician to Queen Anne. This in 1718 was followed up by a memorial from the then Dean (Bishop Atterbury) and Chapter of Westminster, which obtained from King George I., 10007.; from King George II. (then Prince of Wales), 500l.; from a parliamentary grant, 12007.; and 500l. was afterward added by William Morice, Esq. (the Bishop's son-in-law), for liberty from the Church to dispose of his office of High-bailiff. A noble Earl presented the model, and condescended to survey the building; and on the 24th of April, 1722, being West- minster Election Tuesday, the first stone was laid, with the following inscription engraved on it: "Posuit felicibus (faxit Deus) Auspiciis RICARDUS Com. de BURLINGTON Architectus 7 Kal. Maii, 1722."¹ If this work should ever come to another edition, it is hoped that the gentlemen who now honour it with a place in their libraries, will oblige the Editor by such further notices as their researches may obtain, which shall be most respectfully considered before republishing, should the same hand undertake it. March 1, 1788. [1 See also pages 276-7.] adols W mort shem med eveil ered ADVERTISEMENT TO THE PRESENT EDITION. el ograde IN sending forth a new edition of "Welch's List of Scholars," a few words appear requisite to explain the motives of the Editor in undertaking a task which he was aware he could but slowly, and even thus very in- adequately execute. As upwards of half a century had elapsed since the appearance of Welch's book, it seemed to many persons interested in the School, that the time was come for the publication of a new edition, and Mr. Ginger (who fills the situation at the School which his father and grandfather held before him), in compliance with the general demand, set on foot a list of subscribers. Only a few notes, however, had been collected for the work, and no person seemed inclined to enter upon the task of Editor. Anxious for the accomplishment of the work, urged by many of his friends, and encouraged by several persons to whose judgment all defer- ence was due by him, the present Editor consented to undertake the task. From the first, he distinctly stated that other necessary avocations would leave him a comparatively small portion of time to devote to the work, and that, consequently, he could not bind himself to any particular time for its completion. Various circumstances have combined to make such a caution more necessary than even he at that time anticipated. His own profession made during several years an increasing demand upon his time; indisposition at more than one period forced him to avoid any additional labours to those of his daily calling; but chiefly, he found the task much more onerous and engrossing than he had expected. He can only say, that to none has the delay been more irksome than to himself; he trusts, indeed, that to the work itself it may not have been without some advantage. For as the value of such a work must mainly depend upon its accuracy, so nothing but a constant reference to books usually found only in public libraries, and a careful comparison of one work with another, can ensure accuracy, where ancient dates and ancient names are concerned, and where the connection of persons (who lived, perhaps, three centuries ago) is to be established with certain facts. to foods A glance at the pages may give some notion of the labour which has been performed; for, to almost every one of the numerous names which b X ADVERTISEMENT TO THE PRESENT EDITION. they contain has some note been affixed, either entirely new, or else in extension of the scanty remarks in the former edition. It will be observed, that several deviations have been made from Welch's original plan:- First. The size was altered from quarto to octavo, in consequence of a suggestion kindly made to a friend of the Editor, by the Dean of Christ Church; and it is conceived that the advantage of the change is manifest, and will be generally admitted. Secondly. The notes have been made more copious, with the view of rendering the work more entertaining to a general reader than was formerly the mere catalogue of names which the old edition presented. Welch's notes were chiefly taken from Wood's "Athena" and "Fasti Ox- onienses." There were also a few from the "Biographia Britannica," and some from Widmore's "History of the Church of St. Peter, Westminster," published in 1751. It will be seen that many notes from Wood have been enlarged, and many fresh ones added, Dr. Bliss's edition being the one quoted. Many other works have been made use of, especially Cole's "MS. Athenæ," and his elaborate accounts and lists of the several col- leges at Cambridge, as a corresponding authority to Wood for Oxford. Another work has been, at the suggestion of the Rev. R. B. Bourne, the clue to much information, -Watt's "Bibliotheca Britannica;" but the Editor has always added to the notices themselves a list of the authori- ties from whom the several facts recorded have been gathered. These references are put together, to avoid the inconvenience of placing the reference after each separate fact related. The Editor cannot, of course, consider himself responsible for the accuracy of all the circumstances he has mentioned, but, in many instances, only for having found such facts related by certain authorities whom he quotes. He is not conscious, however, of having inserted any particulars on insufficient testimony, with- out having expressed some doubt of what he has copied. Mistakes will, he doubts not, be not unfrequently found amongst so many names; but he trusts, and this especially in cases of modern times, that nothing can have been said which can give just offence to any one. To avoid this has been his anxious endeavour, and he can only express his regret should he unwittingly have done so. From all Old-Westminsters he claims indulgence for the imperfect execution of the work. He has deemed it useful to mention, wherever the fact could be easily ascertained, the pa- rentage, connections, birth-place, and place of sepulture of the Scholars noticed, as well as any incidents particularly bearing upon their career at the School or at the University, partly because these incidents were often very instrumental in enabling him to reconcile dates and identify persons, and partly because it seemed desirable to produce any evidence which tended ADVERTISEMENT TO THE PRESENT EDITION. xi to show the variety of classes whence the Scholars were taken, and that the education of the School had been turned to a good employment in after- life; and for this reason he has endeavoured to record any publications, or literary attainments, by which the Scholars may have been distinguished. Thirdly.-Being desirous of showing how much at all times Old-West- minsters have clung with affection to the place of their education, and in how many cases families have been educated at the School for several generations, he has included as much as possible the names of such old Westminsters as were not educated on the foundation; inserting their names in small capitals, and adding, when the occasion and space have per- mitted it, brief notices of them; by so doing he has furthered the object he aimed at, of making the work more general. To this end, also, he has added an Appendix, containing lists which include the names of many distin- guished persons educated at the School at several periods of its history. Having alluded to the drawbacks to which the work has been subject by his undertaking it, the Editor thinks it just that he should state the advan- tages which it may be fairly supposed to have derived from the same circum- stance. These are the long standing and extensive connection of his own family with the School, which not only gave him a greater degree of interest in the work than might have been felt by another, but also afforded him an opportunity, which might not have been enjoyed by one not similarly situated, of ascertaining many facts; and, in the second place, the kind as- sistance he has received from a great many friends whom he has had occasion to trouble on this subject. To none of these is the work so much in- debted as to the Old-Westminster to whom it has been dedicated. Not only does it owe to his retentive memory and vast experience numerous anecdotes and facts connected with his own time, and even extending beyond those of his father; but to his ever-ready, judicious, and patient consideration and assistance must be ascribed the chief merit, beyond mere compiler's labour, which this publication may possess in the eyes of those who consult its pages. The services of other persons will be acknowledged in various places throughout the work; but the Editor cannot forbear to mention again the names of the late Dean of Wells, of the late E. B. Impey, Esq., and of the Rev. R. B. Bourne, as having encouraged him by counsel and advice; and those of T. N. Waterfield, Esq., of the Rev. T. W. Weare, and of M. C. Mert- tins Swabey, Esq., D.C.L., for their constant and valuable aid. To Richard Richards, Esq., M.P., Maurice Swabey, Esq., the Rev. T. Randolph, the late Rev. Spencer Madan, the Rev. C. W. Page, C. E. Ellison, Esq., the Rev. C. Smith, and above all, to the Bishop of St. Asaph, the Editor's thanks are due for the loan of their copies of the former edition:-as they are also to the Rev. Dr. Williamson and the Rev. H. G. Liddell, the one for lending, the other for continuing the loan of two MS. books belonging to the Head b 2 xii PREFACE TO THE PRESENT EDITION.N Master, one being an account book of Dr. Busby, the other the "Buttery Book." The date of this last MS. is uncertain, for, although some regula- tions for the conduct of the King's Scholars in Hall, dated May 20, 1718, are signed by all the Deans from Atterbury to Thomas inclusive, yet the entries of some of the elections are clearly of a much earlier date. The Editor begs also to acknowledge his obligations to Mrs. Nares for the loan of Archdeacon Nares' book, and for her kind efforts to supply a perfect copy of the verses on Lord Mansfield, given in No. VIII. of the Appendix ;—to B. Wyatt, Esq., for suggestions on the same subject;-to the Rev. Dr. Bliss, the Registrar at Oxford, for giving his kind attention to more than one reference on the subject; to the Rev. Joseph Romilly, for assisting him to search the registers at Cambridge, some years since; and to G. G. Vincent, Esq., Chapter clerk at Westminster, for allowing him access on one occasion to the "Parentelas" in his custody.noorin a In some of the Admission lists, when the Christian names are long and not again repeated in the Elections, a smaller type has been used. The parts inserted between brackets [] distinguish the additions of the present Editor. bon gud A few words as to the foundation of the School seem required in this place, by way of PREFACE. The Abbey of Westminster always possessed a school of considerable re- pute, as part of its establishment. Widmore tells us (p. 130) that, "it appears by 'Ingulphus's History of Crowland' that there was a school in this place in the time of Edward the Confessor, for he mentions his going to school there himself at that time; and that he was sometimes examined, and had money given him by the Queen, when in his return from school he called at the King's palace, where his father had a place :"-and "from the latter part of the reign of King Edw. III.," the same author continues, "down to the dissolution of the Abbey, a salary was paid to a school-master," styled "Magister Scholarium pro eruditione pue- rorum grammaticorum," who was "distinguished from the person who taught the children of the choir to sing." On the surrender of the monastery to King Henry the Eighth, that monarch included the school in his draft of the new establishment for the See of Westminster, and "Settled it as it now is.. * * * Queen Elizabeth, the last foundress," (the words are again from Widmore,) "did only continue her father's appointment: that princess made indeed a statute ordering the manner in which scholars were to be elected upon the foundation in this school, and from thence to a College in each of the two Universities, as likewise the number so to be removed every year; against this part of the order, both In the archives of the Chapter. PREFACE TO THE PRESENT EDITION. XIII the Deans of Christ Church and the Masters of Trinity College struggled for a long while, but without good reason; some supposed advantage to such places by another scheme being not to be set against the express directions of the founders, they were at length obliged to acquiesce."-(P. 131-2.) One of these struggles is noticed at page 52. Wo emas But as this right of Election to Studentships at Christ Church and Scholarships at Trinity is the material feature in the present foundation of Westminster, Queen Elizabeth is rightly considered to claim the most prominent place amongst the founders of the School. In a note by Mr. Wm. Ross, it is stated that the statutes notice a founda- tion for forty King's Scholars and eighty Pensionarii, from which the King's Scholars were to be chosen, not more than two from each county being taken in one year. These Pensionarii (who are distinguished from the Oppidani) were to be received by the Dean, the Prebendaries, and the two Masters, and were to pay for their board, &c. It is not known when this practice fell into desuetude, but there have been for a long time one or more Oppidans, or, to use the modern phrase, Home Boarders, in every election. An entire copy of the statutes has not fallen in the way of the Editor; but it is believed that their more important injunctions were incorporated in the document quoted below, although no mention is there made of these Pensionarii. The two following disqualifications-which certainly have not at all times been attended to-are mentioned in "Carlisle's Endowed Grammar Schools":- "Neminem in Collegium nostrum qui in dictâ Scholâ nostrâ annum integrum ante tempus Electionis non fuerit. Præterea nullus hæres, qui jam sit, aut qui futurus sit mortuo patre hæres, cujus hæreditas summam decem librarum excesserit, in hunc nume- rum cooptetur." On the 11th of June, in the third year of her reign, Queen Elizabeth issued Letters Patent to the Master and Fellows of Trinity College, Cam- bridge, expressing a wish that, in remembrance of her father's bountiful endowment of their establishment, they should select as many youths from Westminster as possible (potissimum sumerent), and referring them to the statutes she had drawn up for Westminster for directions as to the mode of election. On the 7th of February, in the eighteenth year of her reign (at the instiga- tion of Dean Goodman, see also page 8), the Queen issued other Letters Patent, addressed to all the electors, recapitulating, strengthening, and ex- plaining her former injunctions. She first describes the qualifications neces- sary for admittance on the foundation in these terms:- "Cum Discipuli sint numero quadraginta, volumus ut in his eligendis precipuè ratio habeatur docilis Ingenii, bonæ Indolis, Doctrinæ, Virtutis et Inopiæ, et quo magis quis- que ex eligendorum numero hiis rebus antecellat, eo magis, uti æquum est, pferatur, et xiv PREFACE TO THE PRESENT EDITION. Collegiorum Chorist: Firmariorumque Filii, si modo cæteris respondeant, semper aliis ferantur." She fixes the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, after the feast of St. Peter and St. Paul', for the days of examination and election,—names as Electors the Deans of Westminster and Christ Church, and the Master of Trinity (or deputies duly appointed by them) who are each of them to select a Master of Arts from his own college as his coadjutor, to whom, also, the Head Master is to be added. They are directed to make oath in these words:- "Deinde septem hii Electores jusjurandum dent se neminem in Discipulum gratiâ odio, ullâve animi perturbatione vel præmio advectos, sed eum solum quem, testimonio conscientiæ promoti, maxime idoneum judicaverint electuros." She orders that no boy be admitted into St. Peter's College before his eighth, nor allowed to remain after his eighteenth year; she directs the mode of examination and election (specifying open voting), and the writing of Parentelas. As to the number, she says- "Quamvis cupimus è nostris discipulis Westmonasteriensibus ad academias in dictâ collegiâ quotannis p'moveri tamen, ne incertus sit omnino numerus, sex ad minimum, videlicet, tres in Ecclesiam Christi Oxon., et tres in Collegium S. Trinitatis, singulis annis, si aut tot loca vacua in dictis collegiis Academiis, aut tot idonei è nostris discipulis Westmonasteriensibus reperti fuerint, admitti volumus; plures autem optamus, si ita præfatis Electoribus commodum videbitur." These two edicts of Elizabeth are taken from the Letters Patent³ of the 27th of June, of the fifth of James the First, in which they are recapitu- lated and strongly confirmed, apparently with a view to suppress the opposi- tion still made by Trinity College to the election of Westminster men. King James's letters, moreover, enjoin the admission of some of the Westminster Scholars to Fellowships, alleging the neglect of this latter rule or the delay in electing them until the Westminsters had graduated M.A., as the reason why the same success had not attended the Westminsters as at Oxford, where it is said- "Adeò felices in studio Literarum et Pietatis progressus fecerint ut *** haud pauci ad varias dignitates Ecclesiasticas, nimirum Doctorat: in singulis Facultatibus, Decana- tus etiam, et Episcopatus pervenerint, quod in eisdem discipulis nostris ad Collegium Sanctæ et Individ. Trinitatis in Acad. Cantabrig. promotis itidem adhuc non contigit.' "" 1 Dean Goodman consented to the day being changed, as it was the day of the Cam- bridge commencement. 2 This, it is feared, shows that the title which was prefixed to the List of Deans, &c., is not strictly, although it is practically, correct, for the seven are, as is stated in the text, all Electors. 3 The copy to which the Editor has had access was transcribed from a certified copy taken for the late W. White, Esq. from the original record in the Rolls Chapel, and the original enrolment there has also been consulted. PREFACE TO THE PRESENT EDITION. XV The Letters-Patent conclude with the following stringent injunction, which has been habitually disregarded during many years, although even of Dr. Bentley, Bishop Newton says (vol. i. of his works, 4to edit., p. 18), There are instances of his choosing out of three or four Westminster Scholars, two or three Fellows; and he seldom or never set aside the Senior Westminster, unless he had been guilty of some great misdemeanour." CC "Nos igitur gratiosè cupientes huic malo occurrere et congruum in eâ parte adhibere remedium, ex gratiâ nostrâ speciali **** per presentes volumus et con- cedimus ut dicti discipuli alumni nostri è scholâ nostrâ Westm. oriund^. et in dictum Collegium nostrum Sanctæ et Individuæ Trinitatis juxtà formam pr dictam elect: et fact: scholares ejusdem Collegii nostri postquam ad gradum Baccalauriatus in Artibus venerint cæteris omnibus sui ordinis et Gradus de tempore in tempus ppetuis fatur temporibus quotiescumq: se occasio obtulerit in quâvis Electione Sodalium ejusdem Collegii nisi justa et legitima Exceptio Morum Improbitatis aut defectus Eruditionis impediat, pferentur et anteponentur ejusdemq: exceptionis judicium volumus esse penes Magistrum et majorem partem Seniorum aut Magistro absente penes Vice- magistrum et majorem partem Seniorum tunc in Electione ibidem p'sentium; quod si contingat dictos discipulos nostros olim Westm. aut eorum aliquem dum Bacca- laureus in Artibus fuerit in numerum Sodalium dicti Collegii non eligi et cooptari ante susceptum Gradum Magisterii in Artibus tum volumus ut ii et eorum quisq: maneant sint et habeantur maneat sit et habeatur eligibiles vel eligibilis in Soda- litium in dicto Collegio per biennium completum post dictum Gradum Magisterii in Artibus susceptum, ac pferantur et pferatur in omni electione cæteris omnibus sui ordinis et Gradus nisi interveniente legitimâ exceptione sic ut pferatur opposit: et approbat: Et inviolabiliter fiat mandantes omnibus quorum hoc interest aut interesse debeat vel poterit pcipuè Decano et Canonicis dis Christi Oxoniensis et Magistro dicti Collegii nostri Sanctæ et Individuæ Trinitatis Cantabrigia Vice Magistro Seni- oribus et Sociis ejusdem Collegii eorumq: successorum omnibus et singulis ut appro- bationem Ratification: Confirmation: Voluntatem et Concessionem hanc nostram omniaq: et singula in psentibus content: inviolat: conservent pficiant et exequant'. aliquo Statuto constitution: ordinatio: pvisione aut consuetudine sive Edis Christi sive dicti Collegii nostri Sanctæ et Individuæ Trinitatis in contrarium in aliquo vel aliquibus non obstant: Et hoc omnibus quorum interest aut interesse debeat aut poterit Innotescimus per psentes." The general spirit of the regulations for the mode of election made by our Royal Benefactress is preserved at this day; for the present mode of ad- mission on the foundation is by a competition which demands the exercise of considerable industry, and in many cases of considerable talent, in such of the candidates as attain the highest places. The term of residence for the Scholars, after their admission, is four, and in some instances five, years, at which period they are again subjected to an examination before they are elected off (as the phrase is) to Oxford or Cambridge. The days of election. have been changed to the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in Rogation week. On the Tuesday a dinner is given to the Electors, and all persons connected with the School, by the Dean and Chapter, and any Old West- xvi PREFACE TO THE PRESENT EDITION. minster of sufficient rank or standing is entitled to attend it. After the dinner Epigrams are spoken by a large proportion of the King's Scholars. It is now time to conclude this Preface, and to dismiss this work to the judgment of such as feel a sufficient interest in Westminster School to dip into its pages. The Editor cannot do so without again requesting a merciful judgment from Old-Westminsters, on the labours which he has performed: labours, which, indeed, will be well repaid, if (inadequately as he is sensible that the task has been accomplished) he shall have succeeded in showing that the School has sent forth her proportion, and sometimes more than her pro- portion, of eminent persons; and that her institutions, if properly under- stood and acted upon, are still calculated to produce the great object of such foundations, the training up of persons duly qualified to serve God and their Country both in Church and State. More especially will his work have been successful, if, by displaying the advantages which have been derived in former times from the right use of an education on this foundation, he shall have is foundation, he shall have raised in the Queen's Scholars of this, or of any future day, the laudable ambition of emulating the conduct of such of their predecessors whose ex- amples,-whether as theologians, scholars, mathematicians, poets, warriors, or statesmen,—have been worthy of imitation, and of being privileged to confer similar benefits in their generation upon their country. The hope of such a result has been the Editor's great encouragement, and his chief aim, through- out the work; and he will only add, in conclusion, the words which the German dramatist puts into the mouth of a famous poet:-body "Was ich gewollt ist löblich, wenn das Ziel Auch meinen Kräften unerreichbar blieb, Un Fleiß und Mühe hat es nicht gefehlt."* to JUNE, 1852.

January 29, 1513; was elected presi- dent of Magdalen about the 17th of December, 1516; resigned that charge Nov. 6, 1525, and was appointed dean of CARDINAL COLLEGE. On the dis- grace of Cardinal Wolsey, in October, 1529, his col- lege lapsed to the King, and was kept by him until 1532, when he founded it again upon the same site, though on a less princely scale, by the name of "KING HENRY THE EIGHTH, HIS COLLEGE.” Dr. Hygden was nominated the first dean of this foundation also, but he did not long survive. the change: He was buried in the chapel of Mag- dalen College, where he had founded a perpe- tual exhibition for eight students; a fact recorded on his monument, which also states him to have died January 13, 1532-3. His name frequently appears in the Oxford annals as one of Cardinal Wolsey's commissioners for the suppression of heretical opinions in the University.

OLYVER, dean of King Henry the Eighth's first Foundation, called King's College; master in Chancery, 1547; died, 1552. [A civil lawyer of very great eminence; D.C.L. of Oxford, June 23, 1522, and admitted one of the college of advo- cates at Doctors' Commons, November 11, in the same year: In 1527, he is found to have resigned the rectory of St. Mary Mountlow, London, and, in 1529, was made vicar of Minster, in the Isle of Thanet, by the abbot and convent of St. Augustine, at Canterbury. In 1530, he was, says Wood, "an active man, and one of the commissioners for the depriving of Heth (Heath), Bishop of Worcester, and Day, Bishop of Chichester." He was employed on various other commissions of importance; in 1540, he was, with some other lawyers, consulted by the Convocation which decided against the va- lidity of Henry the Eighth's marriage with Anne of Cleves. He was one of the two lawyers at- tached to Lord Northampton's embassy to France in 1551, when that nobleman carried over the Garter to the French King, and proposed a marriage between Edward the Sixth and the Princess Eliza- beth, eldest daughter of that monarch. Strype gives the warrant for his pay of four marks a day during this employment. In this year too he was employed in the commission which deprived Bishop Gardiner of the See of Winchester. succeeded Dr. Hygden as dean of Christ Church in February, 1532-3; and Wood asserts that he also succeeded him as prebendary of York, but, according to Willis, this is not correct. He did, however, hold a prebendal stall in the cathedral of Salisbury. He The foundation at Christ Church was again changed by Henry VIII., in 1545, when the dean and canons gave up all their lands, revenues, &c., to the King, and obtained instead a yearly pension.

BENSON, the last abbot of Westminster, and first dean; died, 1549. [Called also Abbot Bos- ton, from the place of his birth, but when he became dean he assumed his family name: he had been abbot of Burton on Trent, and became abbot of Westminster, 1533, and was the first stranger who had succeeded to that Office since 1222. His selec- tion for it was probably owing to bribes given to offi- cers of the king's household; and other traits are related of his character which show that he was not over scrupulous in such matters. During his presidency there were two important exchanges of land between the king and the convent, by which the latter, besides parting with the advowson of Chelsea rectory, and some meadows near the Horseferry, alienated Covent Garden: On the 16th of January, 1539-40, the monastery itself was given up to the king by the abbot and twenty- four monks. Benson died in September, 1549, and was interred in the Abbey, near the Vestry.] -Vide Widmore's Westminster Abbey, 126-33. 2 A. NOWELL (see Redman), prebendary of Westminster 1551 and 1560; dean of St. Paul's, 1561; canon of Windsor, 1594; principal of Brase- nose College, 1595; died, 1601. [Dean Nowell was. a Lancashire person, sent to school at Middleton, in that county, and thence removed to Brasenose Col- lege, Oxford, as it is said, at the age of 13; took the degrees of B.A. in 1536, and of M.A. 1540. He was chosen fellow of his college, and "grew very famous for religion and learning." In 1553, he was honoured in a remarkable manner by being returned to Parliament for St. Looe, Cornwall, but was not allowed to sit, as being represented as a prebendary of Westminster in the Convocation. In 1554 he was deprived of his stall at West- minster, and narrowly escaped with his life; for, as Fuller says, "whilst Nowel was catching of Fishes, Bonner was catching of Nowel;" a timely warning was given him while engaged in that amusement, and he fled to Germany. On his return, after the accession of Elizabeth, he was made archdeacon of Middlesex, 1560, and, in that year, again appointed to a prebendal stall at West- minster, which he held till 1564. He was also rector of Saltwood, Kent, 1560, and of Much Hadham, Herts, from 1562 to 1589. nominated likewise to a stall at Canterbury, and held another at St. Paul's, from 1559 until 1588. Dean Nowell was prolocutor of the celebrated convocation for settling the ritual and doctrine of the Church of England in 1562. In 1589, the Queen gave him the next present- ation to a canonry in Windsor, but it did not fall vacant until 1594. On the 1st of October, 1595, he was actually created D.D., at Oxford; he resigned 1540. John Adams. 1543. Alexan. Nowell2. 1540. Odnell Hayborne. the headship of Brasenose, December 4, 1595, hav- ing only held it since the 6th of September. After he was settled in the deanery of St. Paul's, he became a frequent and "painful preacher," and "for thirty years he preached the first and last sermons in the time of Lent before the Queen, wherein he dealt plainly and faithfully with her, without dislike," except, indeed, on one occasion, when she called aloud to him "to retire from that ungodly digression, and to return to his text." He died on the 13th of February, 1601-2, and was buried in St. Paul's, where, "a comely monu- ment" was erected to his memory. Strype gives the following account of Nowell's method of education:- "When he was master of Westminster School, he brought in the reading of Terence, for the better learning the pure Roman style. As it was said of Dr. Barnes, that he brought in that author and Tully into his college of Augustin's at Cambridge, instead of barbarous Duns and Dorbel; and one day every week Terence gave way to St. Luke's Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles; which he read in Greek to such of his scholars as were almost at man's estate; whereof he had a good number. Whereby he prepared himself in some way for the teaching of God's people in his church whereunto he had directed his intent since he was sixteen years old." Thus it is to this eminent divine that West- minster owes that instructive and classical re- creation, so peculiar to herself, the annual repre- sentation of one of Terence's Plays-a custom which Queen Elizabeth rendered obligatory by an express statute,-" quo juventus tum actioni tum pronunciationi decenti melius se assues- cat," as the queen herself expressed it, when she enforced its observance every Christmas, by a penalty on those who should cause its neglect. The strong feeling of the great body of Old Westminsters in favour of this ancient custom, when a proposal was made for abolishing it, was embodied in a petition to the Dean, presented by the Marquis of Lansdowne, in 1847, and the ready concurrence of all the authorities connected with the school in the prayer of that petition lead to the sanguine expectation that there will not again be any attempt to interfere with an institu- tion established under such pious and learned au- spices, interwoven, as it were, with the very foun- dation of the school, and which has had its share in contributing to the credit and character it has so long enjoyed. Dean Nowell was the author of several learned theological works. His Catechism was one of the books which the Convocation ordered to be studied in the university, to "preserve the scholars from the heresy of Romanism." He left a bene- 3 Deans of Westminster.

[A native of Buckinghamshire, of low ex- traction; educated at Eton, whence he was elected a Fellow of King's College, Cambridge, in 1519, and took the degree of B.A. In 1525, he went to Oxford, and was appointed a Junior Canon of Cardinal Wolsey's college, and, in the same year, incorporated in the degree of B.A., at which time, we are told, he was esteemed an excellent scholar; he was licensed to proceed M.A., Feb. 8, 1525, and did do so in an act celebrated July 1526. About this time, he was known to have imbibed the doctrines of the Reformation, and, for that cause, was compelled to leave Oxford. A little while after this he took refuge at Eton, where, we are told, "by his diligent instruction the boys profited much." He was incorporated at Cambridge in the degree of M.A., which he had taken at Oxford. In 1535, he proceeded B.D. at Cambridge, being then chaplain to Goodrich, Bishop of Ely. In 1537, he proceeded D.D., and, in 1543, did supplicate that he might take his place among the Doctors of Divinity at Oxford, He re- though he was not regularly incorporated in that degree until June, 1545. He was appointed archdeacon of Ely December 4, 1540, and, September 10, 1541, first prebendary of that cathedral; he held both these benefices until his de- privation in the reign of Queen Mary;-was pre- bendary of Sutton, one of the richest prebends in Lincoln Cathedral, from 1542 to 1547, in which year he alienated it to the crown; he did the same by the rectory of Harrow on the Hill, to which he was presented in 1544. In 1543, he was designated for the new Bishopric which Henry VIII. intended to create at Southwell. signed the Chancellorship of the University of Oxford, November 14, 1552, and was exempted from the duties of Vice-Chancellor. During Queen Mary's reign he suffered for his adherence to the Reformation, and was imprisoned from the 5th to the 19th of August, 1553, after which he retired to Frankfort, where he became leader of the party in favour of the English Liturgy of Edward VI. against John Knox. He returned to England on the accession of Elizabeth, and supported the Queen in her retention of the rites and ceremonies of the Church of England, and was by her nominated the principal disputant in a conference to be held with the Romish clergy. In June, 1559, he was elected Bishop of Norwich, but was translated to Ely before his consecration. He was nominated a privy councillor about the year 1547. Bishop Cox died July 22, 1581, and was in- terred in Ely Cathedral. He was a very learned man, but one of great worldliness. He surren- dered the beautiful cathedral of Osney, besides the other preferments mentioned before, to Henry VIII., and, indeed, according to Willis, he alienated, without scruple, to the crown, the richest portions of the benefices which he held; there was hardly one which was not the poorer for his occupancy: Yet, Fuller asserts that he "commendably continued in his See, whatever causeless malice hath reported to the contrary." He had a great hand in framing the first Liturgy of the Church of England, and in reviewing it in the reign of Elizabeth; but Strype says that he "liked its original form but little." He also trans- lated the Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, and the Epistle to the Romans, and was the author of many other works in print; and a list of six, which he left in MS., is given by Dr. Bliss. A stigma, which it would require many good deeds to wipe off, attaches itself to his name, as he was one of the most active of those who, in their zeal against Popery, destroyed with ruthless hands the ancient MSS. in the libraries at Oxford. He is also noted as the first person who brought a wife into Christ Church. He left by his will charitable bequests to the poor of various places. -Ath, Ox. i. 468-9 Fasti Ox. 69. 72. 119 and B 2 4 Deans of Westminster. Deans of Christ Church.

REDMAN, one of the compilers of the Liturgy, prebendary of Westminster, 1540; died, 1551, aged 52. He was esteemed the most learned and judicious divine of his time. [Of a family of that name in Yorkshire, and near of kin to Dr. Cuthbert Tunstall, Bishop of Durham, by whose counsel and advice, says Anthony à Wood, "he became conversant from his childhood in the study of learning." He began this study at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, on its first found- ation; after which he went to Paris, and studied there until he was 21 years of age. On his return to England he settled at St. John's College, Cambridge, where he was a pupil of Sir Thomas Smith's, and of which he became one of the fellows, 1531. The dates of his degrees are B.A. 1525-6, M.A. 1530, B.D. 1534, D.D. 1537; he was subse- quently appointed master of King's Hall, Michael House, Cambridge, and, upon the suppression of that house, was nominated the first master of the new foundation of Trinity College; public orator to the University, 1537; Margaret professor of divinity from about 1538 to about 1542, and again in 1549; rector of Calverton, Bucks, 1548; archdeacon of Stafford from 1540 to 1547; arch- deacon of Taunton, and prebendary of Wells, 1547. He died November 4, and was buried in Westminster Abbey, where an epitaph, in Hexameter and Pentameter Latin verse, was placed on his monument, which has, however, been long since effaced. On his death-bed, he sent for Alexander Nowell (see above), and delivered to him his last judgment on several points of religion, which confession, being chiefly a renunciation of the errors of the Romish faith, Nowell afterwards published in the shape of articles, and had it subscribed by those who had with him heard the words of Redman, delivered, it is said, "for the confirming of Noel's faith." Besides the eulogium on his learning, quoted above from Ascham's Schoolmaster, Wood says, that "by his profound knowledge in the tongues, humanity and divinity, he obtained many admirers, and thereby gained proselytes, to the great advan- tage and refinement of the Greek and Latin tongues in the University of Cambridge;" and Strype calls him "one of the solidest and best read divines in the land, to whose judgment great deference was paid by 1551.

He had not been two full years standing as B.D., when he was chosen master of St. John's College, and was appointed to that office in conse- quence of letters sent down to Cambridge in his favour by Protector Somerset; he resigned it in 1551, when he was removed to Trinity College. In 1548 he filled the office of vice-chancellor to the University. He was one of Edward the Sixth's chaplains and itinerary preachers, and received a small annuity from the King. He was one of the chaplains to whom the Articles of Religion were. referred for revision, in 1552. On the accession of Queen Elizabeth he was the first divine appointed by her to preach in public, and, in 1558, was one of the Spital preachers. He was made chief almoner to the Queen, and much employed and consulted upon matters of religion; was one of those directed to prepare a book of divine service, and, in 1559, was in a commission for visiting the University of Cambridge and College of Eton; and in another, in 1560, which settled a new calendar and Lessons. In 1559, he was made a prebendary of Lincoln, and on the 5th of July, in that year, was unanimously chosen, first, fellow, and then, provost, of Eton; and shortly after that became. the first dean on the new foundation of Queen Eli- zabeth; a solitary instance of a person presiding at the same time over three such seminaries of learn- ing as Westminster, Eton, and Trinity.

[He was at first a student of Baliol College, Oxford, but took his degrees in arts at Lincoln College; applied himself to the study of physic, but, after his elec- tion to the presidency of his college, he took the degree of B.D. May 3, 1539. In the first year of Queen Mary's reign he was made prolocutor of the Convocation of the whole clergy of Can- terbury, and is said to "have behaved himself in speaking and acting with great commendation;" was instituted rector of Cliff, Kent, 1554, upon letters from the Queen to that effect. He was also rector of St. Botolph's, Bishopsgate-street, from 1543 until his death. He unwillingly consented to the collegiate es- tablishment of Westminster being again converted into a monastery, and, upon that change, received the deanery of Windsor. Cardinal Pole suspended him from that station for immorality of life, of which, whether justly or not, he was generally accused; and, as Weston was preparing for a journey to Rome to appeal against such deprivation, he was taken prisoner, and sent to the Tower, whence he was released on bail, and died in the house of a friend in Fleet Street, in December, 1558, and was buried in the Savoy. He was a person of learning and much boldness, and was much employed by the court to preach and to attend state criminals in Queen Mary's reign. He presided as Mode- rator at Oxford in April, 1554, in the disputa- tion held there between Cranmer, Latimer, and Ridley, and the popish divines of the Romish faith, and printed an account of this controversy, as well as one or two other works.-Ath.

He is accused of having changed from Romanist to Reformer, and Reformer to Romanist, as often as suited his purpose; by his last adherence to the Reformation, on the accession of Elizabeth, he had hoped to preserve his deanery, and would have done so, but for his violent conduct on the side of Papacy during the former reign. served the office of Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the University in 1551, 1552, and of Vice- Chancellor in 1553. In 1559, refusing to ac- knowledge the authority of the Queen's visitors, he was carried up to London and imprisoned, and was also deprived of his stall at Winchester, for refusing the oath of supremacy. He subscribed strongly, Strype says, on St. Thomas's Day, 1563, and would have given a more public testimony in St. Paul's had not his death prevented it.

A. 1540, and whence he was chosen a Fellow of Pembroke, though he was afterwards elected a Fellow of St. John's, 1542; and, in 1546, removed to a Fellowship of Trinity. A very learned man, by the confession of all parties, and reckoned by Graunt to have been one of the first revivers of the Greek tongue, and a great orna- ment to the university to which he belonged. In King Edward's reign he retired to Germany, on account of his religious opinions, and was there maintained by his college. He employed his exile in translating into Latin several of the works of Philo Judæus and Eusebius, which were afterwards published. He had at an earlier date, about 1546, published the tragedy of Jeptha in Latin and Greek. Upon his return he was appointed confessor to Queen Mary; in 1554, he published an exhortation against rebellion; and, in 1557, was made one of Cardinal Pole's delegates for visiting the Uni- versity of Cambridge; proceeded D.D.

[Fakenham was originally a Benedic- tine monk of Evesham, and, Anthony à Wood says, "held in wonderful esteem for his learning, piety, charity, and other virtues." Although he was one of the ablest disputants on behalf of the Romish tenets, he always strove to protect the Reformers from violence, and did them all the good offices in his power during the reign of Queen Mary, whose displeasure he incurred by interceding for her sister Elizabeth. At eighteen years old he was sent by the Abbot of Evesham to Gloucester College, in which was a particular establishment for the young monks of Evesham : after the usual residence he was recalled to the monastery, and remained there until its dissolution in November, 1535, when he was dismissed with a pension, and took refuge again in Gloucester College; he was made chaplain to Dr. Bell, Bishop of Worcester, and afterwards to Dr. Bonner, Bishop of London; proceeded B.D. of Gloucester College, 1539. He was committed to the Tower in 1549; but was released soon after, that he might dispute with the Protestants, and, when these discussions were ended, was again sent to prison, until Queen Mary's accession. That Queen made him her chaplain, and employed him much to preach in noted places, and to carry on disputes with the Protestants. He was preben- dary of Kentish Town in St. Paul's Cathedral, January, 1554; appointed rector of Finchley, 1554; held it only a few months, and, in September of the same year, was made rector of Greenford, Middlesex actually created D.D. in his absence, 1556, and in November of that year appointed ab- bot of Westminster, and chaplain to the Queen. Abbot de Feckenham was the last mitred abbot who sat in Parliament; he sat in the House of Lords in the first Parliament of Queen Elizabeth, 1558, and opposed the Bill declaring the Queen s supremacy, and that for giving the first fruits to the Crown; Strype affirms that he had taught the 7 Deans of Westminster.

He was deprived of his abbacy, and committed to different prisons, the Tower, the Marshalsea, and finally to the Castle of Wisbeach, in Cam- bridgeshire, where he died. He published, and left in MS., which is still extant, an account of some of his conferences, two speeches in the House of Lords, and several funeral sermons and works on polemics and theo- logy. Feckenham behaved liberally to the church at Westminster, leaving it what he had, and giving the dean much advantageous information about the leases: whilst he was dean, he repaired the Shrine of Edward the Confessor, and provided a Paschal candle of 300 lbs. in weight, at the making of which the master and warden of the Wax Chandlers' Company attended; he also strongly maintained the privilege of sanctuary, and a speech of his on that point is preserved in the archives of the Bodleian. Fuller says, that he was "found setting of elms in the orchard of Westminster Abbey," and was so employed when Queen Elizabeth first sent for him, and he finished his plantation before he obeyed the summons. He has the credit also of having refused the offer of the Archbishopric of Canterbury made to him by Queen Elizabeth.-Ath. Ox. i. 506-10; Fasti Ox. i. 110. 152; Widmore's West.

GOODMAN, prebendary of Westminster, 1560 founder of an hospital [and free school] at Ruthin, Denbighshire [his native place; vested the nomination of the warden thereof, in the Dean and Chapter of Westminster], 1590: died [June 17], 1601, aged 73.-Widmore's Westminster Abbey [141-5 and 223]. [A dean remarkable as well for his learning as for his care of, and benefactions to, the school during the forty years he presided over the chapter. "Goodman was his name, and goodness was his nature," says Fuller with his usual quaintness. Dean Goodman was the son of Edward Good- man, Esq., and educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, of which he became D.D. During the reign of Queen Mary he lived obscurely, but did not go into exile. He was chaplain to Secre- tary Cecil, or tutor to his children; at all events much beloved and trusted by him. At his re- commendation he was promoted, first to a stall in this cathedral, and then to the deanery, Sept. 23, 1561; and in the following Lent was ap- pointed one of the preachers before the Queen; was a member of the Convocation of 1562, and subscribed the Thirty-nine Articles therein agreed to: he voted in that assembly against any change in the Book of Common Prayer. Dean Goodman was rector of the first portion of Waddesdon, Bucks, 1559, and of the second, 1569, and held 8 both until 1582. He was also prebendary of Chiswick, in St. Paul's Cathedral, and "procured," Widmore says, "to have this church settled the perpetual tenant of the estate of that prebend, that, in case of any pestilential or epidemical sickness, there might be a place in the neighbour- hood for some of the chapter, with the masters of the school, and the scholars of the foundation, to retire to." Fuller's account of this transaction is, that Goodman "purchased a fair house, with land thereunto, at Chiswick, in Middlesex, where with his own hands he set a fair row of elms, now grown up to great beauty and height, for a retiring place for the masters and scholars of Westminster, in the heat of summer, or any time of infection.' "If," he adds, "these lands at this day be not so profitably employed as they were by the donor piously intended, it is safer to moan the sad effect than accuse the causers thereof." 99 He endeavoured more than once to procure the royal assent to the statutes drawn up by his pre- decessor, Dr. Bill, for the management of the abbey and the college, and also to restore the . statute of Elizabeth, which enjoined the election of three scholars every year, instead of two every year and three every third year, an alteration which Archbishop Whitgift, then master of Trinity, had obtained leave to make. Whitgift's other alteration, viz., of the day of election, he wished to maintain, as it was formerly fixed for the same day as the Cambridge commencement. Re- ferring to the lists, he does not seem to have effected any improvement in this respect until 1588. The Lord Treasurer Cecil made him one of his executors, to distribute large sums in charity. One of these was a perpetual annuity of twenty marks yearly, to be distributed among the scholars elected from this foundation to the two univer- sities. He Dr. Goodman, in 1566, successfully defended the right of this church to afford sanctuary for debt, against a bill brought into Parliament for taking it away. The dean was not only heard by counsel, but himself spoke on the occasion. He was recommended by the Archbishops Parker and Whitgift for several vacant bishoprics. He trans- lated the Bible into Welsh at his own cost. was buried in St. Bennet's Chapel, Westminster Abbey, and a representation of him, on his knees, affixed to his monument, on the south wall of that chapel. Four of his name are mentioned in the early part of this work. Two of them, it will be seen, came from the dean's own country, and were doubtless his relations.

SAMPSON, dean of Chichester, 1552; re- moved from his deanery of Christ Church for Nonconformity, 1564; afterwards appointed master of Wigston's Hospital, Leicestershire; and pre- bendary of St. Paul's [1570]; died 1589. [Was educated at Oxford, and afterwards a student of law in one of the Temples, and, during his re- sidence in the latter society, was converted from the Romish Church, and became a strong Puritan. He was, however, ordained by Bishop Ridley, in 1550, being well known to, and esteemed by, that prelate and by Archbishop Cranmer. Even at his ordination he excepted against the habits of ceremonies prescribed by the Church of England. From 1551, until his nomination to the deanery of Chichester, he was rector of All Hallows, Bread-street, in London, and acquired much fame as a preacher. At the accession of Queen Mary he was obliged to fly with his wife, who was a niece of Bishop Latimer, to foreign parts, re- sided at Strasburg, and was one of those divines who undertook the translation of the Bible into English; but, Queen Mary dying before the greater part was finished, they abandoned their task, and returned to England. In 1560, he is said to have declined an offer of the bishopric of Norwich. During the first three years of Queen Elizabeth's reign he preached frequently, and with reputation, in London and some of the northern counties, having been nominated to ac- company the Queen's visitors to those districts as preacher. He was appointed to Christ Church at the request of that society, conveyed to the Queen through Lord Robert Dudley. Although it is not clearly shown that he ever took a degree at Oxford, yet, in 1561, after his appointment to the deanery of Christ Church, he obtained leave to preach within the limits of the University in a doctoral habit for one year. At that time he and his friend, Dr. Humphrey, the president of Mag- dalen, who held the same puritanical notions as himself, were almost the only preachers in Oxford. In consequence of this gift of preaching, as well as for his general piety and learning, he was much entreated by many of the bishops, and by Lord Burleigh, to conform; and it was only upon his pertinacious refusal to do so, and after many ad- monitions, that he was deprived in 1564. By the Queen's permission he was appointed Theological Lecturer of Whittington's College, London, and continued to give lectures for nearly six years, when his health was much affected by a stroke of palsy, and he retired to the hospital at Leicester, to which he had been appointed in 1567, and which, together with his stall at St. Paul's, he was allowed to retain until his death, which oc- curred April 9, 1589, at the age of 72; he was buried in the chapel of Wigston's Hospital, and a monument there erected to him, setting forth his hostility to the Church of Rome. He was con- tinually urging upon Lord Burleigh the reforma- tion of the English Church. With more praise- worthy perseverance he obtained from that states- man a reward for the merchant, Mr. Heton (the father of Bishop Heton, see election, 1571), to whose kindness he, and so many other English divines, were indebted for assistance during the troubles of the last reign. He was the author of several theological tracts, and several of his letters are given in Strype.-Ath.

He was a benefactor to Trinity College; although his rule there seems to have occasioned an appeal to the visitor. Among the MSS. in Corpus Christi College is a letter of his, desiring a dispensation to eat flesh in Lent. He is described by Dr. Baker, List of the Margaret Professors in the preface to Bishop Fisher's funeral sermon on the Countess of Richmond,-as "a learned, good man, but deeply tinctured," probably with the doctrines of the Romish Church. In Peck's Desiderata Curiosa, book xviii. sect. xvii., mention is made of his reception of Queen Elizabeth at Trinity Gate, when she visited the University of Cambridge, in 1564,-he "stood at the East Gate, and caused an oration in Greek to be made to Her Highness." -Cole's Athenæ, B. 186, MSS. xli. 161, xlv. 225; Preface to Bishop Fisher's Sermon, lxvi.; Dr. Bentley's Letter to Bishop of Ely, 53; Le Neve's Fasti, 394; Willis's Cath.

GODWIN, dean of Canterbury, 1567; Bishop of Bath and Wells, 1584; died 1590, aged 73. [Began his education in the school of his native town of Oakingham, Berks; was sent to Oxford, 1538; B.A. of Magdalen College, 1543; chosen fellow of that college, 1544; M.A. 1547. Being molested in the college for his inclination to the doctrines of the Reformation, he vacated his fellowship, on being presented by that society to the charge of the school at Brackley, Northampton- shire. During the reign of Queen Mary, he was silenced, and forced to study physic to maintain himself and his family, to which end he took the degree of B.M. 1555. On the accession of Elizabeth, he was ordained and made chaplain to Bishop Bullyngham, by whom he was appointed to preach several times before the queen, who, in June, 1565, conferred on him the deanery of Christ Church, which he resigned on his promo- tion to Canterbury. He accumulated the degrees of B. and D.D., 1565. In 1565, he was nomi- nated a prebendary of Lincoln, a benefice which he gave up in 1583; on his promotion to the see of Wells, he gave up the deanery of Canterbury, having, in 1570, repaired the buildings of that preferment. He was at one time in great favour with Queen Elizabeth, and, for eighteen years, had always preached before her in Lent; but he fell into disgrace at the suggestion of Sir Walter Raleigh (who was anxious to obtain long leases of the episcopal lands), on account of a second mar riage which he had made. He is represented as mild, learned, charitable and judicious; and therefore Wood adds, it is "not to be doubted, but when he lost this life, he won heaven." He died at Oakingham, whither he had removed by the advice of his physicians, on the 19th of November, 1590; he was buried there, and had a monument erected to him by his son Francis, afterwards Bishop of Hereford, the famous antiquarian. In addition to his mental attainments, Fuller says that "he was tall and comely in person, qualities which endeared him to Queen Elizabeth, who loved good parts well, but better when in a goodly person."

Couper, or Cooper, was born in Oxford, and bred there, having commenced his education in the school adjoining St. Mary Magdalen College, of which house he was a chorister; took the degree of B.A., and was chosen Probationary Fellow, 1539, and Perpetual Fellow in the year follow- ing; M.A. 1543;-made master of the School at Magdalen College;-resigned his fellowship, 1546; studied medicine, and proceeded M.B. 1556; he practised that science during the reign of Queen Mary, but, on the accession of Elizabeth, re- turned to the study of divinity; and accumulated his degrees in that branch of learning in 1566. He was presented to the deanery of Christ Church, April 28, in the following year; he kept the deanery of Gloucester but a few months. In 1573, C 10 he procured his own nomination to a prebendal stall at Lincoln, which he held in commendam with the see until 1581; Mr. Willis records the fact as the first instance in this cathedral of such a singular nomination, and is at a loss to account for its occurrence. Cooper's vast erudition and industry, and also his piety and integrity, caused him to be much esteemed and respected. He published "Thesaurus Linguæ Romanæ et Britannica," called Cooper's Dictionary, compiled on the foundation of Sir Thomas Eliot's Dic- tionary, and several other works, chiefly on prac- tical and controversial divinity. He died April 29, 1594, at Winchester, and was buried in the cathedral there, where there is a flat marble grave- stone to his memory; the inscription on which gives him the designation of "Munificentissimus, doc- tissimus, vigilantissimus præsul." It may be noticed that it was in his time that Lord Leicester, being chancellor of the University, assumed the power of nominating the commissary, -as the chancellor's deputy was then called,- and Dean Cooper was the first commissary whose designation was changed to that of vice-chancellor, a title which he assumed 1569.-Ath.

WHITGIFT, Margaret Professor of Divi- nity, 1563; chaplain to Queen Elizabeth, 1567; master of Pembroke Hall, 1567; Regius Pro- fessor of divinity, 1568; prebendary of Ely and dean of Lincoln: bishop of Worcester, 1577; and archbishop of Canterbury, 1583; died, 1604. -Biographia Britannica, vii. 4231. [The last, and perhaps the most distinguished, of the three divines, whom Queen Elizabeth raised to the primacy-her White-Gift, as she called him; a pun repeated in the following couplet,— "Sic Asunodagov te præstas, nomine, reque, Candorem gestans ore, animo, ingenio." 99 He was of an ancient and respectable descent: His father, Henry Whitgift, was a merchant at Great Grimsby, in Lincolnshire. John, the eldest of six sons, was born in Yorkshire, 1530; his early education was intrusted to his uncle, Robert Whitgift, who was Abbot of Wellow, in the first-named county; a choice which greatly influenced the course of the future archbishop; for this abbot is said to have been so deeply sen- sible of the corrupt manners of the clergy and laity of the Romish Church, as to have foretold from them the blow which she received in England. John Whitgift's distaste for Romish ceremo- nies was early manifested; for, on being com- mitted to the care of an aunt, in St. Paul's Churchyard, during his stay at St. Anthony's School, a seminary then, and for long before, held in great esteem, he positively refused to attend mass at St. Paul's, and was, in consequence, dis- missed by his relative. He was sent to Cam- bridge, and entered first at Queen's College, 1548, but removed afterwards to Pembroke Hall, of which Bishop Ridley was then master; and where Bradford-also a martyr-was his tutor, and Grindal, a fellow; B.A. 1534; M.A. 1557. Chosen, in 1555, a fellow of Peterhouse, he found a true friend in Dr. Perne, the master, who stopped him from quitting the country in the reign of Queen Mary, and defended him from the fiery clutches of Cardinal Pole when he visited the University. He became president of this college under Dr. Perne; was ordained 1560; B.D. 1563; D.D. 1567;-admitted to the master- ship of Trinity, July, 1567;-served the office of vice-chancellor to the University in 1570 and in 1573. In December, 1568, he was made chaplain to Bishop Coxe, rector of Teversham, Cambridge- shire, and prebendary of Ely. He resigned Tever- sham in 1572; in that year he was chosen pro- locutor of the Convocation. He was promoted to the deanery of Lincoln, 1571; and, in the fol- lowing year, a prebendal stall in the same cathedral was added to that dignity: he resigned all his preferments upon his appointment to Worcester; and was consecrated bishop of that see at Lam- beth, April 21, 1577. "And thus," says Strype, "from being a chief honour and stay of learning in the University, he was called out to serve and govern the Church." The bishop remained master of Trinity College until June, when, as a mark of respect to one who had done so much for them, the University, represented by the heads of houses, and a numerous train of scholars, accompanied him from Cambridge, on his journey towards his new diocese. He had the credit of leaving in a very quiet state his college, which, when he took the charge of it, he had found very disorderly. He was likewise made vice-president of the Marches of Wales, and, in that capacity, gave further proofs of his talents for governing. He had before been celebrated for his management of his colleges and of the University; in the latter he was the great restorer of discipline and order, which was then at a very low ebb. In token of his merit the salary of the Lady Margaret Professor was raised during his occupancy of the chair. He moved for, and obtained leave to compile, new statutes for the University in 1570; and about this time his famous and long-protracted controversy with Cartwright began. The latter was removed from the Margaret professorship in 1570, thongh he retained his fellowship, which he vacated, from neglecting to take orders, in 1572. Archbishop Whitgift was noted for his primi- tive manners, his singleness of mind, and the patience of his disposition; and although royal favours were showered plentifully on him they did not corrupt the purity of his character. Fuller calls him " one of the worthiest men the English hierarchy ever did enjoy." He was a great encourager of learning, and a benefactor to learned men, not in England only, but also in foreign parts. His mild and moderate behaviour is said to have won many persons from the errors of the Romish faith. He showed himself a staunch defender of the rights and liberties of the clergy; and has the great merit of having stopped the sale and pur- chase of places in the University over which he presided. He was a benefactor to Trinity College, by the gift of many MS. volumes of rare value. To 11 Deans of Westminster. Deans of Christ Church.

Pembroke Hall, he bequeathed the MS. of the Complutensian Bible; and at Peterhouse he founded a Bible clerkship, in conjunction with his kinswoman, Mrs. Fulnetby. In 1595, he began the free school and hospital at Croydon, which "he beautifully built, and bountifully endowed." In 1582, he was called upon to visit the diocese of Lichfield, then in some disorder, and was in- strumental in the formation of a divinity lecture in that cathedral. He was sworn a privy councillor in February 1585. When his predecessor at Canterbury fell into disgrace at court, the queen offered the see to him, but he refused to accept it, though pressed by Grindal to do so, until after the latter prelate's death. Also, on the death of the Lord Chancellor, Sir Thomas Bromley, in 1587, Whitgift was offered the seals by Queen Elizabeth, and, upon his re- fusal of them, they were given, at his recom- mendation, to Sir Christopher Hatton. The archbishop was the chief mourner at the queen's funeral; he also crowned her successor, and, of course, took a prominent part in the con- ference between the Conformists and Nonconform- ists, before King James, at Hampton Court, in January, 1604, where it is said that he spake most gravely. He did not long survive this con- ference, but died February 29,- of a palsy, brought on by going in his barge to attend a meeting of bishops at Fulham, -and was interred at Croydon, where there is a monument in remembrance of him. Strype gives him this-surely no mean-praise,- that "he left the Church of England, notwithstand- ing mighty opposition, in the good estate and condi- tion it was at first, most happily reformed."

He died at Bishops- thorpe, Sept. 28, 1594, and was buried in York Cathedral, where there is a monument to him.

He was appointed rector of South Bem- flete, Essex, December, 1584, and continued in it for one year, when he was presented to the rectories of Brintree and Foulsham, Norfolk; he was also nominated rector of East Barnet, Herts, 1591, and of Topplesfield, Middlesex, 1598, both which livings he held till his death. He resigned the head-mastership of the school in February, 1592; and died August 4, 1601, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. He published "Græcæ Linguæ Spicilegium" in 1575; it was afterwards abridged by Camden (see below) in 1597. He was also the author of several poems prefixed to various books; among them, of one to Camden's Britannia, and of the funeral oration on the death of Roger Ascham, whose letters and poems he collected and published, with some new matter of his own. Mr. Hallam,-to prove that "even before the middle of the queen's reign the rudiments of the Greek language were imparted to boys at West- minster School,"-quotes Grant's Spicilegium, and an edition of Constantius' Lexicon, which Grant superintended, "enriching it with four or five thousand new words, which he most likely took from Stephen's Thesaurus," and adds the au- thority of Harrison's preface to Holinshed, about 1586, for the fact that the boys of the three great collegiate schools were "well entered in the know- ledge of the Latin and Greek tongues and rules of versifying."-Ath.

CAMDEN, prebendary of Salisbury, 1589; head-master of Westminster School, 1593; Cla- rencieux king-at-arms, 1597; founder of the his- tory professorship, Oxford, 1622; author of the Britannia and Life of Queen Elizabeth; a most learned writer, a diligent antiquary, and impartial historian; died 1623, aged 73.-Biographia Bri- tanica, iii. 153. [Two parishes in the city of London claim the honour of being the birth-place of the Learned William Cambden, or Camden; for he was born May 2, 1551, in the Old Bailey, which is partly in the parish of St. Sepulchre's, and partly in that of St. Martin's, Ludgate. His father was Sampson Camden, a native of Lich- field, but a citizen and painter-stainer of London. He received the rudiments of his great learning in the new-founded school of Christ's Hospital, whence he was removed to St. Paul's School. In 1566, he was placed in Magdalen College as a servitor, and perfected himself in grammar learn- ing in the school, under the tuition of Dr. Thos. Cooper (see page 9). Having failed to obtain a demy's place, he betook himself for two years and a half to Broadgates Hall, under Dr. Thornton, canon of Christ Church, who invited him to Christ Church, and entertained him there during the remainder of his residence in the University. Camden had been brought up in the reformed religion, and was very faithful to that creed; his steady adherence to it at this time lost him his election at All Souls, where he was opposed by all the Romish fellows. In 1571, he withdrew from Oxford, to which he returned for a short time in 1573. Dean Goodman (see page 7) gave him much assistance in his studies, as did also the dean's nephew, Godfrey, the father of him who was elected to Cambridge in 1599, and it was by Dr. Godfrey Goodman's recommendation that he received, in 1575, the appointment of Second Master, which was changed to that of Head Mas- ter in March, 1592-3. In 1610, he was ap- pointed Historian to the newly formed college at Chelsea. He published, in 1597, " Institutio Græcæ Grammaticæ compendiaria in Usum Scholæ Regiæ Westmonasteriensis." This grammar has been through more than a hundred editions. In 1600, and 1606, appeared "Reges, Reginæ, Nobiles, et alii, in Ecclesiâ Collegiatâ B. Petri Westmonasterii sepulti usque ad 1600." But the first edition of his most celebrated work-his Britannia-appeared before any of his other writings; he devoted all the energies of his cultivated mind, and all the strength of his bodily frame, to the production of it; for, notwithstanding several severe illnesses and bodily infirmities, he made many long journeys in pursuit of his antiquarian and historical researches. The first edition was printed in octavo, 1586; another, in 1587; and a third, in 1590. Two quarto editions were published, one in 1594, the other in 1600, and a folio edition in 1607. It was besides reprinted in several towns on the continent. Translations into English were published by Philemon Holland and Bishop Gibson: referring to the latter is the follow- ing passage in Evelyn's Diary, Feb. 13, 1695. "The new edition of Camden's Britannia was now published with greate additions: those to Surrey were mine, so that I had one presented to me.' It was also translated into French. The first half of his Annals of Queen Elizabeth, to the year 1588, appeared in 1615, and the remainder followed in 1627. Camden's last sickness over- took him before he had completed the Annals of James the First's reign, although he had written a skeleton history up to August 18, 1623. This work was left in MS. in the author's own hand, and, upon Bishop Hacket's death, was deposited in the library of Trinity College, Cambridge. دو He died at Chiselhurst, Kent, where he had lived during the latter years of his life, November 9, 1623. His remains were, however, brought to West- minster, where they were laid in state for some days, and interred in the Abbey on the 19th. His monument is in the south transept. The University of Oxford, to mark their sense of his munificent liberality towards their Society, caused an oration to be delivered in his honour, which was made by Z. Townley. (See Election, 1615.) This oration was published, with the addi- tion of numerous poems in celebration of Cam- den's memory, under the title of "Camdeni Insignia," 1624, Anthony à Wood has this 13 Deans of Westminster.

He was an exact critic and phi- lologist, an excellent Grecian, Latinist, and his- torian, and, above all, a profound antiquary, as his elaborate works do testify. All which accom- plishments being compacted in a little body, made him not only admired at home by the chiefest of the nobility, and the most learned of the nation, but also beyond the seas," &c. He corresponded with the most learned men of his time abroad. In a letter to Archbishop Usher he himself gives a beautifully simple account of his manner of life almost from his youth up. In the concluding paragraph is the following high-minded passage:- "I know not who may justly say I was am- bitious, who contented myself in Westminster School when I writ my Britannia, and eleven years afterward, who refused a mastership of requests offered, and then had the place of a king- at-arms, without any suit, cast upon me. I did never set sail after present preferments, or desired to soar higher by others. I never made suit to any man, no not to His Majesty, but for a matter of course incident to my place, neither (God be praised) I needed, having gathered a contented sufficiency by my long labours in the school.

[Of Herefordshire extraction, but born in Bristol, and sent to Wells for the rudiments of his education; entered the University of Oxford in 1559, at the early age of 13. Strype informs us that he was bred at St. John's College, but, being made a student of Christ Church, he took the degree of M.A. at that col- lege, 1566, about which time he was ordained by Bishop Jewell; and Wood says that he was "much respected for his great learning, eloquence, sweet conversation, friendly disposition, and sharpness of his wit." It is related of him that, when Queen Elizabeth was at Oxford, in 1566, he so pleased her by the oration he delivered after her dinner at Christ Church, that she nominated him her scholar, and afterwards, on account of his admirable manner of preaching, that princess constituted him her chaplain. He became a prebendary of Wells, and accumulated the degrees in Divinity, 1574; re- signed the chauntership of Sarum in February, 1584; was rector of Bishop's Wearmouth, Durham, from May 28, 1590, until he became Bishop of Durham. He was a learned man, and had a great repu- tation for scholarship, and his nomination to a bishopric is said to have given general satisfaction, especially to the clergy. Strype calls him "a great light of the Church of England, a great preacher, and a pious and holy man." Yet Queen Eliza- beth "stuck a good while" in confirming Cecil's designation of him to the deanery of Durham, "because of his youth and marriage." He once, too, refused the bishopric of that see, when he found Sir Walter Raleigh bent upon obtaining a portion of its lands. Fuller describes him as a man of wit, and yet of gravity, and as possessing a handsome person. He defended the rights of his see against the encroachments of the crown with great firmness, and was successful in several lawsuits against the queen, though he seems to have been more com- pliant towards her successor. In 1603, he met King James, on his way to England, at Berwick, preached to him in that town, and escorted him to Durham, where he slept. Bishop Mathew was also present at the Hampton Court Conference in that year. He was interred in York Cathedral, and a con- spicuous memorial erected over his tomb. He published a Latin sermon against Campian, the Jesuit, and a letter to James I. He left other works ready for the press, but they do not appear to have been ever published. A record of the sermons which he preached shows that he preached 721 as Dean of Durham; as Bishop, 550; as Archbishop, 721.-Ath.

Bishop Still was famous for his powers of preach- ing and disputation. He is also celebrated for having written, when M.A. of Christ's College, one of the plays first printed in the English language. It was printed in London, 1575, having been "played on stage not longe ago in Christe's Colledge, in Cambridge. دو He died at Wells, Feb. 26, 1607, and lies interred in the cathedral there, under an alabaster monument. During his tenure of the see its revenues were much augmented by the discovery of lead in the Mendip Hills. He was twice married; first, to a daughter of Thos. Alabaster, of Hadley in Suffolk, whose grandson we shall notice under Election 1583. He is said to have raised a great estate, and founded three families, from the proceeds of his see; but the simoniacal charges brought against him were refuted; he left 500l. to build alms- houses at Wells.-Cole's MSS. xlv. 225; xlix. 330; Ath.

He served the office of vice-chancellor in 1581 and in 1590; and was "very strict in his office, endeavouring, not only to break the ill course of preaching taken up through a late custom by the Divines of the University," but also trying to suppress the clamorous proceedings of the regents on the granting of degrees; he succeeded Dr. Tobie Mathew in the deaneries of Christ Church and Durham, and in the bishopric of the latter diocese, and, dying on the 12th of May, 1617, was buried in the choir of that cathedral. was chaplain to Dudley, Earl of Leicester, and his confessor at his death.

Bishop James was the son of John James, of Lit- tleton, in Staffordshire, but he was a native of Sandbach, in Cheshire, whence his mother came. His hospitality during his younger days was notorious; he spent a great deal in the repair of the chapel of Durham House in the Strand, and bequeathed legacies to the poor at Kingham and Bishop's Auckland. He contributed liberally to the re-establishment of the library at Christ Church, and to the formation of the Bodleian Library. His picture hangs in the hall at Christ Church, and in the Bodleian.

He was M.A. of Cambridge; incor- porated in that degree at Oxford, 1581, and elected one of the first scholars of Jesus College in the last- named university; B.D.; vicar of St. Giles's, Cripplegate, which living he gave up in 1604; and of Cheam, Surrey, 1609; but he resigned the latter vicarage in the same year. He was also a privy-councillor. He died September 26, at Winchester House, Southwark, and lay there till November 11, when his body was removed to St. Saviour's Church, and there interred. As Bishop Andrewes was never married, and left the greatest part of his estate to charitable uses; indeed it has been said of him that every benefice he had was the better for his tenancy of it. dean of Westminster he was present at, and took part in, the Conferences of Divines at Hampton Court, before King James, 1604; and presided over the ten translators of the Bible, who met at Westminster, and to whom were assigned the earlier books of the Old Testament to the end of the first book of Chronicles. Fuller thus quaintly records his learning and virtues :-"The world wanted learning to know how learned this man. was, so skilled in all (especially oriental) languages, that some conceive he might, if then living, almost have served as interpreter-general at the confusion of tongues. Nor are the Fathers more faithfully cited in his books than lively copied out in his countenance and carriage, his gravity in a manner awing King James, who refrained from that mirth and liberty in the presence of this prelate, which otherwise he assumed to himself." And Bishop Hacket tells us that he looked much after the improvement of the Westminster Scholars, often even supplying for a week together the place of the masters; that he revised their exercises, was always accompanied by two of them when he went to Chiswick, that he frequently sent for those in the upper forms, and devoted whole evenings to their instruction, and that this was done in a very strict and exact, though in a mild and tender manner. Bishops Duppa, and Hacket himself, who were instructed in Hebrew by this pious dean, are instances of this attention to the interests of the King's Scholars. (See Election, 1605.)

[Richard Neile, or Neale, as his name is written in all the archives of St. John's College, was the son of a tallow-chandler in King Street, Westminster, and born in that city, March, 1561-2; educated at Westminster School under Grant. On the death of his father, his mother would have been forced to apprentice him to a trade, had he not been removed from West- minster, on the nomination of Dean Goodman, to one of the two scholarships at St. John's College, Cambridge, which Mildred, Lady Burghley, had founded in Goodman's name at that College. subscription upon his admission is in these words: "Ego Ricardus Nealus Westmonasteriensis, ad- missus sum Discipulus pro Dão Doctore Goodman His 16 Deans of Westminster.

This benefaction he held until 1585. He matri- culated in the month after his admission, and took the degree of B.A. 1584; that of M.A. in 1586. Wood says "that he passed through all degrees and orders of the Church of England, and was thereby made acquainted with the conve- niences and distresses incident to all conditions. He served the church as schoolmaster, curate, vicar, parson, master of the Savoy, dean of West- minster; and it must be remarked that the num- ber of his translations is unparalleled in the English church." The Cecils did not desert him, for after his ordination he was made chaplain to the great Lord Burghley, and continued in that employment by his son Robert, Earl of Salisbury. Vicar of Cheshunt, Herts, from 1590 until 1605; and he also held the living of Tuddington; he was first prebendary, and, in 1598, treasurer, of Chi- chester; the latter office, and therefore probably the former, he resigned on his promotion to Lichfield, in 1610; he held the livings of Southfleet, Kent, and of Clifton Cumville, in commendam with the see of Lichfield, which was the occasion of a remarkable lawsuit. In 1600, Neile was incorporated in the degree of D.D., at Oxford, to which he had already been. admitted at Cambridge; he was installed dean here, November 5, 1605, the day of the celebrated Gunpowder Plot; consecrated a bishop October 9, 1608; sworn of the Privy Council April 29, 1627; at the same time as Bishop Laud, whose patron he was, having made him his chaplain, and placed him in the road to the great preferments which he ultimately reached. He He died, October 31, in the Close of the church at York, and was buried in that cathedral in the chapel of All Saints, without any memorial being erected to him, although Sir Paul Neile, his son, who survived him, was a person of fortune. was, as may be seen by his will, sincerely and firmly attached to the Church of England, and opposed the Scotch courtiers of James I. in their incessant at- tempts to pillage her revenues. Both at Durham and Lincoln he spent large sums of money upon the episcopal residences. Dr. Heylin describes him as 66 a man of so strange a composition, that whether he were of a larger and more publick soul, or of a more uncourtly conversation, it were hard to say.' Wood's character of him is still more in his praise, "He died," says that biographer, "as full of years as he was of honours, an affectionate subject to his prince, an indulgent father to his clergy, a bountiful patron to his chaplains, and a true friend to all who relied upon him." He is supposed to have published a book called Spalato's Shiftings in Religion; against Marc. Ant. de Dominis, Archbishop of Spalato, in 1624. He left to his 1610. John Wilson2. 1610.

He was nomi- nated to the see of Durham, as stated above, in 1627, but, not liking to leave London, he deferred accepting it until 1628, when York fell vacant, and he gladly took it; he was elected to York, June 26; enthroned, October 24; and died in a fortnight from that time, about November 6. was buried in the chancel of the church of Cawood, Yorkshire, his native place, in which a "comely" monument was erected to his memory by his brother, surmounted by a bust of him in large sleeves, with a long inscription on it; the metrical part of which was by Hugh Holland the poet. He died a bachelor, and, in grateful remembrance of having been a fellow of Queen's, founded two scholarships and gave a large piece of ground to that college. Fuller asserts (erroneously, as may be seen by the monument at Cawood) that Montaigne was a native of Thame, Oxon; and adds, "that when his great housekeeping" (in the see of London) "and magnificent entertaining of King James shall be forgotten, will longer survive for his bountiful benefaction to Queen's College, Cam- He 17 Deans of Westminster.

No. xvi. 502-6, where a letter is given from Owen Price, of Mag- dalen College, to Henry Scobell, secretary to His Highness his Councill in Whitehall, complaining of the difficulties he meets with in his way to the mas- tership of Westminster School; with certain con- siderations to be proposed to the Governors, dated June 2, 1658. "Considerations to be proposed to the Hon. the Governors of the Free School at Westminster. 1. "That whereas the second schoolmaster of that school was wont to teach the third and fourth formes (as it hath bin a constant custome for above sixty years), and that now, upon the occasion of a late quarrel, this method is disordered by taking up the third schoolmaster into the Upper School, and by casting down the second to teach the three lowest formes. It is desired that the school may be reduced to its former order, and that the second schoolmaster may have the full benefit of those boyes whom he teaches for himself. 2. "That no restraint be upon him to be con- stant with the town boyes at bed and board; but that sometimes he may visit his familie, it being in the neighbourhood. For one MR. HARDING (who was the second schoolmaster and a married man) had his abode in his own familie; the statutes not requiring that the second should be more constant with them than the Head school- master. 3. "It s desired that the schoolmasters should pray in English in their turns, not using the same form and that he that prays should call one of the boyes to read a chapter in the English Bible; and that all the boyes should give an accompt of the chapter read, as the master is pleased to ask."] 1 W.

Bishop Tounson is described by Fuller as possessing "a happy memory," and as being "of a comely carriage, courteous nature, an excellent preacher;" and, it is added, "he left a wife and many children, neither plentifully provided for, nor destitute of mainte- nance;" the same author says in another place that Tounson was "free from covetousness, confident in God's providence that his children should be provided for, which they were."

WILLIAMS, chaplain to King James I., master of the Savoy, dean of Salisbury, 1619; lord keeper of the great seal, and bishop of Lin- coln, 1621; archbishop of York, 1641; died, 1650.- Biographia Britannica, vii. 427. [Derived his origin from a good family in North Wales, being the son of Edmund Williams of Conway, Carnarvonshire;-received his education at St. John's College, Cambridge, where he took his degrees, that of B.A. at the close of the Queen's reign, and that of M.A. three years later; he was chosen fellow, 1603; appointed chaplain to the Lord Chancellor Egerton, but did not reside with him, until he had served the office of proctor to the university, in 1611-12. During his year of office he was noted for the splendid manner in which he entertained the Lord Chancellor and the Spanish Ambassador on their visit to Cam- bridge. In 1601, he was appointed to the rectory of Duddinghurst; in 1611, to that of Grafton, Northamptonshire; and in 1614, to that of Wal- degrave, in the latter county. He also held the rectory of Dinam, and the sinecure rectory of Llanchiadr, in Kinmerch; the latter he vacated soon after his nomination to the deanery of Salis- bury, when he likewise gave up the mastership of the Savoy. He was also appointed prebendary of Hereford, 1612; prebendary and precentor of Lincoln, 1613; and prebendary of Peterborough, 1616. He held the stall at Lincoln, and the rectory of Waldegrave, in commendam with the see of Lincoln,-and the deanery of Westminster, with the archiepiscopal see, until December 1644.. He was appointed to an archdeaconry in Wales (probably Cardigan) by Archbishop Bancroft; it is, however, doubtful whether he actually took possession of it; though by virtue of it he sat in the Convocation of 1613. His political career is well known at the sug- gestion of the Duke of Buckingham, King James appointed him Lord Keeper, July 10, 1621. The hand that raised him pulled him down; and he was removed from that important post, November 1, 1625, which, Lord Clarendon sarcastically says, "though he was a man of great wit and good scholastick learning," was "the only recompence and satisfaction that could be made for his pro- motion." Upon his disgrace at court, he with- drew into the country, and obtained considerable popularity by undisguised speeches against the court and the king. He had always looked upon Laud as his enemy, and,- on the latter taking in hand the restoration of the Church from the negli- gent state into which it had fallen under Arch- bishop Abbot,-published a book against the rules and injunctions of the Archbishop; "a book," says Clarendon," so full of good learning, and that learning so close and solidly applied (though it abounded with too many light expressions), that it gained him reputation enough to be able to do hurt; and showed that, in his retirement, he had spent his time with his books very profitably." He had several informations lodged against him in the Star Chamber, and was finally convicted for suborning the witnesses, and sentenced, July 11, 1637, by that court to suspension from his bene- fices, fined in a great sum of money to the king, and committed prisoner to the Tower, where he remained until November 16, 1640. After his release he was for some time the idol of the Pu- ritans, whom, however, he displeased by a sermon preached in the early part of the following year; in the latter part of which the king translated him to York; and he it was who, a few days after this translation, persuaded the other eleven bishops to sign the Protest against the legality of the Acts of Parliament during their absence, for which they were accused of high treason by the House of Commons, and imprisoned in the Tower for eighteen months. When he regained his freedom, he joined the king at Oxford, and retired to his castle of Aberconway, which he carefully fortified for the royal cause, but upon some pique gave it over to a garrison of the Parliament, and declared for that party. He died at Glodduith, in Carnarvon, March 25 (being the anniversary of his birthday), 1650, and was buried in Llandegui church, where his heirs erected a monument to him, for which Bishop Hacket (see Election, 1608) wrote the inscrip- tion. Wood says, that "while he was in his greatness, he was characterized to be a person of a generous mind, a lover and encourager of learning and learned men (he himself being very learned), hospitable, and a great benefactor to the public, yet always high and proud, and sometimes inso- lent, and to have pharisaical leaven in him :" Certain it is that he displayed a princely liberality towards the benefices committed to his charge. At Westminster, Widmore says, he made Islip his pat- tern, for his conduct as to the buildings of the church, and Dean Andrewes, for the encouragement of the school and scholars, and advancement of learning; and Bishop Hacket gives the same testimony as to his anxiety for the proficiency of the King's Scholars. He laid out, in no long time after his nomination to the deanery, 4,5007. on the repairs 19 Deans of Westminster. Deans of Christ Church. Masters of Trinity College. 1625. Leonard Mawe2.

In 1622, he began to expend a great sum of money upon St. John's College. In April, 1624, he gave, as a perpetual benefaction, an annual sum for the maintenance of four scho- lars, known by violet-coloured gowns, to be re- moved hence to the place of his own education, St. John's College, Cambridge; the boys on this foundation are called BISHOP'S BOYS; erected two new fellowships in that house, into which only out of those four the best were to be chosen. Withal he purchased the patronage of four rich benefices to receive those scholars and fellows of his foundation, upon the death or ces- sation of the incumbents." ""* It is, however, not clear whether the latter part of this benefaction was carried out to its full extent. He is said to have meditated still larger benefactions to the church and school, had not the troubles of his life prevented his performing them. It should not be forgotten that he was the person who converted the old Monk's Parlour, in the eastern cloisters of Westminster Abbey, into a public library, at an expense to himself of 2,000l.

Bishop Reynolds is said by Wood to have "had excellent parts and endowments;" to have been "a great divine, and much esteemed by all parties. for his preaching and florid style;" Anthony adds, that he was urged on by his wife to support the republican party. His works, all on the subject of his calling, were collected and published in 1658; and to a second edition, in 1679, were added thirty sermons, preached on several occa- sions.

[The son of Walter Wilkins, a goldsmith of Oxford, but born at Fawsley, in Northampton- shire, in the house of his maternal grandfather, Mr. Dod; educated in grammar learning in aprivate school at Oxford, and entered at New Inn Hall, 1627, when he was 13 years old; thence he removed to Magdalen Hall, of which he became M.A. 1634. Having been admitted into Holy Orders, he became chaplain to Lord Say, and, in 1637, Mr. Knightley made him vicar of Fawsley, his native place. He was first brought into notice by being admitted into the family of the Elector Palatine, then in England, in whose household he remained some time; but, upon the Puritans getting the upper hand in the kingdom, Wilkins joined himself to them, and took the covenant; he was rewarded with the headship of Wadham, to which he was appointed on the 7th of April: on the 12th, he was created B.D.; and, in 1649, he proceeded D.D. In 1656, he married Tobina, sister of Oliver Cromwell, and widow of Peter French, Canon of Christ Church; and obtained a dispensation from his brother-in-law, by which he continued Warden of Wadham, notwithstanding his marriage, and in defiance of the statutes of that college. In March, 1658, he was incorporated D.D. at Cam- bridge, and admitted Master of Trinity, upon the nomination of Richard Cromwell. Although re- moved from that post on the Restoration, his pros- perity did not forsake him. In 1660, he was made prebendary of York; in 1661, rector of Cranford, Middlesex; in 1662, vicar of St. Law- rence, Jewry, London; in 1666, vicar of Pole- brook, Northamptonshire; in 1667, precentor of Exeter; and, in 1668, a prebendary of St. Paul's: The prebendal stall of York he held in commendam with the see of Chester, but resigned his other benefices. He died on the 19th of November, 1672, and was buried in the Church of St. Lawrence, Jewry. He owed his elevation to Chester to the influence of the Duke of Buckingham, and Burnet remarks, that "it was no small prejudice to him, that he was recommended by so bad a man." Wood says nothing was wanting to him "but a constant mind and settled principles." He was an excellent mathematician, and much addicted to natural philosophy, in which he made several discoveries. The philosophical meetings, which had been instituted in Oxford since 1645, and of which he had been a main support, were 23 Deans of Westminster. Deans of Christ Church. Masters of Trinity College.

From these meetings sprang the Royal Society, of which Dr. Wilkins was appointed the first secretary, November 30, 1668. His works are principally on scientific subjects, though he published some philological and theological ones during his lifetime, and Dr. Tillotson printed a volume of his sermons after his death. Notwithstanding his Latitudinarian principles, Evelyn's praise of him seems just,- "that he was a most obliging person, and tooke great pains to preserve the universities from the ignorant sacrilegious Commanders and Souldiers, who would faine have demolished all places and persons that pretended to learning." He be- queathed £400 to the Royal Society, and £200 to Wadham College. There are portraits of him in the hall, and in the Warden's Lodgings, at Wadham, in the Bodleian Library, and in the rooms of the Royal Society.-Ath.

EARLE, tutor to King Charles II.; chan- cellor of Salisbury, 1643 [to 1662]; chaplain, and clerk to the closet, of King Charles II., 1650; bishop of Worcester, 1662; bishop of Salisbury, 1663; died 1665, aged 65. [He was the son of Thomas Earle, gentleman, Registrar of the Archbishop's Court at York, and a native of that city;-was entered at Christ Church, Oxford, whence he was chosen a probationer fellow of Merton, probably in 1619, for in that year he be- came B.A. of the latter college; he is said to have then been about 19 years of age. was early distinguished for his learning and scholarship, and had considerable reputation for poetry. He was proctor to the university in 1631, and, soon afterwards, chaplain to Philip, Earl of Pembroke, by whom he was nominated to the rectory of Bishopstone, Wilts. In 1632, he was incorporated at Cambridge in the degree of M.A.; in 1642, created D.D. at Oxford, and elected one of the Assembly of Divines in 1643; but he refused to sit as one of that body. As he remained constant to the fortunes of his exiled sovereign, he was deprived of his benefices, and, meeting Charles II. at Rouen, after the battle of Worcester, was made by him his chaplain and clerk of the closet. In 1665, when the Court and Parliament retired to Oxford, the bishop accompanied them, and was lodged in University College, where he died on the 17th of November. "This Dr. Earl," says Wood, (6 was a very genteel man, a contemner of the world, religious, and most worthy of the office of a bishop,' and Izaak Walton talks of his "innocent wisdom," his "sanctified learning," and "pious, peace- able, primitive temper." Evelyn also men- tions his popular character and amiable disposi- tion; and Burnet says, that "he had followed the king in all his exile with so clear a character, that the king could never see or hear of any one thing amiss in him." During his exile at Cologne, he translated into Latin Hooker's Ecclesiastical Polity, but, owing to carelessness, this valuable work was destroyed before it was printed. 1628, he published, under the name of Edward Blount, "Micro-cosmography; or, a Piece of the World characterized in Essays and Characters." This work went through twelve editions, and the thirteenth, with notes, and an appendix containing some other of Dr. Earle's compositions, was pub- lished by Dr. Bliss, in 1811. He also translated into Latin the Είκων Βασιλικη. In Among his most intimate friends was Bishop Morley, with whom he lived at Antwerp. (See Election, 1615.) During his presidency at Westminster, the chapter laid out £24,000 on the laudable benefac- tions of repairing the Abbey, of augmenting the vicarages in their gift, in abatement to tenants, and in the redemption of slaves in Turkey. He was buried under the High Altar in Merton College chapel, where there is a long monumental inscription in memory of him. He was a contri- butor to the sums collected for the repairs of Christ Church after the Restoration.- Ath.

FELL, prebendary of Chichester, canon of Christ Church, 1660; vice-chancellor, 1666, 1667, 1668, and 1669; bishop of Oxford, 1675; "an emi- nent Grecian, Latinist, and philologist;" died, 1686. [In addition to these preferments, he was chaplain to the King, and master of St. Oswald's, Worces- ter, which latter, as well as the deanery of Christ 24 Church, he held in commendam with the bishopric of Oxford. An unmarried man, he devoted to works of piety and charity not only the chief part of the money he received from his benefices, but the whole of his patrimony; Christ Church itself,-where he built the north side of the Great Quadrangle, the Tower, and the east part of the Chaplain's Quad- rangle, made the long walk in the meadow, and erected the buildings in front of it, for which he purchased many good preferments, and to which he bequeathed exhibitions for ten poor scholars;- Cuddesden Palace';-the church at Banbury, to the restoration of which he gave £500;-the theatre, and the printing press at Oxford, upon which he bestowed considerable care and expense,-are among the most noted objects of his benefaction. As head of his college, he laboured to restore the discipline which had been so much shaken during the usurpation, and to promote learning and religion therein. This worthy dean and prelate was the son of the former Dean Fell, of whose merits mention will be made under election 1601; born at Long- worth, Berks;-educated in the Free School of Thame, Oxon;-nominated a student in 1636, being only eleven years old;-completed the degree of M.A. 1643;-bore arms in the garrison of Oxford, and held the commission of Ensign in the King's service. He was, therefore, removed from his studentship by the Parliamentary Visitors in 1648; but, having been ordained deacon in 1647, and priest in 1649, he continued in Oxford, where, together with Dolben and Allestree, he administered in secret the rites of the Church of England to a small congregation until the Restoration. It is for this reason that, in the picture of him in Christ Church Hall, he is represented with Dolben and Allestree. There is also a three-quarters length of him, in his episcopal dress, by Vandyck, and a statue of him, the gift of Dr. John Hammond, (see Election, 1658), over the north-east angle of the Great Quadrangle, next to the Deanery. In 1660, he was actually created D.D., and in- stalled dean of Christ Church, November 30, in that year. Bishop Fell died, July 10, 1686, and was in- terred at Christ Church: The epitaph placed on his monument in the cathedral, some time after his death, was the composition of Dean Aldrich. Bishop Burnet has given a fine character of him, -"A man of great strictness in the course of his life, and of much devotion. His learning appears in that noble edition of St. Cyprian that he pub- lished." Again,-"He set himself to promote learning in the university, but most particularly in his own college, which he governed with great care;" and, Burnet adds,-" as he was among the first of our clergy that apprehended the design of bringing in Popery, so he was one of the most zealous against it." Bishop Fell was assisted in the edition of St. Cyprian here alluded to by Bishop Pearson (see page 25); thus, as they had been united in their labours, so it may be remarked, as a curious coincidence, that they died within six days of one another. The St. Cyprian appeared in 1682. This bishop wrote and published several other theological pieces, and an account of the lives of Dr. Henry Hammond and Dr. Richard Allestree, a treatise on logic, &c. Evelyn, alluding to his death, calls it "an extraordinary losse to the poore. church at this time."-Ath. Ox. iv. 194-201; Hist. and Antiq.

FERNE, archdeacon of Leicester, vice- chancellor of Cambridge, [1660 and 1661,] dean of Ely [and prolocutor of Convocation], 1660-1; bishop of Chester, 1662; died, 1662. [His no- mination to the mastership of Trinity was in con- firmation of a patent for that place, which he had received from Charles I. in 1643; he had at- tached himself to that prince's falling fortunes in 1642, and, having won his admiration by preach- ing before him at Leicester, was nominated his chaplain extraordinary; and in the next year, on a vacancy, chaplain in ordinary. He was also the first who published anything in defence of his royal master; this piece was printed in November, 1642. He was one of the divines who accompanied the Lords Commissioners for the Treaty at Uxbridge; after this he returned to the King, and remained with him until after the battle of Naseby, and was again summoned by Charles I. to the Isle of Wight, where he was the last person who preached before that unfortunate monarch. He was ejected from all his benefices, and led a retired life in England until the Resto- ration. After that event, he was chosen prolocutor of the Convocation. He did not live to enjoy the preferments to which his faithful services, and his merits as a divine, had entitled him; his consecra- tion took place February 9, and his death, at the early age of 59, March 16, 1662, before he had even visited his diocese. As to his birth, parentage, and early life, we know that he was a native of York, and the eighth son of Sir Henry Ferne, knight; that he was sent to the free school at Uppingham, by Sir Thomas Nevill, of Holt, Leicestershire, whom his mother had taken for her second husband; from Up- pingham he went to Oxford, and was entered a commoner of St. Mary's Hall, in 1618. In 1620, he was removed to Trinity College, Cambridge, of which he was chosen fellow, 1624;-completed his M.A. degree, 1626;-proceeded B.D.;-was chap- lain to Dr. Morton, Bishop of Durham, and, in 1638, presented by his college to the living of Masham, Yorkshire; resigned it in the following year, when he obtained from his step-brother the rectory of Medburn, Leicestershire, which he held until 1647: Bishop Williams had already ap- pointed him to the Archdeaconry of Leicester, 1641, which caused his first introduction to Charles I. He proceeded D.D. at Cambridge, 1641; and was incorporated in the same degree a Oxford in 1643. Besides his Case of Conscience, published against the rebellion, he printed several sermons and theological treatises.

[It cannot but be considered a singular coincidence that three consecutive masters of Trinity should have become bishops of Chester, and in a different order to that in which. they were masters of Trinity. Dr. Pearson (whom Burnet characterizes "as in all respects the greatest divine of the age, of great learning, strong reason, and of a clear judgment;" "of a spotless life and of an excellent temper,") was born at Creake, in Norfolk, 1612, being the son of the Rev. Robert Pearson, rector of that parish; removed from Eton to King's College, Cambridge, 1632; B.A. 1635; M.A. 1639; and in that year re- signed his fellowship, and lived as a fellow com- moner; vicar of Thorington, Suffolk, and chap- lain to Lord Finch he became also chaplain to George, Lord Goring, at Exeter; preacher of St. Clement's, Eastcheap, London; was removed from his stall at Salisbury during the rebellion; rector of St. Christopher's, London, from 1660 until 1662; D.D. by Royal Mandate; chaplain in ordinary to the King; master of Jesus College, Cambridge, December 5, 1660; removed thence to Trinity, April 14, 1662; held the rectory of Wigan, Lancashire, in commendam with the archdeaconry of Surrey, but appears to have resigned all his other benefices on his promotion to Chester. He died July 16, and was buried within the com- munion rails of his own cathedral, without any memorial. Evelyn, who calls him "the most learned divine of our nation," mentions his preach- ing at Eastcheap in 1665, so that he must have held that preachership for some time, as Walker says he had it during the usurpation. He was the author of many learned works; but that upon which his reputation is mainly built is his exposi- tion of the Creed, which has continued, since its first publication in 1659, to be a work of standard authority in the Church of England; an eleventh edition of it was published in 1723, since which date it has been twice reprinted at the Clarendon Press. On the last occasion, in 1833, it appeared in two volumes, and Dr. Burton was the editor. He gave £250 to the rebuilding of St. Paul's Cathedral, and left benefactions to the poor of St. Oswald's, Chester, and of Snoring, Norfolk.- Cole's MSS. xlv. 225; Ath.

BARROW, Greek professor, Cambridge, 1660; geometry professor of Gresham College, 1662; F.R.S. 1663; Lucasian professor of mathematics at Cambridge, 1664; prebendary of Salisbury, 1669; vice-chancellor, 1675; an eminent mathe- matician and divine; died, 1677, aged 47. [Few persons ever attained such a deserved reputation in such various branches of science and learning, whose life was so short, and whose preferments were comparatively of so humble a character, as the celebrated Isaac Barrow: his sermons must remain specimens of profound erudition, of splendid eloquence, and of the manner in which a subject may be exhausted, so long as the Church of Eng- land and the English language exist. This want of proportion between his advance- ment and his deserts was partly owing to the sin- gleness of mind, which kept him from seeking-in- deed, rather prompted him to avoid--such promo- tion as others might have deemed his due; partly because his great claims were not rewarded by the Crown till several years after the Restoration, as he has amusingly declared in a couplet ascribed to him,- "Te magis optavit rediturum, Carole, nemo, Et nemo sensit te rediisse minus." The University of Cambridge paid him what honour lay in their power for his mathematical proficiency; but the only ecclesiastical preferments which he held, besides the headship of Trinity, were at small sinecure in Wales, which he received from his uncle, the Bishop of St. Asaph, and a prebendal E 26 Deans of Westminster.

John North¹. stall at Salisbury; to both of these he was pre- sented about the same time, and, until his ap- pointment as master of Trinity, when he gave them both up, he devoted their revenues to works of beneficence and charity connected with them. His whole career was a very singular one. His family was one of ancient descent in Suffolk. He was born in London, October, 1630; his grandfather, Isaac Barrow, Esq., a gentleman of good estate in Cambridgeshire, had two sons, Isaac, who became Bishop of St. Asaph, and Thomas, the father of the subject of this notice, who was a citizen of London, and linendraper to Charles I. At the Charter-house, the first school to which he was sent, Barrow was only noted for his idleness and his love of fighting; he was on this account removed to a school at Felstead, in Essex, where he abandoned his idle habits, and applied himself so successfully to his studies, that his master made him a sort of tutor to Lord Fairfax, of Ireland, then a boy at the same school. Whilst still at Felstead, he was admitted a pen- sioner of Peterhouse, Cambridge, of which his uncle was then a fellow,-December 15, 1643; and he was admitted a pensioner of Trinity Col- lege, February 5, 1645. At this time, the for- tunes of his family began to suffer for their staunch adherence to the royal cause, and the young student must have abandoned the career of learn- ing, had not Dr. Hammond, Canon of Christ Church, given him the means of completing his education. He was himself firmly attached to the house of Stuart, and had the courage stedfastly to refuse to take the Covenant; once in- deed he assented to the Engagement, but he forth- with repented of it, and insisted upon the Com- missioners scratching out his name; he was a scholar of Trinity, 1647;-B.A. 1648;-fellow of Trinity, 1649;-M.A.1652;-incorporated in that degree at Oxford, July 12, 1653; and in the next year, having failed to obtain the Greek professor- ship at Cambridge, to which he was strongly re- commended by Dr. Duport (see Election, 1622); he sold his books, and set out on an extensive tour, during which he visited Paris; at Florence he availed himself of his acquaintance with the Grand Duke's Librarian to study for some time in the library belonging to that prince. From Italy Barrow continued his travels to Smyrna and Con- stantinople; here, also, he remained for some time, studying the works of the Fathers, and especially those of St. Chrysostom. In 1659, he returned home by way of Venice, Germany, and Holland. Immediately upon his return he was ordained by Bishop Brownrigge;-proceeded B.D. 1661;—was appointed First Lucasian Professor at Cambridge, upon which he resigned the similar office he held in Gresham College; and, intending to devote himself wholly to theology, he, in 1669, resigned the former office also; he likewise declined the charge of the Cotton Library, which had been offered to him; he was chaplain to the King, and, in 1670, took his D.D. degree by Royal Mandate; and was admitted master of Trinity, February 27, 1672. Having come up to London for the Westminster Election, he caught a fever, of which he tried to rid himself by fasting and opium (a remedy he had learnt, and used with success, in Turkey)—the treatment only aggravated the malady, and he died on the 4th of May, 1677, in a prebendal house, described by his friend and successor, Dr. North, as having "a little stair to it out of the cloisters ;" Dr. Pope (see Election, 1645), however, alleges him to have died in mean lodgings in Charing Cross. Dr. Barrow was interred, and a monument erected to him, in Westminster Abbey; the monu- ment was erected at the expense of his friends, and the epitaph composed by Dr. Mapletoft. This remarkable man was, of undaunted courage, of which he gave a proof in an action with some pirates on his voyage to Constantinople. He was capable of bearing extraordinary fatigue, as he used to show when he preached his sermons, which were generally of a very great length, and yet seemed but little effort to him. Of his works, he left his Euclid to be published during his absence on his travels, and it appeared in 1655; many of the others were printed in his lifetime; but he left his MSS. to Archbishop Tillotson, and the first edition of them appeared in three volumes, folio, in 1683-6; and, in 1687, came out "Isaaci Barrow Opuscula," with an account of the author, making a fourth and last volume. He had at one time studied anatomy, botany, and chemistry, with a view to the practice of physic. He was a great writer of poetry, and neglected none of the opportunities the University afforded him of exercising his talent. He also wrote some poems descriptive of his travels. He had endeavoured to excite the Heads of Houses at Cambridge to build a handsome theatre for the performance of academical ceremonies, and, on their refusal, he devoted his energies to the foundation of the library at Trinity College, for which he collected funds, and almost saw finished before he died.]-Biographia Britannica, i. 629, [and Cole's MSS. xlv. 225; Fasti Ox. ii. 178; Collier's Dictionary; North's Life, iii. 319-20. 359 and 364-5; Monk's Life of Bentley, i. 206; Le Neve's Fasti, 405 and 413; Watt's Bibl.

His boyish education was intrusted to Dr. Stephens, the master of a then famous school at Bury St. Edmund's. In the interval betwen his departure thence, and his establishment at Cambridge, he was initiated by his father in the study of logic and metaphysics. He matriculated at Jesus Col- lege, Cambridge, December 13, 1661; at first he was a fellow commoner, but afterwards, on the death of his grandfather, he put on a nobleman's gown;-B.A. 1663; M.A. 1666; and, on the 8th of September, in that year, was admitted fellow of Jesus. He was incorporated in the degree of M.A. at Oxford, 1669; in 1670, with- out any solicitation on his part, he was presented, by Archbishop Sheldon, (being an option which fell to that prelate from the Bishop of Bangor,) to the sinecure living of Llandinam, Montgomery- shire; this preferment made him independent of his fellowship, and, the society of Jesus College not being congenial to his habits and taste, he entered himself at Trinity College, of which his friend Dr. Barrow was a resident, and distinguished fellow. He diligently executed his duties as Greek pro- fessor during the two years he held that office. He was chaplain to the Duke of Lauderdale, and, being a favourite with him, was created D.D. when that nobleman visited the University. He was admitted to the mastership of Trinity, May 12, 1677; and his brother and biographer remarks, that "as it was his desire, so it was his fate," to die "in that function." But his elevation was no source of pleasure to him. He had been all his life a rigid economist, until economy had become a habit with him, and had led a retired life and one of severe study; an anxious and timid mind magnified the cares and vexations in- cident to his new post; and he soon rendered himself unpopular in the college by his rigorous conduct, and was drawn into quarrels with the senior fellows, as to the election of fellows. These grievances, added to ill health engendered by se--- vere study, produced a fit of apoplexy, by which both mind and body were shattered; he died at Cam- bridge some time after his first attack, about April, 1683, and was buried in the ante-chapel of Trinity College. His published works were-a Sermon preached before the King at Newmarket, and "Platonis de rebus divinis dialogi selecti Græcè et Latinè." The latter appeared in 1673, and a second edition in 1683. He had made preparations for further publica- tions; but, when his health broke down, he exacted from his brother, Lord Guildford, a solemn promise that all his MSS. should be destroyed; in com- pliance with which, all his critical notes, lectures, sermons, theological treatises, &c., with the excep- tion of one small note book, accidentally preserved, were burnt. He left £4000 (out of which one- fourth was to go to the poor) to his brother, Lord Guildford, besides his whole library, which, as he had early devoted his savings to the purchase of books, was not only a most numerous, but most valuable, collection. Wood says that he was "es- teemed a good Grecian," and Evelyn, writing in 1676, speaks of him, as "a very young, but learned and excellent person." besloot bad During his presidency, he was very anxious to secure the impartiality of the elections to fellow- ships, and succeeded in breaking through the habit of filling up the vacancies by Mandate.

[He was a native of Devonshire, and his father was a clergyman. He was entered a commoner of Wadham College, Oxford, 1651; admitted scholar, 1652, being then 17 years of age. B.A. 1654; M.A.1657; was chosen fellow of his college. He constantly attended the meetings for the ad- vancement of natural science, (which, as has before been stated, in the notice on Bishop Wilkins, were held in the apartments of his warden,) and was one of the earliest Fellows of the Royal Society. In 1667, he wrote a history of that institution, which, next to his Life of Cowley (see Elections, 1636 and 1640), published in 1668, is the most celebrated of his productions. In 1660, he was made preben- dary of Lincoln, but resigned that benefice in 1669. He owed much of his promotion to the influence of the Duke of Buckingham, to whom he was chap- lain, and whom he assisted in the composition of the Rehearsal. He accumulated the degrees of divinity, 1669; and was for some time minister of St. Mar- garet's, Westminster. In 1686, he became one of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, but withdrew from the commission in August, 1688, refusing to sanction the persecution of such of the clergy as had refused to read the king's declaration for liberty of con- science. He had himself read that declaration in the Abbey on the 20th of May, 1688, and Lord Dartmouth, then a Westminster boy, gives the fol- lowing account of the manner in which it was re- ceived:- "I was then at Westminster School, and heard it read in the Abbey. As soon as Bishop Sprat, who was dean, gave orders for reading it, there was so great a murmur and noise in the church E 2 28 Deans of Westminster. Deans of Christ Church. Masters of Trinity College.

The bishop could hardly hold the pro- clamation in his hands for trembling, and every- body looked under a strange consternation."-(Note of Lord Dartmouth to Burnet's Own Times.) Bishop Sprat drew up the form of prayer for the birth of the Prince of Wales in 1688. He had been much celebrated for his poetical talents in his youth; indeed Wood tells us that he went by the nick- name of "Pindaric Sprat," from a poem which he printed in 1659, on the Plague of Athens. He published another on the death of Oliver Cromwell. His later works were all in prose, and consist, besides those already mentioned, of "Observations on Monsieur Sobrier's Voyage into England," 1668; an Account of the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion in 1685; Letters on his withdrawal from the Ecclesiastical Commission; and other pieces, among them several sermons preached on various occasions. His preaching was much admired: Evelyn describes it thus,- "His talent was a great memory, never making use of notes, a readinesse of expression in a most pure and plain style of words, full of matter, easily delivered." Burnet admits him to have been "justly esteemed a great master of our lan- guage, and one of our correctest writers;" although he says that the great hopes entertained of his bright parts in youth were not realized in after life. He was appointed to his deanery, Sept. 21, 1683, and consecrated bishop, November 2, in the following year. In his time occurred, in 1694, the disastrous loss by fire of all the MSS. belonging to the library of the church, except one; they were the gift of Bishop Williams, and of some of them no copies are extant; in his time, also, Mr. Montagu (see Admissions, 1677) procured a grant from Par- liament of a part of the duty on coals for the repair of the Abbey. "It was a kind and generous thing in that noble person," says Mr. Widmore, "thus to remember the place of his education ;"- and, in 1706, a marble altar-piece was erected in the Abbey; it formerly belonged to the chapel at Whitehall, but had for some time lain. among the stores of the palace at Hampton Court, whence it was granted by Queen Anne to the chapter on their application. Bishop Sprat died at Bromley, May 20, 1713, having been Dean nearly thirty years. His remains were interred in St. Nicholas' Chapel, but his monument has been removed into the body of the church; it has a long inscription.

In the account of his death in the Chronological Diary for 1728, he is said to have been clerk of the closet to King William the Third. His liberality was especially shown in presenting, as a gift to Trinity College, a large sum of money due to him on his resignation of the mastership; for this benefaction the thanks of the college were given to him, and entered in the register in Dr. Bentley's own hand.-Cant.

Burnet calls him "One of the new converts, though he had neither the gravity, learning, nor the age that was suitable to such a dignity. But all," he adds, "was supplied by his early conversion." The only fact recorded of his presidency is his setting up, and furnishing, a chapel according to the forms of the Romish faith, in Canterbury Quadrangle. He fled beyond the seas after the landing of King William III., Nov. 30, 1688, and died at Paris, 1716, being confessor to the Convent of Blue Nuns, in that city, in the chapel of which he was interred.

[But little need be said here of one whose name is as notorious as that of Dr. Bentley; but some facts connected with his origin and academical life may be shortly stated. He was born, January 27, 1661-2, at Oulton, in the parish of Rothwell, near Wakefield; his father, Thomas Bentley, having a small estate there, and having married, in 1661, Sarah Willies, daughter of a stonemason at Oulton. From his mother Bentley learnt the Latin accidence: his first school was a small one at Methley, whence he was removed to the Gram- mar School at Wakefield. On the 24th of May, 1676, he was admitted a subsizar of St. John's College, Cambridge; in 1678, he was admitted to an exhibition usually given to students from Pocklington School, and, in 1679, to one of the Yorkshire Scholarships, founded by Sir Marmaduke Constable. His place in the examination for the degree of B.A.1680 is said to correspond with what would now be "Third Wrangler." A combina- tion of accidents hindered his getting a fellowship, to which his reputation for scholarship entitled him; but the college, though he was but just 20 years old, appointed him master of Spalding School, 1682 he remained there a year, and, on leaving it, became tutor to Dean Stillingfleet's son: he accompanied his pupil to Wadham College, Oxford, in 1689, and resided with him there for some time. He was ordained deacon, 1690, and made chap- lain to Dr. Stillingfleet, now become Bishop of Worcester. He had taken his M.A. degree at Cambridge, 1683; was admitted a member of Wadham College, and incorporated in that de- gree at Oxford, 1689. In 1692, being still only in deacon's orders, he was chosen the first Boyle Lecturer; and was again chosen for that office in 1711. 1711. Robert Freind³. George Tollet". 1694; in 1695, he was made rector of Hartlebury, which he held for three years, until his pupil was of sufficient standing to be presented to it; about this time, he was elected F.R.S. He took the degree of D.D. July, 1696, and preached the com- mencement sermon, at Cambridge. At the close of the year of his appointment as master of Trinity, he served the office of vice-chancellor. With the archdeaconry of Ely, Dr. Bentley suc- ceeded, as a matter of course, to the benefices of Haddenham and Wilberton, in Cambridgeshire. In 1712, he was deputy vice-chancellor of the Uni- versity in the place of Dr. Quadring. He received. the unanimous thanks of the Senate for his book published against the Freethinkers, under the name of "Phileleutherus Lipsiensis," January 4, 1715. It should not be omitted that, as master of Trinity, he entertained three sovereigns as his guests; Queen Anne in 1705, George I. in 1717, and George II. in 1728; and on the two latter occasions the double duty devolved on him, as Regius Professor, of creating the Doctors of Divinity. He declined the see of Bristol, which was offered to him in 1724. For an account of his numerous publications on the classics, by which he acquired an European re- putation, of his unpopularity in the University,- and his overbearing conduct to the fellows of his college, by which he provoked quarrels which were hardly extinguished during his mastership, and of the undaunted courage and profound scholarship which he displayed in his controversy, as to the genuineness of the Epistles of Phalaris, with the Christ-Church wits, aided, as they were, by Pope, and Swift, and Garth, the reader is referred to Bishop Monk's Life of Bentley, as the details of these subjects, though very much connected with many of the worthies of Westminster, are beyond the limits of this book. Dr. Bentley was buried in Trinity College Chapel, on the north side of the communion rails; his monument is a simple stone, with merely his name and date inscribed on it. A funeral oration was spoken over him by Mr. Philip (afterwards Bishop) Yonge (see Election, 1728). There is a -- print of him by Vertue, from the picture by Thorn- hill.

[Born in, or near, London, January 4, 1672; his father was possessed of estates (which the arch- bishop inherited) in Oxford, London, Bermondsey, and Kensington; Hugh Boulter was originally a commoner of Christ Church, Oxford, but elected from that college to a demyship of Magdalen, after- wards a fellow of Magdalen (see page 31, Wilcocks); M.A. of that College, 1693; B.D. 1705; and D.D. 1708. About the year 1700, he was invited to Lon- don by Sir Charles Hedges, Secretary of State, became his chaplain, and was afterwards chap- lain to Archbishop Tenison: this led to his intro- duction to Lord Sunderland, also Secretary of State, to whose patronage he owed his nomination to his first benefice, that of St. Olave, Southwark, of which parish he was rector, from Sept. 1708 until 1722. He held the archdeaconry of Surrey from 1715, until he was made Bishop of Bristol. In 1719, he accompanied George I. (as his chap- lain) to Hanover, and his preferment, whilst so employed, was the spontaneous act of the King. Dr. Boulter resigned the deanery of Christ Church on his promotion to the primacy of all Ireland. He was ten times one of the Lords Justices of that kingdom, which he quitted, June 2, 1742, and died on the 27th of Sept. in that year, after an illness of only two days, in his house in St. James's Place, London. He was interred in the Abbey, and a re- markable English epitaph is on his tomb there, which records, with truthful expressions, the piety, hu- mility, charity, and other virtues of a pastor of Christ's flock, which he is said so eminently to have possessed. His charity was particularly conspicuous during the winters of 1728 and 1740, when the population of Ireland, and especially of Dublin, was suffering from famine: on the first occasion he distributed corn at his own expense to the poor, and, on the latter occasion, when he is said not to have given so indiscriminately, 2,500 persons were daily fed at the workhouse in Dublin, almost wholly at the primate's own cost. One who knew him well has compared his munificence on these oc- casions to that of no less bright an example than the celebrated Carlo Boromeo, archbishop of Milan. In testimony of the sense entertained of these public services, a subscription was made for a full-length portrait of him, representing him in the act of distributing food to the needy, which was placed in the poor-house at Dublin. The House of Commons, too, voted him their thanks. He at first refused the primacy of Ireland, and was only prevailed upon to accept it by a command from the King. Besides the above-noticed acts of benevolence, archbishop Boulter left considerable sums to various charities, in the event of his wife dying without issue by him. He was a great encourager of public works in Ireland; augmented small livings, and educated the children of poor clergymen, and had no small share in the institution of the Pro- testant Schools in that country. At the council, at which he had so often sat, he performed his duties with dignity, and his opinions had a powerful in- fluence at the Board. Archbishop Boulter printed several charges to his clergy, and, after his death, his letters to some of the ministers of state in England, giving an account of the events in Ireland from 1724 to 1738, were published in two volumes, at Oxford, 1769-70. He was a liberal subscriber to the new build- ings erected on the north of the Great Quadrangle, at Magdalen, in 1733; and his picture is in the hall of that college, and in that of Christ Church; and his bust is in the library of Christ Church.— Catalogue of Oxf.

But, having overcome the scruples which deterred him from taking the oaths requisite for a degree, and for entering into Holy Orders, he obtained through Archbishop Sancroft the degree of M.A.; and was ordained both priest and deacon in 1690. Early in 1691, he was appointed minister of the church attached to St. Thomas's Hospital, Southwark. Soon after this he was chosen lecturer of St. Mary-le-bow, Cheapside, and appointed tutor to the grandsons of Archbishop Tillotson, serving at the same time his cure and lecture. On the 21st of November, 1693, he was made rector of St. Mary-le-Bow; in 1698, he was appointed Chaplain to King William, and was continued in that capacity to Queen Anne. When the Queen went to Cambridge, April 10, 1705, Bradford was created D.D.;-in 1716, he was nominated master of Corpus Christi College, a dignity he retained until his translation to the see of Rochester. In 1710, Dr. Bradford refused the bishopric of St. David's, offered to him on the condition of his vacating his other benefices. He was eventually raised to the see of Carlisle, with- out that condition, and was consecrated, Whit- Sunday, 1718. In June, 1723, he succeeded Bishop Atterbury in both his preferments. had opposed, and even spoken against, Atterbury; a circumstance which made him unpopular in the north. During his presidency at Westminster, in 1725, the Order of the Bath was revived, King Henry's Chapel assigned for the instalment of the Knights, and the Dean of Westminster nominated Dean of the Order. Bishop Bradford had con- siderable reputation as a preacher, and was a person of learning and affable manners and temper. He was interred in the north transept of the Abbey, and the long and elegant inscription on his tomb is said to contain a faithful description of his character. He He was the author of a vindication of himself, Bishop Smalridge, and Dean Aldrich, from the aspersions of Oldmixon, in 1730, and of several charges and single sermons. His Boyle lectures were printed in 1700, and he had a considerable share in the publication of Archbishop Tillotson's posthumous sermons. A complete catalogue of his tracts and sermons is given in Master's Hist. of Corpus Christi College. He preached the Boyle Lecture in 1699, and was afterwards one of the trustees of that benefaction.

Having been admitted to Holy Orders by Bishop Sprat, his first employment was that of chaplain to the Factory at Lisbon: there he be- came acquainted with Mr. Milner, the British Consul at that place, whose daughter he married. She was the mother of his only son, who will be noticed under Election 1740. At Lisbon, the future bishop gave a distin- guished proof of courageous piety in his constant attendance on the sick and dying in the Factory, during the prevalence there, to an extraordinary degree, of the small pox, a disease he had never had. When he came back from Portugal, Dr. Wilcocks received the appointments of chaplain to George I., and preceptor to the daughters of the Prince of Wales; and proceeded B. and D.D. 1709.

At West- minster, the western front was furnished with the towers and windows it now has, and repaired by his care; and the church and adjoining build- ings were otherwise adorned and improved. He was also a liberal contributor to the erection of the new buildings at Magdalen College in 1733; and his picture hangs in the hall of that society. It was he who first established the rule of monthly residence for the prebendaries at Westminster, and he is said to have taken great interest in the school during the time that he was Dean. His only published works were some single sermons preached on several occasions. A funeral oration, according to the then custom, was spoken over his remains in College Hall, after which he was interred in the Consistory Court in West- minster Abbey, where his son erected a monument to him, with a long account of his good deeds.- Cat. of Oxf.

SMITH, mathematical preceptor to William, Duke of Cumberland (son of King George II.); master of mechanics to his majesty [1731]; died, 1768 [at Cambridge], in his 79th year, on the 2nd of February. He was admitted master of Trinity, August 4, 1742, having been educated at that college, where he graduated B.A. 1711; M.A. 1715; LL.D. 1725; and proceeded D.D., by Royal Mandate, in 1739. He was chosen Plumian Professor at Cambridge on the death of Roger Cotes, who was his cousin, and whose contributions to the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society he collected, and published in 1722; he likewise published, in 1737, his cousin's Hydrostatical and Pneumatical Lec- tures. He was himself a Fellow of the Royal Society, and was the author also of a complete system of Optics, 1728; and, in 1760, of a work entitled "Harmonics, or the Philosophy of Musi- cal Sounds." He was a warm partisan of Dr. Bentley during his quarrels with the fellows. "Nevertheless,' says Bishop Monk, "he seems by his equitable and judicious conduct to have healed all wrongs, and conciliated all parties," after his accession to the chief rule in the college. Mr. Cumberland and Mr. Cole have given curious accounts of the recluse and abstemious habits of Dr. Smith, and of his mode of life with a maiden sister at the lodge. The former, after saying that he was "unques- tionably one of the most learned men of his time," gives this description of his person :-"Philosophy had marked him for her own; of a thin spare habit, a nose prominently aquiline, and an eye penetrating as that of the bird, the semblance of whose beak marked the character of the face: the tone of his voice was shrill and nasal, and his manner of speaking such as denoted forethought and deliberation." Cole that he was so tall and thin that "be- says fore he wore his cassock in his professor's gown his legs used to look like a pair of tongs;" he adds that "he was a very worthy honest man, and of great use to the college in augmenting their es- tates;" he also mentions two gifts of his to the college during his lifetime the painted glass window at the south end of the library, and a good statue of Sir Isaac Newton. By his will he left the interest of £2000 for the annual repairs of Trinity College; and £2500 to the University, a portion of the interest to be given to the Plumian Professorship; the remainder to form two prizes of £25 each to two commenc- ing Bachelors of Arts, the best proficients in mathe- matics and natural philosophy, who are called "Smith's Prizemen ;" a preference, cæteris paribus, is given to candidates of Trinity College. 33 Deans of Westminster.

[Born at Carlisle, Oct. 14, 1712; son of a father of the same names, who was for many years vicar of Brampton, Cumberland. The Grammar School at Carlisle was the place of his education, until he was removed to Queen's College, Oxford, November 23, 1730; he had not been long a commoner in the latter college, before he had a clerkship conferred on him by the Provost, Dr. Smith. When he had taken his bachelor's degree, he came up to London, and accepted the post of assistant at a classical academy in Soho Square; from this employment he was taken to be tutor to a younger son of Sir William Clayton, a cir- cumstance to which he owed most of his eventual success in life. In 1737, he was ordained, and in the beginning of 1738 was presented to the rectory of Blechingley, Surrey, where he discharged in a most exemplary manner the duties of a parish priest for the space of thirty-six years, and before he quitted it had much improved the parsonage house. He proceeded B.C.L. 1741, and put on his doctor's gown in that faculty, 1742. In 1743, he married Lady Blackwell, a widow, and the sister of his pupil, Mr. Clayton. Dr. Thomas was made chaplain to King George II. 1748, and was continued in that capacity by King George III. Prebendary of Westminster, 1754. In 1756, when Bishop Pearce's resignation of the see of Rochester and the deanery of West- minster was almost settled, it had also been de- termined to transfer Bishop Newton (see Election, 1723) to those benefices, and to promote Dr. Thomas to the see of Bristol. As it turned out, however, Dr. Pearce resigned the deanery only, and Dr. Thomas was appointed to it, 1768. He had, in 1762, been appointed sub-almoner; in 1765, he was made vicar of St. Bride's, London, and re- ceived a dispensation to hold that vicarage with Blechingley; the former he held till 1769, and the latter until he became Bishop of Rochester. Prolocutor to the Lower House of Convocation, 1769. In 1772, he lost his wife; and was nomi- nated Bishop of Rochester, on the death of his friend Dr. Pearce, the congé d'élire being issued October 1, 1774. He was married again in the following year to Lady Yates, widow of Sir Joseph Yates, one of the Judges of the King's Bench. This lady's son, by her first husband, was elected to Oxford, from Westminster School, in 1781. The bishop died on the 22nd of August, 1793, having almost completed his 81st year he was buried in the Abbey, and his nephew wrote the epitaph on his monument there. The same rela- tive published, in 1803, (for the benefit of the Philanthropic Society), two volumes of the bishop's sermons, with a biographical sketch prefixed, from which the facts in this notice have been chiefly taken. Of his conduct as dean, Bishop Newton says, "though he was not of the school, yet (he) has always been favourable and friendly towards it." He gave a substantial proof of this by a bequest of £1000 three per cent. stock to Christ Church, the interest to be divided annually among the scholars elected from Westminster; he left a similar be- quest to Queen's College, Oxford, for the benefit F 34 Deans of Westminster.

He left many other charitable legacies; and both at Westminster and Bromley, but especially the latter, laid out large sums of money in the embellishment of the residences attached to those benefices. Bishop Newton tells an amusing story of the confusion that sometimes took place between this divine and another of the same names, who had also a living in the city-was also chaplain to the king-also a good preacher, also squinted, and ultimately was also a bishop.-MSS.

BAGOT, bishop of Bristol, 1781; bishop of Norwich, 1783. [Lewis, the seventh son of Sir Walter Wagstaffe Bagot, was born, January 1, 1741; educated at Westminster, although not on the foundation; went to Oxford, and was appointed a canoneer student of Christ Church. In 1761, he wrote a copy of English verses, printed among the Oxford poems, on the death of King George II., and the accession of King George III. Having very delicate health, he was sent, in 1762, to reside at Lisbon, and when he returned thence was admitted to Holy Orders;-M.A. 1764; -made rector of Jevington, and also of Rye, Sussex, but resigned these livings in 1777. Canon of Christ Church, 1771;-proceeded D.C.L. 1772; -and was installed in this deanery, January 25, 1777. Dr. Bagot was consecrated bishop, February 23, 1782, and held this deanery in commendam with the see of Bristol, until his translation to Norwich. In March, 1790, the bishop was further trans- lated to St. Asaph; where he rebuilt the palace. A mild, amiable, and conscientious prelate, of simple manners, a warm heart, and a liberal soul, he was much and deservedly beloved in his dioceses. He was especially conscientious in the distribution of the patronage which fell to him, giving it in the most disinterested manner to the learned and eminent clergy of his diocese. An instance of this occurred at Lowestoffe, in the diocese of Norwich. Bishop Bagot died in London, June 4, 1802, but was buried at St. Asaph. His picture, by Hoppner, from which there is an admirable print, is in Christ Church Hall. Some further allusion to him will be made under the notice of his bro- ther (see Election, 1750). He published, in 1780, a volume of discourses preached in Lincoln's Inn Chapel, at the War- burton Lecture, and several single sermons and some other theological tracts. وو In 1781, he received the thanks of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge for having presented them with fifty copies of Dr. Barrow's treatise on the "Doctrine of the Sacraments,' which he had reprinted for distribution at a low price. This tract was adopted by the Society, and has ever since remained on their catalogues. The Society is also indebted to him for a treatise of his own on the Errors of the Anabaptists, which he had written for his parishioners at Jeving- ton, and which had been printed, with the bishop's permission, by the clergy at Reading, in 1776. His wife, a niece of Lord Kinnoul, was sister to Dr. Hay, elected to Christ Church in 1776.- Cat. of Oxf. Grad.; Hist. and Antiq. iii. 443; Appx. 330; Memoirs of the Bagot Family, 85; Nicholls' Lit.

John Horsley, was, during many years, Clerk in Orders at St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, of which parish his father, a conformist from the tenets of the dissenters, had been vicar. The bishop was born in the church-yard of St. Martin's, in October, 1733; was entered at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and proceeded LL.B., 1758. He began his active life as curate to his father at St. Mary's, Newing- ton, Surrey;-about the year 1768, he went to Christ Church, and resided there in the capacity of tutor to Lord Aylesford. He appears to have transferred his academical allegiance from Cam- bridge to Oxford. In 1770, he published his first mathematical work at the Clarendon Press, Apollonii Pergæi inclinationum libri duo." In November, 1773, he was chosen secretary to the Royal Society, of which he had been a fellow since 1767, and he continued five years in that office. In 1774, he was incorporated B.C.L. at Oxford, and, a few days afterwards, proceeded D.C.L.;-rector of Albury, Surrey, in the same year, which living he resigned in 1779. 66 Bishop Lowth became the patron of Horsley, -made him his chaplain in 1777,-gave him a prebendal stall at St. Paul's, and procured for him, upon his father's death, in 1771, the benefices of the Clerkship in Orders at St. Martin's, the rec- tory of Thorley, Herts, and the vicarage of St. Mary's, Newington; he exchanged, in 1782, the rectory of Thorley for the vicarage of South Weald, Essex, which he held, with the vicarage of St. Mary's, until 1793. By Bishop Lowth he was also collated to the archdeaconry of St. Alban's, which he held from 1781 till 1789; and by Lord Thur- low's influence he was made a prebendary of Gloucester, a preferment which he held until 1793. In 1788, Dr. Horsley was consecrated bishop of St. David's; and, in 1793, was translated to Rochester, and had this deanery conferred on him in commendam. He was further translated to St. [1802. J. Wingfield.] [1803. W. Carey.] [1802. W. Page 5.] Asaph, on the death of Bishop Bagot, June 6, 1802. Dr. Horsley's connection with the Royal Society did not cease when he resigned the office of secretary to that body; he remained an active member of it until 1784, and contributed to its transactions from the year 1767 till 1782; he was a member of the club in Essex Street, formed by Dr. Johnson. He was the author of many printed works, theological, mathematical, and philological: he published a new edition of Sir Isaac Newton's works, in five volumes, the first of which ap- peared in 1779; but the publications which gained him most celebrity were the tracts which he wrote against Priestley, they were collected together, and reprinted in 1793;-and his sermons, which were published by his son, whom we shall notice hereafter, under Election, 1795. The bishop died, October 4, 1806, aged 73, at Brighton he had gone thither to see his friend and patron Lord Thurlow, who had died before his arrival; was himself taken ill on the Wednesday, and died on the Saturday. He was buried in the family vault at St. Mary's, Newington. Out of gratitude for the attention to their interests shown by the bishop, the gentlemen of the choir of Westminster Abbey gratuitously attended the funeral. Cat. of Oxf. Grad.; Hist. and Antiq.

His birthplace was Ashburton, in Devonshire, and his birthday the 8th of September, 1761; he matriculated at Oxford as a Bible Clerk of Oriel College, 1780; after he had put on his bachelor's gown he ceased to reside, and did not put on his master's gown until 1810; and, in the autumn of that year, he accumulated the degrees in divinity. Soon after his ordination, he held a small curacy near Ashburton, which he left to travel as tutor to a son of Sir James Wright. Vicar of Croydon from 1793 until 1816;-pre- bendary of Westminster, 1802;-sub-dean, 1806; -and installed dean, February 9, 1816;-he suc- ceeded Dean Vincent also in the rectory of Islip, but he resigned it in 1835. He died at the deanery, Westminster, in his 81st year, September 1, 1842, and was buried in the Abbey. His intimacy with Mr. Gifford is well known, as well as the assistance he rendered to the latter in the editorship of the "Quarterly Review." His separate publications are, Five Discourses, containing certain arguments for and against reception of Christianity by the ancient Jews and Greeks, 1796;-Vindiciae Regiæ, a de- fence of the kingly office, in letters to Lord Stan- hope, 1797;-Claims of the Established Church considered, a sermon, 1807;-Paganism and Christianity compared, in the form of lectures, delivered to the King's Scholars in Westminster Abbey, 1809;-Letter to H. Brougham, Esq., 1819; -Nuptiæ Sacræ, addressed to both Houses of Par- liament, 1821. By his express desire, all his MSS. were destroyed. He vested £500 stock in trustees, the interest to be annually applied to the purchase of books, for prizes for a poetical composition in West- minster School. In 1825, he founded the scholarships at Oxford which bear his name; they are four in number, and £30 a year in value. [1819. E. Goodenough 5.] The bequests in his will were very numerous and munificent,-neither the city in which he had so long been dean, nor the university at which he was bred, nor the place of his nativity, was for- gotten by him ;-he left £5000 for a chapel in Westminster, £2000 to Westminster Hospital, the reversion of £1000 to the Westminster Dis- pensary, £2000 to Oriel College, £10,000 to the University of Oxford, to endow a Professorship of the Exegesis of the Holy Scripture; £1000 to the poor of Ashburton; £2000 for the purchase of a house for the master of the Grammar School at Ashburton. But these do not complete the list of his benefactions. In the Appendix will be given a list of those scholars who have gained Dean Ireland's prize since its institution in 1820. -Cat. Oxf.

In 1802, he was appointed chaplain to Dr. Sutton, then Bishop of Norwich, by whom he was presented to the rectory of Oby, Norfolk, 1804: he was also dean and rector of Bocking, Essex ;-he took the degree of D.D. by Royal Mandate, 1810. In 1816, Dr. Wordsworth was presented by Dr. Sutton, who had become Archbishop of Canter- bury, to the rectories of St. Mary's, Lambeth, and of Sundridge, Kent. He exchanged these pre- ferments for the rectory of Buxted, with Uckfield, in Sussex, in 1820. Soon after this he was made chaplain to the House of Commons, and was pro- moted to the mastership of Trinity, on the death of Bishop Mansel, 1820; he resigned this post in 1840, and retired to Buxted, where he died, February 2, 1846, at the age of 71.

He was also very zealous for the good of his parochial charges, and his libe- rality greatly increased the church accommodation for the poor of Buxted. It should not be omitted that he took a very active part in the foundation of the National Society in 1811. He published two volumes of sermons in 1814; -an Ecclesiastical Biography, in six volumes, in 1810; another edition of which appeared in 1818; Christian Institutes, a series of discourses and tracts systematically arranged; there was a second edition of this in four volumes, in 1842;-two treatises to prove that Charles the First wrote the ΕΙΚΩΝ ΒΑΣΙΛΙΚΗ, the first of which appeared in 1824, and the second in 1828;-and some other critical and theological pieces.-Cant.

STUDLEY, a noted poet, who was held in high estimation by his contempo- raries, and translated four of Seneca's Tragedies into English verse; he took the degree of B.A. in 1566, and went to Flan- ders, where he is said to have held a com- mand under Prince Maurice, and to have been killed at the siege of Breda in 1587. According to Cole, Studley vacated his Fellowship in 1573: and certainly he was still a Fellow in February, 1573, when he became bail for two Fellows of his College, accused of preaching unsound doctrine in the University. The following quaint panegyric on him and his works will not be misplaced here:- A great sorte more I reckon myght with Heiwood to compare, And this our author, one of them, to compte I will not spare. Whose paines is egall with the rest, in thys he hath begun, And lesser prayse deserveth not, than Heiwood's work hath done; Give therefore Studley part of prayse to recompense his payne, For egall labour evermore deserveth egall gayne.

He ap- pears to have died in possession of this liv- ing, although there is a query in Cole's MSS. as to his having removed to Trinity College, Dublin.

Overall who was sometime Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge; Dean of St. Paul's, and successively Bishop of Lichfield and Norwich. But this is clearly an error, for in Dr. Baker's History of St. John's College, given in Cole's MSS., it is said that Bishop Overall was born at Hadley, in Suffolk, in 1559, and there sent to school;- that he matriculated at St. John's College, Cambridge, in 1575;-became B.A. of Trin- ity College in 1581;-and, in the same year, a Fellow of the latter society. This account is corroborated by an extract from the ad- mission book of Trinity College, (which has been obligingly sent to the present editor by the Master of Trinity, at the request of the Rev. J. M. Heath,) which says, that John Overall was elected a Scholar of Trinity in 1578; a Minor Fellow in 1581; and a Major Fellow in 1582. All the other accounts of Bishop Overall agree in the fact that he was removed from Hadley school to St. John's College, whence he was chosen a Scholar of Trinity. There is no other John Overall in the admission book of Trinity College, nor in the lists of Scholars and Fellows in Cole's MSS., so that it may be doubted whether the name should be inserted here at all. It is found, however, in a list which be- longs to the Head Master, and which is believed to be the one called in the former edition of this work the Buttery Book.- Cole's MSS. xlv., and xlix. 273.] 6 [CHARLES RATCLIFFE (and not Adonijah, as the former edition gives the name) is the only Ratcliffe besides Jere- miah (see election 1566), given in the book in which the admissions of scholars, fellows, and college officers of Trinity College, are entered; and in that he is marked as a discipulus juratus," April 18, 1567, which is also the date of Jeremiah's admission. In Cole's MSS. he is said to have been admitted in 1563 into the College, from Westminster School, but not made Scholar till April 18, 1567, and to have taken his 66 Elected to Cambridge, A.D. 1564.

He was vicar of Shudy Camps in 1579; of Trumpington in 1580; and of Eversham in 1588; rector of Orwell in 1590;-was incorporated D.D. at Oxford in 1600; and assisted in translat- ing the Apocrypha for the present version of the Bible. There is a copy of verses by him in the "Academiæ Cantabrigiensis Lachrymæ," on the death of Sir Philip Sidney in 1587. He died in 1611, and was buried at Or- well, where his brother Edward (who was Physician to the Queen) inscribed some quaint Latin verses on his monument.- Cole's MSS. xviii. 15, 16, xlv. 286 and 254; Fasti Ox. i. 286.] 6 [E.

He was the eldest of four brothers, two of whom will be noticed under Elections 1570 and 1573. Another, named Edmund, does not occur in this book.

HAKLUYT, prebendary of West- minster, 1602; rector of Wetheringset [cum Blockford, Suffolk,] 1590; famous for his skill in the Naval History of England, and author of a Collection of Voyages and Dis- coveries; died, 1616. [Richard, the second of the brothers of this name, educated at Westminster, (see Elections 1567 and 1573), was born in, or near, London, about 1533. He took his B.A. degree in 1573, and having completed the degrees in Arts, resided for some time in the Middle Temple, but afterwards entered into Holy Orders. He applied himself to the study of geography and navigation, and was chosen, at an early age, to read lec- tures at Oxford on these subjects. In 1584, he went to Paris, as chaplain to Sir Edward Stafford's embassy; and, while there, translated the History of Florida from the French, having first, at his own expense, published it in the original. In 1585, and while he was still abroad, Hakluyt received a royal mandate for the next Stall that might fall vacant, and, in consequence, became a prebendary of Bristol in 1586. On his return to England in 1588, he continued his researches in naval science. In 1603, having, in the previous year, been ap- pointed prebendary of Westminster, he was appointed archdeacon of that church. Both at home and abroad, he was cele- brated as a good linguist, a faithful his- torian, and a most active promoter of com- mercial and naval skill. Robertson praises him as one" to whom England is more in- debted for its American possessions than any man of that age;" and, in corrobora- tion of this testimony, we find a river and a headland of the countries, for the dis- covery of which his labours had paved the way, still bearing his name. Besides his col- lection of "English Voyages, Navigations, Traffics, and Discoveries," in three parts, published in 1598, 1599, and 1600, he left some MSS. since printed in Purchas' Pil- grim, and some which are now in the Bod- leian Library at Oxford. Wood says of this collection of voyages, -"Which work being performed with great care and industry, cannot but be an honor to the realm of England," and he adds a reason which indicates considerable fore- thought, and which the present state of the new world makes it interesting to read,- "because possibly many ports and islands in America, that are base and barren, and Elected to Cambridge, A.D. 1570. Robert Gervas. John Hedge³. only bear a name for the present, may prove rich places in future times." According to Mr. Hallam, the best map of the six- teenth century is to be found in a few co- pies of the first edition of this publication of Hakluyt's. In the dedication of the first edition of his great work to Sir Francis Walsingham, Hakluyt has given an interesting account of the origin and growth of his love for naval science and maritime discovery. It displayed itself whilst he was still a Queen's Scholar in that "fruitfull nurserie," West- minster School, during his visits to his cousin, Richard Hakluyt, in the Middle Temple, where he delighted to pore over, and ask questions about, the maps and books of geographical science in his kins- man's chamber. His cousin encouraged his evident predilection for these studies; and he resolved, when elected to the uni- versity, to pursue this branch of learning with industry. It will be satisfactory to learn, from his own words, how steadily he adhered to his determination. "According to this my resolution, when, not long after, I was removed to Christ Church in Oxford, my exercises of duety first performed. I fell to my intended course, and by degrees read over whatso- ever printed or written discoveries and voyages I found extant either in Greeke, Latine, Italian, Spanish, Portugall, French or Englishe languages, and in my publike lectures was the first that produced and showed both the olde imperfectly com- posed, and the new lately reformed mappes, globes, spheares, and other instruments of this art for demonstration in the common schooles to the singular pleasure and gene- rall contentment of my auditory." Hakluyt died Nov. 23, 1616, at the age of 63, and was interred in Westminster Abbey. His son was elected to Cambridge, Election 1611.-Ath. Ox. Bliss. ii. 186-8; Willis's Cath.

He is said to be the "Mr. Rabbet" who was one of the translators of the present version of the Bible, being in that division which met at Westminster, and to which the translation of St. Paul's and the Canon- ical Epistles was entrusted; he was also B.D. and rector of St. Vedast's, Foster Lane, London, from 1603 till 1617, when it be- came vacant by his resignation. He is also, probably, the same Michael Rabbet who was rector of Streatham for 46 years, and died aged 78, on the 5th of February, 1630.-Manning's Hist. of Surrey, iii. 389, 395, and Appx. 160; Cole's MSS. xlv. 256 and 290; Collier's Church Hist. vii. 339; Dyer's Hist. of Camb. ii. 291; Newcourt's Rep.

[He gra- duated at Oxford as M.A. 1578;-as B.D. 1583, and as D.D.1585. Rector of Houghton, and of Abbott's Anne, Hants. He was selected to preach before Queen Elizabeth, at Christ Church, in 1592: James the First was a great admirer of his sermons, and, as he was very corpulent, paid him the following characteristic compliment: "Fat men are apt to make lean sermons, but yours are not lean, but larded with learning." The family from which he sprung had been long seated at Heton Hall in Lanca- shire his father was George Heton, Esq., of that place, and his mother was Joanna, a daughter of Sir Martin Bowes, Lord Mayor of London in 1545. One of the same family, Thomas Heton, was master of the mer- chants at Antwerp, and famous for his liberal entertainment of such of his coun- trymen as fled to that city from the perse- cution of Queen Mary. The Bishop's hospi- tality was long remembered in his diocese. But he is said to lie under the same charge as his predecessor Cox did (see page 3), of having impoverished his see by alienations. Wood, however, intimates that these accu- Elected to Cambridge, A.D. 1571. [Michael] Rabbet¹. [John] Carleton³. [Nicolas Jeffe]. LA sations arose from the Cambridge men, who disliked having an Oxford man at Ely. Strype's character of Heton is also a favorable one: he calls him "famous for his good preaching and great hospitality;" and adds that his mother had "from his birth dedicated him to God, and the reformed church." ,, He was only 36 years old when he was made Dean of Winchester, and was conse- crated to the office of bishop, February 3, 1566, when the see had been vacant since the death of Bishop Cox. 1600 He was a contributor to the Bodleian Library. Bishop Heton died at Milden. Hall in Suffolk, July 14, 1609. The Latin verses on the monument to his memory in Ely Cathedral were from the pen of his friend and chancellor, William Gager (see election 1574).

[He was eminent for his knowledge of civil law, in which he ac- cumulated the degrees in 1589; was made chancellor of Ely, and otherwise befriended by his schoolfellow, Bishop Heton (see Election 1571); he acted as Surrogate to the Vicar-General of Ely in 1601; became Delegate and Commissary to Archbishop Bancroft in that diocese, 1608; Custos of the Spiritualities on the vacancy in that See in 1609; and Vicar-General and Princi- pal to Andrewes, Bishop of Ely (see page 15), in 1613, 1616, and 1618. Almost every public occurrence, especi- ally the loss of the illustrious foundress of Westminster, was celebrated by his muse during his residence at Oxford. Gager was well acquainted with, and duly appreciated by, Sir Philip Sidney, and edited, and con- tributed to, the collection of poems written on the death of that accomplished gentle- man in 1587, to which also he prefixed a Latin epistle, or dedication, to the Earl of Leicester, then Chancellor of the University of Oxford. He was, however, chiefly noted for his dramatic compositions, and, Wood says, "reputed the best comedian of his time." The antiquarian biographer goes so far as to give a long list of those to whom he was superior, among whom he reckons "Will Shakspear"! His plays, according to the custom of the times, were frequently acted with great applause in Christ Church Hall, on the visit of illustrious persons to the university. university. Wood gives the titles of three of them,-"Rivales,"-which procured for him the personal thanks of the Polish prince, Albertus de Alasco, for whose entertain- ment it had been performed, in June, 1583, -"Ulysses redux, Tragoedia Nova," which was publicly represented before the Uni- versity in 1591, and printed in 1592 with a dedication to Lord Buckhurst; and "Melea- ger," acted before Lord Leicester, Chancellor of the University, and Sir Philip Sidney, in 1581. The last was also printed in 1592, and drew him into a controversy, in 1581, with a Dr. John Rainolds, on the morality of such representations. He was engaged in a more singular dispute with a Mr. Heale, of Exeter, for having maintained at a public Act at Oxford, in 1608, that husbands might law- fully, if not laudably, beat their wives. He ever bore the character of "a man of great gifts, of a good scholar, and of an honest person." The date of his death is unknown, but he was living at, or near, Ely in 1610.-Ath.

He officiated at the opening of the Bodleian Li- brary in 1602; was made prebendary of St. Paul's, 1609; he was also, for many years, subdean of Christ Church. Amongst other works, much esteemed in that age, he left a MS. History of the University of Oxford, published by Thomas Hearne, 1720; and also a separate account of Christ Church. He was a canon of Christ Church when king James visited that foundation in 1605, and contributed to the collection of verses made by the college on that occasion, and to almost all the collections published on different occasions by the University of Oxford. There is a monument to him in the Divinity Chapel at Christ Church, where he was interred. He was father-in-law to Bishop Corbet (see p. 67-8).

Notwith- standing the election of these two scholars according to the statute, and although the latter was provided with a letter of recom- mendation from Lord Burghley, the dean and chapter refused to admit them to studentships at the usual time. Ravis, therefore, addressed a "well penned Latin epistle" to his patron, Lord Burghley, dated in January; and Carow wrote also at the same time to that nobleman. They rested their claims upon the statute, and urged them, not only for their own sakes, but on account of the injury which would be done to the school, if their rights were not confirmed to them. Ravis states the question to be "Utrum illa West- monasterii Schola, tuâ semper bonitate mu- nita, pristino eoque legitimo emolumento spolietur, ac jamdiu rerum injuriâ, et temporum iniquitate vexata, aliquando per te tuamq: mansuetudinem recreetur." Carow says, "Quanta omnium illius Gym- nasii salus in te sita et allocata sit,-non mea solum, sed totius Westmonasterii, jam , res agitur;" and adds, that "the matter now in doubt was the pillar of that shop of elo- quence" (so he called the school), "and that, if that were broken and weakened, the whole house would inevitably fall and come flat to the ground." 66 Lord Burghley remonstrated with the chapter, who alleged, as the ground of their refusal, their want of room, as four had come to them, two with letters from the queen, and two others elected from West- minster on the last St. Peter's Day. They admitted the Westminster scholars to be towardly and good grammarians," but said that they could find others with those attainments who were also better logicians, and of older standing. It ended, however, in Carow and Ravis being admitted; and this struggle was probably beneficial to the interests of the school, as there does not appear any later attempt by Oxford to infringe this privilege. This account is abridged from Strype, Annals, II. i. 553-6.] 2 T.

He was rector of All Hallows, Barking, 1591-98; presented to the vicarage of Islip, and to the living of Wittenham Abbas, Berks, 1598. Dr. Ravis was chosen prolocutor of the Convocation, March 23, 1603; and conse- crated bishop, March 17, in the following year. During his vice-chancellorship were made the first proposals for establishing the Bod- leian Library. His removal to London was much re- gretted at Gloucester, where the embellish- ment of his episcopal palaces, his hospitality, and other benefactions, had made him much beloved. It is the remark of Fuller, that "as he was not very willing to go thither" (Glocester), "so (after his three years' abode there) those of Glocester were unwilling that he should go thence, who, in so short a time, had gained the good liking of all sorts." The same author says in another place, that Ravis "left the memory of a grave and good man behind him. Nor must it be forgotten, that, as he first had his learning in Westminster School, so he always continued, both by his counsel and countenance, a most especial encourager of the studies of all deserving scholars belong- ing to that foundation." As a translator of the Bible his name stands first on the list of the eight Oxford divines to whom was assigned the task of rendering into English the four Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, and the Apocalypse And, In the former edition of this work, the year assigned for Dr. Ravis' promotion to Christ Church was 1594, the date given by Wood both in his Athenæ and in the History and Antiquities of the University of Ox- ford. In substituting 1596 as the correct date, Mr. Willis has been followed. as a proof that the alteration is warranted, it should be observed, that Ravis' prede- cessor, Dr. James (see page 14), was not appointed to the deanery of Durham until 1596; and also that the memorial to the Lord Treasurer, dated April 11, 1595, in which the dean and chapter of Christ Church vindicated themselves from the complaints of the students that they were Elected to Cambridge, A.D. 1576.

These letters are given at length in Strype's Annals, vol. iv. pp. 318. 336-8. A monument was erected to his memory in St. Paul's Cathedral, where he was in- terred. His arms are in the eastern window of the Chapter House, and his picture was placed in the Hall at Christ Church.- Strype's Annals, iv. 552-4, Life of Whitgift, ii. 350, 492; Collier's Eccl.

He died in embarrassed circumstances in 1607. He wrote a poem called "Martis et Mer- curii contentio in obitum honorandi Viri, Pace Belloque clarissimi Philippi Sidnæi, which was printed in the Academiæ Cantabrigiensis Lachrymæ. In Dyer's History of Cambridge (vol. ii. 241-2), and also in Bridge's Northampton- shire (vol. ii.), the preferments ascribed as above are said to have been held by one John Palmer, who was a Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge, chaplain to Queen Elizabeth, and archdeacon and pre- bendary of Ely; but, in Cole's MS. list of the Fellows of Trinity, this person is marked as elected from Westminster; and opposite to his name is "Mr. Coll.

[This eminent prelate is said to have traced his descent from the Saxon kings in Devonshire. He was the son of Philip King, of Wormenhale, Bucks, one of the pages to King Henry the VIIIth, and nephew and heir to Robert King, the first bishop of Oxford. Besides the preferments noted above, he was rector of St. Anne and St. Agnes, London, 1580, and of St. Andrew's, Holborn, 1597; prebendary of St. Paul's, from 1599 till 1611; chaplain to the Lord- keeper Egerton; prebendary of Lincoln, 1610; but he resigned that stall in 1611. He was also domestic chaplain to Arch- bishop Piers (see page 11), by whom he was presented to the archdeaconry of Notting- ham, which he held until his appointment to the see of London. He proceeded D.D. in 1602. He was appointed dean of Christ Church in compliance with the prayer of an epistle addressed to King James I., by a Christ Church man, and signed by thirty-two stu- dents of that house. The epistle besought the King to confer this office upon so dis- tinguished a member of their society as Dr. John King, whom they further styled, "Clarissimum lumen Anglicanæ ecclesiæ.' He was installed in this dignity, August 5, 1605. On the 8th of September, 1611, he was consecrated bishop. King was the author of some lec- tures on Jonah, printed in 1594, and also of some sermons. He possessed a great talent for preaching. The funeral sermon which he preached on the death of Arch- bishop Piers, November 17, 1594, was printed with an Oxford edition of the lectures on Jonah, in 1599. Strype gives extracts from the sermons preached by Archdeacon King at York, on the plague, the severe storms, and unseasonable weather by which England was visited in 1593-94. King James com- monly called him the "king of preachers." He was appointed by the council to preach before the king, at the Charter House, on his entry into London; and was afterwards selected as one of the four preachers at the Hampton Court Conference. Fuller says that he was "full fraught with all episco- pal qualities:" and that he "showed, by his example, that a bishop might govern Elected to Cambridge, A.D. 1577. Thomas Dod¹. Anthony Maxey2.

Sir Edward Coke re- ported him to have been the best speaker in the Star Chamber in his time. As vice- chancellor of the university, he strenuously maintained the privileges of that body. 66 Bishop King died March 30, being Good Friday, and was buried in the choir of St. Paul's Cathedral, with the simple word Resurgam" on his gravestone. The report that he had died in the communion of the Romish Church was refuted by his son Henry (see Election 1608), in a sermon at Paul's Cross, and also by Bishop Godwin. He was a benefactor both to his own college and to the university. His portrait, by Cornelius Jansen, from which there are two engravings, is in Christ Church Hall. As dean of Christ Church, his verses stand at the head of the complimentary effusions, on the visit of King James to that college in 1605; and others of his composition are to be met with among most of the Oxford collec- tions of Poems during his time.-Ath.

As his mother had been left by her husband in very distressed circumstances, Lord Burghley requested Dean Goodman to place him on the foundation at Westminster School, which was done in 1573. The boy was thus put under the care of his father's friend, Dr. Edward Graunt, then head master of the school, who conceived a great affection for him, as may be seen by a pe- rusal of Graunt's dedication to the Queen of R. Ascham's Letters, from which an ex- tract is subjoined, as it shows that the alter- ation of the name from Roger, as it stood in the old edition, and in the Buttery Book, has been made on good grounds." Atque cum hisce patris epistolis suscipe quæso, Clementissima Princeps, in tuam tutelam, hunc Rogeri filium, Egidium Aschamum, pauperem quidem, et ab amicis inopem, ac benignâ liberalitate tuâ effice perpetuo tuum.

Sed in hanc me loquacitatem conjecit hic Ægidius Aschamus discipulus meus, tuus, spero, futurus, beneficiis tuis astrictior." This dedication bears date Feb. 17,1576. The preface to Mr. Elstob's edition of these letters in 1703 adds, on the au- thority of Strype, that Giles Ascham went to St. John's College, Cambridge, and was thence removed to a fellowship of Trinity, in consequence of the Queen's mandate and Lord Burghley's letters, and that he was 66 William Bramfield.

He took his Bachelor's degree in Arts in 1582. Nothing further seems known of him, except that he in- herited his father's talent for writing Latin.

[Dr. Parry, with some help from Dr. Davies, reviewed Dr. Morgan's translation, and corrected it by the original. This edi- tion was published in 1620. In the epistle of dedication to King James, Parry says it is so much altered, "adeo ut difficile dictu sit num vetus an nova Morgani an mea dicenda sit versio." This pious and learned man was ordained deacon in 1584, having the year before taken his B.A. degree; in 1586, he took that of M.A.; and, in 1593, that of B.D.: he proceeded D.D. in 1597.

He became vicar of Gresford, Denbighshire, and chan- cellor of Bangor, 1592, but resigned the latter office in 1594. He was consecrated bishop of St. Asaph, December 30, 1604. It is remarked by Wood that, of the four other persons admitted with Parry to the degree of B.D., all were bishops, except his fellow collegian from Westminster, John Dove. One of them, Dr. Godwin, the learned Bishop of Hereford, alludes to this in his character of Bishop Parry, "Cui eru- ditione, cæterisque episcopalibus virtutibus, utinam egomet tam illi essem æqualis, quam ille mihi ætate, studiorumque academi- corum tempore, locoque." Bishop Parry was the son and heir of John Parry, Esq., of Rythin, and was 19 years old when elected to Christ Church. Among other benefactions to Jesus College, Oxford, he left 6l. a year towards the maintenance of a poor scholar from Rythin; he died at Dyssart, in Flintshire, September 26, 1623, and was buried in his cathedral, but without any monument or inscription to his memory.-Ath.

ALABASTER, prebendary of St. Paul's; an eminent poet and Grecian; died, [about the beginning of April,] 1640. [William Alabaster or Alablaster;-Fuller says he was a prebendary of St. Paul's, but there is no stall assigned to him in Newcourt. He was noted for his know- ledge of Oriental languages, and of geo- graphy, as well as for his Latin poetry. Alabaster was nephew to Bishop Still (see pages 13-14); born at Hadley, Suffolk, and baptized there, February 28, 1567;- B.A. 1587-8;-M.A. of Cambridge, and in- corporated in that degree at Oxford, 1592; accompanied the Earl of Essex, as his chap- lain, in the expedition to Cadiz ;-became a Roman Catholic, and published "Seven Motives for his Conversion." This defence drew forth an answer from Rackster, (see the next election), from Dr. Bedell, afterwards Bishop of Kilmore, and from others. He soon returned to the Church of England; and flying from Rome,—as he asserted, from the wrath of the Jesuits,- was imprisoned at Amsterdam by the burgo- masters, on suspicion of a plot against Prince Maurice, in 1610, of which, however, he is believed to have been guiltless. He refused the living of Brettenham, Suffolk, offered him by the Lord Keeper Egerton, but succeeded Dean Overall as rector of Therfield, Herts; probably in 1614, when Dr. Overall was promoted to a bishoprick. He proceeded D.D. at Cambridge, 1614. His most celebrated works are, "Lexicon Pentaglotton," 1627;-"Roxana," a tragedy acted in the Hall at Trinity College, 1592, which, as he set forth in the preface, he was forced, by the appearance of a surreptitious and faulty edition, to publish in 1632;-it is entitled "Roxana, Tragoedia, a plagiarii unguibus vindicata, aucta et agnita ab I 58 Elected to Oxford, A.D. 1584*.

This piece was taken from an Italian one by Groto, and, according to Mr. Hallam, inferior to the original. It is, how- ever, highly spoken of by Dr. Johnson. He also published several theological works, with singular titles. His character is disparagingly men- tioned in Winwood (Mem. iii. 204. 211-12), but he was undoubtedly a man of great learning. Spenser thus celebrates him in his "Colin Clout's Come Home Again :"- Lines 400-15. "And there is Alabaster throughly taught In all this skill, though knowen yet to few, Yet were he knowne to Cynthia, as he ought, His Eliseis would be redde anew. Who lives that can match that heroick song, Which he hath of that mightie Princesse made? O dreaded Dread, do not thyself that wrong, To let thy fame lie so in hidden shade: But call it forth, O call him forth to thee, To end thy glorie which he hath begun: That, when he finisht hath as it should be, No braver Poeme can be under sun. Nor Po, nor Tybur's Swans so much renown'd, Nor all the brood of Greece so highly praised, Can match that muse when it with Bayes is crown'd, And to the pitch of her perfection raised." Alabaster's Eliseis was dedicated to Queen Elizabeth, and recited in Latin verse the events of her reign. The MS. of it is in the library of Emanuel College, Cambridge. He wrote a poem in Greek, inserted in the Cambridge collection, on the death of Sir P. Sidney, in 1587. "He was an excellent Hebrician, and well skilled in cabalistical learning; wit- ness his Clerum in Cambridge, when he commenced Doctor in Divinity, taking for his text the first words of the first book of Chronicles, Adam, Seth, Enos.

His grandfather was a Scotch gentleman who migrated from Annandale to Carlisle, and entered the ser- vice of Henry VIII. His father, who had undergone much persecution, and been de- prived of his estate in the reign of Queen Mary, on account of his religious opinions, died about a month before his son's birth; his widow not long afterwards married a mas- ter bricklayer, living in Hartshorne Lane, near Charing Cross, and sent Ben to a pri- vate school, then held in the church of St. Martin's in the Fields. A botron Under such unpromising circumstances did this great poet begin life. A kind friend, however, sent the boy to Westmin- Elected to Cambridge, A.D. 1587.

He soon abandoned an occupation so little suited to his habits and abilities, and joined, as a volunteer, the army which was fighting against the Spaniards in the Netherlands. His short campaign was marked by his slaying one of the enemy in single combat-an extra- ordinary feat, when it is remembered that he was then only 19 years old. Anthony à Wood says that Camden procured him the employment of attending a son of Sir W. Raleigh's in his adventures. Be this as it may, Ben, on his return to England, began his dramatic career, both as an actor and an author. His success was at first inter- rupted by his being thrown into prison for killing in a duel a man who had challenged him. It was whilst under the depression of spirits generated by this confinement that he yielded to the importunities of a priest of the Romish communion, and was admitted into that Church; but in twelve years he returned into the bosom of the Church of England. In his twenty-second year, he secured a footing on the stage, by the comedy of "Every Man in his Humour." Queen Eliza- beth honoured the representation of "Every Man out of his Humour" with her pre- sence; and, on King James's accession, Jonson received countenance from the court, and was employed to write the masques which were then in fashion. From James, too, he received a pension of 100 marks; and, in 1621, the reversionary grant of the Mastership of the Revels, which, however, he did not live to profit by. Charles the First made him a present of 4007., changed his pension from marks into pounds, and added a yearly tierce of Canary to it. He was also in the receipt of a pension from the city of London. In the summer of 1618, he set out upon his celebrated Visit to Scotland, and returned in May, 1619; at the end of that month he became the guest of Bishop Corbet at Christ Church (see Election, 1598), and remained for some months under his 61 Elected to Oxford, A.D. 1588.

[A native of Warwickshire, being the son of a minister in that county ;-M.A. 1595;-he was appointed one of the king's commissioners for the province of York; and was chaplain to Dr. William James, Bishop of Durham, (see page 14), who presented him to the stall in that Cathedral in 1609, and also to the parsonage of Bowden. In 1631, he was de- prived of his preferments, and suffered a long imprisonment in the King's Bench for having preached a very violent sermon against the bishop and the dean of Durham on the 27th of June, 1628; he had not preached in the cathedral for many years before this Puritanical outbreak, which was caused by the removal of the altar from the centre to the east end of the church. He petitioned Parliament on the 11th of November, 1640, complaining of the sentence passed upon himself, and ac- cusing the bishop, Dr. Cosin, of introduc- ing innovations in religion; but, notwith- standing the favourable reception which such a petition was sure to meet with at that time, the bishop, according to Fuller Hugh Holland', [F.] of (who had at first attacked the bishop, and defended Smart, in his Church History), fully cleared himself, "to the shame and amazement of his enemies." Smart, in 1645, obtained the sequestered living of Bishopstoke, and died, it is sup- posed, in 1652, at the age of 85. He published the sermon for which he was sentenced, under the title of "Vanitie and downefall of Superstitious Popish Cere- monies," and some other similar effusions on that subject. He also wrote several pieces of poetry of an ephemeral character a specimen of them will be found among the Oxford lamentations for the death of Sir H. Unton in 1596. There is a print of him, beneath which are the following lines, attributed to Arch- bishop Abbott:- "Peter preach down vain rights with flagrant heart; The guerdon shall be thine, tho' here thou Smart." وو He is represented to have been of a "froward, fierce, and unpeaceable spirit.'

HOLLAND, an eminent Latin poet; died, 1633. [He was born in Wales about 1593, the son of Robert Holland. His mother, the daughter of one Pain, of Den- bigh, had several other children, as he himself has recorded in these quaint lines, written when he was sixty-two. "Yet griefe is by the surer side my brother, The child of Payne, and Payne was eke my mother, Who children had, the arke had men as many; Of which, myself except, now breathes not any!" وو Hugh Holland became a Roman Catho- lic, travelled to Rome, from thence pro- ceeded to Jerusalem, and afterwards visited Constantinople, where Sir Thomas Glover, the English ambassador, imprisoned him for the abuse which, when at Rome, he had freely vented upon Queen Elizabeth. On his return home after his release, being dis- appointed in his hopes of preferment, he resided for some years at Oxford, for the advantage of the public library, and lodged in Balliol College. Fuller calls him "no bad English, but a most excellent Latin poet." He was introduced to James the First by the Duke of Buckingham, to whom, in 1624, he dedicated his "Cypress Garland for the sacred forehead of our late Sove- reign, King James." This piece contains an affectionate lamentation for the loss of his old master, W. Cambden. This was his only publication; but he left in MS., in which form they were presented to the king, verses describing the chief cities in Europe, the life of William Cambden, and a Chronicle of Queen Elizabeth's reign. "Be- lieve him," says Fuller, "older and wiser, not railing as formerly." Several sets of com- mendatory verses by him are to be met with: Dr. Bliss gives those which he prefixed to the first folio edition of Shakespeare's plays; and those are printed which he addressed to "his worthy friend, Ben Jonson, upon his Sejanus." He paid a similar compliment, in Latin Hendecasyllables, to Alabaster's "Roxana" (see Election, 1583): he styles Alabaster, "Clmo. College Semper-Amico." Holland was buried in Westminster Abbey, near the door of St. Bennet's Chapel, with- out any monument, although he had written an epitaph for one, in which he styles himself 66 Miserrimus peccator, musarum et amicitiarum cultor sanctissimus." He was descended from the Earls of Kent of his name. His chief patroness was the Lady Elizabeth Hatton, the celebrated beauty to whom Ben Jonson addressed the beautiful lines in his masque of the Gypsies, beginning,- "Mistress of a fairer table, Hath not history nor fable," &c. Fuller informs us that "he had a compe- tent estate in good Candle-rents in London." He has been confounded in the fifth edi- tion of Granger, and in Watt's Bibliotheca Britannica, with the author of the Heeroo- logia, from whom Wood (who gives the pa- rentage of both) clearly shows him distinct. -Ath.

We learn from his biographer, Lord Hardwicke, that "his education was the most complete which that age, or indeed any other, could have afforded to qualify a gentleman for the world and for business." After taking the degree of B.A. in 1595, he travelled into foreign parts, and having, on his return in 1600, put on his Master's gown, he was received as secretary into the family of Sir Thomas Parry, the British ambassador in France. In 1603, he held a similar employment in the household of Henry, Earl of Northumberland, and shortly afterwards was appointed gentleman usher about the court. He accompanied Lord Norris's embassy to Spain in 1605, but was recalled and imprisoned upon a suspicion of having been concerned in the Gunpowder Plot; he was, however, honorably acquit- ted. He was an active member of parlia- ment; stood forth boldly in defence of the Duke of Buckingham, and once narrowly escaped committal to the Tower for naming the word Excise. Some of his speeches are to be found in Rushworth, and some of his letters occur in Winwood's Memorials, in which, as early as 1605, he is spoken of as having distinguished himself in the House of Commons, and as being a person of rising fortunes. As secretary of state, he managed the department of foreign affairs, and strove to soften the differences between King Charles and his sister, the Queen of Bohemia. In 1627, he was deputed to carry the insignia of the Order of the Garter to Henry, Prince of Orange; and in 1637 he became one of the clerks of the council. The correspond- ence with him during his embassy in Hol- land, relating chiefly to the Synod of Dort, was published in 1757, with an historical preface by Lord Hardwicke. Sir Dudley Carleton was the last British ambassador to Holland who was admitted to be present, and to vote in the assembly of the States. He was incorporated M.A. of the Univer- sity of Cambridge in 1626, and was created D.C.L. at Oxford in 1636. There is a full- length picture of him by Cornelius Jansen in Christ Church Hall. وو The character given of him by Wood is that of "an exact statesman, just in his dealings," and one who understood several languages well; "as also the laws, condi- tions, and manners of most States of Eu- rope. Clarendon reports him to have been a person of enlarged views by "nature, constitution, and education;" and says that "he understood all that related to foreign employments, and the condition of other princes and nations very well; but was un- acquainted with the government, laws and customs of his own country, and the nature of the people. Clarendon adds that his peerage and appointment as Secretary of State "was the last piece of workmanship of the Duke of Buckingham." He lies interred in Westminster Abbey, with a monument of black and white marble over his grave.-Ath. Ox. ii. 519; Fasti Ox. 1.492; Hist. and Antiq.

He took the degree of B.D. 1607, and that of D.D. 1609. It is worthy of notice, that he 64 Elected to Oxford, A.D. 1593. William Lute¹. Richard Wickham 3. Elected to Oxford, A.D. 1594.

After taking his Master's degree, in 1599, he employed himself for some time in preaching in, and about, Oxford. 1629, he was chosen one of the delegates to revise the University Statutes, and in August, 1636, assisted in the reception of Charles the First at Oxford, giving a grand entertainment on the occasion at Cuddes- den. In Bishop Bancroft was an extraordinary benefactor both to the College, and to the See over which he presided. Before his time, the bishops of Oxford had no resi- dence, but he built a palace and chapel at Cuddesden, and, through the favour of Archbishop Laud, procured the annexation of that vicarage to the See; he moreover obtained from the crown a settlement of £100 from the forest of Shotover and Stowe. His character was severely attacked by the Puritans. Although he died in London, his remains were conveyed to Cuddesden, and there in- terred, February 12, 1640-1. His picture is in the Hall of Christ Church, and in that of University College, where his arms are likewise in the windows of the master's lodgings. He wrote a Latin poem on the visit of James the First to Christ Church in 1605, which was printed with the others on that occasion, in the "Musa Hospitalis," &c.- Ath.

SIMSON, rector of Eastling, Kent; a good critic in the learned languages, and an excellent historian; died, 1652. [His father, the Rev.

He proceeded D.D.; be- came rector of Pluckley, co. Kent, in 1628, and in that year obtained a stall at Lincoln Cathedral, whence it would seem that he was ejected during the rebellion. "Being antient," he resigned Pluckley to son-in-law in 1649, although it is not clear that the sequestrators had left him the uninterrupted enjoyment of the living up to that time.

He published some notes on the classics, and several works on divinity; but his most elaborate work was the "Chronicon Catho- licum ab exordio mundi ad annum A.C. LXXI.," the latter part of which was not printed until after his death; the whole work was published at Oxford in 1652, by his son-in-law, Ezrael Tongue, who dedi- cated it to the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge; a life of Simson "ex ipsius Autographo excerpta," by Thomas Jones, was printed with it. In 1729, a new edition was published at Leyden, by Peter Wesseling, with additional remarks by that eminent critic. Wesse- ling's edition was reprinted at Amsterdam in 1752. King James took objections to a sermon of Simson's, preached at Royston in 1616; the sermon was submitted to the two pro- fessors, who compelled him publicly to re- cant before the King the obnoxious doctrine. Fuller relates this anecdote, and adds, that Simson was a "very good scholar." Lloyd gives two sets of Latin verses in commenda- tion of him; one of them written by Robert Creswell (see Election, 1631), and prefixed to the "Chronicon."-Ath.

[Sir Humphrey Lynd was born in 1579, and sprang from a good family of his name in Dorsetshire; he took the degree of B.A. 1600, after which he left Oxford to enter upon a "fair estate," and became a justice. of the peace. His works, which attained to considerable reputation in their day, and were translated into several foreign languages, were all on religious subjects. His "Via tuta" and "Via devia" were published, the former with a dedication "To the religious and well-affected Gentrie of this Kingdome," in 1628, the latter addressed "To the inge- nuous and moderat Romanists of this Kingdome," in 1630. The "Via tuta" was replied to by a Jesuit in a book called "A Pair of Spectacles for Sir Humphrey Lynd," &c., 1631; this Sir Humphrey answered by "A Case for a Pair of Specta- cles," but, as some difficulty was made to the licensing of this rejoinder, it was pub- lished by Dr. Daniel Featly, with a defence of Lynd, in 1638. Some strictures pub- lished by Lynd on Priest Bertram's tract, "De corpore et sanguine Christi," were sent for approval, and highly recommended to Archbishop Usher (then Bishop of Meath) by Doctors Good and Featly, chaplains to the Archbishop of Canterbury, in a letter dated June 14, 1623, in which these divines call the knight the "worthy and learned gentleman, our neighbour," and conclude their introduction of him in these words, "The well-deserving Defender of the cause of Religion, to whom in other respects the Church and cause oweth much. For at this instant, upon our motion, he hath undertaken the charge of printing the particular passages of many late writers castrated by the Romish knife. The col- lections are made by Dr. James, and are now to be sent unto us for preparation for the press. We shall begin with Polydore Virg., Stella, Mariana, and Ferus." He was a person of great knowledge and integrity, and on his death-bed avowed his adherence to the Church of England.

[He took his Master's degree in 1605, in which year he contributed to the Collection of Poems already so often al- luded to, as published by Christ Church, on the visit of King James. On leaving col- lege he was appointed secretary to Charles, Earl of Nottingham, who was the prede- cessor of the Duke of Buckingham in the office of lord high admiral. By adhering to the royal cause, he lost all his offices, and was plundered of his estates in 1642; in addition to which, his fine library, and valuable collection of MSS., were either de- stroyed, or sold to relieve his necessity. He retired to Antwerp in 1649, whence, in 1652, he removed to Breda, and, dying there, was buried in the great church.

He obtained the rectory of St. Matthew's, Friday Street, London. This Francis James was near of kin to Edward James (see Election, 1587), al- though he is designated in the Matricula- tion Register "Vectæ Insulæ, generosi filius. æt. 17."

In 1612, being then proctor, he pro- nounced, by desire of the University, the funeral orations on Prince Henry, and on Sir Thomas Bodley. He was vicar of Cas- sington, Oxon: vicar of Stewkley, Berks, 1620, which benefice he held for fifteen years;-prebendary of Salisbury;-chaplain to James the First, being selected for that office on account of the quaintness of his preaching, and the brightness of his fancy.

[Thomas Harlowe, not elected.] Bishop Corbet not only subscribed libe- rally in his own name to the repairs of St. Paul's Cathedral, in 1634, but also gave to many poor clergymen the means of doing the same. Godwin calls him "elegantis vir ingenii,' and Fuller "a high wit and most excellent poet; of a courteous carriage, and no de- structive nature to any who offended him, counting himself plentifully repaid with a jest upon him." His abilities and agree- able manners caused his society to be sought by all the scholars and great men of his day; his intimacy with Ben Jonson has already been alluded to (see page 60); it may be added here that Jonson wrote an epitaph for "Master Vincent Corbet," the bishop's father. Although in other respects a very good bishop, still his habits of conviviality were such as would not now be thought consist- ent with a seat on the bench; and many singular, and not very episcopal, anecdotes are related of his jollity and practical jokes. Wood says those who knew him well often declared, "that he loved, to the last, Boyes- play very well." His works were collected in one volume after his death; they were chiefly youth- ful compositions, and not intended for the press. A fourth edition of them, with a biographical notice, was published by Octavius Gilchrist, F.S.A., in 1807. He died, July 20, 1635, and was buried in Nor- wich Cathedral, where there is the follow- ing inscription on his tomb :- "Ricardus Corbet, Theologiæ Doctor, Ecclesiæ Cathedralis Christi Oxoniensis Primum Alumnus, deinde Decanus, exinde Episcopus, illinc huc translatus, et Hinc in cœlum Jul. 28, An. 1635." His picture, by Cornelius Jansen, is in Christ Church Hall. He had married a daughter of Dr. L. Hutten (Election, 1574), by whom he had a son, VINCENT CORBET, who was educated at Westminster, but turned out ill: he was born November 10, 1627. Aubrey says, "he went to school at Westminster with Ned Bagshawe" (see Elec- tion, 1646): "a very handsome youth, but he is run out of all, and goes begging up and downe to gentlemen."-Ath.

GUNTER, astronomy professor of Gresham College [March 19], 1619; author of several mathematical treatises, and in- ventor of the sector, &c.; died, 1626. [He was descended from an ancient family living at Gunterstown, Brecknockshire, but born in the county of Herts in 1581. His genius for, and devotion to, the science of mathe- matics won for him the patronage of the Earl of Bridgewater. He took the degree of B.A. 1603, and of M.A. 1606. In the latter year, he described the use of his new projection of the sector, in a Latin treatise; in 1614, he entered into Holy Orders;- proceeded B.D.;-and was presented by the king to the rectory of St. George's, South- wark, in 1615. His numerous works, and the importance of his scientific discoveries, speedily showed how well he was qualified for the professorship which he held in Gresham College. One of his discoveries, which he made in 1622, deserves mention, viz., that of a variation in the magnetic needle on the mariner's compass. By desire of Prince Charles, he drew the lines on the dials in Whitehall Gardens, and published a treatise descriptive of them in 1624. A specimen of his Latin poetry occurs in the "Epithalamia," published at Oxford on the marriage of Princess Eliza- beth, in 1613. He died at Gresham College, in his 45th year, on the 10th December, 1626, and was buried in the parish of St. Peter the Poor. A fifth edition of his works appeared in 1674.-Ath.

[Bishop Goodman was born at Ruthin, in Denbighshire; his parents were wealthy; but he was the youngest son of the youngest son of Edward Goodman, who 69 Elected to Oxford, A.D. 1600. Thomas Benson¹. John Webbe 2. purchased the whole estate of Sir Thomas Exmew, Lord Mayor of London. Godfrey was sent to Westminster School, to be under the protection of his uncle, then dean of that cathedral (see page 7): and was, first a chorister, and then, a scholar, of St. Peter's: although he is marked in one of Cole's lists as a Fellow of Trinity, there is a discrepancy of date which seems to show that he was only a scholar. He took his first degree in Arts in 1604, and be- came rector of Stapleford Abbot's, Essex, in 1606, a cure which he held until 1620; and was afterwards rector of Kemerton, Gloucestershire, and of West Isley, Berks. In 1615, he was incorporated in the degree of B.D. at Oxford. He acquired much ce- lebrity at court by his preaching; but one of his sermons before the King, in 1626, from its tendency to Romanism, attracted the notice of the Court and Parliament; he was, however, nominated to the See of Here- ford, an advancement which he declined on conscientious grounds. On the 6th of March, 1624, he was con- secrated Bishop of Gloucester. The Con- vocation of April 14, 1640,-famous for having continued its session, notwithstand- ing the dissolution of the Parliament,—was the cause of much trouble to him; for he was suspended by Archbishop Laud for refusing to sign the new canons, as therein settled, and committed to the Gate House by the King, until his submission; and he was afterwards impeached, committed to the Tower, and fined 20007. by the House of Commons, for his share in framing the same canons. In December, 1641, he and eleven other bishops withdrew from the House of Lords, because their lives were in danger from the attacks of the populace, signing a protest (drawn up by Archbishop Williams, in whom the whole proceeding originated, see page 18,) against the legality of any proceedings during their compulsory absence. Upon this they were again im- peached, committed to the Tower, and only released on bail in the May following. In addition to this, he was plundered of much property, and ejected from his canonry, as well as from his bishoprick, and lived pri- vately in Westminster during the rebellion. This prelate was the author of several works on religious subjects; also of an ac- count of his own sufferings, written in 1650, and of a MS. in the Bodleian, called "The Elected to Cambridge, A.D. 1600. Francis Shiers. John Rogers. Court of King James, by Sir Anthony Wel- don, reviewed." A letter of his is given in the correspondence of Archbishop Usher; it appears to refer to his change of religion; for he became a Roman Catholic, being the only instance since the Reformation in which one of the English hierarchy returned to the errors of that Church, to which, in his will, he avowed his firm adherence. Bishop Goodman left most of his property to chari- table purposes. Among his bequests is that of his library, to Trinity College, Cambridge, on the dissolution of Chelsea College, for which he originally intended it. He is de- scribed as a "harmless person, hurtful to none but himself, pitiful to the poor," and "no contemptible historian." He died at 80 years of age, and was buried in St. Margaret's Church, Westminster, near the font, although without any memorial.- Cole's MSS., xlv. 232. 258. 311; Ath.

He lies buried at Sunningwell. Dean Fell was born in 1594, in the pa- rish of St. Clement Danes, London. His only publications were two orations deli- vered at Christ Church, and printed in 1627.

He was one of the commissioners who treated for peace at Uxbridge in 1645; and, on the 23rd of October, he received the great seal from the King, with the title of lord keeper, on the death of Sir Edward Littleton. The year after, when the king withdrew from Oxford, he appointed Sir Richard Lane the head of a council for conducting the defence of Oxford,—a task which, however apparently alien from his occupations, he discharged with courage and ability, and only surrendered the gar- rison at the command of the king. He is said to have followed the young prince into exile, and to have died in France some time before August 1650. In the administration granted to his wife, the Lady Margaret Lane, he is styled "late of Kingsthorpe, Northamptonshire." Some Reports of his, in the Court of Exche- quer, were published in 1657. The Richard Lane elected off from West- minster is identified in the list of scholars of Trinity College, given in Cole's MSS., with the lord keeper of the great seal, by having the words "Cust. Mag. sigill." marked opposite to his name. Lord Camp- bell, in his Lives of the Chancellors, de- scribes him as a man of "spotless integrity and uniform adherence to his principles."

He was so beloved by his parishioners that, during his last illness, they ploughed and sowed his glebe at their own expense, in order that his widow might have the benefit of the crops. It is stated in Wotton's Baronetage that Gloucester was the See to which he was to have been promoted, but Gloucester was held, as we have already seen under Elec- tion 1599,-by Dr. Godfrey Goodman, from 1624 until 1655. It is most likely that he was to have been Bishop of Bangor, to which see his relative, Dr. David Dolben, was consecrated, March 4, 1631. The living of Benefield, vacant by Dr. W. Dolben's death, was filled up February 9, 1631. There is a Latin poem of his on the visit of the King and Queen to Christ Church in 1605. Dr. Dolben was the son of John Dalbin, of Haverford West, Pembrokeshire, and Alice, sister of Sir Thomas Myddleton, of Chirk Castle; his father belonged to one of the numerous branches of the ancient family of this name in Derbyshire.

Verses of his appeared in most of the collections of congratulatory odes made by the university in his time; and he published many sermons,-the first one on the death of the son and heir of his patron, Lord Stanhope, and two charges to the clergy; one, called "Ramus Olivæ,' în 1653, dedicated to Oliver Cromwell; the other, entitled "Solomon in Solio, Christus in Ecclesiâ," in May, 1660.

He was a quaint preacher, and a severe student. Archbishop Williams (see page 18) describes him as "the best read in the Fathers of any he ever knew." He subscribed to the rebuilding of Christ Church at the restoration, and presented some books to the library of Pembroke College. He gave, during his lifetime, a large sum, and left, at his death, a still larger sum, to the city of Oxford, and bequeathed the surplus of his property to Dr. Sebastian Smith (see Election, 1622), and Richard Croke, recorder of Oxford.

[Bishop Duppa was the son of the rector of Lewisham, in Kent, and born there March 10, 1588. He was eminent even at school for his superior acquirements, particularly in Hebrew, in which his instruc- tor was Dr. Andrewes, then dean of West- minster; in proof of his attainments at Westminster, Bishop King tells us "he had the greatest dignity the school could afford put upon him, to be the PADONOMUS at Christmas, Lord of his Fellow Scholars." Duppa became B.A. 1609, and, after his removal to All Souls, took his M.A. degree 1614, and served the office of Proctor to the University, 1619. After taking holy orders, he passed some time abroad, chiefly in France and Spain. The Earl of Dorset made him his chaplain; and, when he took his degrees in divinity in 1625, he was also chaplain to the Prince Palatine. He held the chan- cellorship of Salisbury from June 19, 1634, until July 20, 1638, and was consecrated Bishop of Chichester, July 17, 1638. He was presented to the rectory of Petworth, Sussex, July 19, 1638, and held it in com- mendam with the bishoprick of Chichester until 1641; but resigned his deanery on his elevation to the bench. Charles the First specially committed to him, or to whomsoever he should name, the educa- tion of his sons as to religion, and in- trusted him with the nominations to vacant Sees. He attended that monarch during all his troubles, and, at his death, retired to Richmond, in Surrey, where, in 1661, he founded an almshouse, in fulfil- ment of a vow made during the king's exile, as the inscription over it indicates. Charles the Second visited Dr. Duppa in his last sickness, and the King received, on his knees, the blessing he had asked of the dying prelate. He was, as well during his lifetime as at his death, a munificent benefactor to the Cathedral and Society at Christ Church, and behaved with similar liberality towards Elected to Cambridge, A.D. 1605.

Dr. King, Bishop of Chichester (Election, 1608), preached his funeral sermon. He was of an irreproach- able life, and beloved for his good temper and extensive charities. Bishop King de- scribes his person as comely and graceful, his disposition as liberal and sincere, his parts as excellent. Bishop Duppa published some sermons and other works of piety, and also, when Bishop of Chichester, his "Jonsonius Virbius," a collection of poems on Ben Jonson's death, by thirty different hands; he wrote several congratulatory poems, printed on different occasions by the university. His picture, by Vandyck, is in the Hall at Christ Church, and his bust in the Library at All Souls; there is another portrait of him in the Palace at Salisbury.-Ath.

He was a very learned man, a staunch defender of the Church of England, and the author of several sermons, some tracts against the Presby- terians, and other religious treatises. To his "Exposition of the Church Catechism' he annexed some forms of prayer, and among them occurs a singular one for Charles the Second and Queen Catherine, which implores for them a long list of good qualities and prosperous circum- stances, illustrated by examples drawn from the piety and felicity of the holy men and women mentioned in the Bible. He also wrote one of the poems in the Collections made on King James's visit to Christ Church in 1605, and one of those on the marriage of the Princess Elizabeth in 1613.-Ath.

On the 20th of February, 1633-4, he was appointed Master of St. John's College, by the King, to whose decision the Fellows of that college had referred the case of a disputed election; in that year, also, he filled the office of vice-chancellor of the university. In 1637, Dr. Beale was presented by the King to the rectory of Paulerspury, North- amptonshire; and he also held the rectory of Cottingham in the same county, and that of Aberdarron, a sinecure; to this latter he was presented in 1639. In 1641, he entertained the King at Cam- bridge; and was afterwards very active in collecting plate to supply the deficiencies in the royal treasury. Accordingly, few suffered more than he for the royal cause. He was deprived of all his preferments; and, with certain other Heads of Houses at Cambridge, sent to London. They were imprisoned for nearly three years; and once, during that time, their oppressors put them on board ship,with the intention of sending them off to America. When released, he joined the King at Oxford, became his chaplain, and a frequent preacher before the court. He proceeded D.D. at Cambridge, 1627, and was incorporated in that degree at Oxford in 1645; he was Elected to Cambridge, A.D. 1606. Thomas Fitz-Randolph, F. John Boyer³.

He died at Madrid in 1650, and his body was consumed by quicklime to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Inquisition. Mr. Baker says that Dr. Beale had a brother master of Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, which may account for Wood's calling him "some- time of Pembroke Hall." He embellished the chapel at St. John's College, and left some MSS. and other books to the library.

He was the offspring of his father's second marriage, and succeeded to his father's property, in consequence of the death with- out issue of his three brothers by the half blood, the two eldest of whom were killed at the siege of Deventer, in Holland. Dr. Meetkerke's son acquired by marriage the estate of Julians, in Hertfordshire, which is still possessed by his descendants. There are some poems by E.

He was a great sufferer in the Rebellion; died, 1670, aged 79. [He was descended from an ancient family in Scotland, and born in the Strand, London, September 1, 1592: his father, Andrew Hacket, of Putferin, N. B., was senior burgess of Westminster, and attached to the household of Henry, Prince of Wales. Hacket Young Hacket was sent to Westminster School at a very early age, where, as we are told by Wood, "his master, Mr. Ireland, finding in him a great propensity to learn- ing, was very kind to him:" whilst at school, he, among many others, was much indebted to the careful tuition of Bishop Andrewes, then dean of that collegiate church (see page 15); an obligation which he has gratefully acknowledged in his life of Archbishop Williams. When the time came for his election to one of the univer- sities, Dr. Neville, then the Master of Trinity, was so pleased with the youth's proficiency, that he assured his father that he would take him to Cambridge, if "he carried him thither on his back;" at Cambridge, he had for his tutor Dr. Edward Simson, of whose attainments mention has already been made under Election 1596. Hacket was soon remarkable for his diligence, learning, and sober life, and became a noted tutor in his college. Having taken the degree of M.A. at Cambridge, he was incorporated in that degree at Oxford in 1616;-entered into holy orders, 1618;- and held the vicarage of Trumpington with his fellowship; he became also rector of Stoke Hammond, Bucks, and, in 1621, was rector of Kirkby-under-Wood, co. Lincoln, and chaplain to Bishop Williams, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal ;-and in 1623, a prebendary of Lincoln. In 1624, King James presented him to the rectory of St. Andrew's, Holborn, and to that of Cheam, Surrey. He proceeded D.D. in 1628;-was appointed one of the sub-Committee of Divines for inquiring into the Liturgy, in 1641; in the same year, he ably, and, for the time, successfully, pleaded before Par- liament in behalf of the deans and chapters, whom the Puritans sought Elected to Cambridge, A.D. 1608.

He was to strip of their endowments. made a prebendary of St. Paul's, 1642, but was soon deprived of that preferment, of his living in London, as well as of the archdeaconry of Bedford, and probably also of his stall in Lincoln Cathedral, be- sides being robbed of a large sum of money, which he had collected for the repair of St. Andrew's Church. He retired to Cheam, was again seized, and for some time kept prisoner by the Earl of Essex. After his release, he lived in retirement at Cheam, until 1660, when he was restored to his other benefices. He refused the see of Gloucester in 1660; but was consecrated Bishop of Lichfield, December 22, 1661, on the refusal of the see by Baxter. He was pious, learned, and eloquent, and endowed with a "prodigious memory." He had the Burial Service of the Church of England by heart, and once, at the funeral of a Dis- senter, delivered it with so much feeling and emphasis, as to cause the friends of the deceased to exclaim at the beauty and pro- priety of what they supposed to be an ex- tempore composition. Bishop Hacket erected the buildings called the Bishop's Hostel at Trinity Col- lege, and left money to Clare Hall and to St. John's College, Cambridge, and his library to the University. His own libe- rality, and his exertions in exciting that of others, accomplished the restoration-it might almost be called the rebuilding-of Lichfield Cathedral: the sum collected amounted to 20,000l. He again dedicated the building to the service of God, with much solemnity, on Christmas Eve, 1669, after which he feasted all classes of people for three days. He wrote a copy of Latin verses on the death of Anne, Queen of James I., in 1619, -they are printed with the other verses from Cambridge University. His Latin comedy, "Loyola," was published, with others not by him, in 1648. It had been twice acted before King James at Cambridge, and so irritated the Jesuits, against whom it was written, that it was not considered safe for him to accompany an embassy into Ger- many, to which he had been appointed chaplain. After his death, there appeared, of his writing, a life of Archbishop Williams, and also, in 1675, a "Century of Sermons," prefixed to which is his life, by Dr. Plume, 77 and an engraving of him by Faithorne ;- over the head is his motto, "Serve God, and be chearfull," and under it are the following lines:- "His face this Icon shows, his pious wit These sermons: would you know him further yet, Yourself must die, for, reader, you must looke In heav'n, for what's not of him in this Booke." This worthy prelate died at Lichfield, October 28, 1670, and was buried in the Cathedral, where a noble monument was erected to him by his son, Sir Andrew Hacket (see Election, 1648).-Ath.

KING, [eldest] son to John, Bishop of London (see Election, 1576), chaplain to King James I.; canon residentiary of St. Paul's [1615]; archdeacon of Colchester [1617]; canon of Christ Church [1623-41]; dean of Rochester, 1638; bishop of Chi- chester, 1641; died, 1679. [He was born at Wornal, Bucks, January, 1591, in the very room in which his father had been born. His mother was Joan, daughter of Henry Freeman, Esq., of Staffordshire. He was sent for the rudiments of his education to the Free School at Thame, Oxon. He graduated as B.A. 1611; as M.A. 1614; and accumulated the degrees of B. and D.D. 1625. In addition to the benefices already enu- merated, Dr. King was rector of Petworth, Sussex, in 1641 ;-rector of Fulham, sine curâ,-which latter rectory he resigned when he became a bishop,-and chaplain to King Charles I. He was consecrated bishop of Chichester, February 7, 1641. Although promoted, to please the Puritans, he was shamefully treated by them; and, having been ejected from his living, as well as from his see, he resided with, and was chiefly maintained by, Sir Richard Hobart, of Langley, Bucks, who had married his sister. He was reinstated at the Restora- tion in the preferments which had been taken from him. Besides many sermons and other theolo- gical compositions, Bishop Henry King wrote "A deep groan fetched at the funerall of the incomparable and glorious monarch, Charles I." in 1649. "In his younger days he delighted much in the studies of music and poetry." He composed several anthems, and, in 1651, published a translation of the Psalms, adapted to singing in churches. It had been "his exercise and employment in his retirement," as he himself tells Archbishop Usher, in a letter letter dated from Langley, October 30, 1651. The same letter describes the occasion which suggested this publication in language with which there are few persons who have not often sympathized. "The truth is, one Sunday at Church, hearing a Psalm sung, whose wretched expression quite marred the Pen-man's matter, and my devotion, I did, at my return that evening, try, whether from the version of our Bible I could not easily and with plainness, suit- ing the lowest understandings, deliver it from that garb, which indeed made it ridi- culous. From one to another I passed on, until the whole book was ran through. Which done, I could not resist the advice and importunity of better judgments than my own to put it to the press." This trans- lation reached a third edition in 1671. King preached the funeral sermon on Bishop Duppa (see Election, 1605), in Westminster Abbey, April 24, 1662, to the "great content of the auditory." He also contributed a poem to Bishop Duppa's com- pilation in honour of Ben Jonson; and was the author of a volume of "Poems, Elegies, Paradoxes, and Sonnets;" this latter work appeared in 1657, and is now very scarce these compositions are said to possess "neatness, elegance, and tender- ness. وو He was the friend and executor of Dean Donne. His wit and fancy made his con- versation much sought for, and his preach- ing was exceedingly admired, even in his younger days. He had a great reputation, and was very generally esteemed. 59 Bishop King died on the 1st of October, and was buried on the south side of the choir in Chichester Cathedral, where his son's widow "had a comely monument put over his grave and that of her husband, Major John King, with an inscription thereon.' She was the daughter of Sir William Russell, of Strensham, Worcestershire, and married, for her second husband, Sir Thomas Millington, M.D., who possibly was the physician of that name noticed under Election, 1645. King gave some painted glass-which was sacrilegiously destroyed in 1648-to the Cathedral at Christ Church. His portrait is in the hall of that college.-Ath.

[This divine, so celebrated for his piety and his writings, was the fifth son of Richard Herbert, Esq., and brother to Edward, Lord Herbert of Cherbury. He was born at Montgomery Castle, April 3, 1593. Brought up with care by a prudent mother, he was, to quote from Isaac Walton's account of his life, "not long after the age of 12 years, commended to the care of Dr. Neale, who was then Dean of West- minster, and by him to the care of Mr. Ireland, who was then chief master of that school, where the beauties of his pretty behaviour and wit shined, and became so eminent and lovely in this his innocent age, that he seemed to be marked out for piety, and to become the care of Heaven, and thus he continued in that school till he came to be perfect in the learned languages, and especially in the Greek tongue, in which he after proved an excellent critic." During his academical career, he maintained his character for piety and application to his studies; and was much beloved and "cherished" by Dr. Neville, the master. He took the degrees of B.A. 1611, and of M.A. 1615, having, previously in that year, been chosen a major fellow of his col- lege. As public orator, he wrote the letter which conveyed the thanks of the univer- sity to James I., for the present of the "Basilicon Doron," and this letter intro- duced him to the favour of that monarch. He became a courtier, and obtained the gift of a small sinecure office, once held by Sir Philip Sidney; but, on the death of the King, and of some other patrons of his, he was ordained, and made chaplain to his kinsman Philip, Earl of Pembroke: through whose interest, he was presented to the rec- tory of Fugglestone, with Bemerton annexed, near Salisbury, in 1630. He resigned his oratorship, 1627. (See R. Creighton, Elec- tion, 1613.) Herbert was buried under the altar of Bemerton Church, March 3, 1632-3, with- out any inscription. Whilst still at school, as well as in after- life, he answered Andrew Melvin's satirical Poems against the Church; many of these answers were collected and printed by Dean Duport (see Election, 1622). Herbert contributed a Latin poem to those which were published at Cambridge, on the death of Queen Anne, in 1619. He was an accom- plished modern linguist, and a good musi- cian; and he composed and set to music many anthems and hymns. His primitive life and extensive charities are well known; with the aid of some few contri- butions, he entirely rebuilt the church of Leyton Ecclesia, attached to his prebend, and he likewise "built a fair house" for his successor at Bemerton. 'He was none of the nobles of Tekoa," says Fuller, with his usual quaintness, "who, at the building of Jerusalem, 'put not their necks to the work of the Lord; but, waving worldly prefer- ments, chose serving at God's altar before state-employment. So pious his life, that, as he was a copy of primitive, he might be a pattern of sanctity to posterity. And again, "Remarkable his conformity to 66 79 Elected to Oxford, A.D. 1609. John Stubbins.'.

CHAUNCY, Greek professor; an eminent preacher; died, 1671, aged 82. [This strenuous Nonconformist, the "Cad- mus Americanus," as his biographer, Mather, styles him, was born in Hertfordshire, 1589, of "honourable and religious parents. He was chosen Hebrew professor by the Heads of Houses, but Dr. Williams, then Vice- Chancellor of the University, desiring that office for a friend of his own, made Chauncy, -then known, as we are told, "for an emi- nent Grecian,"-professor of Greek, or, as seems more probable, Greek lecturer in his own college.

For offences committed in each of these places, he was summoned before the High Commission Court; once in 1629, and again in 1635 on the last occasion, he was suspended from his ministry. He made due submission, however, after some im- prisonment, and was released on the pay- ment of great costs. This submission, he again recanted, quitted the Church of England, and fled to America. He arrived at Plymouth, in New England, at the close of 1637, spent some time in that place, and removed thence to a little town called Scituate, where he remained nine years. At the end of this time, he accepted an invitation to return to his old cure of souls at Ware; and was at Boston, preparing to embark for his native land, when he was prevailed upon by the entreaties of the over- seers of Harward College, New Cambridge, to become president of that academy. He remained during seventeen years "a learned, laborious, and useful governor of it." He was intimate with Archbishop Usher, as appears by a letter from that pre- late to Dr. Ward in 1626, and his erudition is highly spoken of by Voetius. He was well skilled in all the learned, and especially in the Oriental, languages: and, to finish his character in the words of Mather, -"He was a most indefatigable student, which, with the blessing of God, rendered him an incomparable scholar." He published a single sermon in 1655, and twenty-six sermons on "Justification" in 1659, and con- tributed a poem to the Lachrymæ Cantabri- gienses on the death of Anne, Queen of King James the First, and to the Epithalamium, on the marriage of King Charles the First and Henrietta Maria, in 1625; and the "Erixgious," Επίκρισις, at the beginning of Leigh's "Critica Sacra, was his composition. He delivered a Latin oration, February 27, 1622, on the depar- ture of the ambassadors from the King of Spain and the Archduchess of Austria, after their entertainment at Trinity College; it was printed among "True Copies of all Latin Orations made at Cambridge," &c., 1623.

He printed a single sermon, preached "at St. Mary's Spittle, in London, March 28, 1627," which he entitled, "Deli- verance from the Grave." Goffe was like- wise the author of several dramatic pieces, five of them tragedies, with the following titles,-"The Raging Turk, or Bajazet the Second," 1631;"Courageous Turk, or Amurath the First," 1632;-"Tragedy of Orestes, 1633;"-these three were reprinted in London, 1656, by the author's friend Richard Meighen;-"Selimus, Emperor of the Turks," 1638;-and "Careless Shepherd- ess," 1656. None of them were published during his lifetime. Having ever expressed his dislike of womankind, he married the widow of the former rector of East Clandon, who pre- tended to have fallen in love with his preaching. He survived this imprudent act but a short time, and died heartbroken, from the persecutions of the lady and of her children by her former husband. He was buried in the chancel of the church of East Clandon, July 27, 1629; but no monu- ment was erected in remembrance of him. -Ath Ox. ii. 463-4, Fasti, i. 352. 366. 411; Lessing Sämmtliche Werke, xv. 229; Cole's Athenæ, Y, Incorporations; Manning's Sur- rey, iii. 50; Gentn.'s Magazine, lxviii. 558.] 4 [E.

These facts-taken chiefly from the Re- gisters of the University of Cambridge- clearly show that a confusion is made in Collins's Peerage between two generations; for this Francis Finch is said to have been of Balliol, Oxford, an ingenious poet and a barrister-at-law; whereas the Francis Finch to whom Anthony à Wood applies this de- scription was a son of Sir Heneage Finch, the Speaker of the House of Commons in the first year of Charles the First, and must have been distinct from the scholar of Trinity, as his eldest brother Heneage (who was made Lord Chancellor and Earl of Not- tingham in 1675) was not born until the year 1621.-University Registers; Berry's County Genealog. 207; Collins's Peerage, iii. 383, et seq.; Fasti Ox. ii. 102.] 5 [P.

[Lambert Osbolston, or Osbaldeston, was born in the parish of St. Olave's, Southwark, of which his father, who bore the same names as himself, was rector. He was much patron- ized by Archbishop Williams (see page 18), who made him prebendary of Lincoln in 1629; he was also a prebendary of Wells; and, during the Commonwealth, rector of Wheathampstead, Herts. The Star Chamber condemned him to lose all his spiritualities, to pay a fine of 5000l. to the King, and a like sum to Archbishop Laud, and, moreover, to have his ears nailed to the pillory, in presence of his scholars, in Palace Yard (or in Dean's Yard, accord- ing to Rapin), and to be imprisoned during the King's pleasure. The offence which provoked so severe a sentence consisted in some obscure reflections upon Laud in a letter to Archbishop Williams: Osbolston escaped by flight from the infliction of these penalties; whence arose the jest that he "had gone beyond Canterbury." He was restored to his benefices by the Long Parliament, in 1641; but, being after- wards shocked at the lengths to which that assembly proceeded, his preferments were again sequestered, and he passed the re- mainder of his life in a retired manner. Willis says that he died in possession of his preferments, as much as the times would allow. It He bore the character of a learned man, and was an excellent master, and "very fortunate in breeding up many wits." is also said that he "had at the present (1638) above fourscore doctors in the two universities, and three learned faculties, all gratefully acknowledging their educa- tion under him." The "Tragical History of Piramus and Thisbe," one of Cowley's Poetical Blossoms, is dedicated "To the Right Worshipful, my very loving Master, Mr. Lambert Osbol- ston." Dr. Osbaldeston died at the beginning of October, and, on the 7th of that month, was buried in the south aisle of Westminster Abbey, without any memorial.

In 1621, he took the degree of M.A. at Cambridge, and, in 1628, was incorporated in the same degree in the sister university. Besides the preferments mentioned above, he enjoyed a stall in Lincoln Cathedral; he was appointed to it in 1631, and resigned it in 1670; he was a canon residentiary, and a prebendary of Wells; and, moreover, held a living in Somersetshire. He retired to Oxford when the Civil War broke out, and was there made D.D. in 1642. When the Parliament ob- tained possession of Oxford, he escaped into Cornwall, in the disguise of a labourer, and afterwards succeeded in joining the court of Charles the Second, whose exile he shared. He was consecrated bishop of Bath and Wells, June 19, 1670. Bishop Creyghton was a very learned man, a famous Greek scholar, and richly endowed with the gift of eloquence.

This Townley was "esteemed a noted orator and philosopher." He wrote a com- mendatory copy of verses on Ben Jonson, prefixed to that poet's works, and also a short poem in answer to an attack made on Jonson by Alexander Gill; it has this superscription," Mr. Souch Townlye to Mr. Ben Johnson, against Mr. Alexander Gill's verses wrighten by hym against the Play called the Magnettick Ladye."

MORLEY, canon of Christ Church, 1641; dean of Christ Church, 1660; bishop of Worcester, 1660; dean of the Chapel Royal, 1661; bishop of Winchester, 1662. He gave several large benefactions to Christ Church, Oxford, for the public use of that college; died, 1684, aged 87. [George Morley was born in Cheapside in 1597; his father was Francis Morley, Esq., and his mother a sister of Sir John Denham, one of the Barons of the Exchequer. They both died before he was 12 years old. B.A. 1618; M.A. 1621. He lived on his stu- dentship at Christ Church for many years, but quitted his residence there to be chap- lain to Robert, Earl of Carnarvon, with whom he remained until 1640. In that year, he obtained the rectory of Hartfield, Sussex, which, being a sinecure, he soon exchanged for that of Mildenhall, Wilts. About this time, he was made chaplain in ordinary to Charles the First. He pro- ceeded D.D. in 1642, and, in that year, preached by appointment before the House of Commons. The sermon was "so little to the taste" of the members, that they did not order it to be printed. Dr. Morley accompanied the King during the Civil Wars, and conducted several ne- gociations with the Parliament on his be- half; he also gave up the profits of the first year of his canonry at Christ Church towards the expenses of the war: this con- stant attendance on the King prevented him from attending the Assembly of Divines, although he had been nominated a member of that body. He zealously with- stood the Parliamentary Visitors both at Oxford and in London. He was deputed to London, as a delegate from the University, to plead before the committee of the House of Commons. He was dispossessed of all his preferments, although Selden and White- lock both made efforts to serve him. He attended his friend Lord Capel, after his sentence, to the foot of the scaffold. During the exile, into which, in common with other Royalists, he was driven, he con- stantly performed the duties of his calling. He spent the two first years at Antwerp, in the family of Sir Edward Hyde (after- wards Lord Clarendon); he was then for two years at the Hague, as chaplain to the Queen of Bohemia, then joined the Hydes at Breda, and lived again with them for four years. He also officiated for some time in Sir Richard Browne's chapel at Paris. During all this time, he daily read the Church Service, established a weekly Ca- techism, and administered the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper every month. Dr. Morley was sent over to England to prepare the way for the King's return, and was selected for the mission from his being inclined to the opinions of the Calvinist party. When the Restoration was accom- plished, he was rewarded with the deanery of Christ Church, in which he was installed July 27, 1660; and, on the 28th of October, in the same year, was consecrated Bishop of Worcester, in Westminster Abbey. Bishop Morley preached the sermon at the Coronation, April 23, 1661. He was a chief manager of the Savoy conference, speaking oftener, and more eloquently, than any of the bishops. He was also one of the framers of the Act of Uniformity. He was translated to Winchester, May 4, 1662. The King remarked, when he nominated him to that wealthy bishoprick, on the death of Bishop Duppa (see Election, 1605), "Morley would never be the richer for it." In the first year of his translation to that see, he visited all his diocese, including the Isle of Wight, and was said to have been the first bishop who had visited that island within the memory of man. In 1664, he exercised his visitatorial authority over those colleges of which the Bishop of Winchester is visitor. He died at Farnham Castle, October 29, 1684, and was interred in Winchester Cathedral. His benefactions were very large and numerous; those to his own diocese, to St. Paul's Cathedral, and to the increase of small vicarages, deserve especial notice. In 85 Elected to Oxford, A.D. 1616.

His donations to Christ Church, for the re- pair of dilapidations during the Civil Wars, amounted to no less than 22007. He י, He had been one of Ben Jonson's "sons,' and was the intimate friend of Lord Falk- land, Chillingworth and Waller; with the last (to whom he was under pecuniary obligations) he resided for some years at Beaconsfield. He is described as a good and pious prelate, a polite scholar, an eminent controversialist, as possessed of considerable learning, and great vivacity of thought, and, though zealous against Popery, an enemy to other forms of Dissent. That he was witty is shown by the reply he is said to have made to the question of a country gentleman, "What do the Arminians hold ?" "All the best bishopricks and deaneries in England," answered Dr. Morley. Most of Isaac Walton's lives are dedicated to him. His writings are chiefly polemical; Wood gives a list of them. Bishop Morley successfully defended him- self from any blame on account of the Duchess of York's conversion to the Romish faith; and published "A Letter to Anne Duchess of York, some few months before her death, written January 24, 1670." He also printed a "Vindication of himself from divers false, scandalous and injurious Reflections made upon him by M. Rich. Baxter, in several of his writings. London, 1683.' The inscription upon his tomb in Win- chester Cathedral was his own compo- sition, after he had entered upon his eightieth year. His arms are in the Gate House at Christ Church, and on the new buildings at New College.

He became chaplain to Bishop Corbet (see Election, 1590) about 1633. When the King and Queen visited Oxford in 1636, Strode received them at Christ Church Gate with a Latin oration; and, after that, a comedy of his composition, called "The Passions Calmed, or the Floating Island," was performed before the royal party in Christ Church Hall: Wood tells us that this play "had more of the moralist than poet in it, and, though it was well penned, it did not take with the courtiers as well as with the togated crew."

He was afterwards in the service of Cardinal Barberini; and died at Rome, 1676. "The greatest critic of his time." ― [John Price, or Pricæus, was of Welsh ex- traction, although born in London in 1600. He left Oxford without taking a degree, or being matriculated, probably because, about this time, he became a Roman Catholic, for it is recorded that he had improved himself in all sorts of polite learning. He accompanied Mr. Thomas Howard, one of the Earl of Arundel's sons, into Italy, and there took the degree of Doctor of Laws. Soon after his return to his own country, he went with Lord Strafford into Ireland, and there his friendship with Bishop Usher commenced. He shared the ill fortunes of his patron, came back to England in 1640, and wrote pamphlets in behalf of the Royal cause, for which he suffered some persecution from the opposite party. It appears that he then went to Paris, which he left about 1646, and must have returned from thence to England, for he writes to Archbishop Usher from London in August, 1653. His next letter to that learned pre- late, on the death of his intimate friend Sarravius, is dated from Florence in the December following. As the climate of Florence did not suit his health, the Grand Duke obtained for him the Greek professor- ship at Pisa, the duties of which he per- formed with great reputation, but which ill health obliged him to resign; thence he went to Venice, with the intention of pub- lishing Hesychius' Lexicon,-an object in which he did not succeed. From Venice he went to Rome; and there, in the convent of St. Augustine, closed a life of learning and research, at the age of 76. Of his literary productions, the earliest was a copy of verses contributed to the col- lection, entitled "Funebria Sacra," written on the death of Anne, Queen of James the First, in 1619;-of the remainder, his greatest works are his Notes on Apuleius, and his critical commentaries on the Books of the New Testament.

Pope's "Life of Bishop Ward," proves the contrary, and, perhaps, makes it doubtful whether the latter was educated at West- minster at all; for in the 6th Chapter, Pope says of him, "He was a very honest and learned man, and Mr. Busby's servitor at Christ Church, and but one remove from it at Westminster." He was usher of the fourth form when P. Henry (Election 1647) was placed in it in 1643; and is said to have been "a most able and diligent schoolmaster, and one who grieved so much at the dulness and non-proficiency of his scholars, that, falling into a consumption, I have heard Mr. Henry say of him, that he killed himself with false Latin." In Bagshawe's "Narration" (see p. 125), it is stated that Vincent, in May, 1656, announced to the "Electioners" his willingness to resign, as he had for some time been disabled, by an incurable infirmity, from performing his duty. The "Electioners" gave him still longer grace, and appointed Bagshawe tem- porarily to fill his place, but did not finally determine to accept his resignation until the end of the following year.-Widmore, 227; Life of P. Henry, 126.] 6 [J. HARRIS,-he, too, wrote a poem in the Funebria Sacra" referred to above.] 66 1 T. LOCKEY, public librarian, and pre- bendary of Chichester; canon of Christ Church; eminent for a curious collection of books, medals, pictures, &c.; died 1679, aged 78. [He was vicar of East Garston, Berks, but resigned that cure of souls in 1633. He became a tutor of distinction at Christ Church, but was deprived of that office, and suspended from preaching by the Parliamentary Visitors, Jan. 16, 1650-1; and, moreover, lost his stall at Chichester. His offence was a sermon which displeased the Visitors. He returned to his academical duties at the Restoration, and was made prebendary of Beminster Prima in the church of Salisbury, July 21, 1660; but, shortly afterwards, he resigned his stall at Chichester. He proceeded D.D. November 29, 1660, being still in possession of his studentship. He held the post of librarian to the Bodleian from 1660 until December, 1665: on the 12th of June in that year, he 88 Elected to Oxford, A.D. 1619. Thomas Dawson. George Griffith".

Dr. Lockey was one of those who con- tributed money towards the rebuilding of Christ Church in 1660. He wrote a copy of verses on the death of the Queen-Consort in 1619, printed with the other Oxford poems, and contributed to almost all the poetical collections made by that University on similar occasions up to the period of the Restoration. Wood describes him "as a re- tired and studious person, (who) had been a great tutor in his house in the time of Usur- pation, a collector of pictures, coines, medals, &c., all or most of which, with his choice library, came into the hands of Dr. Henry Killigrew, prebendary of Westminster." He died, June 29, 1679. His picture is in the Bodleian Gallery. The amiable character recorded on his epitaph in Christ Church Cathedral, where he lies buried, seems a fit conclusion to this account.

GRIFFITH, canon and archdeacon of St. Asaph [from January, 1631, until he became] bishop of St. Asaph, 1660; died [December 28], 1666. ["A learned, religious, and truly good man;"-graduated at Ox- ford as B.A. 1623; as M.A. 1626; and soon became an eminent tutor in his house, and a famous preacher in the university. He quitted his academical career to be chap- lain to Bishop Owen, of St. Asaph, who conferred upon him the rectory of New- town, Montgomeryshire, June 3, 1631, and that of Llandrinio, in January, 1632-3. In January, 1633-4, his patron further 89 nominated him to the rectory of Llanfeckan, in the same county, which he exchanged for Llanymynach, Salop, in the March fol- lowing. He was also rector of Llandissilio, Montgomeryshire. He proceeded B.D. 1632, and took his Doctor's degree in Divinity in 1634. Towards the close of the Convocation of 1640, Dr. Griffith, ("whose moderate car- riage all the while," says Fuller, " was very commendable,") moved for a new edition of the Welsh Church Bible, translated by Bishops Morgan and Parry. (See Election, 1580.) The Convocation entrusted the re- vision to the Welsh bishops, but no pro- gress was made in it, owing to the troubles which arose throughout England. During the Civil War, Dr. Griffith was stripped of his stall, his archdeaconry, and all his livings but the rectory of Llanymy- nach. In this retreat he "successfully as- serted the truth and cause of the Church of England in Wales, in disputing with itinerants, and in keeping up the offices and ceremonies thereof," &c. &c. He afterwards published, in 1652 and 1653, his disputa- tions with the chief of these itinerants, one Vavasour Powell, who had put forth a false account of the disputations that took place between them, July 23, 1652. Dr. Griffith's services were rewarded at the Restoration, and he was consecrated bishop of St. Asaph in Henry the Seventh's Chapel, Westminster Abbey, October 28, 1660. This elevation did not quench his zeal for the cause of religion. In 1662, he assisted in drawing up the Act of Uni- formity and in revising the Book of Common Prayer. The service for the Baptism of those of riper years is said to have been wholly his composition. He "presided worthily in his see," esta- blished Welsh sermons in his parish churches, and repaired the cathedral; in the choir of which he was interred. Under the bishop's throne, which he had erected, is a grave- stone, with an inscription to his memory. He held the archdeaconry of St. Asaph, and the rectories of Llandrinio and Llanymynach in commendam with his bishoprick. He was born, September 30, 1601; ac- cording to Humphreys, at Llanfaethlw, Anglesea, but, according to Wood, at Penrhyn, Carnarvonshire. The former au- thority asserts him also to have been the third son of Robert Griffith, of Carreylwd. His publications were (besides the dispu- tations already alluded to) "Some plain dis- courses on the Lord's Supper," in 1684, and an "Exposition of the Lord's Prayer, in Welsh," in 1685; also a set of Latin verses prefixed to Dr. Davies's Dictionary,-another among the Oxford poems, on the death of King James the First in 1625,-and another among those published, in the same year, on the marriage of King Charles the First.

[He was descended from an ancient" and genteel family in Cumber- land," and son of Dr. John Aglionby, a learned divine, who was principal of St. Edmund Hall, Oxford, from 1601 until 1609. It is supposed that George Aglionby held a stall at Chichester. He was incorporated in the degree of B.A. at Cambridge, 1624,-pro- ceeded D.D. at Oxford, 1634;-was incor- porated at Cambridge in that degree also in 1641. He succeeded to the stall at Westminster, Sept. 28, 1638, on the death of his uncle, Dr. John King. (See Election, 1608.) Dr. Aglionby was a great friend of the celebrated Thomas Hobbes, of Malmesbury, and had been one of the Masters of West- minster School, and, subsequently, tutor to the young Duke of Buckingham. He was deprived of his stall at Westminster during the Rebellion, and also of the deanery of Canterbury in the latter, indeed, he had never been installed. He wrote some verses, printed with the Oxford poems, on the marriage of Charles the First in 1625. He was buried in Christ Church Cathedral on the 11th of November, 1643.-Ath.

Although elected from Westminster in 1621, he did not matriculate until 1624, yet he took the degree of B.A. in 1625, and that of M.A. in 1628. Hemmings wrote "The Coursinge of the Hare, or the Madcap," a comedy acted at the Fortune Theatre, 1632-3, and "The Fatal Contract," a tragedy. This was pub- lished in 1653, and was revived by Elkanah Settle (see Election, 1663), under the title of "Love and Revenge." It was afterwards reprinted as a new tragedy, and called "The Eunuch," in 1687. He was also the author of the "Jews' Tragedy," or their overthrow by Vespasian and Titus, from the account given by Josephus; and of other works which do not appear to have been printed. He was one of thirteen children; the third son of his father, and, probably, the eldest surviving one in 1630, when he acted as executor to his father's will. He is supposed to have died shortly be- fore the publication of "The Fatal Con- tract," in 1653. The editors of this piece, who sign themselves by the initials A. T. and A.

DUPORT, Greek professor; master of Magdalen College; dean of Peter- borough, 1664: translator of the Psalms and the Book of Job into Greek verse.- Vid. Nichols's History of Aston Flamvile and Burbach, 279. [He was born in Jesus College, Cambridge, (of which his father was master,) in 1606;-attained the degree of M.A. 1630; and, soon afterwards, was ad- mitted into holy orders. He was appointed one of the tutors of his college, and exercised this function with unparalleled success and reputation for more than thirty years; he could boast of having had Dr. Barrow and Lord Russell among his pupils. He proceeded B.D.: and, when appointed professor of Greek, 1639, the college permitted him to retain his fel- lowship. Duport was indebted for his earliest church preferment to Bishop Williams, (see page 18,) who, in 1641, made him archdeacon of Stow, and prebendary of Lincoln his only acquaintance with the bishop arose from their annually meeting at the Westminster election in their several capacities of Dean of Westminster and Examiner. He was nominated the Lady Margaret's preacher at Cambridge, 1646. Although a staunch Royalist, and, as such, ejected from his stall and archdeaconry, he was not at first deprived of any of his offices in the university, but continued his Greek lectures until a place was wanted for Widdrington, a republican, to whom he yielded the professor's chair, in 1654. He was not, however, a loser by this injustice, for his college, anxious to secure a con- tinuance of his useful labours among them, immediately made him a senior fellow again, and, in 1655, vice-master. This appointment, as the master was seldom in residence, threw on him the principal government of the college. In 1660, he was restored to his stall,-made King's chaplain,-and created D.D. by Royal Mandate. The mastership of Magdalen College was given him by Lord Suffolk in 1661; and, in the following year, he served the office of vice-chancellor. About 1672, he was presented to the recto- ries of Aston Flamville and Burbach, in Leicestershire, and was installed in the deanery of Peterborough, July 27, 1664. He died July 17, 1679, in his 73rd year, leaving behind him a reputation for Greek scholarship, unrivalled among his contem- poraries, and which continued undiminished through the next generation. Of his works, the translation of the Book of Job appeared in 1637, and that of the Books of Solomon in 1639. The former issued from the University Press, and was accompanied by a very handsome and un- usual testimonial from the vice-chancellor, and three other Heads of Houses. His "Homeri Gnomologia" was published in 1660, and spread his fame among the learned on the continent,-the preface to it contains an enthusiastic and grateful address to Westminster School. One of the greatest honours paid to any of his books was the address of the Convocation of 1666, praying the King to recommend his translation of the Psalms of David for general use in schools. In 1676, he collected and published all his numerous poems under the title of "Musæ Subsecivæ," and it must not be omitted that it was his translation into Greek of the Book of Common Prayer which first introduced that sublime com- position to the learned members of the Greek Church. He possessed learning, in- deed, as an hereditary right, for his father was a translator of the Bible, and his mother was the daughter of Bishop Cox (see page 3), of whom mention has already been made as one of the most learned com- pilers of our Liturgy. Mr. Hallam says that "he deserves honor by standing almost alone in the middle of the seventeenth century," as eminent in ancient or classical literature; and in the agreeable life of him in the Museum Criticum (whence many of the facts in this memoir have been derived), his learned biographer asserts "that it would not be easy to name any individual who, at the peculiar crisis in which he lived, rendered more signal service to the cause of sound learning and religious education." His remains were interred in the cathe- dral at Peterborough, to which, and to the Grammar School there, he had been a great benefactor. He subscribed, also, 2007. to the formation of the library at Trinity College, and bequeathed to it all his books. At Magdalen, he endowed a scholarship and made a considerable donation to that Society.-Cole's MSS., xlv. 240. 262; Catalogue of Lady Margaret Professors, with Bp.

In the same year he resigned his stall in Peterborough Cathedral. During the Civil War, his preferments at Wells were taken away from him; and Walker supposes that he was also ejected from the living of North Curry, Somersetshire. His death, which took place April 26, 1674, when he was 70 years old, is recorded in a curious obituary kept by his first-cousin, Richard Smith, a famous bookworm, and prothono- tary of the Poultry Compter. Dr. Smith was born at Bristol, and the son of Edward Smith, Esq. Willis calls him "a great dealer in preferments, but acknow- ledges that he was a munificent benefactor both to Wells and to Christ Church."

RANDOLPH, an eminent poet; ac- counted one of the best wits of his time; the friend and disciple of Ben Jonson; died, 1634. [He was born near Daventry, in Northamptonshire, in 1605. His father, William Randolph, of Hams, near Lewes, in Sussex, was steward to Edward, Lord Zouch. He took the degree of M.A. at Cam- bridge; and was incorporated in that degree at Oxford in 1631. His works consist chiefly of poems and plays. They were collected after his death by his brother Robert (see Election, 1629), and published in one volume in 1638. A fifth edition of them appeared in 1668. The most admired of his compo- sitions is the "Muses' Looking Glass," a comedy, printed in 1638; that, and "Amyntas, or the Impossible Dowry," which appeared in the same year, were published with his poems in 1640. The titles of his other dramas were," Aristippus, or the Jovial Philosopher," 1630;-"The Conceited Pedlars," 1630;"The Jealous Lovers," 1632;-and "Hey for Honesty, down with Knavery, translated out of Aristophanes his Plutus; augmented and published by F. J.," 1651. "The Prodigal Scholar," by Thomas Randall-entered on the books of the Stationers' Company, 1660, but not printed, is thought by Mr. Reed to have been Randolph's. Mr. Malone supposes him to have superintended the publication of the second folio edition of Shakespeare's plays, published in 1632. His fame was not confined to the uni- 94 Elected to Oxford, A.D. 1624. Edward Fulham'. Elected to Cambridge, A.D. 1624. Robert King. William Thelwall2. Roger Heyrick³. Richard Busby*. Richard Gould.

He is alluded to in the Sixth Sestyad of "The Times displayed in Six Sestyads;" and honorable mention of him is made in Dr. Monk's account of Dean Duport above alluded to. Fuller says,-"The Muses may seem not only to have smiled, but to have been tickled at his nativity, such the festivity of his poems of all sorts. The excesses into which his fashionable life had led him brought him to the grave at an early age. He died at the house of William Stafford, Esq., of Blatherwyke House, Northamptonshire, and was buried there among the ancestors of that family, "in anaisle adjoining the church," March 17, 1634. Sir Christopher Hatton erected a monu- ment to him, for which an inscription in Latin and English verse was composed by Randolph's most intimate friend, Peter Hausted.-Ath.

[A prelate of exemplary piety,-had been archdeacon of Man, and had ad- ministered the whole ecclesiastical govern- ment of the island, from Bishop Parr's death in 1643, until it fell under the power of the Parliament, when he is supposed to have suffered with the other clergy. He was the friend of the celebrated Earl of Derby, and the companion of that nobleman in the imprisonment which he endured for his at- tachment to the royal cause. At the Resto- ration, in addition to his bishoprick, he obtained a prebendal stall at Lichfield. Bishop Rutter was buried in his own. cathedral, under the uncovered steeple of St. Germains, then in ruins. His singular epitaph is given below. It was engraven on a brass plate, which was sacrilegiously stolen by a tourist, only a few years ago. 44 In hac domo quam a bermiculis Mutuo accepi confratribus meis Sub spe Resurrectionis ad vitam Jaceo Samuel Permissione Divina Episcopus hujus Insulae Siste Lector Vide et Ride Palatium Episcopi Obiit 30 die Mensis Maii In: 1662." -Bp.

[He had great 95 success as a tutor at Oxford, and it is a curious fact that nine of his pupils were, at one and the same time, colonels in the King's service. He was lecturer of moral philoso- phy at Oxford, from 1633 to 1638, and was senior proctor of the University in 1639. In 1638, he was made chaplain to Bishop Bancroft (see Election, 1592). He was also chaplain, successively, to King Charles the First and King Charles the Second ;- rector of Wootton, Oxon, and of Hampton Poyle, in the same county,-and some time vicar of Bray, and of West Ildesley, Berks. He was chosen proctor for the dio- cese of Oxford in the Convocation of 1641; and took the degree of B.D. January 16, 1642-3. Fulham was stripped of his benefices by the Parliamentary visitors; and even had articles exhibited against him in Parlia- ment;-was imprisoned, and forced to pur- chase his liberty by the resignation of the living of Wootton. He fled from these persecutions into Italy, and became chaplain to the Factory of Leghorn. He was reinstated in his preferments at the Restoration ;-was installed a canon of Windsor, July 12, 1660, in the place of Thomas Jones, who had deceased some years before; and, August 2, 1660, proceeded D.D. Dr. Fulham purchased the manor of Compton Eastbury, Surrey, in 1686. He died, December 9, 1694, at the age of 90; and lies buried in the chancel of Compton Church. His wife was a daughter of Sir R. Clarke, co. Oxon. Some Latin verses of his are to be met with in the Oxford Collections, on the death of James the First, and on the marriage of Prince Charles with the Princess Henrietta Maria, in 1625.

The most emi- nent schoolmaster of his time, having edu- cated the greatest number of learned scholars that ever adorned at one time any age or nation; a great benefactor to Christ Church; born, 1606; died, 1695.-Bio- graphia Britannica, iii. 52. Widmore, in his History of Westminster Abbey, p. 227, has industriously recorded an extract from the Church Wardens' Accounts of St. Margaret's Parish, by which it appears that Dr. Busby received of that parish 57. to enable him to proceed bachelor; and 67. 13s. 4d. to proceed master of arts. It is manifest by the event, that 117. 13s. 4d. was never bestowed to a better purpose: but the historian ought not to have omitted the return made by Dr. Busby, who (besides leaving an estate of 525l. per annum, and personal property to the amount of nearly 5000l. to charitable purposes,) left specifi- cally 50l. to indigent housekeepers of St. Margaret's parish. And to his honor be it remembered, that he declares expressly in his will, that it had been his constant resolution, from the age of thirty-one, to settle such estate as God in his mercy should entrust him with, upon such chari- table uses as might lead to God's glory, and the relief of good people in necessity. י, [Richard, second son of Richard Busby, of Westminster, Gentn., was born at Lutton, in Lincolnshire, September 22, 1606, and was probably descended from the Busbys of Addington, Bucks ;-he achieved a great reputation at the university as "an exact Latinist and Grecian," and likewise for his powers of oratory: he graduated as B.A. 1628, and as M.A. 1631. While still a resi- dent in the university, he acted the part of Cratander, in Cartwright's "Royal Slave,' before the King and Queen at Christ Church, and was the most applauded of all his fellow students. His success on this occasion excited in him so violent a passion for the stage, that he had serious thoughts of engaging himself as an actor. He was appointed master of Westminster School provisionally, when Osbolston (see Elec- tion, 1612) was deprived of that office in 1638, but was not confirmed in it until December 23, 1640. During the Civil War he was ejected from his stall in Wells Cathedral, and from the living of Cud- worth, but was allowed to retain his stu- 96 dentship of Christ Church and the chief mastership of the school; this was a tribute to his pre-eminent qualities as an instructor, and was obtained, although with difficulty, without any concession of principle on his part. He maintained his post, notwith- standing the efforts of E. Bagshaw (see Elec- tion, 1646), and Owen Price, an Independent (see Thos. Hardinge, page 17), who were at one time nearly successful in ejecting him; fortunately, however, for the school, and, it may be said, for the country, they failed. At the Restoration, Busby's losses were made good to him. On the 5th of July, 1660, he obtained a stall at Westminster; August 11, he was made treasurer and canon residen- tiary of Wells; and, on the 19th of October, the University of Oxford raised him at once from the degree of M.A. to that of D.D. At the coronation of King Charles the Second, in April, 1661, he carried the am- pulla; and the orb with the cross, at the coronation of King James the Second in 1685. He represented the chapter of Bath and Wells as proctor in the Convocation, and was one of those who subscribed their approba- tion of the Book of Common Prayer in June, 1661. He died on Saturday, the 6th of April, 1695. His monument in West- minster Abbey is well known to all old Westminsters; the epitaph on it is too long for insertion here. Dr. Busby is said to have been not only witty, learned, and highly accomplished, but also modest and unassuming; his piety unaffected, his liberality unbounded. If Bagshaw's account, and the common report are to be relied on, he never spoilt the child by sparing the rod; in fact, ac- cording to Dr. Johnson, he used to call the rod "his sieve," and to say that "whoever did not pass through it was no boy for him." Nevertheless, he was much beloved by his scholars, as may be seen by the letters from Dryden (Election, 1650), and Severne (Election, 1638), to him, given in the Illustrations to Nichols's Lit. Hist., and also by the terms in which Philip Henry (Election, 1647) speaks of him. He is said to have taken especial pains in preparing his scholars for the reception of the Eucharist. His character is thus summed up by Wood,-"He was a person eminent and ex- emplary for piety and justice, an encourager of vertuous and forward youth, of great learning and hospitality, and the chief person that educated more youths that were afterwards eminent in the Church and State than any master of his time." The publications which pass under his name are not numerous, and were all for the use of his scholars, or rather of the school, for many of them have been in use at Westminster, more or less altered, until a few years since. It is a tradition that some of the Grammars were the composi- tion of his scholars, superintended and cor- rected by himself. Besides the Grammars, he published an expurgated edition of the "Satires of Juvenal and Persius," in 1656, and a similar edition of "Martial's Epi- grams," in 1661. His benefactions to Christ Church were, -a maintenance for a lecture in the Oriental tongues, which was never com- pleted, and for one in mathematics;- a stipend, 307. a year, for a catechetical lecture to be read in one of the parish churches in Oxford;-a present of 100%. to- wards the making of a common room under the west end of the great hall, and also for the setting up of a "pew or pulpit" there, wherein the two former lectures should be read ;-and 250l. to the rebuilding of Christ Church at the Restoration. The catechetical lecture must be given to a Westminster student, and so so must the vicarage of Willen Bucks, the advowson of which he gave to Christ Church. He entirely rebuilt the church, at the last-named place, en- dowed the vicarage with great tithes, and added a library for the use of the neigh- bouring clergy, and likewise appointed twenty-two lectures on the Catechism, to be preached annually in the church. He was, moreover, a liberal benefactor to the Cathedral of Wells; and the beautiful pavement of black and white marble in the choir of Westminster Abbey was his gift. Under his will, thirteen trustees were appointed to carry his charitable intentions into effect, and any vacancy in this number is supplied by the choice of the remainder. The trustees are always old Westminsters of some standing and influence. They hold two fixed meetings, and dine together, after the second, every year, in the Jerusalem Chamber. A list of them will be given in the Appendix. The picture, by Riley, of Dr. Busby, sitting down, with one of his scholars-said to be Philip Henry-standing by him, is in the Hall at Christ Church; there are also portraits of him in the Chapter House, and in the Common Room, where there is also a bust of him by Rysbrac. But these like- nesses all have their origin from a cast in plaster, which his friends had taken after death, for, during his life, he never would permit his picture to be drawn.—Ath.

Two years afterwards he entered into holy orders, and was presented to the vicar- age of Towin, in his native county; and Nov. 26, 1634, instituted chancellor of Bangor. He resigned these preferments in 1636, on being appointed chaplain to the Earl of Strafford, then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.

HYDE, nominated dean of Windsor, 1658, but died before the Restoration. [He was appointed tutor in his College, 1636; and became M.A. at Cambridge, 1637, being still a fellow of Trinity. He was afterwards made rector of Brightwell, Berks, and, being ejected thence, joined the royal party at Oxford, took up his abode with his wife and children within the pre- cincts of Hart Hall, frequented the Bod- leian Library for study, and preached at Holywell, in the suburbs of that city, "to the great satisfaction (as Lloyd expresses it) of all good people." On the decline of the royalist cause, he was driven from this cure also;-retired to Salisbury, and died there, August 16, 1659, in his 52nd year. He was buried in the cathedral at Salisbury, in which there exists a monument to his memory. He was "actually created" D.D. at Oxford, Jan. 6, 1642-3, and was the author of several works on divinity. A copy of Latin verses by him will be found pre- fixed to Dean Duport's translation of the book of Job into Greek verse, in 1637 (Election, 1622), and another among the Cambridge Poems on the birth of the Princess Elizabeth in 1635. He was one of a very numerous family; his elder bro- thers all attained to great distinction. The eldest became Sir Lawrence; the second, Sir Robert, was Chief Justice of the Common Pleas; Sir Henry, the third, was ambassador at Constantinople, and beheaded by the Puritans during the Rebellion; his fourth brother, Alexander, became bishop of Salis- bury; and he himself was the fifth son.. 0 98 Elected to Oxford, A.D. 1626.

Like Hyde, he assisted in ushering into the world Dean Duport's translation of Job, by prefixing to it a copy of complimentary Latin verses, 1637. He also wrote some English verses, set before Mr. John Russell's account of "The two famous pitched Battels of Lypsick and Lutzen," published in 1634, and some more are to be found before T.

[His father, Thos.

B.A. 1631; M.A. 1634. His talent for preaching, and still more the influence of his brother, Sir Henry Wood, procured him preferment at an early age; when only 28, he was made chaplain in ordinary to Charles the First; and, in 1635, vicar of Whickham, Durham, on the presentation of the Crown. He proceeded D.D. in 1641, "by virtue of a dispensation for allowance of terms." During the Rebellion he tra- velled to Rome. He was restored to his living, on his petition to the House of Commons, June 18, 1660; installed a pre- bendary of Durham, December 10 of that year; presented to the deanery of Lichfield, in February, 1663-4, and consecrated bishop of the latter see, July 2, 1671, being al- lowed to hold his stall at Durham in com- mendam with his bishoprick. He entirely neglected his preferments, living in a mean way at Hackney; and, at length, was sus- pended by Archbishop Sancroft for re- fusing to return to his diocese. The last two years of his life were passed at Astrop, Wells, Northamptonshire, on account of his health he died there, but was buried at Ufford, in Suffolk. Out of the great wealth amassed by his parsimony, he left several large legacies to charities-such as 2007. a year, to be equally divided among the senior masters, students of Christ Church, being Protestants of the Church of England; and about 3000l. to the junior masters, besides bequests to the poor of the city of Durham, and of the parish of Whickham. During his lifetime he gave 1007. to the repair of Christ Church. His picture, by Lely, is in the Hall, and his arms are graven on the gateway, at Christ Church.

The map of the tribe of Ephraim, in Fuller's "Pisgah Sight of Palestine," is dedicated to him in the following words:"Gulielmo Crane, ar- migero, optimi patris non indigno filio, ac, jure uxorio hæredi Francisci Crane Equitis Aurati, (cujus Minervæ Anglia debet si quid habeat rarioris artificii in subtiliore Texturâ) Tabellam hanc." This heiress was Frances, daughter of William Bond, niece of Sir F. Crane, to whom W. Crane was married in 1636, and in whose right he succeeded to Sir Francis Crane's property, at Woodrising, Norfolk. William Crane died April 2, 1673. -Cole's MSS., xxxviii. 261, xlv. 240. 263; Fuller's Pisgah, 178; Baker's Northamp- tonshire, ii. 243.] 6 [T.

His family came originally from the Isle of Wight; and his brother, Sir William Boreman, was clerk of the Green Cloth to King Charles the Second. Dr. Boreman was a pious and learned divine, and the author of several works:- In 1653, "when the being of universities laid at stake," he stood forward in their defence, and published " IIaideía Opiaußos," or "The Triumphs of Learning over Igno- rance," &c. He printed the sermon which he had preached at the funeral of Dr. Comber, the ejected master of Trinity (see page 20).

In 1644, he suffered expulsion from his fellowship, but was restored by desire of Cromwell, as will be seen by a letter, of which the following is a copy.

CARTWRIGHT, chaunter of Salis- bury, 1642; the most eminent poet, orator, and philosopher of his time; died, 1643, aged 33. Biographia Britannica, vol. ii. p. 287. [He was born at Northway, near Tewkesbury, in September, 1611; his fa- ther, a gentleman by birth, had spent a good estate, and was reduced to keeping an inn at Cirencester. William Cartwright was sent to the free school of the latter town, where he made great progress; and, being transferred from thence to West- minster, "compleated his former learning to a miracle under Mr. Lambert Osbaldes- ton' (see Election, 1612). Upon his re- moval to Oxford he was committed to the tutorage of Jerameel Terrent, already men- tioned, under Election, 1620, as a famous tutor at Christ Church. He proceeded M.A. 1635; was admitted into holy orders, 1638; and was appointed Reader in Meta- physics in the university; which lecture, Wood says, was never so well expounded as by him and his immediate predecessor. He was nominated one of the Council of War," (see Stateville,) Sept. 1, 1642; and, on the 16th of that month, was imprisoned by Lord Say, but released on bail, although he was sent away from Oxford for a short time. He was very intimate with Bishop Duppa (see Election, 1605), and, by his favour, ob- tained the office which he held in Salisbury cathedral. He was nominated proctor to the university in 1643, but, on the 29th of November, in that year, fell a victim to the camp fever, then raging at Oxford, and was buried in Christ Church cathedral on the 1st of December. The great reputation to which he attained during his short life is very remarkable, 101 Elected to Oxford, A.D. 1629. Thomas Drew. Ravis Benson. Robert Randolph 2. John Edwards. Giles Harwell 3. and may be judged of from the unbounded panegyrics of his contemporaries; 50 co- pies of laudatory verses are prefixed to the volume of his poems and plays, which was published ten years after his death. He had acquired great celebrity as a preacher, was witty, learned, a good French and Italian scholar, and gifted with a sound judgment, and a fine elocution. Wood's character of him is worth tran- scribing. He tells us, in one part of it, that "his preaching was so graceful and profound withal, that none of his time or age went beyond him. So that if the wits read his poems, divines his sermons, and philoso- phers his lectures on Aristotle's metaphy- sics, they would scarce believe that he died at a little above thirty years of age. But, that which is most remarkable is, that these, his high parts and abilities, were accompanied with so much candour and sweetness that they made him equally be- loved and admired of all persons." 22 Ben Jonson used to say of him, "My son, Cartwright, writes all like a man,"-and Dean Fell, "that he was the utmost man could come to." During his illness the King and Queen used to inquire constantly after him, and the former even put on mourning for him. There were published of Cartwright's compositions, besides the poems above re- ferred to, four dramatic pieces-" The Lady Errant," "The Ordinary," " Siege, or Love's Convert," and the "Royal Slave;" a Passion Sermon, under the title of "An Offspring of Mercy issuing out of the Womb of Cruelty," not printed until 1652;—and a poem on "The Signal Days in the month of November, in relation to the Crown and Royal Family," not printed until 1671;-also some verses, set to "Ayres for several Voices" by Henry Lawes ;-and Poemata, Græca et Latina. His "Royal Slave" was acted before the King and Queen at Oxford, by himself and fellow students, on the 30th of August, 1636, Busby (see Election, 1624) perform- ing the part of Cratander. The Queen was so pleased with the performance that she caused it to be represented by her own servants at Hampton Court, in the same Elected to Cambridge, A.D. 1629. Nicholas Stevenson.

The following account of the representation of this play is taken from a letter from George Evelyn to his father:- "The play being ended" (at St. John's), "he" (the King)" went to Christ Church, and after supper to another play, called the Royal Slave, all the actors performing in a Persian habite, which play delighted his Majesty, and all the nobles commending it as the best yt ever was acted."

According to Mather's Eccle- siastical History, from which Calamy's ac- count is taken, he possessed no very amiable disposition, and was removed from his trust in the college in America, in consequence of his cruelty towards the students, and of his other immoralities. This account, how- ever, must be received with some allowance for Mather's prejudices, as Eaton, on his return to England, conformed to the Esta- blished Church, and was presented to the rectory of Bideford. He died in the King's Bench, where he was imprisoned for debt. One Nathaniel Eaton-who is, doubtless, identical with this one-writes himself Doctor of philosophy and medicine, and vicar of Bishop's Castle, Salop, and pub- lished a book, "De Fastis Anglicanis," &c., in 1662.

[He was the son of Edmund Waring, of Lea, in Staffordshire, and of Owlbury, in Shropshire, and a native of the former county.

He was ordered into custody, but escaped this imprison- ment by flight. He was, however, ejected both from his professorship and his stu- dent's place on the 14th of September, 1648. Upon this, he retired to Sir William Whitmore's place at Apley, in Shropshire, and afterwards travelled in France for a year with that gentleman. He died on the 10th of May, in Lincoln's-Inn-Fields, and was buried in St. Michael's, College Hill, London. His election to the professorship was protested against on the ground of his being in holy orders. Waring, in 1646, published a small pamphlet, entitled "A Public Conference betwixt the Six Presbyterian Ministers and some Independent Commanders, held at Oxford on the 12th of November, 1646;" and, in 1648, "An Account of Mr. Pryn's Refutation of the University of Oxford's Plea, sent to a friend in a second letter from Oxford;"-and a sermon preached in St. Margaret's, Westminster, at the funeral of Mrs. Gray, in the beginning of November, 1654, but not published until 1672. He was also the author of a Latin essay, en- titled "Effigies amoris, sive Quid sit Amor? Efflagitanti, Responsum." It was printed anonymously, by Sir John Birkenhead, at the author's desire, in London, 1649: to the third and fourth edition, published by Mr. William Griffith, in 1664 and 1668, was appended Carmen Lapidarium memoriæ vatum principi, Ben Jonsoni, sacratum." It had already been printed, but very incor- rectly, in the "Jonsonius Virbius." Mr. Grimith, in his dedication to Sir John Birkenhead, and "Præloquium" to the reader, passes a great panegyric on Waring. Alluding to him, to Sir John Birkenhead, Cartwright (Election, 1628), and others, he says, "Hi numina erant Oxonii tute- laria." In 1682, Mr. John Norris, of All Souls, published a free translation of the "Effigies Amoris," which he called "the pic- ture of Love unveiled." He says, "that Waring is an author, who, for sweetness of 103 Elected to Oxford, A.D. 1631. William Loveledge'. Theophilus Andrewes 2. Cotton Gargrave 3. Richard Howe". fancy, neatness of style, and lusciousness of hidden sense, may compare, to say no more, with any extant." Other fugitive pieces of Waring's composition are to be met with in several of the collections of his time. Wood tells us that Waring "was a most excellent Latin and English poet, but a better orator, and was reckoned among the great wits of his time in the university." He was "withal a pious and religious man."-Ath. Ox. iii. 453-5, Fasti, i. 473. 492; Hist. and Antiq. ii. 513. 531-49. 558. 880, Appx. 133; Walker, ii. 106; Lowndes's Bibl.

[He was born in the parish of St. Martin's-le-Grand, where his father, also John Maplet, was "a sufficient shoemaker." He graduated as B.A. 1634; and was "ac- tually created" M.A. 1638, "being about to take a journey to his uncle in Holland." On the death of Cartwright (Election, 1628) Maplet was appointed proctor to the uni- versity, on the 9th of December, 1643;— took the degree of M.D. 1647, and was one of the delegates appointed to act in the name of the university on the arrival of the Parliamentary visitors. On the death of Degory Whear, in the autumn of 1647, he was nominated by the Marquis of Hertford, chancellor of the university, principal of Gloucester Hall, now called Worcester Col- lege; but being ejected thence by Lord Pembroke, the Parliamentarian chancellor, he spent two years in France as tutor to Lucius, Lord Falkland, on whose death he returned to England. He afterwards tra- velled, in a similar capacity, with Henry Cary (the brother of Lucius, and his suc- cessor in the title), through Holland and the Low Countries. On his return he prac- tised his faculty at Bath, in the summer, and at Bristol in the winter, and was much respected in those parts. In 1660, he was restored to the headship of Gloucester Hall, but shortly afterwards, probably in 1662, resigned that charge. He wrote several Latin poems in the collections made at Oxford, on different occasions, in 1633 and 1638, and on Oliver Cromwell's peace with the Dutch in 1654; but only one of his professional works appears to have been Elected to Cambridge, A.D. 1631.

Wall (see Election, 1604); a Latin account of his travels with his pupils; poems and epitaphs on several occasions and persons; and several other compositions. He died on the 4th of August, and lies buried in the church of St. Peter and St. Paul, at Bath, where a "comely monu- ment" was erected over his grave.

Croyden was, successively, student, censor, and canon and treasurer of Christ Church. From Padua he proceeded to Paris, in 1651, and was incorporated D.C.L. at Oxford, 1662. IHe was born at Wincanton, in Somerset- shire, and dying at Oxford, on the 14th of June, at the age of 64, was interred in P 106 Christ Church cathedral. On his tomb was placed an inscription, whence some of these facts have been taken, and which also describes him as "VIR (SI QUIS ALIUS) HUMANITATE, MODESTIA, ET ERGA PAUPERES BENEFICIENTIA INSIGNIS."

MORECOCKE wrote a copy of Latin verses, on the birth of the fifth child of Charles the First, in the Collection entitled “Συνωδία,” in 1637.] 7 R. MEAD, a captain in King Charles the First's army; agent for King Charles the Second in Sweden; doctor of physic, an eminent poet and dramatic writer; died, 1653. [The son of a stationer, in London, born at the Black Lion, in Fleet Street, and aged 18 when elected to Christ Church.- B.A. 1638;-M.A. 1641. He distinguished himself very much at the siege of Oxford, and was one of the Commissioners for negotiating its surrender to the Parliamentary forces, May 17, 1646. The successful relief of Abingdon, during the early part of the siege, in the same year, was attributed almost wholly to his gal- lantry. He was created M.D. June 23, 1646, the day before the surrender of Ox- ford, and was afterwards expelled from his studentship. He followed the King to France, and thence was sent to Sweden. After his mission to the latter country, he returned to his father's house, where he fell a victim to a malignant fever, February 21, 1652-3. He was buried in the church of St. Dunstan's in the West. He wrote, amongst other pieces of poetry, a copy of verses on Cowley's poetical blos- soms (see Election 1636), and "The Com- bate of Love and Friendship," a comedy of his which had been acted at Christ Church, was published, in 1654, after his death. In the Stationer's preface to the Reader, it is said that Mead's name was ornament enough for the title-page-" he having been a person whose eminent and general abili- ties have left him a character pretious and honourable to our Nation." Dr. Mead is described as "a learned man," and "a great lover of humility." Ath.

SAMWAIES, rector of Bedale and [also of] Wath, Yorkshire [1660]. He gave 107. per annum to the library of Tri- nity College, Cambridge; and 257. per an- num to the scholars annually elected thither from Westminster. [P. Samwaies was born in 1615, and the son of a person about the Court. He was tutor in his college from 1641 to 1652, and was appointed vicar of Cheshunt, Herts, by Lord Salisbury, but he was expelled from this benefice by the Par- liamentary visitors, for persisting in reading the Services of the Church of England. He was also expelled from his fellowship of Trinity, although his piety was held in respect even by his enemies. He was also rector of Malden, Beds, and published, in 1657, "The wise and faithful Steward," being a narration of the exemplary death. of a steward of Lord Elgin, who was buried at Malden. In 1659, he was the author of a work entitled, "Devotion di- gested, in discourses on the Lord's Prayer, Baptism," &c.; this he dedicated to Eliza- beth, Countess of Peterborough, to whom he was chaplain. He was created D.D. by royal mandate, in September, 1660; but was not restored to Cheshunt, probably because, on the last day of 1660, he was made rector both of Bedale and Wath. In 1668, he was presented to a prebendal stall at York. He died in April, 1693, at Bedale, where he was interred, as a simple epitaph in that church announces. Dr. Samwaies was a great benefactor to the parish of Wath, where he built and endowed a school; he also bequeathed, after the death of certain relations, an estate of fifty pounds a year to charitable purposes. Nor was he liberal only at his death, for he continued a bachelor, and spent the greater part of his income in charity. He resided entirely upon his two livings of Bedale and Wath (only six miles apart), excepting a short residence in York, and discharged with exemplary zeal, dili- gence, and singleness of mind, all the du- ties of his calling. He was a staunch sup- porter of the Church of England against the attacks of fanaticism and Popery, not only adhering scrupulously to her formula- ries, and giving his flock all the spiritual advantages which her ritual enjoins, but illustrating by his practice the principles which she inculcates. He freely rebuked. the rich and powerful for the immorality of their lives in that profligate age; and it is recorded of him, that he boldly disputed the doctrine of transubstantiation with James the Second, when Duke of York. He likewise fell under the displeasure of Bishop Cartwright (then administering the see of York), by refusing to read the King's de- 107 claration for liberty of conscience in 1688, and narrowly escaped a second ejection from his benefices. He further aided the cause of civil and religious liberty, by pub- lishing a letter, which had a considerable effect in persuading the clergy of his neigh- bourhood to take the oaths to King Wil- liam and Queen Mary; and he is said to have received, and declined, the offer of the bishoprick of Bath and Wells. He lived on intimate terms with the celebrated Dr. Isaac Barrow (see page 25), and with Arch- bishops Usher and Sancroft; the latter al- ways entertained him at Lambeth, when any occasion brought him to London. Dr. Samwaies published a work against the errors of Romanism, in 1663, and was the author of several other pious tracts. During his residence at Cambridge, he con- tributed his quota of verse to each of the following Collections of Poems printed by that university-" Carmen Natalitium," on the birth of the Princess Elizabeth, in 1635 ; Συνωδία,” "Evvodía," on the birth of Charles the First's fifth child, 1637; "Voces Vo- tivæ," on the birth of a Prince, 1640; and "Irenodia Cantabrigiensis," on the King's return from Scotland, 1641.-Cole's MSS., xlv. 265 and 460, and 1. 159; Ath.

GREISLEY, prebendary of Wor- cester, 1672; died, 1678. [The son of John. Greisley, Gent., of Shrewsbury;-B.A. 1638; -M.A. 1641. He was ejected from his studentship in 1648,-instituted rector of Severnstoke, near Worcester, Sept. 28, 1661, and installed a prebendary of Wor- cester, April 19, 1672. He was buried at Severnstoke, having died on the 8th of June, at the age of 63. There is a memorial of him and of his wife, a daughter of Ger- vase Buck, Esq., of Worcestershire, in the church at Severnstoke. There are extant of his several transla- tions from the French, and some other pieces of poetry, which Wood says "have obtained him a place among those of that faculty." One of them was a con- tribution to the Christ Church Poems on the death of Viscount Bayning, in 1638; and another is in the "Horti Carolini, Rosa Altera," after the Queen had given birth to a son, in 1640.-Ath.

Sir Edwin Sandys, the second son of the Archbishop of York, had seven sons, all of whom, with one excep- tion, "proved zealous Parliamenteers at the beginning of the rebellion," in 1642. The third son was called Richard, and is very possibly the one mentioned here.-Ath. Ox. ii. 474.] 11 W. TOWERS, prebendary of Peter- borough, 1642. [A" loyal and religious person," son of Dr. John Towers, Bishop of Peterborough, and aged 17 at the time of his election from Westminster; B.A. 1638; M.A. 1641; B.D. 1646;-installed at Peter- borough, April 20, 1641; was also rector of Barnack, Northamptonshire; but Walker asserts that he derived no profits from this living, nor yet from his stall, being com- pelled to take refuge with the garrison at Oxford; and, when Oxford fell into the hands of the Parliamentary forces, to seek small employments for a livelihood; among such we find him serving the curacy of Upton, near Northampton. He was sub- sequently befriended by Lord Newport, re- possessed of his preferments in 1660; and, moreover, appointed rector of Fishberton, near Lincoln. - Towers died whilst on a visit at Uffing- ton, in Lincolnshire, October 20, 1666, and was buried there; a short inscription, which had been put over his grave in the chancel of that church, was removed when the chancel was repaired. He published two treatises against Atheists-"Atheismus Vapulans," in 1654, but it had before been printed anonymously; "Polytheismus Vapulans," printed with the former work, and several sermons. Two may be quoted as having been referred to, and as preached upon remarkable topics. One, published in 1655, against murder, "by occasion of the Romanists putting the Protestants to death in the Dukedome of Savoy." The dedication to Sir Hanbury and Lady Tracy, as an apology for publication, says, "This was the last sermon preach't in your church before I finally understood, that after all the endeavours of you both, and my own frequent attendance upon others, I may not obtain leave to be a constant preacher there." Another passage states, that the pittance he received for this cure, although very small, was necessary to his livelihood. The other sermon was preached to Mr. Peter Gunning's congregation, in Exeter Street, Strand, on June 28, 1660, being the day appointed as a thanksgiving for the Restoration. It is dedicated to the King: Towers styles himself in the title-page Curate of Upton. A copy of English verses by him was prefixed to Cartwright's Poems; and there is another in the Charisteria, addressed to the Queen, upon her confine- P 2 108 Elected to Oxford, A.D. 1635.

His name is found in Cole's MSS., with the names of the other scholars elected from Westminster to Cambridge in this year, but without any further notice, but that he was admitted a scholar in 1636. From a search made in the books of the University of Oxford, by the Rev. Greville Phillimore-in which Dr. Bliss assisted with his usual kindness-it appeared that Richard Llydall, born in Ox- fordshire, the son of John Llydall, of Ux- more, in that county, was matriculated of Oriel College, January 9, 1637, being then 17 years old. He was afterwards elected a Fellow of Merton;-accumulated the de- grees of M.B. and M.D. in 1656;-was ad- mitted Warden of Merton, November 27, 1693; and continued in that office until his death, at the age of 84, on the 5th of March, 1703-4. We learn from the inscription on his monument, that Dr. Llydall sprang from an ancient family settled at Liddesdale, on the borders of Cumberland, and that he served in the King's army during the civil wars. On the 18th of September, 1649, he was punished by the visitors, together with other fellows of Merton, for an outbreak of loyalty on the Gaudy day, in the preceding November. He was much beloved at Merton, and a great benefactor to the college. Having been nominated one of the executors to the will of Alexander Fisher, a fellow of the college, who had bequeathed money for adorning the east window of Merton cha- pel with painted glass, he added liberally to the sum originally devoted to this pur- pose by Fisher.-Cole's MSS., xlv. 264, 1. 159; Fasti Ox. ii. 193; Hist. and Antiq. ii. pt. ii. 627, iii. 15. 18. 30.] 6 S. JACKSON, a doctor of physic; an officer in the King's army; died, 1674. [He was the son of an apothecary at Ox- ford; and, after he had taken his M.A. de- gree, he himself practised the medical pro- fession in, and about, Oxford. His loyalty prompted him to take up arms for the King during the rebellion, and he suffered ex- pulsion from his studentship, on that ac- count, July 6, 1648. He was reinstated in his student's place at the Restoration, and was created M.D., in consequence of a Royal Mandate, June 27, 1671. Dr. Jackson died 109 Elected to Oxford, A.D. 1636. Richard Tray.

[Martin Llewellyn, Lluellyn, or Lluelyn, the seventh son of a father of the same names as himself, was born in London, December 12, 1616, probably in the parish of Little St. Bartholomew, near Smithfield, for he was baptized in that church, on the 22nd of the same month. B.A. 1640, M.A. 1643. On being deprived of his studentship, November 2, 1648, he went to London, where, it is said, that "he prosecuted his genius as much to physic as he had done to poetry." In 1653, he had sufficient interest with those in power to be allowed to take the degree of M.D. at the university. He returned to Oxford in July, 1660, as one of the Commissioners for re- storing such as had been unjustly expelled from their colleges. He had been himself admitted Principal of St. Mary Hall, June 21, 1660, on the removal of Thomas Cole (see Election, 1646). He gave up the Head- ship of St. Mary's when he quitted the university, and removed to Wycombe, at the end of December, 1664. He became a magistrate for the county of Bucks, and "behaved himself," says Wood, "severe against the fanatics;" but the writer of the Life of Dr. Isaac Milles, vicar during some years of that place, gives a most favor- able account of Llewellyn's skill in his profession, of "the singular integrity of his life and manners," and of the "univer- sal esteem" in which he was held by all who knew him. Dr. Llewellyn was reckoned a good poet. A collection of his poems was made in 1646. This small volume, which he dedicated to 66 the Duke of York, consists of " Men Mi- racles," a poem; "Divers Poems;" "Satyrs;" "Elegies;" "Divine Poems." Most of the poems are addressed to friends and fellow- students, and celebrated characters in the university; but as, for the most part, only the initials of the former class are given, it is impossible to say for whom many of them were intended-one, however, is for Dean Fell (Election 1601). One of the ele- gies is on Robert Burton, "Democritus junior," another on W. Cartwright (Elec- tion 1628); others are on the deaths of eminent men of the Royalist party- the gallant Sir Bevile Greenville, Arch- bishop Laud, &c. Many show considerable ability. Some commendatory Latin verses by him occur at the end of the first edition of Christopher Bennet's "Theatrum Tabi- dorum," in 1654. He assisted also in cele- brating "the noble deserts of Viscount Bayning," in 1638, and wrote some verses among the Oxford Poems on the death of the Princess of Orange, 1660. In the same year, too, he published a poem on the Re- storation, and an Elegy on the death of the Duke of Gloucester; and, in 1672, a satire against a rival physician, a Quaker, by whom his practice at Wycombe had been diminished. It is surmised also, from some allusions found in his works, that he was the author of some plays, but their titles are unknown. He subscribed 20l. to- wards the new buildings at Christ Church after the Restoration. Llewellyn died on the 17th of March, 1681-2, and was buried at High Wycombe. A monument was erected to him there. The inscription upon it, which was written by Dr. Milles, gives a long history of his life. We learn from it that he had seven children, two by his first wife, and five by his second, who survived him.-Ath.

Specimens of his versification will be found in the collections of poems which were made at Cambridge, on the birth of a child to Charles the First, in 1637, and in 1640; and he also assisted in celebrating the King's return from Scotland in 1641, by a contribution to the "Irenodia Canta- brigiensis," before alluded to.- Cole's MSS., xlv. 264. 460, 1. 159, Athenæ, Y. 7; Fasti Ox. ii. 71; Walker, ii. 161.] 5 A. COWLEY, the celebrated poet; born, 1611; died, 1667. [A brief sketch of the life of one of our great national poets has already been given at page 60 of this work. The course of these annals now leads us to another, than whom few have ever given such early promise of future poetical genius; fewer still more completely satis- fied the expectations of their own contem- poraries. Cowley, perhaps, during his life- time, enjoyed as great a share of popu- larity as ever fell to the lot of any British poet. "Delicia, Decus et Desiderium Evi Sui," were not exaggerated terms when ap- plied to him, and, if posterity has been less indiscriminate in panegyric, it has attri- buted his faults to the bad taste of his age, and still, from "love to the language of his heart," awards him a liberal measure of fame. "Yet surely, surely, these were famous men! What boy but hears the sayings of Old Ben? In all debates where Critics bear a part, Not one but nods, and talks of Jonson's Art, Of Shakespeare's Nature and of Cowley's Wit." Cowley was born in Fleet Street, London, after the death of his father, who, accord- 66 ing to Wood, was a grocer, and also, ac- cording to the supposition of Dr. Johnson, a sectary; but his friend and biographer, Bishop Sprat (see page 27), only tells us that his parents were citizens of a vir- tuous life and sufficient estate ;"-the same authority says, "The first years of his youth were spent in Westminster School, where he soon obtain'd and increas'd the noble genius peculiar to that place." His genius was precocious, and his diligence great; for he wrote his "Piramus and Thisbe," when only 10 years old, and his "Constantia and Philetus" when only 12. The former of these was dedicated to his master, Lambert Osbaldston (Election 1612). They were published with an Elegy on Lord Dorchester (Election 1591), and some other pieces, in 1633, when he was only 15, under the title of "Poetical Blossomes," and with a dedication to Bishop Williams, then Dean of Westminster. At Westminster, too, he wrote his comedy of "Love's Riddles," and his elegy upon the tragical fate of the two sons of Sir Thomas Lyttelton, drowned at Oxford, the elder in attempting to save the younger, May 9, 1635. The cause of his being rejected at the time of election has not been ascertained, for, he was removed from Westminster to Cambridge, and made a scholar of Trinity in 1636;-took the degree of B.A. 1639;- was chosen a minor fellow of Trinity, 1640, and a major fellow in 1642; he proceeded M.A. of Cambridge in due course. In 1644, he was ejected from his fellowship by the Parliamentary visitors, and took refuge at St. John's College, Oxford. Here he con- tinued his studies, published an anonymous satire, called "The Puritan and the Papist," and assisted the Oxford garrison in their military operations. He quitted Oxford for France shortly before the city was given up to the forces of the Parlia- ment. His military services and his powers of composition had made him well known to the court, and an intimacy had sprung between him and Lord Falkland. When up he arrived at Paris, he was received into the family of the Earl of St. Albans (then Lord Jermyn), to whom he was introduced by Mr. John Hervey, the brother of his friend, Mr. William Hervey, whose elegy he had written, when at Cam- bridge. He was employed confidentially in the service of the royal family during the ten years of his absence from England, and gave undoubted proofs of his fidelity, and of his aptitude for public business. He was a chief instrument in maintaining the correspondence between Charles the First and his Queen, cyphering and decy- 111 phering with his own hand almost all their letters. He also made journeys into Hol- land, Flanders, Jersey and Scotland for the royal cause. Cowley returned to England in 1656, being deputed to inquire into the prospects of the King's party; the better to conceal the object of his coming, it was arranged that he was to study physic. He was soon detected, imprisoned, and only released on procuring bail to a large amount. He pur- sued his assumed profession for some time, and was even created M.D. at Oxford, De- cember 2, 1657; and it suggested to him the subject of his six Books of Plants. He returned to France after the death of Crom- well, and "remained there, in the same station as before, till near the time of the King's return." Such is the account Bishop Sprat has given of this portion of his life, as less friendly persons had accused him of some base compliances to obtain the degree of M.D. He came back to England at the Resto- ration, but either refused all the offers of ad- vancement in public life, to which his ser- vices to the crown might have entitled him, or else could not obtain such as he wished to accept. One place, indeed, the mastership of the Savoy, promised by Charles the First and Charles the Second," he lost by certain persons, enemies to the Muses." Hence the epithet, "Savoy-missing Cowley,' in a satirical poem on the choice of a laureate. He had always had a fancy for complete retirement, and, before the Restoration, had contemplated a retreat to America. He now withdrew to Barn-elms, and lived there until his patrons, the Duke of Buckingham and Lord St. Albans, conferred on him a comfortable independence, by procuring for him the lease of a farm at Chertsey. He died at the Porch House in that village, July 28, 1667. His body was carried to Wallingford House, Whitehall, and thence removed to its place of interment by the graves of Chaucer and Spenser, in West- minster Abbey, where the Duke of Buck- ingham, in 1675, erected a monument to him, for which Bishop Sprat wrote the in- scription. Cowley was admitted at Cambridge "ad eundem gradum apud nos quo fuit apud Oxonienses," July 11, 1664. 66 When quite a young man at Cambridge, he finished the greatest part of his "Davideis;" he also wrote two comedies, one in Latin, Naufragium Joculare," acted before the Prince of Wales at Cambridge, in 1638; and "The Guardian," represented on a si- milar occasion, and published surrepti- tiously in 1650: the latter he remodelled, and brought out on the stage, but without success, under the title of " Cutter of Cole- man Street," in 1663. For the details of the other varied productions of his prolific genius, ample information is furnished in Bishop Sprat's life of our poet, and in Dr. Johnson's masterly account of his life, and review of his works; much also may be gathered from the several notices of them written in Cowley's own beautiful prose. Dr. Sprat's Latin life of Cowley was de- dicated to Martin Clifford (Election 1640), and appeared prefixed to Cowley's Latin Poems, in 1668. The one in English, quoted in this memoir, being somewhat enlarged from the Latin one, was placed before the first edition of his works, pub- lished by the bishop, in accordance with Cowley's will, in 1669; a fourth edition of this folio appeared in 1674. In Nichols's illustrations of the literary history of the eighteenth century there is a letter from Cowley, accompanying the presentation of his two Books of Plants to Dr. Busby, in 1662. It is couched in the most affectionate and respectful terms. There are two portraits of Cowley in the Bodleian Gallery, one of them by Sir Godfrey Kneller; and there was a very fine picture of him by Sir P. Lely, at Strawberry Hill. A portrait of him, æt. 15, is prefixed to his "Love's Riddle," 1638. This sketch of the events of Cowley's life would be incomplete if it omitted to notice that which is indeed his highest praise, that, in a scoffing and dissolute age, he was a Christian, not by profession only, but in practice also ;-" obedient," to use Bishop Sprat's words, "to the use and precepts of our church;" devoting his talents to the cause of religion, by "submitting his mor- tal wit to heavenly truths;" "deserving more applause from the most virtuous of men, than he ever obtained from the most learned;" or, as it is pithily summed up in Dr. Johnson's criticism upon his epitaph, -"a man whose learning and poetry were his lowest merits."-Cole's MSS., xlv. 240. 264. 460, Fasti Ox. ii. 209-13; Hist. and Antiq.

Specimens of his versification will be found in the collections of poems which were made at Cambridge, on the birth of a child to Charles the First, in 1637, and in 1640; and he also assisted in celebrating the King's return from Scotland in 1641, by a contribution to the "Irenodia Canta- brigiensis," before alluded to.

[A brief sketch of the life of one of our great national poets has already been given at page 60 of this work. The course of these annals now leads us to another, than whom few have ever given such early promise of future poetical genius; fewer still more completely satis- fied the expectations of their own contem- poraries. Cowley, perhaps, during his life- time, enjoyed as great a share of popu- larity as ever fell to the lot of British any poet. "Delicia, Decus et Desiderium Ævi Sui," were not exaggerated terms when ap- plied to him, and, if posterity has been less indiscriminate in panegyric, it has attri- buted his faults to the bad taste of his age, and still, from "love to the language of his heart," awards him a liberal measure of fame. "Yet surely, surely, these were famous men! What boy but hears the sayings of Old Ben? In all debates where Critics bear a part, Not one but nods, and talks of Jonson's Art, Of Shakespeare's Nature and of Cowley's Wit." Cowley was born in Fleet Street, London, after the death of his father, who, accord- ing to Wood, was a grocer, and also, ac- cording to the supposition of Dr. Johnson, a sectary; but his friend and biographer, Bishop Sprat (see page 27), only tells us that "his parents were citizens of a vir- tuous life and sufficient estate ;"-the same authority says, "The first years of his youth were spent in Westminster School, where he soon obtain'd and increas'd the noble genius peculiar to that place." His genius was precocious, and his diligence great; for he wrote his "Piramus and Thisbe," when only 10 years old, and his "Constantia and Philetus" when only 12. The former of these was dedicated to his master, Lambert Osbaldston (Election 1612). They were published with an Elegy on Lord Dorchester (Election 1591), and some other pieces, in 1633, when he was only 15, under the title of "Poetical Blossomes," and with a dedication to Bishop Williams, then Dean of Westminster. At Westminster, too, he wrote his comedy of "Love's Riddles," and his elegy upon the tragical fate of the two sons of Sir Thomas Lyttelton, drowned at Oxford, the elder in attempting to save the younger, May 9, 1635. The cause of his being rejected at the time of election has not been ascertained, for, he was removed from Westminster to Cambridge, and made a scholar of Trinity in 1636;-took the degree of B.A. 1639;- was chosen a minor fellow of Trinity, 1640, and a major fellow in 1642; he proceeded M.A. of Cambridge in due course. In 1644, he was ejected from his fellowship by the Parliamentary visitors, and took refuge at St. John's College, Oxford. Here he con- tinued his studies, published an anonymous satire, called "The Puritan and the Papist," and assisted the Oxford garrison in their military operations. He quitted Oxford for France shortly before the city was given up to the forces of the Parlia- ment. His military services and his powers of composition had made him well known to the court, and an intimacy had sprung up between him and Lord Falkland. When he arrived at Paris, he was received into the family of the Earl of St. Albans (then Lord Jermyn), to whom he was introduced by Mr. John Hervey, the brother of his friend, Mr. William Hervey, whose elegy he had written, when at Cam- bridge. He was employed confidentially in the service of the royal family during the ten years of his absence from England, and gave undoubted proofs of his fidelity, and of his aptitude for public business. He was a chief instrument in maintaining the correspondence between Charles the First and his Queen, cyphering and decy- 111 phering with his own hand almost all their letters. He also made journeys into Hol- land, Flanders, Jersey and Scotland for the royal cause. Cowley returned to England in 1656, being deputed to inquire into the prospects of the King's party; the better to conceal the object of his coming, it was arranged that he was to study physic. He was soon detected, imprisoned, and only released on procuring bail to a large amount. He pur- sued his assumed profession for some time, and was even created M.D. at Oxford, De- cember 2, 1657; and it suggested to him the subject of his six Books of Plants. He returned to France after the death of Crom- well, and "remained there, in the same station as before, till near the time of the King's return." Such is the account Bishop Sprat has given of this portion of his life, as less friendly persons had accused him of some base compliances to obtain the degree of M.D. He came back to England at the Resto- ration, but either refused all the offers of ad- vancement in public life, to which his ser- vices to the crown might have entitled him, or else could not obtain such as he wished to accept. One place, indeed, the mastership of the Savoy, promised by Charles the First and Charles the Second," he lost by certain persons, enemies to the Muses." Hence the epithet, "Savoy-missing Cowley," in a satirical poem on the choice of a laureate. He had always had a fancy for complete retirement, and, before the Restoration, had contemplated a retreat to America. He now withdrew to Barn-elms, and lived there until his patrons, the Duke of Buckingham and Lord St. Albans, conferred on him a comfortable independence, by procuring for him the lease of a farm at Chertsey. He died at the Porch House in that village, July 28, 1667. His body was carried to Wallingford House, Whitehall, and thence removed to its place of interment by the graves of Chaucer and Spenser, in West- minster Abbey, where the Duke of Buck- ingham, in 1675, erected a monument to him, for which Bishop Sprat wrote the in- scription. Cowley was admitted at Cambridge "ad eundem gradum apud nos quo fuit apud Oxonienses," July 11, 1664. 66 When quite a young man at Cambridge, he finished the greatest part of his "Davideis;" he also wrote two comedies, one in Latin, Naufragium Joculare," acted before the Prince of Wales at Cambridge, in 1638; and "The Guardian," represented on a si- milar occasion, and published surrepti- tiously in 1650: the latter he remodelled, and brought out on the stage, but without success, under the title of "Cutter of Cole- man Street," in 1663.

[G. Oldisworth, or Oldsworth,-the son of Ro- bert Oldisworth, Esq., and Miriel, a sister of Sir Thos. Overbury,-was born at Coln- Rogers, in Gloucestershire, in 1619. He took the degree of B.A. at Cambridge in 1642, and was shortly afterwards deprived of his scholarship. Upon this he went to Ox- ford, where he was "actually created" M.A. July 20, 1646, by virtue of the chancellor's letters written in his behalf, and read in convocation. He was then rector of Bour- ton, a living in the gift of the Overbury family. It does not appear whether he was ejected from this living during the civil wars; but, if he was, he was restored to it in 1660. It is probable, too, from the grate- ful tone of the dedication of one of his works to the King, that he had received some preferment from his Majesty. This work bears the title of "The Stone rolled away, and Life more abundant; an Apologie urging Self-Denial, New-Obedience, Faith and Thankfulness. A funeral sermon is introduced into the middle of it. It was published in 1663. He also printed some sermons, and a poem, called "Sir Thos. Overbury's Wife unvail'd," &c.; and, "ad eruditissimos sacrorum Bibliorum Polyglot- torum compilatores Poema." Wood says of the "Stone rolled away," that although it contains " many trivial, impertinent, and weak passages," yet it shows that the author had some considerable reading in the fathers," and other old authors ;" and was "honest, loyal, and a zealous stickler to his capacity for the establishment of the Church of England in its whole constitu- tion." "9 G. Oldisworth died on the 24th of No- vember, and was buried in the chancel of Bourton Church.-Fasti Ox. ii. 95; Walker, ii. 161-2; Kennett's Reg. and Chron. 385.] 3 [E. UNDERWOOD, an eminent tutor at Christ Church, expelled from his student- ship, Nov. 2, 1648. Philip Henry (see Election 1647) was among his pupils, and says that "he often bewailed" Underwood's expulsion "as an ill to him, for he was a good scholar, that made it his business to look after his pupils."

As his name is placed second in order both in the list, given in Cole's MSS., and in the But- tery Book, it has been so placed here.- Cole's MSS., xlv. 264.] 5 J. QUIN. He was turned out of his student's place by the visitors; but being introduced accidentally to Oliver Crom- well, the Protector was so pleased with his company (Quin being a musical man) that he was restored to his studentship, which he kept to his death. (Vid. Wood's Life.) [The following is Wood's account of Quin's interview with Cromwell :-"He heard him sing with very great delight, liquored him with sack, and in conclusion said, 'Mr. Quin, you have done very well, what shall I doe for you?' To which Quin made answer, with great complements, of which he had a command with a great grace, that 'your Highness would be pleased to restore him to his student's place,' which he did accordingly, and so kept it to his dying day." Wood, who had some acquaintance with him, and had "heard him sing several times with great admiration," gives more credit to the power of a fine bass voice than to any musical skill he possessed, for he "could scarce sing in consort. His father, Walter Quin, was born in Dublin, though he afterwards lived in Scotland, and was preceptor to Prince Henry, and an author. James Quin was born in Middlesex, be- came a Master of Arts, and, dying mad at his bedmaker's in Penny-farthing Street, was buried in Christ Church cathedral in October, 1659. There is a copy of Latin verses of his in the "Oxonia Eucharistica," on the return of the King from Scotland, in 1641; and another, in 1654, in the "Elacopopia," on the peace with Holland.- Wood's Life, xxxix; Hist. and Antiq. iii. 511.] 6 T.

[John, eldest son of William Dolben (see Election, 1603), was born at Stanwick, March 24, 1624-5. At 12 years old, he was admitted a king's scholar, and was only 15 when he was elected to Christ Church. He entered into the King's service in which he rose to the rank of major; was severely wounded at the battle of Marston Moor, and again at the siege of York. When the army was disbanded, he resumed his studies, and without taking the degree of B.A., took that of M.A. by accumulation, December 9, 1647. In 1648, the Parliamentary visitors deprived him of his studentship. He was ordained in 1656, and was among those who (as already men- tioned at page 24), in spite of the prohibi- tions of the Parliamentary authorities, con- tinued to read the services of the Church of England, as prescribed by the Rubric, until the Restoration. After that event, he soon obtained preferments, through the influence of Archbishop Sheldon, whose niece he had married. He was, accordingly, installed canon of Christ Church, July 27, 1660, and, with his fellow labourers in the good cause, Fell and Allestree, was created D.D. October 3. He likewise became, in 1660, rector of Newington cum Britwell, Oxon.; prebendary of St. Paul's in 1661; arch- deacon of London, and vicar of St. Giles's, Cripplegate, in 1662. He resigned all his parochial benefices on being made dean of Westminster, and his stall at St. Paul's, when he was raised to the episcopal bench. He was prolocutor of the Lower House of Convocation in 1664. Dr. Dolben was consecrated bishop of Rochester, November 25, 1666, and trans- lated to the archiepiscopal see of York Q 2 116 Aug. 6, 1683; and thus, by a very singular coincidence, he was made archbishop of that province, in the chief city of which he had held the chief command as a military officer. He died of the small-pox at Bishopsthorpe, on the 11th of April, and was interred in his own cathedral. A sumptuous monu- ment was erected to him, the epitaph for which was the composition of L. Welstead (Election 1667). He is represented as endowed with great talents, both natural and acquired, as frank and generous in his disposition, and of un- daunted courage. His eloquence was dis- played both in the pulpit and in the House of Lords, where he had considerable in- fluence. He is celebrated by Dryden in "Absalom and Achitophel," as- "Him of the Western Dome, whose weighty sense Flows in fit words, and heavenly eloquence." It is related of his power of preaching extempore that, one day the preacher in the Abbey, having delivered his text and the heads of his sermon, was taken ill, and that Dolben finished the discourse for him, treating the subject according to the heads which had been proposed. His benefactions were large and nume- rous, he gave money to repair Christ Church, University College, St. Paul's, and Westminster Abbey in 1660; he rebuilt the palace at Bromley; he also gave the pulpit in Stanwick Church. In his diocese of York, he expended money upon Bishops- thorpe Palace, and gave 195 ounces of plate to the Minster; he likewise greatly re- formed the administration of the service in that cathedral. Whilst dean of West- minster, he firmly upheld the jurisdiction belonging to that church; and, on the day of his installation, the chapter agreed, at his request, though not without considerable opposition, "to make the fabric of the church an equal sharer with the preben- daries in their dividends of fines.' Archbishop Dolben's portrait is in the Hall, and in the Chapter-house at Christ Church, and his arms are engraven on the roof of the gate-house. There is also a mezzotinto engraving of the archbishop, representing him as reading the Church Service with Doctors Fell and Allestree; it was taken from a picture by Sir P. Lely. There is a copy of verses by him in the "Oxonia Eucharistica " on the return of Charles the First from Scotland in 1661, and another in the Oxford collection on the death of the Princess of Orange in 1660, besides which, his only publications, were a few sermons preached by him on special occasions. Burnet disliked him, and has not done justice to his character; but Evelyn feel- ingly laments his loss. He was father to Sir Gilbert Dolben (Election 1674).-Ath. Ox. iv. 188-90; Hist. and Antiq.

[The author of Strictures on Dryden's Poems, published in four letters; it is not known when they were begun, but the last was dated from the Charter House, July 1, 1672, and complains of Dryden's silence upon the others; so that it is pro- bable that, if not printed at that time, copies of them had been freely circulated. The only known edition of them was printed, with some "Reflections on the Hind and the Pan- ther, by another hand," in 1687. Sir Walter Scott describes these Letters as coarse and scurrilous, and not equal to the author's reputation as a scholar and a wit. Clifford also joined the Duke of Buckingham in writing Criticisms on the rhyming plays of that great poet, and his share in the "Rehearsal" was a considerable one; it is thus alluded to in the fourth stanza of the Session of the Poets: "Intelligence was brought the Court being sat, That a play tripartite was very near made, Where malicious Matt Clifford and Spiritual Sprat Were joined with their Duke, a Peer of the trade." In 1676, he wrote a Treatise on Human Reason, which occasioned the production of many pamphlets. He was a man of quick parts, a polite scholar, and intimate with all the wits of his day. Bishop Sprat dedicated to him the life of Cowley, who was their common friend (See Election, 1636). He took the degree of B.A. at Cambridge in 1643; was appointed Master of the Charter House in 1671; and died in 1677.

He had a cure in Devonshire during the Rebellion, but was soon deprived of it. His loyal conduct was but ill rewarded at the Restoration; for Walker says at his death he held no preferment but the small vicarage of Autery (Ottery ?), Devonshire. He was author of the following couplet, made extempore, on the Palace of the Louvre. Louvra Domus, Dominus Ludovicus, Regia Rege Digna suo; coelo est hæc minor, ille Deo.

He took the degree of B.A. 1647; and was expelled from his student's place in July, 1648, having given in the following answer to the visitors :- - "My name's Whitehall, God bless the Poet; If I submit, the King shall know it; but a short time after this effusion, "by cringing to Richard Ingoldsby, the regi- cide," Whitehall was made a fellow of Merton; M.A. 1652, and Terræ Filius, 1655.

His works consist chiefly of congratulatory odes. وو His "Marriage of Arts and Arms" was occasioned by the vice-chancellor calling in the soldiery to quell the disturbances conse- quent on the restoration of the Act, after a discontinuance of that ceremony for some years. He published some prints of the Old and New Testament, which he had col- lected in Holland, at a great expense, under each of which he wrote six explanatory verses; then had them richly bound, and presented to the King, and to several persons of quality.

[Adam Lit- tleton, one of the ancient family which claims descent from the celebrated lawyer of this name,—was the son of the Rev. Thomas Littleton, and born at his father's vicarage of Hale's Owen, in Shropshire, on the 2nd of November, 1627. He took a decided part against the Par- liamentary visitors; and in 1648 ridi- culed their proceedings in a Latin poem entitled "Tragi-Comoedia Oxoniensis," some, however, ascribed this piece to John Car- rick (see Election, 1647). He was expelled from the University, November 2, 1648; but does not appear to have been so rigo- rously treated as most of his companions in misfortune, for he was allowed to become an usher at Westminster, and "taught school" at other places, before he succeeded to the post of second master there. In After the Restoration, he pursued his calling of schoolmaster at Chelsea. 1670, he accumulated the degrees in divi- nity, and brought with him a letter from Dr. Henchman, Bishop of London, in which he is called "Vir egregiè doctus, multiplici literaturâ excultus, eoque doctis bonisq. plurimi factus est et adamatus, tum ob singularem eruditionem, humanitatem, morumq. suavitatem, tum ob vitam incul- patam et piè institutam, in concionando facultatem promptam et exquisitum in- genium." He was licensed to the church of St. Botolph's, Aldersgate, in 1685, and served this cure for four years. He was also chap- lain to the Prince Palatine. Littleton was a good mathematician, and well skilled in Oriental languages and Rab- binical learning. He collected books and MSS. from all parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa, to the great impoverishment of his 121 estate. His Latin Dictionary appeared in 1673, another edition in 1678, another in 1695, and a sixth edition a few months be- fore Ainsworth's was published. The edi- tions of 1678 and 1695 were much enlarged, and were accompanied with chronological tables of events down to his own time. He alludes in the preface to his "worthy pro- genitor who wrote the Tenures." The work is ornamented with an engraving of the "Bibliotheca Palatina." وو In 1680, he published "Sixty-one Ser- mons, preached mostly upon publick occa- sions"-this collection included three already printed on separate occasions. He had laboured much at a Greek Lexicon, but died before its completion. He also published some theological tracts and other learned works, and, in 1683, under the name of Redman Westcot, an English transla- tion, with copious notes, of an an "ob- scure and intricate book by Mr. Selden,' called "Jani Anglorum facies altera." He wrote alsothe preface to Cicero's works, as edited by Gale (Election 1655), 1681. Collier says that his erudition procured for him the title of "The Great Dic- tator of Learning," and that he was "cha- ritable to a fault, easy of access, wonder- fully communicative of his rare learning and knowledge, facetious and pleasant in conversation, never ruffled with passion,' "endued with a strong habit of body made for noble undertakings, of a clean and venerable countenance. In short, he was a gentleman, a divine, and a scholar, as excellent and polite as any of the age. * * * 22 وو He had received from King Charles the Second a grant of the reversion of the head mastership of Westminster School, upon the death of Dr. Busby.

There is a poem of his in the Oxford col- lection made in 1661, after the death of the Princess of Orange. There existed a tradition in his family that, having been detected in a plot against the Protector, and forced to fly the country, he attached himself to a party of buccaneers until the Restoration. He was then made chaplain to the Earl of Ossory; and it would seem that he was present with his patron in the Duke of York's naval ac- tion with the Dutch; at least in a MS. note of Wood, quoted by Dr. Bliss, he is said to be "the famous and valiant sea- chaplain and seaman" who is celebrated in Sir John Birkenhead's ballad on the fight with the Dutch :- "His Chaplayne he plyed his wonted work, He pray'd like a Christian, and fought like a Turk, Crying, now for the King and the Duke of York; With a thump, a thump, thump."

Ox. iv. 824. 826.] 16], 10 W. POPE, afterwards of Wadham College, Oxford, 1660; astronomy professor in Gresham College, 1660; F.R.S. [May 20] 1663; registrar of Chester [March 1668. [He was half-brother, by the mother's side, to Dr. Wilkins, Bishop of Chester (see page 22), and, like that prelate, was born at Fawsley, Northamptonshire, of which their common grandfather, Dr. Dod (surnamed the Decalogist, from a treatise he had written on the Ten Command- ments), was rector. To the Bishop of Chester, and to another friend, Dr. Seth Ward, Bishop of Salisbury, he owed much of his advancement in life. He does not appear to have been admitted a scholar of Trinity, but, almost immediately after his election from Westminster, he removed from Cambridge to Oxford, where he proceeded B.A. of Wadham, in 1649. He was made a scholar of that college, and, although op- posed to the principles of the Parliamentary visitors, was admitted by them a proba- tionary fellow of Wadham, 1651; in that year, he took the degree of M.A. He served the office of proctor to the University in 1658, and successfully resisted the attempts of the vice-chancellor and E. Bagshaw (see the next Election) to abolish the academical distinctions of caps and hoods. In his life of Bishop Ward (chapter 6) he has given a full account of this transaction, and of his interview with Bagshaw. His firmness certainly carried the day. The vice-chan- cellor and his supporters were not only outvoted in convocation, but their subse- quent attempt to bully the proctors into an admission that the question had been decided in their favor, was defeated. Pope R 2 124 says "Sumo Superbiam quæsitam meritis," and again, "meminisse juvat, that I stood in the gap." The result was, that the makers and sellers of these articles never had such a sale, for those who never cared about caps and gowns before appeared in them directly, and he adds, " that he never saw, either before or since, such a number of persons in their academical dress in St. Mary's, as on the Sunday following the discussion." Towards the close of his year of office, he obtained leave to travel;-was absent until 1660, when he returned to perform the duties of dean of Wadham. He was "actually created " M.D. September 12, 1661. He had, on the 8th of March preceding, been appointed to the profes- sorship in Gresham College; and was, therefore, on the 27th of June, in the fol- lowing year, obliged to give up his fellow- ship. In 1663, he again went abroad for two years, and transmitted the observa- tions made on his tour through Italy to the Royal Society. Having been one of the earliest fellows of that society, he was chosen a member of their council in 1667, and again in 1669; but he withdrew from it altogether in 1699. He was a constant attendant at the meetings held at Ox- ford for the advancement of science, re- ferred to at pp. 22-3, 27, which preceded the formation of the Royal Society. He resigned his professorship, September 21, 1687. At first, he retired to the neighbour- hood of Epsom, but, latterly, he settled in Bunhill Fields, where he died, and was buried in St. Giles', Cripplegate, on the 25th of June, 1714. Dr. Pope was a man of wit and learning; a good classical scholar, and an excellent modern linguist. In his memoirs of Claude Du Vall-hanged for highway robbery in 1669-he satirized the taste for heroes of that description, and especially for French ones, then prevalent among English ladies. The best known of his productions is "The Wish," a lively and entertaining ballad, translated into Latin verse, by the classical pen of "Vinny Bourne" (Elec- tion 1714); the quarto edition in the British Museum bears the date of 1697, and is illustrated by notes, and quotations from Dutch, Italian, and Latin authors; but Wood mentions the publication, in 1693, of a folio edition, and, in 1684, of "The Old Man's Wish," which consisted of only the five first stanzas of the latter ballad. Another very witty and amusing piece by Pope is the "Salisbury Ballad." It is to be found in Nichols' collection of poems (vii. 61-8), and was suggested by the author's residence in that city with Bishop Ward, who allowed him a pension. He published also, in 1694, select novels from the Spanish of Cervantes, and from the Italian of Petrarch;-in 1697, the Life of Bishop Ward, interspersed with accounts of Bishop Wilkins, Dr. Barrow, and other common friends; and, in 1698, "Moral and Political Fables, done into measured prose, intermixed with rhyme." Wood mentions thirteen publications of his, besides his communications to the Royal Society. The character which the Oxford antiquary has drawn of Pope is a very severe, and apparently a very unjust, one. Pope replied to Wood's attack, in his appen- dix to the Life of Bishop Ward. His scien- tific attainments were of the highest order. His name occurs in the catalogue of emi- nent astronomers given by E. Sherburne in his appendix to "The Sphere of Manilius made into an English Poem," (page 113) with this notice," who has spent much time in observing the motions and appearances of the heavens; the result of which he hath delivered in astronomical lectures read at Gresham College, which, 'tis hoped, he may be prevailed with to make publick hereafter." Even Wood quotes and adopts this praise of our author; but these lectures were never given to the world; he did, how- ever, publish some observations made at Lon- don on an eclipse of the sun, June 22, 1666; and several papers in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. Bishop Sprat (page 27) dedicated to our author his poem on the Plague of Athens: the letter of dedication is given, with the poem, in Dryden's Miscellanies. In that collec- tion, Dr. Pope's Wish, and a Paraphrase by him of book ii., ode 23, of Horace, will likewise be found.-Cole's MSS., 1. 164; Ath.

BAGSHAW, second master of Westminster School, 1657; turned out in 1658 for his insolence and quarrelling with Dr. Busby (Election 1624). He published an account of the quarrel under this title, A true and perfect narration of the Dif- ferences between Mr. Busby and Mr. Bag- shaw, the first and second Masters of West- minster School, 4to., London, 1659; died, 1671. [E. Bagshaw is an instance of ex- cellent parts, considerable learning, and many intellectual accomplishments, ren- dered useless by an overweening conceit, and an ungovernable temper. His father was Edward Bagshaw, a lawyer of some eminence, of the Middle Temple, and of Boughton, Northampton- shire, where his sons, Edward and Henry (Election 1651), were born, the former in 1629. From his earliest residence at Ox- ford, Edward gave symptoms of that tur- bulent, refractory, and conceited spirit, which he displayed to such an extent, and by which he suffered so severely, in after life. Wood enumerates several occasions. on which this spirit manifested itself, even in his undergraduate days. He became B.A. 1649; and M.A. and was senior of the Act in 1651; during which time he was conspicuous x Elected to Cambridge, A.D. 1646.

Nathaniel Hodges". for his insolent conduct towards the vice- chancellor, and also for his strenuous en- deavours to abolish the wearing of caps and hoods (see W. Pope, 1645). He was in- corporated in the degree of M.A. at Cam- bridge in 1654; and was appointed to officiate as second master of Westminster in 1656, but was not confirmed in that office until December in the following year. In November, 1659, he was ordained;-be- came vicar of Ambrosden, Oxon.; but was ejected for nonconformity by the Bartholomew Act in 1661. He was ap- pointed chaplain to the Earl of Anglesea, after the Restoration, and had confident hopes of promotion from that nobleman, which it would seem were frustrated by his own ill-temper and vanity. Bagshaw then went to Ireland, as Anthony à Wood says, "gaping after great matters, but without success, and therefore enraged." On his return, in December, 1662, having abused the Government, King, Church and Bishops, he was imprisoned in the Gate House, thence, in January, 1663, removed to the Tower, and thence, in January, 1664, to Southsea Castle, Hants. After his release he betook himself to London, and "fell to conventicling, and raising sedition," and was soon imprisoned again in Newgate, for refusing to take the oath of supremacy and allegiance in New- gate he remained twenty-two weeks. He completed his singular career by marrying, very late in life, a blind woman, who had fallen in love with his preaching. He died in Tothill Street, Westminster, December 28; and was buried in Bunhill Fields, where an inscription was put upon his tomb, which would convey the impression. that he was a martyr to his religious opi- nions; such, however, is by no means the character given of him, even by those most favorable to him; although he is by all acknowledged to have possessed great abili- ties, besides being "well learned." Considering Bagshaw's vain and in- tractable nature, and their relative posi- tions, the quarrel with Dr. Busby was not 126 The surprising; and his friend, Dr. Pope, asserts that he foretold it as a certain consequence of his obtaining the post of second master, when consulted by him on Dr. Busby's offer of his interest for the place. alleged cause of offence was, that Busby had virtually superseded him by one of the ushers, making him teach the under school instead of some of the lower forms of the upper school. Foiled in his attempt to subdue the great head master, Bagshaw now poured his sorrow at his dismissal, as he had before poured his joy at the appoint- ment, into his friend Pope's ear, and abused Dr. Busby so virulently that, although no friend to the doctor, Pope was forced to defend him. This disappointment soured Bagshaw's temper still more, and he threw himself into the arms of the Independents. He published many theological pam- phlets, and such-like productions, several of which relate to grievances and to quarrels in which he had involved himself. The one referred to above, relating to his conduct to Busby, is a very scarce and curious tract. Not even with his dissenting friends could he agree, but attacked Baxter in his usual unmeasured language, and received three several rebukes from that learned Noncon- formist; the last, published in 1672, was entitled, "The Church told of Mr. Edw. Bagshaw's Scandal, and warned of the dangerous Snares of Satan, &c., now laid for them in his Love-killing Principles.' He dedicated his "Practical discourse con- cerning God's decrees," with many compli- ments, to Bradshaw, the Regicide, in 1659.

He spent the latter days of his life in preach- ing lectures to some dissenting aldermen at Hackney.

From Nettlebed he re- moved to London, where he took charge of a congregation.

HODGES, appointed student of Christ Church, Oxford, by the Parlia- mentarian visitors, 1648; an eminent phy- sician in London; a man of heroic hu- manity during the great plague, 1665; fellow of the College of Physicians, 1672; died, 1688. [He had acquired a great name among the citizens of London; and, when Dr. Sydenham, and almost all the other physicians fled from the metropolis during the plague, he continued an unremitting attendance upon the sick, and was himself twice attacked by the disorder; he seems, during the latter part of the time, to have received a regular stipend from the city of London for the performance of this chari- table office. His best known work is his history of the plague, written in Latin, and entitled, "Aopoλoyia, Sive Pestis, Λοιμολογία, &c., Narra- tio Historica," published in 1672; it was translated into English by Dr. Quincy in 1720, when the appearance of the plague at Marseilles excited alarm throughout Europe. There is also a letter from him on this subject, dated in 1666, and printed with a collection of very scarce tracts in 1721. He also wrote "Vindicia Medicinæ et Medicorum," published in 1660, although a copy in the Bodleian is dated 1655. Dr. Hodges was born in Kensington, being the son of the vicar of that place, Dr. Thos. Hodges, afterwards dean of Here- ford. He took the degrees in arts in 1651 and 1654, and accumulated those in medi- cine, June 4, 1659, and about 1655 was made a fellow of the College of Physicians.

Philip was born at Whitehall, on St. Bartholomew's Day, 1631, and had for his sponsors the Earl of Pembroke and Carlisle, and the Countess of Salisbury; he became the playfellow of the young princes, and was kindly noticed by Laud, for whom, when he came to the palace, he used to open the Water Gate. He was sent, first, to St. Martin's School, then, to a school at Battersea; and, at 12 years old, was removed to Westminster, and placed in the fourth form; there, partly by merit, and partly by the interest of Lord Pembroke, he was, in due time, admitted "Head into college." Busby soon took a great liking to the boy, and employed him, amongst other favorite scholars, in col- lecting materials for his Greek Grammar. He was early imbued with Puritanical tenets by his mother, and, with her, he used to attend all the lectures (lasting sometimes from eight in the morning till four in the afternoon) and monthly fasts set up by the Assembly of Divines, during the Civil War. Lord Pembroke still continued his patron- age to him, attended the Westminster Election the year in which he was elected off, and gave him the means of defraying his first expenses at the University. He re- ceived similar aid from other friends to enable him to proceed B.A. in 1651. In 1653, and the following year, being chosen junior of the Act, he gained a great reputa- tion by his answers to the philosophy ques- tions; in 1653, he preached his first sermon at South Hincksey, Oxon, though he was. not called to the ministry, according to the Presbyterian forms, until 1657. He entered Judge Puleston's family at Emeral, in Flintshire, as tutor to his sons, and as preacher at Worthenbury, an old parochial chapel of Bangor. He was recommended to Lady Puleston by Francis Palmer 129 (Election 1637); and the judge, in 1659, nominated him to Worthenbury, as a sepa- rate cure, settled 1007. a year upon him, and built him a house. At the Restora- tion, to which he had been a staunch well- wisher, he was ejected from Worthenbury, and the annuity granted him by Judge Puleston was stopped by the son after the father's death. This matter was compro- mised, with some loss to Henry, and he re- tired to Broadoak, where he had a pro- perty in right of his wife: he was not left in peace there; but, after repeated annoy- ances, the five-mile-act compelled him to quit this place for Whitchurch, Salop, in 1667; in the next year, however, he re- turned to Broadoak. In 1688, when affairs took a turn more favorable to the Dissenters, he was put into the Commission of the Peace, but declined to act; he refused also to answer the in- quiries of James the Second as to the sufferings of the Dissenters from the Penal Laws. He died, June 24, 1696, at the age of 65, having spent the last nine years of his life at Broadoak, where he was much beloved, and looked up to. A vast con- course of persons from all the neighbour- ing counties attended his funeral at Whitchurch; and a long Latin epitaph was inscribed upon his tomb. He ever retained a great affection for the University, as well as for the School, in which he had been bred, and was wont to allege, as an excuse for having been at college less studious than he should have been, "that, coming from Westminster School, his attainments in school learning were beyond what others generally had that came from other schools, so that he was tempted to think that there was no need to keep pace with others." The University printed a copy of his Latin verses in the collection on the peace with Holland in 1654. He resigned his studentship in 1657, having, for two or three years pre- vious to that date, given away almost all the proceeds of it in charity. A volume, entitled Skeletons of his Ser- mons, was published, with a short biograph- ical sketch, in 1834. Although he preached to a congregation at Broadoak, he was yet so tolerant in his opinions as frequently to join in the public. services of the Church of England; and almost his only objection to conformity was the necessity of being ordained. "Anthony à Wood," says Collier, "has not a word of him, and perhaps it was because he could find nothing for his spiteful teeth to fasten on." He was, indeed, a man of sincere piety and exemplary life, although brought up in sectarian principles by the influence of his mother,-Henry's Life in Wordsworth's Eccl.

He published "God's terrible Voice to the City by Plague and Fire;" it passed through five editions in 1667, and was reprinted in 1831. Several other sermons, and works of a similar nature, of his writing were printed; one of these, published in 1670, was occasioned by an eruption of Mount Etna, and entitled, "Fire and Brimstone. I. From Heaven, in the burning of Sodom and Gomorrah, formerly; II. From Earth, in the burning of Mount Etna, lately; III. From Hell, in the burning of the wicked, eternally." He engaged in a controversy with Dr. Wm. Sherlock, Dean of St. Paul's, and wrote against Penn the Quaker. He was "the son of John Vincent, some- time a gent. of Lincoln's Inn, and after- wards a minister." He was born at Hert- ford in 1634;-elected to Christ Church by favour of the Parliamentary visitors;- took the degree of B.A. 1651, and of M.A. 1654, and was incorporated in the latter degree at Cambridge in 1656. Vincent was never admitted into Holy Orders, although he became chaplain to Robert, Earl of Leicester. He was, there- fore, ejected from his living on the passing of the Act of Uniformity, when he is said to have learned by heart the whole of the New Testament and Psalms, under an ap- prehension that the use of a Bible would be forbidden him. He is reported to have led a blameless life, and to have been re- spected by persons of all persuasions. He was buried at the new churchyard of Great Cripplegate, on the 27th of October. His funeral sermon, preached by one Samuel Slater, was published under the title of "Vincentius Redivivus."-Ath.

[He took the degree of B.A. at Cambridge in 1652, and was ad- mitted ad eundem at Oxford in 1653. When the Parliamentary sequestrators invaded Cambridge, he was expelled from his fellowship, but readmitted to it, August 9, 1660. He travelled in foreign parts, first, as tutor to Josceline, son of the Earl of Northumberland, from 1658 to 1660; and afterwards, in prosecution of his medical studies; one year of this time was spent with Algernon Sidney at Rome. He was incorporated in the degree of M.D. at Oxford in 1669. He practised his faculty in London, and associated intimately with all the learned men of his time. Mr. Locke (Election 1652) he maintained through life the affectionate correspondence and intercourse which had commenced at school. With In 1670, he attended Lord Essex's em- bassy to Denmark, and, in 1672, went again to France with the Countess Dowager of Northumberland. Locke was his companion on the latter occasion. He was unanimously elected professor of Gresham college from among nine candidates, March 27, 1675. He published three lectures delivered in the first year of his tenure of that office, which he resigned October 10, 1679, being com- pelled to do so on account of his marriage. At the same time, he abandoned the pro- fession of physic, prepared himself for Holy Orders, and was admitted both deacon and priest, March 3, 1682. He was chosen lecturer of Ipswich in 1684, and of St. Christopher's, London, in the year follow- ing. In 1690, he was created D.D. at Cam-. bridge by Royal Letters. 131 Dr. Mapletoft was an original member of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, and of that for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge; a director of Greenwich Hospital; president of Sion College in 1707, and a great bene- factor to the buildings and library of the last-named institution. At Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1644, he was active, "with his interest and purse," in supporting Dr. Barrow's exertions for founding a library for that society (see page 28). He lies buried in the chancel of St. Lawrence, Jewry. He had been zealous and judicious in his ministry there, and had reduced to good order a neglected parish and remiss congregation. He had preached in that church (for he was Thursday lecturer as well as vicar) until he was past 80 years of age; and when his age obliged him to discontinue his lectures, he printed, and sent to every house in his parish, an exhor- tation on "The Principles and Duties of the Christian Life;" it was republished in 1712 and 1719. Dr. Mapletoft, with the assistance of G. Havers (see next Election), translated into Latin Dr. Sydenham's work published in 1676, under the title of "Observationes Medicæ circa Morborum acutorum Historiam et Curationem." Dr. Sydenham, in return, dedicated the work to him; and, from passages in it, it appears that he was Dr. Sydenham's fellow-labourer in some of his professional duties. Mapletoft also published some sermons and religious tracts, and Select Proverbs, Italian, Spanish, French, English, Scottish and British, chiefly moral, 1707; and, in 1714, he printed a collection of Greek sentences, with a Greek and Latin title; the latter was "Placita Principalia seu Sententiæ perutiles è Dramaticis ferè Poetis." It was reprinted, and called "Placita Principalia et Consilia ad verè beatèq. vivendum utilissima," 1717. This was again reprinted in 1731. This learned man was an elegant writer of Latin, a good Greek scholar, and an ac- complished modern linguist. The following account of his disposition is transcribed from Ward's Lives. "He was remarkable from his youth for sincere piety and devo- tion, which grew up with him into a settled habit, unaffected and free from all sourness or reserve. He was of an open and generous temper, void of all designs him- self, or suspecting them in others; obliging in his deportment, and very agreeable in conversation." He was descended from a family of some standing in Huntingdonshire; but his birthplace was Margaretting, in Essex, of which his father was vicar; there he was born June 15, 1631. His father, however, dying in 1635, he was cared for by his uncles, one of whom,-Robert Mapletoft, some time master of Pembroke College, Oxford,-sent him to Westminster School. Dr. Mapletoft's wife was one of the Knightleys of Northamptonshire, and his daughter married Bishop Gastrell (Election 1680).-Cole's MSS., xlv. 241. 266. 316. 461; Fasti Ox. ii. 184. 313; Cantabrigienses Graduati; Ward's Gresham Professors (copy with MS. notes in British Museum), ii. 273-9; Biog.

Wood says that he kept on good terms with the Presbyterians, and preached according to their tenets, until within a short time of the Restoration, when, fore- seeing a change, he not only preached both against them and against the Independents, but, in August 1659, wrote a book, entitled "A Defence of humane learning in the Ministry," which he dedicated, in a flatter- ing epistle, to Dr. J. Wall (Election 1604). This book was considered to have done good service to the Universities, and the author was rewarded with a cure in Sussex, where he died in 1670. He was also the author of a grammatical dissertation;-of a publi- cation on the Decalogue, dedicated to Dr. Busby;-of a discourse delivered at the con- secration of Ashburnham Church, Sussex, July 13, 1667, dedicated to Bishop King (Election 1608);-and of a copy of verses, in the Britannia Rediviva, on the return of the King in 1660.

He had succeeded to the ministry of St. John's the Evangelist, Westminster, in 1651, whence he was ejected at the Restoration, and afterwards kept a school. He is said to have been "a man of great skill in vocal and artificial musick, which rendered him acceptable to most of the gentry in and about the city." His case was quoted. as a precedent on the trial of the vice- chancellor of Cambridge, in 1689, for re- fusing to admit Father Francis Alban to a degree in that University: being a Non- conformist minister, and refusing to take the oaths, the King's Mandate in his favour was disobeyed.-Cole's Athenæ, T, xlv. 266. 316. 461; Kennett's Reg. and Chron. 811; Bodleian Catalogue; "Cambridge Case,' &c., 1689, pp. 10, 11.] ,, 7 [B.

IRELAND, chancellor of Durham, 1674; died, 1676. [He was ejected from Christ Church by Dean Owen, whence he retired to St. Mary's Hall;-was restored to his studentship in 1660, but resigned it "to be a candidate for the place of Reader of Moral Philosophy:" he was reinstated, how- ever, in his place among the junior masters in 1664, at the express desire of the King, and nominated to fill the new faculty stu- dentship, to the endowment of which the benefaction left in the will of Mr. W Thur- ston had been applied. On the visit of the King and Queen to Oxford in 1663, Ireland, on his knees, in Christ Church Hall, de- livered 116 verses, which were graciously received by the Royal visitors, and were afterwards printed, as were also several other copies of verses by him. Wood calls him "an ingenious person," and one "who might have done greater matters, had not his mind been diverted by the frequent in- dulgence of the Poets." He took the degree of B.C.L. at St. Mary's Hall in 1657; and was vicar-general to Dr. Crewe, Bishop of Durham. He died in the middle of December, at the "Golden Lyon" in the Strand, London. His father, Wm. Ireland, was one of the vergers of Westminster Abbey.-Fasti Ox. ii. 199–200; Hist. and Antiq. iii. 436; Walker, ii. 111; Hutchin- son's Durham, ii. 255.] 2 [N. HOOKES took the degree of B.A. in 1653. He published, in 1653, a poetical composition called "Amanda, or a sacrifice to an unknown Goddesse, or a free will offering of a loving heart to a sweet heart;" it was dedicated to the Honorable Edward, son and heir of Edward Lord Montague, of Boughton, and consisted of a series of sonnets in praise of this unknown Goddesse, a being who, as he announces in his preface, was entirely the creation of his own imagina- tion. In the same year, he published, also, "Miscellanea Poetica," consisting of epi- grams, elegies, &c., among which may be specially noticed a poem addressed to Dr. Busby; an elegy on Dr. Comber (page 20); some English stanzas "on the immature death of his hopeful friend, Mr. Alexander Rookesby" (Election 1650); and a dia- logue in Latin elegiacs in which "Scholam Regiam Westmonasteriensem, Scholarum omnium Reginam, alloquuntur vicissim Cantabrigiæ & Oxoniæ Genii." He died, November 7, 1712, and was buried in Lambeth. The following inscrip- tion from his monument on the south wall of the North Aisle is deemed worth inserting here. 133 "Memoriæ et virtutibus sacrum Nicholai Hookes, Armigeri, conditi in illo quem propè extruxit tumulo.

He was of Suffolk extraction, and took his M.A. degree in 1658.-Lives of Gresham Pro- fessors, 275, note; Cole's MSS. xlv. 267, 316, 1. 163; Swan's Life of Sydenham, ix.] 5 H. STUBBE, an eminent physician; second keeper of the Bodleian Library, 1657; one of the most learned men of his time; died, 1676. [This extraordinary person was born on the 28th of February, 1631, near Spilsbye, in Lincolnshire, whence his father, an Anabaptist minister, removed to Ireland; but when the rebellion broke out in that country, in 1641, his mother fled with him to London, walking thither, on foot, from Liverpool. She maintained herself in the metropolis by her needle, and sent her son, then about 10 years old, to Westminster School. Here he fre- quently obtained pecuniary relief from his schoolfellows, as a remuneration for writing their exercises. Busby was struck by his rare talents and unwearied assiduity, and introduced him to Sir Henry Vane, who happened one day to come into the school; and Sir Henry both relieved the immediate wants of the lad, and remained for ever afterwards his steady friend. The influence of this patron made him of considerable consequence at Oxford. His reputation too for learning increased daily, and he used to converse fluently in Greek in the public schools. Having taken his bachelor's decree in 1653, he went into Scotland, and served in the Parliamentary army until 1655. He took the degree of M.A. in 1656, and, about that time, wrote against the clergy and universities. 29 For "a pestilent book of this sort," en- titled "A Light shining out of Darkness,' Dean Reynolds turned him out of his stu- dent's place, and out of his office in the library, towards the end of 1659; but he is said to have written these works out of gratitude to Sir H. Vane, rather than from animosity to those against whom he wrote; for we are told that he never gained any- thing by the disturbances, and was no sec- tarian. He himself professed that this book was written against the usurpations of the Cromwells, and against Presbyterian tenets. Upon this expulsion he retired to Strat- ford-upon-Avon, and practised physic, which had been his study for some years. By At the Restoration, he received the rite of confirmation from Bishop Morley, and was protected by that prelate from the nu- merous enemies he had raised up against himself. In 1661, he went to Jamaica, as King's physician, but ill health com- pelled him to return to England. After a short residence in and about London, he again took up his abode at Stratford, whence he removed to Warwick; at the latter place, as well as at Bath, which he frequented in the summer, he enjoyed an extensive prac- tice. He was drowned in a river near the latter city, July 12, and was buried in the church of St. Peter and St. Paul. a strange coincidence, his funeral sermon was preached by Mr. Glanville, with whom he had been engaged in controversy by his continual attacks on the Royal Society. He had at one time supported. the Royal Society, but afterwards took offence at it, and for many years wrote in ridicule of it, in which he was encouraged by Bishop Fell. Accordingly, one of his censures on that body is dedicated to the Bishop from Warwick, in 1669. He had a great respect, however, for some of its members, as is instanced in his letters to Mr. Boyle, three of which are given in Dr. Birch's Life of Boyle; they are dated in 1669. Among his lighter compositions must be noticed a volume of Latin and Greek poems, containing a paraphrase in Greek verse of the Book of Jonah and of the History of Susanna; it is dedicated to Dr. Busby in a Latin epistle, to which are added "Otium Literatum, sive Miscel- lanea quædam Poemata ab H. Birchhead e Coll. O. A. et H. Stubbe, ex æd. Christi hactenus seorsim edita," &c., and "Delicia Poetarum Anglicanorum, in Græ- cum versæ, 1658." He also published, in 134 Elected to Oxford, A.D. 1650. William James¹. Thomas Bedingfield³. John Nurse 5. Thomas Johnson. Richard MarshⓇ. 1659, a defence of Sir Henry Vane against Baxter. His abilities were of the highest order, and his learning various, and yet profound; but he marred both by a want of "discretion to manage his parts." He seems to have possessed many noble quali- ties of mind, and to have conformed entirely to the Church of England during the later years of his life. It would be impossible to give anything like a list of his numerous works on all subjects, theological, medical, political, historical,-in prose and in verse; for, as Wood tells us, he had "a marvellous dexterity of writing books on all occasions." He seems especially to have delighted in controversial writing; he took the part of Hobbes, who was his friend, against Dr. Wallis in 1657; and, in 1658, wrote "The Savilian Professor's case stated," against the appointment of the latter to the place of Custos Archivorum, on behalf of Dr. Zouche. He was arrested, and suffered imprison- ment for the "Paris Gazette," written against the Duke of York's marriage with Princess Mary of Modena, 1673.-Ath. Ox. iii. 1068-83, Fasti, ii. 175, 193; Biog.

He proceeded B.A. 1652, and M.A. 1655; and became the intimate friend of Dr. Thomas Willis, under whose instruction he began his professional career, and with whom he was travelling to visit patients, when he made the fortu- nate discovery of the medicinal properties of the Astrop spring. He also assisted the same eminent physician in his treatise on the anatomy of the brain, and in several of his other works. He accumulated the degrees in physic in 1665, and employed that year at Oxford in trying on animals the experiment of trans- Elected to Cambridge, A.D. 1650. John Dryden'. Walter Needham*.

In 1666, he settled in London, in Hatton Garden, became a fellow of the College of Physi- cians, and the most celebrated physician in the metropolis. Latterly, he lived in King Street, Covent Garden; there his practice increased considerably, and he was much about the court of Charles II. He was present at the post-mortem examination of the body of that monarch. Having adopted Whig principles, and being a staunch sup- porter of the Protestant interest, he lost the favor of the court on the accession of James the Second. He resigned his con- nection with the Royal Society in 1678. Dr. Lower died at his house in King Street, January 17, 1690-1. His body was carried for burial to a small estate in Cornwall, which he had bought, near his native place. He left a large sum of money to charitable purposes. He was the author of several medical works; the best known of which is the "Tractatus de Corde," which was dedicated to Millington (Election 1645), on its publi- cation in 1669: a fourth edition appeared in 1680. It was also printed at Liege in 1708. A valuable collection of Lower's receipts was published in 1700 and in 1716; and a book by him was published in German at Frankfort and at Leipsig in 1712, called "Universal Medicin D.

His talents very early discovered themselves, for Wood relates, "that, being extraordinary rath-ripe, and of a prodigious memory, he was entered into his accedence at 5 years of age." His grandfather was an alderman of Bristol, and he himself was born in Monmouthshire, and is styled "Generosi filius" in the Matriculation Register at Oxford. He received his earliest education at Blandford, at a school kept by his mo- ther's brother, Mr. Wm. Sutton. This James died, "to the great reluctancy of all who knew his admirable parts," on the 3rd of July, 1663, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. 22 He has a copy of English verses printed at the beginning of John Hoddesdon's "Sion and Parnassus,' in 1650; and some Greek verses on H.

DRYDEN, the famous poet, poet- laureate, and historiographer to King Charles and King James the Second; died, 1700. [He was born in 1631, and commenced his education at Tichmarch, in his native county of Northamptonshire; and, per- haps also, was for a short time at the free school at Oundle: he was sent to West- minster, probably when he was about 11 years old. In January, 1653-4, he took the degree of B.A.; in May, 1654, he was summoned from the university to attend the deathbed of his father, who died in the June follow- ing; leaving to his son an estate of 186 acres, which were let for sixty pounds a year, encumbered, however, with a jointure of twenty pounds a year to his mother. Dryden returned to Cambridge, and was resident there until the middle of the year 1657, when he settled in London. He be- came M.A. by virtue of a dispensation from Archbishop Sheldon, on the 16th of June, 1668. He was removed from his places of poet- laureate and histriographer, on the 9th of August, 1689, and died at his house, No. 43, Gerrard Street, Soho (again rendered il- lustrious by being the abode of Mr. Burke), on the 1st of May, 1700. His body lay in state for ten days at the College of Physicians, where a Latin ora- tion was pronounced by Dr. Garth, and the last ode of the 3rd book of Horace, "Exegi monumentum ære perennius," sung over it. It was carried thence to Westminster Abbey, and interred amidst a numerous assemblage of his friends and admirers; but there existed no monument to his me- mory, until Sheffield, Duke of Buckingham, defrayed the expense of one, erected in 1720: the bust now on the monument was executed by Scheemakers, and substituted by the Duchess of Buckingham in 1731, for one of inferior workmanship. His elegy on the death of Lord Hastings was written whilst he was still a king's scholar: it occurs with those of a few other Westminster Scholars (see Election 1651) at the end of the "Lachrymæ Musarum, which were printed on the death of that nobleman in 1649. To the end of the third satire of Persius Dryden affixed the following note:-"I remember I translated this satire when I was a King's Scholar at Westminster School, for a Thursday night's exercise; and believe that it, and many other of my exercises of this nature, in English verse, are still in the hands of my learned master, the Reverend Doctor Busby." There is another English poem of his prefixed to John Hoddesdon's "Sion and Parnassus," in 1650; it was written after his election to Cambridge, as "Trin. Coll." follows his signature. Dryden did not contribute to any of the collections of poems on state occasions during his resi- dence at the University, but those written by his cousin, Jonathan Dryden (Election 1656), have been erroneously attributed to him. The attachment which Dryden bore to Westminster School, and to the eminent person by whom both he and his sons were educated, must not pass unnoticed. Ample evidence of this feeling will be found in his letters to Dr. Busby, printed in Nichols' Illustrations of the Literary History of the 18th Century. Although it would have been inconsis- tent with the limits of this work to have given a detailed account of this illus- trious genius, or of his writings; yet the preceding incidents are so connected with his career, both at school and at the university, that they seemed justly to demand a place in such a collection as 136 Elected to Oxford, A.D. 1651.

SOUTH, public orator, Oxford [from August 10, 1660, until Nov. 10, 1677]; prebendary of Westminster, 1663; canon of Christ Church, 1670; a benefactor to Christ Church; died, 1716, aged 82. [This celebrated wit and eminent preacher, who has been aptly denominated the scourge of fanaticism," was born at Hackney in 1633. His parents were both of gentle birth; his father, an eminent merchant in London, was descended from an ancient family in Lincolnshire; his mother was a Berry, a family of some note in Kent. When a boy, South distinguished himself by reading prayers in school on the day of the King's execution, praying for Charles the First by name. Another anecdote re- lates that Busby, with his characteristic penetration, said "I see great talents in that sulky boy, and I shall endeavour to bring them out," a work which he accom- plished by a very severe discipline. At the University he was much be- friended by his kinsman, Dr. John South, Regius Professor of Greek. He has been the subject of strong censure for contri- buting to the congratulatory poems on Cromwell's peace with the Dutch in 1654; but he probably regarded his verses in the light of a college exercise, for he did not take the degree of B.A. until the 24th of February 1654-5. In 1657 he proceeded M.A., and was "Terræ filius." He was ordained in 1659; and, in that year, was incorporated M.A. at Cambridge. In 1661, he was made chaplain to the great Lord Clarendon, having attracted the no- tice of that statesman by a speech de- livered at his investiture as Chancellor of the University: Lord Clarendon, some years afterwards, gave him the sinecure of Llan- chiader, in North Wales. He was created 137 D.D. October 1, 1663, upon letters from the chancellor, but not without much opposi- tion on the part of the Convocation, to the bestowing of such a dignity upon so young a member of their body. He was incor- porated in this degree also at Cambridge, July 6, 1664. He received the He received the appoint- ment of chaplain to the Duke of York in 1667. In 1676, he went as chaplain to Lawrence Hyde (afterwards Earl of Ro- chester), on the embassy to John Sobieski, King of Poland. He became rector of Islip, Oxon., in 1678; and chaplain in or- dinary to Charles II. He obtained his stall at Westminster, March 30, 1670; and was installed in his canonry of Christ Church, December 29, 1670. In right of the former office, he car- ried the sceptre and dove at the coronation of James II. Dr. South declined an archbishoprick in Ireland, offered him by the second Lord Clarendon; and, amongst other offers of episcopal preferment, the bishoprick of Ro- chester, together with the deanery of West- minster, tendered to him on the death of Dr. Sprat. He inherited a small estate at Caversham, near Reading, and the manor of Cantlers, Kentish Town. The latter was, by his will, left in trust to the dean and chapter of Christ Church for certain charities, the surplus to be given to six poor scholars, students of Christ Church, brought up at Westminster School. He made other mu- nificent donations to the society to which he belonged. Islip was another instance of his liberality. Out of the income of 2007. a year derived from it, he paid his curate 100%., and spent the rest in educating and apprenticing the poor children of the parish. He built and endowed a school there. In 1680, he entirely rebuilt the chancel, as well as the rectory house, on land of his own gift. He left 1007. to the Bodleian Library, 200l. to ejected non-juring clergy- men, the like sum to widows of poor clergy- men, 100%. to widows of poor housekeepers, not clergymen, 1007. to the Grey-Coat School, Tothill Fields, and a sum of money to the poor of Hackney and Caversham. A specimen of his Latin verses occurs in the collection made at Oxford at the Res- toration, entitled "Britannia Rediviva." His controversy with Dr. Sherlock, upon the Trinity, was begun in 1693, and lasted until 1696; but the sermons of this great divine are the most enduring monuments of his wit and learning: the effect pro- duced by their delivery is abundantly evidenced in the paper No. 135 (by Addi- son) of the "Guardian ;" and No. 205 (by Fuller) of the "Tatler:" in the paper No. 61 (by Steele) of the latter perio- dical, allusion is made to his virtuous life, and constant attendance on public wor- ship. Even Wood admits that our author was "noted for his excellent oratory," and here it may be mentioned that South was indebted to some bon mots of his own, which had offended Wood, for the ill-na- tured, and, in many respects, false, charac- ter of him in the Athenæ Oxonienses. South published, in 1655, a poem called "Musica incantans, sive poema exprimens Musicæ vires," &c.; another edition of it appeared in 1667. In 1717, Curll printed South's posthumous works, English and Latin; the former were published first, and consisted of some sermons, his travels in Poland with Lord Rochester in 1674, together with a memoir of his life, and his last will, and also the orations spoken by the Captain of the King's Scholars at Dr. South's funeral. For the penalty paid by Curll on account of a former publication of these orations, see J. Barber, Election 1717. The Latin works comprised his public speeches at Oxford, and his poems. He died on the 8th of July. Every possible demonstration of respect was shown to his remains. After lying for four days in the Jerusalem Chamber, they were carried into the College Hall, where the Captain of the King's Scholars (see Elec- tion 1717) pronounced a funeral oration over them; they were then attended to his grave in the Abbey, by the prebendaries, the masters and scholars, and all in any way connected with the royal foundation, besides many members of the University of Oxford, the service being read, according to his particular request, by the Dean, Bishop Atterbury. His picture, a Kit-Kat, was given to the Bodleian, by Dr. Bathurst, Dean of Wells, about 1700. There is also a print of him, by Vertue.

In the "London Gazette," No. 763, there is an account of his public entry into Madrid with great pomp, on the 18th of January, 1672. He had been unable to go through this ceremony before that time owing to the illness of the King of Spain. Sir William Godolphin, having remained several years in Spain, became a convert to the Romish faith, and was mentioned in the evidence given by Titus Oates, before the House of Commons, as having received a commission from the Pope, as Lord Privy Seal. He was one of an ancient and illustrious Cornish family.

LOCKE, the famous writer and philosopher; secretary to the Presentations, 1672; one of the commissioners of Ap- peals and of Trade and Plantations, 1696; died, 1704, aged 73. [An old thatched house, not larger than a cottage, near to the churchyard of Wrington, Somerset- shire, was the birthplace of John Locke. His mother, on being suddenly taken ill, on her way to her husband's residence, at Pensford, was conveyed thither, and delivered of this son, August 29, 1632. John Locke, the father, was of a re- putable descent, and, according to Wood, had studied law, and was "of genteel fashion." He possessed an independent estate, and was for many years steward, or court-keeper, to Colonel Alexander Popham. Locke pursued his academical studies with steadiness and reputation. The verses which he contributed to the collec- tions made at Oxford on Cromwell's peace with the Dutch in 1654, and on the Restora- tion of the Monarchy in 1660, have been reprinted, and are said to have been supe- rior to the usual standard of such compo- sitions. He took the degree of B.A. 1655, that of M.A. 1658, and was incorporated in the last degree at Cambridge in 1663. He was appointed Greek Lecturer at Christ Church, 1661; Reader in Rhetoric, 1662; and Censor of Moral Philosophy, 1663. Intending to adopt the profession of physic, he went through a course of che- mistry, and is quoted by Wood as being a member with him of a chemical club at Ox- ford, in 1663. He proceeded B.M. in 1674; was appointed faculty student of medicine by the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church, in January, 1675-6; and is said to have practised for a short time at Oxford. But he found his health unequal to the labours of this profession, and devoted himself to public employment, and to the philosophi- cal pursuits to which his disposition in- clined him. As early as 1664, he had ac- companied Sir Walter Vane, the British envoy to the court of Brandenburg, as his secretary; and, in 1668, we find him (as already mentioned, Election 1648) in the suite of the Countess of Northumberland. He was elected F.R.S., 1670. Shortly after his return from the conti- nent, an accident introduced him to the man who became his friend and patron, and to whom he adhered with unshaken constancy through the alternate prosperity and adversity of a chequered life. Locke was sent to Lord Ashley, by a friend of his, who was not able to communicate in person to that notorious member of "the Cabal" the information which his lordship had requested on the subject of the Astrop waters. The result of this interview was that Locke became Lord Ashley's secretary, and likewise assisted in superintending the education of his lordship's eldest son. In 1672, when Lord Ashley was promoted to the Chancellor's Seals and the Earldom of Shaftesbury, Locke was appointed secretary of the Presentations; and, in 1673, secre- tary to the Board of Trade. On the failure of Lord Shaftesbury's schemes, in 1683, Locke followed his patron, and withdrew to the Hague. He was re- moved from his studentship, on the 15th of November, 1684, by an express mandate from the King. Nor was he left in peace after this, for in the following year his name was in a list of proscribed per- sons, whose surrender was demanded by the Envoy at the Hague. By a timely withdrawal, he saved the Prince of Orange's government from the possibility of com- plying with this demand; and did not return to England until 1689, when he went over in the fleet which conveyed the Princess of Orange. He was nominated a commissioner of Appeals for the Excise; and had the offer of the post of envoy in what- ever climate best suited his health. he preferred retirement, and found such as he liked at Oates, in Essex, the country seat of Sir Francis Masham, which became his home during the remainder of his days, except when the business of a commis- sioner of Trade and Plantations (which he resigned about 1700) called him to London.

The former con- sist of his "Essay concerning Human Under- standing," dedicated to Lord Pembroke, and published in 1689; and the three letters which passed in 1696-8, in answer to Bishop Stillingfleet's objections to it ;-"Considera- tions on the Value of Money ;"-" Two Treatises on Government, in answer to Sir Robert Filmer ;"-"Three Letters on Tole- ration," written to bring about King William the Third's plan for uniting Churchmen and Dissenters ;"-"The Reasonableness of Christianity, as delivered in the Scrip- tures," and two vindications of it;-"Some Thoughts on Education ;"-"Some Treatises and Notes on the Epistles of St. Paul." Among the latter is that which is the best known of all his works, his "Conduct of the Understanding," "Memoirs of Lord Shaftes- bury;" and some of his own correspondence with his friends. His first Letter on Tole- ration was printed in Latin in Holland in 1689, and about the same time translated into Dutch and French. He began his Essay on the Understanding in 1670, but did not finish it until 1689. Such were the fruits of the learning and industry of this eminent philosopher, who was above that philosophy, "falsely so called," which abjures the faith of a Chris- tian, to "find no end in wandering mazes lost" but he was not ashamed to own that his speculations were vain unless built upon the sure foundation of revealed religion. Hear his own words in the postscript to his first letter to Bishop Stillingfleet,-"The Holy Scripture is to me, and always will be, the constant guide of my assent, and I shall always hearken to it as containing infallible truth relating to things of the highest concernment.'

In 1675, he was made B.D. and D.D. at Cambridge by accumula- tion. He discharged the duties of high- master of St. Paul's with singular talent and industry, but the labours incident to that post did not prevent his giving to the world new and correct editions of many Latin and Greek authors. He was an active member of the Royal Society, of which he became one of the first honorary secretaries in 1697, and pre- sented to that society a Roman urn, with its ashes. He was noted at York for his hospitality, and for his admirable govern- ment of the cathedral establishment, as well as for his care in restoring, and embellishing the fabric. He was further a benefactor to the deanery by obtaining, in 1699, letters patent, settling the dean's right to be a canon residentiary. The first literary men of Europe, with whom he used to correspond,-among others Dr. Huet, bishop of Avranches,-acknow- ledged his erudition; and he received from both the Universities proofs of the admi- ration in which he was held by them. His works are very numerous, and con- sist chiefly of the republication of classical authors; but he wrote several books of great research on English antiquities, and published two volumes of the Old English Historians. The inscription for the Monument of London was composed by him, and he re- ceived a present of plate from the city of London on this occasion. He contributed a copy of verses to the "Threni Canta- brigienses," on the deaths of the Duke of Gloucester and the Princess of Orange, in 1661, as he had done before to the "Luctus et Gratulatio," published by the University of Cambridge, in 1658, on the death of Oliver Cromwell, and the succession of his son Richard; and as he afterwards did, to 145 Elected to Oxford, A.D. 1656.

KNIPE, usher of Westminster School, 1661; second master, 1663; head- master, 1695; prebendary of Westminster, [October 17, 1707]; died, 1711, aged 73. [B.A. 1660; M.A. 1663, five of his terms being dispensed with during the time "he did attend in his Majesty's School at West- minster." He laboured in the school for fifty years. He accumulated the degrees of B.D. and D.D. July 3, 1695. It has been said that Dr. Busby did not duly appreciate Dr. Knipe's merits as second master; but it is no small praise to the latter that he made a respectable successor to that eminent in- structor of youth; he was much respected and beloved by his pupils, as is shown by the manner in which he is mentioned by Maittaire (Election 1682) in his Greek Dialects, who talks of him as one "cui se sua omnia debere fatetur," and likewise by Dr. Wm. King (Election 1681), in his dedi- cation to him of the "Historical Account of the Heathen Gods." He died at Hampstead, on the 6th of August, but was buried in the cloisters at Westminster, and a monument, with a suitable inscription, was erected to him by his second wife, in the south aisle of the church.

(per mandatum) in 1681;-became vice-master of Trinity College in 1700;- rector of Guisely, Yorkshire, in 1702, and, shortly afterwards, of Orwell, Cambridge- shire. He was much looked up to in the col- lege; and, at first, was a supporter of Bentley's measures; but in January, 1709-10, Miller appealed to Dr. Stubbe, as vice-master, against the master's decree, which had deprived him of his fellowship, and Stubbe and the seven senior fellows voted that the petitioner's name should be restored to the college books. In the fol- + U 2 148 lowing February, we find Dr. Stubbe's name at the head of the list of petitioners to the Bishop of Ely against Bentley's proceed- ings; in 1711, he was in communication with the Lord Treasurer Oxford on the same subject; and for two or three years he made the management of the suit against the master his chief occupation. Bentley, in revenge, made two fruitless attempts to induce the senior fellows to exclude Stubbe from the vice-mastership; by a dexterous movement, however, a third effort succeeded; and another fellow was elected to that office in 1712. This so mor- tified the old man, that he spent the re- mainder of his life in London, where he died about the end of October, 1719, at the age of 82. of 82. His remains were buried at Orwell, where a monument was erected to his memory. Bishop Monk remarks that, notwithstanding Dr. Stubbe's high mo- narchical principles, he was the last sur- vivor in the society of Trinity College who had received his education, whilst repub- lican principles had the upper hand. He seems, from the registers at Cam- bridge, to have called himself Stubbs and Stubbe indifferently, but latterly to have preferred Stubbe; on particular occasions, too, he Latinized his Christian name into Voluferanus, as appears by his signature in the register at Cambridge for his degree of D.D., and by that to the indentures of the Westminster Election of 1708, which he attended in Dr. Bentley's stead. There is a copy of verses by him in the collection of poems printed at Cambridge in 1661, on the deaths of the Princess of Orange, and the Duke of Gloucester. He is highly spoken of by Dr. Walter Needham in the preface to the surgical work already referred to (Election 1650).- Cole's Athenæ, S, 86, Cole's MSS., ii. 77; xlv. 242. 317.356; University Reg.; West.

He is said to have held other considerable preferments in Ireland. He proceeded D.D. at Cam- bridge. He married Elizabeth, second daughter of Richard, and sister to Sir John Osborne, of Ballintaylor, co. Waterford, Bart.; and by her had issue John (for whom see Admissions 1691); and was an- cestor of the Lords Harberton, the present Viscount of which house was elected to Cambridge in 1809.

[Bishop Hooper was son of George Hooper, gentleman, and born at Grinsley in Wor- cestershire, Nov. 18, 1640; he was, at first, sent to St. Paul's School, in London, and thence removed to Westminster, where Dr. Busby, with his usual perception of character, foretold to "this boy-the least favored in features of any in the school" -his future success. M.A. 1663. His first preferment was that of chaplain to Bishop Morley (Election 1615), and from the same patron he received the rectory of Havant, Hants, which he afterwards ex- changed for that of Woodhay, in the same county. He took the degree of B.D. in 1673; and was nominated chaplain to Archbishop Sheldon, and by him made rector of St. Mary's, Lambeth, in 1675. He proceeded D.D. July 3, 1677;-was appointed almoner to the Princess of Orange, and went to Holland in that ca- pacity, to regulate her chapel according to the forms of the Church of England. He was made chaplain to Charles II., 1680. The deanery of Canterbury was con- ferred on him by the Queen, without any solicitation on his part. The Queen had some difficulty in persuading him to accept a bishoprick, and still more in translating him to Bath and Wells. This arose out of delicacy of feeling towards Bishop Ken, whom he served to the utmost of his ability, and for whom he procured 2007. a year from the Queen. He declined, more- over, the primacy of Ireland, offered him by 149 Elected to Oxford, A.D. 1658. John Hammond'.cal William Wigan. well dd baboos Thomas Brattell". Elected to Cambridge, A.D. 1658.

These facts contradict the account of his grasping ambition given by Bishop Burnet, and still more the fact, that he afterwards refused translation both to London and to York, and a seat at the Privy Council, which were more than once offered to him. On Dr. Allestree's death, in 1689, he de- clined the regius professorship of Divinity at Oxford. He was consecrated a bishop, October 31, 1703, on the death of Bishop Jones (Election 1661), and translated to Wells, March 14, 1703-4. He is mentioned by Burnet as one of the divines who, in 1686, so successfully ex- posed, both by preaching and writing, the errors of the Romish Church. Evelyn, too, calls him one of "ye first rank of pulpit men in the nation," alluding to a sermon of his before the King in 1681. He pub- lished in 1721, an "Inquiry into the State of the Ancient Measures, especially the Jewish," and was the author of several ser- mons, and other theological compositions. All his works were collected and published by Dr. Hunt, canon of Christ Church, in 1757. They had all been published in his Life, except the notes on Tertullian's tract against the Valentinians, and a Latin commentary on the 49th chapter of Genesis. Specimens of his Latin poetry are to be found in the Oxford collections on the Re- storation, and on the death of the Princess Mary of Orange, in 1660. Bishop Hooper took an active part in the House of Lords in 1705 and 1706, in the debates on the danger which threatened the Church of England, and against the union with Scotland; he also protested against the condemnation of Dr. Sach- everell. He is described as judicious, disinterested in the distribution of his patronage, as much beloved in his diocese, and as an "universalist in knowledge, without being "a smatterer." He was a great master of the Arabic language. Dr. Busby said of him, that "he was the best scholar, the finest gentleman, and would make the completest bishop that ever was educated at Westminster." He died, September 6, 1727, at the age of 87, and was buried in the cathedral at Wells, where there is a long Latin inscrip- tion on the monument erected to him, which we are told by Dr. Hunt was the composition "of a gentleman of great veracity and learning. There is a picture of him in the Hall, and also in the Chapter House, at Christ Church, the former by Hogarth: Noble likewise mentions one by Sir Godfrey Kneller; and another by Hall; from this last was taken a print, which was the first specimen of the mixture of mezzotinto with engraving. -Ath.

He died May 25, 1723, at the age of 83, and lies buried in the Cathedral, where the virtues which adorned him, and the offices which he filled, are detailed on his tomb in a Latin epitaph.

He carried St. Edward's Staff at the coronation of James the Second in 1685. To Dr. Onley, the dean and chapter of Christ Church are indebted for the advow- son of the vicarage of Staverton, North- amptonshire, with the incorporated rectory annexed to it, which he bequeathed to them (in the event of his daughter dying with- out issue) on condition of their always pre- senting a Westminster-student to it. He became possessed of this property in the following singular manner. His father was the porter to a tavern in the Strand, and was sent for to perform an errand for a gentleman of good family and property, of the same name as himself: struck by this coincidence, and pleased with the man's appearance, this Mr. Onley made further inquiries respecting him, and, as they proved satisfactory, adopted his son Nicholas, sent him to Westminster School, and left him his whole fortune, of which the advowson of this living formed a part. -Kennett's Reg. and Chron. 330. 568. 669; Baker's Northamptonshire, i. 435; Hist.

He never sought for any great advancement in the church and with- drew his name from the list of candidates for the preachership of the Charter House, although he had secured the interest of the King, because he would not stand for the office in opposition to the wishes of the Archbishop of Canterbury. He was made domestic chaplain to the Earl of Burling- ton, and dedicated to that nobleman the eight sermons he published under the title of God, the King, and the Church," in 1670; the first of these discourses had been preached before the King, at Saxham in Suffolk, and printed by His Majesty's special command. 66 Seignior had for some time the charge of St. Michael's Church, Cambridge. He died in London on the 15th of October, 1678, after a long and severe illness. وو He was zealously attached to the Church of England, and, even when he first entered the university, and the Puritans still had rule there, had the courage to acknowledge himself devoted to "that persecuted and crucified church which lay bleeding in these kingdoms.'

JANE was, as we are informed by Wood, "elected student of Christ Church from Westminster School, anno 1660, aged 16, or thereabouts." He graduated B.A. 1664; M.A. 1667; B.D. 1674; and D.D. July 4, 1679. After his first admission to holy orders he was nominated lecturer at Carfax, in Oxford, and was chaplain to Dr. Compton (succes- sively Bishop of Oxford and London), at whose consecration he preached in 1674. The following are the other preferments, which he held during the course of his minis- try, with their respective dates :-The rec- tory of Wennington, Essex, Oct. 24, 1674;- a canonry of Christ Church, July 5, 1678;- a prebendal stall at St. Paul's, June 24, 1679;-the treasurership of St. Paul's, and archdeaconry of Middlesex, Oct. 7, in the same year; the regius professorship of divinity (with the rectory of Ewelme an- nexed), May 19, 1680;-the deanery of Gloucester, June 6, 1685;-the chancellor- ship of Exeter, Feb. 3, 1702-3; and the precentorship of that cathedral, May 4, 1704 on his appointment to the latter office, he resigned the chancellorship; and he resigned the precentorship itself in 1706. He also resigned the archdeaconry of Middlesex, and the rectory of Wennington in 1686. Dr. Jane was chaplain to King William III.; and was chosen prolocutor of the Lower House of Convocation, November 21, 1689. He was one of the commission to whom the two Dukes of Ormonde, who were suc- cessively chancellors of the university, delegated their powers, during their ab- sence, in the years 1681-4, 9, 1690, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1702, 3, and 4. He moved the vote of thanks to Atterbury in the Con- vocation (see Election 1680), which was the prelude to the honor conferred upon that divine by the University of Oxford, April 8, 1701. His portrait is in the Bodleian Library. Dean Jane died February 22, 1706, and was buried, on the 27th, in the cathedral at Christ Church; but no memorial was erected to him there. He printed four sermons, preached on separate occasions, in 1675, 1678, 1691, and 1692. Dean Jane and Dean ALDRICH are men- tioned together by a recent writer of Eng- lish history, by no means partial to the Church of England, among those divines whom he describes as "qualified by parts, by eloquence, by wide knowledge of literature, of science, of life, to defend their church victoriously against heretics and sceptics, to command the attention of frivolous and worldly congregations, to guide the de- liberations of senates, and to make religion respectable even in the most dissolute of Courts."-Ath.

He was suspended, for a short time, in 1699, under a charge of simoniacal practices; but the evidence, ac- cording to Bishop Burnet, was not very clear against him, although the presump- tions were strong. He is said to have been guilty of this crime in obedience to the commands of Charles the Second.sy This prelate died at his house in College Court, near Westminster Abbey, May 10, 1703; and was buried under the communion table in St. Margaret's Church.-Cole's MSS., xlv. 242. 322; Godwin de Præs.

He went to live with his relations, then residing at the city of Hereford, and was drowned in the river adjoining-"to the great reluctancy (to quote again the words of Wood) of all who were acquainted with his pregnant parts," July 12, 1666. A quaint letter, written by Scudamore's grandfather to Busby, in 1663, begging the Doctor's acceptance of some cider, is given in Nichols' Illust. Lit. Hist. v. 395; Ath. Ox. iii. 727.] 7 [F.

B.A. 1666. Having taken his M.A. degree in 1669, he was appointed corrector of the press at the Theatre; and afterwards vicar 155 of Steventon, and minister of Hungerford, Berks. He published, in 1673, "A short introduction of grammar for the Latine tongue," which was called "Dr. Fell's," and "the Oxford," grammar. Bennet was much befriended by Bishop Fell, who made two unsuccessful attempts, in 1669 and 1671, to procure his election to the place of "beadle and architypographus" in the university. He went by the desig- nation of "the Oxford Grammarian," and under it was attacked by one John Twells, a schoolmaster at Newark. He died in August, 1681, and was buried at Hungerford.-Ath.

One Timothy Wilson was rector of Kingsnorth, and vicar of Great Mongeham, both in the county of Kent; he was presented to the former in 1676, to the latter in 1690, and held them both until his death, January 4, 1705. He lies buried in the chancel of Great Monge- ham church. He was the author of two sermons, one printed in 1690, and the other in 1691, in defence of the Revolution. It may, however, be doubted whether the vicar of Mongeham was not a Timothy Wilson mentioned among the Cantabrigi- enses Graduati, as B.A. 1662, and M.A. 1673, of St. John's College.-Cole's MSS., xlv. 322; Hasted's Kent, iii. 284. 340; Bodleian Catalogue; and British Museum Catalogue.] 5 H. ALDRICH, canon of Christ Church, 1681; dean of Christ Church, 1689; pro- locutor of the lower house of Convocation [Feb. 1701-2]; an eminent divine and polite scholar; died 1710, aged 63. Vid. Biographia Britannica, vol. i. p. 130. [Dean Aldrich was born in the city of Westminster in 1647, being the son of Henry Aldrich, gent. He was elected to Christ Church when he was only fifteen years of age; took the degrees of B.A. 1666, and M.A. 1669: he became, in due course, a famous tutor in his college, and accumulated the degrees in divinity, March 2, 1681-2. He was rec- tor of Wem, in Shropshire; was installed in his canonry of Christ Church, on the death of Speed (Election 1645), Feb. 13, 1681-2, and in the deanery, June 17, 1689 (see page 28). He filled the office of vice- chancellor of the university, from 1592 to 1594. Bishop Burnet mentions him as one of those clergymen who distinguished them- selves in controversy with the Romanists in the reign of James II.; and to him, and to Bishop Sprat, Lord Rochester committed the publication of Clarendon's History, which drew on them the charge of having falsified the text of the original MS., an accusation fully refuted by Bishop Atter- bury (see E. Smith, Election 1688). was also the author of a system of logic, generally every year, he published some entitled, "Artis Logicæ compendium;" and, Greek classic, or portion of one, as a gift to the students of his house. His reputation as a divine has already been alluded to in the account of Dr. Jane. He But his acquirements were not confined to matters of theological and classical literature, he was particularly fond of the study of architecture, upon which he wrote a small treatise; but the work, although partially printed, was never completed, or published. He designed the models for Peckwater and Canterbury quadrangles, but they were not finished according to his plan. He cultivated chemistry, and was a mem- ber of a society formed at Oxford for the study of that science, in 1683. He excelled also in music, and composed the glee, "Hark, the bonny Christ-Church Bells." There is also a catch which he composed, to be sung by himself and three other friends whilst smoking their pipes,- a practice to which he was much addicted. He possessed a noble collection of church music, and delighted in adapting English words to Italian score. He made a very good governor of his college, and was held in high estimation in the university, where he had much in- fluence. He was a great encourager of learning, and yet a person of singular mo- desty and humility. He was buried, by his own desire, in Christ Church cathedral, without any monument; but, in 1732, one was erected to him by Mr. George Clarke, with the following inscriptions:- On a pillar round a profile or medallion- • HENRICUS.

He was a younger son of Dr. Peter Heylin, of Minster Lovell, Oxford; which Dr. Peter Heylin was a prebendary of Westminster, and well known for his writings in the early part of the seven- teenth century, and also for his sufferings during the Rebellion. From the account given of him by Anthony à Wood, it seems that he was married in 1628, and went to reside at Minster Lovell, where he took a farm of his nephew, Col. Henry Heylin, in 1647. Dr. Heylin had eleven children, and died in May 1662. Thomas Heylin is thus described in the Matriculation Register of the University- "July 19, 1662. Thos. Heylin, an. 13.

He was born in 1646: his father, whose Christian name was William, was a clergyman, who lived at Pontsbury, in Shrop- shire. Corbet was sent to a private school at Shrewsbury, where he made rapid progress in learning; but he remained at that school only a short time, as his friends sent him to France to be touched by Charles II., for the cure of the king's-evil, from which malady he was so great a sufferer as to be forced to go upon crutches. In May, 1658, he was sent to Westminster School, and, in 1659, admitted a king's scholar. Here it "was usual with him to speak 40 or 50 smooth and elegant verses, extempore, in little more than half an hour.' At Christ Church, he applied himself with success to philosophy, and the higher branches of study. Having taken the degree of B.A. in 1667, he studied medicine, and his reputation was not im- paired by his application to this science. We find him reciting, with great applause, a Pindaric ode, on the opening of the Shel- donian theatre in 1669. He took his master's degree in 1669. وو Besides the ode above mentioned, which was printed, he left behind him "Divers Poems" in MS., and among them a trans- lation of Corneille's tragedy of "Othon." Wood calls him "the most forward person of his age in the university, for his polite learning." He was buried in Cundore Church, Salop, having died on the 18th of January, 1670-1. -Ath.

The letters patent for his appointment to the see of Killaloe were dated June 5, 1693, and he was consecrated on the Trinity Sunday following, in the parish church of St. Peter and St. Paul, at Dunboyne.

One Thomas Jephson, of Sidney College, Cambridge, took the degree of B.A. 1670.-Cant. Grad.] 10 E. SETTLE, poet laureate to the city of London; he was the rival and antago- nist of J. Dryden the poet. [The son of Joseph Settle, of Dunstable, at which place he was born in 1648. He was entered a commoner of Trinity College, Oxford, in the Midsummer term of 1666; but left the university without taking a degree, and came to London, where he set up as an author, and especially as a dramatic poet. In this line, partly by the influence of party, but still more through Lord Roches- ter's spite against Dryden, he had, at first, considerable success. "Cambyses," his first tragedy, was acted in 1671, for three weeks together; the "Empress of Morocco," his next production, received still greater honors; for, besides being acted for a month at the theatre, it was, through the influence of Rochester, represented at court, Lord Mulgrave writing the prologue, which was spoken by Lady Betty Howard. It was the first play ever sold in England at so high a price as two shillings, and the first that ever had wood-cuts. These tem- porary successes so elated Settle that he attacked Dryden, in a dedication of the "Empress of Morocco" to Lord Norwich. In 1675, Rochester abandoned Settle, and took up Crowne. Elkanah also dabbled in politics;--began by being a violent whig; burnt the pope; was taken into the confidence of Shaftesbury, and intrusted with the composition of a libel on the Duke of York, called "The Character of a Popish Successor." He solemnly recanted all these principles in 1683, being then poet laureate to the city, where the Tory interest was in the ascendant. He was as zealous on be- half of his new friends as he had been for his old ones, wrote a panegyric on Judge Jeffreys, a congratulatory poem on James the Second's coronation in 1685, and even joined the king's camp on Hounslow Heath, as a trooper, before the revolution. The lamentable end of his literary glory, and his being reduced to act in a green dragon of his own invention, at Bartholo- mew fair, are well known from Pope's lines in the Dunciad, bk. iii. 283. "Tho' long my Party built on me their hopes, For writing Pamphlets, and for roasting Popes; Yet lo! in me what authors have to brag on! Reduc'd at last to hiss in my own dragon. Avert it, Heav'n! that thou, my Cibber, e'er Should'st wag a serpent-tail in Smithfield fair." Notwithstanding the nineteen dramatic pieces which he wrote (eighteen of which were published), he verified the predic- tion of Dryden, when, in speaking of him and Shadwell, he said, in Absalom and Achitophel,- "Who by my muse to all succeeding times, Shall live, in spite of their own doggrel rhimes." Settle possessed at one time a good for- tune, which he squandered away. In spite of his folly, his vanity, and his political tergiversations, his contemporaries admit his moral character to have been good; and he is said to have had a more poetical ear than most of the inferior versifiers of his time. This facility in scribbling Dryden seems to imply in the following lines:- "Doeg, tho' without knowing how or why, Made still a blundering kind of melody; Spurr'd boldly on, and dash'd thro' thick and thin, Thro' sense and nonsense, never out nor in; Free from all meaning, whether good or bad, And in one word heroically mad. He was too warm on picking work to dwell, But fagotted his notions as they fell, And if they rhim'd and rattl'd, all was well." In 1722, he published "Minervæ Sacellum," or "The Muses Address to the Rt. Hon. the Earl of Burlington, on the erecting the New Dormitory for the King's Scholars at Westminster."

He was made a faculty student ;-became secretary to the Earl of Ossory (when that nobleman acted as deputy for his father, the Duke of Ormonde, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland), and, during some years of Queen Anne's reign, held the offices of Comptroller of the Mint, and Under Secretary of State; -sat for Harwich in the Parliaments of 1705 and 1707, and, at the time of his death, was a Justice of the Peace for the city of Westminster, and county of Mid- dlesex. About the time of the Revolution, Mr. Ellis was Secretary to the Commis- sioners for the Public Revenue in Ireland; and two volumes of his correspondence, during that interesting period, were pub- lished, in 1829, by the late Lord Dover, the descendant of his brother Welbore. His intrigues with the Duchess of Cleveland are alluded to in Pope's translation of the second satire of the first book of Horace. He was the eldest son of the Rev. John Ellis, rector of Waddesdon, Bucks, who died in 1681, leaving six sons and three daughters: these were (as the inscription on his monu- ment relates) "omnes liberaliter educatos.' The six sons were, this John,-William (Election 1665), Samuel (Admissions 1665), Philip (Admissions 1667), Welbore (Elec- tion 1680), and Charles (Election 1681). Their mother, whose maiden name was Susanna Welbore, sprang from a family of that name in Cambridgeshire.-Ath. Ox. iii. 710-11; Lipscombe's Bucks, i. 508; Gent's. Mag. viii. 380; Hist. Reg., 1738, Chron. Diary, 27; Ellis Corresp.] وو 2 [R. PEERS was the son of Richard Peers, a tanner, in the city of Down, Ire- land. His father began to give him the rudiments of a liberal education, but, finding his means insufficient to continue it, apprenticed him to his own trade. Young Peers fled in disgust from the occupation, and, landing at Bristol, there obtained the protection of a near relation. By him he was sent to a preparatory school, and thence removed to West- minster, where, "by the intercession of his friends, he was sped a King's Scholar," and favorably noticed by Dr. Busby. At Christ Church he eked out his scanty means of subsistence by "making the ex- ercises of idle scholars." So early as 1667, he published "Four small Copies of Verses, made on sundry occasions;" the first being on Dr. Fell's return from the Westminster College Election, in May, 1666. B.A. 1668; and, in 1669, he contributed a set of verses to the Oxford poems, on the death of the Duke of Albemarle. He proceeded M.A. 1671; and was "elected superior beadle of 160 Arts, and afterwards of Physic," in the university. Having reason to think that James II. intended to deprive him of his office, in order to confer it on some Ro- manist adherent, he began to study me- dicine, and obtained a licence to practise that faculty, July 6, 1688; but he gave up this intention when the cause of his appre- hension was removed. He died at his house. at Holywell, near Oxford, August 12, 1690, and was buried in St. Aldate's church, in the middle aisle of which is a flat stone to his memory. In 1670, when Bishop Fell (page 23), undertook, at his own cost, the translation, into Latin, of "Wood's Hist. and Antiq. of the Univ. of Oxon," he selected Peers as one of the two translators whom he paid for the work. Wood describes the task as an unpleasant one, from the numerous correc- tions made by the Bishop, and says that Peers executed it very disagreeably to- wards himself; but he admits that "at length the translator, by his great diligence and observation, overcoming the difficulties, became a compleat master of the Latin tongue, and what he did was excellent," &c. He wrote, besides, "a Description of the seventeen Provinces of the Netherlands, Oxon. 1682," for the fourth volume of "The English Atlas." He published a Catalogue of the names of all the Graduates at Oxford, between Oct. 10, 1659, and July 14, 1688; a publication which, with its continuations down to 1815, has been made frequent use of by the editor of this work. This name was written Pierce in the former edition-an evident error of the press-for the Buttery Book, and the Cata- logue of Oxford Graduates, concur with Wood in spelling the name as it now stands, the only discrepancy being that Wood gives 1665 as the year of his election from Westminster.-Wood's Life, 67-8. 74. 85; Ath.

He died at Rome, in the communion of the Church of England, in the autumn of 1732, being about 90 years old. He was brother to John Ellis (see the preceding Election). "He was removed from his place of stu- dent, for taking the degree of M.A. at Cam- bridge, in 1671, not having first his grace in his own college; and, notwithstanding the intercession of the Prince of Orange, in whose train he visited that university, was never restored.

Meredith, rector of Landulp, in Cornwall, in which county he was born; and at the time of his quitting Westminster aged 17 years. He left Oxford, without having taken a degree, to enter into the family of Sir W. Godolphin (Election 1651), and he followed the example of his patron by pro- fessing himself a Romanist. He was the author of two pamphlets, one published anonymously, in 1682, called, "Some Remarques upon a popular piece of nonsence (by Sam Johnson), called Julian the Apostate, &c., together with a vindi- cation of the Duke of York." The other, which appeared in 1688, was entitled, "Some further remarks on the late account given by Dr. Tenison, of his conference with Mr. Pulton, the Jesuit," &c. Mere- dith had been present at that singular conference, on the 29th of September, 1687, which produced such a paper war between the parties-had acted as a witness of it, and even taken an active part in it, as a coadjutor to Pulton. Dr. Tenison having published the objections he had stated to Meredith's competency as an umpire, among which was his having been con- verted when very young; Meredith, in his "Remarks," gives the date of his con- version in these words :-"I know not what the Doctor calls young; but it was not 'till I had gone through one of the best and most careful schools in England (West- minster School), and spent above three years at the university, and as many in Spain." From this it would appear doubt- ful whether Wood is correct in his asser- tion that Meredith took no degree at Ox- ford.-Ath.

At one time, he thought of following his brothers to Ire- land; but in June, 1688, through the great influence with the Court of his brother Philip (Admissions 1667), he was appointed Marshal of the King's Bench, and is said to have set himself, during his short tenure of the office, "to regulate the disorders and abuses of that prison."

Dr. Áltham was de- prived of his professorship and canonry in 1697, probably because he was a non- juror, but he was restored to them in 1702. He died August 15, 1714, aged about 66, and was buried in Christ Church cathe- dral. He was probably related to the Roger Altham, who occurs under Election 1677.-Fasti Ox. ii. 386; Hist. and Antiq. ii. 851, iii. 501, Appx. 150; Cat. of Oxf. Grad.; Willis's Cath.

TRELAWNY, baronet, Bishop of Bristol, 1685; Bishop of Exeter, 1689; and Bishop of Winchester, 1707; died 1721. [Sir Jonathan Trelawny was the second son of a father whose names he bore, and was born at Pelynt, in Cornwall, about the year 1650 his mother was Mary, daughter of Sir Edward Seymour, bart., of Berry Pome- roy, Devon ;-B.A. 1672;-M.A. 1675. He was promoted to several benefices in his own county, among which were the rec- tories of St. Ives, and of Southill. death of his elder brother, in 1680, did not withdraw him from his profession, the du- ties of which he ever discharged with zeal and assiduity. He was created D.D. by diploma, Oct. 26, and his consecration as bishop took place at Lambeth, Nov. 8, 1685. He braved the anger of James II., in 1687, by refusing to sign the address to him for his declaration in favor of religious tolera- tion; and was one of the six bishops who, together with Archbishop Sancroft, were committed to the Tower for subscribing the petition to the King, wherein they shewed "their great averseness to the distributing and publishing in their churches his Ma- jesty's late declaration for liberty of con- science," &c. On the presentation of the 166 petition, he made a speech, in which he reminded the King of the loyalty of his family, and of the zeal which he himself had recently shewn, at his bidding, in quell- ing the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion in Cornwall. Atterbury intimates that the Bishop hastened up to London in order to assist the other prelates in their remonstrance. The facts connected with their imprison- ment and triumphant acquittal, on the 15th of June, are too much a matter of history to require more than a passing allusion here. Bishop Trelawny was translated to Exe- ter, April 13, 1689. In the convocation of 1701, he, together with the Bishops of London and Rochester, took part with the Lower House, in their opposition to the remainder of the Upper Ilouse, and entered Dissents against their proceedings. In 1704, he accepted the archdeaconry of Exeter, in commendam, and kept it until his translation to Winchester, which oc- curred on the 14th of January, 1707. Bishop Burnet says that Trelawny's re- moval to Winchester was owing solely to the great influence of his family in Corn- wall, as he was a person of no merit,- assertions made (as Lord Dartmouth re- marks in his note on the passage) under feelings of disappointment, as he expected to have been translated to one of the sees then vacant. Bishop Trelawny was a governor of the Charter House. He died on the 19th of July, and lies buried among his ancestors at Pelynt. Mr. Granger gives his character in the following passage:- "He was a man of polite manners, com- petent learning, and uncommon knowledge of the world. He was a true son and friend of the church, and exerted himself with courage and alacrity, with magnanimity and address, in defence of her just rights and privileges. He was friendly, open, generous and charitable, was a good com- panion, and a good man.' "" Bishop Atterbury, in the eloquent dedi- cation of his sermons to Sir Jonathan Trelawny, gives a glowing description of the manner in which this prelate discharged the functions of his high station, and of the services which he had rendered both to the Church and to the State. The popularity he enjoyed in his native county is well shewn by the following lines from a ballad, which was current in Cornwall when he was sent to the Tower, and the Cornishmen were preparing to march to London to demand his liberation: "And shall Trelawny die? And shall Trelawny die? Here's twenty-thousand Cornishmen Will know the reason why." He married Rebecca, daughter of Thos. Hale, Esq., of Bascomb, Devon, by whom he had several children. Charles and Ed- ward will be mentioned hereafter, under Elections 1713 and 1717. See also G. Al- lanson (Election 1713). His picture, by Kneller, is in Christ Church Hall, and his arms are engraven on the south quarter of Tom gateway. He gave to the college the statue of Cardinal Wolsey, which is over the gateway leading to the Hall. The only publication extant of his is the sermon which he was selected by Queen Anne to preach before her, and both the Houses of Parliament, in St. Paul's cathe- dral, on the 12th of Nov. 1702, for the suc- cesses of the Allied Troops in that year. An account of his proceedings in his visitation of Exeter College, Oxford, was published by J. Harrington (Election 1683), in 1690.- -Ath.

PRIDEAUX, [installed] prebendary of Norwich [August 15], 1681; dean of Norwich [June 8], 1702; author of the Connection of the Old and New Testament; died [Nov. 1], 1724. [He was born at Pad- stow, in Cornwall, on the 3rd of May, 1648, being the third son of Edmund Prideaux, who was descended from a family of some antiquity in that county. He received his first schooling at Liskeard and Bodmin. Soon after he had taken the degree of B.A., he was engaged by Dr. Fell to contribute the notes to an edition of Florus, then printing at the University Press. In 1675, he took his M.A. degree; and, in the fol- lowing year, published his account of the Arundel Marbles, under the title of "Mar- mora Oxoniensia," a work which raised his reputation considerably. Evelyn, who in- troduced him to the Duke of Norfolk, that he might present that nobleman with a copy of a work in which he was so much interested, calls him "a man most learned in antiquities.' He became one of the tutors of Christ Church: amongst his pupils was a son of the Earl of Nottingham, then Lord Chancellor, who appointed him his chaplain, made him rector of St. Clements, Oxford, about 1675, and gave him the pre- 29 167 bend at Norwich, in which he was installed, Aug. 15, 1681. He took the degree of B.D., 1682. Prideaux did not want for interest when Lord Nottingham resigned the seals in 1682, for Lord Guildford presented him in that year to the rectory of Bladen cum Woodstock, Oxon, which he was allowed to accept without vacating his studentship. At this time he held the office of Librarian at Christ Church, and was also Dr. Busby's Hebrew lecturer: he is said to have been unpopular among the students, from his desire to correct abuses, and restore disci- pline. In 1686, he exchanged the living of Bladen for that of Soham Tony, in Suffolk; on the 8th of June, 1687, proceeded D.D., and, on the 20th of Dec., 1688, was installed archdeacon of Suffolk. In that year, too, he published a work against the Romanists, on the validity of the Orders of the Church of England; and stirred up the clergy to resist the Popish encroachments of the King. In the next year, he was very suc- cessful in persuading the clergy under him to take the oaths to the new Government; and, in the winter, attended the Convoca- tion, which met for revising the Liturgy. Even before his promotion to the deanery of Norwich, he managed most of the affairs of the cathedral, during the absence of the then dean in London, and was much be- loved by the Chapter. He declined the Oxford professorship of Hebrew, vacant by the death of Dr. Pocock, in 1691 (see R. Altham); and also the bishoprick of Norwich, on Dr. Lloyd's de- privation. He resigned his preferments in Suffolk, in 1694, but held the vicarage of Towse, a cure in the gift of his Chapter, worth only forty pounds a year, from 1696 until 1709. He was buried in the cathedral at Norwich. Dr. Prideaux was very well read in oriental literature, and ecclesiastical his- tory. Three years before his death, he gave his valuable collection of oriental MSS. to Clare Hall, Cambridge: it contained 300 volumes. He published his Life of Mahomet, in 1697; and the first part of his "Connection of the Old and New Testament" appeared in 1717; the second in 1718: this last work was dedicated to Lord Nottingham, and went through eight editions in London, and two or three in Dublin, before the end of 1720. He was also the author of many other works. At the request of Lord Townshend, he drew up 56 articles for the reform of the universities; among them was one, found- ing an hospital for superannuated and use- less fellows of colleges, to be called "Drone Hall," the fellows to be allowed £20 a year each. A Latin letter of his to Dr. Busby is printed in Nichols' Illustrations. There are several pictures of him: a print, by Vertue, from one of them was pre- fixed to his "Connection."-Ath.

He was alive in 1702, as appears by his being trustee for a charity left by his uncle, Thos. Darell. His father held several offices of trust in the households of Charles I. and Charles II.. and was a chief agent in the unsuccessful attempt of the former to escape from his confinement in the Isle of Wight. A curious account of this attempted escape is given in Dean Barwick's Life, pp. 88. 90, 91. Sir Henry's second son was created a baronet, 1698.

He was also rector of Bermondsey, from 1723-4 till 1726-7. He died June 22, 1731, and was buried at Newington. Sir Richard Steele calls him Mr. Caswell in the Tatler, No. 55, where he is referred to as having witnessed the wonderful re- storation to sight, by the operation of couch- ing, of a boy, alleged to have been born blind. A pamphlet, said to be written by Dr. Taswell, which appeared in 1709, declared that his name had been made use of without his permission, and threw discredit upon the principal circumstances. of the case. A copy of verses by him appeared in the Oxford poems, on the death of Charles the Second, 1685. He was the author of a visitation sermon in 1712, and, in 1718, of a work called "Physica Aristotelica modernæ accommo- datior, in usum juventutis academicæ;" this was dedicated to Bishop Smalridge (Election 1682), formerly one of his pupils at Christ Church. He was also engaged in a controversy with the Quakers, as appears by John Fal- lowfield's "Brief Examination of W.

He was a near relation, probably nephew, of Milton's favorite pupil, and "familiar learned ac- quaintance," Cyriack Skinner, to whom the poet committed the MS. of his "Idea Theologiæ." Cyriack appears to have left the matter of the publication of this trea- tise to Daniel Skinner, who, in October, 1674, had been admitted a Minor Fellow of Trinity College. The latter, accordingly, opened a negotiation with the famous Daniel Elzevir, for printing that work, and the State Letters, and in the State-Paper Office is his own attestation, dated October 18, 1676, that he had sent the copy to Amsterdam for that purpose. Elzevir find- ing many things in them which, in his opinion, had better be "suppressed than divulged," declined to print them, and gave notice of the transaction to the Secretary of State in England, adding, that Skinner had been with him, approved of his refusal, and carried off the manuscript. This letter is dated November, and, in the February following, the Master of his College, Dr. Barrow, ordered Skinner, by letter, "to repair immediately to the College, no fur- ther allowance to discontinue being granted to you this you are to doe upon penalty of ye Statute, which is expulsion from the College if you disobey.

The letter reached Skinner at Paris, by a private hand, in March, and he returned a cavalier answer by the bearer of it. He soon, however, came back to England with the papers, and atoned for his con- tumacy, by revealing all he knew of them, and delivering them to Sir Joseph Wil- liamson, the Secretary of State. This step made his peace with his College, as well as with the Government, and he was elected a Major Fellow, in May, 1679-a grace which up to that time had been refused him- although he had taken his degree of M.A. in 1677. The papers, wrapped up in the proof sheets of an Elzevir Horace, and addressed to him, were found on the shelves of the Old State-Paper Office in Whitehall, in the year 1823. The State Letters, and nearly 200 pages of the Treatise, were copied for the printer in his own hand-writing. There is a copy of verses by him among the Cambridge poems, on the death of the Duchess of York, in 1671.-Cole's MSS., xlv. 243. 326; Cant. Grad.; Todd's Milton, i. 293. 301.] 8 [C.

At his death he was sub-dean and senior prebendary of Westminster, and also vicar of St. Bride's, London, to which living he was appointed in 1710. In the law-suit, which arose in 1771 about the situation of the dormitory, Mr. Evans was of the party who agreed with Bishop Atterbury in the opinion that it ought to be erected in the College Garden, where it now stands. He died a bachelor, having nearly reached the age of 80. His character is thus given in the newspapers of the time :-"He was not much esteemed as a preacher, but was a man of great humanity and charity, and very well respected in his parish."

Although his talents procured him a great reputation at the university, he did not, by turning his abilities to their right use, fulfil the promise of his youth; and his death was accelerated, if not occa- sioned, by the excesses into which he had fallen. He lived obscurely in Oxford for some months before his death, and was buried in the church-yard of St. Thomas. He wrote several poems; two of them (which had been recited in the theatre at Ox- ford, by two young noblemen, on the visit of the Duke and Duchess of York and the Princess Anne, in 1681), were printed in the "Examen Poeticum."

On the 18th of November, 1682, he made the oration on Sir Thomas Bodley, being the first person nominated to a benefaction left for that purpose by Dr. John Morris, canon of Christ Church. One of his sermons was printed, and he was the author of two sets of Latin verses, in the Musæ Anglicana-one on the recast- ing of the "Great Tom" of Christ Church. He was also a contributor to the collection of poems, published at Oxford, in 1685, on the death of Charles II. His edition of Lactantius was dedicated to Dr Busby.

Dr. William Dowdeswell, the father (who is supposed to have been himself educated at Westminster), is mentioned by Anthony à Wood as D.C.L. of Pembroke College, in 1642, and "accounted a learned man among those of his society." He was a prebendary of Worcester, and held two livings. He died poor, in 1671, having suffered during the civil war. The subject of the present notice became M.A. 1680, and was, in that year, presented by his mother to the rectory of Kingham, Oxon; the advowson of which, together with a small estate in the neighbourhood, had been purchased by his father. He married Ann, only child of Mr. Bernard Gibbard, and, by her, was father of C. Dowdeswell (Election 1704), of W. Dowdes- well, who succeeded him at Kingham (Elec- tion 1707), and of B. Dowdeswell (Election 1720). He died in 1711, and was buried at Kingham. He built the present chancel of the church, and, in 1688, the rectory house, at that place. Most of this information has been kindly furnished by the Rev. JOHN W. LOCKWOOD, the present rector of Kingham, and himself lineally descended from this Mr. Dowdeswell. It seems appropriate also 175 to mention here that Mr. Lockwood was brought up at Westminster School, as were several generations of his father's family, but none of them were on the foundation. Such is the case also with the senior branches of the Dowdeswell family, who, up to the present time, have been brought up at Westminster. We may instance the Right Honorable WILLIAM DOWDESWELL, the friend of Burke, M.P. for Worcestershire, and Chancellor of the Exchequer in Lord Rockingham's administration in 1765; and, among his sons, the Rev. EDWARD CHRIS- TOPHER DOWDESWELL, D.D., canon of Christ Church, lately deceased, and JOHN EDMUND DOWDESWELL, Esq., of Pull Court, Master in Chancery, and the eldest son of the latter gentleman, WILLIAM DOWDESWELL, M.P. for Tewkesbury from 1835 till 1847.-Oxford Grad.; Fasti Ox. i. 460, ii. 43; Burke's Landed Gentry.] 2 G. DOLBEN, judge of the court of Common Pleas, Ireland; created a baronet by Queen Anne [April 1], 1704; Member of Parliament for Ripon, 1685; for Peter- borough, 1688 to 1710; and for Yarmouth [Isle of Wight], 1713; died [Oct. 22], 1722, aged 64. [The eldest of the two sons of the Arch- bishop (Election 1640).] He was a member of the British Parlia- ment for nearly 30 years, and a judge in Ireland for nearly 20. He resigned the last-named post in 1720. He married Anne, eldest daughter of Tanfield Mulso, Esq., of Thingden, or Fine- don, Northamptonshire, and co-heiress with her sister, Elizabeth, who married Sir Gil- bert's brother, John Dolben, M.P. for Liskeard. Sir Gilbert having purchased his brother's moiety, became the owner of the whole estate at Finedon. Sir Gilbert Dolben is chiefly remarkable for the assistance which he rendered to Dryden, when the poet was preparing his translation of Virgil. Dryden thus grate- fully expresses himself in the "Postscript to the Eneid:"-" Neither am I to forget the noble present which was made me by Gilbert Dolben, Esq., the worthy son of the late Archbishop of York; who, when I began this work, enriched me with all the several editions of Virgil, and all the com- mentaries of those editions in Latin." Lord Wharton is accused by Swift, in his "Ac- count of Thomas Lord Wharton," of having behaved ill to Judge Dolben, by a false report to the Queen, connected with the administration of justice, but to have failed of success in the attempt. His only son, Sir J. Dolben, will be noticed under the year 1700.-Hist. and Antiq. Appx. 294; "" Betham's Baronetage, iii. 136; Hist. Reg. 1715, Chron.

[The fourth son of Sir George Graham, bart., of Eske, Cumberland, M.A. 1680. In 1685, he wrote a set of verses, which were printed with the other Oxford poems, on the death of Charles II. On the 10th of August, in the same year, he was inducted rector of Whickham, co. Durham, which he held until his death. He was created D.D. June 14, 1686, and was chaplain in ordinary to the Princess Anne of Denmark. He died February 4, 1712-13, and was buried at Kensington, although there is no memorial is no mer of him in that church. RICHARD GRAHAM, the eldest brother of William, was educated at Westminster on School, although not on the foundation. He was removed to Christ Church; and, Feb. 4, 1666, created M.A. He represented Cockermouth in several Parliaments. In 1681, he was created a peer of Scotland, by the titles of Baron Graham, of Eske, and Viscount Preston. He still sat in the English Parliament, and, in 1685, was elected for Cumberland. In 1682, he was sent to France as ambas- sador; and, on his return to England, was made Master of the Wardrobe; and, Oct. 28, 1688, Secretary of State. Upon the flight of James II., he was sent to the Tower, but soon released. In January, 1690, he was again committed to the Tower, having been taken while attempting to escape to France; was tried for high trea- son, found guilty, and condemned to death; but the capital part of the sentence was remitted. Lord Preston died, December 22, 1695, and was interred in the chancel of Nunnington, Yorkshire, at which place he possessed a country seat. Wood describes him as "a gentleman of many accomplishments, and a zealous lover of the Church of England." He published, and illustrated with notes, an English translation of Boethius' Consolation of Phi- losophy (Fasti Ox. ii. 293-4). Upon the failure of the direct line, after the death of the last Lord Preston, the descendants of Dean Graham's eldest son inherited the baronetcy of Eske; while the Netherby estates were bequeathed, by a cousin, to the Dean's second son, Dr. Ro- bert Graham; whose son, James, created a 176 Hill A.D. 1675.1 'mading could ITI Old-Elected to Oxford.obt Tatoebed Thomas Haslewood¹.

DUKE, [installed] prebendary of Gloucester [July 6, 1688]; chaplain to Queen Anne; rector of Witney, Oxford- shire; died [Feb. 10], 1710-11. [B.A. 1678; M.A. 1682;-tutor to the Duke of Richmond. His works consist chiefly of translations of the ancient poets. The fourth Satire of Juvenal fell to his share in the translation of that poet which was made under Dryden's auspices; and, in conjunction with Dryden, Creech, Sir Wil- liam Temple, and other literary persons, he translated the Eclogues of Virgil. Speci- mens of his versification are likewise printed among the Cambridge poems on the mar- riages of the Princess Mary, in 1677, and Princess Anne, in 1683. He has also a copy of verses prefixed to Creech's transla- tion of Lucretius, in 1683; and one ad- dressed "To the unknown author of the admirable poem " of Absalom and Achi- tophel; and he wrote some lines which were spoken to Queen Catherine in the new court, at Trinity College on her visit to Cambridge. His poems were collected, and edited with those of Roscommon, in 1717. A volume, containing fifteen sermons by him, was published in 1714; two others had been printed separately, one in 1703, and the other in 1704. He was the intimate friend of Otway, who celebrated their attachment by ad- dressing a poetical epistle to him, which is printed among Otway's works. Dryden, too, whose partner he had been in many literary labors, has included several of Duke's poems in the first volume of his Miscellany. In January, 1687-8, he was made rector of Blaby, Leicestershire. Sometime after this, he entered himself a member of Christ Church, Oxford. He was chaplain to the Bishop of Winchester, by whom he was presented to Witney, of which he died. rector; but he appears to have resigned Blaby in 1708. He attended the Convoca- tion of 1688, as proctor for the cathedral of Gloucester. The following extract from Swift's jour- nal to Stella shows that Duke had at one time a considerable reputation :-" Feb. 14, 1710-11. Dr. Duke died suddenly two or three nights ago; he was one of the wits when we were children, but turned parson, and left it, and never writ farther than a prologue or recommendatory copy of verses. He had a fine living given him by the Bishop of Winchester, about three months ago; he got his living suddenly, and he got his dying so too." Sir Walter Scott says of him, that, if he was not "a prolific poet," he was yet "an efficient divine."- Cole's Athenæ, D, 40; MSS., xlv. 243. 328; Swift's Works (Scott), ii. 186; Johnson's Lives; Ath.

["The son of Richard Blackburne, of London, was ma- triculated of Ch. Ch., 20 Oct. 1676: be- came M.A. 28 Jan. 1683." Such is An- thony à Wood's account of this calumniated prelate; it seems clearly to refute, if such a fable needs refutation, the report so in- dustriously circulated during his lifetime, that he had been a buccaneer. This story was so prejudicial to his reputation, that he gave way for a time to the unpopularity which it occasioned, and resigned the sub- deanery of Exeter, in 1702, though he was reinstated in it, July 27, 1704. He seems to have owed his advancement to Bishop Trelawny (Election 1668), who, in 1697, made him his chaplain, and archdeacon of Cornwall, in which dignity he was installed, Jan. 26, 1714. He was afterwards nominated chaplain in ordinary to the King. He was consecrated to the office of bishop, Feb. 24, 1716-17; trans- lated to York, Nov. 28, 1724; and sworn 179 of the Privy Council, December 11 of that year. His only published works are some single sermons; one preached before the Queen, at Whitehall, in 1694; and another preached before the House of Commons (for which he received the thanks of the House), on the 30th of Jan. 1715-16; and also, a "Concio ad Synodum," delivered at St. Paul's, February 16, 1713, to the clergy of the province of Canterbury. There were other calumnious reports of him during his lifetime, but they seem to have had no foundation in truth. In his conduct as archbishop he displayed great discretion, and strictly defended the re- venues of his see. He had the reputation of being an excellent scholar, and a pleasant companion, which made his enemies say of him, that "he gained more hearts than souls." He died, March 23, 1742-3, and was in- terred in St. Margaret's, Westminster. Archbishop Blackburne's portrait is in Christ Church Hall, and in the Bodleian Library; the former was painted by High- more.

ALTHAM, archdeacon of Middlesex. [He was chosen Lecturer in Moral Philo- sophy at Oxford, in 1693; and, in that year, he filled the office of proctor in the university. Shortly after his ordination, he was made chaplain to Dr. Compton, Bishop of London, and by him appointed to a pre- bend in St. Paul's cathedral, in which he was installed, August 30, 1694; to the rectory of St. Andrew Undershaft, with St. Mary Axe annexed, Oct. 3, 1697; and to that of St. Botolph's, Bishopsgate Street, which he held till his death. He proceeded D.D. November 27, 1701;-was instituted vicar of Lutton, Essex, on the death of his father, the Rev. Michael Altham, July 14, 1705, and collated to the archdeaconry of Middlesex in 1717. He died, Feb. 28, 1729-30, at the age of 74, and was buried in Lutton church, where a monument, upon which an English in- scription was placed, was erected to him. He published several single sermons,- one, a sermon preached before the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, Jan. 30, 1702; and other tracts in divinity. A collection of his sermons, in two volumes, appeared after his death. In the notes to Bishop Atterbury's Correspondence, a great confusion is made between this Roger Altham and the one elected to Christ Church, in 1668; for this Dr. Altham never was either a canon of Christ Church, or Hebrew professor: the origin of this mistake will be seen by a reference to the notes on Election 1688.- Wood's Life, 118; Hist. and Antiq. ii. 875, Appx. 154; Cat. of Oxf.

[Charles, the fourth son of George, Montague (a younger son of the first Earl of Manchester), and Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Anthony Irby, knt., some- time M.P. for Durham, was born at Horton, Northamptonshire, April 16, 1661. He was sent to a private school in his native county, and not removed to Westminster until he was 14 years old. He was soon distinguished among his schoolfellows, by his power of writing exercises; "Insomuch that (as it is recorded in his life), he was always applauded for his extempore epi- grams, made upon Theses appointed for the King's Scholars at the time of Election, and had more presents made him, according to custom, on that account, than any one of his contemporaries." He would certainly have been elected to Oxford in 1688, but for his own interference to prevent it; for, having formed a great intimacy with G. Stepney, who was elected to Cambridge, in 1682, he prevailed upon his friends to send him to the same university. He was, ac- cordingly, admitted a fellow commoner of Trinity College, in 1682. At Cambridge he was kindly treated by his kinsman, Dr. Montagu, then master of Trinity (see page 27); and he there began a friendship with Sir Isaac Newton, which continued through life, and of which he shewed himself mind- ful in his will. In 1685, he wrote a copy of verses on the death of Charles II., which attracted Lord Dorset's attention, and paved the way for future favors. Montague had originally intended to take orders, but he altered his mind (on his marriage with the Countess Dowager of Manchester, the widow of his cousin), and bought the place of one of the Clerks of the Council. He was returned to Parliament, as mem- ber for the city of Durham, in 1685; and sat for Malden in the Convention Parlia- ment and until 1695, when he was returned for Westminster, which he represented until he was created a Peer, on the 4th of Dec. 1700. In 1687, he and Prior produced the Town and Country Mouse, in ridicule of Dryden's "Hind and Panther." There is an anecdote that, at the beginning of the new reign, Lord Dorset introduced him to King Wil- liam, remarking, that he had "brought a Mouse to kiss his Majesty's hand;" to which the King replied, "you will do well to put me in the way of making a Man of him ;" and added a pension of 500l. a year to this gracious reception. He was sworn of the Privy Council, Feb. 21, 1688-9. In 1695, he commenced the greatest work of his official life, the Recoinage, which he completed in two years. He projected the General Fund, and raised the credit of the Exchequer, in 1696; and adjusted the affairs of the East India Company, in 1698. From his first accession to office, he had been reckoned one of the leaders of the Whigs; and, upon the retirement of Lord Sunderland, in 1697, he was ap- pointed First Lord of the Treasury, and became the acknowledged head of that party. Burnet describes him in the fol- lowing passage:-"He had great vivacity and clearness, both of thought and ex- pression. His spirit was at first turned to wit and poetry, which he continued still to encourage in others, when he applied him- self to more important business. He came to have great notions with relation to all the concerns of the Treasury and of the public funds, and brought those matters into new and better methods." His services in Parliament were so conspicuous, that the House of Commons passed a resolution, that "Charles Montague, Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, for his good services to the Go- vernment, did deserve his Majesty's favor," a fact recorded in the patent of his barony, which was drawn up by his old friend, Matt. Prior (Admissions 1681). The Tories, when they came into power, attacked Montague with the bitterest en- mity, and presented articles of impeach- ment against him, Lord Somers, and other Whig Lords, in 1701. These " poor ac- cusations," as they are called by Burnet, had no other result than the disgust which they created in the country. Lord Halifax was, dismissed from the Council of Queen Anne. He was, however, deputed to carry the insignia of the Garter to the Elector of Hanover, who had been made a knight of that Order, April 6, 1706. He started on this mission on the 14th of April;-reached Hanover on the 29th,-and was received with great distinction by the Elector, and his mother, the Princess Sophia. It was at his suggestion that the Elector 182 of Hanover demanded, and obtained, his writ of summons to Parliament as Duke of Cambridge; and, upon the Queen's death, he was nominated one of the Regents of the kingdom. For this and other services he expected to have been made Prime Minister on the accession of the House of Hanover, and deemed himself ill rewarded by being the First Commissioner of the Treasury, to which he was appointed, October 13, 1714: although he was made a Knight of the Garter on the 16th, sworn Lord Lieutenant of the county of Surrey, Nov. 3, and raised two steps in the peerage at the same time. He closed his successful career on the 19th of May, 1715, and, by his own desire, was buried in the vault of Monk, Duke of Albemarle, in Westminster Abbey, his body having lain in state in the Jerusalem Chamber. The fourth volume of the Tatler was de- dicated to him by Sir Richard Steele, and also the second volume of the Spectator. There is extant an interesting letter to him from Dryden, in reference to the poet's projected translation of Homer. Montague, too, was one of those who assisted in de- fraying the expenses of Dryden's funeral, a circumstance not forgotten in the well- known satire of Pope, which should not be omitted even in the most compressed ac- count of this distinguished statesman:- Proud as Apollo on his forked hill, Sate full blown Bufo puff'd by ev'ry quill; Fed with soft Dedication all day long, Horace and he went hand in hand in song. His library (where busts of Poets dead, And a true Pindar stood without a head), Receiv'd of wits, an undistinguish'd race, Who first his judgment ask'd, and then a place: Much they extoll'd his pictures, much his seat, And flatter'd ev'ry day, and sometimes eat: Till grown more frugal in his riper days, He paid some bards with port, and some with praise, To some a dry rehearsal was assign'd, And others (harder still) he paid in kind. Dryden alone (what wonder?) came not nigh, Dryden alone escap'd this judging eye: But still the Great have kindness in reserve, He help'd to bury whom he help'd to starve. 001(Prologue to Satires, 231-48). Addison's lines (in his Account of the Greatest English Poets) are in a different strain, and may well follow as a sort of antidote to those of Pope :- I'm tir'd with rhiming, and would fain give o'er, But justice still demands one labour more: The noble Mountague remains unnam'd, For wit, for humour, and for judgment fam'd; To Dorset he directs his artful Muse, In numbers such as Dorset's self might use. How negligently graceful he unreins His verse, and writes in loose familiar strains; How Nassau's godlike acts adorn his lines, And all the Hero in full glory shines. * * * * * * But now to Nassau's secret councils rais'd, He aids the Hero, whom before he prais'd. Lord Halifax was a Member of the Kit Cat Club. Dr. Talbot (Election 1683), writing to Lord Herbert, from Cambridge, in Novem- ber, 1697, and apologising for the ab- sence of English verse among the Cam- bridge Poems on the Peace, says, "English poetry is not the constant growth of this soil." * * * "'Tis enough, if once in a reign our university can produce a Mountague or a Dryden.' This letter is printed in Warner's Epistolary Curiosities (pt. i. 167). ,, Lord Halifax has the great merit of being the first person who formed a design for a public library in London.

He was born at Bandon, in Cork, Oct. 28, 1659, and was at first sent to school at St. Finberry's, in that town, until his removal to Westminster, when he was twelve years old. He resided but four years at Oxford; after which he went to live with his father at Dublin, commenced B.A.,-and proceeded with the second degree in Arts in the year after. He was domestic chaplain to Bishop Wetenhall (Election 1655), from whom he obtained his first preferment in his stall at St. Barry's, to which the Bishop added the living of Kinaglarchy, also in the county of Cork. - His activity in resisting the Popish en- croachments of James II. brought him into trouble when that unhappy Prince raised his standard in Ireland; but, during the struggle that ensued, Brady had three times the satisfaction of successfully exert- ing his influence with Gen. MacCarty, and rescuing his native place from the destruc- tion to which James had condemned it. When the danger was over, the inhabitants. of Bandon deputed him to lay their grievances before the English Parliament, and to obtain compensation for the losses they had endured. Whilst in England, the university of Dublin conferred upon him the unwonted honor of sending him his diploma of D.D., by the hands of their Senior Travelling Fellow. In London, he was much admired as a preacher, and his reputation procured him preferment. He was chosen lecturer of St. Michael's, Wood Street; and, in 1691, licensed to the cure of St. Catharine's Cree Church, which he resigned in 1696, when he received the appointment of chaplain, or curate, of Richmond, in Surrey. He was appointed rector of Clapham, Feb. 21, 1705-6, of which benefice he was possessed at his death, which took place, May 20, 1726, at the age of 67. He was also chaplain to the Princess of Wales, and to the Duke of Ormonde's troop of Horse Guards, and rector of Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire, from 1702 until 1705. His poverty compelled him to keep a school at Richmond for some years; and Sir R. Steele, in No. 168 of the Spectator, gives a pleasing account, in the form of a letter from a boy under his care, of the amiable manner in which he managed his charge. Besides his version of the Psalms, he published three volumes of sermons in 1704, 1706, and 1713, to which his son, 184 A.D. 1679. Elected to Oxford. Augustine Spalding'. Thomas Cooper.

He also translated, into blank verse, Virgil's Eneid, which ap- peared in four volumes just before his death. Dr. Johnson says of this attempt, that "when dragged into the world it did not live long enough to cry." Dr. Brady married, in 1690, a daughter of Dr. Synge, Archdeacon of Cork.

He signed the petition against the proceedings of Dr. Bentley, in 1709; and Bentley, in his re- venge, attacked him in a scurrilous manner in his letter to the Bishop of Ely, and called him a lunatic, which elicited a defence from Dr. T. Blomer, in which Jordan is stated to be leading a regular and inoffensive life. He became one of the senior fellows in 1713; and, in 1716, he was persuaded by Bentley to declare the pamphlet, entitled "The Humble and Serious Representation of the Present State of Trinity College," to be a malicious libel. On a similar occasion, in 1719, when the question of pronouncing the "True Account of the Present State of Trinity College under the oppressive Go- vernment of their Master, Richard Bentley, D.D.," to be a libel, was proposed, he re- fused to sign the resolution; and this is the last mention that has been found of him.-Cole's MSS., xlv. 243. 330, Athenæ, J.; Cant.

Biographia Britannica, vol. i. p. 530; corrected by the Bishop's Epistolary Correspondence. [Francis Atterbury was born on the 6th of March, 1661-2, at Middleton Keynes, Bucks, of which place (as well as of Long Rissington, Gloucestershire), his father, Dr. Lewis Atterbury, was rector. His great. talents began to develop themselves at Westminster School, under the discerning sagacity of Dr. Busby; and the published correspondence of the Bishop appropriately opens with a Latin epistle to his late mas- ter, couched in terms of gratitude, and written very soon after his removal to the university. In 1682, before he had attained the age of 20, he published a Latin version of Dryden's Absalom and Achitophel. In 1684 (the year in which he took the degree of B.A.), he published, with a neat preface, 'Aveoλoyía, being a selection from the poems of Italians who had written in Latin. This work, though the author was then un- known, was much praised by Dr. Johnson. دو In 1687 (the year in which he became M.A.), appeared the first specimen of his controversial abilities, in an answer to some considerations on the spirit of "Martin Luther, and the Original of the Reformation:" this was one of the tracts, published by the divines of the Church of England, to counteract the Popish designs of James the Second; which tracts, Burnet says, displayed "a solidity of judgment, a clearness of argument, a depth of learning, and a vivacity of writing, far beyond any- thing that had before that time appeared in our language.' There are also some poetical compositions of his, written about this time, both translations and original pieces: but his time was chiefly occupied with his pupil, Mr. Boyle, who afterwards succeeded his brother in the family title of Earl of Orrery. This young nobleman's reputation for classical literature became conspicuous through the edition of the Let- ters of Phalaris-which he was selected by Dean Aldrich to publish-and which all the wits of Christ Church were afterwards sum- moned to defend against the learning and rough criticism of Dr. Bentley. Atterbury's share in the publication of the examination of Dr. Bentley's "Dissertation" is declared by himself, in the following extract from his angry letter to Mr. Boyle, in 1697-8;- "Some time and trouble this matter cost me. In laying the design of the book, in writing above half of it, in reviewing a good part of the rest, in transcribing the whole, and attending the press, half a year of my life went away." The work came out in 1698. Its popularity at first, and the ulti- mate triumph of Dr. Bentley, are well known. Atterbury was made censor of Christ Church about 1690, and was ordained about the end of that year: in the following year, he was nominated to the Catechetical Lec- ture, founded by Dr. Busby. The recom- mendation of Bishop Compton had procured his election to the office of lecturer at St. Bride's, London, October, 1691. He preached before the Queen at Whitehall, although neither a Whitehall preacher, nor chaplain to her Majesty. He removed to Chelsea in 1694. About the end of 1699, or early in 1700, he gave to the world his answer to Dr. Wake's "Authority of Christian Princes over their ecclesiastical Synods," under the title of the "Rights, Powers, and Privileges of an English Convocation stated and vin- dicated." The work was attended with astonishing success. His antagonist him- self writes to Dr. Charlett, March 28, 1700; "I need not tell you that the world here (London) is as full of Mr. Atterbury's book as I left it at Oxford." * * "In this all agree that it was writ with a hearty good will, and may be a pattern of charity and good breeding." The stir which this book made was not confined to the clergy. In November the judges held a consultation on it, being of opinion that it intrenched on the King's prerogative. Before the Con- vocation met in February, 1700-1, the book went into a second edition, which the author enlarged, and to which he affixed his name, and a dedication to the two archbishops. He also exerted himself per- sonally in the Convocation, and was the chief agent in putting Dr. Hooper (Election 1657), in the prolocutor's chair. He was present on the 10th of March, 1700-1, when King William received the address of the Convocation. On the 8th of April, the * Lower House of Convocation, on the motion of Dr. Jane (Election 1660), voted him their thanks "for his learned pains in as- serting and vindicating the rights of Con- vocation,' vocation," and wrote to the university of Oxford, requesting that that body would "confer on him the degree of Doctor of Divinity by diploma, without doing exercise or paying fee;"-a request which was im- mediately complied with. Dr. Smalridge (Election 1682), described him, on present- ing him to the Upper House of Convoca- tion, after his election as prolocutor, as 187 "Vir in nullo literarum genere hospes, in plerisque artibus, et studiis diù et feliciter exercitatus, in maximè perfectis literarum. disciplinis perfectissimus." He was chosen a Busby Trustee in Feb. 1705. In the following May, he received the thanks of the Chapter of Exeter, "for his disinterested regard for the peace and honor of that society." In 1706, he was appointed chaplain to Sir Thomas Rawlin- son, then Lord Mayor of London. He is said to have composed the speech which Dr. Sacheverell delivered on his trial, in 1708-9. Immediately upon his promotion to the deanery of Christ Church, we find him zealous in promoting the studies of that society, and deeply interested in the suc- cess of those young men who had come thither from Westminster. He also added a new gallery to the library at Christ Church, to contain the books which his predecessor (Election 1662) had bequeathed. He was active and constant in his atten- tion to his Parliamentary duties after his elevation to the bench of Bishops, and many of the protests in the House of Lords were written by him-e. g., those on the Quakers' Bill, in 1721 and 1722. The Bishop was apprehended and com- mitted to the Tower, on the 24th of August, 1722, and, on the 18th of June, 1723, left England for Calais. The skill and eloquence displayed by him in his defence, and the incompleteness of the evidence on which he was condemned, combined with the secrecy preserved by the Government as to the extent and source of their information, made it long a matter of some doubt, how far (whatever his private feelings might lead him to desire) his actions had really deserved the penalty imposed upon him. That doubt has been set at rest by the recent publication of his letters to the Chevalier and his ministers, from the ciphers in his own hand among the Stuart papers. The first of these communications, dated August 15, 1717, and the Pretender's answer to it, show that he had been, even before that time, active in the cause of the exiled prince, but it is not quite so clear when his intrigues for the restoration of the House of Stuart began. He was consulted both by the Lord Chancellor Harcourt and Lord Bolingbroke, as to the conduct which it became them to adopt towards George I. on his accession; and, from his reply to the former, it seems improbable that he had then any treasonable intentions. The King, from the first, treated him with marked incivility, and openly slighted a courteous offer made by him after the coronation. After he had taken his resolution against the House of Hanover, he seems to have pursued his object with steadiness; and it is asserted, that it was not until after the ministers had endeavoured to bribe him with the reversion of the see of Winchester, and a large pension for himself, and a pro- vision for his son-in-law, that they deter- mined on his prosecution. Atterbury was not long in discovering that the titular Duke of Mar, Secretary of State to the Pretender, was the person who betrayed the secrets of that Prince's Court to the Government of George I. It is impossible to offer any justifica- tion, but that of the infirmity of human nature, for a man who, to resent a per- sonal insult, or to gratify his own restless ambition, seeks to involve his country in civil war; but, notwithstanding his poli- tical misconduct, Bishop Atterbury, it must be admitted, was, in many respects, the most remarkable prelate that England ever produced. Fully sensible of the sa- credness of his episcopal functions, he was very conscientious in the discharge of them, and especially scrupulous in the dis- tribution of patronage. In the Convoca- tion, the champion of the rights of the clergy-in the political arena, the most dreaded of his party:-as regards literature, the friend of Pope and Swift, and intimate with, and himself also eminent among, the wits of his day :-as a divine, the zealous defender of the tenets of the Church of England. This last is a merit which his greatest enemies have not denied him, and which he continued to deserve under cir- cumstances of peculiar temptation, when his power at the Court of the Pretender would have been irresistibly secured by professing himself a Romanist, and when the Sorbonne sent a select deputation of its members to convert him. "My Lords," said he, in his defence before his Peers, "ever since I knew what Popery was I disliked it, and the better I knew it the more I disliked it;" * * * "and whatever happens to me, I will suffer any- thing, and would (by God's grace) burn at a stake, rather than in any material point depart from the Protestant religion as professed in the Church of England:-" Celebrated as a preacher, his sermons must be judged of, not only by the perusal of them, practical as they are, and clothed in the chastest language, but also by what his contemporaries have told us of the effects produced by his discourses, and his graceful manner of delivering them. In the Tatler, No. 66, he is glowingly described as pos- sessing the qualities of an orator, who first -- BB 2 188 "convinces your reason" and then "wins your heart." 22 "So sweetly Rochester attracts the sense, So great the magic of his eloquence," sang one of whom Pope has said that, "Listening senates hung on all he spoke." One of the remarkable traits of Bishop Atterbury's private life was his gratitude to his patron, Bishop Trelawny, from whom he received his earliest preferment. Not less strong was his attachment to the school at which he was educated. In proof of the respect in which he was held by the scholars, Bishop Newton mentions that, when the Westminster Election was concluded, in 1723, some of the King's Scholars visited the Bishop in the Tower, to take leave of him, and that he made to them the same quotation which occurs in one of his letters to Pope :- "The world is all before me where to choose My place of rest, and Providence Guide." my After his banishment Atterbury lived at Brussels until June, 1724, when he removed to Paris, and managed all the affairs of the Chevalier during several years. His power and abilities are best estimated by the dread the Government in England had of him, even in his exile, and by the anxiety the Pretender shewed to secure his services, and that, notwithstanding ill health had increased the sensitiveness of his naturally hasty temper. He retired to Montpelier, in 1728, and resided there about two years; but returned to Paris before his death. His enfeebled frame had received another severe shock from the death of his only daughter, the wife of W. Morice (Admis- sions 1705). She was tenderly attached to her father, and had made a long journey to see him before she died. They met by dint of great exertions on her part, and she ex- pired within 20 hours after the meeting, Nov. 8, 1729. An affecting account of this journey, and death-bed scene is to be found in a letter from Mr. Evans to his brother, the Rev. M. Evans (Election 1671). The labor and pains which he bestowed on the great work relating to Westminster School, which was settled in his time,-the erection of the new dormitory (see Election 1722) will be noticed elsewhere. One portrait of him, by Kneller, is in the Bodleian Library, and there is also one of him in Christ Church Hall. The latter was the gift of O. S. Brereton (Election 1734).

He was one of the Commissioners under the Act, which passed in 1712, for building the fifty additional churches in London; and was also one of the earliest members of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. He was consecrated to the office of bishop, April 4, 189 1714, and held his stall at Christ Church in commendam with the see of Chester, until his death. Dr. Richardson justly charac- terises him as "Vir eruditione, severitate morum, constantiâ spectabilis." In his politics he was a Tory, and a steady opponent of Sir R. Walpole's adminis- tration; he stood forward in Parliament as the champion of the interests of the church on all occasions; and appears to have been very constant in his attendance in the House, as his name is attached to many of the protests, on the records of the House of Lords, during the time in which he was in opposition. He spoke with great vehemence against the third reading of the Bill of Attainder against Bishop Atterbury, and entered his protest as dissentient when the measure was carried. This was the more noble, as he stood alone among his episcopal brethren on the occasion, and as he had had serious disagreements with the Bishop of Rochester about some proceedings in the Chapter at Christ Church. He was a staunch supporter of the pri- vileges of the universities. He defended. Oxford when attacked in the House of Lords for an alleged riot on the birth-day of the Prince of Wales, in 1717-and he refused institution to the Warden of Man- chester, who had only received his degree of B.D. at Lambeth, justifying this step in a publication, entitled, "The Bishop of Chester's case relating to the War- denship of Manchester," &c. For this book the university of Oxford, March 22, 1721, decreed him, in full convocation, their "solemn thanks, for having so fully asserted the rights and privileges and dignity belonging to university de- grees." This flattering message was trans- mitted to him by the Vice Chancellor, Dr. Shippen, and by Mr. Bromley and Mr. Clarke, the representatives of the university in Parliament. A similar compliment was ordered by the university of Cambridge, in full senate, on the 22nd of April, and Dr. Laney, Master of Pembroke, and Dr. Water- land, Master of Magdalen, were deputed to communicate this resolution to the Bishop. Bishop Gastrell died at Oxford, at the age of 60, on the 15th of November, 1725, and was interred in Christ Church cathedral, where there is a monument to his memory. He was born at Slapton, in Northampton- shire; the son of Henry Gastrell, of East Garston, in Berkshire, and descended from a family of some antiquity in that county. He was the author of several publications on religious subjects. The first, on the Doctrine of the Trinity, 1696, is reprinted in Bishop Randolph's "Enchiridion Theolo- gicon. But his most celebrated work is the "Christian Institutes," which appeared in 1707, and reached a fifth edition in 1717. He was very intimate with Swift, who makes frequent mention of him in his Journal to Stella, especially on the 22nd of January, 1711-12, where he calls him eminent divine, one of the canons of Christ Church, and one I love very well." 66 an He assisted in laying the first stone of Peckwater Quadrangle, at Christ Church, and his picture, by Dhall, is in the Hall of that society.

[M.A. 1687;-created B.D. and D.D. by diploma, March 26, 1697, and was also D.D. in the university of Dublin. He was ap- pointed dean of Christ Church, Dublin, and held that preferment and the precep- tory of Tully, in commendam with his bishopricks. He was consecrated November 11, 1705;-translated to Meath, March 13, 1731;-sworn of the Privy Council, June 28, in that year, and died January 1, 1733-4. He was interred with much so- lemnity in Christ Church, Dublin, of which he had been dean nearly 26 years. Bishop Ellis was brother to those of his name noticed under the years 1664, 1665, 1667, and 1681; but, by a singular mistake in the pedigree printed with the Ellis Cor- respondence, he is said to have been the fourth son, and Samuel (Admissions 1665), the fifth. His son, Welbore (Election 1732), was created Lord Mendip, and the two sons of his daughter (who married H. Agar, Esq.) were respectively created Viscount Clifden and Earl of Normanton (Elections 1755 and 1761). 190 A.D. 1681. Elected to Oxford. Francis Hickman¹. William King2. David Jones".

His brother, in a letter dated Jan. 1, 1687 (Ellis Corresp. i. 217-18), seems to intimate that W. Ellis was then a re- sident at Oxford :-" Mr. Massey (see page 28) is installed dean of Christ Church, and Phil.

The plot was taken from a novel called Tamerlane and Asteria. The piece was acted by his Majesty's servants at the theatre-royal; and also at Oxford, before Charles II., when he met the Parlia- ment there; it was received with great ap- plause, and was, moreover, honored with an epilogue from the pen of Dryden. It was published in 4to., in 1681, with a preface from the author, and a poetical epistle from J. Banks" to his ingenious friend." Langbaine describes the author as "a young gentleman, whose wit began to bud as early as that of the incomparable Cowley, and was, like him, a King's Scholar, when he wrote a play called Tamberlain the Great,'" &c. Saunders does not appear to have written anything else.-Langbaine's Dramatic Poets, 438-9; Dryden's Works (Scott), x. 356.] 6[W.AYLOFFE took the degrees of B.A. 1685;-M.A. 1687;-and of LL.D., "Com- mitiis Regiis," 1705. He wrote a set of English verses, printed among the Cam- bridge poems, on the marriage of the Prin- cess Anne with Prince George of Denmark, in 1683; and an ode by him, on the death of Charles II., and the accession of James II., is given in Dryden's Miscellanies (iii. 293). The oration which he delivered be- fore the university, on the Peace of 1697, was printed at the university press; and, in the next year, he was appointed orator to the university. He addressed Queen Anne in that capacity, when she visited Cam- bridge, in 1705. Ayloffe signed the petition to the Bishop of Ely against Dr. Bentley, in 1709, and, during the whole contest, gave a steady and judicious support to his friend, Dr. Colbatch (Election 1683). He held a lay fellowship in his college, and became a senior fellow in 1714. He died early in 1728, having resigned his office of orator two years before that time.-Cole's MSS., xlv. 243. 331, Athenæ, A. 35; Cant.

Although a non-juror he kept his student's place. There is a Latin poem by him, printed in the Muse Anglicana; the sub- ject, a military achievement of the Duke of Ormonde; and another, printed in 1685, on the death of King Charles II. He also assisted Atterbury (see Election 1680), in 191 his translation of Dryden's Absalom and Achitophel into Latin verse. He was the son of Sir William Hickman, of Gainburgh, Lincolnshire.-Ath.

KING, author of many humorous pieces; secretary to Princess Anne of Den- mark, 1694; judge of the High Court of Admiralty, sole commissioner of the prizes, and keeper of the records in Birmingham's Tower [in Ireland]; vicar-general to the lord-primate of all Ireland, 1702; died, 1712. [This writer, whose witty produc- tions, both in verse and prose, have pro- cured him a place in the literature of his country, was generally known among his contemporaries as "King of the Commons." He was born in 1663, the son of Ezekiel King, a gentleman related to the noble family of Clarendon. Reading appears to have been his great delight from his earliest youth, and a won- derful account is given of the number of books he had read before he left the uni- versity. He took his B.A. degree, 1685, and that of M.A. 1688; and accumulated the degrees in civil law, July 7, 1692. On the 12th of November of the same year, his name was enrolled in the College of Advocates in Doctors' Commons, where his practice soon became considerable. His natural indo- lence, however, gave him a distaste for the severer duties of the law, and he encouraged his love of literature to the neglect of his profession; which he even abandoned for a time, and retired to his studentship at Christ Church. Yet he kept up a great reputation as a civilian, as well in his capacity of a judge, by the part he took in the decisions of the Court of Delegates, as in that of an advocate, by his defence of the Earl of Anglesea, in the suit brought against that nobleman for cruelty by his wife, in 1701; he was drawn from his re- tirement to conduct this suit for his friend. This preference of literary ease to a la- borious profession, accompanied, as it was, by expensive habits, so reduced his circum- stances as to lead him to accept the pre- ferment offered to him in Ireland. This change of scene is not said to have in- creased his industry, and he spent most of his time out of Dublin, at a seat of one of the judges. He left Ireland probably at the end of 1708, and returned to London, where he continued to write; and, in 1711, received, unsolicited by him, the post of Gazetteer; and the key of his office was brought to him by his friends, Swift, Friend (Election 1694), and Pope. But this occu- pation was too laborious for him, and he resigned it in the summer before his death, which took place at his lodgings opposite Somerset House, on Christmas Day, 1712. He was buried in the cloisters of West- minster Abbey. Dr. King is reported to have been a per- son of sound principles, of high honor and integrity, and of a religious disposition, which was instilled into him in his early life, and remained with him throughout its course. His great defect appears to have been an infirmity of temper, which made him peevish, discontented, and misanthro- pical. In his politics he was a zealous Tory. Among his works we may mention a re- futation of Varilla's account of Wickliffe, in 1692;-and Animadversions on Mr. (af- terwards Viscount) Molesworth's History of Denmark, in 1694. Molesworth's work had given great offence to the Court of Den- mark, and displeased Prince George. Dr. King's answer was translated into French by the King of Denmark's order, and read to him as fast as translated. Two other editions of it appeared, one in Holland, the other in Germany. In return for it, he received a letter of thanks from the uni- versity of Copenhagen, and was indebted. to it for the place of secretary to the Princess Anne. He had a share in what was considered the cause of his college against Dr. Bent- ley (see page 186), and his short letter, in which he related the particulars of the interview between Dr. Bentley and the bookseller, roused the special wrath of the great critic, and drew upon Dr. King very rough treatment from him in the preface to his "Dissertation." King is supposed to have had a share in the humorous por- tions of "Boyle's Examination of Dr. Bentley's Phalaris." Bishop Warburton thought that he had written the witty ar- gument to prove that the "Dissertation was not written by Bentley (see Smalridge, Election 1683). He was much annoyed by Bentley's reply, and retaliated in "Dia- logues from the Dead," in which he gave the Master of Trinity the nickname of Bentivoglio, which he never lost. Nor did King forego the opportunity offered by the quarrels in Trinity College to attack Bentley, and, in 1710, he ridiculed the Master's government of the college, and his edition of Horace, by the production of "Horace in Trinity College." In 1710, with Swift and others of his political friends, he assisted in the projec- tion and management of the Examiner, and contributed several papers to it. In 1732, Joseph Browne, M.D., published "Remains" of our author, with a Dedica- 192 tion to John, Earl of Orrery; these were republished, though with variations in the title-page, in 1734 and 1739; and all his works were collected, and published in three volumes, to which are prefixed me- moirs of his life, by Nichols, in 1776. Dr. Johnson says of his poems, that "they were rather the amusements of "idleness than the efforts of study."-Ath. Ox. iv. 666-7, Fasti ii. 396. 403; Oxf.

Anthony à Wood says of him, that, after his admission to holy orders, "he retired to the great city, be- came a forward and frequent preacher and lecturer there;" but that, all things not going current to his mind, he retired to his college in Michaelmas, 1693, and became M.A." He published several single ser- mons. One, a farewell sermon, preached to the united parishes of St. Mary's, Woolnoth, and St. Mary's, Woolchurch, in Lombard Street, in 1692; another is against making money by usury, appa- rently preached to the same congregation; the fourth edition of it appeared in 1692; an earlier one, in 1690, was printed at Oxford, "at the request of his friends." Jones was vicar of Great Budworth, in Cheshire, from August 24, 1694, until January 18, 1696-7; but it is not said what became of him after that date. A Greek stanza, lamenting the death of King Charles II., is found, with his name printed in Greek letters after it, in the Oxford collection of verses, printed in 1685.-Ath.

PRIOR, the celebrated poet; se- cretary to the plenipotentiaries in the Con- gress at the Hague, 1690; gentleman of the bed-chamber to King William; secre- tary at the Treaty at Ryswick, 1697; com- missioner of trade and plantations [1700]; member of Parliament for East Grinsted, Sussex, 1701; plenipotentiary to France, 1711; died, 1721, aged 57. [Born pro- bably about 1666; neither the parents of this accomplished genius, nor his birth- place, are accurately known according to the generally-received opinion, however, the latter was Wimborne Minster, Dorset- shire; and it is supposed that his parents were dissenters. His father, and perhaps his mother also, died when he was very young: Matthew was, therefore, committed to the care of an uncle, Samuel Prior, who kept the "Rummers" public-house, near Charing Cross, at whose charge he was sent to Westminster School. Tradition states that the boy had returned to the tavern kept by his uncle, and was there found by the Earl of Dorset in the act of reading Horace. The Earl having resolved to assist the lad, sent him to St. John's College, Cambridge, where he was admitted, April 2, 1683, and was, next day, appointed a scholar of that house, on the Duchess of Somerset's foundation, by her own nomina- tion. The verses which he contributed to the academical congratulations, collected in that year, on the marriage of the Prin- cess Anne with Prince George of Denmark, are published in Nichols' Select Collection of Poems. In 1686, he took his degree of B.A., and was chosen fellow of his College. The earliest of his printed poems (ex- cept the one mentioned above) is the ode to the Deity, which he wrote for a college exercise in 1688. In the same year, he and Charles Montague (Admissions 1677), produced the "City Mouse and the Coun- try Mouse," and, like his associate in that composition, Prior left Cambridge, and came up to London to seek his fortune. 193 He found kind friends at Burleigh, where he seems to have been a constant guest, and some of his early pieces are on subjects connected with Lord Exeter's fa- mily. In 1698, he went to Paris as secretary to the embassy, and served successively, in that situation, under the Earls of Portland and Jersey; to the latter nobleman, he at- tached himself as his political leader, and returned with him to England; but again went to France, where Lord Manches- ter had succeeded to the post of ambas- sador. In August, 1699, he went to King William at Loo, where he was intrusted with the King's own instructions. On the 15th of the November following, he was despatched home, with the result of the audience which Lord Manchester had had that day with the French King, on the subject of the new Partition Treaty, then negotiating on account of the death of the Electoral Prince of Bavaria in the pre- ceding February. Lord Jersey being now Secretary of State, Prior was appointed under secretary in his office, and was pro- bably secretary to him in his capacity of one of the Lords Justices of Ireland. Prior's parliamentary career was a very short one, as he only sat in the parliament which assembled in February, 1701, and was dissolved in the November following. During that time (as has already been noticed, page 181), articles of impeachment were exhibited against the Lords Somers, Orford, and Halifax, for the share that they had had in framing the Partition Treaty; and Prior followed Lord Jersey in voting against those lords. It is said that neither he, nor his patron, ever approved of the treaty, but thought themselves obliged to obey the King's warrants. In 1707, he suffered for his attachment to the high Tory party, by being deprived of his commissionership at the Board of Trade. He was rewarded, however, by his friends, with a commissionership of the Customs in 1711; and his intimacy with Bolingbroke, and the reputation which his own wit and abilities had earned him, made him a person of some consequence. Accordingly, in July, 1711, he was de- spatched on a secret mission to Paris, had clandestine interviews with Louis XIV., and laid the foundation of those negotia- tions which terminated in the Peace of Utrecht. His expedition was discovered on his return; for, having assumed a false name to insure secrecy, he was ar- rested at Deal by the Custom-house officers, and kept in custody until orders were re- ceived from London. He was accompanied by Monsieur Mesnager, who had received full powers to treat with the English mi- nister. Frequent conferences took place, some of them at Prior's house, and prelimi- nary articles for a general peace were signed on the 27th of September. This arrangement was nicknamed "Matt's Peace," in the numerous political squibs of the day, which the vehemence of party spirit called up on that occasion. Prior is said to have been "the best versed in matters of trade of all her Majesty's Ministers trusted in that secret. For this reason, and for his know- ledge of all the previous steps of the nego- tiation, and as the French had named Monsieur Mesnager as a third plenipoten- tiary, to arrange the commercial parts of the Treaty of Utrecht-the English Minis- ters were anxious to have the assistance of Prior, and had actually named him pleni- potentiary, with the Queen's cordial appro- bation. The appointment was, however, revoked, in consequence of the insolent pride of the Earl of Strafford, who po- sitively refused to be joined in commis- sion with a person of such low origin. On the 2nd of August, 1712, Prior accom- panied Lord Bolingbroke on his mission to Paris, the avowed object of which was to agree upon a suspension of arms during the progress of the conference at Utrecht; and, after the secretary of state's return, he remained behind to negotiate some pri- vate affairs which were still unsettled. From the departure of Bolingbroke, he had the full powers of plenipotentiary, though he did not assume them entirely until after the Duke of Shrewsbury's departure. He remained in this capacity for several months after the death of Queen Anne. In November, 1714, he was deprived of his place in the Customs, and recalled from Paris in January of the following year. At first he met with a favorable reception from King George, and dined with Lord Townshend, who had succeeded to the office held by Lord Bolingbroke: this was on the 26th of March; but on the 9th of June, upon the Report of the Committee of Secrecy granted by the House of Commons, he was ordered into strict custody, underwent many exa- minations, and was very rigorously treated. So relentless was this persecution that his name was excepted from the Act of Grace passed in 1717: soon after this exception, however, he was released without being brought to trial. Thus was he cast upon the world, with nothing to live upon but his fellowship-which, fortunately for him, he had not given up-and his publications; but, by the liberality of Lord Oxford, he was provided with a comfortable retreat in the little village of Down Hall, in Essex; here he finished his "Solomon on the Vanity of the World;" and collected all his poems, C C 194 A.D. 1682*.

"] which he published in one volume, and prefaced with a dedication to the Duke of Dorset, out of gratitude to the memory of that nobleman's father-to whose timely munificence he was indebted for the com- pletion of that education by which he had raised himself to such celebrity. He had been created M.A. by King's Letters in 1700, and, in 1707, he became one of the senior fellows of his college. The charms of his agreeable compo- sitions are too well known to the most superficial reader to require any remarks here; the few that have been noticed are more or less connected with his school and college career; it should, however, be men- tioned, that he was one of the writers in the famous periodical, the Examiner, and also assisted in sending out the Medley, in answer to the Whig Examiner. Mat. Prior ended his days at Wimpole, then the seat of his friend, Lord Oxford, September 15, 1721. He had the vanity to leave 500l. to be expended on a monu- ment to himself in Westminster Abbey, for which Dr. Robert Friend wrote the epitaph. He also bequeathed to St. John's College, Cambridge, a large legacy of books, and a picture of himself by La Belle, given him by Louis XIV., together with one of his political patron, Lord Jersey; these are in the library of that college. There is an- other portrait of Prior in the Bodleian Gallery at Oxford, the gift of Lord Oxford's eldest son. He wrote an account of his examination before the House of Commons, which is to be found in the appendix to the "History and Proceedings of the House of Commons," printed in 1741. The following entries of Prior's admission to St. John's College were furnished by a correspondent to the Gentleman's Magazine, in 1779: the first is that made by the Head of his College, on his admission as pensioner, and the second is the oath he himself took on being chosen scholar :- "Matthæus Prior, Middlesexiensis, natus infrà Wimburn in predicto comitatu, atque literis institutus in scholâ liberâ Westmo- nasteriensi sub Mro. Busby, per triennium, admissus est pensionarius, ætatis suæ 17, et quod excurrit, tutore et fidejussore ejus Mro. Billers, 20 Aprilis, 1683." The second runs thus :-" Ego, Matthæus Prior, Dorcestriensis, juratus et admissus sum in discip. hujus collegii pro Dnâ Sarâ Ducissâ Somersettiensi, ex ipsius nomina- tione, die 3º Aprilis, 1683." Five years afterwards, when admitted fellow, he styles himself of Middlesex- but there is no Wimburn in that county. -Cole's Athenæ, P: Cant. Grad.; Hist. and Antiq. ii. 963; Johnson's Lives; Biog.

He was master of Blundell's school at Tiverton 195 from 1698 until 1730, when he died, and was buried in the chancel of St. Peter's Church in that town. Strong testimony is borne (in the work referred to below) to his merits as an in- structor; and the school flourished so much after his accession to the management of it, that another assistant was required in the higher school.-Dunsford's Tiverton, 350-1.] 2 G. SMALRIDGE, [installed] prebendary of Lichfield [June 12], 1693; [admitted] dean of Carlisle [Nov. 3], 1711; dean of Christ Church, 1713; bishop of Bristol. [Dr. Smalridge was the intimate friend of Bishop Atterbury (Election 1681), and held the same opinions in political and eccle- siastical matters; he was his coadjutor, too, in many of his literary pursuits, and, finally, his successor both at Carlisle and Christ Church. He was the son of a dyer in Lichfield, and born in that city in 1663. He was in- debted to Elias Ashmole, the celebrated antiquary, for the education which enabled him to attain, and worthily to fill, an honor- able station in life. Whilst a King's Scholar, he wrote the Latin and English elegies on the death of Lilly, published with the history of that astrologer's life and times. His degrees in arts were taken in 1686 and 1689. In 1687, he published a defence of the Church of England, in an answer to the fifth part of Abraham Woodhead's work on Church Government, published by Obadiah Walker. In 1689, he published a Latin poem of great merit, on the sale by auction of the books of Richard Davis, an eminent bookseller in Oxford; it was entitled "Auctio Davisiana," and originally com- posed for performance as an Act in the Theatre; it was afterwards printed in the "Musæ Anglicana." He was selected to speak the oration in praise of Sir Thomas Bodley, in 1694, and, in 1698, had the greatest share, next to Atterbury, in the literary contest between Boyle and Bentley. Bishop Monk sup- poses that he wrote the humorous part which attempts to prove that the "Disser- tation on the Phalaris Letters " was not written by Bentley. He took the degree of B.D. in 1698, and proceeded D.D. May 28, 1701; and was chosen a trustee of the Busby Charity upon one of the earliest vacancies among the original trustees, February 14, 1701-2. He was deputy-professor of di- vinity at Oxford, from about 1700 until the death of Dr. Jane (Election 1661), the professor, in 1706, and was generally esteemed the fittest person to succeed to He that office; although, through the interest of the Duke of Marlborough, it was conferred on Dr. Potter, afterwards Archbishop of Canterbury. In 1698, he was elected by the vestry to the cure of the new chapel in the Broadway, Westminster, which, Bishop Newton says, "was then frequented by one of the best and politest congregations in the town." He was also lecturer of St. Dunstan's- in-the-West, from 1708 until 1711, when he was made a canon of Christ Church. was installed in that preferment, September 27, and retained it until his installation in the deanery, July 11, 1713. was consecrated a bishop with Gastrell (see preceding Election), April 4, 1714, and held the deanery of Christ Church in com- mendam with the see of Bristol. He usually voted with the Tories; but, on the 13th of April, 1714, he voted with the Whig minority, for a second address to the Queen against the Pretender. He Shortly after his elevation to the bench of bishops, Dr. Smalridge received the appoint- ment of lord high almoner. He was re- moved from it in November, 1715, because he did not sign the declaration made by the archbishops and bishops against the Pre- tender on the 3rd of November, 1715, which he and Bishop Atterbury, who also withheld his signature, thought was couched in language reflecting upon themselves; his reasons for not signing the declarations are in vol. iv., p. 201, of the fourth Collection of the Somers Tracts. Dr. Smalridge also took an active part in the successful resistance to an attempt made at Oxford to procure an address from the university congratulating the King on his return from Hanover in 1717; and he also spoke against the second reading of the Bill for Repealing the Occasional and Schism Acts in 1718. An apoplexy deprived the country of this excellent prelate on the 27th of September, 1719. He died at Christ Church, and was buried in the cathedral, in which there is a monument, with a very long inscription, to his memory. His reputation as a scholar almost rivalled that of his friend Atter- bury, and we read in Swift's Journal to Stella of the 4th of January, 1711,- "Atterbury, we think, will be dean of Christ Church in Oxford, but the college would rather have Smalridge ;" and a few days before this, Swift talks of having met "the famous Dr. Smalridge." יי. Besides his works already alluded to, he also published some remarks upon the tem- per of the writers upon convocation, in 1701. Of his poetical compositions, many are to be found in different Oxford collec- tions, made in celebration of particular C C 2 196 events; and others are to be met with among the "Carmina Quadragesimalia." Two specimens of his Latin prose are given in the appendix to vol. iii. of Atter- bury's Correspondence. A volume contain- ing twelve of his sermons appeared in 1717; and, in 1724, sixty more were published by his widow, which were re- printed in 1727: they were dedicated to the Princess of Wales, who had been the bishop's patroness during his lifetime, and, after his death, assisted his family, who were left in comparative indigence. This sketch of Bishop Smalridge would be incomplete without his character as drawn by two or three celebrated writers: Bishop Newton, who in another place men- tions the respect which his appearance and attainments inspired at the Westminster Elections, thus describes him :-"This was truly a worthy prelate, an excellent scholar, a sound divine, and an eloquent preacher; a good writer, both in Latin and English; of great gravity and dignity in his whole deportment, and at the same time of as great complacency and sweetness of manners-a character at once both amiable and vene- rable-nemo illum amabilem, qui non simul venerabilem diceret."-Sen. Epist. cxv.; and afterwards, speaking of his removal by the ministers of George I., the bishop con- tinues," Surely no man ever exercised greater candour and moderation than he did towards all parties and persons." In the Tatler his merits are twice celebrated under the designation of "Favonius," by Sir Richard Steele, in No. 73, and by Addison, in No. 114; the latter says, "I formerly conversed with him at his house, and, as he abounds with that sort of virtue and know- ledge which makes religion beautiful, and never leads the conversation into the vio- lence and rage of party disputes, I listened to him with great pleasure." Addison also, in a letter to Swift, dated, Bristol, Oct. 1, 1718, writes, "The greatest pleasure I have met with for some months is in the conversation of my old friend, Bishop Smalridge, who, since the death of the ex- cellent man you mention, is to me the most candid and agreeable of all bishops, I would say clergymen, were not deans com- prehended under that title. We have often talked of you, and when I assure you he has an exquisite taste of writing, I need not tell you how he talks on such a subject." The bishop's picture, by Kneller, is in Christ Church Hall, and under it are the fol- lowing lines:- "In tuo vultu, venerande Pastor, fraudis ille expers animus renidet, vividus spirat, placidusque qualis aura Favoni." He was father to Philip Smalridge, elected to Christ Church in 1717.-Wood's Life, CXX., Ath. Ox. iii. 1162, iv. 363. 461. 667, Fasti ii. 399. 405; Oxf.

HANNES, knight, professor of chemistry, Oxford, 1690; an eminent phy- sician; and author of several poems in the Musa Anglicanæ. He left 1000l. to build a dormitory, and gave the Poculum. [The son of Mr. Edward Hannes, a gentleman of Devizes; B.A. 1686; M.A. 1689. In 1688, he assisted W. King (see the preceding Election) in his reflections. on Varillas' history. He succeeded the celebrated Dr. Plot in his professorship, and is said by Wood to have been "very for- ward in his faculty." On the entertainment given to Ashmole by the vice-chancellor and heads of houses in the Museum at Oxford, July 17, 1690, Hannes addressed that venerable antiquary, and benefactor of the university, "in an eloquent speech." He proceeded M.B. 1691, and M.D. 1695. He attended the young Duke of Gloucester at his death in 1700, and published the result of the post-mortem examination of his body. He was likewise present at the death of King William, and signed the re- port upon his death. He was ridiculed for this report, which he was said to have drawn up, in a poem, called "Dr. Hannes Dis- sected in a Familiar Epistle, by way of Nosce teipsum." He became physician to Queen Anne, and was knighted. Sir E. Hannes died in July, 1710; his will was proved in Doctors' Commons in that month; and he was buried at Shelling- ford, Berks, August 12; there is a monu- ment to his memory, surmounted by his bust, in that church. He was famous for his poetical talents: Mr. Oldisworth (Life of E. Smith,-John- son's Works, x. 8.), calls him "the finest genius for Latin Lyric since the Augustan age. 22 He wrote a set of verses printed with the Oxford Poems on the death of Charles the Second, and another with those on King William's return from Ireland in 1690. In the preface to Taswell's (Election 1670) "Physica Aristotelica" in 1718, Hannes is spoken of as "Medicus haud ita pridem celeberrimus, qui ædi Christi vivens orna- 197 mento fuit, moriens benefactor munificus extitit," alluding to the money (10007.) which he bequeathed for the building of Peckwater quadrangle. The Poculum, re- ferred to by the former editor, was in his time the only one possessed by the Scholars of St. Peter's. It is a plain, quaintly-shaped goblet, with two handles, and an inscrip- tion upon it, stating that Sir E. Hannes was the donor. It must be in the remem- brance of most old King's Scholars, as it has been in constant use up to the present time. Since Mr. Welsh's time, two other drinking vessels have been presented to the King's Scholars, of which more particular mention will be made under Sir E. Impey's name, 1747.-Ath.

MAN, astronomy professor in Gre- sham College [Sept. 21], 1687; died [Nov. 1], 1723. [He was buried in the Temple Church. His father, William Man, Esq., was sword-bearer to the Lord Mayor of London. Daniel took his M.A. degree in 1689; resigned his professorship in Gresham Col- lege, on his marriage, in 1691; was ap- pointed city reader in 1693, but resigned that place in 1694. He obtained the re- version of his father's office, and succeeded to it in April, 1705; but he gave up this post in the following August, and lived privately for the remainder of his days.-Oxf. Grad.; Ward's Gresham Professors (with MSS. notes in Brit. Mus.), 116-17.] 5 R. MORGAN, canon of Hereford. [The fourth son of Dr. R. Morgan, Bishop of Bangor. He is quoted in Dryden's letter to Busby about C. Dryden (Election 1683) as an instance of a boy being elected to the university before the usual time. Mr. Boyle, who was his pupil, speaks highly of him in a letter to Atterbury, dated Dec. 6, 1691 (Election 1680). He did not take his M.A. degree until June 23, 1702; and, on June 30 of the same year, he accumulated the degrees of B.D. and D.D. He was collated prebendary of Hereford, Sept. 3, 1702, and was after- wards a canon of that cathedral, and rector of Ross, in the same county. Dr. Morgan was still living in 1723.-Willis's Cath. Surv. i. 565; Nichols's Illustrations to Lit. Hist. iv. 399; Atterbury's Corresp. i. 32; Kennet's Reg. and Chron. 169.] 6 G. STEPNEY, commissioner of trade, 1697; envoy to several courts; author of several poems. [The epitaph to Stepney's memory in Westminster Abbey supplies us with a list of the several embassies on which he was employed, and in all of which he is said to have succeeded :-to the Elector of Brand- enburgh in 1692;-to the Emperor of Ger- many, 1693;-to the Elector of Saxony, 1694; to the Electors of Mayence, Treves, and Cologne, the Palatine, the Landgrave of Hesse, and the Congress at Frankfort, in 1696-7;-in 1698, he was sent again to the Elector of Brandenburgh ;-and, in 1699, to the King of Poland;-again to the Emperor of Germany in 1701 ;-and to the States General in 1706. His removal to the Hague, where he suc- ceeded Mr. Stanhope, was in consequence of a difference which had arisen between him and Count Wratislaw, the imperial minister. This misunderstanding began in 1705, and was carried so far that the Count withdrew from all confidential communication with him; and, during the frequent conferences at the siege of Landau, urged his recall on the Duke of Marlborough. The Duke, who relied almost entirely upon Stepney, suc- ceeded in persuading Prince Eugene to withdraw the demand for the moment; but shortly afterwards found himself obliged to agree to the removal of the British envoy, although he effected this change so as not to wound his feelings. In May, 1706, Stepney was sent by the Duke of Marl- borough, with the Queen's permission to take possession of the lordship of Min- delheim, which the emperor had conferred on the victorious general. We find the Duke, in 1707, still mindful of the services of our worthy. And, after recapitulating the difficulties in his path, he writes," For all these things poor Mr. Stepney will be much wanted." Swift, in his remarks on the Court of Queen Anne, speaks contemptu- ously of his poetical talents, but does not attack him for anything else. He sprang from the Stepneys of Prender- grast, in Pembrokeshire, and is supposed by Granger to have been the son or grandson of Charles, third son of the first baronet of that ancient family; however this may be, the future diplomatist was born in the city of Westminster in 1663. Allusion has already been made (Admis- sions 1677) to the friendship between him and Charles Montague, which, beginning at school, was cemented at Cambridge, and continued unabated through life. At Cam- bridge, he wrote several poetical pieces,- one on the marriage of the Princess Anne, in 1683, in the "Hymenæus Cantabrigien- sis," and seems to have enjoyed a great reputation, for he was elected a major fellow, without passing through the usual step of minor fellow. He graduated B.A. 1685, and M.A. 1689. 198 He translated the eighth satire of Juvenal for the translation edited by Dryden, and already alluded to under Duke and Power (Elections 1675 and 1677). Besides his poeti- cal compositions, which are inferior perform- ances, he published, in 1701, a political essay in prose: this went into a second edition, and was afterwards reprinted in the third collection of the Somers' Tracts (p. 1, vol. iv.). He began his political life as a Tory, but ultimately joined the party of King William, and was helped in his career by the interest of Montague. He was endowed with good abilities, which he had cultivated, and he bore the character of an amiable and accomplished gentleman. He died at Chelsea in 1707.

MAITTAIRE, second master of Westminster School, 1695; editor of the Classics, &c.; died [August 7], 1747, aged 79. [Michael Maittaire, or Mikell Mattair, as his name was sometimes written, was preferred to a studentship of Christ Church by Dr. South, in recompense for having drawn up for that dignitary a list of all the Greek words in Dr. Sherlock's books which were falsely accented. M.A. 1696; and in- corporated M.A. at Cambridge in 1708;- resigned the post of second master of West- minster School in 1699, and gave himself up to the cultivation of classical literature. His works the fruit of this devotion to study-are almost all on classical subjects, and display that accuracy of scholarship, and elegance, for which he was so eminent. In 1706, he published "Græcæ Linguæ Dialecti in Usum Scholæ Westmonasterien- sis," and placed before it a neat and affec- tionate dedication to the school, in which he calls the work, "Suorum laborum Pri- mitias Grati animi pignus," and in the pre- face he pays a tribute of gratitude to the memory of Dr. Busby: an address by Dr. Knipe, recommending the book in the strongest terms to his scholars, is printed opposite the title page. It was reprinted at the Hague, in 1738; and at Leipsic, in 1807. At the request of Dr. John Friend (Elec- tion 1694), he compiled the index, and wrote a short Latin preface, to a splendid edition of "Aretæus," printed at the Clarendon, in 1723. Mr. Hallam speaks in terms of praise of Maittaire's account of the Stephenses (the great printers), which appeared in 1709. In 1732, he completed a second edition of the account of the Arundel and Selden marbles at Oxford (Prideaux (Elec- tion 1668) had published the first), which he had begun in 1728. Space will not admit of a notice upon more of his works; these have been selected from their connection with Westminster School and the Univer- sity. A complete list of them is given in Nichols's Literary History. Maittaire's character presents a remark- able union of great abilities and profound learning with the most unassuming mo- desty. He wrote, not to advance his own reputation, but to be useful to mankind. His origin was foreign; but he was born in England in 1668. There is a good mezzotinto print of him by Faber, inscribed "Jussu Amicorum;" it is engraved from a painting by Dan- dridge. The sale of the library of this learned man occupied forty-four nights.-Oxf.Grad; Hist and Antiq. ii. 806; Cole's Athenæ, Y, Incorporations; Nichols's Lit.

HARRINGTON, an eminent lawyer and poet; author of several poems in the Musa Anglicana; died, 1693. [Harrington appears to have been a person of great abilities, and, considering his short life (for he was only in his 29th year when he died), to have attained an extraordinary reputa- tion. Anthony à Wood tells us that his father, also a James Harrington, resided at Wal- tham Abbey, in Essex. Our worthy was already 19, when he was elected to Christ Church, and about the same time he ap- pears to have been made a student of the Inner Temple. B.A. 1687. When he took his M.A. degree, in 1690, he was in con- siderable practice at the bar, or, in the words of the Oxford historiographer, "much frequented for his wonderful and pregnant knowledge of the common law, being more forward in it at 27 years of age than another at 40." He wrote a poem on the death of King Charles the Second, which appeared in the collection of verses, printed at Oxford on that occasion, in 1685. He published several works: the earliest in 1688, against a Romanist tract put forth by Edw. Meredith (Election 1666). In 1690, he defended the privileges of the university, then attacked in a petition to the House of Commons from the city of Oxford; and, in that year, he also published an account of the visitation of Exeter College by Bishop Trelawny (Election 1668), which involved him in a controversy with Dr. Arthur Bury. Without enumerating the whole of his works, it must not be forgotten that he wrote the preface to the first volume of the "Athenæ Oxonienses," and the introduc- tion to the second volume; and also the preface, and an account of Dr. Geo. Strad- ling, printed with a volume of sermons by that divine, in 1692. Shortly before his death he removed from the Temple to Lincoln's Inn, where he died on the 23rd of November, 1693. His body was carried to Oxford, and buried in the north transept of Ch. Ch. cathedral, on St. Andrew's Day. Some of Harrington's letters are printed in Atterbury's Correspondence, and some original ones are in Ballard's MS. in the Bodleian Library. From an entry in Wood's Diary, on the 18th of April, 1694, it will be seen that he was much regretted :-it is in these words, "Mr. Altham, the senior proctor (Election 1677), quitted his place, and in his speech spoke very honourably of James Harring- ton, of Christ Church, lately deceased." Wood seems to have been much attached to this young author, and adds to the praises bestowed upon his talents, that 66 وہ he was very honest in his dealing, and of a good and generous nature."-Wood's Life, cxvi. cxviii., Ath.

DRYDEN, son of the poet; usher of the palace to Pope [Innocent XII.] He was drowned in an attempt to swim across the Thames at Windsor, 1704. [Born in 1666, at Charlton, Wilts, and his father's favorite son. He got into a scrape at Westminster, in connection with a custom said to have existed in those days, whereby the second boy of the second Election kept order in college hall, by saying, "Tu es custos," and passing a pledge to any Under Election who spoke unless he spoke in Latin. The boy who held this pledge, at the close of dinner received an imposition. The fact of the existence of this custom was as- serted to Mr. Malone "by a very respect- able gentleman." His father thought him aggrieved in this matter, and was only restrained from removing him from the school by his respect for Dr. Busby and Dean Dolben. Mr. Malone says that, like his brother, he was reckoned" an ingenious and accom- plished gentleman." He went to Italy in 1692, and, by the interest of Cardinal Howard, became Cham- berlain of the Household to the Pope. A fall, which he had at Rome, reduced him to a bad state of health; whereupon he came back to his native country, in 1698, and we find him administering to his fa- ther's effects, June 10, 1701. The accident by which he perished happened at Datchet on the 20th of August. He had a good poetical turn, and pub- lished several detached pieces. Among them are a poem on the "Happiness of a Re- tired Life," sent to his father from Italy, and a song which he set to music; these two are printed among his father's Miscellanies. He also translated the 7th Satire of Juvenal for his father's translation, already alluded to under Duke and Power (Elections 1675 and 1678.) It is said that his father cal- culated Charles Dryden's nativity, and it so chanced that the result was verified in several particulars.-Cole's MSS., xlv. 332; Dryden's Works (Malone), i.399. 404, (Scott) i. 402-4, &c.; Dryden's Miscellanies, i. 141, ii. 292; Nichols's Illustrations, iv. 398.] 7 J. COLBATCH, prebendary of Salis- bury; casuistical professor of divinity, Cambridge [1707]; author of several learned tracts. [The life of this amiable divine. presents to our view scenes of continued vexation and disappointment, as regards both his own prospects, and the lawsuit in which he was engaged against Dr. Bentley, the Master of Trinity. The early part of his career wore a prosperous appearance. Upon his first taking orders, he was ap- pointed chaplain to the British factory at Lisbon, and held the appointment for about seven years; during his stay there, he published an Account of the State of Re- ligion and Literature in Portugal, a work written at the request of Bishop Burnet, from whom, and from Queen Mary, he re- ceived assurances of future preferment. Burnet also prevailed upon him, not only to return to England, and undertake the charge of Gilbert Burnet, the Bishop's eldest son, then training for Trinity Col- lege, but also to retain his fellowship (which he was very anxious to resign), until 1702, when it was expected that young Burnet's academical career would be concluded. In 1701, the Duke of Somerset, then chancellor of the university (commonly distinguished as "the Proud Duke of So- merset") selected him as tutor to his eldest son, the Earl of Hertford. This arrange- ment was managed by Dr. Bentley, who persuaded the Duke to offer, and Colbatch to accept, what he deemed a mutual ad- vantage. Colbatch labored zealously with his pupil for two years at college, and was then pressed by the Duke to travel with the young nobleman for two more years; the Duke making him a liberal offer as to his future maintenance. 201 The able and conscientious manner in which he discharged his duty towards his pupil stands forth in honorable contrast to the illiberality of the Duke's behaviour to- wards the tutor. The promises of advance- ment were broken-the salary agreed upon was discontinued, and reflections, injurious to his character, and totally undeserved, were cast upon him. The reflections were re- tracted, after remonstrances from Colbatch and from Dr. Bentley, but the promises were never fulfilled. He returned to Trinity College at the age of 40, having only received a stall at Salis- bury, as the fruit of all the promises of pa- tronage made to him. His reputation in the university, however, was great, and it was increased by the able lectures which he delivered in Moral Philosophy. But in Trinity College he found that the seeds of the quarrels, in which he unfortunately bore so conspicuous a part, were already sown; from friendship to Bentley, and from a natural love of order and discipline, he was inclined towards the Master, and sup- ported all his attempts to restore order and encourage learning, especially in the matter of the prior claims of those Fellows who took the degrees in divinity, upon which he wrote a very able tract against Serjeant Miller. At first he strove hard to stop the prosecution against Bentley, and, though he signed the petition of 1709 to the Bishop of Ely, as visitor, he limited the interference prayed for, to the settlement of the subject then in dispute. He took the degree of D.D. in 1706. In 1713, he again petitioned Bishop Moore to put a stop to the dissensions of the Col-. lege by deciding upon the case. About this time he had more to do with the manage- ment of the College, and found himself compelled to oppose the Master in many of his proceedings, which were unstatutable and illegal; and he rejected Bentley's in- sidious offer of the Vice-Mastership, because his friend, Dr. Ayloffe (Election 1680), as one of the Senior Fellows, had a prior right to it. In 1716, however, having risen to be one of the eight Seniors, he claimed the office under the statutes: Bentley refused to elect him, and applied terms of virulent abuse to him; and, from this time, all in- tercourse of civility, except in one instance, ceased between them for the remainder of their lives. The limits of this work will not admit of a full account of the incessant struggle which Colbatch maintained for the redress of the grievances of his college from 1713, or even earlier, until 1733, when Bishop Greene-the third prelate before whom the cause had been tried-deciding upon the articles as revised by the House of Lords, declared Bentley to have deserved the penalty of deprivation, which he pro- nounced upon him, but the execution of which Bentley resisted, and from which he was ultimately saved by the death of the Bishop, in May, 1738, which finally stopped these long-litigated proceedings. The struggle cost Colbatch a great sum of money, and impoverished the revenues of the society for many years to come. There were, however, two or three events during this singular contest, which must not be omitted. The first is the sermon, which it fell to Dr. Colbatch's lot to preach, in Trinity Chapel, on the 17th of December, 1717, in commemoration of the founders; in this discourse he handled the subject of the College disputes on religious grounds, and forcibly laid down the duties of the head of such a society: he did this with such justice and moderation, that Bishop Smalridge remarked that the discourse ought to be read over once a quarter by every governor of a college-another relates to Colbatch's claim to the rec- tory of Orwell, which fell vacant on the death of Dr. W. Stubbe (Election 1657) in 1719; Bentley did not lose the oppor- tunity of showing his vindictive feelings, and tried all the means in his power to withhold the presentation from Colbatch, but was at last compelled to yield to the universal voice of the Fellows; although he did not do so until the benefice had well nigh lapsed to the Bishop; and, adds Bent- ley's biographer, "the honest joy expressed by all the Fellows at the termination of the contest, is one of the few gratifying circum- stances in this disastrous period of the College history:" even Bentley's partisans shared this joy. In 1720, Bentley published anonymously an outrageous libel upon Dr. Colbatch; so violent indeed was the tenor of it, that the Heads of the House pronounced the book to be a most virulent and scandalous libel, highly injurious to Dr. Colbatch, "contrary to good manners, and a notorious violation of the statutes of the university;" and, as a further mark of respect to Dr. Colbatch's character, the Senate deputed him and Dr. Waterland to present the solemn thanks of the university to the Bishop of Chester (see Election 1680) and the Earl of Not- tingham, for their exertions in defence of the privileges of the universities. Colbatch, out of pique, declined this honorable mis- sion, and prosecuted the printer of the libel, in the Vice-chancellor's court, summoning Bentley as a witness; the Master excused himself, pleading attendance on the King's service; and, at length, obtained a rule from the King's Bench to stop the proceed- D D 202 A.D. 1684.

This stretch of power drew from the injured divine a pamphlet, entitled "Just Academicum," in which his case is said to have been ably, and very temperately set forth, but, unfortunately, he had questioned the jurisdiction of the Superior Court, in language which, by a strained construc- tion, the judges, on a motion of Bentley's, decided to be a contempt of the court, and, in May, 1723, he was fined, and forced to produce bail for his future good behaviour. Dr. Colbatch died, Feb. 11, 1748. He pub- lished, in 1733, an historical treatise, in the shape of a letter to Lord Lansdowne, on the marriage of Charles the Second with the Infanta of Portugal. It was entitled, "An Examination of the late Archdeacon Echard's Account of the Marriage of Charles the Second," &c.

He is sup- posed to have become a convert to the Romish faith before his father; and, there- fore, notwithstanding his election to Christ Church, he never matriculated as a member of the university. His education, however, was committed to the care of Dr. Obadiah Walker, the Romanist Master of University College, who was ejected thence on the expulsion of James the Second. As his creed stood in the way of preferment in England, John followed his brother Charles (Election 1683) to Rome, and officiated as his deputy in the Pope's household. He made a tour through Sicily and Malta with Mr. Cecil, from the 19th of October, 1700, until the 28th of January, 1701, and died of a pleuritic fever shortly after his return from it. He was, by the Pope's injunctions, honorably interred in Rome. The journal which he kept, during his tour, was pub- lished in 1776. 22 In 1696, a comedy of his composition, entitled "The Husband his own Cuckold,' was acted at the theatre in Lincoln's Inn Fields, his father writing the Epilogue, and Will. Congreve the Prologue; the latter tells us, that, "From Rome (to try its fate) this play was sent." It was afterwards printed, with a dedica- tion from the author to his uncle, Sir Ro- bert Howard, and this motto in the title- page:- "Et Pater Æneas et Avunculus excitat Hector." His father, too, contributed a preface.

Hill (Election 1640);-M.A. 1693; and, on the 10th of July, 1694, spoke the oration on Bishop Fell (page 23), for which one John Cross, an apothecary, Fell's executor, had left a benefaction. He became a tutor at Christ Church, and had for one of his pupils the celebrated anti- quary, Mr. Browne Willis, whose works have been so frequently cited in this book. Wells was inducted rector of Cottesbach, Leicestershire, Jan. 2, 1701-2; he accumu- lated the degrees of B.D. and D.D., April 5, 1704; and was instituted rector of Bletch- ley, Bucks, on the presentation of his pupil, Mr. Willis, March 28, 1716. He died pos- sessed of both livings, July 11, 1727, and was buried at Cottesbach. Dr. Wells was an able mathematician, an excellent geographer, a sound churchman, and a learned divine. He published some mathematical treatises, one of which was three times reprinted; and an edition of Xenophon, with Dodwell's chronology, and some geographical tables annexed; his notes were reprinted in an edition of this classical author, which came out at Glas- gow, in 1762. His discourse on "The Rich Man's great and indispensable duty to contribute liberally to the rebuilding, repairing, and beautifying of Churches, which went into a second edition in his lifetime, was reprinted at Oxford in 1840. His works were numerous: a list of 26 of them is given in Nichols' Leicestershire, iv. 150; see also Wood's Life, 119; Ath. Ox. iv. 668-9, Fasti, ii. 409; Oxf.

Willis, Esq., of Bletchley, Bucks, his mother being a daughter of Robt. Browne, Esq., of Framp- ton. His education was first intrusted to Mr. A. Freestone, of Bechampton, from whose care he was removed to Westminster School, where he remained until after the death of both his parents, in 1699. At 17 he was admitted a gentleman commoner at Christ Church. In 1705 he was chosen M.P. for Buckingham ;-elected F.S.A. 1717-18;-created M.A. by the university of Oxford, 1720, and D.D. by diploma, 1749. He died at Whaddon Hall, Bucks, Feb. 5, 1760, and was buried in Fenny Stratford chapel. He was remarkable for his differ- ences with the clergy in his neighbourhood, and for the munificence with which he subscribed to the rebuilding of churches &c. (see page 72), and was a benefactor to the university of Oxford, by supplying them with valuable coins.-Nichols' Lit. Hist. vi. 187.] 2 R. FREIND, under-master of West- minster School, 1699;-head-master, 1711; -canon of Windsor, 1727;-prebendary of Westminster [May 8], 1731;-and canon of Christ Church [1737]; died [Aug. 9], 1754, aged 84. [The eldest son of W. Freind (Election 206 1656), and brother to W. and J. Freind (Elections 1687 and 1694), born at Crough- ton, in 1667. In 1689, he contributed a copy of English verses to the collection of poems made by the university of Oxford, on the inauguration of King William III. and Queen Mary. They are reprinted in "Nichols' Select Collection ;" as is likewise a Latin ode, the production of his later years, on the death of Queen Caroline, in 1738. He graduated M.A. in 1693, and was an active member of the Christ Church confederacy, for attacking Bentley's Disser- tation on the Phalaris letters, in 1697;- and, in 1722, we find him endeavouring, through his influence with Lord Carteret, to protect Dr. Colbatch against the Master of Trinity. He served the office of proctor in the university in 1698;-accumulated the de- grees of B.D. and D.D., July 7, 1709. He succeeded Duke, the poet (Election 1675), as rector of Witney, Oxon, in 1711, and built a rectory house for that living. Through the interest of Queen Caroline and Lady Sundon, with Bishop Hoadley, he succeeded in making over this benefice to his son (Election 1731) in 1734, for whom also, in 1744, he vacated his stall at West- minster. Dr. Freind was selected to preach before the House of Commons, January 30, 1711. Dr. Freind appears to have been emi- nently qualified for the important post of head master; he kept up the character of the school, and sent forth a very large pro- portion of the statesmen, and other persons, who distinguished themselves under the first sovereigns of the House of Hanover. His house was the resort of Swift and At- terbury, and of all the wits, and even the statesmen, of his time; and Bentley him- self spoke in honorable terms of his scho- larship. An ode, by Stephen Duck, printed in the Gentleman's Magazine, of 1737, al- ludes to the great men educated under Dr. Freind's charge. He used frequently to fix upon some im- portant event of the day as the subject of themes for his scholars-such was the Thesis 66 Frater, ne desere fratrem," given on the 16th of March, 1723, the day after his brother had been committed to the Tower; and that selected for the Monday after the accession of George the Second, "Nun- quam Libertas gratior extat quàm sub rege novo;" on which Mr. Morice, who relates the circumstance in a letter to Bishop At- terbury, dated January 12, 1727-8, observes, "Methinks pio might have stood as well, and have been as good a compliment to a new king; and when the young prince begged a play, in 1727, the theme given to the boys was, 'Celebrate ducem qui vobis otia fecit."" He had just before this, through the interest of Dr. J. Freind, at Court, pro- cured the young prince's attendance at the Westminster play. It appears, from Mr. Morice's letters, in the early part of 1728, that there was a general expectation that this intercourse with the Court would procure Dr. R. Freind's promotion to a bishoprick. Pope makes Bentley sneer at the scholar- ship of Freind and Alsop (Election 1690), in the following lines of the Dunciad, iv. 223:— "Let Freind affect to speak as Terence spoke, And Alsop never but as Horace joke!" Some Latin poems of Freind's are printed in the "Examen Poeticum." He was a great writer of monumental inscriptions, of which no better specimen can be given than the one on Lord Carteret's son, quoted at length under the Admissions of 1707;-he also composed those on his brother-in-law, Bishop Smalridge, and on Prior in Westminster Abbey. His aid was so constantly invoked on these occasions, that Pope, jealous of his celebrity on that score, wrote the well-known epigram on him :-- "Friend, for your epitaphs I'm grieved, Where still so much is said, One half will never be believed, The other never read." His name was a very tempting one to a writer of epigrams. The following, on his appointment to the management of the school, must not be left out:- "Ye sons of Westminster, who still retain Your ancient dread of Busby's awful reign, Forget at length your fears;-your panic end- The monarch of this place is now a Freind." He married Jane, only daughter of Dr. Samuel Del'angle, a refugee after the re- vocation of the edict of Nantes, who be- came a prebendary of Westminster, and whose son, the Rev. J. M. Del'angle, mar- ried Freind's sister. Dr. Robert Freind lies buried in a vault given to his family in Witney church, and there is an inscription to his memory there. There are pictures of him in the Common Room, and Hall at Christ Church, and his bust, by Rysbrac, is in the library; the lat- ter was the gift of his son, the Dean of Canterbury.-Oxf.

July 12, 1687; and, from the entry in the Register, we learn that he was of the age of 18, and the son of John Dwight, a gentle- man, described as then of Wigan, Lanca- shire. From the same source, it appears that he was brother to Philip and Edmund Dwight (Elections 1689 and 1692); but the latter is entered as of Fulham, Middlesex: there was a Mr. John Dwight, an Oxford- shire gentleman, who had been secretary to three bishops of Chester in succession, and had invented and established a manu- factory of earthenware at Fulham, called White Gorges, and obtained a patent for it in 1684. Samuel was a commoner at Christ Church, and wrote a poem amongst those published by the university, on the birth of James the Second's son, in 1688; and another in the collection celebrating the return of William the Third from Ireland, in 1690; -M.A. 1693. Doubtless, he is the Samuel Dwight, who wrote several treatises on physic, one of which was dedicated to Dr. Gibson, Bishop of London, in 1725; and another to Sir Hans Sloane, in 1731; they are both dated from Fulham. He was a Licentiate of the College of Physicians in 1732, and died, November 10, 1737. To the notice of his death, in the Gentleman's Magazine, is added the remark, that he was the first person who found out the secret of coloring earthenware like China.-Oxford Grad.; Gent.

Smith (Elec- tion 1656), in 1688, and took his M.A. de- gree in 1694. He was appointed minister of St. Helen's, London, in 1715, and was a prebendary of St. Paul's. He died, April 26, 1729, aged 58, and was buried in the Abbey Church of St. Alban's, Herts: his father, Dr. C. James (Election 1659), had lived in that town, as head-master of the grammar school.

He contributed a copy of verses to the Oxford collection, on the re- turn of King William the Third from Ire- land, in 1690;-M.A. 1694;-proceeded B.C.L. and D.C.L., Nov. 19, 1702, and was admitted a member of the College of Ad- vocates, at Doctors' Commons, Oct. 23, 1703. He was one of the advocates for Dr. Sacheverell; and also conducted Dr. Pel- ling's case before the Court of Delegates, in the famous suit against Whiston. It appears from Bolingbroke's letters to Prior, that Dr. Henchman was consulted by the Ministry as to the articles of the Treaty of Utrecht; indeed, some of the articles seem to have been originally drawn by him. There is also frequent notice of him in Bishop At- terbury's Correspondence. He was indebted to that prelate for the chancellorship of Rochester, to which he was appointed in 1714. Dr. Henchman was also appointed Commissary of Essex and Herts, and was Her Majesty's advocate in the High Court of Chivalry, in which court we find him promoting a suit before Dr. Isham, at the Herald's College, in 1732. He died at the age of 70, August 15, 1739, and was buried at Fulham.-Oxford Grad.; Sketches of English Civilians (Coote), 108; Atterbury's Corresp. ii. 10. 16. 94; Bolingbroke's Corresp. iii. 94-5. 103. 116; Gent.

He was a singular instance of the truth of the proverb, that riches make themselves wings and fly away. At first he held a living in Bedfordshire; and, on the monu- ment to his father, in Croughton church, is called Lord of the Manor of Hitcham, Bucks. He was induced, some say in consequence of a dream, to put into a Lottery in Queen Anne's reign, whence he drew a prize of 20,0007.; and he was nearly as successful in another trial, in George the First's reign, in which he came off a winner of 5000l. or 10,000l.; and his brother, the physician, (Election 1690) left him 100l. a year. It has been surmised that he speculated in the South Sea Bubble; but, however this may be, pecuniary distress brought him into a gaol, in which he would, in all pro- bability, have ended his days, but for his old schoolfellow and friend, Lord Winchel- sea, who was First Lord of the Admiralty from 1742 to 1744, and gave him the ap- pointment of chaplain to a ship of 100 guns. He did not hold this situation many years, for he closed his chequered life on the 15th of April, 1745. He had a daughter married to Bishop Smalridge's son, and he was also related by marriage to Dr. Pierson Lloyd (Election 1722). There appeared an advertisement, in 1736, announcing the first number of a publication on the Creation of the World, by the Rev. W. Freind, M.A., brother to the late Dr. Freind, the physician.-Oxf.

In 1699 he was made an Elder Brother of the Collegiate Church of St. Katharine's, and therefore styled himself, in the title-page of his works, "Eldest proper subject of the Queen." He was also chaplain to Queen Caroline. Besides several single sermons, he published a copy of verses on the birth- day of Queen Caroline, in 1728; and, in 1710, "The Modern Fanatick, with a large and true Account of the Life, Actions, En- dowments, &c. &c. &c. of the famous Dr. Sacheverell." It went through eleven edi- tions, and a second part was added to it. It contained a violent attack upon Dr. Sacheverell, and was answered by W. King's (Election 1681) "Vindication of Dr. Sacheverell from the Aspersions of the Mo- dern Fanatick," 1710. Cole calls him "al- most a madman." He died, November 7, 1747.-Cole's Athenæ, B, 145.

He signed the petition against Bentley, in 1709; and the 17th of the articles against the Master, in 1710-11, asks, "Why did you, without consent of the Fellows, punish Mr. Bra- bourn, Fellow of the College, by putting him out of Commons, rusticating him, and otherwise injuring and abusing him?" The truth is, that Brabourn was a person scarcely sane, and, when it suited Bentley's purpose, he gained him over from the party of the Fellows by nominating him, in 1719, to the perpetual curacy of St. Michael's, Cambridge. He also made him Pandoxator of the College; after this Brabourn is found voting with the Master upon almost all occasions.-Cole's MSS., xlv. 244. 333; Cant.

It is probable that this is one of the persons mentioned in the following epitaph in Blickling Church, Norfolk:- "Near this place are deposited the bodies of Brigadier John Hobart and of Thomas Hobart, Esq., sons of Sir John Hobart, Bart.; this monument was erected by the direction of the said John Hobart, in memory of their inviolable friendship, 1742." If this supposition be correct, all that is known of Thomas Hobart is, that he was a member of Lincoln's Inn, and died unmar- ried. His mother was Mary, sixth daughter of John Hampden, the patriot, from whom also G. Hobart (Admissions 1746) was de- scended.-Cole's MSS., xlv. 333; Cant.

He was afterwards admitted of Christ Church, Oxford, and proceeded D.D. in the last- named university, June 24, 1707. After this he was incorporated D.D. at Cam- bridge. When a young man he travelled with the Earl of Salisbury, to whom he after- wards became chaplain, and by whose guardians he was presented to the rectory of Bygrave, Herts, January 31, 1700. He resigned that living in January, 1708, on being made rector of Clothall, in the same county; and on the 31st of March, 1732, was chosen lecturer of St. George's, Hanover Square. He published an Abridgment of the Turkish History of Knolles and Rycaut, in 1701; a History of the Present State of Germany, 1702; and a Select Collection of the Letters of the Ancients, in 1703. Some of his single sermons were printed; and also an imitation of Horace's Epistle to Scava, bk. i. epist. 17, inscribed to Lord Malpas, in 1730;-he contributed also a poem to the Oxford verses, on the death of Prince George of Denmark, in 1708.

He was the only clergyman that ever was admitted of the Royston Club, where they drank no- thing but French wines*. His picture hangs to this day (1777) in that club-room." Bishop Newton, in an account of this worthy, says that he was "a pleasant fa- cetious old man." And again- "Having been bred at Westminster, he * Two other clergymen, Mr. Ralph Freeman and Mr. Stephen Anstey, are mentioned as members of this society. had a great fondness for the scholars, at- tended all their plays and elections, and assisted in all their public exercises. The King's Scholars had so great a regard for him, that they made a collection among themselves, and at their own charges erected a monument to him in the clois- ters." The inscription is in these words :- "Johanni Savage, S.T.P. Alumni Scholæ Westmonasteriensis Posuerunt M.D.CC.L. Tu nostræ memor usque Scholæ, dum Vita manebat, Musa nec immemores nos sinit esse Tui. Ipse loci Genius te moeret, Amicus Amicum, Et luctu Pietas nos propiore ferit. Nobiscum assuêras docto puerascere lusu, Fudit et ingenitos cruda Senecta sales. Chare Senex, Puer hoc te saltem carmine donat; Ingratum pueri nec tibi carmen erat." There is also a singular inscription to his memory at Clothall, from which we learn that he spent eight years abroad, and went over almost the whole of Europe that he was a great benefactor to the rectory house and premises at Clothall-and also embel- lished the church very much. Dr. Savage was killed by a fall down the stairs of the scaffolding erected for Lord Lovat's trial, March 22, 1746. In the no- tice of his death, in the Gentleman's Ma- gazine (xvii. 154), he is said to have been called the "Aristippus of the age." His name is recorded with that of A. Alsop (Election 1690), on the first foundation- stone of Peckwater Quadrangle, which was laid by his pupil and patron, James, Earl of Salisbury, on the 26th of January, 1705, for the reason assigned on the stone.

Author of Phædra and Hippolytus; and esteemed an eminent poet; died, 1710. -Johnson's Lives of the Poets. [The life of Edmund Smith has been so ably written by Dr. Johnson, that a reca- pitulation of the principal circumstances connected with him and his writings will suffice here. The real name of this author was NEALE; he assumed that of Smith from gratitude to an uncle and aunt, who brought him up, and supplied the place of his natural pa- rents. His father, Mr. Neale, is described as an eminent merchant, and his mother was the daughter of Baron Lechmere. Our hero was born in 1668, at Handley, the seat of the Lechmeres, in Worcestershire. At the university he was especially noted for his compositions, and was considered skilful in scholastic disputations; and he added the accomplishments of a good mo- dern linguist to the reputation of an ex- cellent classical scholar. At the beginning of his college life, before he was made student, he exhibited his talent for Latin verse, by contributing a copy of Latin hexameters to the "Strenæ Natalitiæ Acad. Oxon," on the birth of the Prince of Wales, in 1688; this, and two other pieces, cele- brating the inauguration of King William and Queen Mary, and the return of the former after the battle of the Boyne, also taken from Oxford collections, are re- printed in Nichols' Select Collection of Poems (ii. 62, vii. 105-8). In 1691, he wrote the Alcaic Ode on Dr. Pococke, the orientalist (see page 172), printed at the end of the second volume of the "Musæ Anglicana." He took the degree of M.A. in 1696. Having been an unsuccessful candidate for the censorship at Christ Church, when that post was awarded to P. Foulkes (Elec- tion 1694), he vented himself in a scan- dalous lampoon against Dr. Aldrich. His intemperate habits and irregular life, from which no warnings, however frequently given, could wean him, finally caused his expulsion from Christ Church; the sentence had been passed on him in April, 1700, but was not carried into effect until December, 1705. Having thus lost his home and his and M.D., October 13, 1702.-Oxf. Grad.] living, he came to London, where he was 5 E. SMITH, when he stood candidate for one of the universities, so signally distinguished himself by his conspicuous performances, that there arose a contest between the electors of Oxford and Cam- bridge which should choose him; but the electors of Cambridge having the preference that year, they resolutely elected him; but he, being invited at the same time to Christ Church, Oxford, accepted of a studentship much courted both by Whigs and Tories, but he attached himself to the Whig party; and all the accounts of his life give him credit for an independence in his opinions at that time very uncommon in a poor author. His tragedy of Phædra and Hippolytus added lustre to his literary fame; it ap- peared in 1708, with a dedication to Lord Halifax, Addison writing the prologue, and Prior the epilogue. Addison, too, speaks of EE 2 212 it in the most flattering terms in the "Spec- tator" of March 21, 1710-11. Of the poem on the death of his friend, John Philips, in 1709, Dr. Johnson says that "justice must place it among the first elegies which our language can shew; an elegant mixture of fondness and admiration, of dignity and softness." He died in July, 1710, in his 42nd year, at Gartham, Wilts, the seat of Mr. George Duckett, whither he had retired to com- pose a tragedy on Lady Jane Grey, for which he had been collecting materials for some time. This was the Mr. Duckett upon whose authority Oldmixon accused Dean Aldrich and Bishops Atterbury and Smal- ridge of interpolating the text of Claren- don's History. Duckett asserted that Smith had confessed himself the author of the alleged alterations by order of those three divines; a perusal of Bishop Atterbury's vindication of himself and his friends from this charge (which was not brought forward until many years after the death of both Aldrich and Smalridge), clearly shows the falsehood of the accusation. Smith was decidedly a person of very superior abilities, but he seems to have had an overweening notion of his own at- tainments, and the irregularity of his life. interfered considerably with his worldly prospects. His dress was in keeping with the rest of his character, and so loose and dirty, that he went by the nickname of Captain Rag." 66 As a further proof of the extent of his reputation it should be mentioned, that, on the first appearance of Swift's "Tale of a Tub," he was one of those named as its author. His tragedy, his odes to Philips and Pococke, and his Bodleian oration, were pub- lished in 1719, together with his life by Oldisworth, and his epitaph, the compo- sition of the Rev. W. Adams (Election 1693). Among George Stepney's poems is an epistle addressed to our author, compli- menting him upon his dramatic talents.- Oxf.

THOMAS, rector of St. Nicholas, Worcester; a learned antiquary; editor of Dugdale's Warwickshire. [This eminent antiquarian was born in 1670, and was grandson to Dr. Thomas, Bishop of Worcester, being the only child of the Bishop's son, John, by Mary, daughter of a Mr. Bagnall, of Worcester, who assisted in the escape of Charles the Second after the battle of Worcester. He took his de- grees on the following dates:-B.A. 1691; M.A. 1695; B.D. 1723; D.D. 1729. In the year 1700, he travelled into France and Italy, and returned skilled in the languages of those countries, to which he added a knowledge of Saxon, and a thorough ac- quaintance with the classics. Through the interest of his kinsman, Lord Somers, he was made rector of Exhall, Warwickshire. He removed to Worcester, however, for the education of his numerous children, in 1711, and, in 1713, received the cure of the parish of St. Nicholas from Bishop Hough; and, at his death, he was also rector of the united parishes of Grimley and Hallow, adjoining that of St. Nicholas. In addition to the valuable edition of Dugdale, mentioned above, which appeared in 1730, he published a work on the an- tiquities of Malvern, and a survey of Worcester cathedral: they were all dedi- cated to his patron, Bishop Hough. Queen Anne took a great interest in him for the sake of his grandfather, who had been her preceptor at one time. Dr. Thomas, how- ever, refused all court preferment. He was possessed of a large estate near Atherstone, in Warwickshire, which came to him by his wife, a Miss Carter; and another in Gloucestershire, which he inherited from an uncle. He died, July 26, 1738, before he had fulfilled his intention of publishing a history of Worcestershire; "for which undertaking," it is said, "no man was more capable, as he was a perfect master of all ancient learning and history, and a man of strict honor and integrity." Mr. Nash acknowledges the benefit he had de- rived from Dr. Thomas' notes and collec- tions on the subject.

He died a bachelor, July 22, 1707, and his estate was divided among his three sisters, one of whom was married to W. Shippen, and another to D. Windsor (see Admissions of this year).

ROWE, the celebrated poet and dramatic writer;-poet laureate, 1714;- [one of the land] surveyors of the customs in London, and secretary of the presentations; died, 1718, aged 45. [Rowe derived his origin from a family of some antiquity in Devonshire. His father, John Rowe, of Lambertown, in that county, was a serjeant-at-law, an eminent prac- titioner of that faculty, and a publisher of Reports. Nicholas was born at Little Berkford, in Bedfordshire, in 1673; and his education was begun at a grammar school at Highgate, whence he was removed to Westminster, where his proficiency in classical knowledge obtained him great credit; but, as it was intended that he should follow the profession of his father, he was not allowed to wait for his election to one of the universities, but was entered at the Middle Temple at the age of 16. His father died in 1692; and upon this event the future poet entirely abandoned the law, and devoted himself to the more fascinating study of literature, and espe- cially to that connected with the drama. In 1702, when the Duke of Queensberry was made Secretary of State for Scotland, Rowe was appointed his secretary. With this exception, his political principles, which were Whig, prevented him from holding any place during the reign of Queen Anne; but almost immediately after the accession of George the First, he was made poet laureate, and had an appoint- ment in the household of the Prince of Wales. In 1716, he obtained a place in the Customs; and, on the 5th of May, 1718, the Lord Chancellor Parker gave him the office of Secretary of the Presentations in Chancery. He did not long enjoy this preferment, for he died on the 6th of De- cember following, and was interred in Westminster Abbey on the 19th. His works were published by his widow, with the assistance of Mr. (afterwards. Bishop) Newton (Election 1723), in 1720. His tragedies are the works for which he is most celebrated, and they were all favor- ably received at the time. Tamerlane was acted every year on the anniversary of the landing of King William the Third, whom Rowe meant to describe as Tamer- lane, as he did Louis the Fourteenth by Bajazet. But "Jane Shore" was the piece which kept its position with the public the longest time. Dr. Johnson, however, says, "The Fair Penitent' is one of the most s one o pleasing tragedies on the stage, for there is scarcely any work of any poet at once so interesting by the fable, and so delightful by the language." The same biographer says of Rowe's translation of the Pharsalia of Lucan, published after his death in 1728, that it is "one of the greatest productions of English poetry, for there is perhaps none that so completely exhibits the genius and spirit of the original." There is also the high testimony of the late Mr. Campbell, to the services rendered to the British stage by this worthy, that "Rowe, if he did not bring back the full fire of the drama, at least preserved its vestal spark from being wholly extinguished." Although he failed in the edition of Shakespeare which he published, he deserves the credit of being the first who published a complete edition of the works of the immortal bard; and Mr. Campbell defends the account of Shakespeare, which he prefixed to this edition, from the charge of inaccuracy which Mr. Malone had brought against it. It is recorded, as a curious literary fact, that Lintot only paid Rowe 367. 10s. for this edition, 50%. for " Jane Shore," and 75l. for "Lady Jane Grey." An anecdote, which Dr. Johnson quotes from Spence, will bear repetition. Rowe had applied to Lord Oxford for employ- ment, and was put off with an intimation that a knowledge of Spanish was requisite.

He was elected to fill that office permanently, August 24, 1712; and died, aged 79, being the Senior Fellow of his college, February 12, 1748. He refused to sign the petition against Dr. Bentley. Cole describes him as "born in France, an old miserly refugee, died rich in college, and left his money among the French re- fugees. He was a meagre, thin man, went partly double, and for his oddities and way of living was much ridiculed."

ALSOP, [installed] prebendary of Winchester [May 25, 1715];-rector of Brightwell, Berks ;-an eminent writer of odes in Latin ;-died [June 16], 1726. [M.A. 1696. He was held in high esti- mation by Dean Aldrich, under whom he filled the responsible posts of tutor and censor of Christ Church, and is said to have been "a principal ornament of his house at a time when it was in its highest re- pute." The manner in which Alsop discharged his college duties brought him to the notice of Sir Jonathan Trelawny, Bishop of Win- chester (Election 1667), who made him his. chaplain, and also gave him his stall and his living. He refused many offers of further advancement in life, and spent his days in retirement, which enabled him to indulge his natural inclination for classical litera- ture; in this branch of learning he was a great proficient, and possessed a remarkably accurate taste. He published, in 1698, "Fabularum Esopicarum Delectus," to which he pre- fixed a poetical dedication to Lord Scuda- more, and a preface, in which he took part with Boyle against Bentley; this accounts for the disparaging terms in which he is spoken of by the latter; on the other hand, this production is much praised by Dr. Walton, and also by Dr. W. King (Election 1681). Many fugitive pieces of his, and amongst them some poems addressed to Sir John Dolben (Admissions 1700), appeared in the earlier numbers of the Gentleman's Magazine; others are to be found in Dodsley's Collection; and, in July, 1748, there were printed proposals for collecting and publishing, by subscription, his Latin odes, which was afterwards done by Sir Francis Barnard (Election 1729), in 1752. He took the degree of B.D. at Oxford, in 1706, and was incorporated in the same degree at Cambridge. He was proctor for the diocese of Win- chester in the Convocation. An unfortunate law-suit, in which he was cast, compelled him to leave England, in 1717, and he did not return until 1720. The circumstances are referred to in Bishop Atterbury's Correspondence. His death was caused by the falling in of the bank, as he was walking by the river side in his own garden. His picture is in Christ Church Hall; and among the persons who were under hist tuition at Christ Church was James, Earl of Salisbury, who has perpetuated the fact by the inscription on the foundation-stone of Peckwater Quadrangle (see J.

LEWIS, was born in Wales, where he possessed a small estate ;-B.A. 1693;— under-secretary to the Earl of Oxford when Secretary of State, to the Earl of Dartmouth, and to Mr. Bromley; and Mem- ber of Parliament for Lestwithiel, 1713. He was much in the confidence of Lord Oxford, and sincerely devoted to his in- terests. He was also most intimate with Swift, of which innumerable proofs are to be found in Swift's letters and works. He had small bequests made to him both by Pope, and by Miss Vanhomrigh. He died, June 10, 1754, aged 83, and lies buried, near his wife, in the cloisters of West- minster Abbey. She died in 1736. There is constant allusion in Swift's correspond- ence to the tender manner in which she was nursed by her husband, during many years of hopeless sickness. Lewis was nicknamed by Swift, The Shaver, in the lines in his Imitation of Hor. Ep. bk. i.-vii., addressed to Lord Oxford, in 1713- Harley, the nation's great support, Returning home one day from Court, * * * * * * * My Lord (who, if a man may say't, Loves mischief better than his meat,) Was now disposed to crack a jest, mon And bid friend Lewis go in quest, (This Lewis is a cunning shaver, And very much in Harley's favor,)" &c. &c. And, in Nov. 1723, the Dean gives the following account of his friend's mode of life when out of office :-"The Shaver is an honest friendly man as before; he has a good deal to do to smother his Welsh fire, which you know he has in a greater degree than some would imagine. He posts himself a good part of the year in some warm house, wins the ladies' money at ombre, and con- vinces them that they are highly obliged to him." Again, in a note written at the back of one of Lewis's letters, "Lewis, who is wiser than ever he was; the best of hus- bands; I am sure I can say, from my own experience, that he is the best of friends; he was so to me, when I had little hopes I should ever live to thank him." Gay, likewise, thus introduces Lewis into his poetical address to Pope (already quoted, p. 203): "And Lewis, who has never friend forsaken." Cole's MSS., xlv. 334; Cant.

To his other dignities was added, April 27, 1722, that of prebendary of Reculverland, St. Paul's cathedral; and he was elected visitor of Balliol College, Oxford, June 17, 1723. He died at Bath, but was buried in the family vault at Stanmore Parva, or Whitchurch, Middlesex. He married a granddaughter of Sir Rob. Atkins, some- time Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer. His son Robert was admitted a King's Scholar in 1722. Three sermons, preached by him on spe- cial occasions, one of them before the House of Commons, and a speech delivered to the clergy of his archdeaconry, were printed. His character was thus drawn by a contemporary:-"In him sincere piety concurred with noble extraction to render the garment of holiness honorable. His de- meanour was cheerful and humble, his manners sweet and unblameable, and his faith lively, firm, and orthodox; good- nature, compassion, generosity, and charity, were visible in the whole course of his life and behaviour."

He was chosen secretary to the Royal African So- ciety, June 11, 1720, which office he held till his death, on the 5th of April, 1731, at the age of 59. The representative of this gentleman was in possession of a curious journal kept by him, extracts from which he sent, in January, 1834, to one of the public news- papers, accompanied by a letter, part of which is here given, together with the statements it introduced, as they cannot fail to be interesting to any person at all acquainted with the economy of St. Peter's College. TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING MAIL. * * * * * * * I subjoin an extract from the manuscript diary, kept (after the manner of one nearly his contemporary, that most amusing, quaint, and pre- cise diurnal recorder of events, Mr. Samuel Pepys) by Mr. Francis Lynn, a young gentleman who commenced his education at Westminster School, in 1681, from whence he was, in 1691, elected off to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he went through the usual academical process to the Ba- chelor of Arts degree. This course of study oc- cupied 14 years--ten at school, and four at col- lege. The total of charges of every kind, during this term of years, it will be found, amounted to no more than 2137., or an average of 157. and a fraction per annum; which sum, by his own in- dustry, the youth reduced to 1817. 2s. 8d., or less than 137. per annum, showing an enormous dis- proportion between the expenses of a liberal education in that and the present day, for which the comparative value of money at the two periods referred to, does not afford anything approaching to a justification. The manuscript diary devolved to me as the sole executor of the grandson of Mr. Lynn; it is written in a beautiful hand, and the naiveté of its style, homeliness of some of its par- ticulars, and similarity of the offices filled by the respective writers, Mr. Lynn having been clerk and secretary to the Judge Advocate-General of the Forces and Secretary at War of King William the Third, and afterwards chief secretary of the Royal African Company, remind one forcibly of that other most agreeable of diarists before mentioned. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, WILLIAM YATMAN. Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury Square. I was born the 2nd day of November, 1671, about one of the clock in the morning, in West- minster, and bred up by my father and two elder brothers, JOHN and CHARLES, who were at West- F F 218 minster School, till between nine and ten years old, and then, without having been at any other school, I was put there under the care of Dr. Busby, or rather of Mr. Knipe, the second master, being admitted the very lowest boy in the school, which I passed quite through, and, in the course, was captain of every form. I lodged and dieted at home, so the charge of my schooling, during the eight years from admission till I got into the col- lege, being at 10s. the quarter, was, for eight years, 167.; to Dr. Busby, every Christmas, as a gift, one guinea, 87. 12s.; to Mr. Knipe, ditto, half-a-guinea, 41. 6s.; to the usher, ditto, 5s., 21.

SHIPPEN, Member of Parliament for Bramber, Sussex, 1708, 1710; for Salt- ash, Cornwall, 1713; for Newton, Lanca- shire, 1714, and four following parliaments; a famous speaker; died, 1743. [This celebrated parliamentary leader and orator was the son of the Rev. Dr. William Shippen, of Stockport, Cheshire. He graduated as B.A. in 1694, and became a member of the Middle Temple. He married one of the sisters of his schoolfellow, Ber- tram Stote (Admissions 1688), whilst Dixey Windsor married another; and it was through the interest of Windsor that he ob- tained his first seat in Parliament. On the organization of the opposition to Sir R. Walpole's government, at the beginning of George the Second's reign, Shippen was looked upon as the leader of the Jacobite party, and commanded fifty votes. His career in the House of Commons, and the reputation for inflexible integrity, which he had acquired, and maintained throughout his life, are matters of history. He was an active debater, speaking upon almost every question of the slightest importance, and he had the merit, rare in all ages, but especially in that, of being incorruptible; witness the testimony of his political op- ponent, who is said to have declared "he would say who was not corruptible-that man was Shippen." His speeches were characterized by a straightforward zeal, and fervid eloquence, -so Pope speaks of him in the Translations of Horace, sat. i. 51:- "I love to pour out all myself, as plain As downright Shippen, or as old Montagne; In them, as certain to be lov'd as seen, The soul stood forth, nor kept a thought within." Two occasions, in which this fervour displayed itself, have been particularly recorded. One, in April, 1717, on General Stanhope's motion, for the grant of a supply to the King, on account of the intended invasion from Sweden, when Shippen said, "That it was a great misfortune that so wise and so excellent a Prince as his Ma- jesty was as little acquainted with the usages and forms of Parliamentary pro- ceedings, as with the language of our coun- try; that, if he had known either, he would not have sent such a message, which he was sure was unparliamentary and un- precedented; and, therefore, 'twas his opinion, that it was penned by some foreign minister, and then translated into English.' The other speech was made in the same year, but at the beginning of the following session, and described the second paragraph of the King's Speech as containing pro- positions "rather calculated for the meri- dian of Germany, than for Great Britain ;" and went on to say, "It is the only in- felicity of his Majesty's reign, that he is unacquainted with our language and con- stitution." For these expressions he was committed to the Tower, where he remained confined until March, 1718, when Parlia- ment was prorogued. He was always ready for the defence of his friends; both in 1715 and 1717, he spoke in favor of Lord Oxford, and, in 1723, very strongly in favor of Dr. Freind (Elec- tion 1694). He also exerted himself on behalf of Sir Richard Steele's motion, in support of a petition for mercy in the case of the Lords condemned for the rebellion of 1715. In 1721, we find him urging violent measures against the promoters and speculators in the South Sea Scheme. On the celebrated motion for the removal of Sir Robert Walpole, made by Mr. Sandys in 1742, Shippen astonished and offended his party, by leaving the House without voting, accompanied by thirty-four of his supporters; this is asserted, by Archdeacon Coxe, to have been the fulfilment of a pledge, which Shippen had given to Sir Robert Walpole, not to act against him on a personal question, in return for a service rendered by Sir Robert, to a friend of Shippen's, who had been detected in cor- respondence with the Pretender. Mr. Shippen held the office of a commis- sioner for examining into the public ac- counts in 1711; and was a leading member of the "October Club," which met at the Bell tavern, in Westminster. He published his speech against Sir R. Walpole's proposal for increasing the Civil List revenue in 1727, and also wrote se- veral pamphlets. Of his Latin poetry, there are two specimens in the "Examen Poeti- 221 66 cum:" they were composed in 1695. Two political poems, "Faction displayed," and Moderation displayed," are said to have been his productions; and the Duke of Buckinghamshire treats him as a poet, in his "Election of a Poet Laureate " ":- "To Shippen, Apollo was cold with respect, But said, in a greater assembly he shin'd, As places were things he had ever declin'd." Shippen died at his house, in Norfolk Street, May 1, 1743. He lived for some time at Holland House, but afterwards in Norfolk Street. "His house," says Archdeacon Coxe, "was the rendezvous for persons of rank, learning, and abilities; his manners were pleasing and dignified, and his conversation replete with vivacity and wit." His wife, whose fortune, after the death of her brother, was very large, seems to have been of an unamiable disposition, and fond of money; she, however, resisted the enticements to Court which Queen Caroline held out to her. The property which Shippen inherited from his father went to his sister's son, Dr. Leyborne (Election 1712).-Cole's MSS., xlv. 334; Cant.

He was first returned for the university of Cam- bridge, in 1708, and continued to represent that body in Parliament until 1727, when the popularity of Mr. Finch and Mr. Towns- hend carried the election against him-a result the less calculated upon, as he had never swerved from the political principles with which he started, nor given the "Se- nate" any other reason for their change of conduct to him. He was a person highly esteemed for uprightness, and integrity of conduct, and a Tory in his politics. He was nominated one of the committee to inquire into the proceedings relating to the execu- tion of the South Sea Act. He held the post of Storekeeper to the Ordnance until 1717. He was brother-in-law to William Ship- pen, having married the youngest daughter of Sir R. Stote, co. Northumberland, knight, who became one of the co-heiresses of her brother, Bertram, upon whom a few remarks have already been made (see Admissions 1688). Mr. Windsor died, aged 70, at Brooke- end, in the parish of Gamlingay, Cam- bridgeshire, Oct. 20, 1743, and was buried in the church of that parish.-Cole's Athenæ, W, 210, MSS., ix. 127, xlv. 244.334; Cant.

It is said to have been pretty well received, though the time of year was not favorable to its appearance. The title of the other was the 66 Unhappy Kindness, or the Fruitless Revenge;" it was only an alteration of Fletcher's "Wife for a Month," and was also acted in 1697, at the Theatre Royal. Both these pieces were published. Scott was secretary to the Duke of Roxburgh during the latter part of Queen Anne's reign.

Adams, 18. Gul. Ad., Charlton, Pleb." M.A. 1699. He was an intimate friend of Mr. Browne Willis, the antiqua- rian (p. 205); and, in the life of that per- son, in the Biographia Britannica, is said to have been "a man of uncommon parts and learning, in whose conversation he (Willis) could not fail to improve, and who, more- over, in the early part of his life, made it his business to introduce him into the most polite company in the university, and for so valuable a friend he ever afterwards re- tained the greatest regard and esteem." Adams was elected the first Catechetical Lecturer at Christ Church, on Dr. Busby's foundation;-became rector of Staunton upon Wye, Herefordshire; and left behind him fifteen sermons, preached before the university, which, he desired his executors, might be the only work of his printed after his death. They were accordingly pub- lished, in 1716, by the well known Dr. Sacheverell, with a dedication to Adams' friend, Richard Hopton, Esq., of Canon Frome, probably the father of the boy elected to Christ Church in 1732. Adams also wrote the epitaph on Smith, printed in Oldisworth's edition of the works of that poet, and was the author of poems in the "Examen Poeticum," and the "Musa An- glicanæ." gi Among the books bequeathed to the church at Henley-upon-Thames, by C. Aldrich (Election 1699), is an edition of Cornelius Nepos, published at the Univer- sity Press, in 1697, of which we learn from the following, that Adams was the editor:-" Ex dono ornatissimi Juvenis Gulielmi Adams, editoris, et istius Ecclesiæ Alumni et A. B." A MS. note to the copy in the British Museum, from Dr. Burney's library, calls it "a very correct book, well executed;" and says that a copy sold for a guinea and a half at the sale of the Bishop of Autun's library, in 1793. The book is dedicated to Sir Roger Mostyn, and alludes to assistance afforded to the editor by the learning of Dr. Stubbe (Election 1657). Oxf. Grad.; Nichols' Lit.

He wrote a copy of verses, printed among the Cambridge poems, on the return of King William from the continent, in 1697. The only two brothers he had were elected, the one to Cambridge, in the next year, the other to Oxford, in 1702. In the former edition he is confounded with his first cousin, the Hon.

He was chaplain to the Duke of Shrewsbury and to Lord Maynard. There is another work of his in the British Museum, entitled 66 Anglia Rediviva," and containing a full description of all shires, cities, principal towns, and rivers in England; it was de- dicated to Sir Thomas Twysden, of Kent, and published in 1699. His translation of Horace was disparagingly spoken of by Dr. Francklin (Election 1739). Dr. Dunstar seems to have been living when the fifth edition of the Satires was published.

[Nov. 19], 1724; prebendary and precentor of Exeter. [The third son of Hugh Foulkes, of the city of Chester, Esq., whose father was Robert Foulkes, of Lleehugdd, co. Denbigh. M.A. 1701;-wrote a Latin poem, pub- lished in the "Musa Anglicana" (p. 114), on the east window given to Christ Church cathedral, by Dr. Peter Birch; and con- tributed to the poems, published at Oxford, on the death of George the First and ac- cession of George the Second. He obtained the office of censor in his college (see E. Smith, Election 1688); and, in 1705, filled the office of proctor in the university; -proceeded B.D. and D.D. Nov. 20, 1710; -was presented to the benefices which he held in the church of Exeter in 1730; and was also rector of Bishop's Cheriton, and vicar of Thorverton, in the county of Devon, and likewise sub-dean of Christ Church. Mr. Andrew Davy, of Medland, Bishop's Cheriton, dying without issue, in 1722, bequeathed landed property in that parish to Dr. Foulkes. Dr. Foulkes died, April 30, 1747, aged 71, and was interred in Exeter Cathedral. His wife was daughter of Dr. Blackall, Bishop of Exeter. There is a sermon of his in print.

FREIND, physician to Queen Caro- line; professor of chemistry, Oxford, 1704; F.R.S. 1711; fellow of the College of Phy- sicians, 1716; Member of Parliament for Launceston, Cornwall, 1722; an eminent physician and elegant writer; died [July 26], 1728. [This distinguished ornament of his pro- fession, whose father and brothers have al- ready been commented upon, under Elec- tions 1656, 1686, and 1687, was born at Croughton, in 1675, and was famous for his attainments, both at school, and at the Aldrich, in 1696, to publish, in conjunction university. He was selected, by Dean with P. Foulkes, a new edition of the ora- tions of Eschines in Ctesiphontem, and of Demosthenes pro Coronâ. This joint task was very creditably accomplished, and Freind edited another classical work in the same year. In the following years the Phalaris controversy was agitated; our author bore an active part in it, and, in conjunction with Alsop (Election 1690), is supposed to have written the discussion G G 226 upon Æsop, in the examination of Bent- ley's "Dissertation." But, notwithstand- ing these digressions into the regions of polite literature, he studied the science of medicine with the closest application, and the most successful results. His first pro- fessional work, "Hydrocephalus," appeared in 1699; in 1701 he took the degree of M.A., and that of M.B. in 1703. In 1705, he accompanied the Earl of Peterborough as physician to the army in Spain, and thence he went to Italy. On his return he received the degree of M.D. by diploma, July 12, 1707, and published a defence of Lord Peterborough, which had so rapid a sale that a third edition appeared in 1708. In 1709, he published, and dedicated to Sir Isaac Newton, the Chemical Lectures which, in his capacity of Professor, he had delivered at Oxford in 1704. In 1712, the Duke of Ormonde appointed him physician to the army in Flanders. He returned in 1714, and some notion of the extent of his practice is derived from the fact that he received 300 guineas for attending Mr. Pulteney, at Ingestre. He was consulted by all the Tories, as Dr. Mead was by all the Whigs. He read the Gulstonian Lec- ture at the College of Physicians in 1717; in 1718 was nominated one of the Censors of that Society; and was the Harveian orator in 1720. Dr. Freind was returned for the borough of Launceston in 1722, but declared not duly elected; he was, how- ever, duly chosen in 1725. He distin- guished himself in Parliament by attacks on the measures of Sir R. Walpole; and was committed to the Tower, on the plea of his participation in Layer's plot, but, in reality, for his zealous defence of his friend, Bishop Atterbury, March, 1723. He was generously bailed by his rival, Dr. Mead, and three other leading members of his profession, in June, and finally dis- charged in the following November. During his imprisonment Freind pub- lished his letter to Dr. Mead, on the small- pox, and began his greatest work, the History of Physic from the time of Galen to the 16th century: the first part of it appeared in 1725, and the second in 1726. He was physician to the Prince of Wales, and was admitted, with other literary characters, into the society of Queen Caroline. For his position at Court he is said to have been indebted to the cure which he made of Lord Townshend and his two sons. Early in 1728, Atterbury addressed to him the letter on the character of Iapis, to whom the Bishop compared him. Dr. Freind was buried at Hitcham, Bucks, of which he had purchased the manor, but a monument was raised to his memory in Westminster Abbey. A hand- some pension was conferred on his widow by the King and Queen, and, by desire of the latter, his only son, John, was elected from Westminster to Christ Church, in 1731. His wife was the eldest daughter of Thomas Morice, Esq., paymaster of the forces in Portugal, and sister to W. Morice (Admissions 1705). During his lifetime, he gave 50%. to the repairs of the College of Physicians, and assisted in building the anatomical schools at Oxford, besides leaving 1000l. to Christ Church, for the study of that branch of his profession. Dr. Freind wrote the epitaphs to Bishop Sprat and his son (Election 1697), in West- minster Abbey. His employment of Mait- taire, in the edition of Aretæus, has already been spoken of (Admissions 1682). His works were collected into a folio volume, in 1732, under the editorship of Dr. Wigan (Election 1714), who prefixed to them a biographical account of the author, in Latin, whilst Dr. Robert Freind wrote the dedication to the Queen. He was held in the highest estimation as a scientific and practical physician, both in England and on the continent, and his reputation for classical composition was equal to his professional fame. Atterbury writes thus from his exile to his son-in-law, upon Freind's death :-" Dr. Freind's death is looked on as a general loss. Men of all parties and all nations lament it, and allow he was the first man of his faculty in Europe." We may quote, too, the lines written on him by Mr. Samuel Wesley (Election 1711):- "When Radcliffe fell afflicted Physic cried, 'How vain my power!' and languish'd at his side. When Freind expired, deep struck, her hair she tore, And speechless fainted, and reviv'd no more, Her flowing grief no farther could extend, She mourns with Radcliffe, but she dies with Freind." Dr. Mead is said to have made over to Dr. Freind 5000 guineas, the profits of his attendance upon the regular patients of the latter during his confinement in the Tower. There is also a curious story told of the same physician refusing to prescribe for Sir R. Walpole till the Doctor was released. An ode was addressed to him by Anthony Alsop, on his return to Parliament by the burgesses of Launceston. It is printed at p. 32 of Dr. Alsop's works. A medal was struck of him, and a por- trait of him is in the Bodleian, and another, 227 by Sir Godfrey Kneller, in Christ Church Hall, with this stanza- "Cui suas Artes, sua dona lætus Et Lyram et Venæ salientis ictum Scire concessit, celerem et medendi Delius usum."

NEWTON, principal of Hart Hall, 1710; founder of Hertford College, 1740; canon of Christ Church [Dec. 23], 1752; died, 1753. [M.A. 1701;-B.D. 1707;-D.D. of Hart Hall, Dec. 7, 1710. He was the youngest son of Thos. Newton, Esq., Lord of the Manor of Lavendon, Bucks, which lordship-having survived all his brothers-he inherited. The great affection he bore to Hart Hall induced him to convert it into a College; to which end, having erected a chapel and other build- ings, purchased land, made a partial en- dowment for a principal, four senior, and eight junior fellows, and compiled rules and statutes, which were confirmed by the King, Nov., 1739,-he obtained, August 27, 1740, from King George the Second, a charter, making the society a body corporate and politic, designated, "The Principal and Fellows of Hertford College, in the Univer- sity of Oxford." This College lapsed again into a Hall, in 1805, on the death of Dr. B. Hodgson (Election 1764), and was finally merged in Magdalen Hall. Dr. Newton published the rules and regulations he had drawn up for his College, and several tracts connected with the government of it;- several single sermons; a translation, into Latin, of the characters of Theophrastus, with notes and observations, 1754;-and, in 1784, a volume of sermons preached be- fore the University of Oxford. Dr. Newton died on the 21st of April, 1752, in his 78th year, and was buried in the chancel of Lavendon Church, where his only child, the wife of the Rev. Knightley Adams, raised a monument, with a long inscription in English, to her father's memory. His picture, a Kit Kat, presented in 1762, is among the founders of the university in the Bodleian.-Hist. and Antiq. ii. 956, iii. 641. 647. 649, Appx. 231; Oxf.

WHITWORTH, ambassador to the Czar, and several courts; created Lord Whitworth, in Ireland. [This eminent diplomatist "was bred," to use the words of Horace Walpole, "under that accomplished minister and poet, Mr. Step- ney" (Election 1682), and, having attended him through several courts of Germany, was appointed Resident at the Diet of Ratisbon in 1702; and, in 1704, Envoy Extraordinary to the Court of Russia. He was so popular in Russia, that he was again deputed thither in 1709-10, as Ambassador Extraordinary, and was successful in pre- venting the rupture which was expected with that Court, in consequence of the ar- rest, by his creditors, of Mons. Maté, the Czar's minister, in London. A curious ac- count of the settlement of this difference was published in German, of which a copy is in the British Museum. The matter is also curious as having led to the passing of an Act of Parliament in March, 1709, for "preserving the privileges of ambassadors." On his second mission to the Muscovite Court, Mr. Whitworth found Catherine I., whom, on his former mission, he had known in a much humbler station, exalted to the rank of Empress; and, if an anecdote re- lated by Horace Walpole is to be relied upon, the Empress, after honoring the Am- bassador with her hand during a minuet, recalled herself to his memory by asking, in a whisper, whether he had "forgotten Little Kate ?" On the 13th of December, 1713, Mr. Whitworth was appointed first Commis- sioner to treat with the Commissioners of the King of France, pursuant to the Treaty of Commerce at Utrecht. On the 30th of April, 1714, he was sent as "Plenipoten- tiary to the Congress at Baden, for con- cluding a peace between the Emperor and the Empire and the Most Christian King;" and, in the same year, to the Diets of Augsburg and Ratisbon. In 1716, he went as Envoy Extraordinary and Plenipoten- tiary to the King of Prussia; and as Envoy Extraordinary to the Hague in 1717. He went on another embassy to Berlin in 1719; and, in consideration of his services, was raised to the peerage, by the title of Baron Whitworth, of Galway, in the kingdom of Ireland, October 10, 1720. In 1722, Lord Whitworth was dispatched, as Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, to the Congress then sitting at Cambray, for the adjustment of the differences be- tween the Emperor and the Queen of Spain; and, in October of that year, was GG2 228 chosen M.P. for Newport, in the Isle of Wight. He returned from his embassy in 1724, and, dying at his house in Gerard Street, Soho, on the 23rd of October, 1725, was buried in Westminster Abbey. Lord Whitworth was born of gentle pa- rents, being the son of Richard Whitworth, Esq., of Blowerpipe, co. Stafford, and of Anne Mosely, niece of Sir O. Mosely, of Cheshire. His brother, Francis, will be mentioned under the Admissions of 1701. He took his B.A. degree in 1699, and was chosen Fellow of Trinity in 1700. He wrote "An Account of Russia as it was in the year 1710;" which was printed by Horace Walpole, at Strawberry Hill, in 1758, from the MS. in the possession of Richard Cambridge, Esq., who bought it at a sale of books belonging to Mr. Stephen Poyntz's secretary.

JEFFREYS, Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, 1701; author of a vo- lume of Miscellanies in Verse and Prose; died [August 17], 1755, aged 77. [An account has already been given, under Election 1659, of his father, Chris- topher Jeffreys, of Weldron, Northampton- shire. George was born in that county in 1676;-entered a pensioner of Trinity Col- lege, Cambridge, in 1695;-admitted a scholar, 1697;-B.A. 1698;—M.A. 1702;— and filled the office of Senior Taxor in 1707. He also acted as the deputy of Dr. Ayloffe, the orator to the university (Election 1680); and became a barrister-at-law. He gave up his fellowship in 1709; but his choice of a profession was merely nominal, for he never practised at the bar. During the earlier part of his life he acted as secretary to Dr. Harstonge, Bishop of Derry, but his later years were passed in the family of the first two Dukes of Chandos, whose near kinsman he was, being nephew to James, Lord Chandos, father of the first Duke, and of Henry and Francis Brydges (Elections 1691 and 1694). G. Jeffreys was the author of the verses prefixed to Addison's Cato, which are de- scribed as left with the printer by an unknown hand, and the author of which Addison never discovered. In 1731, he published "Merope," and subsequently "Edwin ;" both were tragedies, acted at the Theatre Royal in Lincoln's Inn Fields. His miscellaneous poems appeared in 1754, and were printed by subscription. Several specimens of his poetry are given in Nichols' Select Collection of Poems, vi. 57-8. As he published an oratorio, entitled, "The Triumph of Truth," he probably in- herited the love which his father and grandfather entertained for music.-Cole's Athenæ, J, 46, MSS., xlv. 335; Addison's Works, i. 257; Gent.

Another edition was printed in 1781. The work was dedicated to Lord Somers. He was likewise the author of an Account of Switzerland, in 1714, from observations made when he lived there. This book was reprinted at Edinburgh, in 1756. There is a copy of this work in French in the Bodleian Library, printed in 1714. Stanyan was appointed secretary under Viscount Townshend, in the room of Horace Walpole, Esq., Oct. 15, 1715; and continued in that post by Addison, April 20, 1717.

STEWART, captain of the guards in Ireland ;-brother to Lord Mountjoy. [A share in a poem entitled "Givetta Ar- dens," published in the "Musæ Anglicanæ," is attributed to him, in conjunction with Stephen Lennard (who stands next to him in this Election), and the Hon. Charles Bertie. He was the third son of Sir Wm. Stewart, first Viscount Mountjoy, a dis- tinguished officer, and Master General of the Ordnance in Ireland. He was Member for Castlebar, in the Irish Parliament, in 1704 and 1713; for Strathbane, in 1715; and for the county of Tyrone, in 1727. He died in 1728. His death is thus recorded in the Chronological Diary of the Historical Register (xvi. 43):-" August 4.-Dy'd at Dublin, Richard Stewart, Esq., brother of William, Lord Viscount Mountjoy."-Musæ Anglicanæ, 46; List of Irish Parliament, 1713; Lodge's Peerage of Ireland, vi. 254.] 3 [S.

He was elected Fellow of Trinity College, 1701;-Vice- Master, 1722; and was appointed rector of Dickleburgh, Norfolk, 1731; besides this living, he also held the perpetual curacy of St. Mary's, in Cambridge, having been elected to a conduct's place. He continued, therefore, to reside in Trinity College. He had been, to use Cole's expression, a great pupil monger, " and had almost all the Westminster Scholars under his tuition. The character given of this person places him in a most unamiable light. He was the unscrupulous supporter of Bentley in all his measures, and rendered the Master great service, by obtaining signatures in favor of the shameful compromise between Bentley and Serjeant Miller, in 1719. The latter years of Dr. Baker's life were embit- tered by pecuniary distresses, which occa- 230 sioned the sequestration of his living. He died in October, 1745, as Cole relates, in the same garret in which he had been ad- mitted scholar, and was buried in All Saints' Church on All Saints' Day. Several pecu- liarities are recorded of him: among the most singular perhaps, are, that he ordered his own shroud, coffin, and gravestone, and that he would not allow his rooms to be washed with water from the river, lest they should smell of fish. His subserviency to Bentley is thus ridiculed in some doggrel verses, taken from "The Trinity College Triumph":- "But Baker alone to the lodge was admitted, Where he bow'd and he cring'd, and he smil'd and he prated."

Bladen was born in Essex, and was sent to a private school, where he laid the foundation of his connection with the Duke of Marlborough. Having entered the army, he rose to the grade of a lieutenant-colonel under his old schoolfellow. He subse- quently distinguished himself by abilities and integrity, which showed him well qua- lified for the civil functions he was se- lected to discharge. Besides the employ- ments detailed above, he was also one of the Privy Council of Ireland; and was sent to the conferences at Antwerp, in 1732, to treat with the Emperor and the States General, as Commissary and Plenipoten- tiary: he also received the appointment of Envoy Extraordinary to the Court of Spain, but declined to accept it. He was a steady adherent of Sir Robert Walpole, and an active Member of Parlia- ment; he appears to have managed the business of his department in the House of Commons, and to have spoken constantly in defence of the measures of Government, but particularly on matters connected with trade and the army. He continued at the Board of Trade, and in Parliament, until his death, on the 15th of February, 1746, at the age of 66. He lies buried in Stepney Church, where there is a monument to him, upon which the offices he held, and his qualifications for them, are recorded in an English epitaph. 66 He wrote two dramatical pieces in 1705; "Solon, or Philosophy no Defence against Love," a tragi-comedy;-and the masque of Orpheus and Eurydice," published with- out his consent. The work mentioned in the old edition was published in 1719, and was described in the title-page as "Julius Cæsar's Commentaries, made English from the La- tin; as also a Commentary of the Alex- andrian, African, and Spanish Wars, by Aulus Hirtius, or Oppius, &c., with the Au- thor's Life; adorned with Sculptures from the Designs of the famous Palladio.” It was a work of considerable reputation, and dedicated to the Duke of Marlborough. There was another edition printed in 1750. Pope introduced him into the fourth book of the Dunciad in no complimentary man- ner, but his memory has been vindicated from these aspersions by Dr. Warton, who says that Colonel Bladen was a man of some literature, and that it was not known how he had incurred Pope's wrath: Dr. Warton also relates, on the authority of Collins the poet, Bladen's nephew, that he supplied Voltaire with all the information on Camoens, which that historian gave to the world, in the Essay on the Epic Poets of all Nations. · Colonel Bladen was usually described as of Aldbro' Hatch, Essex, an estate which came to him on the death of his wife's uncle, Colonel Jory, in 1725. He built the present mansion on the estate at a con- siderable cost.-Lysons' Environs, iii. 430, iv. 86; Warton's Pope, v. 283-4, note to line 560, bk. iv. Dunciad; Nichols' Lit. Hist.; Gent.

His "Epicteti Enchiridion, Latinis versibus adumbratum," the work alluded to above, appeared in 1715, and procured him a con- siderable reputation. It was undertaken by the advice of Bishop Smalridge (Elec- tion 1682), dedicated to that prelate, whose chaplain he was, and completed through the liberality and assistance of Richard Mostyn, Esq., of Pembedw, and R.

He wrote one of the congratulatory poems on the return of William the Third, after the peace in 1697. In 1709, he sub- scribed the petition against Dr. Bentley. He was chaplain to the Earl of Portland, and published a vindication of the Church of England from some aspersions cast on it in a sermon, preached at Whitehall, by Mr. 232 Higgins, in 1707; and a commentary on Isaiah, 1709; the latter has a dedication to Lord Portland, in which a parallel is drawn between the deliverance of the Israelites from the yoke of the Assyrians, and the be- neficial effects of the Revolution of 1688.- Cole's Athenæ, W, 3, MSS., xlv. 327. 335; Monk's Life of Bentley, i. 253.] 6 T. DIBBEN, precentor of St. Paul's, London. [Born at Manston, Dorsetshire, and re- ceived institution to a family living, the rectory of Great Fontmel, in that county, in 1701. He was chaplain to Dr. Robinson, Bishop of Bristol and Lord Privy Seal, and attended that prelate to the Congress of Utrecht. The same patron collated him, in 1714, to the precentorship of St. Paul's. He represented the diocese of Bristol in the Convocations of 1715 and 1727. He died in London, at the Poultry Compter, April 5, 1741, having, for some years before his death, been deranged in his intellects. He graduated B.A. 1699;-M.A. 1703 ;— B.D. 1710;-and D.D. 1721. He published several sermons on par- ticular occasions: one of them was preached at Utrecht, before the Plenipotentiaries, March 9-20, 1711, on the anniversary of the Queen's accession. He had also at- tained considerable celebrity as a Latin poet. He wrote one of the poems printed at Cambridge, on the return of King Wil- liam the Third from the Continent, in 1697; and translated Prior's "Carmen Seculare into Latin verse: of which Prior, in the preface to his poems in 1733, says, "I take this occasion to thank my good friend and schoolfellow, Mr. Dibben, for his excel- lent version of the 'Carmen Seculare,' though my gratitude may justly carry a little envy with it; for I believe the most accurate judges will find the translation exceed the original."-Cole's MSS., xlv. 335; Hutchins' Dorsetshire, iii. 361; Watt's Bib.

He did not subscribe the first petition to the Bishop of Ely, containing the accusa- tions against Dr. Bentley, in 1709; but, in 1716, he did put his name to that addressed to the King, which prayed his Majesty to settle the differences of the college by de- termining who was its Visitor. On this account, in 1720, Bentley refused to no- minate him to the office of Catechist, and treated him with gross incivility. He sub- sequently received the appointment from the Senior Fellows. The Master of Trinity rejected, in a similar manner, his applica- tion for a college preachership, which he wished for to enable him to hold the living of Barrington. In 1721, Malled accepted the vicarage of Gainford, Durham, which he held until his death, in 1747. He was examined as a witness against Dr. Bentley on his second trial, at Ely House, in July, 1733.-Cole's MSS., xlv. 244. 355. 359; Cant.

He was author of four volumes of travels, several poems, and plays; died, 1738-9.-Anecdotes of Bowyer, by Nichols, p. 149. [This person's history was a very sin- gular one. He was the son of Dr. Breval, a prebendary of Westminster. After his election as Fellow of Trinity, he proceeded M.A., in 1704; and not long afterwards be- came one of the earliest victims of Dr. Bent- ley's despotic character. Having interfered to protect a lady from the ill usage of her husband, the latter summoned him for an assault; and as he neglected to answer the summons (on the supposition that it was not legally framed), he was outlawed. It was reported, too, that a guilty intercourse subsisted between him and the lady. Act- ing only upon this rumour, without ad- ducing any proof of his guilt, and notwith- standing the objections raised by the Senior Fellows to such an act of injustice, Bentley deprived him of his fellowship, on the 5th of April, 1708. Bishop Monk, in his life of the Master of Trinity, admits that "this proceeding is one of the clearest cases of malversation proved against him;" it is hardly possible, indeed, to exonerate him from the charge of being actuated by re- vengeful malice, when it is considered that Breval's father and Dr. Bentley had had a violent quarrel in Convocation; and that Bentley replied to the suggestion of the Fellows, that an action might lie against the college if Breval was unjustly ex- pelled-by saying, that "his father was just dead, in poor circumstances, and all his family were beggars." Breval, some years afterwards, asserted upon oath his innocence of the adulterous intercourse imputed to him; and, speaking of Bentley's treatment of him, said, "Tantum non jugulavit.' ,, His expulsion having thrown him en- tirely upon his own resources, he served at H H 234 A.D. 1698.

He was pecu- liarly fitted for such a task, from his great abilities and learning, and likewise from the extraordinary facility of acquiring lan- guages with which he was gifted, and through which he made himself master of the German and French tongues. When the war was ended, he travelled over al- most the whole of Europe with Lord Malpas; and, on his return, established his fame in London as a literary character, by the production of many works. The first of the two volumes of travels, above alluded to, appeared in folio, with a dedication to Lord Malpas, in 1723, and the second in 1726; both were reprinted for Lintot in 1728. Two other volumes of his "Remarks on Foreign Countries," were published in 1738; both sets of travels. were published by subscription, and are adorned with valuable engravings and maps. In 1716, he published "The Hoop Petti- coat," a poem. In 1717, three other poems, The Art of Dress," "Calpe, or Gibraltar,' and "MacDermot, or the Irish Fortune Hunter." 66 Several of his plays were performed at the theatre. The Rape of Helen," a musical opera, appeared in 1737. A place is allotted him in the "Dunciad" (bk. ii. pp. 125 and 238), which he owed to a farce, called "The Confederates," he had published in 1717, under the assumed name of Joseph Gay. It contained a hu- morous caricature of "The Confederates," in derision of "Three Hours after Mar- riage," reputed to be a joint composition of Pope, Gay, and Arbuthnot. Pope's retort alludes to the fictitious name- 22 "Mears, Warner, Wilkins, run; delusive thought! Breval, Bond, Besaleel, the varlets caught. Curl stretches after Gay, but Gay is gone, He grasps an empty Joseph for a John: So Proteus humbled in a nobler shape, Became, when seiz'd, a puppy, or an ape." And again, line 237,- ""Twas chatt'ring, grinning, mouthing, jabb'ring all, And Noise and Norton, Brangling and Breval." Breval also published a "History of the House of Nassau (especially the Orange branch of it), in 1734." In the copy of this book in the British Museum, which belonged to Mr. Hargrave, is a note by that gentleman, which says that Mr. Breval's family were of French extraction, and had taken refuge in this country upon the re- vocation of the edict of Nantes; and that he was related to Mrs. Hargrave. In 1697, he was one of the Cambridge poets who celebrated King William's return after the peace in that year.

He died, May 29, at the age of 84, and was buried in St. Peter's in the East, Oxford, where there is a monument to his memory. His portrait is in the Common Room, and in the Hall, at Christ Church; and a bust of him by Roubillac, the gift of Dr. Hawley in 1757, is in the library belonging to that society. He contributed to the poetical lamenta- tions, published by the university, on the death of Prince George of Denmark, in 1708. E. Ivie (Election 1696), in his pre- face to Epictetus, makes a neat allusion to Dr. Frewin's medical skill, where, speaking of the assistance he had received in the execution of his work, from R. Mostyn, Esq., and R. Frewin, M.D., he says:- 66 Quorum alter Munificentiâ suâ ad ma- turandum hoc opus me excitavit; alter efficit ut per Valetudinem id possem ab- solvere."

It was a distinction to which he appears to have been in no way entitled, and it was in op- position to the statutes. He signed the petition against the Master in 1709, and was afterwards declared by him to be "the worst character that ever entered a col- lege." It has been said that a courtship, which was going on between young Stubbe (who was to have been his uncle's heir,) and a niece of Bentley's, influenced the Master in the selection of this worthless character. Bishop Monk asserts that he vacated his Fellowship by marrying an innkeeper's daughter, about 1712; but sometime before 1722, he was nominated by the College to the vicarage of Eaton Bray, Beds, and, in 1734, to that of Mars- worth, Bucks: he was alive, and in posses- sion of the latter preferment in 1754.- Cole's MSS., xlv. 244. 337. 360, 361; Cant.

He is described as a man of taste and learning. His person was so corpulent that, in 1741, he could not attend his duty as chaplain to the army, then in Flanders, as no horse could carry him!

BOYLE, M.P. for the county of Cork, 1715; Speaker of the House of on of the ? Commons, Ireland, from 1733 till he was created Earl of Shannon, 1756; died, 1764. [Lord Shannon for many years bore a conspicuous part in the Government of Ireland. He was the grandson of the first Earl of Cork and Orrery: his father, another Henry Boyle, was settled at Castlemartyr, in the county of Cork, had suffered in his estate from his attachment to Protestant in- terests in 1688, and had gained distinction under the Duke of Schomberg, at the battle of the Boyne. Our worthy was Mr. Boyle's second son, by the Lady Mary O'Brien, a daughter of Lord Inchiquin, but (his eldest brother having died unmarried) succeeded to the estate at Castlemartyr. He was sworn of the Privy Council, April 13, 1733, and, on the 19th of Novem- ber, made Chancellor of the Exchequer ; an office which he exchanged in November, 1735, for a Commissionership of Revenue, but resumed in 1739, and held until de- prived of it by the Administration of the Duke of Dorset, at the suggestion of Arch- bishop Stone (Election 1725), in 1754. Mr. Boyle's influence in the Irish House of Commons was so powerful that he was in reality the Governor of Ireland during many years; and Horace Walpole says that it had been, up to 1752, "the unvaried practice of the Lords-Lieutenant to court him, and to govern the House of Commons by his interest;" but upon the arrival of the Duke of Dorset, as Lord-Lieutenant, in 1751, the Speaker found a young antago- nist, of boundless ambition, in Archbishop Stone, who, with Lord George Sackville, ruled the Duke. A contest for power be- tween the Speaker and the Primate began, and lasted for several years. The Speaker (whose popularity throughout Ireland was so extensive that no one thought it of any use to contest a county, unless he was sure of the Speaker's support, if petitioned against,) did not quietly submit to be passed over, but raised an opposition against the new Administration, which ended in open 241 tumults in the theatres and streets of Dublin. The Speaker was idolized by the mob, under the nickname of "Roger," and it was not until 1754 that the Duke of Dorset prevailed upon the Government in England to sanction his removal from the Chancellorship of the Exchequer. After two more years of active opposition on his part, and several attempts on that of the Government to wean him from his hostility, a compromise was effected, but not until the Speaker had triumphed in the removal of the Duke of Dorset, and in the exclusion of the Primate from the Regency. He was reinstated in the post of Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1756, and a few days af- terwards created Baron of Castlemartyr, Viscount Boyle of Bandon, and Earl of Shannon, with a pension, to him and his representatives, for 31 years. He was appointed Governor of Cork during the ab- sence of the Duke of Devonshire. In 1758, Lord Shannon and the Primate were again joined in the same commission as Lords Justices; and, singularly enough, the former died in the execution of that office, at the age of 82, on the 24th of December, 1764, a very few days after the death of his more youthful competitor, whose career we shall have to set forth in the year 1725. He died at his house in Henrietta Street, Dublin, and was interred in Lord Cork's vault, in the choir of the Cathedral of St. Patrick. He was twice married, and by the second of his wives,- the Lady Henrietta Boyle, youngest daugh- ter of the third Earl of Cork,-left sons and daughters. He was nominated one of the Lords Justices in Ireland, for the first time, May 3, 1734, and was 15 times reappointed to fill that important office. The prominent quality in Lord Shannon's mind seems to have been that of sound sense. The fol- lowing passages are taken from the able sketch of his character drawn in Hardy's Life of Lord Charlemont: "The contest between Primate Stone and Mr. Boyle was merely for power; but in that contest Stone sought the aid of the Crown, and Boyle, who was a Whig, sought the aid of the People." And again, speaking of the negotiation which led to the withdrawal of Boyle's opposition to the Government, and which Lord Charlemont had a great hand in bringing to a conclusion, it is remarked, "Mr. Boyle had given (1755) much offence to Ministers, but they felt and acknowledged the superiority of his understanding. He was a Whig, allied to some of the first families of that connection; and tho' in a recent transaction (the Dublin Election) he had overstepped the limits of modera- tion, such flights were not common on his part, and it was with truth believed that in these instances he yielded to others, and felt his error, though too late. His peculiar sphere was the House of Commons, not as an orator, but a director." * * * "He was a warm and sincere friend, and an un- disguised enemy, so that he was for many years relied on by Ministers; for those of the most sound and comprehensive intellect preferred him to Stone, and thought that Ireland was far safer in his hands than in those of the Primate." He was a great benefactor to the Pro- testant school at Castlemartyr.-Walpole's Geo. II., i. 243-7.309-10. 319. 338-9.386-8, ii. 28-30. 280-1; Geo.

PARKYNS, youngest of the two sons of Sir Thomas Parkyns, of Bunney, Nottinghamshire, by Elizabeth, daughter of John Sampson, Esq., of Hewby, York- shire, Alderman of London. He died, aged 19, in 1706, and was buried on the 21st of September. His father, SIR THOMAS PARKYNS, was the son of another Thomas Parkyns (who was created a baronet in 1681, for the ser- vices of his father, Colonel Isham Parkyns, during the civil war), and a daughter of Thomas Cressey, Esq., of Berkyn, Yorkshire. He was educated at Westminster School;- in 1680, entered as a Fellow Commoner of Trinity College, Cambridge, where he re- mained two years and a half,-after that, admitted of Gray's Inn, and during eight years performed his mootings as a student there. We are told by Betham (Baronetage, iii. 43-5), from family information, that the "first thing he did after his father's death (being then come of age), willing to begin with God's house, he new roofed the chan- cel at Bunney, which is a very large one. ***.

The Prefatory Introduc- tion to it commences with an epigram from the fourth book of Martial, "De Rustica- tione," to which Sir Thomas adds the fol- lowing allusion to his boyish days, and the origin of his taste for gymnastic exercises: -"So soon as this Epigram of Martial's be- came my lesson, under Dr. Busby at West- minster School, and that I had truly con- strued, and exactly parced every word, as we did all our authors, that they might be the better understood, easier got memoriter, and without book, for our benefit," &c. And a little further on, he says, "The use and application of mathematicks here in wrest- ling I owe to Dr. Bathurst, my tutor (Election 1666), and to Sir Isaac Newton, Mathematick Professor, both of Trinity College, Cambridge; the latter invited me to his lectures, for which I thank him." He was skilled in architecture and hydraulics, was a good mathematician, and studied physic for the benefit of his neigh- bours. He was a Justice of the Peace for the counties of Leicester and Nottingham until his death, excepting for one month in James the Second's reign. He died, March 29, 1740-1, and was buried at Bunney. There is a conspicuous monument to him in the church: upon it, is a figure of him wrestling with Time, and the following epigram, the composition of Dr. R. Freind: "Quem modo stravisti longo in certamine tempus; Hic recubat Britonum clarus in orbe pugil: Jam primum stratus, præter te vicerat omnes; De te etiam victor, quando resurget erit." Per R. Freind, pr. Ludimagist. Schol. Westmonast. This monument had been prepared for Sir Thomas Parkyns during his lifetime; and he also gratified himself in the singular whim of having three stone coffins made, in order to choose one for himself; one of the rejected ones was, when Thoroton's History was published, yet in Bunney Church.-Cole's MSS., xlv. 331; Thoroton's Notts. i. 93; Gent.

He took the degree of M.A. in 1710, and became a member of Gray's Inn. The more correct designation of the office which he held is that of "Secretary to the Accounts of the Army:" he was appointed to it in Decem- ber, 1740, through the friendship of his old schoolfellow, Lord Granville. Sir R. Steele states, in the P.S. to No. 555 of the "Spec- tator," that he was not, when he first closed that periodical, aware that he was indebted to Mr. Ince for the contribution of " veral excellent sentiments and agreeable pieces." He died a student of Christ Church, October 11, 1758. se- 243 י. Mr. Ince had a great reputation for scholarship, and was deemed especially conversant with Greek. It is not known what papers he contributed to the "Spec. tator." He was intimate both with Addison and Steele; and he is reported to have been a frequenter of Tom's Coffee House, where his having written for the "Spectator' procured him great respect. He inherited a considerable estate from his brother (Election 1697), which he bequeathed among his friends and attendants.

A monument, giving a long account of his virtues, was erected to his memory in the Cathedral. His picture is in the Hall and Common Room at Christ Church, and also among the portraits in the head master of Westminster's dining room. It would not be just to his memory to omit the following testimony to his atten- tion to the religious instruction of his pupils; the testimony, too, be it remem- bered, of one, who, though he certainly had affectionate reminiscences of West- minster School, was no friend to public education-the poet Cowper-who says, in one of his letters,-"That I may do justice to the place of my education, I must relate one mark of religious discipline which, in my time, was observed at Westminster; I mean the pains which Dr. Nichols took to prepare us for confirmation. The old man acquitted himself of this duty like one who had a deep sense of its importance; and, I believe, most of us were struck by his manner, and affected by his exhorta- tions." A similar trait has been related of Dr. Busby, and it may be said with truth, that this important branch of religious in- struction has been of late years, and is now, as much attended to as it was then.

He lived at first in Covent Garden, but removed to Arlington Street. He died at Hampton Court (according to Dr. Stukeley's account, by his own hand), on the 8th of July, 1748. He was one of the physicians summoned down to Ingestre when Mr. Pulteney was taken dangerously ill there, and received 200 guineas for his fee on that occasion: and, at Lord Hervey's suggestion, was the first physician summoned to assist Dr. Tessier in Queen Caroline's last illness. A copy of Latin alcaic verses of his com- position appeared among the Oxford poems, on the death of Dr. Radcliffe, in 1715; and an ode to him on his birthday, by M.

WELSTEAD, a dramatic writer and poet; clerk in the Office of Ordnance at the Tower; died [1746-7]. [This minor poet was the son of the Rev. L. Welstead (of whom an account has al- ready been given under Election 1667), and born at his father's living, of Abington, where he was baptized, June 3, 1688; his mother was Anne, second daughter of Tho- mas Staveley, Esq., a celebrated lawyer and antiquary. According to Bishop War- burton, in one of his notes on the Dunciad, he studied at both universities, having re- moved from Cambridge to Oxford; but his name does not appear in the published List of Graduates of either university. From Oxford he removed to London, where, by the friendship of LORD CLARE, who had been his schoolfellow at Westminster, he was appointed to a good place in the Secretary of State's office, and commenced his labors as an author both in prose and verse; one of the earliest specimens of the latter cele- brates the elevation of Lord Clare to the Dukedom of Newcastle, which took place in 1715; he also dedicated to the Duke, in 1724, a volume of Epistles and Odes, and a translation of Longinus; the latter, on its 249 first appearance, in 1712, had been dedi- cated to Bishop Trelawny (Election 1668). In 1718 appeared "The Triumvirate," or a letter from Palemon to Celia from Bath, a satire on Pope, for which the great satirist took ample vengeance, by giving him a conspicuous place in the Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot, in the Art of Sinking, and in the Dunciad; the most celebrated lines are those in bk. iii., line 169, of the latter poem: "Flow, Welsted, flow! like thine inspirer, Beer, Tho' stale, not ripe; tho' thin, yet never clear; So sweetly mawkish, and so smoothly dull; Heady, not strong; o'erflowing, tho' not full." There is, however, the authority of the late Mr. Campbell, for saying that all Welstead's writings did not deserve this sweeping condemnation; and his "Genius, on the Duke of Marlborough's apoplectic attack, in 1717, was highly praised by Sir Richard Steele; it is also designated by Dr. Warton "an ode of merit." In 1726, Welstead published a comedy called the "Dissembled Wanton," but without much success. He also wrote (before he left, or at the time he was leaving, Westminster School) a popular little poem, called the "Apple Pie." His works were collected and published, with notes and memoirs, by Mr. John Nichols, in 1787; in these was contradicted Bishop Warburton's assertion, that Wel- stead had received 5007. from the Secret Service money, for writing anonymously for the Ministry. He is supposed to be alluded to in the following passage from the "Guardian," upon the Tall Club:-" We have a poet among us of a genius as exalted as his stature, and who is very well read in Longinus his Treatise on the Sublime." From 1718 to 1721 he was employed, to- gether with Ambrose Philips, Dr. Boulter (p. 30), Lord Chancellor West, of Ireland, the Rev. Gilbert Burnet, and the Rev. H. Stevens, in bringing out a periodical, en- titled "The Freethinker." He received his appointment to the Ordnance Office before 1725, and, in 1730, obtained promotion in it; in the following year, he received the additional appoint- ment of a Commissioner for managing the State Lottery, and held both places until his death, in 1746-7. He frequented the Temple Coffee House as a chess player, and was considered a great adept in that game.-Cole's MSS., xlv. 339; Noble's Contn. of Granger, i. 390; Warton's Pope, v. 152. 197-8; Campbell's Specimens of British Poets; Watt's Bib.

[Dr. Pearce was the son of a distiller in Holborn, whose successful pursuit of his trade had enabled him to purchase an estate at Little Ealing, upon which his son fre- (૮ ; quently resided after his father's death. He was born September 8, 1690. His abilities, coupled as they were with great industry, won for him an increasing reputation for scholarship as well at Westminster, as after his removal to Cambridge. At the time when he was eligible for a fellowship Bentley had begun his reforms, and was deep in his contest with Serjeant Miller; and an instance of the violence of the Doctor's proceedings is given in the follow- ing words by his biographer, which are quoted, not only for their bearing on the subject of the present notice, but also as giving a singular proof of the remarkable manner in which old Westminsters clung together in after life, a feeling which, it is to be hoped, is far from extinguished now, and still may to one of the most preserve, useful and illustrious foundations in the kingdom, that position which it has hitherto occupied :-"He (Dr. B.) next sent for Zachary Pearce, one of the aspirants (to the vacant fellowship), and suggested that he, being a Westminster scholar, might bring a body of students educated at that school, among whom a great esprit de corps existed, to block out the Serjeant by manual force." Pearce, however, had no need to secure his election by such means. In this year he had published an excellent edition of "Cicero de Oratore," and, being in doubt to whom it should be dedicated, accepted the offer of a friend to obtain the permis- sion of LORD MACCLESFIELD (then Lord Parker and Lord Chief Justice), that it might be dedicated to him; the Chief Justice (himself a Westminster man) gave his consent, and spoke to Dr. Bentley in favor of the young scholar. The result was, as Bishop Monk states it, that "three excellent scholars were chosen-Leonard Thomson, Zachary Pearce, and John Walker.' "" He was ordained deacon in 1717, and soon discovered that his Cicero had been advantageously dedicated: he accepted the post of chaplain to his patron (who had now become Lord Chancellor), and in that capacity lived for three years in his Lord- ship's house. The Lord Chancellor nomi- nated Pearce to the rectory of St. Bartho- lomew, behind the Royal Exchange, and announced to him that it was in fulfilment of a promise to Dr. Bentley of making a vacancy in his fellowship so soon as an opportunity occurred. He was admitted to the living, March 10, 1719-20; and, the year before, the King had presented him to the rectory of Stapleford Abbotts, Essex, which he resigned in 1722. It was about this time that the Duke of NEWCASTLE, meeting him at dinner at the Chancellor's, 254 recognised him as having been a fellow- student both at Westminster and at Cam- bridge, and obtained for him the appoint- ment of King's chaplain. In 1723, Lord Macclesfield claimed the presentation to the living of St. Martin-in- the-Fields, and Pearce was inducted in the vicarage, Jan. 10, 1723-4. At Lord Mac- clesfield's suggestion the Lambeth degree of D.D. was conferred on him, as he had rejected his Lordship's offer of obtaining that degree at Cambridge by royal man- date, as a course disliked by the University. One of his first duties upon entering upon his new living was the restoration of the church; and from the conferences with Mr. PULTENEY, who also on this occasion claimed his acquaintance as an old Westminster, resulted an intimate friendship, which con- tinued uninterrupted until the death of that celebrated politician. In 1732, Dr. Pearce lost his friend and patron, Lord Macclesfield, whose dying mo- ments he and Sir Thomas Clarke (Election 1721) attended. Queen Caroline now took notice of him, and held theological conversations with him at the Drawing Rooms; and, it was in compliance with a personal request made by her, shortly before her death, to Sir Robert Walpole, that he was made Dean of Winchester, August 4, 1739. Pulteney, too, had requested Sir Robert that his friend- ship for Pearce might not stand in the way of the promotion of a deserving clergyman. Dr. Pearce was now looked upon by all but himself as the fittest person for any bishoprick which might fall vacant, and he was sounded by Archbishop Potter, but expressed his intention of refusing such a dignity. Accordingly, on the translation of Dr. Hutton to York, he did refuse, more than once, the see of Bangor, and accepted it only at the urgent request of Lord Hardwicke and Sir Thomas Clarke, the for- mer asking him how Ministers could pos- sibly make proper appointments if those best fitted for them refused to accept them. He was consecrated, February 21, 1748. In 1755, when he succeeded to his father's property at Ealing, he made an attempt to resign this bishoprick, but was not allowed to do so. The same difficulty occurred when he was translated to Rochester; and he twice refused the bishoprick of London, in which diocese he had for many years done Dr. Sherlock's duties. In 1763, he had well nigh succeeded in resigning the see of Rochester, and had actually kissed the King's hand on that event, but the Ministers interfered to prevent it. wished, indeed, to withdraw from labors which he felt were now beyond his strength, He but when that wish could not be accom- plished, he was equally strict in performing the important functions of his office, and only a short time before his death he con- firmed 700 persons at Greenwich. He closed a life of labor and piety at Little Ealing, on the 29th of June, 1774, in the 84th year of his age, having survived his wife (with whom he had lived in perfect happiness for 52 years) but a few months, and was buried in the same grave with her at Bromley. An inscription, of his own dictation, relating merely the dates of his preferments, was put upon his monument at Bromley; but another monument was erected to his memory on the south side of Westminster Abbey. During the time that he enjoyed the deanery of Westminster he was called upon to officiate at the funerals of George the Second, and six others of the Royal Family, and at the coronation of George the Third. Besides the Cicero already alluded to (of which a fourth edition was published in 1771, and on the merits of which he re- ceived a highly complimentary letter from Olivet in 1739), the Bishop published se- veral other works on classical and theolo- gical subjects ;—an edition of "Cicero de Officiis," in 1745, which went into a second edition in 1761;-an edition of " Longinus," dedicated to the same patron as the "Cicero de Oratore," the first edition of which appeared in 1724, and the sixth in 1773; several single sermons, preached on special solemnities;-an Essay on the Origin of Temples, occasioned by the re- storation of St. Martin's. He was twice engaged in controversial discussions with Dr. Bentley: the first, in 1721, on the Doctor's "Proposals for a new edition of a Greek and Latin Testament;" on this ques- tion he published two Latin epistles, signed "Phileleutherus Londinensis," cha- racterized by Bishop Monk as "able, ju- dicious, and scholar-like" productions, in which the "learning is considerable, and well applied." The second occasion of his encountering so formidable an antagonist was on the publication of Bentley's edition of Milton, which gave rise to Pearce's de- servedly celebrated "Review of the Text of Paradise Lost: this was in 1732, about which time he was also engaged with Dr. Waterland in refuting Middleton's attacks upon revealed religion. In 1713, whilst yet a resident at Cambridge, he contributed to the Guardian the paper on the "Silent Club," No. 121; and two papers to the Spectator, Nos. 572 and 633, the one on "Quacks," the other on the "Superiority of Christian over Heathen Eloquence." He bequeathed to his chaplain, Mr. 255 A.D. 1711. Elected to Oxford. Paul Forester¹. George Wigan2. Samuel Wesley3. Elected to Cambridge. Stafford Price*. William Moss, F. Richard Stonehewer 6.

These, and other theolo- gical pieces, were accordingly given to the world after his death by Mr. Derby, in 1777, who prefixed to them a sketch of the Bishop's life, written for the most part by the Bishop himself. Bishop Newton (Elec- tion 1723), who was in habits of intimacy with Bishop Pearce, from their common friendship for Lord Bath, speaks of his character in terms of high praise, and with a grateful sense of the kindness shown to himself, when only a poor curate in London. Dr. Pearce was then vicar of St. Martin's, and exercised great hospitality towards the poorer clergy of the metropolis. Bishop Pearce is said to have been remarkably disinterested in the distribution of his pa- tronage, especially in his Welsh diocese, where he invariably presented Welshmen to the vacant preferments. He left 5000l. to the college, instituted at Bromley, for the widows of poor clergy- men; and, at his own expense, built a re- gistry for the records of the diocese of Rochester.record The Bishop was a Fellow of the Royal Society.

WESLEY, usher of Westminster School; master of Tiverton School, De- vonshire; author of a volume of poems; died, 1739. 256 [This able and accomplished scholar was the eldest of the three distinguished sons of the Rev. Samuel Wesley, rector of Wroote and Epworth, Lincolnshire, who grew to man's estate. He was born in 1692, eleven years before his celebrated brother John. He and his youngest bro- ther Charles were educated at Westminster; of the latter, mention will be made under the year 1726, when he was elected to Ox- ford. It is related of Samuel that he could not speak, and was therefore considered deficient in his understanding, until he was four years old, when on a sudden he began to talk, to the astonishment of those who heard him. Both at school and at the University he was remarkable for pro- ficiency in his classical studies, and was taken by Atterbury under his protection. He was usher of Westminster School for nearly 20 years, and a candidate for the under-mastership, probably when Dr. Nicoll was promoted to the head master- ship; but, notwithstanding Wesley's emi- nent qualifications for the office, it was refused to him, and the ludicrous reason assigned that he was a married man; the real cause being his attachment to his patron, Bishop Atterbury, whom he re- garded as his friend, and of whose inno- cence he was fully persuaded. It was about this time that he was appointed head- master of the free school at Tiverton, in which situation he remained until his death. His poems were first published in a quarto edition, in 1736. "Some account of his life, with a few poems," was published in 1743 among these pieces are two epi- logues. The first, "on one of Terence's plays, acted at the first annual meeting of Westminster Scholars." The other, spoken at the Westminster meeting, in 1732-3. The writer of the notice on his life de- scribes him as an "excellent preacher, but one whose best sermon was the constant example of an edifying life." He had the merit of being one of those who set on foot the first infirmary established in West- minster for the relief of the sick and needy, in the year 1719. Wesley became a member of the Spalding Society of Antiquaries in 1729, and pre- sented that body with a ring which was said to have touched the heads of the three Kings of Cologne. For his father, Wesley always entertained the most ardent affection, and evinced it by the struggles he made to relieve the poverty which beset the old age of his parent, attentions which were most ten- derly acknowledged by the old man in his letters to his son. To his brothers, too, notwithstanding the difference between his views on religious subjects and theirs, he was most deeply attached; and when John forced him into a discussion upon these subjects, it was conducted on his part with every sign of the love he bore his brother, and the admiration which he felt for his splendid talents; yet he affection- ately remonstrated with his brothers on the extravagance of their proceedings, which, as he too truly foretold, was rapidly leading, if not themselves, at least their followers, into the sin of schism. A breach ensued between John Wesley and his bro- ther's family, and hence the preservation of the correspondence by Samuel's daugh- ter. Samuel Wesley died, after an illness of only four hours, on the 6th of November, 1739, and was buried in St. George's churchyard, at Tiverton, where a stone was raised to his memory, and a long epitaph inscribed on it. The following beautiful description of his death, from the pen of his brother's biographer, the late Mr. Southey, seems to form a fitting conclusion to this short notice of his life:-"The state of mind which this good man enjoyed had nothing in common with the extravagant doctrine of assurance which his brothers were preaching with such vehemence during the ebullition of their enthusiasm ; it was the sure and certain hope of a sin- cere and humble Christian, who trusted in the merits of his Saviour and the mercy of his God. He died as he had lived, in that essential faith which has been common to all Christians in all ages; that faith wherein he had been trained up, which had been rooted in him by a sound education, and confirmed by diligent study, and by his own ripe judgment."-Oxford Grad.; Southey's Life of Wesley, i. 19-20. 250. 256. 292-5.430; Polwhele's Devonshire, ii. 355; Hist. of the Spalding Society, Bibl.

He was elected Member for Dover for the first time in 1718 (when Admiral Aylmer was made an Irish peer), and sat for that borough during the remainder of that and the two following parliaments. He represented Heydon from the beginning of the parliament of 1734 until his death, on the 29th of October, 9 1746. He voted against the measures of Sir Robert Walpole. He was appointed Master-keeper and Governor of St. Ka- tharine's, May 28, 1723. Mr. Berkeley married, late in life, Hen- rietta, widow of the ninth Earl of Suffolk, celebrated for her intimacy with George the Second. She was the daughter of Sir Henry Hobart, and consequently niece to Thomas Hobart (Election 1687). They were married about July, 1735, about nine months after her rupture with the King, and their union was the subject of much merriment among the courtiers of that day. Lord Hervey describes him as "an old lover of Mrs. Pulteney, neither young, handsome, healthy, nor rich." He seems to have been very gouty, but his age could not have ex- ceeded 42 at this time; and his sister, Lady Betty Germaine, in announcing the match to Dean Swift, July 12, 1735, says, "She is indeed four or five years older than he, and no more." Their letters to one another, and to their friends, show that much hap- piness resulted from their union.-Cole's MSS., xlv. 340; Cant. Grad.; Collins' Peer- age, iii. 662; Beatson's Parl.

Trelawny came out hither on. Saturday last with the Dean of Exeter, and spent his time at the great house (where I saw him) till Monday. Your Lordship will find him grown very much; and I am told" (he continues), "by good hands, that he is grown as much in his inside as his outside. He acted a part last week, in the play of 'Ignoramus,' extremely well, as those who were eye-witnesses of it assure me. I had the ill luck not to know of the thing till the day afterwards, and so was not myself one of his spectators and auditors, but 500 others were, and many of them people of very good quality.' . 6 29 Atterbury writes again a fortnight later: "I had written again to your Lordship on Saturday, but that I spent the evening in seeing Phormio' acted at the College Chamber; where, in good truth, my Lord, Mr. Trelawny played Antipho' extremely well, and some parts of the character he performed admirably. Your Lordship may depend upon it that, in what place soever he stands, he shall go first of the election to Oxford, and shall have all the assistance and advantages there, that it is possible for a Dean of Christ Church to give him." He became a Master of Arts in 1719; and, in May of the next year, was ap- pointed to the stall in Winchester Cathe- dral, vacant by the death of Mr. Sprat (Election 1697). He did not long enjoy this preferment, as he died on the 24th of August, 1721. His death vacated also the rectories of Cheriton and West Meon, Hants, to which his father had presented him, and upon the former of which he built the present rectory house, which was but just completed at the time of his death.

Thus much for his parentage; as regards himself, he took his Master's degree in 1720; and, in 1715, a poem of his was printed among the other Oxford produc- tions upon the death of Dr. Radcliffe, 1715; and two or three of his compositions are published in the Carmina Quadragesi- malia, the first in the first volume is among those ascribed to him.

In 1715, he contributed to the Oxford poems on the death of Dr. Radcliffe. His name appears in the list of candidates of the College of Physicians in 1731, and he was elected a Fellow in the following year. In 1736 he spoke the Harveian oration, and in 1739 succeeded Dr. Broxolme (Elec- tion 1704), as physician to the Prince of Wales. He practised at first at Oxford, and afterwards in London, where at first he lived in King's Arms Yard, Coleman Street. He enjoyed a great professional reputation, and died on the 27th of September, 1755. His father was William Lee, and Matthew was born in Northamptonshire; he acquired some property at Little Linford, Bucks; and in the church at that place (where his remains were interred) there is a long Latin epitaph, enlarging upon his professional skill, his love of literature, and his benefac- tions to Christ Church and Westminster; the latter consisted of exhibitions for the Westminster students, and of money left for the purpose of converting the old li- brary at Christ Church into rooms, and for building an anatomy school, besides 1407. a year for a reader in that science. The exhibitions for the Westminster students are 357. to each of those of the first year, beginning with the quarter in which they are elected to the Lady Day following. The residue is divided among the Westminster students who reside seven calendar months, and are not above eight years from their matriculation. This last payment, during the seven years preceding 1825, was 50%., due at Midsummer and Christmas. Dr. Lee's bust is in the library at Christ Church. Hist. and Antiq. iii. 456. 461; Oxf.

WELBOURNE, born in London; his father's name was Robert ;-M.A. 1720; -rector of Wendlebury, Oxon, 1730;-he was instituted, on the presentation of Mr. Willis (page 205), to the rectory of Bletch- ley, Bucks, March 15, 1741, to hold for Mr. Willis's son; but, disagreements arising between him and his patron, Mr. Wel- bourne soon resigned this cure; he re- mained, however, at Wendlebury, and was buried there on the 11th of October, 1764. He was a great benefactor to the latter 261 living, and by his exertions and his ma- nagement the church was rebuilt in his time. He was a native of London, and his father bore the same names as himself. *** To these particulars may be added some interesting ones related by Mr. Jones, of Nayland, in his life of Bishop Horne. Mr. Welbourne was the intimate friend both of that prelate and of Mr. Jones; the Bishop was wont jocularly to call him Robertus Wendelburiensis, the jest being appro- priate, from "the monastic spirit of the single life" of the rector of Wendlebury, and "his attachment to the study of an- tiquity;" Mr. Jones continues, "He was a scholar of the polite class, and a deep and skilful student of the Scripture; * wrote well in English, and in Latin, and composed several learned works." A letter of his to Mr. Jones, written but a few weeks before his death, is given in the Appendix to Bishop Horne's Life, and also one from the Bishop, describing the end of this good man." He had a collection of Greek and Roman coins: the copper ones he be- queathed to Christ Church, and the gold and silver ones to Mr. Gilpin (Election 1728), with whom, as well as with Dr. Frewin (Election 1698) and Sir William Dolben (Election 1744), he lived on terms of great intimacy.-Westm.

In the indenture of his admission into college, he is said to have been the son of William Prior, and born in London; and in the entry of his admission into Trinity College, he is called a Hertfordshire person. This youth's election was the occasion of a quarrel between Lord Bolingbroke and Dr. Bentley, the circumstances of which are thus related by the former, in a letter to Mat. Prior, of July 4, 1713:-"I am unfortunate in all my negotiations; at least in those at home. At the last election at Westminster I endeavoured to have sent a very pretty lad, who wears your name, and therefore was entitled to my very best services, to Christ Church, but Bentley, pro solitá humanitate sud, leaped over eight boys to make this youth his first option, and remained, with all the good breeding of a pedant, inflexible." Prior's reply, on the 13th (24th), gives but little information respecting the youth; it is in these words:"I am obliged to you very particularly for your care of my friend. Prior. I cannot imagine how you came to know that snudging boy, for his mother is very homely. Bentley will always be an ill-bred pedant: can the leopard change his skin? I hope you may never have anything more essential to trouble you, than the disappointment of the boy's going to Trinity. I think I shall always have interest enough at Cambridge to make his stay there easy; and if he has the con- tinuance of your patronage, I think, too, matters cannot go so ill but that in four years we may set him afloat in the world." These expressions seem to have given rise to Bishop Monk's supposition that this youth was Mat. Prior's natural son, a sup- position apparently refuted by the entries quoted at the beginning of this notice. The only additional trace of Robert Prior's career is, that he was elected a scholar of Trinity in 1714, for, notwith- standing the latter part of his relative's letter, he is not mentioned in the list of Cambridge Graduates, and the Oxford Ca- talogue has been searched in vain for his has been name. These extracts are curious as showing the interest then taken by those in power, even when they had not been educated at the school, in the elections of the Queen's scholars. Bishop Monk's solution of the object of the Master of Trinity, in thus affronting the Secretary of State, is probably correct, -that the shaft was directed more against Atterbury, who was just exchanging his deanery of Christ Church for the bishoprick of Rochester and the deanery of West- minster, than against Lord Bolingbroke; but he may not have been sorry to have had the opportunity of disobliging any friend of the Boyle party.-Cole's MSS., xlv. 341; Monk's Life of Bentley, i. 353; Boling- broke's Corresp. iv. 183-4. 199.] 9 [R.

These facts appear from the West- minster Indentures, and from the Admis- sions to Trinity College in Cole's MSS., and an alteration has accordingly been made in his age in the Admissions of 1710. It seems clear, therefore, notwithstand- ing a year's difference in the date of his age here and on his monument, that he must have been the second son of Sir Thos. Brooke, of Norton, bart., and his mother, a Miss Wilbraham, of Townsend. He was rector of St. Mary-on-the-hill, Chester, from 1731 to 1744, and likewise rector of Walton, Lancashire. He died, August 17, 1757, at the age of 64, having been 37 years in holy orders, and lies buried among his ancestors, at Runcorn, in the church of which place there is a monument to him, with a long epitaph, concluding with six English verses. -Cole's MSS., xlv. 341; Cant.

Kensington (Election 1658), and probably Some verses of his occur among the aca- demical lamentations on the deaths of Queen Anne, in 1714, and of Dr. Radcliffe, in 1715; besides which, he wrote the lines on the death of Dean Aldrich (Election 1661), which are published as V. Bourne's, in the edition of the latter's poems, 1772; and four, at least, of the exercises in the Carmina Quadragesimalia (i. 8. 57-8. 62-3. 104-5) are ascribed to him. As early as 1718, he had published a translation of a treatise upon the cure of fevers, from the original of Longinus. His edition of Aretæus was printed at the Clarendon, in 1723; Maittaire (Admissions 1682) com- piled the Index for it, at the request of Dr. Freind (Election 1695), who, it would seem, from Wigan's dedication of the book to him, defrayed great part of the expense; for Wigan says that it was "tuo hortatu inchoatam, tuâ ope absolutam." When the famous Dr. Herman Boerhaave, of Leyden, published his edition of Aretaus, in 1735, he availed himself of the labors both of Wigan and Maittaire, and in his dedication made the following acknowledgment to the former :-" Addidi dein illa omnia quæ eximius Wigganus, summâ diligentiâ, suc- cessu felicissimo, illustrando Aretæo pro- tulerat pulcherrima ad literarum studia, artemque medicam, solâ exceptâ versione, quam elaboravit optimam quia jamdudum 263 fuerat absoluta impressio textûs nostræ editionis priusquàm prodiret Wigganiana." Dr. Wigan's share in editing Dr. Freind's works has already been alluded to (p. 226); but, besides writing the life of Freind, he prefixed to the edition of 1732 a long alcaic ode, dated July 15, 1727, which he had composed on Freind's appointment as phy- sician to the Queen. Wigan graduated M.A. in 1720, and ac- cumulated the degrees of M.B. and M.D. July 7, 1727. He was admitted Principal of New Inn Hall, Oxford, October 5, 1726, and was secretary to the Earl of Arran, the Chancellor of the University. He became a candidate of the College of Physicians with Dr. Lee (see preceding Election) in 1731, was chosen a Fellow in 1732, and in that year resigned the post of Principal of New Inn Hall, and lived in Craig's Court. In 1738, he accompanied his friend, Mr. Trelawny (Election 1717), to Jamaica, in the double capacity of physician and secretary, and died there, as related above, at the age of 44, on the 5th of December, 1739.-Westm.

BOURNE, usher of Westminster School; an elegant Latin poet. [Born in Westminster; the son of an Andrew Bourne ;-B.A. 1717;-chosen Fel- low of his college, 1720;-M.A. 1721. From "a distrust of his own sufficiency" for so important a charge-as he modestly ex- plains to his wife, in a letter written a few weeks before his death-he never entered into holy orders, although he is said to have had great temptations held out to him in the way of preferment. In a bio- graphical sketch of his life, by Mr. Mitford, prefixed to Mr. Pickering's last collection of his poems, he is said to have been ap- pointed Housekeeper, and Deputy Serjeant- at-Arms to the House of Commons, in No- vember, 1734, and to have had a son, a lieutenant of marines, sent to India by the Government. To this son he bequeathed, after his mother's death, a farm, near Bun- gay, in Suffolk: it is also mentioned that he died possessed of a house, which he had built, in Westminster. He died, December 2, 1747, leaving behind him poems which still afford delight to the lovers of classical poetry. Such are the slender materials for the history of a poet who has been celebrated by Cowper and Beattie, and the author of the Essays of Elia, in terms of no ordinary praise. Cowper translated 20 of Bourne's poems into English, and his allusions to his old tutor are so congenial to the subject of this work that it would be inexcusable not to give copious extracts from them here:- "I love (writes Cowper to the Rev. W. Unwin) the memory of Vinny Bourne. I think him a better Latin poet than Tibul- lus, Propertius, Ausonius, or any of the writers in his way, except Ovid, and not at all inferior to him. I love him, too, with a love of partiality, because he was usher of the fifth form at Westminster when I passed through it." * ***"It is not common to meet with an author who can make you smile, and yet at nobody's ex- pense; who is always entertaining, and yet always harmless; and who, though always elegant, and classical to a degree not always found even in the classics themselves, charms more by the simplicity and play- fulness of his ideas than by the neatness and purity of his verse: yet such was poor Vinny. I remember seeing the DUKE OF RICHMOND set fire to his greasy locks, and box his ears to put it out again." And again, writing to Mr. Rose, Cowper says, "I shall have great pleasure in taking now and then a peep at my old friend Vincent Bourne; the neatest of all men in his ver- sification, though, when I was under his ushership at Westminster, the most slo- venly in his person. He was so inattentive to his boys, and so indifferent whether they brought him good or bad exercises, or none at all, that he seemed determined, as he was the best, so he would be the last, Latin poet of the Westminster line; a plot which, I believe, he executed very success- fully; for I have not heard of any who has at all deserved to be compared with him." Even in the time of his last illness we find that Cowper's dreary thoughts were, for the moment, charmed away by the poems of his "old favorite, Vincent Bourne." But lest this should be deemed too partial testimony, hear Dr. Beattie, who remarks, in his Essay on the Utility of Classical Learning, "Those foreigners must entertain a high opinion of our pastoral poetry who have seen the Latin translations of Vincent Bourne, particularly those of the ballads of Tweedside,' William and Margaret,' and Rowe's 'Despairing beside a clear Stream,' of which it is no compliment to say that in sweetness of numbers and ele- gant expressions they are equal to the ori- ginals, and scarcely inferior to anything in Ovid or Tibullus.' 6 He began his publications as early as 1721, when he published "Carmina Comi- tialia Cantabrigiensia." In 1726, another collection of poems appeared, dedicated to Lord Abergavenny; then, in 1724, his "Poemata Latinè partim reddita, partim scripta," dedicated to the Duke of New- castle. A second edition of this was pub- lished in 1735, a third in 1743, a fourth in 1750, a fifth in 1764, a sixth in 1772; but in this last were inserted many poems which were not Bourne's; there was also a seventh edition in 1808, and an eighth in 1825. It was on the appearance of this, which followed the text of the edition of 1772, that Archdeacon Nares, on the autho- rity of Dr. Lloyd (Election 1722) and Dean Vincent, singled out many of the poems 265 which had been erroneously ascribed to Vincent Bourne. Mr. Pickering's edition ap- peared in 1840. This notice cannot be better closed than by a reference to one of Bourne's prologues to the "Andria," a reference not inappropriate, considering the attempt, which was made not long since to deprive the school of a most ancient and useful custom, an innocent and classical recreation, and one enjoined upon her guardians by the statutes of her great foundress. It was pointed out to those who took some pains in organizing the memorial to the Dean in favor of the Play, by an old Westminster, an accurate scholar, of refined taste in all matters of literature, one himself a poet, and who would have been the last to sanc- tion any custom having a tendency to im- morality, the late E. B. Impey, Esq. (Elec- tion 1799.) The prologue is the one which begins- "Ut vitam inspicerent hominum, propiusq. tuendo Formarent mores Graia juventa suos; Quod deforme fuit vitii, comoedia prisca Corâm spectandum, nec sine felle, dedit." And in the course of it has two lines which might be applied to V. Bourne's own com- positions:- CL Simplicitas eadem est scribendi, eademq. ve- nustas; Casti sunt omnes ingenuique sales."

[The third son of the Bishop (Elections 1668 and 1713); re-elected for West Looe, when appointed to the Victualling Office, and again in the Parliament of 1728; but he vacated that seat on being made a com- missioner of the Customs. At the general election, at the close of 1734, his influence in Cornwall procured his election for both West Looe and East Looe, but he was de- clared incapable of sitting for either place, as he still held his office in the Customs. On the 21st of February, 1727, he spoke in favor of the ministers, on the motion of Mr. Pulteney, for an address to the King, beseeching his Majesty to lay beforeth e House "an account of the 125,000l., said to have been expended for securing the trade of this kingdom;" but, in 1729, he voted against Sir Robert Walpole, on Mr. Scrope's motion, for granting to the King 115,000l. on account of arrears of the Civil List Revenues; and again, in 1730, against the grant of money for taking Hessian troops into the pay of Great Britain. Mr. Trelawny was elected Mayor of Looe, 1732. In 1737, he married a Miss Crawford. He filled the office of Governor of Jamaica with great reputation, and during the time he held it was engaged in two military ex- peditions: the first in 1742, upon which he embarked with Admiral Vernon and Sir Chaloner Ogle, but differences arising be- tween him and them, he returned in dis- gust; the second expedition was that com- manded by Admiral Knowles, in 1748, which was more successful, and ended in the capture of Hispaniola. In 1742, Tre- lawny was appointed colonel of a newly- raised regiment of foot. He died, January 16, 1754, and in the record of his death, in the Gentleman's Magazine, it is added, that "he was a brave officer, an excellent governor, and behaved well in every rela- tion of life."

This was the oration for the unlicensed printing of which Curll received his well-known castigation from the Westminster boys: the circumstances of the punishment are thus related in a letter circulated at the time :- "King's College, Westminster, Aug. 3, 1716. "Sir,-You are desired to acquaint the publick, that a certain bookseller, near Temple Bar (not taking warning by the frequent drubs that he has undergone for his often pirating other men's co- pies), did lately (without the consent of Mr. John. Barber, present captain of Westminster School), publish the scraps of a funeral oration, spoken by him over the corpse of the Rev. Dr. South, and being on Thursday last fortunately nabbed within the limits of Dean's Yard by the King's scholars, there he met with a college salutation: for he was first presented with the ceremony of the blanket, 270 in which, when the skeleton had been well shook, he was carried in triumph to the school; and, after receiving a grammatical correction for his false concords, he was re-conducted to Dean's Yard, and on his knees, asking pardon of the aforesaid Mr. Barber for his offence, he was kicked out of the yard, and left to the huzzas of the rabble. "I am, Sir, yours, &c. "T. A." This summary act of vengeance was also made the subject of one of the Carmina Quadragesimalia (i. 118-19), and a print was engraved, in three compartments, re- presenting the three separate punishments which Curll underwent. Under the en- graving, a copy of which was kindly shown to the editor by the Right. Hon. Charles Williams Wynn, are the lines :- "Ibis ab excusso missus ad astra Sago, Ethereas, lascive, cupis volitare per Auras; I, fuge, sed poteras tutior esse domi."

In January, 1738-9, he was presented to the vicarage of St. Bride's, London, of which he remained vicar until his translation to Londonderry. He resigned his stall at Westminster on being nominated to the deanery of Rochester, to which he was gazetted April 26, 1743. He gave up most of his other preferments on his promotion to Raphoe; he was appointed to that see, May 14, 1744, and translated to that of Londonderry, March 3, 1747. He died in Great Queen Street, West- minster, Jan. 10, 1768, aged 72, and was buried in the north aisle of Westminster Abbey, where a neat tablet records his virtues and dignities.

Mr. Cole seems to have disliked him ex- ceedingly, and has related circumstances in his conduct which would show him to have been a person of very unamiable character and rude manners: he says, "he was universally disesteemed, to call it by no harsher name." Perhaps some allowance should be made for this account, as he clearly was a person who thought very oppositely to Cole on all subjects, especially politics. Cole says that he courted the Yorkes very much. He laid out a great deal of money in the fitting up the Lodge at Christ's College. He wrote one of the poems, printed at Cambridge in 1727, on the death of George the First and the accession of George the Second. Westm. Indentures; Cole's MSS., xx. 78, xlv. 270. 343; Cant.

HERVEY, son to the Earl of Bris- tol; cornet in Lord Mark Ker's regiment of dragoons; afterwards a divine, and 273 changed his name to ASTON by Act of Par- liament. [Born, January 5, 1700, the fourth son of John Lord Bristol, who was created an earl in 1714, and Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Thomas Felton, comptroller of Queen Anne's household. In 1730, he married Catherine, eldest daughter of Sir Thomas Aston, of Aston, to whom her brother, Sir Thomas Aston, at his death, in 1744, be- queathed the family estate. He was rector of Shottely, Suffolk, and died, Nov. 16, 1748. There is in print a sermon of his, preached before the Sons of the Clergy, in 1745. His acquaintance with Johnson ori- ginated in his being quartered at Lichfield, when an officer in the army: he afterwards opened his house to Johnson in London. Johnson was mindful of this kindness to the close of his life, when he said to Boswell, "He was a vicious man, but very kind to me: if you call a dog Hervey I shall love it." He is supposed to have been scarcely sane: Lady Betty Germaine, writing to Lady Suffolk, says, "Worthless Hervey Aston is dead, which may be a means to save his son and three daughters from entire beg- gary."-West. Indentures; Harleian MSS., 7025, 162; Collins' Peerage, iv. 152; Be- tham's Baronetage, i. 344-5; Gent. Mag. xviii. 525. Hervey Aston's elder brother, the cele- brated JOHN Lord HERVEY, second son of Lord Bristol, was educated at Westminster School;-removed to Clare Hall, Cam- bridge, November 20, 1713;-and gra- duated M.A. 1715. He travelled when his university career was ended, and, on his return home, became a great favorite with the Prince and Princess of Wales. He succeeded to the courtesy title of Lord Hervey on the death of his elder brother, November 15, 1723, and, March 25, was chosen M.P. for Bury. He was appointed vice-chamberlain to the King, May 7, 1730, and, in April, 1740, promoted to be Lord Privy Seal, from which office he was ousted by Lord Gower, on the 12th of July, 1741. He died on the 8th of August, 1743. The influence he acquired over Queen Caroline, his great abilities, and numerous accom- plishments, are incontestibly proved by his Memoirs of the Court of George the Second, which have been recently published: from the preface to them the facts here given have been taken.] 5 W. TITLEY, envoy to the court of Denmark; he left 1000l. to Westminster school; 1000l. to the University of Cam- bridge; and 1000l. to Trinity College, Cam- bridge; died, 1768. [This worthy was distinguished at school by Bishop Atterbury, and was selected by the Bishop to act as "help" to his son Osborn (Election 1722), and after Titley left school, he seems still to have acted as instructor to his "man," for he was in the house in that capacity at the time of the Bishop's arrest, in 1722. B.A. 1722;-M.A. 1726. It is related by Bishop Newton that Titley, in his early youth, drew out a plan for his future life, which circumstances enabled him to ad- here to, with only one deviation, through- out its course. His scheme was to remain at college until he was about thirty years old; for the next thirty years to be em- ployed in the public service; and at sixty to retire to his college, and reside on his fellowship for the remainder of his days. He began public life as secretary to the embassy at Turin; he went thence to Copenhagen, where he was left chargé d'affaires during the absence of Lord Glenorchy, January 3, 1728-9, and on the 3rd of November, 1730, was appointed his Majesty's resident at that court. In 1733 he was nominated by Dr. Bentley to the Physic-fellowship in Trinity College. He re- signed his post at Copenhagen, but having passed so many years in that capital he was unwilling to quit it, and, in the words of the prelate above quoted, "lived and died there greatly respected and lamented by all ranks of people." He gave to the world several little poetical pieces; some of his Latin compo- sitions are to be found in the "Reliquiæ Galeanæ;" but the production of his which is best known is the imitation of Horace, bk. iv. ode 2, said to have been written for a college exercise. These verses so struck the fancy of Dr. Bentley that he wrote a parody upon them, which has been much admired. One of the poems, attributed to Vincent Bourne, in the edition of 1772, of the works of the latter, is said to be by Titley: it is called the "Laterna Mega- lographica," and was written in 1721. He was a Staffordshire person, and his father's Christian name was Abraham.- -Westm. Indentures; Cole's MSS., xlv. 245. 343; Cant.

BELL, a diligent and learned anti- quary. [The son of Beaupré Bell, Esq., of Beaupré Hall, near Outwell, Norfolk, and Margaret, daughter and heiress of Sir Anthony Old- field, bart., of Spalding, co. Lincoln;-ad- mitted a pensioner of Trinity College, Cambridge, 1722;-chosen scholar in the following year;-B.A. 1725;-M.A. 1729. His father must have been a strange man, for he dealt most penuriously by his son, whom he would not permit to continue his studies at Cambridge, scarcely allowed him food and clothing, and let his own house fall into decay, whilst he kept 500 horses, many of them 30 years old, and unbroken. Our antiquary succeeded to the property, near Outwell, worth about 15007. a year, on his father's decease. He had early ad- dicted himself to antiquarian researches, was especially conversant on the subject of ancient coins, and contributed much in- formation on those interesting relics of Greece and Rome to the Spalding Society of Antiquaries, of which he was chosen a member, October 20, 1726: in 1740, that society held its meetings in his house at Stamford. In 1745, he became a member of another association of the same sort, founded by Dr. Stukely, and called the Brase- nose Society of Stamford. He was never married, and, dying on his road to Bath, in August, 1745, was buried in the family vault in St. Mary's Chapel, Outwell. Mr. Bell does not appear to have com- mitted to the press any of the results of his labors, although, in 1734, he had pub- lished proposals for a work, to be called "Tabulæ Augustæ," &c., and to consist of a chronological account of the Roman em- perors, drawn from historical coins and monuments. This work was to have been printed at the Cambridge University Press, and was already in a state of some for- wardness when death overtook the author. He had likewise made considerable collec- tions of church notes from his own county and the neighbouring counties. He be- queathed all his MSS., his books, and me- dals, to Trinity College. Dr. Stukely, the antiquarian, speaks of Mr. Bell as a person "of a most excellent knowledge in medals, whose immature death is a real loss to that part of learning;" and Mr. Blomefield, in the preface (p. xv.) to his History of Nor- folk, acknowledges himself under great obligations to him for assistance in his labors.

CLARKE, King's counsel; Master of the Rolls [and knighted, May 25], 1754; and privy councillor. [The son of a carpenter, in St. Giles's parish, London, whose wife kept a pawn- broker's shop. Bishop Newton, his contem- porary at school, says that the boys had a notion that he was a natural son of Lord Macclesfield; but the fact is, that he was introduced to Lord Macclesfield by Dr. Pearce (Election 1710), who had been 99 ووو applied to by Lord Macclesfield, to recom- mend a person fit to collate an original copy of the "Fleta," with Selden's edition. Clarke had left Cambridge, and was prac- tising at one of the inns of court; Dr. Pearce took him to Kensington to dine with Lord Macclesfield, who was much pleased with him, and it was settled that Clarke's next vacation should be spent at Lord Macclesfield's seat, in Oxfordshire. "In this manner," says Bishop Newton, "their acquaintance began, and this gave rise to Mr. Clarke's edition of Fleta." Lord Macclesfield warmly recommended his young protegé to Sir Philip Yorke, and, with two such powerful patrons, Clarke was not long in rising to eminence in his profession: he became a King's counsel in January, 1740;—was elected M.P. for Lost- withiel, Cornwall, 1754;- re-elected in December of the same year, having va- cated his seat by his acceptance of the Mastership of the Rolls, and sat for that place during the remainder of that Parlia- ment. Sir Thomas Clarke declined the seals, and told his friends the only thing that could make it agreeable to him would be the power of providing for so many worthy clergymen. to He died on the 13th of November, 1764, and bequeathed 30,000l. to St. Luke's Hos- pital: this bequest was suggested, in his hearing, by Bishop Newton to Lord Bath, as a good manner of disposing of the Brad- ford estate, to which that nobleman had unexpectedly succeeded. Sir Thomas left the remainder of his property to Lord Macclesfield, grandson of the first Lord, to whose assistance he had been so greatly indebted for his success in his profession.

Indentures; Nichols' Lei- cestershire, ii. 602.] * [On the 24th of April, 1722, being Westminster Election Tuesday, the first stone of the New Dormitory was laid. The following inscription was engraved thereon: 277 "Posuit felicibus (faxit Deus) Auspiciis Ricardus Comes de Burlington, architectus, 7 kal Maii, 1722." (Admissions 1668.) The old dormitory stood in Great Dean's Yard. It was built about the year 1380, for a granary, and used as such during the times of the abbots of Westminster. About the beginning of the eighteenth century, it was found to be in such a dilapidated con- dition as to require rebuilding; yet the stone arches upon which it was erected were in excellent preservation, and capable of bearing any new structure that might be placed upon it. It is probable that its restoration had been in contemplation very early in the century, for Sir E. Hannes (Elec- tion 1682), by his will, which was dated May 8, 1708, bequeathed 1000l. towards the "dormitory or some other building at Westminster." The matter, however, seems to have slept until Atterbury was appointed dean. He drew up a memorial to the King, December 8, 1718, in the name of himself and the chapter, which alluded to Hannes' legacy, stated the estimate of the sum required to exceed 5000l., and prayed for assistance from the royal bounty. The memorial was successful, but discussions arose as to the proper site; Atterbury, and four prebendaries, contending for the re- moval of the building to the western side of College Garden, whilst five prebendaries, and Dr. Freind, were for its being rebuilt upon the old foundations. The question was not settled without a law-suit, which resulted in a decree of the House of Lords in favor of Atterbury's plan, May 18, 1721. Lord Burlington designed the plan, and surveyed the building, which still remains, though its beauty has been considerably marred by the recent alterations, by which the arcade has been filled up, and con- verted into sitting rooms. This is the more to be regretted, as, if the old building had been continued at right angles, the sitting rooms would have been much more airy and wholesome than the present ones, so near to the ground, can be. The only known contributions to the building were from King George I., 1000l.; the Prince of Wales, 500Z.; Sir E. Hannes' bequest, 10007.; interest thereon, 3007.; W. Morice, Esq. (See Admissions 1705), 5007.; grant from Parliament, 12007. Total, 47007. But there must have been others; for it appears, from a note to one of S. Wesley's epilogues, spoken at the Westminster meeting in 1731-2, that that occasion was considered a proper one to obtain subscriptions for the object in view. The new dormitory was finished in 1732, for W. Ellis (Election 1732) is said to have slept in both the dormitories.-MS. note to the late Dr. Smith's and Dr. Nares' Lists of Scholars; Widmore, 168-9. 218-19; Atterbury's Cor- resp. ii. 114-15. RICHARD (Boyle), Earl of BURLINGTON, in England, and of CORK, in Ireland, was son of Charles, Lord Clifford of Lanesborough,- who succeeded his father, as Earl of Bur- lington, in 1697-8,-and Juliana, daughter and heiress of Henry Noel, second son of Viscount Campden. He was born, April 25, 1695, and succeeded to the family title and estates in 1703-4. He was installed Knight of the Garter, June 18, 1730;- appointed captain of the band of gentlemen pensioners, a post which he resigned in 1733, and retired to his celebrated gardens at Chiswick. He died at that residence, December 3, 1753, and was buried at Lanes- borough. It was to this nobleman, so famous for his numerous accomplishments, and correct taste, that Pope's fourth Moral Essay was dedicated; two lines of which (175-6) are very applicable to the present subject: "Who then shall grace, or who improve the soil? Who plants like Bathurst, or who builds like BOYLE?" H. Walpole, too, in his Anecdotes of Painting, bears testimony to Lord Burling- ton's abilities, and good qualities: "Never was protection and great wealth more ge- nerously and judiciously diffused than by this great person, who had every quality of a genius and artist, except envy."-War- ton's Pope; Collins' Peerage, vii. 170-2.] 10. ATTERBURY, son of the Bishop of Rochester [Election 1680]; rector of Ox- hill, Warwickshire, 1746. [A letter from the Bishop, written soon after his son's election to Oxford, expresses great pleasure at Osborn's progress in com- position, and also at the dutiful style of his letters. Osborn, however, afterwards of- fended his father, fell into great pecu- niary difficulties, and, from some cause or other, was forced to quit his studentship, about 1725. It would appear, from a passage in the Bishop's letter to Mr. Morice (Admis- sions 1705), Sept. 9-18, 1728, that he had been furnished by his father with money, to set up as a merchant, but that the money had been misapplied; and in a previous letter to Mrs. Morice, dated August 10-30, in the same year, the Bishop speaks of his son's "perverse nature and ill habits." In December, 1728, by the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Morice, Osborn Atterbury went to the East Indies, perhaps in the East India Company's merchant service, for Mrs. Morice says that her uncle " gave him five guineas as a present to encourage 278 him to behave well and mind his business at sea." This uncle dying, in 1731, be- queathed to him the reversion of an estate of 4007. a year, to which he succeeded within a few months of his uncle's death. His father, on the other hand, left him nothing he returned to England in 1732, when he married a Miss Ashworth, and was ordained by his father's antagonist, Bishop Hoadley. He died in 1752, but his widow survived until January, 1789. His son, Francis, was elected from West- minster to Christ Church in 1755.-Atter- bury's Corresp. ii. 218-20. 398-9. 413. 418; Gent.

STONE, under-secretary of state; secretary to the island of Barbadoes; sub- governor to George Prince of Wales, 1751; one of the commissioners of trade and plan- tations [Nov. 30, 1749]; treasurer to the Queen, 1761; died, 1773. [Andrew Stone, elder brother of the Primate of Ireland (for whom see Election 1725), was the son of a banker who bore the same names as himself; his father seems to have resided in Winchester, and Andrew was sent to a school in that city, and from thence removed to Westminster, where he distinguished himself by pro- ficiency in his studies, and laid the foun- dation of that scholarship for which he was eminent in after life. He took his master's degree in 1728, and about this time entered upon public life, as private secretary to the Duke of Newcastle, with whom he was politically connected, and lived in habits of confidential intercourse, for upwards of 30 years; by Mr. Pelham, too, he was held in great esteem; and his services were frequently and judiciously employed in making up the differences, which the jealous nature of the one, and the fretful temper of the other, were con- tinually exciting between the two brothers, and which, in 1750, had so nearly broken up their joint administration. Stone owed his first introduction to the Duke to Dr. Barnard (Election 1717), who had married Stone's sister, and then held the living of Esher, in Surrey. In August, 1734, he was appointed under- secretary of state in the Duke of New- castle's office; and, in 1739, joint collector of papers in the office of the secretary of state. In 1741, he was elected M.P. for Hastings, and represented that port during that and the two following Parliaments. He was appointed secretary to the island of Barba- does in 1742;-nominated joint secretary to the lords justices of the Regency, in 1744; and, in 1747, appointed registrar of Chan- cery, Jamaica. In May, 1748, he accom- panied the King to Hanover, officiating as his private secretary until the arrival of the Duke of Newcastle. That the King was pleased with his services is shown by a letter from the Duke to Mr. Pelham, of July 10, 1748, from which the following is an extract:-"You will not be surprised, that whatever regard is shown to me, from character or reputation, is shown to Mr. Stone, from their knowledge of him. The King, and everybody, shows him the greatest distinction, as the King expressed himself to me upon his subject, with the greatest regard and approbation.' 99 From 1749 until 1761 he was one of the commissioners of trade and plantations; and on the revision of the establishment of the Heir-Apparent, upon the death of Frederick Prince of Wales, was appointed sub-governor to Prince George, and pro- vided with a residence near the palace at Kew. The Prince showed him marks of confidence, and his superior influence was so manifest as to rouse the jealousy of Lord Harcourt and Dr. Hayter, Bishop of Norwich, who, finding that the slights they showed the sub-governor did not diminish the favor in which he was held, resigned their respective posts of governor and pre- ceptor: these feuds in the royal household occurred in 1752-3, and were the subject of debate in Parliament, as were also some accusations of Jacobitism brought against Stone, in conjunction with Bishop Johnson and William Murray (Elections 1723 and 1724), to be alluded to hereafter in the no- tice on the first of these names. The charge produced a vindication of the accused, and highly-creditable testimony to the charac- ter of Stone by the Dukes of Newcastle, Argyle, and Marlborough, the Bishop of St. Asaph, Lords Hardwicke, Bath, and Hartington, and most of the other speakers in the debate, especially Lord Waldegrave, then governor of the Prince, who eulogized the principles and conduct of Mr. Stone. The Prince gave the earliest testimony of his regard for his sub-governor, by appoint- ing him treasurer to Queen Charlotte, on the formation of her household. Walpole accuses Stone of being still of the Princess Dowager's council in 1764. Mr. Stone died at his house in Privy Gardens, Whitehall, on the 19th of December, 1773. He married a Miss Mauvillion, in 1743, and lost his son and only child in 1761. He preserved through life the intimacies he had con- tracted at Westminster with Bishop New- ton, Lord Mansfield, and others. He was, according to the report of the former, "a most excellent scholar at school, and at college distinguished himself by his com- positions; and the knowledge, not only of Greek and Latin, but even of the Hebrew 279 language, which he had first learnt at school, he retained and improved to the last; and was, withall, a man of a grave deportment, of a good temper, and of the most consummate prudence and discretion." To these latter qualities, probably more than to any other, he was indebted for his success in life, as by them he was able to manage the Duke of Newcastle's jealous temperament, so that it never broke out against him, although he was highly fa- vored both by George II., and by the Princess Dowager's party, and much courted by all the members of the government. Bishop Newton adds, that he had much reading, great knowledge, and was remark- able for the exactness of his memory. The negotiations between Lord Hardwicke, Mr. Pulteney, Lord Carteret, and the Duke of Newcastle, on the dissolution of Sir Robert Walpole's administration in 1741, were carried on at Stone's house, and, during 30 or 40 years, no man was more completely behind the scenes of the political stage. It is true that another version of his character has been given by Horace Wal- pole, who styles him "a dark, proud man, very able, and very mercenary;" but the above has been taken from what are pro- bably less prejudiced, although less malig- nant, sources, Bishop Newton's Memoirs and Coxe's Pelham Administration; to which may be added the testimony of Lord Waldegrave, who speaks of him in these terms:-"The Bishop of Salisbury, the preceptor, Mr. Stone, the sub-governor, and Mr. Scott, the sub-preceptor (of the Prince of Wales) were men of sense, men of learn- ing, and worthy good men." In the collec- tion of laudatory poems, on the death of George I. and the accession of George II., there is a specimen of his Latin verse.

He was tutor and chaplain to Lord Gower (Admissions 1736), who presented him to the rectory of Bideford, Devon, in 1741 he took possession of that living in the following year, and resided there until his death, in the spring of 1783. He was the author of a sermon on the thanksgiving for the Peace of Paris, in 1763, and of some other works, none of them, as it is said, worthy of his abilities, which were not only considerable, but had been very much cul- tivated for, although these compositions displayed great knowledge of the classics, they were full of strange crotchets. He is reported, by one who does not appear to have been very fond of him, to have been very charitable, but to have found the majority of his parishioners very trou- blesome opponents of all his measures, during his long incumbency of Bideford. He had a ready wit, and great power of writing epigrams: one of the epitaphs he wrote upon his friend, John Bingham, will be given under that name (Election 1725). Upon one of the most turbulent of his flock, an illiberal and ignorant Presbyterian apothecary, with whom it was a point of conscience to oppose the clergymen of the Church of England, he wrote the follow- ing:- "Philip of Macedon, 'tis said, Had every morning, when in bed, A page, whose salutation ran, Remember, Sir, you are a man.

LLOYD, second master of West- minster School, 1748; resigned, 1771; pre- bendary of York, 1777; chancellor of York, 1780; died, 1781. [B.A. 1725;-M.A. 1729;-Bishop New- ton mentions him in terms of respect and affection, as having been usher and second master of Westminster School for 47 years, and having in both stations acquitted him- self with fidelity and honor, and to uni- versal satisfaction. Vicar of Croughton, Northamptonshire, to which he was instituted on the presenta- tion of his relation, Dr. R. Freind (Elec- tion 1686), March 25, 1731, and which he resigned in 1779; rector of the first portion of Waddesdon, on the presentation of Henrietta, Duchess of Marlborough, 1733, which benefice he kept until his death. His life of useful labor was embit- tered by the extravagance and profligacy of his more notorious son (Election 1751); and it was only towards the close of it, and through the kindness of Archbishop Mark- ham, under whom he had so long taught in the school at Westminster, that he obtained preferments which set him free from the poverty with which he had struggled during the greatest portion of his existence. "Yet," says his intimate friend, Bishop Newton (to whom so many of his school- fellows are indebted for having handed down their names to posterity in his Me- moirs), "with all his troubles and disap- pointments, with all the sickness and dis- tress in his family, he still preserved his calm placid countenance, his easy cheerful temper, and was at all times an agreeable friend and companion, in all events a true Christian philosopher." Upon the repre- sentation of the Bishop, the Earl of Egremont, during the few months in which he held the seals of secretary of state, in 1763, contributed handsomely to- wards relieving Mr. Lloyd's distress, and procured for him a small pension, which was afterwards increased to 500l. a year. Mr. Southey says, "He was a humourist, and, of course, furnished, to those who were bred under him, matter for innumerable stories, which there are now none to remem- ber and to laugh at; unless, indeed, which is very likely, some of them have been trans- ferred to his successors, as they may have descended to him. But he was also a kind-hearted, equal-minded, generous, good man. 22 A copy of verses, written in honor of him, by Dr. Vincent, then second master of Westminster, were spoken at the next Westminster Election after his death, which occurred on the 5th of January, 1781: they were translated into English, as a mark of respect to his memory, by Cowper, and printed by the poet, with the note which follows them. "Abiit senex! Periit senex amabilis ! Quo non fuit jucundior. Lugete vos, ætas quibus maturior Senem colendum præstitit, Seu quando, viribus valentioribus Firmoque fretus pectore, Florentiori vos juventute excolens Curâ fovebat patriâ; Seu quando fractus, jamque donatus rude, Vultu sed usque blandulo, Miscere gaudebat suas facetias His annuis leporibus.

CLELAND, the son of Col. Cleland, from whom Steele drew the celebrated character of Will. Honeycomb in the Spec- tator. The son inherited, in some degree, the dissipated manners of the father, and these were not improved by a residence at Smyrna, whither he was sent as consul very early in life. After his return thence he held a public situation in the East Indies, but was compelled, by a quarrel with some of the Members of Council at Bombay, to come home penniless, from those regions where most people made fortunes. It was about this time (1758), when suffering under the iron gripe of actual want, that he committed an act from which his cha- racter never entirely recovered: tempted by a bookseller with 20%., he wrote one of the most indecent publications that ever issued from the press: so gross was the composition, and so great the sale of the book, that he was summoned before the Privy Council; his plea of poverty was so strongly, and apparently so truly, urged, that Lord Granville, on Cleland's promising never again to be connected with such a publication, procured for him a pension of 1007. a year, within the income of which he lived in Petty France, enlivened by the society of many literary friends, and ad- dicting himself to literary pursuits and political writings, whilst he strictly ad- hered to the pledge he had given to Lord Granville. He wrote the long letters, which appeared in the newspapers of that day, under the signature of "A Briton," "Mo- destus," &c.; and he also gave to the world some tracts on the Celtic language, three dramatic pieces, and some novels. It is said that he was an agreeable com- panion, and his conversation full of anec- dote; and he also understood, and spoke fluently, most modern languages. He died at the advanced age of 80, on the 23rd of January, 1789. He was bro- ther to H. Cleland (Election 1728).-Westm. Indentures; MS. note to List in British Museum; Nichols' Lit.

MURRAY, Solicitor General, 1742; Attorney General, 1754; Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, and created Lord Mansfield, 1756; created Earl Mans- field, 1776. [Of all the illustrious characters who have received their education at West- minster, there is perhaps none that holds out a brighter example for the imitation of youth than the accomplished lawyer and statesman, William Murray. Nor is it otherwise than a powerful incentive to the emulation of the young to contemplate the career of one who has been nursed under the same roof, and has so well applied the liberal education he there received, as to be enabled, by the cultivation of his mind, and by the steady pursuit of an honorable profession, to raise himself to the highest eminence in it, and to be one of the main- springs by which the government of his country was, during many years, con- ducted. 0 0 282 He was the fourth son of David, fifth Viscount Stormont, and born at the Abbey of Scone, March 2, 1704. His mother was Marjory, only child of David Scott, Esq., of Scotstarvet, co. Fife, and representative, by her mother's side, of the Murrays, Earls of Annandale. We are told in the memoirs of his contemporary,-the pious bishop, who was this year elected to Cambridge,- that in his Westminster days he gave early proofs of his uncommon abilities, not so much in his poetry as in his other ex- ercises, but particularly in his declama- tions, sure prognostics of that eloquence which grew up to such maturity and per- fection at the bar and in both Houses of Parliament. He had taken his degree of B.A. in 1727, when he wrote a poem, printed with the other academical verses, on the death of George the First and ac- cession of George the Second. This copy of verses was so excellent as to win the first prize given on the occasion. He re- sided on his studentship for some time after this; took his M.A. degree in June, 1730; and spent in foreign travel the months which elapsed between that time and the Michaelmas term of 1731, when he was called to the bar by the Society of Lincoln's Inn, of which, so early as 1724, he had been admitted a student. During the three years which followed his call, Mr. Murray was frequently em- ployed in appeal cases before the House of Lords; indeed, his principal business al- ways lay before that tribunal, and the Court of Chancery, throughout the whole course of his practice. Accordingly, we find him in 1737, pleading before Parliament against the bill for inflicting penalties upon the Provost and City of Edinburgh for the Porteus riots; for which "signal service to them by his speeches to both Houses' he was presented with the freedom of that city "in a gold box, September 8, 1743." In 1738, he performed a similar service as counsel before the Commons for the mer- chants trading to the plantations in Ame- rica, on their petition against the ill usage of Spain. Having resolved to rise by his profession, he did not come into Parliament until he was made Solicitor General, by Lord Car- teret's Administration, in November, 1742; he was then returned for Boroughbridge, Yorkshire, and sat for that borough until he was removed to the Upper House. His eloquence, uniting, as it did, the utmost gracefulness of manner, and a voice pecu- liarly harmonious, to luminous argument couched in the elegant diction of a highly- cultivated mind, placed him, almost imme- diately, foremost in the ranks of Parlia- mentary orators, and made him no unequal match for the great Mr. Pitt. Even Wal- pole, his bitter enemy, unjustly as he abuses the man, never fails to mention, not only with respect, but with the highest admira- tion, the ability and eloquence of the orator. * * * "Murray," says he, "who at the begin- ning of the session was awed by Pitt, find- ing himself supported by Fox, surmounted his fears, and convinced the House, and Pitt too, of his superior abilities; he grew most uneasy to the latter." "Murray, the brightest genius of the three, had too much and too little of the lawyer: he refined too much, and could wrangle too little for a popular assembly." Lord Waldegrave speaks to the same effect, in alluding to the underhand opposition of Pitt and Fox to the Duke of Newcastle, in the session of 1755:-" Pitt undertook the difficult task of silencing Murray, the At- torney General, the ablest man as well as the ablest debater in the House of Com- mons;❞—and again, "In all debates of consequence, Murray, the Attorney Gene- ral, had greatly the advantage over Pitt in point of argument; and, abuse only ex- cepted, was not much his inferior in any part of oratory." Mr. Murray had, on the 20th of April, 1754, succeeded to the office of Attorney General, on the elevation of Sir Dudley Ryder to the bench; and, since the death of Mr. Pelham, which occurred on the 3rd of the preceding month, had become more necessary than ever to the Duke of New- castle's influence in the House of Commons, being the only leading man in it (except Sir Thos. Robinson) whom his Grace could securely trust. But in two years the Duke was destined to lose this support; for, upon the death of Chief Justice Ryder, in July, 1756, Murray," who" (as Lord Waldegrave says) "stood without a rival," and whose "merit and abilities must have insured his promotion had he been known only in West- minster Hall and at the bar of the House of Lords" would not forego his claim to suc- ceed to the office, which had been through life the great object of his ambition. No entreaties, which the desolate condition of the Minister induced him to make, were listened to, though they were accompanied with unprecedented offers of pensions, re- versions of offices and peerages, for himself and his family. Mr. Murray protested that, unless his just demand was acceded to, he would resign his post of Attorney General, and leave the Ministry to their fate. This threat had the desired effect; he was no- minated Chief Justice, and, on the 24th of October, created Baron Mansfield, of Mans- 283 field, co. Notts. The importance of this change is graphically described by the speech of Charles Townshend, quoted by Walpole: "I wish you joy," said the wit to the new Chief Justice, "or rather myself, for you will ruin the Duke of Newcastle, by quitting the House of Commons, and the Chancellor by going into the House of Lords." Lord Mansfield's consequence was based upon too solid grounds to suffer any dimi- nution by his new honors, or the change of theatre for displaying his talents. He was consulted by the Ministry, and by the Court; and, in the confusion consequent upon the intrigues which turned out Mr. Pitt and Mr. BILSON LEGGE, in 1759, he held the seals of Chancellor of the Exchequer from April 9 to July 2; and in June re- ceived full powers from the King to ar- range a new ministry, which powers were afterwards entrusted to Lord Hardwicke. In the following October he was appointed a member of the Cabinet Council, at the suggestion of Lord Hardwicke: an honor, H. Walpole says, "uncommon," and "due to his high abilities." That his oratorical powers were not impaired by his elevation is proved by the speech which he made in 1758, in opposition to the bill for extend- ing the provisions of the Habeas Corpus Act; upon which Walpole has written such an eloquent panegyric, confessing, that he "never heard so much argument, so much sense, and so much oratory united;" and that he did not know how "true a votary he was to liberty, till he found that he was not one of those who were staggered by that speech.' دو He again held the seals of Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the interval between the premature death of Charles Townshend and Lord North's acceptance of them, from September 12 to December 1, 1767. In the year 1770, Lord Mansfield presided as Speaker in the House of Lords, whilst the Great Seal was in commission, during which time he was Chancellor in all but the name. From the early connection of Lord Mans- field with George the Third, when Prince of Wales, he always retained a great ascend- ancy over him; and, except during the time when his old antagonist in the Commons, and Lord Camden (now, like himself, raised to the peerage), were in office, he had considerable influence with the successive administrations. The extent to which he joined in the deliberations of the Cabinet Councils is best gathered from a speech of his own, in 1775, in answer to an attack of the Duke of Grafton :-" He said he had been a Cabinet Minister part of the late reign, and the whole of the present; that there was a nominal and an efficient Cabinet; that for several years he acted as a member of the latter, and consequently deliberated with the King's Minister; that, however, a short time previous to the ad- ministration in which the noble Marquis presided at the head of the Treasury, and some considerable time before the noble Duke succeeded him in that department, he had prayed his Majesty to excuse him; and from that day to the present he had declined to act as an efficient Cabinet Minister." Lord Temple, in the debates upon Lord Ellen- borough's seat in the Cabinet, in 1806, said, that after examining the records on the sub- ject, he could state that "Lord Mansfield attended every council from 1760 to 1763;" that, in 1763, he left off attending, "be- cause he would not sit with the Duke of Bedford, but returned again in 1765, and was named as one of the Council of Re- gency in the bill framed by Sir F. Norton." "In the riots of 1780 he attended the Council." Many persons might, like Lord Mansfield, have resolved to rise only in the line of their profession; but very few, if any, would have had the sincerity of that resolution so often tried by the most tempting offers; for, besides the proffers made at the time of his taking the Chief Justiceship, he had three, if not more, distinct offers of the still higher dignity of Lord Chancellor-upon the resignation of Lord Hardwicke, in 1756, when, upon Lord Mansfield's refusal of the Great Seal, it was put into commis- sion; again, in 1757, before Sir ROBERT HENLEY (also an old Westminster) was made Lord Keeper; and again, in 1770, both before the appointment of the ill-fated Mr. Charles Yorke, and after his untimely end. And, so early as the death of Mr. Pelham, Murray was considered, Walpole says, by the nation at large, as one of the three candidates (Pitt and Fox being the other two) for the arduous post of first Minister of the Crown. There are two events in the life of this eminent lawyer and statesman which can- not be omitted, even in this brief sketch of his career-his famous judgment, in 1768, so misrepresented by Horace Walpole, on the question of the legality of Wilkes's outlawry, when he reversed the outlawry from a flaw in the form of words: he had received several anonymous letters, threat- ening his life, and it is difficult to know which to admire most, the grandeur of his defiance of the "civium ardor prava jubentium," or the dignity of the language in which it was couched :-and, secondly, his speech in the House of Lords, after the destruction of his house in Bloomsbury 002 284 Square, together with his most valuable collection of books and MSS., in the riots of 1780 in the words of Bishop Newton, "It was really wonderful, after such a shock as he had received, that he could so soon recollect himself, and so far summon up his faculties, as to make one of the ablest speeches that ever was heard in Parlia- ment, to justify the legality of the late proceedings on the part of Government, to demonstrate that no royal prerogative had been exerted, no martial law had been exercised, nothing had been done but what every man, civil or military, had a right to do in the like cases. 'I speak not from books, for books I have none." This fine speech ended the debate without a division. ,, A man so much before the eyes of the world as Lord Mansfield could not but have made himself many detractors, at a time especially when party ran so high as it did in George the Second's reign and the beginning of the reign of George the Third. Horace Walpole, of course, attacked a Scotchman, and a supporter of the preroga- tive; and it is curious to observe how much more bitter the memoir-writer becomes as he advances, so that, when at the conclu- sion of his memoirs, any one who relies upon them must suppose Lord Mansfield to have been a monster unfit to live. Junius's calumnies have been of late too frequently exposed to call for any remark here. Lord Mansfield had one fault, which often gave his foes an opportunity of attack- ing him, an excess of caution and a dread of responsibility: he appears to have loved to direct public affairs so long as he was not responsible for them. The writer of a re- cent article in the Edinburgh Review (Oct. 1846, pp. 396-400), speaking in high praise of the happy effect of his accession to the bench upon the legal profession generally, adds, "In the peculiar condition of English law and practice, when Lord Mansfield was appointed, it is hardly too much to say that the whole system must have fallen into confusion but for the fortuitous arrival of a master mind to grapple with it;" and he also quotes Mr. Justice Buller's opinion, that Lord Mansfield may be truly said to be the founder of the commercial law of this country." Lord Brougham, too, has bestowed upon him his meed of praise, in his eloquent life of this great lawyer:- "Over that great court (says Lord Brougham) he presided above 30 years, and his administration of its functions spread a lustre alike upon the tribunal and the judge." And again, "His mind and his habits were eminently judicial, and it may be doubted if, taking both the externals and the more essential qualities into the account, that go to form a great judge, any one has ever administered the laws in this country whom we can fairly name as his equal." Lord Mansfield continued to preside over the King's Bench until June, 1786, when he had passed his 82nd year, and, upon resigning that post, received, by the hands of Mr. Erskine, a becoming address from the barristers practising in his court. He survived until March 20, 1793, when he died at Caen Wood, exhausted by old age, in the 89th year of his age. He had married, in 1738, the Lady Elizabeth Finch, daugh- ter of Lord Winchelsea and Nottingham, but having no issue by her, he obtained, in 1776, the settlement of the remainder of his Earldom of Mansfield, of Mansfield, co. Notts, upon Louisa, Viscountess Stormont, the wife of his nephew; but, July 26, 1792, he was created Earl Mansfield, of Mans- field, co. Middlesex, with remainder to Lord Stormont himself (Election 1744). In private life he was the charm of all society; in his youth he had lived with all the persons of literary distinction of the day, and they were giants in literature; he was especially intimate with Pope, and will go down to posterity in the verses of that poet, as well as in the history of those times: "How sweet an Ovid, MURRAY was our boast!" Dunciad, iv. 169. As a lawyer he was self-taught, and had never gone through the process of a special pleader's or conveyancer's office. He had studied oratory, as well at Oxford as in debating clubs in London, and was ad- dressed by Pope, in the Epistle dedicated to him (1. 48): "Grac'd, as thou art, with all the pow'r of words, So known, so honour'd, in the House of Lords.' The charge that was brought against him by Fawcett, of having drunk Jacobite toasts with Andrew Stone and Bishop John- son (Elections 1722 and 1724), and its re- futation, will be noticed in the account of that prelate. At Lord Mansfield's attachment to West- minster continued through life, and, as long as his strength would permit him, he at- tended regularly the plays and annual meetings, which have for so many years been venerated customs of the school. the election dinner of 1793, his death was feelingly lamented, in an elegant copy of verses, written by Dean Vincent, and spoken by the Captain, Dr. Kidd, the pre- sent Regius Professor of Medicine. He was interred, by his own desire, in Westminster Abbey, by the side of his wife. Lord Mansfield was chosen a Governor of the 285 Charter House, 1758.

James Bertie, was second son of James, first Earl of Abingdon, and repre- sented the county of Middlesex in several Parliaments during the reigns of Queen Anne, and of her two successors. His mo- ther was Elizabeth, daughter of George, seventh Lord Willoughby, of Parham, upon whose death, and upon that of her uncle, Charles, tenth Lord Willoughby, she in- herited great estates, and among them a seat at Stanwell, Middlesex, where this Dr. Bertie was born, Jan. 13, 1706.

CHURCH, M.A. 1730; and incor- porated in that degree at bridge, 1732; rector of Boxford, and of Croton (Cor- ton ?), Suffolk, 1742; died at Norwich, Oct. 27, 1785, aged 80. Bishop Newton says that he was called "Honest John Church,' and that he "was very well worthy of the appellation;" and adds, "As he resided altogether on his livings in Suffolk, he was little known in the world; but wherever he was known he was greatly esteemed, having been, both man and boy, a pattern of prudence and discretion, of probity and integrity, of good temper and good man- ners, and, in many respects, living up to the character of the good parson imitated from Chaucer, and enlarged by Dryden.' He was accounted a learned man, but pe- cuniary embarrassments disturbed his old age; they were attributed by some to his liberal contributions to the cause of the Pretender, to which he was much attached. Ralph Church (for whom see Election 1725) was his brother; they were natives of London, and their father's Christian name was John.-Westm. Indentures; Oxf.

DYER, son of Robert Dyer, a so- licitor of some reputation at Aberglasney, Carmarthenshire ;-M.A. 1730;-rector of Bedhampton, Hants. He was appointed yeoman of the Almonry by Lord Talbot, who permitted him to make over the office to his son in 1779.-Westm. Indentures; Oxf. Grad.; Nichols' Leicestershire, iv. 80, n. 1039; MS. note by Bishop of St. Asaph.] [He was the brother of JOHN DYER, whom Johnson thought worthy of a place in his Lives of the Poets (Works, xi. 272-5). John, too, was educated at Westminster School, whence he removed into Wales, to follow his father's profession. As this was distasteful to him, he quitted it upon his father's death, and studied painting, both in England and at Rome; but, abandoning this mode of livelihood also, he was or- dained, and made rector of Calthorpe, Lei- cestershire, April 30, 1742: he exchanged this living, after ten years possession of it, for Belshford rectory, Lincolnshire. In 1751, he was presented by Sir John Heath- cote to the rectory of Coningsby, Lincoln- shire; and to Kirkby vicarage, by the Lord Chancellor, in 1755. The three works on which his claim to the designation of poet rest, are "Grongar Hill," published in 1727;-"The Ruins of Rome," in 1740;-and "The Fleece," in 1757. John Dyer was born in 1700, and died, July 24, 1758.-Nichols' Leicester- shire, iv. 78. 80.] 5 T. NEWTON, chaplain to his Majesty, 1756; precentor of York, 1759; canon re- sidentiary of St. Paul's [Dec. 5], and Bishop of Bristol, 1761; [elected] dean of St. Paul's [Oct. 5], 1768; author of the Dis- sertations on the Prophecies, Notes on Milton, &c.; died, 1782. [This was a truly pious divine; eminent no less for his theological learning, and love of literature, than for his amiable dispo- position. The entertaining memoirs of his Life and Times, which are so often quoted in this work, have been the chief source whence the following particulars concerning him have been derived :- Lichfield was the place of his birth, which took place on St. Thomas's Day, 1703, O. S., and the circumstance of his being born on that day directed his parents in the choice of his Christian name. father was Mr. John Newton, a brandy and cider merchant of known respectability and integrity in Lichfield, who retired from His 286 his business many years before his death, in 1754; Mr. Newton lost his first wife, the daughter of a clergyman of the name of Rhodes, about a year after the birth of this their son. The future bishop was at first sent to the free school of his native city; he was re- moved thence to Westminster School after the Whitsun holidays, in 1717, by the ad- vice of Bishop Smalridge (Election 1682) and of Dr. Trebeck, father of James Tre- beck (Election 1746), and rector of St. George's, Hanover Square; with the latter he became connected by the second mar- riage of his father to Dr. Trebeck's sister. He was placed in the under 4th, and, re- maining in College for his fifth year, be- came captain of the school. Having lost his friend, Bishop Smalridge, in 1719, and looking to the chance of being able, by in- dustry, to obtain a fellowship of Trinity,- one or more of which were then almost invariably given to the Westminster Scho- lars,-Newton preferred a request to the Master of Trinity that he might be elected to Cambridge. "Bentley," says Newton, "wondered at the strangeness of the appli- cation, the Westminster Scholars, if they ever applied to him, applying more usually that he would not, than that he would, elect them to Cambridge." Newton took his B.A. degree in 1726; and was admitted into holy orders, December 21, 1729. He graduated M.A. 1730. -- From Cambridge he betook himself to London, and officiated for some years as curate and assistant preacher to Dr. Tre- beck, at St. George's, Hanover Square. From this he was appointed reader and af- ternoon preacher at South Audley Street Chapel, and, as tutor to Lord Carpenter's son (afterwards Earl of Tyrconnel), with whose family he lived on terms of the greatest intimacy, and assisted in arranging the marriage of the sister of his pupil to Lord Egremont. He used frequently to assist his old masters, Dr. Freind and Dr. Nicoll, by preaching for them in West- minster Abbey. From Dr. Pearce (Election 1710), then vicar of St. Martin's-in-the- Fields, he received, unsolicited, the ap- pointment of morning preacher in Spring Gardens Chapel. About this time he was introduced to Lord BATH, and to the Prince and Princess of Wales: this was occasioned by his being employed by Mrs. Deanes Devenish, the widow of the poet Rowe (Ad- missions 1688), to superintend a new edi- tion of the works of her first husband. He, accordingly, corrected the press, and wrote for Mrs. Devenish a dedication to the Princess of Wales. On the 3rd of March, 1744, being then 40 years old, he received his first living, that of St. Mary- le-Bow, Cheapside: this living he resigned in 1768, having held it nearly 25 years. In 1745 he proceeded D.D. D.D. He suc- ceeded Dr. Savage (Admissions 1687), as lecturer of St. George's, Hanover Square, in 1747; and in the August of that year married the eldest daughter of his old friend, Dr. Trebeck, whom he had the mis- fortune to lose in 1754. In 1749 he pub- lished his edition of Milton, which had gone through eight editions in 1775. In March, 1751, he preached a sermon on the death of Frederick Prince of Wales, which the Princess sent for, and returned, accom- panied by a desire that he would be her chaplain. The first volume of his Disser- tations on the Prophecies appeared in the end of 1754, and the two other volumes in three years from that time: it was held in great esteem at home, and translated into German and Danish, and continues to main- tain its reputation for erudition and piety. He had now brought himself into some notice, and the Duke of Newcastle offered him a stall at Westminster, in 1756. He gave up his claim to this preferment at the request of the Duke; but in the next year, another stall at Westminster falling vacant, Dr. Newton was appointed to it on the 22nd of March: he was also, in this year, made sub-Almoner by Archbishop Gilbert. He married for his second wife, a daughter of Lord Lisburne, in 1761. On his eleva- tion to the bench, in 1761, the vestry of St. George's voted him thanks for his services as lecturer; so did also the Governors of St. Luke's, for the legacy which, at his suggestion, they received from Sir Thos. Clarke (Election 1721). He was conse- crated, December 8, 1761; his old friend, Dr. Lloyd (Election 1722) preaching the sermon on the occasion. George Grenville had a great opinion of the Bishop, and, in 1764, was anxious to have made him Bishop of London, an ar- rangement only frustrated by the King's having promised the see to Dr. Terrick. Upon the death of Dr. Stone (Election 1725), in 1764, Mr. Grenville offered Dr. Newton the Primacy of Ireland, and hinted that he should always be named one of the Lords Justices of that kingdom in the ab- sence of the Lord Lieutenant; but he de- clined the appointment. A cold, which fixed itself upon his lungs, in December, 1768, nearly terminated his life; he reco- vered, however, but his health was much shaken by it. In 1776, while on the Dor- setshire visitation, he had another attack of the same severe illness, another in 1779, and another in 1781; he struggled through that year, but sunk under the 287 complaint on the 14th of the February following. With most of his schoolfellows he main- tained a staunch friendship, and especially with Lord Mansfield, in proof of which the affectionate correspondence between them may be quoted. With Lord BATH, also a Westminster man, though not a King's Scholar, he was extremely intimate, and that nobleman confided to him a full ac- count, which he had drawn up, of the re- signation and restoration of the Pelhams, in 1746. This interesting document, which had received the approbation of the King, was afterwards, unfortunately, destroyed. His edition of Milton procured for him the friendship of Dr. Jortin and Bishop Warburton, and Lord Bath's Letters to him from Paris are full of interest on the subject. The Bishop attended but rarely, and never spoke in the House of Lords, but he signed the protest against the third reading of the repeal of the American Stamp Act, in 1766; and before the debate on the bill for the relief of Protestant Dis- senters from Subscription, he circulated among the Peers the substance of his in- tended speech. He possessed a large collection of books, pictures, and prints, which he had begun whilst he was in Lord Carpenter's family; and, in 1773, he favored the scheme of Sir Joshua Reynolds, for introducing paintings into St. Paul's: he made great improve- ments in the Deanery House, and also introduced a better management of the estates of that Chapter, and of those be- longing to the see of Bristol. He was very particular as to his residence at Bristol, where a good example in that re- spect was highly necessary. As the trus- tees of St. Paul's, for some reason or other, objected to his monument being placed in that Cathedral, in which he lies interred, his widow erected a handsome one to his memory in the church of St. Mary-le-Bow. The sculpture represents Religion and Science deploring his loss. He was sincerely and ardently attached to the School at which he was educated, and by a well-timed remonstrance to Lord North, on the unusual slight passed upon the School, and upon the Head Master, by not making Dr. Smith, who then filled that office, a prebendary of Westminster, he procured for him the next vacant stall in the Abbey. It would be well if the ex- ample were followed in the present day, and the late worthy Head Master were not allowed to remain a solitary instance of a person having filled, for so many years, that onerous and important situation, without having received any reward to soften the ungrateful labors of the education of youth. -Cole's MSS., xlv. 245. 344; Cant.

[He contributed a copy of verses to the academical poems on the death of George the First and the accession of George the Second, in 1727;-M.A. 1731;-B.D. and D.D. June 1, 1742. He was instituted rec- tor of Berkhampstead, Herts, January 14, 1743, and continued rector thereof until his translation to Worcester. He resigned the post of second master in 1748, when, through the interest of his schoolfellows, the Duke of Newcastle, A. Stone, and W. Murray (Elections 1722 and 1723), he was made chaplain to George the Second, and was required to accompany the King to Hanover. In 1752, it was in contemplation to appoint him preceptor to the Prince of Wales, but this intention was given up upon the violent opposition of the Whigs: and, in the following year, an accusation was brought against him, of having, to- gether with Stone and Murray, drank the health of the Pretender. This charge, mentioned casually at dinner at Lord Ra- vensworth's, by an attorney at Newcastle, named Fawcett, afterwards got abroad. Fawcett was summoned to London by Mr. Pelham, and examined by the Cabinet Council, before whom he prevaricated to an extraordinary degree. The subject was brought under discussion in the House of Lords, first by Lord Ravensworth, and af- terwards by the Duke of Bedford. The Bishop spoke in his own defence, with in- solence, according to H. Walpole; but it must be remembered that H. Walpole is speaking of a prelate of the Church, and a friend of Murray and Stone, on a charge in which all three were implicated. They were defended elegantly and eloquently by Dr. HAY-DRUMMOND, who, like his brother, Lord DUPPLIN, was educated at West- minster School, although not upon the foundation. Dr. Drummond was at this time Bishop of St. Asaph (Election 1769). The debate ended in the acquittal of all the accused without a division; and they had previously been exculpated from the charge by the report made by the Cabinet Council to the King. The charge against the Bishop, indeed, had been withdrawn by Fawcett almost as soon as made, and Lord Ravensworth apologised for having named him in the accusation. Bishop Johnson's death was occasioned by a fall from his horse at Bath, but he was buried in his own cathedral, and a hand- some monument was erected to him in the south transept, upon which is a fine bust by Nollekens: the inscription, which was written by Dr. P. Lloyd (Election 1722), relates that he repaired both the episcopal residences attached to the diocese of Wor- cester; and Bishop Newton likewise tells us that "he had some good legacies left him,' which enabled him to do this at a great ex- pense, and also "to keep a good table;" and he adds, "what was the most shining part of his character, he was notus in fratres animi paterni, a father, as it were, to his numerous nephews and nieces." وو Bishop Johnson's father was the Rev. James Johnson, rector of Milford, Suffolk; and his grandfather was George Johnson, Esq., of Bowden Park, Wilts, sometime Mem- ber of Parliament for Devizes.-Westm. In- dentures; Oxf.

He died at his father's house, in Cork Street, London, December 21, 1731.

STONE, Dean of Derry; Bishop of Leighlin and Ferns [May 12], 1740; Bishop of Kildare, and Dean of Christ Church, Ireland [Feb. 19, 1743]; Bishop of Derry [April 30, 1745]; Archbishop of Armagh [March 3], 1747. [The general character, and many cir- cumstances connected with the life of this ambitious prelate, have been mentioned by anticipation in the notice on his political enemy, Lord Shannon (Admissions 1702). It is, indeed, much to be regretted, that any one should have perverted the high dignity which he enjoyed in the Church, to gratify his own love of power, and secular ends; but such conduct is still more atrocious, when, as in this case, it is un- redeemed by that example of holiness and sobriety which is looked for in the spiritual head of the Church; yet such a censure, rarely as it has been deserved by any mem- ber of the prelacy of the Church of England, must, it is feared, be pronounced upon Archbishop Stone. Having been promoted very early in life to the deanery of St. Edan, in Ireland, through the interest of his bro- ther Andrew (Election 1722), he was further advanced to that of Derry, January 23, 1734; and raised to the episcopal bench in that country when he was but 32 years of age, and, within seven years of that time, was made Primate of all Ireland. Up to this period it would not seem that he was possessed of much visible weight and power in the Irish administration, nor, indeed, until four years afterwards; it is true, he was no- minated one of the Lords Justices in 1747, again in 1748, and again in 1750, during the government of the Earl of Harrington; but this was then a usual compliment to the high office which he held, and the in- fluence of Mr. Boyle with the Lord Lieu- tenant was too powerful to give so young a politician any chance of arriving at supreme power. In 1751, however, when the Duke of Dorset was nominated to the Chief Go- vernorship of Ireland, the Primate's con- nection with Lord George Sackville, com- bined with his influence in England, ena- bled him to enter the lists with Mr. Boyle, as a competitor for the supreme direction of Irish affairs; and from this time until the compromise effected, as has been al- ready related (page 241), by Lord Charle- mont, in 1756, the government of Ireland was kept in a state of perpetual ferment by the turbulent ambition of the Arch- bishop. These turmoils led to the removal of his patron; and, in 1756, tranquillity was restored by the dismissal of himself and his antagonist from the Regency, of which he had been a member in 1752 and 1754. In 1758, both he and Boyle were again appointed Lords Justices by the Duke of Bedford, and re-appointed in 1760, in 1762, and finally in 1764: on the 19th of December in that year the Primate died, at the age of 57, at his brother's house, in Privy Gardens. Mr. Cole (MSS., vii. 228) relates, that his body, having lain in state in the Jerusalem Chamber, was interred in Westminster Abbey, with much ceremony, on the night of the 4th of January, and a black marble slab in the north aisle records the spot where it was buried. According to Horace Walpole, his constitution was enfeebled by intemperance; the same au- thority, however, adds, that "he was aided by several virtues: he was generous and charitable, and of a soul above revenge;" 291 M and further remarks, that "Stone sup- ported his influence with the boldness of a statesman." He had come to England with Lord Northumberland in 1763, and is men- tioned as one of Lord Bute's junto, who met daily at that time at Andrew Stone's house, in Privy Gardens. He never, how- ever, recovered the influence which he pos- sessed from 1751 to 1755. Horace Walpole, in commenting on the characters of Stone and his rival, gives the preference, in point of principle, to the former. Such, however, does not seem to be the view taken in Hardy's life of Lord Charlemont; from which, as it seems to give an impartial description of Stone, the following extract is subjoined :- "The sound superior sense of Lord Shan- non would, perhaps, in any case, have taught him moderation, but Stone's am- bition, in truth, knew no limits; and in another country, the chicane of negotia- tions, the subserviency of foreign cabinets, the tumults of wars, the friendship or the overthrow of princes, would alone have completely filled up every part of his mind. He at first captivated all who approached him by the uncommon beauty of his person, his address, and the vivacity of his conversa- tion; he had, in some respects, far juster views of Ireland than many of his contem- poraries; but his own aggrandizement pre- dominated over every consideration; whilst in the more early part of his political life he affected no other character than that of a statesman, he was, though unpopular, dignified and imposing; when, towards the close of it, he thought proper occasionally to assume the lowliness of an ecclesiastic satiated with the bustle and splendour of the world, the artful statesman still glared so over every part of his behaviour as to render it in some measure revolting. He quickly perceived the effects of his newly adopted manner, and re-assumed his old one, in which not the least trace of a Churchman was visible." A place is al- lotted to him in the political squib, called "Barratriana," in which he figures under the soubriquet of "Cardinal Lapidario." Bishop Newton says that it would have suited the disposition of the brothers better, had Andrew been the ecclesiastic, and George the official secretary. A copy of verses, by George Stone, is preserved among the Oxford poems, on the death of George I. and the accession of George II. in 1727; he also printed a ser- mon, preached before the Dublin Society, in 1742. He took the degree of M.A. 1732, and received that of D.D. by diploma, May 20, 1740. It will be seen by the dates of his prefer- ments given above, which have been cor- rected by the London Gazettes, that there is an error in the note to Coxe's Pelham Administration, where he is stated to have been made Bishop of Ferns in 1731; that is, when he was but 23 years old!

He appears to have been a person of extra- ordinary promise, both from his great abili- ties and his amiable disposition. He died, 1735, and was buried at Melcombe, where is to be found the following epitaph, written by his friend, Mr. Whitfield (Election 1722).

In 1757, he was presented by the Lord Keeper, Sir ROBERT HENLEY, to the rectory of St. Nicholas, Leicester; and Mr. Andrewes enjoyed a well-merited reputation both as a scholar and a divine; and is said to have been beloved by his pu- pils and respected by his parishioners.

Indentures; MS. note to List in Brit. Museum; Oxf. Grad.] [C. WESLEY, the youngest son of the rector of Wroote and Epworth, and en- dowed with no inconsiderable share of the talent and virtues which distinguished his extraordinary family. His life, even from his entrance into it, was chequered with incidents of a peculiar, and almost romantic character. His mother having prematurely given birth to him, his life was despaired of, and only preserved by his being wrap- ped up in soft wool until the time when he would naturally have been born; and it was not until that period had passed that he gave any decided sign of life. He was also but two months old when he, with 293 the rest of his family, escaped being burned to death, when the rectory house at Ep- worth was set on fire. In due time he was removed from the tuition of his careful mother, and sent to Westminster School, of which his brother (Election 1711) was one of the ushers. During his stay at West- minster, a gentleman of large fortune, and of the same surname, wrote to his father, offering, if he had a son named Charles, to make that son his heir, and for some years this gentleman paid all the boy's school bills. One day, however, this benefactor visited his protégé, and invited him to live with him in Ireland. Charles referred the mat- ter to his father, and, upon his father's de- siring him to please himself, declined the offer; and it is a remarkable fact, that the person who inherited this gentleman's pro- perty, and took the name of Wesley, or Wellesley, became Earl of Mornington, and was grandfather to Lord Wellesley and the Duke of Wellington. Upon his removal to Oxford, Charles, profiting by the excellent teaching of his brother Samuel, and finding a good example in his brother John, who had just been chosen a Fellow of Lincoln College, pursued his studies assiduously, his studies assiduously, and led a very regular life, though not one sufficiently austere to please his brother John, who had already begun to give indi- cations of that religious enthusiasm which ultimately carried him to such extreme lengths. Whilst, however, his brother was at Ep- worth, acting as his father's curate, Charles became more serious, and, uniting with two or three under-graduates, set apart much of his time to devotional exercises, and works of active charity, and received the sacra- ment weekly. Such an open profession of religion by young men, in a profligate age, soon drew upon them the ridicule of their contemporaries, and numerous were the terms of derision and obloquy heaped upon them. The least offensive of these designa- tions, that of methodists, remained with them, and was the term of distinction for the sect which his brother John afterwards founded. When John returned to Oxford this little society placed themselves under his guidance. In April, 1735, the Wesleys lost their father; Charles's plan had been to remain at Oxford as a tutor, without taking orders; but, when John had made up his mind, at the request of the trustees of the colony of Georgia, to go out as a preacher of the gospel to the new colonists and the neighbouring heathen, Charles re- solved to accompany his brother, at whose request he was ordained before he went, although his nominal appointment was that of secretary to Mr. Oglethorpe, the founder of the colony. He had taken his M.A. degree in 1732. This missionary expedition suited the talents of neither of the brothers, and was far from being successful. When they reached America, Charles was separated from his brother, and sent to Frederica, a settlement on the western side of the island of St. Simon's Bay, in the mouth of the Ala- tamala: his preaching met with much op- position; complaints were preferred against him; he lost the countenance of Mr. Ogle- thorpe, and vexation and disappointment threw him into a fever, which very nearly cut short his career. Brighter days, how- ever, came in their due course; an expla- nation satisfied the leader of the colony that the stories against C. Wesley were calumnies, and, early in 1737, he sent him home with despatches. It seems probable, that during the interval between his return and that of his brother, Charles resided chiefly at Oxford; and it was at this pe- riod that the Moravian, Peter Boehler, acquired such influence over the mind of John, as to drive him into the most extra- vagant opinions upon doctrinal points. Charles could not at first keep pace with him in these. Their elder brother, Samuel, to whom they had both been indebted for contributing to their education, in vain remonstrated against such notions. alarming illness, from which Charles had just recovered, prevented his accompanying John on his extraordinary visit to the Moravians in Germany. During his ab- sence, Charles was employed in keeping to- gether the society he and his brother had formed, and made himself conspicuous by exhorting (probably with more zeal than judgment) the criminals under sentence of death in Newgate, whom he even accom- panied to Tyburn. This brought him into collision with Bishop Gibson, whose con- duct was marked by mildness and tolera- tion, by a desire not to lose the services of so zealous a minister, and a wish to stop the spreading of such erroneous tenets, the due inculcation of which was to be proved by convulsions of body and mind in the recipient. Charles himself, it must be owned, did not approve of these hysterical exhibitions, as his own experience had taught him that they were oftener the result of an intention to deceive, than the expressions of a genuine piety. An Shortly after the return of John Wesley from Germany, the system of itinerant preaching throughout England, Scotland, and Ireland, commenced: Charles bore his part in it, and continued to do so even for a short time after his marriage, which took place in March, 1749; the lady whom he 294 married was the daughter of Marmaduke Gwynne, Esq., of Garth, in Brecknock- shire. During the later years of his life he used to officiate in the new chapel, at the head- quarters of the Methodists, which were re- moved in 1778 to the City Road. He died ten years after this removal, on the 5th of April, 1788, having nearly reached his 80th year, and was buried, by his own desire, in the churchyard of Marylebone parish, eight clergymen of the Church of England sup- porting his pall. His sermons were eloquent, and clothed in appropriate and flowing language, and his manner of delivering them very earnest and convincing. The affection and defer- ence which he bore towards his brother John led him further upon many points than he would otherwise have gone. It has been mentioned, that he was not so easily imposed upon as his brother by the bodily convulsions, exhibited by some "Converts;" so also had his opinions upon. other points been mellowed by time. He withstood his brother in the matter of the lay-preachers, whom he looked upon as not duly authorized to officiate as ministers; and by refusing to admit the validity of the orders conferred by the Greek Bishop, in 1764. There was this wide difference between the brothers, that Charles was not ambitious of any pre-eminent distinction. Latterly, too, he was most hostile to the band-meetings, and most anxious to prevent any separation from the Church of Eng- land, disapproving of those measures of his brother, which he foresaw were leading to it. He had two sons, whom he wisely encouraged in the natural bent of their genius, and they became distinguished mu- sicians, notwithstanding the remonstrances of his brother, and other Methodists, against such a frivolous profession. One of these sons seceded to the Church of Rome. Although Charles and his brother had dif- fered upon these matters, they maintained their affection for one another undisturbed to the close of Charles's life. Charles had, indeed, been of essential service to John; had devoted heart and soul to the propaga- tion of the Gospel; was irreproachable in his habits of life and conversation; and commanded respect by his abilities and at- tainments: his brother could implicitly rely upon his support in all emergencies. The work of his which is best known, is his hymns and sacred poems, first printed in two volumes at Bristol, in 1749; a se- cond edition of it was published in 1768. A volume of his sermons was given to the public by his widow, in 1816, with a memoir of the author. His life has been written by more than one hand; but the facts here narrated have been chiefly gleaned from the entertaining and instructive life of John Wesley, by the late Mr. Southey, who styles Charles Wesley, "The sweet singer of Methodism."-Oxf. Grad.; Gent. Mag. xix. 188; Bodleian Catalogue.] 2 [OFFLEY, son of Merevale, WARTER, of Fordham, Cambridgeshire, wrote one of the poems, printed by the University, on the death of George the First, and accession of George the Second.

He ob- tained the living of Hutton, in the West Riding, from Lord Rockingham, in 1742; and accumulated the degrees in divinity, July 15, 1748. In 1751, he went to Ireland as first chaplain to the Duke of Dorset ;- was preferred to his bishopricks on the dates stated above;-was made prelate of the order of St. Patrick, 1783;-succeeded to the family baronetcy on the death of his brother, Sir William, in 1785;—and was appointed one of the Lords Justices of Ireland, in 1787. 22 At school "he had been junior, or man," (the anecdote is from Bishop Newton's life) to Bishop Newton, to whom the Primacy of Ireland was first offered, on the death of Archbishop Stone; and Bishop Robinson's brother, Sir Septimus (Election 1730), being in attendance in the House of Lords, as Usher of the Black Rod, said to Bishop Newton, "I know you were always a good master; but now you have made a better provision for your man than ever master did before you." As he was a Bishop, he does not escape a hard word from Horace Walpole, who sneers at him for not being ambitious of political power, almost as much as he abuses his predecessor for hav- 295 99 ing attempted to engross it; but the Editor of the Memoirs of George the Third draws the following just character of this prelate: -"Primate Robinson, without being emi- nent either as a divine or a politician, filled his high office creditably. He had sound sense, a turn for business, was not ignorant of the world, and his deportment admirably suited a great ecclesiastic. * * * * He exerted himself laudably in building churches and parsonage houses, and in maintaining the character of the clergy.' He is also said to have defended with care the legal rights of the Church of Ireland. He was a great benefactor to the see and town of Armagh; and gave 20007., in 1773, to the building of the Canterbury Gate at Christ Church, Oxford, and upwards of 40007., in 1783, to the rebuilding of the Quadrangle itself, besides defraying the expense of putting in the windows. His bust is in the Library, and his picture, by Sir Joshua Reynolds, in the Hall of that Society. His elevation to the Primacy, after the refusal of Bishop Newton, is remarkable, as having been the result of a contest for power between the Duke of Northumber- land, the then Lord Lieutenant, backed by the secret influence of Lord Bute, and Mr. Grenville, who was anxious to have given the Primacy to his quondam tutor, Dr. Ewer. The Archbishop died at Clifton, near Bristol, in September, 1794, in the 85th year of his age. His nephew, who in- herited his property, was elected to Christ Church, in 1772.-Oxf.

Upon his rejection by both Universities, in 1727, he became a pensioner of St. John's College, Cambridge, and took the degrees of B.A. 1730, and M.A. 1734. He was ac- quainted with Dr. Johnson, whom he used to entertain in his visits to Lichfield; and he is more than once mentioned in Boswell's Life (ii. 364-5, &c.). Boswell describes him as a great valetudinarian, but also calls him "a genteel, well bred, dignified clergy- man." He travelled with one of the sons of the Duke of Grafton. The edition of Beau- mont and Fletcher, mentioned above, was published by him, in 1750, in conjunction with Mr. Sympson: the preface was by Seward. He also published, in 1746, a tract on the question just raised by Dr. Middleton, as to the conformity between Paganism and Popery; and a sermon, preached at Lichfield, in 1756, entitled, "The late dreadful earthquakes no proof of God's particular Wrath against the Por- tuguese." In a brief advertisement, at the beginning of the sermon, he states that he had passed some weeks at Lisbon, where he was hospitably entertained by the gentle- men of the English Factory. Another ser- mon, printed by him, was preached at the Stafford Assizes, on the occasion of the Riots; it was favorably spoken of by Lord. Chief Baron Parker and Mr. Justice Bur- net, and made public only after a special request for it. He contributed some poetical trifles to Dodsley's Collection of Fugitive Pieces, and was the author of other works, which are enumerated at p. 369 of vol. lix. of the Gentleman's Magazine. Mr. Seward was appointed prebendary of Lyme Regis, in the Cathedral of Salis- bury, May 2, 1755, and was rector of Eyam, Derbyshire, and of Kingsley, Staf- ford. He died at the Bishop's palace, Lichfield, aged 82, March 4, 1790.

BERNARD, [Steward] of Lincoln; governor of New Jersey; governor of the province of Massachusetts Bay, in America; and created a baronet, 1769; died, 1779. [Sir Francis Bernard was of an ancient family, originally seated in Yorkshire, and the son of a clergyman who bore the same names, and was rector of Brightwell, Berks, where this worthy was born. He took his M.A. degree at Oxford, 1736;-became a student at the Middle Temple ;-was called to the bar by that Society, and practised his calling on the Midland Circuit, upon which he acted as Recorder of Boston. He was appointed Captain-General and Go- vernor of New Jersey, January 27, 1758, and, November 27, 1759, was transferred to the government of Massachusetts Bay, which he administered for ten years. During the first part of that time, he was so popular that a resolution was passed by the House of Assembly, Feb. 27, 1762, granting to him the island of Mount Desert, lying on the north eastward of Pembscot Bay; during the latter part, his popularity was disturbed by the excitement and heats which were kindled in the colony by the passing of the Stamp Act in the Parliament of England; but even then, although, to use his own words, he felt himself bound to give up 66 the general good will, and good opinion of the people, not by any act of his own, but by the unavoidable obligations of his office, in a business in which he had no concern but as an executive officer," yet he re- ceived, both from Marshal Conway and Lord Shelburne, the successive Secretaries of State, the highest approbation of his firm and temperate conduct; and, in testi- mony of this, he was, without any solicita- tion on his part, and during his absence from England, created a baronet of Nettle- ham, an estate near Lincoln, April 5, 1769. Upon his return home, he resided at first at Nether Winchendon, Bucks (an estate of the Tyringham family, which came to him through his mother, a daughter and co- heiress of Richard Winslowe, Esq., of Lewknor, Oxon.), and afterwards at Ayles- bury. He himself was married, in 1741, to Amelia, daughter of Stephen Offley, Esq., of Norton Hall, co. Derby, by whom he had several children: the eldest son was elected to Christ Church, 1761. Sir Francis survived his wife but one year, and died on the 16th of June, 1779, in the 77th year of his age, and was interred in Aylesbury Church, where there is a monument to his memory. He received from the University of Oxford the honorary degree of D.C.L., July 2, 1772; and from Christ Church, the honor of hav- ing his picture, by Copley, among the other illustrious students in the Hall of that Society. He was also made a bencher of the Middle Temple. He edited, as al- ready mentioned, the Odes of Anthony Alsop (Election 1690), whom his mother had taken for her second husband. He QQ 2 300 A.D. 1730.

Sir Francis returned to England, in 1769, to defend himself against the accu- sations sent home against him; and, though the Privy Council decided that the charges against him were "groundless, vexatious, and scandalous," he was unwilling to re- turn to his government, and resigned it in the following year.-Westm.

He lies buried in a vault in Rokeby Church, where his only surviving brothers, Sir William Robinson and the Primate, in 1777, erected a monument to his memory, giving a full account of his military actions and domestic qualities: the inscription is supposed to have been written by the Arch- bishop; it states that Sir Septimus entered the army in 1721, and in the course of 15 years served six campaigns as aide-de-camp to three different commanders: one under Monsieur Clermont Tallerande, in the French army; two under Marshal Wade (one in Flanders, and the other in the re- bellion in the year 1745); and three under Marshal Ligonier, in Flanders.

LEWIS, a famous performer of Ignoramus. [In Mr. Hawkins' edition of "Ignora- mus," published in 1787 (pp. lxxxvi.-viii.), it is stated that that comedy was acted at Westminster in 1712 (see Trelawny, Elec- tion 1713), 1713, 1730, and 1747. On the two last occasions "it was so admirably acted that, at the request of the audience, it was played four, instead of three times. * **The part of Ignoramus was, in 1730, so admirably sustained by Mr. Lewis, that he was ever after known to his ac- quaintance by the designation of Ignoramus Lewis." The cast of characters, in 1730, as given by Mr. Hawkins, was as follows;- that in 1747 will be given under Election 1748. IGNORAMUS-G.

He was vicar of Westerham, and, in 1754, a dispensation was granted to him to hold, in addition to that living, the rectory of Etchingham, Sussex. In Hasted's History of Kent (i. 390. 8. 429), the date of his presentation to Wes- terham is not given; but the next presen- tation after his is in 1771. There is, too, some confusion about him, for he is said to have been also vicar of Hever, Kent, from 1721 to 1761, which, of course, is impos- sible. The monument to his widow, in High Wycombe Church, informs us that she died in 1783, at the age of 63. He was brother to C. Lewis (Admissions 1739).-Oxf. Grad.; Lipscombe's Bucks, iii. 651; Gent.

He accumulated the degrees of BD. and D.D. July 6, 1748. He re- signed his prebend of Westminster on being promoted to a canonry of Christ Church, in the stead of Dr. Gregory (Election 1714), May 15, 1756; and it is said to have been his unconditional surrender of this prefer- ment, to oblige his patron, which obtained. for him, without any solicitation on his part, the offer of the deanery of Canter- bury, in which he was installed, June 14, 1760: the date of this act of liberality has not been discovered, but it is mentioned by several authorities. The Dean married Miss Grace Robinson, sister to the Archbishop, and Sir S. Robin- son (Elections 1726, 1730); and his son (Election 1772) succeeded to the estates of the former. 29 He published his "Concio ad Clerum,' delivered before the Convocation, in 1761; and there is a Latin ode of his, printed with the other Oxford verses, on Queen Caroline's death, in 1738. He died at Canterbury, November 26, 1766, but his body was interred at Witney, and a short inscription to his memory was placed upon the monument of his father and mother, in that church. His character is thus given in Todd's Lives of the Deans of Canterbury (200-4): -"Few deans were more esteemed; for his attainments as a scholar and a gentle- man were eminent; his conduct as a di- vine exemplary. He possessed a most benevolent heart, and was modest and un- assuming." He is also said to have had a fine taste in music. The Dean inherited the greater part of the fortune of his uncle, the physician (Election 1694), pro- bably on the death of his cousin, as re- corded below.-Oxf.

ELLIS, Lord of the Admiralty, 1747; Secretary at War; Vice-Treasurer of Ireland, 1755; again, 1765 and 1770; Member of Parliament for Weymouth, 1774, 1780, and 1784; Treasurer of the Navy, 1777; Secretary of State for the Colonies, 1782. [A younger son of the Bishop of Meath (Election 1680), and born at Kildare, over which see his father then presided. He was a B.A., when he wrote some verses, printed with the Oxford poems, on the death of Queen Caroline, in 1738; but he does not appear to have graduated as M.A. Mr. Ellis was actively engaged in the bustle of political life during more than half a century; and for forty years (with the exception of only a short interval) held some office under the Crown. He made his first appearance in Parliament as Mem- ber for Cricklade, after the general election of 1741; and in November, 1744, seconded the Address to the Throne, which was moved by Mr. Yorke; in the following session he again seconded the Address, then moved by Mr. Legge, assuring the King of the sympathy of Parliament against the Pretender. In February, 1747, he took his seat at the Board of Admiralty, in Mr. Pelham's Administration, and retained it until the 6th of April, 1754. He was re- turned to Parliament for Weymouth, in November, 1747, and again in 1754; but on the dissolution which followed the death of George the Second, Mr. Doddington (in- stigated, it is said, by Lord Bute) refused to nominate Mr. Ellis for this borough. He was, however, elected for Aylesbury, No- vember 3, 1761. He was sworn of the Privy Council, March 20, 1760. Early in his career, he had attached himself so strongly to Mr. Fox, that Lord Chatham, according to H. Walpole, used to call him "that clerk of Mr. Fox;" and Ellis was the first of the five persons for whose provision Mr. Fox stipulated, when he acceded to the Duke of Newcastle's Ad- ministration, in July, 1755: a promise of a seat at the Treasury Board was given him, but broken, from the Duke's jealousy of his new ally; as an indemnification, how- ever, he was, on the 27th of Dec., appointed vice-treasurer of Ireland, which office was split into three for the occasion. He held this appointment until Dec. 27, 1762, when, on Mr. Fox's junction with Lord Bute, he was made Secretary at War. He resigned this last post when the Rockingham party came into office, in July, 1765, but was re- stored to the vice-treasurership of Ireland, which he kept until the formation, by Lord Chatham, of the Duke of Grafton's Ad- ministration, in October, 1766. From this time until February, 1770, when Lord North was placed at the head of the Go- vernment, Mr. Ellis appears to have held no office; he was then re-appointed a vice- treasurer of Ireland. In May, 1768, he was elected for the borough of Petersfield, Hampshire, and appears to have taken a very active part in the debates of that Parliament. In the three succeeding Par- liaments, those of 1774, 1780, and 1784, he sat for his old seat of Weymouth. In 1777, he was made Treasurer of the Navy; and, on the 11th of February, 1782, Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies; but, when Mr. Pitt was made Minister, in De- cember, 1783, he resigned the seals, and 305 with the rest of his party, went into oppo- sition: this was the last office which he held under the Crown, but he continued to take a considerable share in the de- bates in the House of Commons; and twice, in 1789, proposed Sir Gilbert Elliot for the office of Speaker of the House of Commons, although without success. He failed in obtaining a seat at the general election, in November, 1790; but, on Lord Titchfield's accepting the Chiltern Hundreds, April, 1791, Mr. Ellis succeeded him as Member for Petersfield. In 1793, he shared in the alarm which the Duke of Portland, Lord Spenser, Mr. Burke, and that section of his party, manifested at the sanguinary conduct of the French Revolutionists; and, when the Duke was admitted into the Cabinet, Mr. Ellis was, August 13, 1794, created Baron Mendip, of Mendip, co. Somerset, with re- mainder to the three sons of James, Vis- count Cliefden (eldest son of his sister Anne, who married Henry Agar, Esq., of Gowran, co. Kilkenny) (Elections 1778, 1784, and 1788), and also to the second and third sons of his sister, Welbore Ellis Agar, and Dr. Charles Agar, Archbishop of Cashel (Election 1755). After this, Lord Mendip retired from public life, and passed the remainder of his days enjoying that most real of all pleasures, "the age of ease which crowns the "life of labor:" to add to this enjoyment he possessed a highly cul- tivated mind, and was an excellent classical scholar. His library is said to have been one of the finest in the kingdom. He was twice married; first, to the daughter of Sir William Stanhope, K.B., through whom he became proprietor of Pope's villa at Twick- enham; and from his second wife, a daugh- ter of Mr. Hans Stanley, he obtained a beautiful seat in the New Forest. وو He was a Fellow of the Royal Society; and, in 1780, was appointed a trustee of the British Museum. The University of Oxford conferred on him the honorary de- gree of D.C.L., July 17, 1773. Lord Mendip died at his house, in Brook Street, Hanover Square, on the 2nd of February, 1802, having completed his 88th year. He was interred in Westminster Abbey, between the graves of Lord Chatham and Lord Mansfield. The character of Lord Mendip is ably drawn in an elaborate no- tice of his life in the Gentleman's Magazine (lxxii. 188). In it he is described as "a correct and accurate, though not an elo- quent, speaker; of spotless integrity, not- withstanding his connection with so many Governments. It was his principle in ge- neral to support the measures of Govern- ment, but his political opinions were ever consistent, and his political attachments firm and unshaken." Mr. Burke speaks of his habitual "candour and correctness in debate." Horace Walpole, in 1755, men- tions him as one of those persons who ex- celled in their own peculiar manner of speaking, and who had, by such excellence, "revived the lustre of the House of Com- mons." Walpole has also drawn an amusing comparison of his character with that of Lord Barrington, which, considering the pen from which it proceeds, may be called a flattering description. Lord Mendip was a constant attendant at the Westminster Meetings, and especially at the Plays. He was accustomed, too, to boast of having slept both in the Old and New Dormitory. Lord Mendip's picture, by Gainsborough, is in Christ Church Hall.-Westm. Inden- tures; Hist. and Antiq., Appx. 294; Collins' Peerage, viii. 360; Walpole's Memoirs, Geo. II. i. 403. 484-5. 487, Geo.

On the 9th of May, 1758, he was pro- moted to be major of the 50th regiment of Foot; in 1759, he exchanged into the 9th Foot, commanded by Colonel Whit- more; and, as lieutenant-colonel and quar- ter-master general, accompanied that regi- ment on the expedition against Belleisle: he was wounded and taken prisoner during the siege, April 8, 1761.

Mr. Cole says, that "on being rejected as Senior of West- minster" (probably when a candidate for a Fellowship)," he came as Fellow Commoner to King's accordingly, we find that he became M.A. of King's College, 1739. He was presented by the King to the vicarages of Godalming and of Shelford, both in Surrey; to the former he was instituted, May 12, 1757, to the latter, March 21, 1760. He died in 1761, and was buried at Godalming on the 21st of October.-Cole's MSS., xlv. 347; Cant. Grad.; Manning's Surrey, i. 648, ii. 107.] 6 [E.

Hav- ing survived his elder, and only, brother, he inherited his father's property, which had been acquired in the city by trade. He was twice married, and had a daugh- ter by his first, and a son by his second, wife. He was an intimate friend of Mr. Cole, the antiquarian.

There were difficulties connected with his election as professor, which it required several meet- ings of the Committee to overcome. He was an Herefordshire person; took the degree of B.A. 1735; and of M.A. 1739;-and was chosen Fellow of Trinity in 1738.-Cole's MSS., xlv. 246. 347; Cant. Grad.; Ward's Gresham Professors (Brit.

He was born at Melcombe, in 1715, and was taken care of by his maternal grandfather. He did not take his election to Cambridge, but was entered a Commoner at Christ Church: after he had passed his B.A. degree, he became a Fellow of All Souls, and there took the degrees of M.A. 1739, and B.D. 1748 in the preceding year, at a time when party feeling ran very high,-he filled the office of proctor, and is said to have conducted himself in it with proper spirit and resolution. He removed from Oxford, on being instituted to the rectory of Pimperne, Dorsetshire, May 23, 1748. He was likewise instituted to that of More Crichel, in 1755, to which that of Long Crichel was annexed, September 8, 1774. He was elected proctor for the diocese of Salisbury in the convocations of 1761, 1768, 1774, and 1780. In 1756, Mr. Bingham lost his wife, who died at Pimperne: to divert his thoughts, he gave up his residence at that place, and intended to live entirely at More Crichel; but, illness coming upon him, from the unhealthy situation of the then parsonage house, he returned to Pimperne, where he spent the remainder of his days, and died, at the age of 85, October 11, 1800. He lies buried in the chancel of that church, in which his son raised a mo- nument to his memory. reputation for great abilities, extensive Mr. Bingham enjoyed a considerable reading, and profound learning; he was a good Hebrew scholar, and an eminent divine. He published several works; such as, Dissertations on the Millennium, in 1772; on St. Paul's preaching at Athens, in 1782; and on the Song of Solomon. His principal work appeared in 1774, having been printed at the Clarendon Press; it was a Vindication of the Doc- trine and Liturgy of the Church of Eng- land, occasioned by the Apology of Theo- philus Lindsey, M.A., on resigning the living of Catterick, Yorkshire. It was in- scribed to Bishop Newton (Election 1723), who made favorable mention of it in his charge to the clergy of his diocese, in 1776. In 1781, Bishop Bagot (page 34), who was only acquainted with Mr. Bingham by character, offered him the Warburton Lec- ture. This offer Mr. Bingham declined, for reasons stated in a letter to the Bishop, to be found (with Bishop Bagot's letter) in the Life prefixed to the collection made by Mr. Peregrine Bingham of his father's works, in 1804, whence the materials for this account have been chiefly drawn. Mr. Bingham was an intimate friend of Sir William Blackstone. He rendered great assistance to Mr. Hutchins in the History of Dorsetshire.-Westm. Indentures; Oxf.

NEWDIGATE, Baronet, Member of 307 Parliament for the county of Middlesex, 1743; for the University of Oxford, 1750, 1754, 1761, 1768, and 1774. [Sir Richard Newdigate, of Harefield, Middlesex, and Arbury, Warwickshire, married, for his second wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Roger Twisden, and by her was father of seven sons. The four eldest died young: EDWARD, the fifth, succeeded to his father's baronetcy in 1727: he went from Westminster School to University College, Oxford, and died in his 18th year, in 1734. RICHARD, the sixth, died of the small-pox, at Westminster School, in 1733. This ROGER, the seventh, was born in 1719; and succeeded to the family honors and property on the death of his brother Ed- ward. At his own request, he remained at Westminster for some time after this event, and was afterwards entered a Gentleman Commoner at University College, Oxford; and created M.A. May 16, 1738. He made the tour of France and Italy; and was returned to Parliament, as Member for Middlesex, on the elevation of Mr. Pulteney to the House of Lords. His po- litical principles were those of the High Tory party, and, as late as 1767, Horace Walpole calls him "a half-converted Ja- cobite." In 1745, he attacked the newly- formed "Broad Bottom Administration," on Sir W. Yonge's motion for the employ- ment of 28,000 men in Flanders. He re- ceived at Oxford the honorary distinction of D.C.L. April 17, 1749; and was elected Member of Parliament for the Univer- sity, Jan. 31, 1749-50, when Lord Corn- bury was called up to the Upper House, and continued to represent that learned constituency until 1780, when he withdrew from public life. Horace Walpole mentions him as speaking in favor of the repeal of the Plantation Act, in 1753, and as taking a part hostile to the Duke of Grafton's Administration, in the debates on the Land Tax, and the proposed grant to the Royal Princes, in 1767. He died at Arbury, after a few days' illness, November 23, 1806; and was interred in the family vault at Harefield. He possessed a fine estate at this place, and built a villa in a beautiful situation near Uxbridge. He was the owner of very productive coal-mines, and he cut many miles of navigable canal, through his collieries and woods, to unite them with the Coventry Canal. He was also very bountiful to the poor, whom he kept in constant employment. To the University of Oxford he gave the noble antique cande- labra, in the Radcliffe Library; the works of T. R. Piranesi were a gift of his to the Bodleian; and he founded the prize, called by his name, for a copy of English verses, not exceeding fifty, and containing no compliment to himself, on ancient painting, sculpture, or architecture. To University College, he gave the chimney- piece in the Hall; and to Queen's College, a cast of the Florentine Boar. Archdeacon Churton has described him as a person of polished manners, of a dignified and affable deportment, with an intelligent and bene- volent countenance. A curious instance of forgetfulness is related of him, on good authority, that, having on some occasion visited his family vault, he was transported with rage on finding the coffin of an infant there, and was with difficulty convinced that the infant was a child of his own, which had survived its birth only a few days. He was twice married, but had no child except the one which is the subject of the preceding anecdote; a circumstance the more remarkable, when it is considered that he himself succeeded to the family honors and estates, being the seventh son of his father.

[This worthy became possessed of a con- siderable landed property; he was the son of Thos. Brereton, Esq., of Shotwick Park, Cheshire, by his first wife. This Thomas Brereton, after the death of Owen's mother (who was one of the Trelawny family), married a daughter of Salusbury Lloyd, Esq., of Ledbrooke, and inherited, in right of her, a considerable landed property, which he bequeathed by will, dated in 1756, to Owen Brereton, the son of his first nuptials, who, in consequence, assumed the additional name of SALUSBURY; and him- self dying childless, bequeathed the pro- perty to the Trelawnys (Admissions 1795). Mr. O. Brereton was appointed a commis- sioner of the Lottery, in 1738. He was ap- pointed a Baron of the Exchequer of Chester; -was chosen a bencher of Lincoln's Inn, and served the office of Treasurer and Keeper of the Black Book in that Society. He had been anxious to resign his office of Recorder of Liverpool, but retained it at the special request of the Corporation; he refused frequent offers of presents of plate from the Corporation, accepting only a copy of Roscoe's History of the Medici, with the arms of the Corporation stamped upon the binding. He only sat in one Parliament. Several papers of his are printed among the Proceedings of the Society of Anti- quaries, of which he became one of the Vice-Presidents. He held a similar po- sition in the Society of Arts and Commerce, and in various literary and charitable in- stitutions. Mr. Owen Salusbury Brereton married a Miss Whitmore, of Shropshire, a sister of Sir Thomas Whitmore, K.B., by whom he had five children, all of whom died young. He was brother to R.

He afterwards took to the stage, and be- came an actor and a theatrical manager of considerable celebrity in Dublin. As such he obtained a place in the Rosciad:- "Next follows Sheridan-a doubtful name, As yet unsettled in the rank of Fame; This, fondly lavish in his praises grown, Gives him all merit; that, allows him none; Between them both we'll steer the middle course, Nor, loving praise, rob judgment of her force." Then follows a long and, in some respects, severe criticism upon his faults; and then the poet sums up: "But, spite of all defects, his glories rise, And Art, by judgment form'd, with Nature vies; Behold him sound the depths of Hubert's soul, Whilst in his own contending passions roll; View the whole scene, with critic judgment scan, And then deny him merit if you can. Where he falls short 'tis Nature's fault alone, Where he succeeds the merit's all his own." A still higher panegyric on his acting will be found at page 124 of volume xvii. of the Gentleman's Magazine. He was also an author. His principal works were a Treatise upon Education, and some Lectures on Elocution, published in 1775; both were highly popular in their time, and reflected great credit on their. author. In 1780, he published an English Dictionary, in two volumes, with a Rhe- torical Grammar prefixed; and, in 1784, appeared his "Life and Works of Dean Swift." Sir Walter Scott has pronounced the Life to be an "excellent" one. His lectures on Elocution were very numerously attended. In 1759, he lectured at Oxford, at Cambridge, and in London. He died at Margate, August 14, 1788, leaving one son, Charles, Secretary at War in Ireland, and another, Richard Brinsley, Member of Parliament for Stafford, having already begun that political career in which he was destined to become so distinguished. -Westm.

[This was the eldest surviving son of John Leveson, Baron, and afterwards Earl, Gower, by his first wife, the Lady Evelyn Pierpoint, third daughter of Evelyn, Duke of Kingston;-born, August 4, 1721. His father had been mixed up with most of the political intrigues of his day; had be- gun life as a violent Jacobite, but had been brought to a better opinion of the reigning family, by being twice appointed Lord Privy Seal, in 1742, and in 1744; and by being created an Earl in 1746. Walpole says "he had a large fortune, and com- manded boroughs;" and, accordingly, Mr. Granville Leveson Gower was returned to Parliament for one of them nearly as early as possible. In 1746, upon his fa- ther's elevation to the dignity of an Earl, he assumed the courtesy title of Viscount Trentham. His father's influence, and his own abilities, which were very good, soon caused him to be looked upon by the Pel- ham Administration as an useful sup- porter; and at the general election, in 1747, he became a candidate for West- minster, on the Ministerial. interest, and was returned without opposition; and, Novem- ber 18, 1749, was appointed a Lord of the Admiralty. The new election, which the acceptance of this office rendered neces- sary, was only gained by Lord Trentham after a severe contest. The Jacobites, in- censed at Lord Gower's desertion of their party, opposed his son's re-election with the greatest acrimony. This contest-so memorable for the disturbances which it occasioned, and for the proceedings and scrutiny which followed it, and were only brought to a close in May, 1751,-ended in confirming the return of Lord Trent- ham, the High Bailiff declaring him duly elected by 170 votes. It was upon one of the discussions arising out of the pe- titions against his return, in January, 1751, that he made his maiden speech, and Horace Walpole says that he "replied with great manliness, and sense and spirit." He early attached himself to the party, nick- named the "Bloomsbury Gang," of which his father-in-law, the Duke of Bedford, was the head, and of which Lord Sand- wich, who presided at the Admiralty, was a considerable supporter; and when those noblemen withdrew from the Pelham Ad- ministration, in June, 1751, Lord Trent- ham resigned with them, notwithstanding his father's displeasure at his doing so. Upon the death of his father, which took place December 25, 1754, he succeeded to the earldom of Gower; and also to the offices of Lord Lieutenant and Custos Ro- tulorum of Staffordshire, to which he was appointed Jan. 7, 1755. Just a year after this event, the Duke of Newcastle, to pro- pitiate the Duke of Bedford, appointed Lord Gower to the office of Lord Privy Seal; a vast promotion," as Walpole says, "for so young a man." He continued to hold the Seal under the Administration of the Duke of Devonshire;-then followed the dismissal 66 315 of Pitt and Legge, in April, 1757, and the confusion of administrations, or rather the absence of ministry, which prevailed until their restoration to power in the following July. Lord Gower took a prominent part in the negotiations of this unsettled period, and, in the arrangement which took place, was nominated Master of the Horse, July 2. He had consented to accept this office, in- stead of the Privy Seal, had Lord Walde- grave's attempt to form a ministry been successful. In 1760, he was appointed Keeper of the Great Wardrobe, and held that post until the accession to office of the Duke of Bedford, who insisted upon his having the Lord Chamberlain's Staff, which was given him, after some difficulty, April 23, 1763. In the capacity of Lord Cham- berlain he stood proxy for the Duke of Saxe-Gotha at the christening of Prince Frederick, afterwards Duke of York. He resigned this post on the accession to office of the Rockingham Ministry, in July, 1765; and, on their resignation, in July, 1766, Lord Chatham endeavoured to detach him from the Bedford party, by the offer of the place of first Lord of the Admiralty, and made other overtures to the Bedford party, all of which were declined. The negotiation was renewed by the Duke of Grafton (over whom, it is asserted by Wal- pole, that Lord Gower had obtained a great ascendancy), and brought to a conclusion, December 23, 1767, when Lord Gower was made Lord President of the Council. He became an active member of the Adminis- tration, and ingratiated himself into the good opinion of the King: he remained in his office after the Duke of Grafton's retire- ment from the head of affairs, and is con- sidered by Walpole to have had a great share in procuring that event. This opinion is confilmed by an anecdote, related on the authority of one who long lived in habits of great intimacy with George the Third, to whom the King himself told it: that Lord Gower, coming to Court one day, found the King very angry at the Duke's absence, in no very respectable company at New- market, when some important question was in agitation, and on his Majesty's com- plaining of his negligence, Lord Gower gested that His Majesty might put the second man (meaning Lord North) "first." Lord Gower himself is said to have been anxious for, and to have looked with hope towards obtaining, the post of Premier for himself at several periods during this reign. sug- A few days before the meeting of Parlia- ment, in the end of November, 1779, Lord Gower threw up the Presidency of the Council, and was followed by a detachment of the old Bedford party. He made a vio- lent speech against the Government on the 1st of December, when Lord Shelburne moved for a censure against Ministers for their conduct to Ireland, which he alleged was his reason for leaving the Administra- tion: he concluded his attack by the re- mark, that he had "presided for some years at the Council table, and that he had seen such things pass of late that no man of honor or conscience could any longer sit there." In December, 1783, on the forma- tion of Mr. Pitt's ministry, after the defeat of Mr. Fox's East India Bill, Lord Gower again took his seat in the Cabinet as Lord President of the Council, but in December, 1784, exchanged that office for his old place of Lord Privy Seal, of which he re- mained in possession ten years, until the coalition of the Duke of Portland's friends. with Mr. Pitt, in July, 1794, when he re- tired to make way for Lord Spencer, and never afterwards held any political office: for some time, indeed, before this, he does not appear to have taken any part in the debates of the House of Lords. Lord Gower was appointed to the vacant Garter, February 11, and installed, July 25, 1771; and created Marquis of the county of Stafford, Feb. 11, 1786;-he was chosen a Governor of the Charter House, in 1757, and was also Recorder of Stafford. He married, for his second wife, the Lady Louisa Egerton, daughter of the Duke of Bridgewater, by whom he had GEORGE GRANVILLE, his successor, created DUKE OF SUTHERLAND in 1833, who was educated at Westminster, but not on the foundation-and two daughters; one mar- ried to Lord Chief Baron Macdonald (Elec- tion 1764). For his descendants by this alliance who have been in College, see Elections 1801, 1832, 1834, 1842, and 1845. The other daughter married the Right Rev. Dr. EDWARD VERNON-HARCOURT, Arch- bishop of YORK, who, though not a King's Scholar, continued to his death one of the steadiest supporters of Westminster, and the most constant attendant at all the Plays and Election dinners.

Lord Stafford died at Trentham, on the 26th of October, 1803. He had been connected with the political world, and actively engaged in its pro- jects, intrigues and changes for 50 years, with more success than falls to the lot of most of those who tread the stage of public life. He possessed wealth, vast estates, and important political influence; he was, moreover, powerfully connected by the SS2 316 A.D. 1737. Elected to Oxford. John Hay¹. John Jeffreys2. James Yates.

Bedf His influence in his own county was so great that, by it, he was enabled, alone, to raise 400 men, when an invasion was appre- hended in the winter of 1755-6. With these external advantages he united great abilities and considerable powers of ora- tory; but, to the disparagement of his fame, it must be added, that he united also with them the defects of an intriguing spirit; and an intense selfishness guided that am- bition which he possessed, and might have directed to nobler ends.-Coxe's Pelham Administration, ii. 182-3; Lyttelton's Me- moirs, i. 238, ii. 497; Walpole's Memoirs, Geo.

He suc- ceeded his father as the eighth Earl of Kinnoul, July 28, 1758; and, in 1759, was sent to Portugal as Ambassador Extraor- dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary. Lord Kinnoul retired from public life on the dissolution of the Duke of Newcastle's Ad- ministration, in 1762, and adhered to his resolution of not again accepting office. He devoted the remainder of his life to works of utility and benevolence, and the supervision of his estates in Scotland; and was elected Chancellor of the University of St. Andrew, in 1765. He died at Dup- plin, Dec. 27, 1787; and, as he had no sur- viving son, the family honors devolved on a son of his brother, the Archbishop (see Election 1769).-Douglas' Peerage of Scotland, by Wood, ii. 49.] 2 J.

Gilly Williams (by which soubriquet he was known among his contemporaries) was celebrated for his wit, his agreeable con- versation, and his letters, even in the so- ciety of George Selwyn and his associates. He was one of Selwyn's most intimate friends and correspondents; several of his letters, beginning in October, 1747, were published by Mr. Jesse, in his work, en- titled "Selwyn and his Contemporaries (i. 126, &c.): they are witty, but partake of even more than the usual licentious tone of that day. He and Selwyn, and Dick Edgecombe and Horace Walpole, formed a little club, which used to meet at stated times at Strawberry Hill, and were desig- nated by Walpole, his out-of-town party: Walpole's correspondence, also, bears traces of his intimacy with Gilly Williams. He was made Inspector General of In- land Excise duties, 1751; and joint-re- ceiver (with one of the Norths) of all his Majesty's Revenues in Virginia, Sept. 1, 1772.

MARKHAM, Head Master of Westminster School, 1753; [installed] Pre- bendary of Durham [July 20], 1759; Dean of Rochester, 1765; Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, 1767; Bishop of Chester; Preceptor to the Prince of Wales and the Bishop of Osnaburgh, 1771; Archbishop of York, 1776. [He was a native of Kinsale, Ireland, and the son of Major William Markham, who died in 1772. "He was admitted," (says a note upon Markham, by his succes- sor, Dr. Smith (Election 1750), "into West- minster School, being then 14 years old, as appears by Dr. Nicoll's book." He gra- duated M.A. 1745, and proceeded B.C.L. November 20, D.C.L. November 24, 1752; -was appointed chaplain to the King in 1756;-resigned the charge of Westminster School on his promotion to the deanery of Rochester, which took place, Feb. 12, 1765; -and, in the same year, was presented, by the Dean and Chapter of Rochester, to the vicarage of Boxley, Kent, which he held until he was made a bishop. He was in- stalled in the deanery of Christ Church, October 23, 1767, and resigned that of Rochester, but he held Christ Church in commendam with the see of Chester. His congé d'élire to that see appeared in the Gazette, of the 26th of January, and his appointment as preceptor on the 12th of April, 1771. He was translated to the archiepiscopal see of York, December 21, 1776;-nominated Lord High Almoner, and sworn of the Privy Council. The Archbishop's political opinions agreed with the Tory party, but he was moderate in them, and rarely took part in the debates of the House of Peers. He owed his selection for the office of tutor to the young Prince to the friendship of Lord Mansfield (Election 1723); and, of course, this was sufficient to bring him under the censure of H. Walpole, which has afforded the editor of the Memoirs of George III. an opportunity, which he has not neglected, of vindicating the Archbishop's character. His reputation as a scholar and a pre- ceptor stand too high to require any ad- ditional notice here. Many specimens of his Latin poetry are printed in the second volume of the Carmina Quadragesimalia; and his "Judicium Paridis," which has always been highly esteemed by the most competent judges of classical writing,-is in the Musæ Anglicana (ii. 277). On other grounds, Dr. Markham had but little claim to the title of author; indeed, his only publications were some single sermons, preached on particular occasions;-some discourses on the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, printed in 1787;-and a "Concio. ad Clerum," delivered, Jan. 25, 1769. He maintained his attachment to War- ren Hastings, who had befriended one of his sons (Admissions 1773) in India, and, on that account, he is satirized in the "Rolliad." He was also very intimate with Burke. Archbishop Markham was a munificent contributor to the funds raised for repair- ing the Cathedrals of York, Southwell, and Ripon, and to the subscription for the 319 restoration of Queen's College, Oxford, of which, as Archbishop of York, he was Visitor. His name is also enrolled as one of the donors to the Bodleian Library. He was, too, a benefactor to Boxley, where he improved the vicarage house, as he did also the deanery house at Rochester. The great features in the character of this distinguished prelate seem to have been strict honesty and a high sense of honor, joined with modesty and simplicity. He died on the 3rd of November, 1807, and was interred in the north cloister of Westminster Abbey on the 11th. A neat monument to his memory has, of late years, been erected in that cloister by his grand- children. His picture, a Sir Joshua, hangs in Christ Church Hall, and another portrait of him is among those of the Head Masters of Westminster in the Common Room of that Society. The Archbishop married a daughter of John Goddard, Esq., of Rotterdam. All his six sons were educated at Westminster; the only one who (from his not having been on the foundation) will not be men- tioned hereafter-is JOHN, the second son, who, upon leaving Westminster, entered the Royal Navy, was made a post-captain, Jan. 3, 1783; a rear-admiral in 1804; was a Lord Commissioner of the Admiralty from 1801 to 1804; and again a member of that Board in 1806 and 1807. He was promoted to the rank of admiral, August 12, 1819. Admiral Markham was elected Member of Parliament for Portsmouth in 1801, and, excepting from 1818 until 1820, he sat for that borough until 1826. His services were of a very distinguished nature: he was engaged in several actions, and captured several prizes. He died, Feb. 13, 1827. (Gent. Mag. xcvii. 363-4). -Westm. Indentures; Oxf.

FRANCKLIN; usher of Westminster School; Greek Professor, Cambridge; chap- lain to his Majesty; translator of Phalaris, Lucian, and Sophocles; died [March 15], 1784. [A gentleman of some celebrity in the literary world of his day. He was born in 1721 his father, Richard Francklin, car- ried on the trade of a bookseller, near the Piazza, in Covent Garden, and obtained notoriety as the printer of the famous op- position paper, called the Craftsman. Thomas Francklin took his degrees of B.A. 1742, and of M.A. 1746;-was elected Greek Professor, June 27, 1750, after a se- vere contest with Mr. Barford, of King's College. He proceeded D.D., and preached the commencement sermon at St. Mary's, on the installation of the Duke of Grafton as Chancellor of the University, in 1770. On the 2nd of January, 1759, he was in- stituted vicar of Ware and Thundridge, Herts, but resigned those cures for the vicar- age of Brasted, Kent, to which he was pre- sented by Archbishop Cornwallis, in 1777. He published a sermon, preached at St. George's, Bloomsbury, on the death of J. Sturges (Election 1742); from which we learn that he wished to have succeeded Sturges as lecturer to that congregation. He held the like office at St. Paul's, Co- vent Garden; and, in November, 1767, was nominated one of the King's chaplains. His publications were numerous, and of a very miscellaneous character. His translation of the Epistles of Pha- laris, and of Cicero de Naturâ Deorum, ap- peared in 1749; the latter was accompanied by philosophical notes, and an inquiry into the astronomy and anatomy of the ancients. His Sophocles was published in two vo- lumes, 4to, in 1759, and his Lucian in 1780. 66 Besides several sermons, delivered on par- ticular occasions, Dr. Francklin gave to the public, in 1765, a volume of sermons On the Relative Duties ;"-two more volumes of sermons, on various subjects, appeared after his death, in 1785, to which a third was added in 1787: they are said to have been favorably received. In 1757, he undertook to bring out a peri- odical paper, called the Centinel, which was not attended with success, and was not con- tinued beyond the 27th number: he contri- buted to the Critical Review, and other pub- lications of that nature; he likewise wrote several pieces for the stage, but they are said to have been more remarkable for their number than their originality; they were acted, however, with considerable applause. Some of them are translations from the French. Churchill has given him a place in the Rosciad, among those who were rejected as unfit for the office of judge of the true successor of Roscius:- แ Others for Franklin voted; but 'twas known He sicken'd at all triumphs but his own." In 1750, he became involved in a dispute with the Heads of the University, which was kept alive for some time by acrimo- nious publications on both sides. It had its origin in a custom among the old West- minsters at Cambridge of celebrating the 17th of November, in honor of Queen Eliza- beth's accession. In the year 1749, a party of forty-six were assembled for that purpose, and Francklin was put into the chair. The party, they allege, was orderly in its behaviour, and about to depart, after a final toast to Dr. Nicoll's health, when they were visited by the proctor, and called upon to disperse. This, as the president and many of the company were Masters of Arts, was looked upon as an unwarrantable intrusion; and, as might have been ex- pected, some sharp words ensued. A com- plaint was lodged against them by the proctor before the Vice-Chancellor and Heads of Houses, who rather inclined to take the part of the University officer; pamphlets were published on both sides (one of them by Francklin), from which it would seem that the interference of the proctor had been characterized by unne- cessary harshness. In 1759, Dr. Francklin married a Miss Venables. Cole's MSS., xlv. 280. 349, Athenæ, F, 7; Cant.

He graduated M.A. 1747;-incumbent of Hawkhurst, Kent, from 1748 until 1751; -appointed chaplain to Lord Vere, 1750; -preacher at Market Harborough, Leices- tershire, 1754; and in that year proceeded B.D.;-D.D.

Dr. Parry mar- ried a daughter of Admiral Gascoigne, by whom he had a numerous family. He was a learned divine, and his published works were twelve in number; one only on mat- ters foreign to his profession: it was en- titled "Occasional Strictures upon a thing called Memoirs of the late contested Elec- tion," in which he vindicated the free- holders of Leicester from aspersions thrown on them in a pamphlet published in 1775: it appeared in 1776. He was also for se- veral years a magistrate for the county of Leicester, and served in that capacity with activity and intelligence.-Westm.

Inden- tures.] 4 [J. WILCOCKS, the only son of Dr. Joseph Wilcocks, successively Bishop of Gloucester and Rochester (see page 31). Mr. Wilcocks' mother was the daughter of John Milner, Esq., his Majesty's Consul at Lisbon. He was born, January 4, 1723, in one of the prebendal houses in Dean's Yard, and was sent to school at Westminster at twelve years old. In the first year after his admission at Christ Church he obtained the second of three prizes, the first of which was gained by W. Markham (Election 1738). He took the degree of M.A. in 1747. Mr. Wilcocks divided his time between literary pursuits and the relief of the necessitous, and other works of charity, to which latter objects he devoted his plentiful estate during his lifetime, and bequeathed large legacies at his death. He had improved his academical knowledge by foreign travel and constant study. He was chosen a Fellow of the Antiquarian Society in 1765. For some time he resided on his estate at Barton, in Northamptonshire, but afterwards removed to Lady Place, near Hurley, Berks, an estate bequeathed to him by his father's sister, Mrs. Williams, in which he had only a life-in- terest. He was, in every sense of the word, a philanthropist, and closed his benevolent life on the 22nd of December, 1791, at the Crown Inn, at Slough, whither he had gone to receive his rents. He died of paralysis, of which he had had a severe seizure in 1788. He is said to have compiled, for the use of Westminster School, an excellent work, called "Sacred Exercises," which was until late years in use there; and he wrote "Ro- man Conversations;" a work in two volumes, of some singularity, but also containing in- dubitable proofs of classical knowledge, a cultivated taste, and true piety and good- ness of heart. It appeared after his death, and at first anonymously, in 1792-94; but a second edition was published, with the au- thor's name, in 1797, the preface to which contained an account of the author. He also printed, in the Philosophical Transactions, an account of some Etruscan antiquities. The Carmina Quadragesimalia contain se- veral specimens of his Latin poetry. In a letter on his death, from Sir John English Dolben (Election 1768), it is said, that the Pope Clement XIII. was struck with such admiration at the consistent piety and be- nevolence of Mr. Wilcocks, when residing at Rome, that he called him the "Blessed Heretick."

James Impey was distinguished at school and at the univer- sity for proficiency in his classical studies. Proofs of his skill in Latin verse are pre- served in the first volume of the Carmina Quadragesimalia. He took the degree of M.A. in 1748; and, like his nephew, who lately so worthily filled one of the faculty places at Christ Church (Election 1799), was nominated a faculty student of Christ Church. He lived at Richmond, and for some time practised as a physician in that neighbourhood. He afterwards became a great traveller, and ended his days at Naples, Nov. 19, 1756. He was buried there, but his name, with the dates of his birth and death, are recorded on a monu- ment to several of his family, in the chapel of St. Paul, at Hammersmith. He published a Treatise on Comparative Anatomy, and left other works in manu- script. His younger brother, the celebrated Chief Justice of Bengal, was admitted into college in 1747.-Westm.

Beds, who was probably a relation of this Tanqueray; for Thos. Tanqueray, who took his M.A. degree at the same time as this David, was presented by him to the rectory of Tin- griffe, in 1751. This David Tanqueray was presented to the rectory of Bow-Brickhill, Bucks (on the resignation of Thos. Tanque- ray), Dec. 2, 1760; and, upon his death, E.

OSBORN, born 1723, the son of Captain Peter Osborn, of the Royal Hos- pital at Greenwich, who was the son of Sir John Osborn, of Chicksands, second ba- ronet of that family. No mention is made of this Charles in the lists of the entries into Trinity College in Cole's MSS; nor does his name occur among the graduates of that university. He held the commission of captain-lieutenant in the 60th regiment of foot. His mother was Mary, daughter of Francis, Lord Brudenell, and widow of Richard, fifth Viscount Molyneux.-Westm. Indentures; Betham's Baronetage, ii. 207.] 9 T. BARNARD, Dean of Derry, 1772; Bishop of Killaloe, 1780. [This prelate is well known by the epi- taph which Goldsmith wrote upon him in the "Retaliation":- "Here lies the good Dean, re-united to earth, Who mix'd reason with pleasure, and wisdom with mirth; If he has any faults he has left us in doubt, At least in six weeks I could not find them out, Yet some have declar'd, and it can't be denied 'em, That Slyboots was cursedly cunning to hide 'em." He was intimate with the great wits of his day, and besides the Royal Society, and the Club which is the subject of the poem quoted above, where he is reckoned as "Ven'son just fresh from the plains." He was a member of most of the literary societies in England and Ireland. His famous discussion with Dr. Johnson, as to whether a man was capable of im- provement after 45, in which the Moralist behaved with such gross rudeness, occurred at a dinner at Sir Joshua Reynolds's. The circumstances are amusingly told in a let- ter from Mr. Richard Burke to Mr. W. Burke (Election 1747), dated Jan. 6, 1773, which will be found in Burke's Correspond- ence, edited by Lord Fitzwilliam and Sir RICHD. BOURKE (i. 404-7). The Dean (who had been told by Johnson that "he had great room for improvement,") wrote a copy of verses upon the dispute, in which he playfully describes himself as obtaining different kinds of information from different people, and concludes with these sarcastic lines:- "Johnson shall teach me how to place In fairest light each borrow'd grace; From him I'll learn to write; Copy his clear familiar style, And, by the roughness of his file, Grow, like himself, polite." The anecdote is also admitted by Bos- well, who adds, that the Doctor and the Dean were afterwards very good friends. Walpole also narrates the circumstance, in a letter to Lady Ossory, Dec. 27, 1775. Dr. Barnard's appointment to the see of Killaloe and Kilfenora appeared in the London Gazette, Jan. 29, 1780; and he was translated to the united sees of Limerick, Ardfert, and Aghadoe, in 1794. The Bishop was twice married, and had an only son, at whose house, at Wimbledon, he died, at the age of 80, June 7, 1806.m Bishop Barnard was the eldest son of the Bishop of Londonderry (Election 1717), and as such graduated M.A. at Cambridge in 1749. A letter from the Bishop to the great Mr. Burke, is published in the correspondence already referred to (ii. 463). It is dated April 4, 1782, and congratulates that states- man on his appointment as paymaster-ge- neral.-Cant.

(Grand Compounder) at Brasenose College, Oxford, 1751; and proceeded D.C.L. Jan. 27, 1759; he was inducted into the family living of Amersham, Bucks, October 26, 1753, and was also rector of St. Luke's, Chelsea. He died possessed of both these rectories, April 12, 1775, and was buried at Amersham, where a monument was erected to his memory and to that of his wife (whom he survived ten years) by his bro- ther.

In 1771, he was appointed Judge Advocate General, which employment he held until Feb. 1806; and, during the frequent intercourse which his duties obliged him to have with the King, won the favor and esteem of George the Third in no ordinary degree. In 1772, he was nominated Chancellor of Salisbury; -he was also made Chamberlain of the town and borough of Brecon, and of the counties of Brecon, Radnor, and Glamorgan; -and the University of Oxford conferred on him the honorary degree of D.C.L.

He entered Parliament, as Member for the town of Brecon, in April, 1778, and sat for that borough until May, 1787, when he accepted the Chiltern Hun- dreds, and was elected for the county, which he represented until 1806. He died 328 at Tredegar, on the 7th of December in the same year. By the will of his brother-in- law, John Morgan, Esq., Sir Charles Gould became possessed of his property and of that of his uncle, Sir William Morgan, of Tredegar, K.B.; and he assumed, in 1792, by royal licence, the surname and arms of MORGAN: he was also created a baronet on the 30th of October in that year, and was sworn of the Privy Council, Sept. 22, 1802.

He began a translation of Plautus; but died, leaving it unfinished, 1768. [It would seem from the reputation in which he was held by his contemporaries, that Bonnell Thornton's natural abilities were of a very high order, and he had bestowed upon them considerable cultiva- tion. He obtained, indeed, a celebrity un- usual in one who apparently aimed at little more than being a wit, and a constant writer in magazines, and similar publica- tions, then so much in vogue; but those with whom he associated were, like himself, men of ability, and emulous of literary fame; and some of them were allowed a longer space on earth than was the lot of the sub- ject of this notice. Of these associates we may select Churchill (Admissions 1745), William Cowper, the poet (page 336), G. Colman, and Robert Lloyd (Election 1751). They were all, by some years, his juniors; but all (except Churchill), together with three other West- minster men, one of them, Joseph Hill, Cowper's correspondent, composed the NON- SENSE CLUB; and from Thornton's intimacy with Cowper, who was only two years his junior, and with Colman, he became ac- quainted with the others. But it is with Colman that Thornton was more particularly allied. They had been intimate, notwithstanding the disparity of eight years in their standing, at Oxford, where Thornton probably kept his residence for a longer period than usual, and their intimacy was continued after they removed to London. Thornton commenced his career as author by contributions to the "Stu- dent, or Oxford and Cambridge Miscel- lany," a periodical of which Christ. Smart was a principal manager, and in which Drs. Johnson and Warton occasionally wrote. His next work was a publication under his, own direction, which he called, "Have at ye all, or the Drury Lane Journal," in rivalry of Fielding's "Covent Garden Jour- nal;" but this, after a few numbers, was discontinued. He also wrote several papers in the "Adventurer," the periodical con- ducted by Dr. Hawkesworth on the cessa- tion of the "Rambler." One of his papers (No. 9), on sign-post painting, is dated Dec. 2, 1752; and in this seems to have ori- ginated the humorous frolic-which he ex- ecuted two years after, when the Nonsense Club was in its glory-of advertising, and actually opening, an "Exhibition by the Society of Sign Painters, of all the curious signs to be met with in town or country. This was in ridicule of the Society for the promoting of Arts, Manufactures, and Com- merce, instituted before the existence of the Royal Academy. An amusing "Cata- logue raisonné" was published of the col- lection, and this harmless joke was well taken by the town. But to return to Thornton's academical life: he took the degree of M.A. in 1750; and, as his father, an apothecary, in Maiden Lane, London, intended him to pursue the profession of medicine, he proceeded M.B. 1754. He and Colman began the "Con- noisseur," in January, 1754, whilst the latter was still an undergraduate. Their literary alliance continued unimpaired by jealousy during the whole work; and Mr. Southey remarks, "Beaumont and Fletcher present what is probably the only parallel instance of literary co-operation, so com- plete that the portions written by the re- spective parties are undistinguishable." In their closing paper they themselves de- clare, that "We have not only joined in the work taken altogether, but almost every single paper is the joint product of both; and as we have labored equally in erecting the fabric, we cannot pretend that any one 329 particular part is the sole workmanship of either." Both Cowper and Lloyd assisted them in the work, which was concluded on the 30th of September, 1756; and a sixth edition of it, in four volumes, was published in 1774. The above extract. has been given, as it seems, (together with the subsequent union and cordiality that existed between the authors about the translation of Plautus,) to form a complete refutation of the story of George Colman the younger, that his father was dissatisfied with his colleague's behaviour during the publication of the "Connoisseur;" and it should also be re- membered that the younger Colman only professes to have gathered this fact from a conversation which, when he was a boy in the under school at Westminster, he over- heard between his father and Mr. Jackson, the Oxford printer. A more serious charge against Thornton, that he was the prime seducer of Lloyd from the paths of virtue, has been likewise disproved by Mr. Southey, in that agreeable work, "The Life of Cowper," where Thorn- ton is also defended from having merited the ill opinion which Lloyd latterly enter- tained towards him. He had assisted that unfortunate man both with his pen and with his purse. Thornton and Colman continued their alliance in London, and became two of the original proprietors of the "St. James's Chronicle," a newspaper which they soon invested with a literary character far su- perior to that of its contemporaries. They also published together, "Selections from the Poems of eminent Ladies, with a short notice on their Lives," in two volumes. A new edition of this work was published in 1774. Thornton also contributed to numerous magazines and newspapers, especially the "Public Advertiser;" and published, at dif- ferent times, several humorous pieces. His burlesque ode for St. Cecilia's Day, entitled "The Salt Box," is an admirable specimen of these compositions: it was set to music by Dr. Burney, and actually produced at Ranelagh, in 1762, to a crowded audience. Dr. Johnson is said to have been a very great admirer of it, and was wont to repeat parts of it. In 1768, he published his "Battle of the Wigs, or an additional canto to Dr. Garth's Dispensary," in ridicule of the disputes be- tween the Fellows and Licentiates of the College of Physicians. In 1767, appeared the first part of his translation of the comedies of Plautus, in two volumes; it contained seven plays, one of which, the "Merchant," was the work of his old colleague, Colman, and another, of Mr. Warner, of Woodford, Essex, who, after Thornton's death, completed the work, in five volumes. Thornton dedicated his seven plays to Colman, with an affectionate allusion to their ancient alliance; it is in these words: "I can never forget the time when our literary amusements were so intimately blended, that we seemed to have one in- vention, one sentiment, one expression." * * * "I shall never repent my having dipt my pen in ink, since it gave me an op- portunity of cultivating a social, as well as literary, connexion with you.' And, after regretting that they were not again. actual partners in the undertaking, he adds, "I confess, in the pride of my heart, that one great inducement for my engaging in this task was the hope that our names that our tra would be mentioned together as the trans- lators of Terence and Plautus; though I cannot aspire to an equal share of reputa- tion with the author of The Jealous Wife,' or the joint author of 'The Clandestine Marriage."" To the merits of the transla- tion there is the high testimony of Mr. Southey, who says, "Thornton's part is, as far as it goes, one of the best versions in our language from any ancient author. The skill with which he has compensated, by correspondent playfulness of wit, for what it was impossible to translate, is per- haps unrivalled." Thornton was born in Maiden Lane, Lon- don, in 1726, and died in the metropolis, on the 9th of May, 1768. No collection has ever been made of his fugitive pieces. Though he had devoted his brilliant talents to the ephemeral renown of being a wit, and though he had at one time lived in some intimacy with Churchill and Lloyd, yet neither he nor Colman ever "ran to the same excess of riot" as they did ;-firm believers in the truths of revealed religion, they never hesitated to avow their con- tempt for the infidelity of their day, nor did they ever, in their writings, inculcate anything which violated the rules of public morality. Thornton's character has been elegantly drawn by his friend, Dr. Joseph Warton, in the inscription on the monu- ment over his grave, in the east cloister of Westminster Abbey, which is here sub- joined :- "Bonnell Thornton, armiger, e vicinâ Scholâ regiâ ad ædem Christ.

[This was the eldest son of the sixth Viscount Stormont; he early distinguished himself by the progress he made in his classical studies, which he pursued so steadily that he had through life the repu- tation of being an excellent scholar, and especially learned in the Greek language. Of his early compositions there are extant some English verses, which he wrote for the Oxford collection of poems, on the death of the Prince of Wales, in 1751; and several specimens of Latin versification. among the Carmina Quadragesimalia. In after life, he filled many important offices, and conducted various embassies. 331 He spent some time upon the Continent after his father's death in 1748; and, in 1754, was elected one of the sixteen Re- presentative Peers for Scotland, and had that honor conferred upon him in the six following Parliaments. In 1793, he suc- ceeded to the Earldom of Mansfield, in the county of Middlesex, upon the death of his illustrious uncle (Election 1723). He returned to England from Warsaw, in 1762, after the failure of the negotiations for peace which had been carried on in the preceding year. He was nominated Am- bassador Extraordinary and Minister Ple- nipotentiary to the Emperor and Empress of Germany, May 7, 1763, and sworn of the Privy Council, July 20, of that year. During his embassy at Vienna he enjoyed, to a great degree, the confidence of Maria Theresa, and her Minister, Count Kaunitz. He suffered a severe bereavement in the loss of the first Lady Stormont, a German lady, whom he had married whilst on his mission at Warsaw. To dissipate his thoughts from this calamity he travelled in Italy, where he remained some time. From the Imperial Court he was removed to that of France, October 10, 1772, and remained there until 1778. In 1778, he was made Chief Clerk of the Court of King's Bench. When the Rockingham Ministry came into office in March, 1782, he re- signed the seals of Secretary of State for the Northern Department, which he had ac- cepted under Lord North, Oct. 27, 1779. He was sworn into the office of Lord Pre- sident of the Council, in the Duke of Portland's Administration, April 2, 1783, and went out of office with his party in the December following. He was again appointed Lord President of the Council, December 17, 1794. The University of Oxford conferred on him the honorary degree of D.C.L., July 3, 1793; and he was likewise, in that year, elected Chancellor of Marischal College, Aberdeen. He resigned the office of Justice General of Scotland in 1795, and died at Brighton, September 1, 1796. His remains were interred in Westminster Abbey, in the same grave with those of the great Chief Justice, whose title he bore. His picture, by Romney, is in the Hall at Christ Church. He had several children by his second wife, Louisa, daughter of Lord Cathcart: the eldest son was admitted into College in 1790; the second in 1793; the third, the Hon.

He was first elected for the University upon the death of Sir Walter Wagstaffe Bagot (see Election 1750), February 3, 1768; but that Parlia- ment being dissolved on the 12th of March, Sir William was returned for his native county in the Parliament which met on the 10th of May. He had no seat in the House of Commons during the Parliament which begun in 1774; but in the Parlia- ments of 1780, 1784, 1790, 1796, 1801, and 1802, he again received the honor of being chosen burgess for the University. He retired from public life in 1806, and died, having reached the great age of 88, March 20, 1814. In the biographical me- moir of Sir Wm. Dolben, in the Gentleman's Magazine, he is said to have had a good reputation for scholarship, and to have devoted much time in his later years to the composition of Latin verses for his amuse- ment.

He was a cousin of George Selwyn, the celebrated wit, and brother of W. Sel- wyn (Election 1749). About 1755, he became curate to a college friend of his, Mr. Richard Congreve, who had the living of Blockley, in Worcestershire, and who applied to Dr. Johnson, Bishop of Worcester, to allow him to resign the pre- ferment in favor of Mr. Selwyn, whom the Bishop accordingly presented to it, October 22, 1761. In 1767, he took his M.A. degree at Oxford, and, in that year, was made rec- tor of Beverstone, with Kingscote annexed, Gloucestershire, in the gift of the Crown. He was chaplain to Lord Boston, who had married his sister, and in the commission of the peace for the counties of Gloucester and Worcester. He died at Blockley, pos- sessed of both the above-named livings, on the 10th of September, 1794.

["It is a great thing to be indeed a poet, and does not happen to more than one man in a century. Churchill, the great Churchill, deserved the name of poet." So wrote Cowper in 1786, when commenting on a wretched account of Churchill's life, which had lately been published. Although Churchill had not entirely be- longed to the coterie already alluded to in the notice on Bonnell Thornton (Election 1743), and had not been quite so intimate with Cowper as others, still, Cowper could not but know him well, not only from their school acquaintance, but from frequent in- tercourse in London; and, even in later times, when Cowper's views on religious matters had become so sensitive, that amiable man still clung with affectionate remembrance to his old schoolfellow, and with admiration to his poetical abilities. Churchill's must ever be a melancholy his- tory to any right-thinking mind; for such a story must exhibit advantages of educa- tion, of genius, and of a naturally fine dis- position, perverted from the good ways into which they had been directed by the care of a pious and amiable parent, to serve the arts of a selfish infidel, who, under the sacred name of liberty, had tried to raise the standard of sedition in the country. Churchill was the son of the Rev. Charles Churchill, rector of Rainham, Essex, and for many years lecturer in the church of St. John the Evangelist, Westminster. The future poet was born in his father's house in Vine Street, in February, 1731, and was sent to Westminster School, as a home- boarder, when he was about eight years old. The omission of his name from the ranks of those who were elected to the Universities, is accounted for by his having contracted a passion for a young lady, to whom, in 1748, he was privately married in the Fleet. His father received him and his wife, and entered him at Trinity College, Cam- bridge, in 1749; but it is not believed that he ever resided there. He lived for about a year with his father, being regular and domestic in his habits, and then removed to Sunderland: here he devoted himself to poetry for his amusement, until he felt compelled to prepare himself for holy orders, which he did with great assiduity during two years. When he had reached his 22nd year, he came into a small pro- perty in right of his wife, and came up to London to look after it. In the following year, he was ordained deacon upon the curacy of Cadbury, Somersetshire, and per- formed his new duties with great dili- gence and zeal. In 1756, having been ad- mitted to priest's orders by Bishop Sher- lock, he removed to his father's curacy at Rainham. His good character and reputa- tion for learning procured his ordination, though he had never, as has been already shewn, taken a degree at either Univer- sity. At Rainham he eked out the scanty means he possessed for the maintenance of his family by keeping a school-a disagree- able employment, and especially uncon- genial to his nature. On the death of his father, in 1758, the parishioners of St. John's elected him lecturer and curate of 335 their parish. He also helped to maintain himself in London by teaching the English tongue to the young ladies at a boarding- school, and by assisting young gentlemen to form their taste in classical literature. Thus far his duties seem to have been steadily performed. But it is not sur- prising that such drudgery should have been irksome to one of his genius and powers of mind: he naturally felt himself capable of greater things. At this time, too, domestic troubles and conjugal dif- ferences arose: his debts, occasioned by the expenses of his family, and his own and his wife's mismanagement, would have overwhelmed him, but for the kindness of Dr. P. Lloyd, his former master, and the father of his friend, Robert Lloyd (Elec- tions 1722 and 1751). A "kind, good man," to use Churchill's own words, who "Stretch'd out his hand, and brought me safe to shore." This was accomplished by inducing his creditors to accept a small composition; an arrangement which only delayed the evil days, for more and more evil they daily be- came. He was soon guilty of fresh extra- vagances, got reckless, and at last forsook the old paths in which he had walked for those of a false philosophy. In February, 1761, his disputes with his wife ended in a total separation. He now adopted poetry as his profession; and having offered two poems, "The Bard," and "The Conclave" a libellous satire on the Dean and Chapter of Westminster), to the booksellers in vain; and having been refused five pounds for the "Rosciad," he published the latter anonymously on his own account, in March, 1761. It was, as is well known, completely successful. At first it was supposed to be from the pen of his friend Lloyd, and was se- verely handled in the Monthly Review. Upon this, Churchill almost immediately produced "The Apology, addressed to the critical Reviewers." This was equally successful, insomuch that with the proceeds of these two works he was enabled to discharge in full those creditors with whom he had previously compounded; and it must be reckoned a trait of rare honesty that he so applied the money. He had probably about this time, perhaps earlier, been forced to resign his curacy and lectureship; and had seduced from her father's home a book- seller's daughter, an act for which, even in his worst moments, he felt the pangs of As for example, in "Gotham". "Why to view Would you thus cruelly those scenes unfold, Which without pain and horror to behold, Must speak me something more or less than man; Which friends may pardon, but I never can." remorse. As the associate of Wilkes, he now be- came involved in the prosecution instituted against that interested demagogue, for the celebrated No. 45 of the North Briton: he was only saved from arrest by the ruse of Wilkes, in calling him Mr. Thompson be- fore the messenger. This was on the 30th of April, 1763. In the November following he wrote the "Duellist," on the occasion of Wilkes' duel with Mr. Martin. In a year from that time Churchill was no more. He had gone over to visit Wilkes, then out- lawed, at Boulogne, and died there, on the 4th of November, of a miliary fever, at the age of 34. A good notion of the rapidity of his powers of composition may be formed from the fact, that his first work was published in 1761, and his last in 1764. A second edition of "The Rosciad" was published in 1762, a third of "The Ghost," in 1763, and a fourth book added in the same year. Thus he had been known to the world, poetically and politically, for rather less than four years; but during that time he was-to use Mr. Southey's expression- 66 one of the most conspicuous persons in England, and certainly the most popular poet;"-and Walpole calls him, "a meteor that had shone but four years, and never so brightly as he might have done;" adding this description of his powers:-"Churchill could hew out a block that would brave time and last to posterity, but stood not near enough to seize the lineaments and shades that distinguish a portrait, and ex- hibit a resemblance to the eyes of contem- poraries." But though Lord Orford could not deny the powers of composition which Churchill possessed, nor the reputation they had acquired for him, he speaks even less favorably of his objects, and sincerity of purpose, than Mr. Southey:-"Imagina- tion, harmony, wit, satire, strength, fire and sense crowded in his compositions; and they were welcome for him: he neither sought nor invited their company. Careless of matter and manner, he added grace to sense, or beauty to nonsense, just as they came in his way; and he could not help being sonorous, even when he was unintel- ligible. * This Bacchanalian priest, now mouthing patriotism, now rant- ing libertinism, the scourge of bad men, and scarce better than the worst, * * * * * * * *engaged with Wilkes in his war on the Scots; and sometimes learning, and, as often, not knowing, the characters he attacked, set himself up as the Hercules that was to cleanse the State, and punish its oppressors. Mr. Southey says, 66 Churchill was in- cluded, and is now considered, a regular 336 member of the corporation of poets. To this rank he is fairly entitled. And though it might seem that his poems, for their subjects' sake, might properly be relegated among those which formerly used, from time to time, to be collected under the title of State-poems, they are too good for this. Manly expression is their charac- teristic, deriving strength of expression from indignation; and they contain redeem- ing passages of sound morality and per- manent truth." Among the redeeming features in Churchill's character to which we may turn from its general rankness, may be cited the generosity of his temper, and the firmness of his friendship; the latter exemplified most strongly in his attach- ment to Lloyd, whose death so soon fol- lowed that of his friend; and to Wilkes, whom he believed to be a sincere patriot. But perhaps the manner in which, from the proceeds of his writings, he secured an annual provision to his widow, from whom he had separated himself, and also a small one to the unhappy person whom he had withdrawn from the paths of virtue, besides leaving a surplus to his two sons, is the most remarkable, as it is the most praise- worthy, circumstance in his history. By his will he requested Wilkes to collect and publish his works: Wilkes never per- formed this duty; and the few notes he had prepared were not published till after his own death, some 40 years afterwards. These contained nothing of any value. His works were collected in two volumes, and published by subscription. Churchill left also for publication ten sermons, with a sarcastic poem of dedication to Bishop Warburton. His body was brought over to Dover and buried in the old cemetery, and a monu- ment erected to him there, with a line from his own poems, little fit for a tomb-stone within hallowed ground. Wilkes erected to his memory a monumental pillar in the grounds of his cottage at Sandham, in the Isle of Wight, with this inscription: Carolo Churchill, Amico jucundo, Poetæ acri, Civi optime de Patriâ merito P. Johannes Wilkes, M.D.CC.LXV. The Rev. WILLIAM CHURCHILL, youngest brother of the poet, was also educated at Westminster, and was a person of genius and literary pursuits: amongst other pub- lications, he left a life and comment upon his brother's history, which was incorpo- rated into an edition of the poet's works, published in the early part of this century. He was vicar of Orton-on-the-Hill, Lei- cestershire, and died there, in June, 1804.- Southey's Life of Cowper, i. 93, ii. 153-69, vi. 9-10; Walpole's Geo.

He resided in the Temple for 12 years, until his unfortunate condition of body and mind drove him into retirement, which, even after the restoration of his reason, he never quitted. He published the first volume of his popular poems in 1782, and began his translation of Homer, November 12, 1784, which he finished in the summer of 1791. It was from his country retreat, too, that he indited those agreeable letters to his friends, which for sprightliness and purity of thought, as well as for simplicity and elegance of expression, are unrivalled in the English language.

[This amiable person, so celebrated for his accomplishments, and his love of litera- ture and the fine arts, was born at Taplow, in Buckinghamshire, June 23, 1730. His father, Colonel Mordaunt Cracherode, had sailed round the world with Lord Anson, and was appointed Governor of Minorca in 1753: his mother was, as has been already stated, sister to W. Morice (Admissions 1705). At school, as at college, and through- out life, he was a general favorite; and Mr. Cumberland, speaking of those who were at Westminster when he entered the school, thus describes the subject of this notice:- "Cracherode, the learned collector and mu- nificent benefactor to the Royal Museum, was in the head election, and at that time as grave, studious, and reserved as he was through life; but correct in morals and ele- gant in manners; not courting a promiscuous acquaintance, but pleasant to those who knew him, beloved by many, and esteemed by all." At Christ Church, his reputation for elegant composition, especially in Latin verse, stood very high, and three specimens of his abilities in this line are printed in the Carmina Quadragesimalia; they were written in 1748, and are said to have been his only publications; one other has, however, been discovered, a copy of Latin hexameters, on the death of Frederick Prince of Wales, published with the other Oxford poems on that subject, in 1751. He graduated M.A. in 1753;-entered into holy orders, and was for a short time curate of Binsey, Oxon. But, as his fortune was an ample one, he soon established himself in London, and began those collections of books, prints, medals, minerals, and other objects of virtù with which his name is inseparably con- nected. He was not a mere collector; no one was ever better qualified by great erudition, sound judgment, and accurate taste, to ap- preciate the merit of his valuable collec- tions. These collections he constantly in- creased, even to the day of his death. He left, as is well known, the whole of his library of books to the British Museum, with the exception of his Polyglott Bible, to the Bishop of Durham, and his "Thuanus" to Dr. Jackson, Dean of Christ Church. He also left his medals and drawings to the national collection. After the death of his father and mother, the one in 1777, and the other in 1784, he succeeded to a very large property in the funds, a good estate in land, and a house in Queen Square, Westminster. In the landed estate was the manor of Great Wymondley, Herts, which had been a purchase of his father's from the Grosvenor family; it is held of the Crown, by the singular service of presenting to the King the first cup which he drinks at the coronation, a service which was per- formed by Colonel Cracherode at the coro- nation of George III., and which his son lived in dread of being called upon to re- peat. Devoted to his literary pursuits, he passed a quiet, and, in some respects, a re- tired, life; and (although the fact sounds incredible to those who live in days of railroads) he seldom went further from Queen Square than Clapham: the longest nat X X 338 journey he ever made from London was to Oxford; and though he had a very curious chestnut tree on his estate in Hertfordshire, he only knew it by a drawing which had been made of it. His attainments were various and con- siderable, his sentiments liberal, and his manners amiable. He gave away large sums in charity, but managed his bounties with great secrecy, and by his whole con- duct strove to lead a life worthy of the sacred profession upon which he had en- tered. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society; and was chosen a Fellow of the Antiquarian Society in 1787; and afterwards elected a Vice-President of the latter Society. He died in Queen Square, on the 6th of April, 1799, and was interred near his mo- ther's grave in the eastern cloister of Westminster Abbey. He left no will, but some memoranda, bequeathing his collec- tions to the country, 1000l. to Christ Church, and a like sum to Westminster, legacies to Dr. Cyril Jackson and his bro- ther William (Elections 1764 and 1768), besides certain charitable bequests. 1783, he gave 107. 10s. to the Bodleian, to be laid out in books. In The following lines allude to him, as a frequenter of the Literary Coffee House, at the Mews Gate: they are from the "Pur- suits of Literature.' 22 "Or must I, as a wit, with learned air, Like Doctor Dewlap, to Tom Payne's repair, Meet Cyril Jackson and mild Cracherode, 'Mid literary gods myself a God? * * * * * * * Hold! cries Tom Payne, that margin let me measure, And rate the separate value of each treasure.

He soon began the career of an author: in 1755, he published "Orlando Furioso," in Italian and English, with a preface, and a portrait engraved by R. Strange. This work was in two volumes, and dedicated to King George II. His next publication was an attack on Archibald Bower, in which "his many essential omissions, and more essen- tial perversion of facts, in favor of Popery, were demonstrated." It was entitled, "Bower detected as a Historian," and ap- peared in 1758. In the following year he published the Satires of Ariosto, translated into English verse, with a preface and notes of the author's life. He graduated as M.A. of Christ Church, Oxford, June 26, 1760. In 1761, appeared "Experimental Mag- netism, or the Truth of Mr. Masson's Dis- coveries in that branch of Natural Philo- sophy approved and ascertained." Mr. Croker, with the assistance of several other persons, published also, in 1769, "The complete Dictionary of Arts and Sciences,' in three volumes. وو He was made rector of Igtham, Kent, in August, 1769, but vacated it in 1773, pro- bably from pecuniary embarrassments; for in the list of bankrupts of that year occurs the following entry: "Temple Henry Croker, Igtham, Kent, and Thomas Morris, of Craven's Buildings, Drury Lane, London, merchants."

[This was the fourth son of John first Earl of Buckinghamshire, by his second wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Bris- tow, Esq.;-and nephew to Lady Suffolk (see p. 257). He was elected Member of Parliament for St. Ives, in 1754, and for Beeralston in the three following Parliaments, from 1761 to the end of the year 1780. On the 17th of July, 1762, he was no- minated Secretary to the Embassy to Russia, his half-brother, the second Earl, being appointed Ambassador. He succeeded as third Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, Sept., 1793. He died, in his 70th year, November 13, 1804, at Nocton, and was there interred. He was a great patron, and at one time a manager, of the Opera in London. In He married Albinia, daughter of Lord VERE BERTIE. Two generations of his de- scendants were educated at Westminster School :-ROBERT HOBART, who succeeded him as fourth Earl, was born May 6, 1760; was a contemporary at the school with RICHARD BURKE, the son of the illustrious statesman. He began life in the army, and served in the American war; went to Ireland in 1779, and was appointed aide-de-camp to his father, the Lord Lieutenant. 1789, he was made Secretary for Ireland, under the Marquis of Buckingham, and continued in that post during Lord West- moreland's government. He was sworn of the Privy Council, May 1, 1793; and, in 1794, after his father's accession to the earldom, he was appointed Governor of Madras. Upon his return, after an able administration of the affairs of that presi- dency, he was called up to the House of Lords as Lord Hobart, November 30, 1798.

In 1765, he was appointed Under Secre- tary of State for the Southern Department, by Marshal Conway, but was removed to the Northern Department in 1766, and re- mained in that post till 1768: in that year he was elected M.P. for Great Bedwin, but canvassed Haslemere unsuccessfully in 1774. In May or June, 1777, he set out for India by the overland route; but, when he arrived at Madras, Lord Pigot, for whom he had brought despatches, was dead. He remained there but a short time, and re- turned to England as agent for the Rajah of Tanjore, in whose behalf he zealously la- bored, and not without success, with the home authorities. He returned to India in 1779, and obtained the appointment of Deputy Paymaster General of the King's troops in India; in this capacity he attended Lord Cornwallis, who had a great affection for him, in most of his campaigns. In 1782, he was made Commissary General of the Forces in the East Indies. He returned from India without having amassed a for- tune, and with his health much impaired, in 1793, and died in 1798. He published a translation of Brissot's Letters to his Constituents, for which a preface was writ- ten by his cousin Edmund. His manners were agreeable, and he possessed a vast stock of information.

DENISON CUMBERLAND, and grandson, by the mother's side, of Dr. Bentley;-born in the Master's lodge at Trinity College, Feb. 19, 1732. When he was between six and seven years of age he was sent to the school at Bury St. Ed- mund's, then conducted by the Rev. Arthur Kinsman, who educated his pupils on the Westminster system: he was removed to Westminster at the age of twelve, and placed in the "Shell;" at the early age of fourteen he was entered at Trinity College, Cambridge; obtained high wranglership in 1751, and was chosen a Fellow of his Col- lege. He had been, before this last success, made private secretary to Lord Halifax, whom he accompanied to Ireland; was made Crown agent for the province of Nova Scotia; was afterwards appointed, by Lord George Germaine, Secretary to the Board of Trade; and, in 1780, was sent on a secret embassy to Spain, where he resided more than a year. He is, however, best known as a dramatic writer. He died, May 7, 1811. He had four sons, all educated at Westminster School:- RICHARD CUMBERLAND went through the school with the reputation of a good scholar; was admitted of Trinity College, Cambridge; sailed as a volunteer in Sir Charles Hardy's fleet; entered the army in the First Regi- ment of Foot Guards; died in Tobago, whither he had gone to qualify himself for a civil employment in that island. married Lady Albinia Hobart, daughter of Lord Buckinghamshire (Admissions 1746). He GEORGE CUMBERLAND, upon leaving West- minster, went to sea, and was killed at the siege of Charlestown, on the day of his appointment to the command of an armed vessel. CHARLES CUMBERLAND entered the army as an ensign in the Tenth Regiment of Foot. WILLIAM CUMBERLAND entered the navy, and began his career by sailing with Sir Richard Hughes to America; commanded the Fly, sloop of war, in the Channel, and the Pique, frigate, in the West Indies; was made a post-captain in 1798, a rear- admiral in 1826. The Rev. DENISON CUMBERLAND, the fa- ther of the author, Richard, and grandson of Dr. Richard Cumberland, the pious Bishop of Peterborough, was also educated at Westminster, and admitted a Fellow Commoner of Trinity College: he was rec- tor of Stanwick, Northamptonshire; a pre- bendary of Lincoln; exchanged his rectory of Stanwick for the vicarage of Fulham; was appointed Bishop of Clonfert, 1763, and Kilmore, 1772; and died at the latter place in 1774.-Cumberland's Memoirs.] 6 [C.

Grad.; MS. note by Bp. of St. Asaph.] 8 W. HASTINGS, Governor of Bengal ; Governor General in the East Indies. [In beginning any account of this great man it is worthy of observation, as a sin- gular coincidence, that the same list of Admissions should contain two boys like Warren Hastings and Elijah Impey, so inti- mately connected by ties of friendship, so gifted with natural abilities, and so eager to improve them,-that both should be with- drawn from school before their time, to fol- low a totally opposite employment; and yet should, after many years of separation, meet again in the East, each at the summit of his profession, to renew the affection of their boyish days; and, finally, be involved in one common persecution on their return to their native land. Warren Hastings sprang from a family which, although at that time in poverty, had anciently lived in splendour in the manor house of Daylesford, a parish on the borders of the counties of Worcester and Oxford, of which his grandfather was rector. His father, a wild young man, whose Christian name was Pynaston, had been married when quite a boy, and without any means of supporting a wife, to a Miss Warren, by whom he had a daughter, af- terwards Mrs. Woodman, and the mother of T. B. Woodman (Election 1777), and a son, born at Churchill, Oxon., Dec. 6, 1732, and christened by the maiden name of his mo- ther, who died a few days after his birth. Warren thus came under the care of his grandfather, who was forced, by an expen- 343 sive lawsuit, to abandon the family seat, ac- cept the curacy of Churchill, and to send his grandson to a foundation charity school in that village. In 1740, however, the boy was confided to the care of his father's elder brother, Howard Hastings, who held a situation in the Customs in London. He sent his nephew first to a school at Newing- ton Butts, but, in two years time, he removed him to Westminster, where he became, by his abilities, and the industry and energy with which he applied them, the favorite pupil of Dr. Nicoll, and, by his amiable temper and captivating manners, the de- light of his schoolfellows. Between Impey and himself there was a peculiar intimacy. The death of Hastings' kind uncle re- moved him from the school where he was studying with such success; and his new guardian, a distant relation, being a director of the East India Company, after transfer- ring his ward to a more commercial place of education, shipped him off to India as a writer, in January, 1750. The kind old Dr. Nicoll is said to have offered, in the most liberal manner, to enable him to con- tinue his career at Westminster and the University, sooner than "lose the best scholar of the year." He reached India in October; and, after going through the usual routine of a junior servant of the Company, was, in 1755, promoted to be one of the Council at the factory of Cossimbazar, and was among the British prisoners taken by the Nabob, Suraj ud Dowlah, in the following year. He was appointed to carry on the negotiations between the Nabob and the illustrious Clive, who had just arrived at Fort William. With that discerning sagacity which was one of the characteris- tics of that extraordinary man, Clive fixed upon Hastings to be the Resident at the Court of the new Nabob, Jaffier Ally Cawn, at Moorshedabad, a mission which Mr. Hast- ings always looked back to as his first em- ployment of real responsibility. In August, 1761, he became a member of the Supreme Council at Fort William, of which Mr. Vansittart was the head, and continued a member of that discordant body until No- vember, 1764, when he returned to Eng- land, with the rare merit of having only attained a moderate competency during his absence of fourteen years. He remained out of employment, notwithstanding his solicitations to the contrary, for a consider- able period; in 1766, he was examined be- fore the House of Commons upon Indian affairs; and his evidence was considered most valuable, both by the Government and the Company: this, combined with the influence of Clive, procured his nomination, in the winter of 1768, as second in Council at Madras, with the right of succession to the first place at the Board, should it become vacant. In December, 1771, Mr. Hastings received the gratifying intelligence that his labors at Madras had been appreciated by his employers, and that, as a token of ap- probation, they had appointed him second in Council at Calcutta, which was, vir- tually, appointing him Governor of Bengal, as Mr. Cartier was known to be on the point of retiring from that post. He arrived at Calcutta in February, 1772; took his seat, as President of the Council, in the April following; and the letters from the Secret Committee to him clearly show that they relied almost entirely upon him, indepen- dently of his colleagues. Within little more than a year from this time the famous Regulating Act was passed, which came into operation on the 1st of August, 1774. By it Mr. Hastings was declared the first Governor General of India; but, at the same time, it appointed four other gentle- men members of the Supreme Council, the last of whom was the notorious Mr., after- wards Sir Philip, Francis. The opposition which this man raised in the Council against Hastings, and the important con- sequences to which they led, are matters which have been too often recorded in his- tory to call for repetition here. It will be sufficient to bear in mind that these dissensions continued, with few and but short intervals of peace, from the arrival of the new members of Council, in October, 1774, until December, 1780, when Mr. Francis returned to England, to satisfy his vindictive disposition, by stirring up calum- nious reports against Mr. Hastings, to de- stroy the fair fame and mar the bright prospects to which such a man might justly have looked forward on his return home. Nor were his expectations wholly disap- pointed, though he failed in procuring the ignominious recall of the object of his hatred. Mr. Hastings did not leave Calcutta until February, 1785: he arrived at Plymouth on the 19th of the following June. He met with the most gratifying reception from various quarters-the King and Queen, the Board of Control, and most of the Ministers, -the Court of Directors; all but the knot of men who, poisoned by Mr. Francis' calumnies, and stung by the still recent defeat of their East India Bill, were medi- tating the most savage persecution against him. This persecution was begun on Feb- ruary 17, 1786, by Mr. Burke's moving for the production of correspondence, in order to his impeachment by the Commons of England, and lasted until the conclusion of the trial, on the 23rd of April, 1795. The 344 actual trial upon the impeachment did not begin until the 21st of May, 1787; and when it ended in his triumphant acquittal, it left him a ruined man. The expenses of his defence, during these eight years, had been enormous, and had literally exhausted the small fortune he had brought back with him from India. It is true that, in the au- tumn of 1788, he had succeeded in realizing one of the fondest dreams of his early youth -the repurchase of the Daylesford property, the possession of his ancestors during many generations; but had this, and all else that he had, been sold at the close of his trial, the proceeds would but barely have freed him from debt. He justly felt that he had a claim against the nation for the reim- bursement of the necessary expenses of his trial, but from that quarter he received no assistance. The Court of Directors of the East India Company, under these circum- stances, at the motion of the Court of Pro- prietors, not without opposition on the part of the Government, settled an annuity upon him for a certain number of years, coupled, however, with conditions which rendered necessary a second and a third appeal to their liberality to release him from them, which was at length effected in 1804; and when the term for which the annuity was granted, expired, it was renewed to him for the term of his natural life. Mr. Hastings then retired to Daylesford, where he built the present house, and de- voted himself to the society of his friends and to horticultural and agricultural pur- suits, and so remained, with one or two brief intervals, neglected by a country whose finest colonial dependency his abili- ties and rare administrative talents had not only preserved, but largely increased. He had, indeed, during the course of his prosecution (as he had also on the occasion of his departure from India) received from. those over whom he had ruled the most affectionate testimonies to the beneficence and sagacity with which he had adminis- tered the government of India, in the nu- merous addresses which the natives sent over to him during the season of his ad- versity. And, in 1813, he received the homage of the legislature of Great Britain to his virtues and abilities, when he was called upon for his evidence upon the re- newal of the Company's Charter. As he left the House of Commons, where, as well as in the House of Lords, he was al- lowed a seat, to use his own words to Mr. C. D'Oyley, "all the members, by one si- multaneous impulse, rose, with their heads uncovered, and stood in silence till I had passed the door of their chamber. The house was unusually crowded. The same honor was paid me, though, of course, with a more direct intention, by the Lords. I consider it," he adds, with his wonted mo- desty, "in both instances bestowed on cha- racter, not on the worth of any information which they had drawn from me; for your father knows that I am in a singular de- gree deficient in the powers of utterance." He was also, in the following year, unex- pectedly summoned from his retreat to be sworn of the Privy Council, after which ceremony he was honored with a long audience by the Prince Regent. In 1813, Warren Hastings was selected, by the Uni- versity of Oxford, for the honorary degree of D.C.L., which was conferred on him, June 30; and from the expressions in his letters and diary, quoted by his biographer, he seems to have been deeply sensible of this distinction, and much gratified by the eloquent panegyric which the Professor of Civil Law pronounced upon him on pre- senting him for the degree. He attended at the great entertainment prepared for the Allied Princes, in Guild- hall, on the 18th of June, 1814; and the Prince Regent, "in a voice more audible than was necessary for the great personages to whom it was addressed," introduced him to the Emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia, and the Duke of Oldenburg, as one of the most deserving but ill-used men in the empire. "But I have made a be- ginning," continued his Royal Highness, "and shall certainly not stop there. He has been created a Privy Councillor, which he is to regard as nothing more than an earnest of the esteem in which I hold him; he shall yet be honored as he deserves." He presided also at a dinner given, July 11, to the Duke of Wellington, by the gen- tlemen connected with India; and having attended some of the other festivals of that season of rejoicing, he returned to his re- treat, with little additional honor beyond the fair words of the Prince Regent. It is wonderful to think of his having under- gone, in his 82nd year, all the fatigues which these ceremonies imposed upon him. He continued his correspondence with his friends till within a very short period of his death. The last letter which has been published, dated April 18, 1818, to the son of his old friend, Sir Elijah Impey (to whom he had transferred the friendship he had held for the father), is an extraordinary proof of the vigour of his intellect to the last. He closed a life, spent in doing good, by an act that was a fitting termination to such a beginning: in the autumn of 1816, he rebuilt the parish church at Daylesford, and, before two years had elapsed, his re- 345 mains were interred in its churchyard. He breathed his last amidst the tears of affec- tionate relatives, August 22, 1818, having nearly completed his 86th year. It is remarkable that, highly accom- plished and cultivated as his mind was, the only works he ever published were,-some Memoirs, written, as he says in the Adver- tisement, "with no other design than to preserve and concentrate all the miscella- neous transactions of the three last months of my administration, while they were yet recent in my remembrance:" these me- moirs were written during his voyage home, and printed in 1786: only a few copies were issued; but a new edition, with ex- planatory notes, by somebody else, was published in the following year-and a small tract on the means of guarding dwelling-houses, by their construction, against accidents by fire.-MS. note to List in British Museum; Westm.

[This was a youth destined by Providence to attain celebrity in his profession, to be traduced by the malice of one against whom he had pronounced an honest judg- ment from the Bench-destined to have the calumnies of his enemies revived to blacken his memory after his death-de- stined, too, with rare good fortune, to have a son able and willing to devote many years of labor to the pious task of clearing away the aspersions cast on the memory of an honored parent. How truly, had he been able to see so far into futurity, might he have exclaimed at the birth of this child, "I shall not be ashamed when I speak with my enemies in the gate." Elijah Impey was the youngest brother of J. Impey (Election 1741), to whose fra- ternal superintendence he was indebted for the direction of his education. He was born at Hammersmith, June 13, 1732, and was placed in the Petty form in West- minster School before he had completed his seventh year. During his Westminster school-days he was a leader in all manly sports, but not to the exclusion of the more important objects of education, as his suc- cess at Cambridge testifies. He was ad- mitted a pensioner at Trinity College, Cam- bridge, December 21, 1751. His attain- ments procured him a scholarship, in 1752; and in the examination for the degree of B.A. he was second on the Classical Tripos list; he was also tenth wrangler, and junior Chancellor's medallist. In 1757, he was elected junior, and, in 1759, senior fellow of Trinity;-in the latter year he took his M.A. degree.viplalato He was called early to the bar, having been entered at Lincoln's Inn rather before he went to Cambridge; he was accordingly able to begin his profession, November 23, 1756. He went the Western Circuit; and was appointed Recorder of Basingstoke, in April, 1766; but it was not until after he had distinguished himself in a difficult cause that his business became very profit- able. His reputation was considerable enough to warrant Lord Apsley, the Chan- cellor, in recommending him for the im- portant office of Lord Chief Justice of Cal- cutta, a recommendation which his friend, Lord Shelburne, gladly accepted; and con- siderable enough to induce all his friends to dissuade one so certain to rise as high in England, from accepting even that digni- fied position: the claims of a numerous family decided him upon accepting this honorable offer, and the effort of separating himself from much that he held dear was rendered easier by the prospect of finding his earliest, and, perhaps, it is not too much to say, his dearest, friend, Warren Hastings, at the head of the government at Fort William. This is not the place for entering into all the proceedings at Calcutta, the quarrels in the Council of India, the disputes between the Council and Supreme Court, the tem- porary estrangement which Sir Philip Francis managed to create between the two friends, Hastings and Impey-these are all minutely and faithfully set down in the recently published memoirs of Sir Elijah's life. It will be sufficient to allude to the successful exertions of Mr. Francis to procure the recall of the Chief Justice, in 1782-to the pamphlets he published against him-to six charges of impeach- ment which Sir Gilbert Elliot brought against him, in December, 1787, and to the triumphant manner in which he was ac- quitted by the House of Commons, after the defence which he made on the first charge only, that of the trial of Nuncomar, at their bar, in February, 1788. This speech he afterwards published, as he did also a pamphlet which he wrote, in "Refu- tation of a pamphlet, entitled the answer of Philip Francis, Esq.," which contained a speech made by that gentleman twenty- three days after Sir Elijah's defence. Sir Elijah Impey received the letter, de- siring him to come home and answer the charges connected with the trial of Nunco- mar, on the 27th of January, 1783; but, from the position of the French fleet in the Bay of Bengal, was unable to leave Calcutta Y Y 346 until the close of that year. All classes of the community united in offering him most gratifying testimonials of their respect for him, and of their regrets at his departure; and his arrival in England, about Mid- summer, 1784, was hailed with joy by the survivors among his old friends, whose names had already become distinguished both in the political and legal world. He continued nominal Chief Justice, and as such was received at Court, in 1784, and up to the 10th of November, 1787; but he had resigned his office more than a year before the last date, and refused the offers made him of returning to Calcutta as Chief Justice, with a seat in the Council. At the general election of 1790, he made an un- successful attempt to carry the borough of Stafford against Mr. Sheridan; but suc- ceeded better at New Romney, Kent, which he represented during that Parliament. Sir Elijah had resided in Essex, and in Wiltshire after his return home; but, in 1794, removed to Newick Park, Sussex, where he spent the remainder of his days, happy in his family and friends. He went to Paris with his family after the peace of Amiens, and was in that capital in Decem- ber, 1803, when orders were issued by Bona- parte for detaining the English: he escaped being sent to Verdun, and, in June, 1804, managed to procure passports to return to England. Sir Elijah died at Newick Park, on the 1st of October, 1809, and was interred in the family vault at Hammersmith, where there is a plain monument to his memory. For an account of four of his sons, who were educated in college, see Admissions 1778, 1798, and 1799, and Election 1799. These few remarks on this eminent lawyer have been chiefly taken from the work alluded to in the course of them. The writer of them is sensible that the sketch is very incomplete, and very far from doing justice to the subject; but it was difficult to say less upon so distin- guished a son of Westminster, and more might have trespassed too much upon the filial pages of the memoirs. Such as they are the editor dedicates these few lines with affectionate respect to the me- mory of the late E. B. Impey, Esq., whose indulgent partiality, and kindness, he ex- perienced during many years.-Westm. In- dentures; Cant. Grad.; MS. note to List in British Museum; Macfarlane's Indian Em- pire, i. 219-20. In relating Sir E. Hannes' present to the King's Scholars (p. 197), an account of the other Pocula belonging to them was pro- mised under Sir E. Impey's name. The most remarkable of the two pieces of plate was presented about the year 1777, by certain persons in India, who, having been educated at Westminster School, wished to send home some mark of their constant affection for the school. It is a hand- some silver drinking cup, ornamented by elephants' heads, the probosces of which form the two handles. This goblet was made the subject of an epigram, addressed to Sir E. Impey, who was present at the Election dinner in 1801. The composition of this epigram was intrusted by Dr. Wing- field (Election 1778), to Mr. Impey, and the verses were spoken by the late Dean of Wells (Election 1801). The verses, and an account of this compliment to Sir Elijah, will be found at p. 378-9 of Mr. Impey's book. The inscription engraven on the cup is as follows:- - Alumnis Regiis Schola Westmon: ipsi plerique Alumni, d. d. d. Warren Hastings. Elijah Impey. Geo. Templer. Edw. Hay. Joh. Wombwell. Gul. Markham.

[This respectable divine was the son of the Rev. Andrew Burnaby, and was born in 1732, at Ashfordby, in Leicestershire, to which living his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, had, successively, pre- sented themselves. Upon his leaving school he was entered at Queen's College, Cam- bridge, and took the degrees in arts in 1754 and 1757. In 1759 and 1760, he tra- velled through the North-American Settle- ments, and the account which he printed of these travels went into three editions;- after this he became chaplain to the British factory at Leghorn, and remained for five years at that place. During the last year of his residence there he was intrusted by the Government with the management of the Consular business, in the absence of Sir John Dick, under the designation of Proconsul. In Dec., 1769, he was nomi- nated to the vicarage of Greenwich, on the resignation of Dr. Hinchliffe (Election 1750); and retained that living, together * with his archdeaconry during his life. He proceeded D.D. 1776;-and died at Black- heath, on the 9th of March, 1812. Dr. Burnaby was a writer of some eminence; he had taken advantage of his appoint- ment at Leghorn to make excursions into almost every part of Italy, and had like- wise visited Corsica. He published, for circulation among his friends, an account of his tour in that island, in 1766, accom- panied by a series of original letters from General Paoli to the author, referring to the events that had taken place in the island from 1769 to 1802. This appeared in print in 1804; he likewise printed seve- ral sets of sermons and charges which he had preached. His widow (the daughter and heiress of John Edwyn, Esq., of Bagrove, co. Leices- ter) outlived him but ten days.-Westm. Indentures; Cant. Grad.; Hasted's Kent, i. 34; Nichols' Leicestershire, I. ii. 466, iii. 288; Watt's Bibl. Brit.; Gent. Mag. lxxxii. 301-2.] 8 [B. FRODSHAM, born of an ancient Cheshire family, of which county he was himself a native. It is, apparently, the only instance of a boy admitted twice upon the foundation. Having run away from school after his first admission into St. Peter's College, in 1746, he returned to school, and was admitted in this year: but he again ran away, joined a company of players at Leicester, and received protection from JOHN GILBERT COOPER, Esq., of Thurgarton, Notts, who himself had been educated at West- minster. From Leicester he went to York, was manager of the theatre in that city, and acquired such a provincial reputation, as to be styled the York-Garrick; this praise, and the flattery of the low company he kept, marred talents which were sufficient to have won for him real dramatic fame. His vanity was so great that, in the only visit he paid to London, he employed him- self in instructing Garrick as to the right method of acting Hamlet; he returned to York, and died there, in October, 1768, having acted only three nights before: he was then only 35 years old; habits of dissi- pation not only deprived him of the benefit of his abilities and education, but brought his life prematurely to an end. A satirical poem written upon him, by a Mr. Robertson, in 1764, described his overweening vanity, and the flatterers who encouraged it. 66 Above mankind in his own mind he soars, Himself the idol he himself adores, Of coarse-spun flattery proud, we oft may view Frodsham, amid a low-liv'd, servile crew; Creatures who, spaniel-like, his footsteps tend, And to Sir Oracle with rev'rence bend, 349 A.D. 1749.

In the course of twenty years after we left school I saw him but twice, once when I saw him at Oxford, and once when he called on me in the Temple. He has a brother who lives about four miles from hence, a man of large estates." (Mr. Chester.) * * * "I felt much affection for him: and the more so, because it was plain that after so long a time he still retained his for me. He is now at his brother's; twice he visited me in the course of last week, and this morning he brought Mrs. Bagot with him. He is a good, amiable man, and she a most agree- able woman. 29 * Cowper again says, when giving the rea- sons for the compliment he had paid to Bishop Bagot, in his "Tirocinium :"-" In the second place, the brothers were all five my schoolfellows, and very amiable and valuable boys they were." Of these brothers-the sons of Sir Walter Wagstaffe Bagot, by the Lady Barbara Legge, sister of Lord Dartmouth-the eldest, WILLIAM, was born, Feb. 28, 1728; he was placed in the Petty at Westminster, and was in the highest form when he left the School: he had a great reputation for his compositions, both English and Latin. From Westminster he was removed to Magdalen College, Oxford;-took the de- gree of M.A. 1749;- and was created D.C.L. by the University, July 2, 1754. Upon leaving the University he went abroad, studied French and Italian for a year at the College at Angers, and thence proceeded to Italy, where he remained until the end of 1752. He was returned to Parliament, as Member for Staffordshire, on the retirement of Sir Walter Bagot, in 1754, and represented that county in Par- liament, until he was created Baron Bagot, of Bagot's Bromley, in 1780. During a great part of the time he sat in the House of Commons he was one of the chief leaders of the country party. He died, Nov. 22, 352 1798, in the 71st year of his age (see Election 1830 for one of his grandchildren). His eldest son, the present Lord BAGOT, was educated at Westminster School and at Christ Church. CHARLES, the second of these brothers, was born Sept. 1, 1730. After leaving Westminster he entered into the mercantile line; resided for some time at Canton, in China he returned thence in 1754, and lived for some time in Spain. He took the name of CHESTER, in accordance with the will of his cousin, Sir Charles Bagot Ches- ter, of Chicheley, Bucks, who had left him his whole estate. Mr. Chester died, April 2, 1793; and his death forms the subject of a letter from Cowper, of May 4, in that year. Two of his sons were educated at Westminster. CHARLES CHESTER, Esq., of Chicheley, died, June 11, 1838; and AN- THONY CHESTER, captain in the 13th Regi- ment of Foot, who was killed at the landing in Egypt under Sir Ralph Abercromby, in 1801. RICHARD, the fourth, was born Nov. 13, 1733;-became a commoner of Brasenose College, Oxford, on leaving Westminster. A Sapphic ode, by him, is to be found among the Oxford poems, on the death of Frederick Prince of Wales, in 1751. He was afterwards elected a Fellow of All Souls, of which he graduated B.C.L. 1757, and D.C.L. May 17, 1764; and read law at Lincoln's Inn;-he abandoned, however, his profes- sional studies in 1761, and accompanied Lord Northampton as secretary to the em- bassy at Venice;-was subsequently made a Commissioner of Excise, and Receiver General of the Land Tax for the county of Middlesex. In 1783, he married the daugh- ter of Viscount Andover, who succeeded to all the estates of her brother, the Earl of Suffolk, upon which her husband changed his name to HOWARD. He died, Nov. 12, 1818, aged 86, and was buried in Ashstead Church, Surrey. His son-in-law, F. G. Up- ton, was elected to Cambridge in 1792. The fifth, and last of the brothers who were Cowper's schoolfellows, was LEWIS, already noticed at page 34. WALTER, the third, to whom this notice more immediately relates, was born, No- vember 2, 1731. He contributed a copy of alcaic verses to the Oxford poems, on the death of Frederick Prince of Wales, in 1751;-took his M.A. degree, 1757;-and, on the 29th of January, 1757, was presented to the family livings of Blithfield and Leigh, of which he remained rector during his life. In 1796, he was appointed pre- centor of St. Asaph, on the death of J. Marsden (Election 1749). He continued the correspondence with Cowper, which he had renewed as above described, to the close of his life. He died, July 10, 1806, and lies buried in the churchyard of Blithfield. Mr. Bagot was a scholar, and preserved his love of reading and his taste for clas- sical studies in full force until his death. He has had many descendants at West- minster School: his two eldest sons were elected to Oxford, in 1796 and 1797; for three of his sons-in-law, see Elections 1793 and 1816, and page 350; and for some of his grandchildren, see Elections 1821, 1824, 1828, 1840, 1848, 1850; and Admissions 1816, 1832, 1848.

SELLON was minister of the united parishes of St. James and John, Clerkenwell; one of the evening preachers at the Magdalen Hospital, and alternate afternoon lecturer of St. Andrew's, Holborn, 1762, and of St. Giles'-in-the-Fields, pre- ferments which are said to have produced an income of 1300l. a year, and to which he was elected by the choice of the several congregations. He was also at one time the proprietor and preacher of Portman Street Chapel. In 1763, Lord Pomfret no- minated him one of his chaplains. His preaching appears to have been much ad- mired, and mention is made in the Annual Register, in 1769, of a very large sum having been collected after a charity ser- mon of his preaching at the Magdalen. He died, at the age of 60, after a long and painful illness, July 18, 1790, and was buried in the church of St. James, Clerk- enwell. The epitaph on his monument there states that he had been curate and minister of that parish for 33 years. Mr. Sellon was engaged in a successful suit with a Mr. Hawes, against whom he proceeded in the ecclesiastical courts, for preaching in Lady Huntingdon's chapel, in his parish, without a licence. He pub- lished several sermons, preached on par- ticular occasions.-Nichols' Lit. Hist. viii. 492-9. 710; Watt's Bibl. Brit; Gent. Mag. 353 xxxii. 146, xxxiii. 203; Ann.

HINCHLIFFE, usher of Westmin- ster School; head master, 1764; master of Trinity College, Cambridge, 1768; Bishop of Peterborough [Dec. 9], 1769. [The father of this eminent prelate was Joseph Hinchliffe, who kept a livery stable in Swallow Street. This Young Hinchliffe graduated B.A. 1754; -M.A. 1757; and D.D., by Royal Letters, on his appointment as head master, March 8, 1764, a post which he held but a few months; -he was appointed an usher after he had taken his first degree, and continued so for seven years. He became acquainted with the Duke of Grafton whilst he was travelling with Mr. Crewe (afterwards LORD CREWE), of Crewe Hall, Cheshire, who had been under him at Westminster School. connection with Mr. Crewe was afterwards strengthened by Hinchliffe's marrying Mr. Crewe's sister. Dr. Hinchliffe had also the Duke of Devonshire under his tuition for two years. He was appointed one of the chaplains in ordinary to George III.; and, in 1766, vicar of Greenwich, which cure of souls he resigned, in Dec., 1769. He be- came Master of Trinity College, February 9, 1768; and in that year was chosen Vice- Chancellor of the University. He was ap- pointed to the deanery of Durham, Sept. 27, 1788, and permitted to hold it in com- mendam with his bishoprick, instead of the mastership of Trinity. The Bishop died at the palace at Peter- borough of an attack of paralysis, January 11, 1794, having passed a life, so far as worldly advancement is concerned, of un- interrupted prosperity. It may, however, be said of him, that, if his rapid elevation was in consequence of his acquaintance and connection with persons of influence and power in the state, yet he showed himself well qualified for the important stations he was called upon to fill. He was esteemed a learned man, and much ad- mired for his preaching, of which, however, he left but three specimens in print. He was also an eloquent, and at one time a frequent, speaker in the House of tion of the American disturbances. Bishop Hinchliffe was the first Master of Trinity who (in compliance with a memo- rial from the Junior Fellows, in 1788) ordered that no Senior Fellow should in- terfere with the election who was not an examiner. The window in Trinity College, painted by West, was his gift.-Westm. In- dentures; Cant.

He was indebted to the intercession of Bishop Newton (Election 1723), with Lord North, for his stall at Westminster. Dr. Newton, in his letter to the Premier (which the Bishop at first wrote anonymously, but afterwards acknowledged), enlarged upon the neglect which Dr. Smith had sustained, and compared it with the preferments con- ferred upon the former occupants of his laborious position. Dr. Smith died in his prebendal house, in Little Dean's Yard, March 23, 1808. Be- sides Bishop Newton's testimony, there is also that of Mr. Cumberland, to the con- scientiousness with which Dr. Smith ful- filled the labors of his office of head master. He was elected a trustee of the Busby Charity, April 10, 1766. He had two sons elected to Christ Church (Elections 1782 and 1791), and three of his grandsons have also been students of Christ Church (Admissions 1826, and Elections 1836 and 1837).-Westm.

[George Colman, the elder, was born in 1732, at Florence, where his father, Francis Colman, then filled the post of British Minister. His mother, Mary Colman, was a sister of Lady Bath, then Mrs. Pulteney, the wife of the celebrated leader of the oppo- sition against Sir Robert Walpole. George Colman was baptized at Florence, on the 18th of April; and we have it also, on his own authority, that George II. was his sponsor, and that Queen Caroline performed the same office for his elder sister. lost his father in April, 1733; but the charge of his education was undertaken by his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Pul- teney, who seem conscientiously and affec- tionately to have discharged this important duty. He was accordingly sent to West- He minster School-to which "seminary of sound and useful learning" Lord BATH himself had been indebted for his educa- tion. It will be observed that he remained in College for his fifth year, and some in- teresting letters, from his uncle and aunt, are printed in the Memoirs of the Colman Family, on the advantages of his leaving school in 1751 in preference to 1750. There also is to be found a poetical epistle, written in 1747, to his cousin, Lord Pul- teney, to whom he appears to have been sincerely attached; it first appeared in public in Lloyd's St. James' Magazine, and, considering the youth of the poet, displays much humour and originality. In Sep- tember, 1753, he began his career as an essayist, by contributing a paper (No. 90) to the Adventurer, conducted by Dr. Hawkes- worth; and, early in the following year, he was regularly established as the partner and coadjutor of Bonnell Thornton in the production of the Connoisseur. The literary fellowship which for many years subsisted between them has been related in sufficient detail in the account of Bonnell Thornton (Election 1743). Lord Bath had fixed upon the law as the future profession of his nephew, and had entered him at Lincoln's Inn long before he left Oxford, and was wont, in his letters, to hold up to him for his pattern, "Mr. Murray, the Solicitor-General." It would seem, too, from a promise that in an ap- proaching vacation he should be allowed 66 now and then to visit his favorite play- houses," that he had already shown symp- toms of his love for anything connected with theatrical representations. He took his Ba- chelor's degree in the early part of 1755, and had no sooner done so than he was summoned to town by his uncle to com- mence his legal studies: he appears to have been called to the bar very shortly after his arrival in town, and to have gone the Ox- ford Circuit. In 1758, he took the degree of M.A. He very soon made the acquaint- ance of Murphy, and, subsequently, that of Garrick, and, as the friend of the former, was selected to mediate with the great manager on behalf of Murphy's play of the "Orphan of China." That he was well known and reckoned an authority in the dramatic world, in 1761, is evident from Churchill's compli- ment to him in the "Rosciad," where, among the votes given on the judgeship, it is said that there were- "For Colman many, but the peevish tongue Of prudent age found out that he was young." But, in fact, it was about this time that his first piece was produced at Drury Lane 355 66 under Garrick's superintendence. This was Polly Honeycombe," which was acted for the first time, December 5, 1760, and was very successful. The author's name was studiously concealed from the public, and not even Lord Bath was acquainted with Colman's contributions to the drama, until after the triumph he obtained by the suc- cess of "The Jealous Wife," which was represented for the first time, February 26, 1761 he afterwards dedicated it to Lord Bath. Besides these graver matters, Col- man had published several light pieces. The two odes to Obscurity and to Oblivion, parodies of the odes of Mason and Gray, the joint composition of Colman and Lloyd, and devised at one of the meetings of the Non- sense Club, were printed in 1759. He was a great contributor on all subjects to the St. James' Chronicle, of which he and Thornton and Garrick were proprietors. In July, 1763, the celebration of the peace, at the Oxford commemoration, sug- gested to Colman a new paper, called the "Terræ Filius." prolonged The alliance with Garrick had ripened into such intimacy, that when Garrick went abroad, in the autumn of this year, leaving Drury Lane under the management of his brother, Mr. George Garrick, and Mr. Lacy, a share in the direction was assigned to Colman-an arrangement in which policy is said to have been joined with friend- ship-as Colman then possessed much in- fluence with the public press. Colman served Garrick truly during his absence, which was till the summer of 1765. During this time Colman revived Beaumont and Fletcher's "Philaster," with judicious alterations: it was afterwards printed for the Tonsons in 1763. He then produced the farce of the "Deuce is in Him," founded upon one of Marmontel's Tales, which had just been published in English by Lloyd and Denis. He also ad- dressed to Garrick some "Critical Reflec- tions on old English Dramatic Writing.' During this time also an event happened which was of great moment to Colman- Lord Bath died, July 7, 1764-leaving Col- man an annuity only, having, upon Lord Pulteney's death (as Colman was pre- viously aware), altered the will, by which he had left him an estate in the event of his son's death. Lord Bath's fortune went to his brother, GENERAL PULTENEY, who, in Col- man's words, "received me as a friend, and gave me to understand I was an enfant de famille that must not be overlooked or neglected." The General likewise urged him to give up his profession of barrister- "a call from the bar too tempting to be resisted." Colman, however, was wise enough not to rely upon General Pulteney's professions of intending to make good Lord Bath's designs for him, and although he gave up the bar he clung to the stage, which he liked better. He now, to use Mr. Southey's expression, "translated Terence with admirable skill." He had, indeed, from boyhood known the Roman dramatist; and, not unmindful of the place where he had first imbibed his pure Latinity, he de- dicated his translation of the "Eunuchus" to the King's Scholars of Westminster, and sent a copy of the work to the then Captain, Thos. Winstanley (Election 1766). He and Garrick had been for some time meditating the production of their joint comedy, the celebrated "Clandestine Mar- riage. It was delayed beyond the year 1765 by the refusal of Garrick to take the part of Lord Ogleby: this produced a dis- pute between the friends, which was after- wards made up, and this standard comedy was first acted in 1766. In the following year he bought the fourth share of Covent Garden Theatre, a purchase he was enabled to make by the money that accrued to him on the death of his mother, a few years before. In this place it must be mentioned that General Pulteney remonstrated against the specu- lation; but, after Colman's explanation, said that he could not expect him to give up his agreement, "nor shall I," he con- cluded, 66 cease to be your friend." He stated, however, to his solicitor, that he would "not be so much his friend;" and if he did not keep his word in the first in- stance, he did in the second; for, in his will, he entirely cancelled all that part of Lord Bath's, which he had promised to confirm, relative to the succession to the Newport estate, changing it into an an- nuity of 4007. a year. Colman, however, well knew that the General was not pleased with his theatrical connections, for it rests upon the authority of Bishop Douglas, that he had urged Colman to give them up, and especially Miss Ford (with whom Colman had lived as his wife, since 1761, and whom he afterwards married), and had offered, on his part, if Colman would consent to these terms, to bring him into Parliament and provide amply for him. The General died, Oct. 26, 1767. The arrangement for the purchase of Covent Garden brought on a coolness with Garrick; and Colman was involved in con- stant turmoil and quarrel with two of his copartners; he, however, entirely conducted the stage department as acting manager, and also worked for Covent Garden as an author with great perseverance and dili- gence until May, 1774, when he sold his ZZ 2 356 share and resigned his management. His coolness with Garrick had been completely made up, and their former friendly cor- respondence renewed. Colman was a member of the Literary Club, to which so many wits and statesmen then belonged, and is said to have borne his part well in those literary meetings. Disgusted with copartnership, he refused to accept a share in Drury Lane; but, upon Foote's retirement, he undertook the ma- nagement of the Haymarket upon his own account, and became sole lessee of the Summer Theatre, as it was then called, early in 1777; and he continued punctually to fulfil the laborious duties incident to such an engagement with the greatest ability and diligence, until 1786, when he was seized with an attack of paralysis, from which, however, he recovered sufficiently to pursue his avocations, by the aid of his son, now of an age to afford it to him, until a still more serious attack of the same disorder fell upon him, in 1789: it nearly deprived him of the use of one side of his body, and shortly afterwards occasioned a mental derangement, which rendered con- finement necessary; he died, August 14, 1794, aged 62. His dramatic works (includ- ing eight alterations of plays), amounted to 35, the last of which appeared in 1789. His masterly translation of Terence has already been cited. His translation of Horace's Art of Poetry, with notes, was reckoned an equally scholar-like produc- tion: it was published in March, 1783, and dedicated to the brothers Warton. Not only this translation, but his conjectures as to the object of the author in writing it, found great applause among the learned- among whom we may mention Dr. Vincent, Bishop Hinchliffe, the brothers Warton, and Horace Walpole; from all of whom are extant in print the most flattering tes- timonials to the value of the work. After an interruption of 20 years Cowper re- newed his intercourse with Colman by a letter, written at the end of 1785: Cowper had sent Colman his first volume of poems two years before, and had been much hurt at receiving no acknowledgment from his old friend. He vented himself in a poem composed with more fervour than usual on this neglect, to which that of Lord Thurlow had been added, and was criti- cised with it in the verses. Colman, how- some particulars of his life, to be edited by his executor after his death. It may not be amiss to append here a brief notice of GEORGE COLMAN, the younger, the son of the above G. Colman, by Miss Ford. He was born October 21, 1762, and was sent to Dr. Fountaine's seminary at Marylebone, then a fashionable stepping- stone to Westminster, of which, as well as of the worthy pedagogue and his family, he has himself given a humorous account. In 1772, he was sent to Westminster School, whence he was removed to Christ Church as a commoner, in January, 1779. Here he led so wild and extravagant a life that his father removed him in 1781 to King's College, Aberdeen, where he re- mained until 1783: he returned thence to London, and his first play was acted with success at the Haymarket, in 1784. His father, however, had chosen the bar for his son's profession, and took chambers for him in the Temple. This, however, was not at all to the taste of the son, who in- herited the same theatrical propensities which had marred his father's fortune. He assisted, after his father's seizure, in the management of the Haymarket, and, in 1789, when his father was quite disabled, took the whole management upon himself. He was appointed Lieutenant of the Yeomen of the Guard in 1820, an office which he was permitted to sell in 1831;- and Examiner of Plays, January 19, 1824, on the death of Mr. John Larpent (Admis- sions 1755). He died, October 17, 1836, having nearly completed his 74th year.-Westm. Inden- tures; Oxf. Grad.; Memoirs of the Colman Family; Southey's Cowper, i. 46–60, ii. 20-5.] 2 [W. L.

[Reference has already been made to the melancholy correspondence of Lloyd's career with that of Churchill (Admissions 1745). Bosom friends from their earliest days, each gifted with much poetical talent, readiness of wit, great facility of compo- sition, they differed in this, that Lloyd was more diffident of his own powers, and, though anxious for literary distinction, wanted the audacity of Churchill to make the distinction either profitable to his worldly prospects, or productive of future fame. For Lloyd, after great application to the lowest drudgery of magazine-writing, could not keep himself from gaol, while Churchill found his writings lucrative enough to enable him to pay his debts, provide for his family, and assist Lloyd. Lloyd was the son of the excellent under- master of Westminster School (Election 1722), and was born in Westminster. His course of extravagance began at Cam- bridge, if not at an earlier period, and although he enjoyed a reputation for scho- larship and abilities at the University, he obtained no abiding proofs that he had done so. He took the two degrees in Arts in 1755 and 1758. Before he left Cambridge he had been a contributor to the Con- noisseur, the weekly paper conducted by Thornton and his friend Colman, who repaid the assistance by a handsome men- tion of him in the Preface. As has been already related, Lloyd, on his return to reside in London, found there, or was soon joined by his old friends Colman, Cowper, Churchill, and Thornton, the last of whom, although of much older standing than himself, and an Oxford man, he knew from his intimacy with Colman. The irreli- gious opinions and mode of life of Churchill, with whom he chiefly lived, and their con- nection with Wilkes, confirmed him in his distaste for the profession of a teacher of youth, upon which he had entered under his father's auspices, and still more for that of a clergyman, to which he would naturally have looked for an honest and honorable maintenance. He gave it up, therefore, and, like Churchill, flung himself for sup- port upon his own writings, which bear testimony that he found in this employ- ment no less drudgery than in his former one. Like Churchill, too, as he lived much upon the excitement of the theatres, the first of his publications, which obtained for him any portion of his ephemeral re- putation, was "The Actor." This came out in 1760, and was addressed to Thornton. Mr. Southey says that it was written "with his characteristic ease, and more than his usual vigour," and that he showed himself by it "a good stage critic." it" Lloyd for some time conducted the poetical portion of a periodical paper called the "Library," and he also published a quarto volume of his poems. After which, in the language of one of his friends, we "Behold in monthly drudgery mis-employed, The wit and classic elegance of Lloyd." And ask- "How shall the bard bring fancy, doom'd to eke, With sense or nonsense, through five sheets the week." He bound himself to the publisher of the St. James' Magazine to edit that monthly publication under his own name: the first number appeared in September, 1762. In executing this wearisome task he received great assistance from his friends. From C. Denis he obtained the most support: of his Westminster friends, Thornton contri- buted very frequently, Colman sometimes, and even Cowper once or twice. Not- withstanding this assistance from friends, and his own readiness of composition and steady application, he found it impossible to continue this Magazine, and the publi- cation came to a conclusion in 18 months. This failure was a signal to his creditors to arrest him. His father probably felt that any relief he could afford him would be but temporary, and insufficient to supply his wanton extravagance; "else," as Mr. Southey remarks, "the good old man, who had saved Churchill, and had loved him as the friend of his son, would not have de- serted the son." Churchill supplied his friend with a weekly allowance, to maintain him decently in the Fleet, and Lloyd per- severingly continued his drudgery for the booksellers; and, in conjunction with Denis, brought out a translation of Marmontel's Tales. It is at this time that Thornton, Col- man, and Garrick, are accused of having unkindly neglected him. The falsehood of this charge as regards the first two has al- ready been noticed, in the account of the first of those worthies, and Garrick was, at that time, engaged in bringing out, at Drury Lane, a comic opera, which Lloyd had adapted from a French original: it actually appeared with some success at that playhouse, on the 28th of November, 1764. Garrick had before assisted him in a similar manner, by producing "The Tears 358 A.D. 1752. Elected to Oxford. Nathaniel Hume¹. William Digby2. Samuel Glasse 3. Elected to Cambridge. Thomas Hebbes'.

When Churchill's death was abruptly communicated to Lloyd, as he was at din- ner, he was taken suddenly sick, and ex- claimed, "I shall follow poor Charles!" a prophecy soon fulfilled, for he was imme- diately put to bed, and died in the Fleet, December 15, 1764. To complete the sad history of these two friends, it must be added, that their death was speedily fol- lowed by that of Churchill's sister, to whom Lloyd was affianced. Lloyd's poems were collected and pub- lished in 1764. Another edition, with an account of his Life and Writings, by Dr. Kenrick, was published in two volumes, in 1774; another in 1804. Among the poems are many prologues and epilogues, which he wrote for the dramatic performances in the Dormitory of St. Peter's. A volume of his Familiar Poems was published in 1805, with a short biographical notice. Our account cannot find a better conclu- sion than Mr. Southey's elegant character of him:- "He was an accomplished scholar, * * a man of great and ready talents, with in- tellectual vigour enough for higher flights than he ever essayed, if moral strength had not been wanting. His greatest mis- fortune was his intimacy with Churchill; yet their friendship was so sincere and generous on both sides, that it stands forth as the redeeming virtue in the mournful history of both."-Westm.

He closed a life devoted to works of usefulness and charity, April 27, 1812, aged 79. Mr. Jones, the celebrated writer in de- fence of the doctrine of the Trinity, in his life of Bishop Horne (i. 41), has the follow- ing testimonial to the worth of Dr. Glasse:- "Mr. Samuel Glasse, a student of Christ Church, who had the repute he merited, of being one of the best scholars from West- minster, was another of Mr. H.'s intimate friends, and continued to love and admire him through the whole course of his life. The world need not be told what Dr. Glasse has been doing since he left the University, as a divine, as a magistrate, and as a teacher and tutor of the first eminence; of whose use- ful labors, the gospel, the law, the church, the bar, the schools of learning, the rich and the poor, have long felt and confessed the benefit; and may they long continue to do so! although it may be said, without any suspicion of flattery, in the words of the poet-Non deficit alter aureus.""-Oxf.

In 1761, he wrote a copy of Latin hexameters, printed with the acade- mical verses, on the death of George II. and accession of his grandson;-in 1762, took the degree of M.A.; and, in the following year, went to Ireland, as chaplain to the Earl of Northumberland, then ap- pointed Lord Lieutenant. His career, as may be seen from the list of his prefer- ments, was more than usually successful, even for one so favorably circumstanced. After his promotion to the deanery of Kil- more, he was created D.C.L. at Oxford, December 31, 1765. He was made Bishop of Cloyne, Feb. 16, 1768; translated to the archiepiscopal see of Cashel, July 27, 1779; and sworn of the Privy Council of Ireland on the 15th of November following. He was appointed Archbishop of Dublin, December 7, 1801. In addition to these ecclesiastical dignities, the Archbishop was created an Irish peer, by the title of Baron Somerton, co. Kilkenny, June 16, 1795; and was advanced to the dignity of Vis- count Somerton, Dec. 29, 1800. In 1801, he was chosen, in his temporal capacity, one of the representative Peers of the kingdom of Ireland. He was made Arch- bishop of Dublin and Primate of Ireland, on the death of Dr. Fowler (Election 1744), and sworn of the Privy Council: he re- ceived another step in the Irish Peerage, and was made Earl of Normanton, Feb. 6, 1806. The Archbishop closed his prosperous life at his house, in Great Cumberland Street, London, July 14, 1809, and was interred in Westminster Abbey.

[Archdeacon Strachey was the fourth son of Henry Strachey, of Sutton Court, co. Somerset, Esq., and Helen, daughter of Robert Clerk, of Listonfield, Mid-Lothian. He was born at Edinburgh (where Mr. Clerk followed the profession of a physician), July 20, 1737. He graduated B.A. 1760, having attained the position of sixth senior optime in the examination for that degree. In 1763, he took his M.A. degree; and, in 1764, was elected a Fellow of Trinity. He At Cambridge he made the acquaintance of Dr. Yonge (Election 1728), who ap- pointed him his domestic chaplain when he became Bishop of Norwich; and made him rector of Erpingham, Norfolk, 1769; and of Thwaite, in the same county, in 1773. proceeded LL.D. at Cambridge, 1774. He was presented to a stall in Llandaff Cathe- dral, by his friend and contemporary at Cambridge, Bishop Watson; and Dr. Wat- son paid the Archdeacon the further com- pliment of dedicating to him his miscel- laneous works, which were published in 1815. In consequence of the recommendation of Lord Mansfield (Election 1723), he was chosen preacher at the Rolls Chapel in 1783; and, about that time, became chap- lain at Highgate, Middlesex. He was chosen to superintend the print- ing of the Rolls of Parliament, from the time of Edward I. to the 19th of Henry VII. This work, consisting of six folio volumes, was published in 1777. He is said to have performed this arduous task with great diligence and accuracy. He was elected F.R.S. in 1772. The Archdeacon attained to the great age of 81, and died at Ramsgate, December 17, 1818, having established a reputation for extensive liberality and attention to the clergy under him, as well as for great learning and attainments as a scholar and a divine. He married Anne, only daughter of George Wombwell, Esq., of Crutched Fryars, London. His eldest son, JOHN STRACHEY, entered the service of the East India Company after leaving Westminster. His second son, GEORGE STRACHEY, Esq., of Bownham Court, co. Gloucester, was also educated at Westminster School, although not as a King's Scholar, and removed to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he gra- duated B.A. 1797, and M.A. 1822.

He was appointed to a minor prebend in St. Paul's Cathe- dral, and attained to the offices of junior and senior cardinal' in 1776 and 1783; and to that of sub-dean in 1797. For nearly 50 years he was a minor canon of Westminster and of Windsor, and became precentor of the former choir. In 1767, he was chosen lecturer of St. Bride's, London; and was for many years chaplain to the Goldsmiths' and Cutlers' Companies. He was at one time minister of the chapel at Market Street, Herts; and was likewise made vicar of Deeping-James, Lincolnshire, 1777; for this last living he was indebted to the Dean and Chapter of Windsor, who al- lowed him to resign it to his son, the Rev. W. Champnes (Election 1792). But he obtained most of his preferments from the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's; by that body he was successively presented to the rectory of Kensworth, Herts, to which he was instituted Dec. 24, 1765 ;- to the vicarage of Caddington, Beds, which, in 1778, he obtained a dispensation to hold with the vicarage of Ruislip, Middlesex; -to the rectory of Langdon-Hills, Essex, which he obtained in 1792;-and finally, in July, 1797, to the vicarage of St. Pan- cras, London, which he held until his death.

[The learned Dean Vincent was born in Limehouse Street Ward, London, November 20, 1739. His father, Mr. Giles Vincent, was deputy of that ward for many years, and by occupation a packer and opulent Portugal merchant. His mother was Sarah Holloway, of Inglish, co. Oxon. Giles Vincent's family was one of old standing and great respectability, at Shepy, in Leicestershire. Many of them had, for several generations, been in holy orders, and, in many instances, rectors of the me- dieties of Shepy. An account of his elder brother, Richard, has already been given under Election 1713. The trade in which Mr. Giles Vincent had embarked all his capital, and to which he had brought up his two eldest sons, was a thriving one; but by the earthquake at Lisbon, in Nov. 1755, he lost his second son, and the chief part of the property which his industry had acquired. Having devoted all he possessed (including lands at Pottersperry and at Loughton, bequeathed to him by W. Thomson (Election 1708), and the land at the latter place, intended by that gentle- man for his godson, Dean Vincent) to the payment in full of his creditors, he left the remains of the business to his eldest son, Francis. William was the fifth son, and the expenses of his education, after this wreck of his father's fortune, were defrayed " by his eldest brother; and, as the Dean added with honest feeling, when expressing his gratitude to his brother, "I had the satisfaction of repaying him." The education of young Vincent was begun at a school at Cavendish, in Suffolk, but he remained there so short a time that at the age of seven he was removed to Westminster. There he was "placed in the Petty," and from that time to the day of his death-with the exception of the five years he passed at Cambridge-he did not cease to be a component part of the School. He graduated B.A. 1761;-M.A. 1764; and proceeded D.D. at the Cam- bridge commencement, in 1776. In Jan., 1762, he returned to Westminster as an usher; was promoted to be second master in June, 1771, and head master in Sept., 1788; and, as his biographer, Dr. Nares, remarks, in the account of his life and writings (Classical Journal, xiii. 222, xiv. 210)," when Dr. Smith, after 24 years of diligent and approved service, obtained his tardy reward of a stall at Westminster, and soon after retired from the School, there was no occasion for doubt or hesitation in nominating Dr. Vincent to succeed him. Scholarship, assiduity, character, moral and religious, with all the most important qua- lities that the situation demands, had been proved to belong to him. Nor were any rival claims advanced." In 1778, he was presented by the Dean and Chapter of Westminster to the vicarage of Longdon, Worcestershire, but resigned this living in a few months, upon his collation, by the Archbishop of Canterbury, to the rectory of Allhallows, London. He gave up the last-named living in favor of his son W. St. A. Vincent (Election 1791), in 1804. But it was not until the 25th of April, 1801, when he was presented to a prebendal stall in Westminster Abbey, by Mr. Pitt, that he received any preferment which could be considered adequate either as a reward for his indefatigable exertions in the cause of education, or as a tribute to his learn- ing and research. On the 3rd of August 1802, Lord Sidmouth promoted him to the deanery of Westminster, in which he was installed on the 7th. In 1805, he accepted the rectory of St. John, Westminster, which came to his choice in the Chapter, and which he exchanged two years afterwards for that of Islip, Oxon. Such were the only benefices which this eminently learned and pious man received for many years of constant labor; but, small as they were, compared with what many of his predecessors had received, they were such as amply satisfied the mo- desty of the person upon whom they were 368 conferred. His great labors were increased by the contributions to learning which he made through his printed works. His first publication was an anonymous letter to Dr. Watson, Professor of Divinity at Cambridge, on the subject of a sermon preached by that gentleman in 1780; the object of which was to refute the revolutionary doctrines of the times. "Considerations on Parochial Mu- sic," a small tract by Dr. Vincent, made its appearance in 1787. In 1793, he pub- lished another small tract on a point of classical research, which extended his fame to the Continent, and received the appro- bation of Professor Heyne abroad, and of his own celebrated countryman, Professor Porson; it was entitled, "De Legione Man- lianâ, Quæstio ex Livio desumpta, et Rei militaris Romanæ studiosis proposita." It was written in Latin, and to it was added an explanatory translation in English. The object of this publication (in which, in the opinion of eminent judges, he suc- ceeded) was to reconcile Polybius' Account of the Roman Legion with a passage of Livy in the 8th Book. In 1794 and 1795, he published two grammatical Essays on the Greek verb. In 1797, he gave to the world the first part of the great work for which his name will descend with that of his country, at least as long as it continues to hold its Eastern Empire, his celebrated Commen- tary upon Arrian's Voyage of Nearchus, from the Indus to the Euphrates, the fruit of long, patient, and learned investigation and research. This work established his fame as a classical scholar, and accurate geographer and historian of the highest order, not only in his own country, but on the Continent, where he had, as has been before remarked, already laid the founda- tion of his reputation by his Treatise on the Roman Legion. It was translated into French by Mons. Billecoq, under the ex- press authority of Napoleon Bonaparte; and Archdeacon Nares, in reference to the successful vindication of the authenticity of the original work, says, that Dr. Vincent "has so victoriously defended it in the concluding section of his Preliminary Dis- quisitions, that Schneider, the latest editor of Arrian, has translated the whole of his arguments into Latin, and subjoined them to the objections of Dodwell, as a complete and satisfactory refutation." Dr. Vincent did not desist from his labors after the appearance of "The Voyage of Nearchus," but published the "Periplus of the Erythræan Sea," in two parts; the first in 1800, and the second five years later. The title-page of the first part calls it "An Account of the Navigation of the Ancients from the Sea of Suez to the Coast of Zan- guebar, with a Dissertation." It was dedi- cated, by permission, (as was the second part,) to the King, while the united work was dedicated to Lord Sidmouth. These three works were afterwards reprinted, to- gether with considerable additions and im- provements, and appeared in 1807, making up two quarto volumes, under the title of "The Commerce and Navigation of the An- cients in the Indian Ocean." A supple- mental volume, containing the Greek text of Arrian's Indica, and a translation of the account of Nearchus, and a translation of the Periplus, was added in 1810. It was re- He published two of his sermons: one in 1789, preached on the festival for the "Sons of the Clergy;" the other, in 1792, at St. Margaret's, Westminster, for the benefit of the Grey Coat School, on the Principles of Social Order. printed by the "Patriotic Association against Republicans and Levellers," and 20,000 copies were distributed throughout the country. One volume of his sermons was published after his death by his son, the Rev. W. Vincent; and another was edited, in 1836, by a Lieutenant-General Thornton, who being, as he expressed him- self in the preface, much disappointed that only one volume should have been published, obtained sufficient materials for a second, from the Rev. W. Vincent. Dr. Vincent published a "Concio ad Clerum" in 1798, and was prolocutor of the Lower House of Convocation in 1802, 1806, and 1807. He was also President of Sion Col- lege. He made many valuable contribu- tions to the British Critic, the Classical Journal, and the Gentleman's Magazine. His verses upon his predecessor, Lloyd, are given at page 280. The pious labors of Dr. Busby and of Dr. Nicoll, in preparing their scholars for the reception of the Holy Eucharist, have been already related, p. 244, and Dr. Vin- cent is said to have been equally attentive to this very important duty. One who knew him well tells us (Gent. Mag. xcv. 633), that he had a remarkable power of riveting the attention of the boys whom he taught: and that, on these solemn occasions especially, "there never was known an instance of any boy treating the disquisition with levity, or not showing an eagerness to be present at, and to profit by the lesson. A clear sonorous voice" (the writer con- tinues), "a fluent, easy, yet correct de- livery, an expression at once familiar and impressive, rendered him a delightful speaker." He expended 20007. upon the rectory house at Islip, being 12007. beyond the 369 A.D. 1758. Elected to Oxford. John Philips'. Samuel Wells Thomson2. John Russell". John Pery*. John Aubrey 5.

GOODENOUGH, usher of West- minster School, 1766 to 1770. [This was the third son of the Rev. Wil- liam Goodenough, rector of Broughton Pogges, Oxon., and he was born at Kimp- ton, Hants, a cure which his father held till 1750, during the minority of the person for whom it was destined. He graduated M.A. 1767. Broughton Pogges had been the property of his family for nearly two centuries, and they possessed not only the advowson, but a considerable estate there. Samuel inherited the advowson from his father, and gave up his ushership at West- minster when he presented himself to the living; about the same time he was pre- sented by Christ Church to the vicarage of Brize Norton, Oxon.;-proceeded D.C.L. July 11, 1772;-and in that year esta- blished a school at Ealing, which he con- ducted with eminent success for 26 years, educating there, amongst other boys, the sons of the Duke of Portland, and also young Addington, afterwards Lord Sid- mouth. On being nominated by the Duke of Portland to a canonry of Windsor, Jan. 23, 1798, he gave up the charge of the school to his nephew, W. Goodenough (Election 1790). In the preceding year he had received, from the patronage of Bishop Smallwell (Election 1739), the vicarage of Cropredy, Oxon. In 1802, he was preferred to the deanery of Rochester, and presented 375 himself to the rectory of Boxley. He was consecrated Bishop of Carlisle, January 26, 1808. To the graver attainments of his calling the Bishop added that of being a great proficient in natural science: he was chosen a Fellow of the Royal Society, 1789. The branch of science to which he was especially devoted was that of botany, and he delighted in anything connected with horticulture. He was a member of the Natural History Society, whence, in 1788, sprung the Linnæan Society, of which he was elected treasurer. He was also a Fel- low of the Antiquarian Society, and Vice- President of it and of the Royal Society at the time of his death. Dr. Goodenough married a daughter of Dr. James Ford, a celebrated physician, and was consequently brother-in-law to G. and J. Ford (Election 1767 and Ad- missions 1764). He survived this lady but eleven weeks, and died at Worthing, Aug. 12, 1827. He was buried on the 18th, in the north cloister of Westminster Abbey, near the tomb of Archbishop Markham. At the anniversary meeting of the Royal Society an eulogium was passed upon the deceased prelate, who had so long been a member of their body, by Mr. Davies Gil- bert. He wrote many valuable papers on his favorite subject, which are printed with the Transactions of the Linnæan Society. The only other printed works of his are three sermons, two preached before the House of Lords, and one before the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge. Upon one of the former was written the well-known epigram :- ""Tis well enough that Goodenough Before the Lords should preach, But, sure enough, full bad enough Are those he has to teach." A large meed of praise is also given him in the "Pursuits of Literature" (pp. 273. 281, 4to edition), in the following couplet, and in the note upon it :- "Or good Palæmon, worn with classick toil, Complain of plants ungrateful to the soil."

He had pro- ceeded B.D. and D.D. March 20, 1778. In 1787, through the interest of his second brother, William, Bishop of St. Asaph, who had been tutor to the Marquis of Bucking- ham, he was made chaplain to that noble- man, then going to Ireland as Lord Lieu- tenant for the second time. He was no- minated Bishop of Cork and Ross, March 28, 1789; and on the 13th of June, in the same year, translated to Leighlin and Ferns.

[Dr. Matthew Maty was a native of Hol- land, who became a physician in England, and was afterwards well known by writing the Life of Lord Chesterfield. Paul Henry, his only son, was born in 1763; and graduated B.A. 1767, and M.A. in 1770. He was nominated to one of the tra- velling fellowships of his College, and passed three years abroad; after which he was appointed chaplain to the Embassy at Paris. This seems to have been the only ecclesiastical preferment he ever held; for he had taken conscientious scruples about the Thirty-nine Articles, and, after his father's death, in July, 1776, ceased to perform any clerical duty whatever. He succeeded in having his reasons for this step, dated Oct. 22, 1777, printed at length in the Gentleman's Magazine (p. 446 of 1777). It happened, therefore, fortunately for him, 3c2 380 A.D. 1764.

He was made foreign secretary to the Royal So- ciety, Feb. 13, 1772; and succeeded Dr. Horsley as principal secretary, Nov. 30, 1778. He resigned the latter office, May 25, 1784, having taken a great part- which, in his position, was uncalled for-in the quarrel which arose in the Society, as to the re-establishment of Dr. Hutton as foreign secretary. The loss of this office was a reduction of income which Mr. Maty could ill afford, and he was not very suc- cessful in the attempt which he made to replace it, by giving private instruction in classical and modern languages. He died of asthma, on the 16th of January, and was buried in Bunhill Fields. After his death appeared a volume of sermons, delivered by him in the Ambas- sador's Chapel, at Paris, during the years 1774, 1775, and 1776; but some which are not his own are printed among them by mistake. He was also an author during his lifetime, and published a translation of Travels through Germany, in a series of letters from the Baron Riesbeck, in three volumes, 1787;-and the Duke of Marl- borough gave him 1007., and a copy of the work, for the translation into French of the account of the gems in the Gemmæ Marl- burienses. In January, 1782, he began his Review of Publications, principally foreign ones, which, with but little assistance, he continued for upwards of four years. In 1787, he published a general Index to the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, from the 1st to the 70th volume. He left a widow and son, in very dis- tressed circumstances: the child was edu- cated at the expense of Mr. Burney, but died whilst at school. - Romilly's Cant. Grad.; Nichols' Lit.

After his death the headship of Hertford College, formerly in the gift of Christ Church, was abolished, in conse- quence of a difficulty in taking the oath 381 prescribed by the statutes.

The son of Sir Alexander Macdonald, of Slate, the seventh baronet of Nova Scotia of that name, by his second wife, Margaret, daughter of Alexander, Earl of Eglintoun; -born after the death of his father, which occurred suddenly at Bernara, on his way to London to meet the Duke of Cumber- land, with whom he was on terms of some intimacy, in November, 1746. Sir Alexan- der left two other sons: Sir James, who died a young man; and Sir Alexander, created an Irish peer in 1776. Archi- bald had been entered at Lincoln's Inn shortly after his election to Oxford, and was called to the bar by that Society, in Michaelmas term, 1770. He took his M.A. degree in 1772. In 1777, he married Lady Louisa Gower, eldest daughter of Earl Gower (Admissions 1736), a nobleman whose influence in the political world was sufficient to insure the rapid advancement of a young lawyer, of good abilities and sound education. Accordingly, Mr. Mac- donald successively attained to the pro- fessional honors above recited, and was, on the 28th of June, 1788, further promoted to the office of Attorney-General, and re- ceived the usual honor of knighthood on the 27th of that month. He was again returned for the borough of Newcastle at the general election in 1790, but vacated that seat on his accept- ance of the office of Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, Feb. 14, 1793; he was sworn of the Privy Council on the 15th. In 1813, he resigned the post of Chief Baron, and, on the 27th of November, was created a baronet of East Sheen, co. Surrey. He was chosen F.R.S. 1788. Sir Archibald followed the politics of his father-in-law: he does not appear to have been a frequent speaker in Parliament, ex- cept when his duty as a Crown lawyer compelled him to address the House. There were but few state prosecutions in the period for which he held the position of law officer of the Crown; but he was so remarkably successful in those which did occur, that he is said never to have failed in obtaining a verdict. He was a bencher of Lincoln's Inn, and, in 1789, performed the office of treasurer to that Society. His arms are emblazoned in the east window of the chapel at Lincoln's Inn. In private life Sir Archibald was beloved and respected, not only by his own family, in which he scrupulously fulfilled his do- mestic duties, but also by his numerous acquaintance, who ever found in him a most agreeable companion: a peculiar ta- lent for conversation, and a rich fund of anecdote and humour, made him a welcome guest in society to those of his own stand- ing, as well as to younger persons, to whom his manner was kind and encouraging. To all he was affable and entertaining. He ever retained a deep attachment to West- minster School, and, until the year 1824, never neglected any opportunity of cul- tivating the reminiscences of his early youth, by attending the plays, the elections, and the annual dinners, by which such feelings have been usefully and successfully maintained amongst old Westminsters. Sir Archibald died at his house in Duke Street, Westminster, in his 80th year, May 18, 1826. His son and successor was elected to Christ Church from Westminster School, in 1801; and four of his grandchildren, sons of the Rev. T. Randolph (Election 1806), have attained the same distinction (Elections 1832, 1834, 1842, and 1845). The Chief Baron's picture is in Christ Church Hall.-Oxf. Grad.; MS. note to List in Brit.

JACKSON, student of Christ Church, 382 Oxford, 1764; sub-preceptor to the Prince of Wales and the Bishop of Osnaburgh [April 12], 1771; preacher at Lincoln's Inn, and canon of Christ Church, 1779; dean of Christ Church, Oxford, 1783; pro- locutor of the Lower House of Convocation, 1784. [It cannot be necessary to lay before anybody who is likely to dip into these pages, any detailed account of the life and character of this celebrated Dean of Christ Church. What scholar of Westminster or Oxford is there who has not either known him personally, or heard, from those of the preceding generation, of the wonderful ad- ministrative powers of the man, who com- bined so much learning, science, and litera- ture, with a dignity and urbanity which commanded the respect, and won the affec- tion, of those whose education he directed, and who contrived to shed an additional lustre over the illustrious foundation of the princely Wolsey? He was no sooner ap- pointed to the deanery than his fitness for the office became evident. He found much labor before him; but he undertook it re- solutely, adopting at once, and carrying still further, the reforms which Dean Bagot, with the assistance of his censor, Mr. Ran- dolph (Election 1767), had begun. By energy and firmness he restored the disci- pline, which had been much impaired; and succeeded, by timely and impartial severity, in suppressing a spirit of gambling which was rife among the young men. The father of Dr. Jackson was a surgeon and apothecary, and afterwards a physician of some reputation at Stamford, in Lin- colnshire, where the future Dean was born, in 1743. It is stated by Lord Orford, who calls him " one Jackson, an ingenious young man," that Cyril Jackson owed his appoint- ment of sub-preceptor to the Prince of Wales and Duke of York, to Lady Char- lotte Finch, then governess of the royal children; but there is little doubt that he really obtained it through Bishop Markham, who (as we have seen, Election 1738) was, at the same time, promoted from the deanery of Christ Church to the see of Chester, and appointed preceptor to the Princes. Dr. Markham had had ample opportunities of observing the fitness of Cyril Jackson for such an employment; as he had resigned the head mastership of Westminster to pre- side over Christ Church, in this very year in which Cyril Jackson was elected to Cam- bridge. Having been offered a studentship at Christ Church, our worthy made his option. for Oxford, was entered a commoner, and chosen student in this year. He took the degree of M.A. there, in 1771;-in 1777, he proceeded B.D., and D.D. July 7, 1781;- in that year, too, he was made rector of Kirkby Cleaveland, Yorkshire; -on the 27th of July, 1783, he was installed Dean of Christ Church; and, in the following year, was chosen prolocutor of the Lower House of Convocation, a post which he again filled in 1791. He was nominated a Busby trus- tee, May 8, 1800. He retired from the cares of the College, over which he had so ably presided, in 1809, to his residence at Felpham, near Bognor, a spot to which he was much attached, and where he died, August 31, 1819. A monument, with a statue by Chantrey, was erected to him in the cathedral, by a subscription among the members of Christ Church. This statue was executed entirely from Owen's picture of the Dean, which hangs in the Hall at Christ Church, and from the personal com- munications of those who had known him to the artist, who had never seen him. There is also a monument to his memory in the church at Felpham, where he was in- terred. Dean Jackson was made a prebendary of Southwell, in 1786; the only preferment, amongst all that were at his option, which he had held with his deanery. He refused the Primacy of Ireland, on the death of Archbishop Newcome, and the Bishoprick of Oxford, on the death of Bishop Small- well, in 1799. The Dean was not only a good scholar, but an able mathematician, and he was a Fellow of the Royal Society. His name occurs as a donor of 107. 10s. to the Bodleian in 1790. His brother was elected to Christ Church in 1768.-MS. note by Bp. of St. Asaph copied from Dean Goodenough; Oxf.

This will was proved on the 8th of Dec., 1778. His strange father was sent to West- minster School in 1719, whence he ran away, and was more than a year apprentice to a fisherman at Blackwall: he was sent back to Westminster; again ran away, and bound himself to the master of an Oporto vessel, a Quaker, from whom he escaped immediately on landing. He continued a long time in Portugal before he was dis- covered by his friends: he was then com- mitted to the care of a Mr. Forster for his education, with whom he was sent to the West Indies. Although he improved under Mr. Forster's instructions, his wayward dis- position was never subdued. He was sent to Parliament as Member for Huntingdon- shire, 1747, but obliged to leave England on account of his debts in 1751 in 1754, and again in 1761, he was elected for Bossiney, but he lived almost entirely in foreign countries, and especially in the East. He died, April 29, 1776. He pub- 3D 2 388 lished several works, of which the most remarkable was "Observations on the Fall of the Roman Empire."-Collins' Peerage, iii. 462-4; Nichols' Lit.

[Brother of the Dean of Christ Church (Election 1764), and almost as well known by all connected with Christ Church as that illustrious man. He gained the Chan- cellor's prize for Latin verse (subject, “Ars Medendi"), in 1770;-M.A. 1775;-B.D. 1783. He was during many years Tutor, Rhetoric Reader, and Censor of his College; -was made chaplain to Archbishop Mark- ham (Election 1738), and by him presented to a stall at Southwell; to one at York, in 1783, and to the rectory of Beeford, in that county. Shortly after this he was nomi- nated one of the curators of the Clarendon Press, upon which office, during a long pe- riod, he bestowed much time and industry. In 1792, he was made a prebendary of Wells. In 1799, he was appointed a canon of Christ Church, and proceeded D.D. Dec. 6, 1799. The Prince Regent having repeatedly, but in vain, solicited his old tutor, the Dean of Christ Church, to accept a bishop- rick, resolved to confer that dignity upon his brother; and Dr. W. Jackson was ac- cordingly nominated Bishop of Oxford, Dec. 31, 1811, and was Clerk of the Closet to the King. Upon his elevation to the bench of bishops, he resigned his preacher- ship of Lincoln's Inn, an appointment which he held in great estimation. Bishop Jackson died at Cuddesden of a painful disorder, with which he had lin- gered for some months, December 2, 1815, in the 65th year of his age. He was a learned theologian, and a good classical scholar, and his sermons were re- markable for logical argument and pro- found learning: four of them, preached on particular occasions, were published during his lifetime. He was a benefactor to the Bodleian Library. His picture is in Christ Church Hall.-Hist. and Antiq. II. ii. 855. 950; Oxf. Grad.; Oxf. Calendar; Killpack's Southwell, 26; Gent.

He proceeded M.A. 1775; and D.D. 1801; -was Bishop Horsley's curate at Newing- ton, Surrey, and lecturer to that church; and was appointed Archdeacon of Caermar- then by that prelate, in 1793, at which time he resigned the rectory of Blethvaugh, Radnorshire. Bishop Horsley, after his translation to Rochester, was still mindful of his former curate; and, in 1794, made him rector of Trottescliff, Kent; and, in 1797, rector of Milton, near Gravesend. Archdeacon Crawford died at the latter place, April 14, 1827, but was buried at Newington, where there is a tablet in me- mory of his wife and himself.-Romilly's Cant. Grad.; Gent.

B. CADOGAN, born, January 22, 1751, the second son of Charles, third Baron Cadogan, and first Earl of the new creation, by Frances, daughter of Henry Bromley, first Lord Montford ;-and brother to E. Cadogan (Admissions 1773). He was sent to Westminster School at an unusually early age, on the 7th of July, 1757, and gave remarkable proofs of in- dustry and abilities, both there and after his removal to Oxford. At Westminster he carried off several prizes. At Oxford he took the degree of M.A. in 1776. From a very early age he had wished to enter into holy orders; and before he was ordained, Lord Bathurst, then holding the Great Seal, called upon his father, and offered him the living of St. Giles', Read- ing, to which he was instituted in 1775; and in the same year he was presented to the rectory of St. Luke's, Chelsea. He ori- ginally intended to have resided chiefly at the latter place, and spent 8007. in repair- ing the vicarage house, but he ultimately found it more convenient to make Reading his home. He held both these cures until his death, which took place at Reading, Jan. 18, 1797. He published a sermon, preached on the death of Mr. Romaine, and two others on Liberty and Equality. Some of his sermons were collected and published after his death, with some of his later letters, and Memoirs of his Life by Mr. R. Cecil. When he entered upon his calling at Chelsea he was most active in exhorting people to bring their children to be baptized, and in catechising the children publicly, duties which had been much neglected. He was a very zealous and benevolent clergyman. At first he had disagreements with the people at Reading, but after some residence there, he adopted extreme Calvinistic opi- nions, and became very much liked, not only by his own flock, but also by the Me- thodists. He regularly attended at Chelsea during Lent, and at the monthly sacrament. His popularity among his parishioners at Reading is attested by the fact, that a great many of them wore mourning for him, and still more by the erection of a monument (designed by Bacon) to his me- mory in St. Giles' Church, with this in- scription:- "This tablet is inscribed by a mourning flock to the memory of their late faithful pastor, the Hon. and Rev. William Bromley Cadogan, M.A., second son of the right Hon. Lord Cadogan, rector of St. Luke's, Chelsea, and 22 years vicar of this parish, who departed this life, January 18, 1797, aged 46." Two sermons were preached and printed upon his death, one by the Rev. William Goode, in St. Andrew in the Wardrobe, and St. Anne's, Blackfriars, and another by the Rev. Charles Simeon, of Cambridge.-Oxf. Grad.; Collins' Peerage, v. 419; Sermons and Life by Rich. Cecil; Coates' Reading, 352, &c.; Lysons' Environs, ii. 108. 115; Watt's Bibl. Brit.; Gent.

DRUMMOND, the second son of Dr. Drummond, Archbishop of York;- born, August 7, 1752;-died in London, being still a student, April 7, 1773. ROBERT HAY, next brother to Thos. Lord Kinnoul (see page 316), was born in London, Nov. 10, 1711, and educated, like his bro- ther, at Westminster School, and at Christ 390 Church, Oxford.

GEORGE WILLIAM AURIOL HAY-DRUM- MOND, fifth son of the Archbishop, born at Brodsworth, near Doncaster, March 13, 1761; was also educated at Westminster, and, on his removal to Christ Church, made a canoneer student. He distinguished him- self by a Commemoration Speech, which he made upon Dr. Compton, Bishop of London, in Christ Church Hall, July, 1782;-graduated M.A. 1783. He was ad- mitted to holy orders, and presented, by Archbishop Markham to the vicarage of Doncaster, in 1785, which he exchanged for that of Brodsworth, in 1790. In 1785, too, he was made a prebendary of York. He was the author of several publications; some sermons of his own;-some verses, social and domestic, in 1802; and he edited some sermons of the Archbishop, to which he prefixed some memoirs of the author, 1804. He perished in a shipwreck off the coast of Devon, Dec. 7, 1807. He is known at Doncaster for having been the first per- son to establish Sunday schools there.

In 1780, he acted as chaplain to Sir Edmund Hartopp, High Sheriff for the county of Leicester. After he had quitted his place of usher at West- minster School, he performed the duties of his ministry at St. James' Chapel, Hamp- stead Road; and, in 1788, Lord Boringdon presented him to the rectory of Zeal Monachorum, Devon. He was very celebrated as a preacher, and, on the death of Mr. Sellon (Election 1750), in 1791, was elected alternate evening lec- turer at the Magdalen Hospital; and, in 1799, to the same office at the Foundling.

He was instituted vicar of Easton Maudit, Northamptonshire, on the presentation of the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church, June 15, 1782; and was soon afterwards appointed to the vicarage of Great Dod- dington, in the same county, on the pre- sentation of the Lord Chancellor. In 1786 his pupils were removed to Westminster School, where he resumed his office of tutor to them until 1788, and during that time was an usher at the School. He was elected preacher at Lincoln's Inn, 1788;-was made assistant librarian to the British Museum in 1795; and afterwards librarian in the MS. department, where he prepared the third volume of the Catalogue of the Harleian MSS., published by the Record Commission: he resigned this appointment in 1807. In 1798, he was appointed to a prebendal stall in St. Paul's Cathedral, and also to the rectory of Sharnford, Leicestershire; he resigned the latter in the next year, on being made canon residentiary of Lichfield: he was also vicar of Dalbury, Derbyshire. In 1800, he was promoted to the archdea- conry of Stafford;-elected F.R.S. 1804;- vicar of St. Mary's, Reading, from 1805 until 1818, when he exchanged that cure of souls for the rectory of All-Hallows, London Wall.

A monument was erected to his memory in Lichfield Cathedral, the epitaph to which concludes with some verses written by the Rev. W. L. Bowles. The Archdeacon's arms are in the prebendal window of the Cathe- dral. He was a Fellow of the Royal So- ciety, of the Antiquarian Society, and Vice- President of the Linnæan Society.

Two years before this, in 1785, he published, by subscription, the first edition of his "Flora Cantabri- giensis;" Supplement I. followed in 1787, Supplement II. in 1788, and Supplement III. in 1793. A second edition appeared in 1802, and a greatly enlarged one was pub- lished by him in 1820. The estimation in which he was held for his science was so great, that Mons. l'Héritier converted his name into a botanical term, which is still in use. From the title-page to his last-named work, we learn that Mr. Relhan was a Fel- low of the Royal Society, of the Linnæan Society, and of the Philosophical Society of Cambridge.

He commanded the first battalion of the Guards in the expedition to the Helder; and a brigade of cavalry, and afterwards of infantry, in Egypt, for which service he received the thanks of Parliament.

Southampton, was the son of Robert Home, of Greenlaw Castle, co. Berwick, an army surgeon of consider- able reputation: he was born at Hull, May 6, 1766. An advantageous offer of educa- tion in his father's branch of the medical profession, made by Dr. John Hunter, the celebrated surgeon, who had married Home's only sister, induced his father to withdraw him from Cambridge; and he was placed under his brother-in-law's care in London. In 1780, he obtained an ap- pointment on the Medical Staff in the West Indies; and on his return thence, after an absence of four years, he again attached himself to Dr. Hunter, and helped him in his Museum, and other professional employments, until 1793, when death de- prived him of the relation to whom he owed so much. He was made surgeon to St. George's Hospital; and, in 1808, came more pro- minently into public notice, by being ap- pointed Serjeant-Surgeon to the King, and by the distinction of the Copley Medal, con- ferred on him by the Royal Society, for his various papers on Anatomy and Physiology, printed in the Philosophical Transactions. He had been elected F.R.S. in 1785; and is said to have presented 107 Papers to the Transactions, a larger number than the Society had ever received from any one person: he subsequently became one of the Vice-Presidents of that Society. He was created a Baronet by the Prince Regent, June 27, 1813. In 1814, he deli- vered the Hunterian Oration, which was published; and in that year appeared the first two volumes of his Lectures on Com- parative Anatomy; the next two volumes came out in 1823, and the last two in 1828. They were printed in quarto, and embellished with splendid plates. These were not by any means the only contribu- tions he made to medical science, for, be- sides writing numerous articles in medical magazines, he published several other works on surgical practice: the first appeared in 1788, and the last, a small tract, as late as 1830. In 1821, he was appointed Serjeant-Sur- geon to George IV.; and his labors were further rewarded by the appointment of Surgeon to Chelsea Hospital. In 1822, he was elected President of the College of Surgeons. He retired from the active ex- ercise of his profession and from most of his official employments in 1827, and died at his apartments in Chelsea College, aged 76, August 31, 1832. Sir Everard Home was honorary Pro- fessor of Anatomy and Surgery to the Col- lege of Surgeons, and a member of many learned societies; F.A.S., F.H.S., F.L.S. He married, in 1792, Mrs. Thomson, the daughter and co-heiress of the Rev. Dr. Tunstall. His eldest son by that lady, the present Sir JAMES EVERARD HOME, was at Westminster School, and has since served his country with distinction as a post- captain, and received the honor of C.B. for his services in China, where he com- manded the "North Star." The late Sir Everard was much attached to Westminster School, and for many years came down on the 17th of November, in full dress, to ask the Early Play for the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's accession. -MS. note to List in British Museum; Ann.

He was with Mr. Hastings during the whole of the critical scenes which terminated in the deposition of Cheyt Sing, and conducted himself, as may be seen by the letters of Mr. Hastings written to, and about him, in a most creditable manner. In one of the Governor-General's letters he thus speaks of Mr. Markham: "With many of the failings of youth and inexperience, Mr. Markham possesses all the ingenuousness and generosity of the former, and I shall 399 A.D. 1774.

And, a few months later, when their further acquaintance had ripened into intimacy, the Governor-General says, "I need not tell you, my dear Markham, that I possess a very high opinion of your abilities, and that I repose the utmost con- fidence in your integrity; the whole of your conduct since our acquaintance has served to impress me with those sentiments, and mine, I hope, has proved that I enter- tain them." On his return to England, Mr. Markham settled at Becca Hall, in Yorkshire, became a Deputy Lieutenant for the county; and died, December 30, 1814. He married a Miss Bowles, of North Aston, Oxon.: his eldest son, by that lady, was admitted on the foundation in 1811; his third son, the Rev.

The father of Phineas Pett lived at Maidstone. The son took his M.A. degree in 1781;-served the office of proctor in the University in 1785;-was appointed one of his Majesty's preachers at Whitehall, December, 1788;- was censor of Christ Church, from 1783 to 1791, and eminent as a tutor there; among his pupils he had the honor of reckoning Mr. Canning, to which circumstance he was in-. debted for some of his preferments: but his earliest patron was Bishop Smallwell (Elec- tion 1739), who appointed him his chaplain; made him vicar of Orton on the Hill, 1789, which living he held only a few months, and exchanged for the vicarage of Cropredy, Oxon. He took the degree of B.D. in 1791; in 1794, he was presented by the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church to the rectory of Wentnor, Salop; and, in 1795, to that of Chilbolton, Hants, by Bishop North. Bishop Smallwell also made him chancellor and archdeacon of the diocese of Oxford, in 1797. He proceeded D.D. November 10, 1797. He was collated, by Bishop Fisher, to a pre- bendal stall in Salisbury Cathedral, 1801, and presented to the rectory of Newington, Oxon, by Archbishop Moore, 1802. He was appointed Principal of St. Mary's Hall, 1801, an office which he held until he was made a canon of Christ Church, Dec. 30, 1815, and was afterwards treasurer of that Chapter. His promotion hence was only retarded by his own choice, for, upon the death of Bishop Goodenough, in 1827, it is asserted that George IV. wrote, with his own hand, to Lord Goderich, to desire that the see of Carlisle should be offered to Dr. Pett, who, however, declined this advancement. The offer was again repeated, and again de- clined, before the bishoprick was conferred on the present bishop. Archdeacon Pett died, February 4, 1830, having, with a very short exception, passed almost his whole life in strict connection with the University of Oxford. At his death he was in possession of the rectories of Newington and Chilbolton, his canonry of Christ Church, and stall at Salisbury, and his archdeaconry. A portrait of him, by Owen, is in St. Mary's Hall. He is re- corded among the donors to the Bodleian Library.-Oxf. Grad.; Hist. and Antiq. ii. 950, Appx. 179; Nichols' Illust. to Lit.

He resided almost entirely at Launton, and was an active magistrate in the county. He lived to the age of 82, and died, November 17, 1837, in London, at the house of his daughter in the Regent's Park. He was born in the parish of St. George, Westminster, and his father was the Rev. Dr. Richard Browne.-Oxf. Grad.; Gent. Mag. ix. N.S. 105. The longevity of most of the persons noticed under this year is very remarkable; for it will be observed that Dr. Pett was the first of those elected to Oxford, who died at 73, Gascoyne died in the month after Pett, Wyndham had entered his 77th year, Lambard his 80th, Browne was 82, Cox 83, and Strange 84; looking also to 401 the Admissions of this year, Affleck at- tained the age of 74, and Gould was in his 87th year.] 6 [S. C. COX, took the degree of B.A. 1778, being eleventh wrangler in the exa- minations which preceded it; and, in the following year, he obtained the Member's Prize for Middle Bachelors;-M.A. 1781. He was called to the bar by the Society of Lincoln's Inn, June 26, 1781; and, in 1787, edited Peere Williams's Reports in Chan- cery, and published a fifth edition of that work in 1816. He was nominated a com- missioner of bankrupts; in 1798 became a Welsh judge; and, in 1806, was made a Master in Chancery. Mr. Cox died at the Foundling Hospital, to which he held the office of treasurer, on the 25th of March, 1839.

Affleck (Election 1735);-born at Finedon, April 29, 1759, his mother's maiden name being Mary Proctor;-entered the army as ensign in the 43rd Foot, Feb. 29, 1776; and sailed with his regiment for America in the following April: he distinguished himself there, and returned thence in 1778, with the rank of captain, having been wounded at Rhode Island: he, however, went back again to America, and stayed in that country until September, 1779, when his regiment came home. After this he obtained a company in the 26th, which he exchanged for the captain-lieutenantcy of the 23rd Light Dragoons, in January, 1782, and forthwith proceeded with that regiment to India: he was driven home by ill health in 1786; but having in that year obtained the ma- jority of the 19th Light Dragoons, he again went to India with that corps. He was pro- moted to the rank of lieutenant-colonel by brevet, March 1, 1794; and, March 25, 1795, was appointed to the lieutenant- colonelcy of the 16th Light Dragoons, which he held until his death, a period of more than 38 years. He became colonel by brevet, January 1, 1798; was raised to the rank of brigadier-general in Ireland, 1803; to that of major-general, Jan. 1, 1805; lieutenant-general, June 4, 1811; and general, May 27, 1825. He succeeded to the baronetcy, which had been conferred upon his uncle, Admiral Sir Edmund Affleck (with remainder to the issue male of his father) for his distinguished services in Lord Rodney's victory over the Comte de Grasse, in the West Indies, in 1782, upon the death of his cousin, Sir Gilbert, July 17, 1808. He died at Dalham, August 10, 1833, and was succeeded by his brother Robert (Election 1783). Sir James Affleck had the reputation of an excellent officer, and was an influential person in the county of Suffolk: he ever maintained a firm attachment to the Church of England; and, as a mark of respect for his character, ten clergymen bore the pall at his funeral. - Debrett's Baronetage; Gent.

N.S. 435, xxvii. 306.] 1 C. ABBOT, elected to a Vinerian law fellowship, 1781. [The Rev. John Abbot, D.D., rector of All Saints, Colchester, married Sarah, daughter of Jonathan Farr, Esq., and Charles Abbot, the subject of this notice, was the second son of that marriage. He was born at Abingdon, Berks, October 14, 1757. He obtained considerable reputation during his progress through the University, car- rying off the Chancellor's Prize for Latin verse in 1777; and as the subject of the poem was "Petrus Magnus," he was for- tunate enough to receive the additional distinction of a gold medal from the Em- press of Russia. Having put on his ba- chelor's gown, he prepared himself with diligence for his future profession, that of a barrister. With this view he went to Geneva to study foreign law, and on his return was elected Vinerian scholar; he graduated B.C.L. 1783, and proceeded D.C.L. March 23, 1793. He was called to the bar by the Society of Lincoln's Inn ;- became Clerk of the Rules in the King's Bench, on the death of his brother, Dec., 1794, and was appointed Recorder of Oxford, July 25, 1801. His professional life began with every promise of future success, which would doubtless have been abundantly realized, had not the still greater success which attended his political career in its outset speedily withdrawn him from the bar. Mr. Abbot had been returned as Member of Parliament for Helston, in 1790, but was unseated on petition; a vacancy occurring, however, in the same Parliament, he was duly elected in June, 1795; and re-elected in 1796 and in 1801. During the six years he had sat in the House of Commons he had given numerous proofs of his industry in, and capacity for, public business. He seems to have made his maiden speech as early as the 3rd of December, 1795, on the Seditious Meetings Bill, and to have ac- quitted himself very successfully; and even now began to propose some of those reforms in the mode of conducting the business of Parliament, by which he rendered such service, not only to the House of Commons, but to the House of Lords, after his re- moval thither. In 1797, he became Chair- man of Mr. Pitt's Finance Committee, in which he labored with diligence, bringing up, it is said, to the table of the House 36 reports during that and the succeeding session. He himself drew up those on the Revenue, the Exchequer, and the Law Courts. In 1800, among other useful mea- sures, he moved for a Committee of Inquiry into the National Records. On the forma- tion of Lord Sidmouth's Administration, Mr. Abbot was made Chief Secretary for 403 Ireland and Keeper of the Privy Seal : his management of these offices was cha- racterized by judicious reforms. He was also appointed joint Vice-Treasurer of Ire- land in 1801, and sworn of the Privy Council on the 21st of May. But the fol- lowing year produced the most important change in his position: having been elected for Woodstock and for Heytesbury at the general election, he made his option for the former, and was chosen Speaker of the House of Commons, February 10, 1802. He was elected one of the burgesses for the University of Oxford in 1806, and con- tinued to represent that learned constitu- ency until he was raised to the Peerage. He filled the important post of Speaker with great zeal, assiduity, and ability, and introduced many important improve- ments into the mode of conducting the public business, which had become in- volved in arrears and difficulties, from the vast increase of bills, both public and private, before the House; and one of his last legacies to the House was a reform in the preparation of the votes. On one occa- sion, indeed, Mr. Abbot seems to have over- stepped the bounds of his duty in a re- markable manner, by alluding with satis- faction, in his speech to the Prince Regent, at the close of the session, in July, 1813, to the rejection of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill. He himself had made the motion in committee by which the bill had been thrown out. This transaction was made the subject of more than one debate in the following session, and although the in- fluence of the Government obtained a ma- jority in favor of the Speaker, the minority included 108 members. Another singular fact.connected with Mr. Abbot's Speaker- ship is, that it was his fortune to give the casting vote in favor of Lord Melville's impeachment. Mr. Abbot resigned the Chair from ill health, May 30, 1817;-on the 3rd of June was created Baron Col- chester;-and on the 9th of that month a grant of 4000l. a year was made to him, and of 3000l. to his immediate successor in the title. Having recruited his health, by a resi- dence of three years abroad, he returned to England. He had a country seat at Kid- brooke, near East Grinstead, where he be- came active as a magistrate. He did not give up his attendance in Parliament, and spoke not unfrequently in the House of Lords. He established a library for the House of Lords on the principle of that of the House of Commons. Lord Colchester died at his house, in Spring Gardens, in the 72nd year of his age, May 8, 1829. His only publications were, "The Practice of the Chester Circuit, accompanied by a Preface, recommending alterations in the Welsh Judicature," in 1795; and, in November, 1828, six speeches of his on the Roman Catholic question, with remarks on the state of that measure as it then stood. He was a Fellow of the Royal and Antiquarian Societies. By his wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Philip Gibbes, Lord Colchester had two sons: -CHARLES, the eldest, who succeeded his father as Lord Colchester, was educated at Westminster, until he entered the navy, in which he is now a post-captain. He was chosen a trustee of the Busby charities, May 23, 1840:-and, PHILIP HENRY, born in June, 1802, who was sent to West- minster School, but remained there only a few months: he was afterwards of Christ Church, Oxford, where he graduated B.C.L. in 1828-he became a barrister of Lincoln's Inn; and died, January 8, 1835, aged 32, leaving a son, C.

He died at Lissendrum, Aberdeenshire, the seat of his family (being on a visit to his nephew), September 5, 1834, in his 77th year. He had declined the archbishoprick of Dublin, offered to him upon the death of Dr. Magee. Bishop Bisset was exemplary in the dis- charge of his episcopal duties, and munifi- cent in his charities, as will be seen from the following extract from the character given of him in the obituary of the Gentle- man's Magazine :-" When Raphoe was visited last spring by the awful disease which desolated so many towns and vil- lages, his Lordship remained at the palace, and converted his offices into hospitals for the sick, whom he tended with his own hand, administering alike bodily and spi- ritual relief. When the Parliamentary grant was taken from the association for discountenancing vice, he supplied the loss, defrayed the expense of premiums, and exerted himself unremittingly in support of the society. He built several churches 3 F 2 404 in his diocese." He also laid out a con- siderable sum upon the palace at Raphoe. -Oxf. Grad.; Gent. Mag. xcii. 599, civ. 647.] 3 [W.

He became a bar- rister-at-law; practised at Jamaica, and afterwards in Dublin, where he had great success in his profession, and lived to be father of the Irish bar.

He was born, September 28, 1770. At Westminster he was a youth of great promise, excelled in all games and athletic sports, and was also distinguished for his classical attainments. His prospects were very much clouded by an act of youthful imprudence, of which he was guilty in the autumn of 1788. During the Whitsuntide holidays of that year, he had been acting in some private theatricals with a young lady: an attachment was formed between them, and they eloped to Scotland in Sep- tember. This marriage, of course, inter- rupted the studies which he was pursuing with such success; they were not, however, abandoned; for, in May, 1796, he took the degree of M.A. at St. Mary Hall, Ox- ford. Having been admitted to holy or- ders, he was presented by his cousin, Mr. Leigh, of Addlestrop, to the rectory of Broadwell cum Addlestrop, Worcester- shire; was instituted vicar of Woodford, Northamptonshire, July 23, 1796; and of Blakesley, March 1, 1797: he held the for- mer benefice until 1803, and the latter until his death.

He was created D.D. at Oxford, by decree of Con- vocation, in 1819. In 1801, he published a sermon, preached at Daventry, at the Archdeacon's visitation. At school he is said to have had a share in a publication, which was started by the boys, called "The Trifler," in imitation of the more celebrated work of its kind, produced at Eton by Mr. Canning, Mr. Robt. Smith, and Mr. Hookham Frere.- Oxf. Grad.; Baker's Northamptonshire, i. 535, ii. 25; Collins' Peerage, vii. 38-9; Gent. Mag. xcv. 275, pt. i.] 9 [H.

KENNEDY, born August, 1772, the second son of Hugh Alexander Ken- nedy, M.D. He was appointed assistant- commissary-general to the forces on the Continent under the Duke of York, Jan. 10, 1798;-promoted to be deputy-com- missary-general, February 21, 1801, and commissary-general, Jan. 28, 1809: in that capacity he was with the Duke of Wel- lington throughout the campaign in the Peninsula and the South of France. There is strong evidence in several of the Duke's despatches of the great esteem in which Mr. Kennedy's services were held. On one occasion, in 1811, when he applied to be relieved from his duties, the Duke writes:- "I know not how to fill Mr. Kennedy's place." **** "I hope Mr. Kennedy will be prevailed upon to stay." He was made a knight, May 8, 1812; and in a letter to Lord Bathurst, of the 23rd of April, 1814, the Duke urges his being further rewarded, in these words:- "So much of the success of this army has been owing to its being well supplied with provisions, and I have had so much reason to be satisfied with Sir Robert Kennedy, that I think it proper to take this opportunity of informing your Lord- ship that he has expressed a desire to be made a baronet. *** I ought to apologise for doing more than to acquaint your Lordship with my opinion of his merits, and I hope you will attri- bute my doing so to my desire to inform you in what manner a deserving public servant could be rewarded." This request was not complied with by the Government. Sir Robert was decorated with the cross of a Knight Commander of Hanover. He died at Bezières, in the South of France, May 8, 1840.-MS. notes to List in British Museum, and by Mr. Ross; Gazettes; Duke of Wellington's Despatches, viii. 50, xi. 670-1; Ann.

Al- though he went up as captain at the elec- tion in 1792, he, as well as Hook, was rejected by the electors. He, accordingly, became a pensioner of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, where he ship and abilities which he had enjoyed at soon increased the reputation for scholar- school. He obtained Sir W. Browne's me- dal for the Latin ode, in 1795;-was last in the list of senior optimes at the exami- nation for B.A. in 1796, and had the second Chancellor's medal allotted to him;-was elected Fellow of Corpus Christi, and gra- duated M.A. in 1799. After leaving the university he went into the Ceylon civil service, and by the administrative talents which he displayed there, contributed mainly to the subjuga- tion and final capture of the King of Kandy, and to the firm establishment of the British rule in that island. His ser- vices were rewarded with a baronetcy, conferred on the 27th of July, 1821. He was Resident at Kandy, and then, Secre- tary to the Government at Ceylon, which 427 office he held for many years. He died at Kandy, May 25, 1824, being then a Mem- ber of the Council in Ceylon, and Resident and first Commissioner of Government in the Kandyan provinces. Sir John D'Oyly was not only esteemed by his own country- men, but the natives entertained great admiration and affection for him. In a dispatch from the Secretary of State to Sir R. Brownrigg, dated June 1, 1816, and published by the Ceylon Government, occurs the following passage relating to Sir John D'Oyly:- "I am also commanded particularly to express the sense which his Royal Highness the Prince Regent entertains of the conduct and services of Mr. D'Oyly upon the late occasion. To his intel- ligence in conducting the negotiations, first with the Kandyan Government, and, latterly, with the Adikars and others who opposed it; to his inde- fatigable activity in procuring information, and in directing the military detachments, the com- plete success of the enterprise is principally owing; and his Royal Highness avails himself with pleasure of this opportunity of expressing how greatly he appreciates not only Mr. D'Oyly's latter services, but those which he has, at for- mer periods, by his attention to the Kandyan department, rendered to the colony and his country." The quotation which follows is of a dif- ferent kind, and is from Sir James Mack- intosh's diary, dated at Ceylon, March 2, 1810:- "Among the Society are three old West- minsters: Twistleton *, a contemporary of John †, Coke and D'Oyly, contemporaries of Baugh §. D'Oyly, you recollect, was one of the party who rowed us, in 1799, from Cambridge to Ely. He is the only Cingalese scholar in the Ceylon civil service, and, like many Orientalists, has almost become a native in his habits of life. He lives on a plantain, invites nobody to his house, and does not dine abroad once a year; but he is gene- rally esteemed, and seems an amiable and ho- norable, though uncouth, recluse. When I saw him come in to dinner at Mr. Wood's, I was struck with the change of a Cambridge boy into a Cingalese hermit, looking as old as I do." Sir John D'Oyly's remains were publicly interred at Kandy. His elder brother, THOMAS DOYLY, late Fellow of All Souls, and now serjeant-at- law, and Chairman of the Sussex Quarter Sessions, was educated as a town-boy at Westminster, and afterwards at Christ Church, Oxford.

February 4, 1806, and was appointed prebendary of Win- chester, in 1807; which promotion he ob- tained from Bishop Tomline; to him also he was indebted for the archdeaconry of Huntingdon, to which he was appointed in 1814. In 1817, Dr. Hook resigned his livings in Hertfordshire, on being presented to the rectories of Whippingham, Isle of Wight, and Preston Condover, Herts. He was made Dean of Worcester, July 26, 1825, and conferred on himself, in the fol- lowing year, the valuable benefices of Bromsgrove and Stone, Worcestershire. He was also Master of St. Oswald's Hos- pital, Worcester. Dr. Hook was early distinguished as a caricaturist, and by his talents for music, a gift he inherited from his father, a cele- brated composer. He wrote an opera, called "Jack of Newbury," in 1795, and a play, called "Diamond cut Diamond," but they do not appear to have been ever pub- lished. Some single sermons of his, and an archidiaconal charge, were printed. He also published anonymously, at Edinburgh, two novels, "Pen Owen," in 1822, and "Percy Mallory," in 1823. The Dean was F.R.S. He was brother-in-law to T. H. and R. T. Farquhar, having married a daughter of Sir Walter Farquhar, Baronet. Dr. Hook died at Worcester, February 5, 1828, and was buried in that cathedral.

CAREY was born on the 18th of November, 1769, and was admitted into Westminster School, through the kindness of Dr. Vincent. He graduated M.A. 1796; and from being one of the tutors at Christ Church, was made censor, in 1798, and con-1 tinued in that office until Christmas, 1802; in which year he was made a prebendary of York. While resident at Christ Church he held the perpetual curacy of Cowley, Oxon, and was one of his Majesty's preachers at Whitehall. He quitted the University on being appointed Head Master of West- minster School, January, 1803;-proceeded B.D. in 1804, and D.D. May 14, 1807. He obtained the post of sub-almoner to the King, in 1807, and was nominated a pre- bendary of Westminster, March 18, 1809. On resigning the charge of the school, in December, 1814, Dr. Carey retired to his vicarage of Sutton in the Forest, York, and devoted himself to the care of that parish till he was nominated Bishop of Exeter, October 16, 1820. He was con- secrated, November 12, 1820, and trans- 429 lated to the see of St. Asaph, February 20, 1830. His only publication was a sermon, preached before the House of Commons, in 1809. He died in London, on the 13th of De- cember, 1846, but his remains were in- terred in the churchyard of the cathedral of St. Asaph, and the following tribute to his memory is inscribed on a monument within the cathedral :- "In Cometrio adjacente prout ipse voluit Sepultus est Vir admodum Reverendus Gulielmus Carey, S.T.P.

Bishop Carey's name will, indeed, be long held in remembrance by all connected with Westminster School, on account of the munificent provision which he made for the better maintenance of such Ba- chelor-Students of Christ Church, elected off from Westminster, and (as he himself expressed it) "having their own way to make in the world," as should attend the divinity lectures, and prepare themselves for holy orders. The dean and canons of Christ Church, who are the trustees of the Bishop's benefaction, will eventually be able to distribute the interest of 20,000l. 3 per cent. consols, among such Student- bachelors as shall be by them elected to receive it, according to the provisions of the deed of gift by which the above sum was transferred to them.-MS. notes by Bp.

He received the appointment of President of the Court of Criminal and Civil Justice of Demerara and Essequibo; the duties of which he fulfilled until the year 1821, when he was suspended from his functions, upon a difference which arose between him and the Government, as to the constitution of the colony. Upon this he came to Eng- land, and laid an appeal before the Privy Council, which, after slumbering until 1825, was decided in his favor. It was not, however, until 1832 or 1833, that his applications for another judicial appointment were successful, and he was nominated puisne judge of the Supreme Court of Ceylon; from which office he was promoted to that of Chief Justice, March 13, 1836, and was knighted by patent, August 7, 1837. Sir William Rough died at Nowera Ellia, May 19, 1838.

We have it on the autho- rity of Mr. Impey, that this was called the "Golden Election," from the desire of distinction and superior abilities of those who composed it. Each of the three elected to Oxford chose a separate profes- sion-medicine was Dr. Kidd's selection. He took the degrees of M.A. 1800;-of M.B. 1801;-and proceeded M.D. Jan. 30, 1804. He was appointed chemical lecturer, Oxford, 1801;-Aldrich's pro- fessor of chemistry, 1803;-reader in ana- tomy, on Dr. Lee's foundation, in 1816;— and regius professor of physic, August 9, 1822, when he resigned the Aldrichian professorship of chemistry. He was ap- pointed Radcliffe librarian in 1834. Dr. Kidd is the author of the following works, all of them published at Oxford :- Outlines of Mineralogy, in two volumes, 1809;-A Geological Essay on the Imper- fect Evidence in Support of a Theory of the to Earth, 1815;-An Answer to a Charge against the English Universities, in the Supplement to the Edinburgh Encyclo- pædia, 1818;-An Introductory Lecture to a Course in Comparative Anatomy, illus- trative of Paley's Natural Theology, 1824. He was also selected to write the second of the Bridgewater Treatises, "On the Adap- tation of External Nature to the Physical Condition of Man, principally with Re- ference to the Supply of his Wants, and the Exercise of his Intellectual Faculties." This was published in 1833, and is the only one of the treatises which has reached a fifth edition, which was published in 1837. In 1841, Dr. Kidd published some "Observations on Medical Reform;" and some "Further Observations" on the same subject, in 1842. He is a F.R.S. Although he has withdrawn from the more laborious duties of his profession, he still resides in Oxford, where his name is held in respect by all who are acquainted, if only by reputation, with that city. His father was the commander of "the Swallow" packet, which conveyed Lord Cornwallis to and from his Government of India.-Oxf. Grad.; Gazette; Catalogues of Bodleian Library and British Museum. 2 W. CORNE, the second of the three above-mentioned, studied divinity. He took the degree of M.A. 1800, and that of B.D. 1809;-became tutor, and, in 1806, censor of his College; -a Whitehall preacher, 1800;-a prebendary of Lich- field; one of the select preachers before the University, 1813. Having come up to London to preach at Whitehall, he died suddenly, May 4, 1818. Mr. Corne had held the small curacy of Binsey, near Ox- ford, since 1806. He was buried in Christ Church Cathedral.-Oxf. Grad.; MS. note by Bp. of St. Asaph; Gent. Mag. lxxxviii. 477. J. PHILLIMORE, the last of the three, but not the least known to fame, was the eldest son of the Rev. Joseph Phillimore. He graduated in civil law, becoming B.C.L. in 1800, and proceeding D.C.L. January 20, 1804. He had been distinguished for his scholarship, and especially for the talent for composition which he displayed, as well at Westminster as after his removal to Christ Church, where he gained the College prize for Latin verse (subject, "Ieroso- luma ab Omaro capta"), Corne's exercise being declared the next best, and Kidd's the third. In 1798, he obtained the College prize for the Latin essay, the subject being "Pisistratus;" and in that year also the University prize was adjudged to his Eng- lish Essay on "Chivalry." After some re- sidence in foreign parts, he settled in 438 London, and was admitted an advocate in Doctors' Commons, Nov. 21, 1804. On the death of Dr. Lawrence, in 1809, he was nominated judge of the Cinque Ports by Lord Hawkesbury; chancellor of the dio- cese of Oxford by Bishop Moss; and, October 31, regius professor of civil law at Oxford; an office upon the reputation of which his classical taste and language have shed additional lustre. The Latin Orations delivered by him on the numerous occasions upon which he has presented illustrious individuals, both foreigners and fellow-countrymen, to the University for the honorary degree of D.C.L. have always been highly admired; but perhaps they never were more worthy of admiration than at the installations of Lord Grenville in 1809, and of the Duke of Wellington in 1834; and on the visit of the allied Sove- reigns to Oxford in 1814. The University, in estimation of his services, passed the following resolution, transmitted to their Professor in a letter from Dr. Lee, the Vice Chancellor :- "At a meeting of the Vice Chancellor, Heads of Houses, and Proctors, on Monday, February the 3rd, 1817. "Resolved, That the Delegates of the Press be requested to present a large paper copy of the quarto edition of Lord Clarendon's History of the Rebellion, bound in morocco and stamped with the University Arms, to Joseph Phillimore, LL.D., and Regius Professor of Civil Law, in acknowledgement of the distinguished manner in which he discharged his official duty in the Theatre, on the occasion of the Royal visit, and more recently on that of his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia. "J. GUTCH, Registrar." On the installation of the Marquess of Camden as Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, in 1834, Dr. Phillimore was invited to Cambridge, to receive an honorary degree from the sister university. He was made chancellor of the diocese of Worcester, commissary of the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's, and King's Advocate, in his office of Admiralty, in 1834;- chancellor of the diocese of Bristol, 1842; -and judge of the Consistory Court at Gloucester, 1846. In politics he was attached to "the Grenvilles ;" and, so early as 1806, he was employed by the Government as com- missioner for the disposal of the Prus- sian ships and cargoes, confiscated and seized under the retaliatory measures adopted in the spring of that year: this commission was extended, in 1807, to the confiscated ships and cargoes belonging to Denmark. On the death of Mr. Horner, Dr. Phillimore was returned to Parliament for St. Mawes, March 17, 1817, and repre- sented that borough until the dissolution in June, 1826; and he sat for Yarmouth from 1826 until the dissolution, on the 24th of July, 1830. He made many re- markable speeches, on subjects having an important bearing upon questions of great interest, foreign and domestic, especially those on the Foreign Enlistment Act, on International Law, and the affair at Terceira, on the Law of Marriage, on the Roman Catholic claims, and the speech in which he advocated with much spirit the grant of a pension to Mr. Canning's family. On the accession of his friends to office he was appointed a Commissioner for the Affairs of India, Feb. 8, 1822, and retired with them, after the untimely death of Mr. Canning, and on the subsequent dis- solution of Lord Goderich's Administration, Feb. 9, 1828. It had been just settled that Dr. Phillimore was to receive the office of King's Advocate, but the breaking up of the administration prevented his appoint- ment to that post. His name was placed first in a commission for the settlement of the French claims, Jan. 23, 1833; and to these duties was subsequently added the settlement of certain Danish claims; and, after that, of some Spanish claims. was also nominated Chairman of the Regis- tration Commission, Sept. 13, 1836, and drew up the able report which closed its labours. This irksome and laborious duty was undertaken and performed without any remuneration. He He was the author of a pamphlet, en- titled "Reflections on the Nature and Extent of the Licence Trade," which ap- peared anonymously in January, 1811; but to the second edition of which, in the following July, he prefixed his name and a preface. In February, 1812, he wrote a "Letter, addressed to a Member of the House of Commons, respecting the Orders in Council and the Licence Trade." This also reached a second edition in the April following. He is also the first who ever published the decisions of the Ecclesias- tical Courts. He undertook this task at the earnest exhortation of his friend, Mr. Horner, and the first part of the first vo- lume of his Reports appeared in 1816, and the three volumes were completed in 1820. His zealous advocacy of the claims of the Roman Catholics to the privileges of other citizens, produced 15 letters, addressed to him in the Morning Post, in March, April, May, and June, 1819, signed "Philopatris, some of which were reprinted as a pamph- let. He also published the substance of a Speech, which he made in the House of Commons, on moving for leave to bring 439 in a Bill to amend the Marriage Act, in 1822; and, in 1833, he published the Reports of Cases argued before Sir George Lee, appending to them a brief memoir of that eminent judge. He also printed, in 1848, a judgment, delivered in his capacity of judge of the Ecclesiastical Court, at Gloucester. He was elected a trustee of the Busby Charity, May 23, 1840. His attachment to the place of his education has been unshaken through evil report and good report. He has evinced it by his regular attendance at the Anniver- saries, Elections, and Plays, especially the two latter, from which he has rarely been absent; but still more solidly has he shown his affection by sending his six sons to be educated there also. For four of them, see Elections 1824, 1828, 1840, and Admissions 1832. The other two necessarily remained but a short time at the school. The eldest of them, GREVILLE PHILLIMORE, having re- ceived a nomination to the Charter House, migrated thither, and from thence to Christ Church, Oxford;-was admitted a canoneer student, 1838;-graduated B.A. 1841;- M.A. 1845; and is still on the Student's List, and in holy orders. The other, Au- GUSTUS PHILLIMORE, was removed to the Naval College at Portsmouth, in 1834, and has received a medal for the China war, and has been, since Feb. 28, 1848, flag- lieutenant to Admiral Sir William Parker in the Mediterranean. The Rev. W. Bagot (Election 1750) was the maternal grand- father of these six sons. To them it must be a matter of regret that this notice was not written by one more capable of doing justice to the subject, and one who was not restrained by motives, which will be readily understood, from enlarging upon it; but the writer of these few lines will be excused if he describes their feelings towards their father in words often heard in the dormitory of St. Peter's College:- "Illum amant: * * * illi credunt consilia omnia; illum diligunt. * Illum, ut vivat, optant;" inasmuch as * * "Dos est magna parentium Virtus." A few lines more must be spared, as in other cases, to the other persons of this name who have received their early educa- tion at Westminster School :- WILLIAM PHILLIMORE and JOSEPH PHIL- LIMORE were the only children of Robert Phillimore, Esq., of Kensington, and were both town-boys. WILLIAM married young, and did not go to either University. He inherited the estate called Kendalls, in Herts, and other property from his mother's brother, Mr. Jephson, besides the chief part of his. father's property at Kensington; and had one son, WILLIAM ROBERT PHILLIMORE, Esq., who was at Westminster School, but sent away for a rebellion against Dr. Smith (Election 1750), in which SIR FRANCIS BUR- DETT shared the same fate, with the addi- tion of the disagreeable incident of being knocked down by Dr. Smith, with a stick he had brought up into school. He suc- ceeded to the estates on the death of his father, Oct. 17, 1818, æt. 70, and died himself at Kendalls, May 2, 1829. JOSEPH PHILLIMORE, father of the above student, was entered at Christ Church as a gentleman commoner, in 1768, and gra- duated B.A. He entered into holy orders, and lived in London, near Dorking in Surrey, and afterwards at Kensington: latterly he resided at Orton on the Hill, Leicestershire, to which vicarage he was presented by his friend, Bishop Randolph, in 1804. He died there, July 29, 1831, aged 81. His wife was Mary, daughter of John Machin, Esq. Besides two sons on the foundation (Election 1802), he had another educated at Westminster School, WILLIAM PHILLIMORE, Esq., of Deacon's Hill, Herts, who during many years had considerable practice at the Chancery Bar;-formerly a commissioner, and still a visitor of lunatics; -a director of the Globe Insurance Office, and of the South Sea Company;-a ma- gistrate for the counties of Middlesex and Hertfordshire, and Chairman of the Quar- ter Sessions at St. Alban's. Besides a son in College (Election 1825), he also has had a son a town-boy, WILLIAM THORNTON PHILLIMORE, lieutenant in the 10th Bengal Native Infantry.-Oxf. Grad.; Gazettes; Watt's Bibl.

He died in London, July 31, 1817; but there is a marble monument to his memory in Llan- daff Cathedral, which was erected by a considerable number of the nobility, clergy, gentry, and freeholders of the county. Oxf. Grad.; Parl. Lists; Gent. Mag. lxxxvii. 185; Burke's Baronetage. He had four sons educated at West- minster School as town-boys. The eldest, now SIR BENJAMIN HALL, of Llanover and of Abercarn, married the heiress of Llanover Court, Monmouthshire, and was created a baronet, August 16, 1838. He was elected Member of Parlia- ment for Monmouth, in 1833 and 1835, and for Marylebone, in 1837, 1841, and 1847. RICHARD CRAWSHAY HALL, Esq., and CHARLES RANKEN HALL, in holy orders; WILLIAM THOMAS HALL, a captain in the army. L. B. ALLEN, brother to J. H. Allen (Election 1789). He was sent to West- minster School at a very early age. For the reason mentioned above he took no degree at Cambridge, but was called to the bar by the Society of Lincoln's Inn, in 1803. Two years afterwards a piece of good fortune befell him, in his election as Warden of Dulwich College: the person elected must bear the name of Allen, and a friend of Mr. Allen had, unknown to him, put his name down as a candidate, and he was the one chosen out of seven, 1805. He succeeded to the Mastership of Dulwich in 1811. His marriage with the niece of Sir Samuel Romilly obliged him to give up his connection with the College, after it had subsisted for 16 years. He was appointed one of the police magistrates of Union Hall, Southwark, in 1819, and one of the Six 3 L 442 Clerks in Chancery, 1825. From the last- named place he retired on a pension, on Lord Lyndhurst's alteration of the office, in 1842. In 1821, Mr. Allen published a pamphlet, entitled, "Brief Considerations on the Present State of the Police of the Metropolis;" and he unsuccessfully con- tested the borough of Lambeth in 1832. Mr. Allen continued to live at Dulwich after his connection with the College had ceased, and divided his time between that and his estate, called Cilrhiw, in Pem- brokeshire, where he died, in his 71st year, October 28, 1845. He had married again, in 1841, the daughter of his intimate friend, Mr. Bayly, with whom he was elected to Cambridge. His two sons, by his first wife, were both on the foundation at Westminster (Elec- tion 1838, and Admissions 1837). To any who knew Mr. Allen it would be needless to bear any testimony to the straightforward honesty, kindness of heart, and warm friendship, which were the cha- racteristics throughout life of his active and benevolent understanding; but it may be permitted to the son of one of his oldest friends, who has often enjoyed his hos- pitality, to insert this tribute of respect to his memory. It may also be mentioned, that even at school his love of truth was so conspicuous, that Dr. Vincent pre- sented him with a prize book, inscribed "Lancelot Baugh Allen, veridico." The College at Dulwich derived great benefit from his management of its estates, which he greatly improved; and it was to him that it was indebted for the pictures which form one of its principal attractions to strangers. Sir Francis Bourgeois was in doubt what was best to be done with the pictures which had been collected by his kinsman, M. Desenfans, for the King of Poland, and had almost decided upon breaking up the collection, when he met Mr. Allen at dinner at Mr. Bayly's, and a negotiation began, which ended in an agreement, on the part of the College, to give 5000l., which had already been set apart by them to restore the old picture gallery; and on Sir Francis' part, to give them the collection, with 90007. or 10,000l. additional for the gallery.-Brayley's Sur- rey, iii. 236. 240; Gent.

BAYLY, of whom mention has more than once been made in the foregoing notice, by the death of an elder brother (who was also at Westminster School), became heir to a large estate in the West Indies, and married Lady Sarah Villiers, daughter of George, fourth Earl of Jersey, in September, 1799. He resides at Hamp- ton Court. One of his sons, CHARLES VIL- LIERS BAYLY Esq., was educated at West- minster School, but not on the foundation. -Collins' Peerage, iii. 795. 8 R. MOORE, brother to E.

PAGE, born, Feb. 18, 1778, at Frodsham, Cheshire, the eldest son of the Rev. W. E. Page (Election 1755). He was sent at twelve years old to Westminster School; and before he left it for the Uni- versity, had gained a considerable reputa- tion for proficiency in his classical studies, and especially in his poetical compo- sitions. He continued to cultivate these attainments on his removal to Oxford, and they were of good service to him when he returned to Westminster as second master, in 1802; for whilst he held that office, as well as when he held that of Head-master, to which he was promoted on Dr. Carey's retirement, in 1814, he composed most of the epilogues and prologues for the annual plays himself. In 1802 he took his M.A. degree, and also was ordained priest and deacon. He proceeded B.D. in 1809, and D.D. in 1815. He was presented to the living of Willen, Bucks, Feb. 25, 1806, and remained vicar thereof until his death. He became vicar of Steventon, being Dr. Carey's option, as prebendary of Westminster, 1812; and, in the same year, was presented, by the Archbishop of York, to the rectory of Nunburnholme, Yorkshire. He vacated both these livings in 1817, when, by the interest of the same prelate (who had been a friend of his father), he obtained the rectory of Quainton, Bucks: the Arch- bishop also nominated him sub-almoner in the place of Dr. Carey. Dr. Page's career of usefulness was put an end to by his premature death, which took place at Ox- ford, September 20, 1819. His remains were buried in Christ Church Cathedral. As a testimony to his eminent services, a very large sum of money was cheerfully raised by old Westminsters, for the support and education of his family, reduced by his sudden death to great poverty. His four sons were all admitted King's Scholars, and three of them were elected to Christ Church (Elections 1823, 1826, and 1836, and Admissions 1828). He has also had two nephews, by marriage, on the founda- tion (Admissions 1832 and 1844); and two of his grandchildren, sons of Bishop Lips- combe, are now in college. His only published works are a sermon, preached at Bishop Jackson's consecration, in 1812, and some discourses delivered in the Chapel Royal, in his capacity of sub- almoner.-Oxf.

He did not accept of his election to Cambridge, but was entered as a commoner of Christ Church, Oxford, and nominated a canoneer student of that house by DR. THOS. SHAFTO, 1796. He graduated M.A. in 1801; and in the July of that year was appointed second clerk assistant to the House of Commons.

He obtained the Chancellor's prize for Latin verse-subject," Religio Brahmæ," دو 448 1800; was usher of Westminster School, 1803-4;-appointed a prebendary of York, 1803;-graduated M.A. 1804;-served the perpetual curacy of Cowley, Oxon., 1806; was nominated select preacher before the University, and professor of Anglo-Saxon, 1808;-elected professor of Poetry, 1812; -vicar of Bath-Easton, 1812;-appointed Bampton lecturer, 1824. He resigned the professorship of Poetry in 1821. He died at Blackheath, June 11, 1824, but was buried at Bath-Easton on the 20th, his funeral being numerously attended by the clergy and gentry of the neighbour- hood, and the poor of the parish. He is thus described in the following passage of Mr. Impey's Memoirs (p. 376):- "But I had fairly caught the inspiration (in Latin verse) from my more immediate * *to predecessor, J. J. Conybeare, * whose memory it is ever my delight to pay the tribute of admiration and affection. He was my dearest friend and inseparable companion both at Westminster and at Oxford. For many years he has been no more, but I feel his loss as though it were a recent sorrow. His genius, his research, his rare acquirements, are well known to the literary world, through his 'Illustra- tions of Anglo-Saxon Poetry,' which were ably edited by his brother, the distin- guished geologist and divine, my much- respected friend, W. D. Conybeare, Dean of Llandaff" (see p. 366). They were pub- lished in 1826. Besides the work referred to by Mr. Impey, Mr. Conybeare published, on theological subjects, his Bampton Lec- tures, and "A Reply to Palæoromaica ;" and, although he was not a member of the Society of Antiquaries, he made many valuable communications to that body; and, in 1814, forwarded many contributions to the British Bibliographer. He had made great progress in the study of mineralogy, geology, and chemistry; and his numerous scientific papers on these subjects are em- bodied in the Transactions of the Geolo- gical Society, and in the "Annals of Phi- losophy." A detailed biographical account of him appeared in the latter work, from the abridgment of which, in the Gentle- man's Magazine (xciv. 187. 376), this sketch has been partly taken. His loss to the church, to literature, and to science, was lamented in many articles in different pub- lications; one of them was from the pen of his friend and schoolfellow, Archdeacon Moysey. Oxf.

The following stanzas were written by E. B. Impey (Elec- tion 1797), who treasured the memory of his friendship with his old schoolfellow even in his last illness; and among whose papers was found a small packet, marked 66 Reliquiæ amici dulcissimi Gualteri Bagot!

B. IMPEY, son of Sir Elijah Impey (Election 1747), and brother of H. and Edw. Impey (Admissions 1798, and of this year), graduated M.A., and was nominated to the faculty studentship given to literary men, in 1806. He served for a short time in the army, being appointed a cornet in the 14th Dragoons, Dec. 17, 1808, but retired in less than two years from a profession uncon- genial to his habits and tastes, and devoted himself to the cultivation of poetry and literature, in which he delighted. He pub- lished a small volume of poems in 1811; and "A gratulatory Poem, suggested by the Commemoration at Oxford, June 30, 1813." The latter "lines are inscribed to Joseph Phillimore, LL.D., in testimony of the able part he took in the ceremony to which they relate (see p. 344), and as a tribute of affection from the Author." In 1841, he gave to the world two volumes, entitled "Il- lustrations of German Poetry, with Notes, &c.;" these were dedicated to the Marquis of Lansdowne. In all his works are to be found evident marks of the deep affection with which he regarded his friends and schoolfellows, an affection which (as the Editor must out of gratitude remark) he extended amply to their children. Sensi- tive by nature even to a fault, it was not possible that he could read unmoved the renewal of the attacks on the memory of a father whom he had loved and honored, and the last work which he published was a large octavo volume, containing the vindi- cation of Sir Elijah referred to at p. 346. This specimen of filial piety was completed in September, 1846. But the wound which had been inflicted upon his affectionate mind, coupled with the irksome and la- borious task of searching his family docu- ments, and the records at the East India House, were too much for the health of a man already somewhat advanced in years. He died, after more than two years of severe illness, at his house on Clapham Common, May 3, 1849, having been a stu- dent of Christ Church for nearly 50 years. His death was feelingly lamented, and his amiable manners, virtuous life, and classical tastes dwelt upon, in a set of verses spoken in College Hall, on the Election Tuesday after his death. He had been a constant attendant at the Westminster anniversaries, and had often given the assistance of his skilful muse in epilogues and epigrams.- Oxf. Grad.; Gazettes; Watt. Bibl. Brit.;.

The Editor cannot refrain from adding a passing word of lamentation, in gratitude to one from whom, when he went to school, in 1827, he received such kindness and encouragement as made a deep impression upon him: an expression of grateful remembrance the more suitable to this place, as by the Dean's early death the readers of this book have lost much valuable information and many important suggestions for its improvement; for, with his wonted kindness towards the Editor, and his interest about anything connected with the School, he had offered (as his notes were of a nature too private to commit to the hands of another), to re- 456 vise and correct this work, to the under- taking of which he had given the Editor great encouragement.

The Archbishop's brother, HENRY VENA- BLES-VERNON, third LORD VERNON, was born, April 18, 1747, and died March 27, 1829. He was educated at Westminster School. Having married the daughter and heiress of Sir Charles Sedley, he changed his name to SEDLEY, but again adopted his patronymic, when, in 1813, he succeeded his elder brother by the half blood in the title and estates of the Vernons. ⚫ His eldest son, GEORGE CHARLES SEDLEY, was born in Dec. 4, 1799, and died at Gib- raltar, Nov. 18, 1838. He also was edu- cated at Westminster School, and succeeded his father as fourth LORD VERNON.-Oxf. Grad.; Collins' Peerage, vii. 408; Burke's Peerage; Gazettes; Gent. Mag. xcix. 564, v.

Smedley (Election 1769), and of Hannah, fourth daughter of George Bellas, Esq., of Willey, co. Surrey, was born September 12, 1788, and admitted into Westminster School before he had completed the seventh year of his age. He is said very early to have displayed the taste and genius for English verse for which he was remarkable in after life. During the interval between his de- parture from Westminster and his residence at Cambridge, he was sent to his cousin at Wrexham (Election 1793). From his dislike to the study of mathematics, he obtained only that place in the examinations for the degree of B.A. in 1809, which is nicknamed the Wooden Spoon. After taking his de- gree, he passed some months in Scotland, as tutor to the son of Sir John Maxwell of Polloc. In 1810, one of the members' prizes for Latin prose, as a middle bachelor, was 463 SO awarded to him; and in 1811 he obtained a similar distinction as senior bachelor. In the following year he published, anony- mously, his first work, "A few Verses, English and Latin." In February, 1813, he had been elected a Fellow of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge. He obtained the Seatonian prize for English verse in the year 1813, when the subject was "The Death of Saul and Jonathan," and in 1814, when it was "Jephthah;" and, although he was not successful in the following year, the examiners were pleased with his poem on "Jonah" that they requested him to print it. He left off writing for this prize until 1827, when he was again successful on the "Marriage of Cana;" as he was also in 1828, on "Saul at Endor." He had been ordained in 1811, but his parochial duties had been confined to acting as curate to his father at Meopham. In July, 1815, he received from his father's old friend Dean An- drewes (Election 1769), the appointment of clerk in orders of St. James's parish, Westminster; the same kind patron having shortly before this nominated him preacher at St. James's Chapel, Tottenham Court Road. Upon receiving these preferments (although the stipends were very small, and the first was only a temporary appoint- ment), Mr. Smedley vacated his fellowship and married the daughter of James Hume, Esq., of Wandsworth, a Commissioner of the Customs. Shortly afterwards he filled the office of evening lecturer at St. Giles's, Camberwell. In 1819 he vacated the office of clerk in orders at St. James's; he lost the preachership of that church on Dean Andrewes' death in 1825; about which time also he lost his preachership at Cam- berwell; and he resigned the cure of his chapel in 1831. From this time, therefore, he held no preferment except the prebend of Sleaford in the Cathedral of Lincoln, to which he had been collated by the Bishop of Lincoln in 1829, and from which he never received more than ten pounds a year; nevertheless, he contrived, during many years, by his learning, his abilities, and his incessant industry, to maintain his family in honorable independence, and to triumph over bodily infirmities and afflic- tions, enduring and keen enough to have exhausted the patience, and soured the tem- per of any one endowed with a temper less amiable than his own, or whose mind was less trained to the exercise of Christian re- signation. He continued his labours until within a few months of his death, which happened on the 29th of June, 1836. He submitted to his long trial and grievous physical ailments, not only without re- pining, but with cheerfulness. No murmur ever passed his lips. No ungentle expres- sions of ill temper, however transient, aggra- vated the painful duties of his family. His death was the departure of a pious and zealous minister of Christ, full of faith and full of hope, loving and beloved. He died at Dulwich, to which place he had removed from Wandsworth. A volume, containing selections from his poetry and some of his letters, was edited in 1837, for the benefit of his widow, who was also gratified by the publication of a volume of poetry by various hands, entitled "The Tribute," begun under the auspices of Lord North- ampton, for Mr. Smedley's benefit, before his death, and completed, like the memoir, in 1837. 29 99 His poetical works, besides those already alluded to, were: "Prescience, or the Secrets of Divination," a poem in two books, pub- lished in 1816; "Religio Clerici, or a Churchman's Epistles," a poem, in 1818; "A Churchman's Second Epistle," in 1819; "The Parson's Choice, or Town and Coun- try," in 1821; and "Lux Renata, a Protes- tant's Epistle," about 1827. His publica- tions in prose were: the sermon which he preached upon Dean Andrewes' death, in 1825; a pamphlet on Westminster School, printed anonymously, in 1829; "The His- tory of Venice," forming two volumes of the Family Library, in 1831-2; "The His- tory of the Reformed Religion in France,' (three volumes of the Theological Library,) 1832-4; "The History of France," from the final partition of the Empire of Charle- magne to the Peace of Cambray," a closely- printed octavo, written for the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, and completed but a short time before his death. He wrote likewise the historical portions of the "Annual Registers" for the years 1799, 1800, and 1801, and the biographical articles in the "Penny Cyclopædia"; and was at one time a frequent contributor to the "British Critic;" but his principal employment was the superintendence of the "Encyclopædia Metropolitana," of which he accepted the editorship in 1822, beginning with the seventh number, writing many of the ar- ticles himself, and revising all. He was much attached to Westminster School, and rejoiced much in being enabled to send thither his son, EDWARD HUME SMEDLEY, appointed a clerk in the audit office in August, 1835, through the kindness of Lord Monteagle.-Romilly's Cant.

This distinguished barrister was the son of an Irish gentleman, who, during the last years of his life was vice-treasurer and paymaster of the forces in Ireland. From his earliest infancy he 493 showed signs of the extraordinary powers of mind with which he was gifted, and many instances are recorded of the pre- cocious character of his understanding, and of his early inclination to intellectual pursuits. At eight years old he was sent to Dr. Greenlaw's School, at Isleworth, and in the spring of 1821 to Westminster School. He left Westminster in 1823, and went to Mr. Greenlaw, of Blackheath, with the intention of preparing himself for the Ar- tillery of the East India Company; but having been persuaded to abandon that project, he was entered at Trinity College, Dublin, in October, 1828; and obtained a scholarship there in the following year, and the gold medal in 1830. He was called to the bar at the Inner Temple, May 3, 1834, joined the Oxford Circuit, and went the Hereford and Gloucester Sessions. He was chosen lecturer to the Incorporated Law Society, in 1838; and the lectures on the Law of Contracts, which he delivered in that capacity, were highly admired, and published in 1847. In 1840, his reputation earned for him the post of a revising barrister, on his circuit. His principal works are:-"A Compen- dium of Mercantile Law," and, "Leading Cases on various Branches of Law;" the former (which is said to be the work most conducive to his fame), appeared in 1834; an American edition was printed in 1847, and a fourth edition in London, in 1848; the latter work appeared for the first time in 1837, and reached a third edition in 1849. Mr. Smith also published, "A View of the Proceedings in an Action at Law," 1835, which went into a fourth edition in 1851; an "Epitome of the Law of Patents," 1836; also, a "Manual of Equity Jurisprudence;" "Questions and Answers on the Law of Real Property." But the con- fident expectation of the legal profession and of his friends, that he would himself reap the fruit of the labour he had bestowed, and of the services which he had conferred upon his profession, by rising to its highest honors, was frustrated by his early death. His abilities had not been directed solely to legal matters. His classical attainments were of a very high order. He had a strong sense of what was humorous, ex- tensive powers of reasoning, a memory which may truly be called prodigious; and, which is his highest praise, his conduct during his last illness proved that neither the necessary pursuits of his calling, nor the more pleasureable allurements of litera- ture, had withdrawn his mind from the weightier objects of man's existence, for he died in the faith, as he seems to have lived in the practice, of Christianity. Mr. Smith was born Jan. 23, 1809, and died Dec. 17, 1845.-The facts of this notice have been taken from a biographical sketch of him published in the Law Magazine, vol. xxxv. 93; London Catalogue; Cata- logue Brit.

Few boys ever passed through the School with so remarkable a reputation, or left it with so bright a promise of future distinction. From the day of his admission to that of his departure, he was, according to the inscription in his last prize book, "facilè princeps" over all competitors. At Oxford his success fully sustained-more cannot be said the expectations excited by his career at Westminster. In 1828, he ob- tained the Newdigate Prize, the subject being "Richard Coeur de Lion." In 1830, the highest honors, both in the classical and mathematical schools, were awarded to him. In 1831, he took the degree of B.A. In 1834, he won the University Prize for the English Essay; he also obtained the prize for the Latin Prize Essay, given by Christ Church to the Bachelors of that House. Soon after he had taken his degree at Oxford, he married, and on leav- ing the University was elected from among many candidates of great literary repu- tation and more advanced years, the first Classical Professor of King's College, Lon- don. His unceasing toil, various and deep reading, and brilliant abilities, speedily invested this recent institution with a fame which is usually the growth of years, and the result of rich endowments. His inaugural lecture on "The Ad- vantages of Classical Literature," was de- servedly admired, and published after its delivery. Soon, however, his constitution, origin- ally feeble, sunk under the pressure of unceasing toil and the ungenial atmosphere of London. He retired to Torbay, and took pupils, intending to enter into holy orders. About this period he composed a volume of beautiful hymns, which were privately printed. He died on the 29th of February, 1836, at the age of 27. His death was in perfect harmony with his life. The same practical faith which had enabled him to escape the sins which beset boyhood and youth, which had hal- lowed the labours of his short but brilliant life, disarmed death of its sting, and the grave of its victory. His brother was admitted into College in this year. 3 s 2 500 [The Editor feels himself bound to acknow- that he is indebted to R. J.

He was drowned in the Lock-pool at Sandford, near Oxford, June 23, 1843, in the vain endeavour to save his friend and fellow- student, William Gaisford, third son of the Dean of Christ Church (see page 37), with whom he was bathing. Both perished; and were interred together in the Cathedral at Christ Church, on the 30th of June, having been followed to the grave by all the resident students and members of Christ Church, and very many friends from other colleges. An upright stone, on the river-bank at Sandford, raised to the memory of these young men, serves to mark the spot where they were lost, and to commemorate the affection and the respect in which they were held by their fellow-students and con- temporaries; by whom also a monument was erected in the Cathedral as a further testimony of their affection, and of their deep sympathy with the families of their friends in this grievous affliction. These proofs of kind feeling are selected from among many others, and recorded, by one of the mourners on that occasion, with deep gratitude, and in a lively recollec- tion of the consolation they afforded in that hour of grief. They exemplify in a striking manner the truth of a saying of Lord Bacon in his Wisdom of the Ancients 517 (to which the Editor has been kindly re- ferred by a friend): "Among all the dis- asters that can happen to mortals, there is none so lamentable, and so powerful to move compassion, as the flower of virtue cropped with too sudden a mischance." (B. Montagu's edition, iii. 41.) All who had any knowledge of the sub- ject of this notice must agree that the fol- lowing inscription, written by his sorrowing parent, and erected in the church of his native place, gives no exaggerated picture of his rare talents, his varied attainments, or his virtuous disposition. It is given in preference to the epitaph on the monument at Christ Church, which was unfortunately somewhat shortened, for want of room in the Cathedral:- M. S.

Mr. Waterfield, however, preferred an ap- pointment to a Bengal writership, and he is now at Haileybury, where he keeps up the reputation he had earned at West- minster.

I. LIST OF THE CAPTAINS OF EACH ELECTION, AS ADMITTED ON THE FOUNDATION OF ST. PETER'S COLLEGE. COPIED FROM THE TABLETS IN THE DORMITORY. THIS list has been accurately copied from the tablets in the Dormitory. These tablets are each composed of two columns. Of the time of their erection no tradition exists, and no record has been discovered beyond the inscription given below, written along the bottom of the two earliest, which hang on the southern wall of the Dormitory. Although this inscription only extends along the two first tablets, and although there is a slight difference both in the size, and in the mould- ing of the third tablet, it is yet evident, on a close examination, that the third tablet was contemporary with the other two; the names as far as Fras. Morice being of the same character, and clearly of the same date, as the names in the two first tablets: the name of Joh. Rust wears very nearly, but not quite, the same appearance as that of Fras. Morice. It is certain that the tablets must have been put up after the new Dormitory came into use, i.e., about 1732. Who, then, was the G. M. Armiger who was the giver of this gift to the king's scholars, and the originator of a custom continued up to the present time? It is confidently answered that it must have been Gulielmus Morice, admitted in 1705, Bishop Atterbury's son-in-law, and the father of Francis Morice, admitted head-boy into College in 1736. Mr. Morice's connection with the Chapter, and the interest he took in the School, have been alluded to in the notices on his name and Bishop Atterbury's; and it seems likely that his son's success in obtaining the first place might suggest such a present to the king's scholars, especially when the recent erection of the Dormitory would make it more appropriate. An examination of the names under the letter M. in the Index will show that the only other persons to whom the Latin initials G. M. could by any possibility apply, are-Gulielmus Morgan, elected in 1640, who might have been, so far as dates are concerned, the father of Rich. Morgan, admitted in 1670; and Gulielmus Martin, elected in 1642, who, in the same way, might have been the father of Rich. Martin, admitted in 1679. These dates alone demonstrate the impossibility of either of these persons (even supposing the relationship mentioned above, and supposing them to have been laymen) being the donor of the tablets; and it will be seen, moreover, by a reference to page 118, that the Christian name of Martin is doubtful. Another question which must, it is apprehended, remain unsolved is, whence the list was obtained from which the names were taken; for the six names marked with an asterisk (*) do not occur elsewhere. The date at the head of the first column of the first tablet is evidently wrong; and it seems not improbable that 1629 was miscopied for 1609, which would agree better with Bishop Morley's date, as it is possible that he may have been six years in college, and Wood only says that he was admitted at fourteen years, or thereabouts. This alteration, however, would leave several years without the name of a Captain until Stephen Crespion, 1663, when the admissions began to be regularly handed down. 3 Y 2 532 No. 1. 16291. G.

He was the only son of Edward, third son of Thomas, first Earl of Exeter; and, con- sequently, great-grandson to the famous Lord Burghley, already (pp. 52, 55) alluded to as a patron of Westminster Scholars, and a benefactor to the School. Sir Edward Cecil was a soldier of great renown; was created Baron Cecil, of Put- ney, 1625, and Viscount Wimbledon, 1626; and nominated a privy councillor. His third wife, and the mother of this boy, was Sophia, daughter of Sir Edward Zouche, of Woking, Surrey.-Dug- dale's Baronage, ii. 407. 533 No. 2. 1678. Rt. Cholmondley, Nob. Rich. Edwards. C.

John Jeffreys was the offspring of his father's second marriage, with the daughter of Sir Thomas Bludworth, Lord Mayor of London, in 1666, and the widow of Sir John Jones, of Glamorganshire. His birth, very shortly after his mother's marriage, which followed closely upon the death of his father's first wife, was a circum- stance not forgotten in the numerous satires upon the fallen Chancellor. He was a person of dis- sipated habits, and inherited his father's vice of excessive drinking. The chief anecdote related of him is his interruption of Dryden's funeral. He seems, nevertheless, to have possessed con- siderable talents. Lord Orford has given him a place in his Catalogue of Noble Authors (Park's edition, ii. 9-10), and mentions, as having been written by him, a fable, and a burlesque entitled "A Translation of an Elegy on the Duke of Gloucester, by Dr. Bentley;" and attributes to him, "An Argument in Favour of Monopolies."

Triplett was a native of Oxfordshire, a student of Christ Church, Oxford, where he graduated in due course, and became a celebrated Greek scholar. Having been ejected from a pre- bendal stall, at Salisbury, and other benefices, during the rebellion, he maintained himself by "teaching school," first at Dublin, and afterwards at Hayes, in Middlesex. At the Restoration, he was made vicar of Woodhorne, Northumberland, and of Whitburn and Washington, Durham, to all which livings he left charitable bequests. He was made prebendary of Westminster, Jan. 20, 1661; and created D.D. by diploma, at Oxford, on the first of April following. He died July 18, 1670, æt. 70, and was buried in the southern transept of Westminster Abbey, where there is a monument to his memory.-Fasti Oxf. ii. 255-6; Widmore, 224; Neale's West.

An account of each of these benefactions has been given at pp. 96-7, 150, 235, 260, and 429 re- spectively; but it may be stated that the sums distributed on account of Dr. Frewen's and Dr. Lee's bequests, from 1817 to 1824, varied from £130 to £200 per annum. The following account of the only benefaction to Westminsters, at Trinity College, Cambridge (besides their fair share of all the advantages of an ordinary foundation scholarship), has been kindly supplied by the Rev. JOHN ALEXANDER FRERE 13, at the request of the Rev. T. W. Weare. The benefaction is from a bequest under the "Will of Peter Samwaies, S.T.P. (see page 106), Prebendary of York, and Rector of Bedale and Wath, in the county of York, dated 16th July, 1691.-He gave his lands at Middleton (then let for £50 per annum) in trust for certain uses, a portion (then £15) to be disposed by two equal portions to two of the Westminster Scholars, which shall be elected from thence, for buying them books at the time of their admission into their scholarships, such two scholars as shall in the judgment of the Master and Seniors in respect to their poverty, piety, and good behaviour, be esteemed the most proper objects of this charity. But if the Master and Seniors shall think fit that all of the West- minster Scholars shall be qualified to receive a share in this benevolence, my will is, that it shall be equally divided amongst all that are elected from Westminster, at their time of admission into the profits of their scholarships. "The rent of the estate has been such of late years as to admit of 697. 12s. per annum being given as above, to the Westminster Scholars in the year of their admission." Dean GOODMAN and Archbishop NEILE ought also to be considered benefactors. For the former, see pp. 7-8. To the account of Archbishop Neile, pp. 15-16, should be added the following extract from the account he drew up of what had been done by the Dean and Chapter in his time, copied from Neale's Westminster Abbey," i. 122-3:- 66 "Myself have yearly sent out of this School (besides those six that have been elected), whom I have gotten placed in other colleges besides Trinity College and Christ Church, some years two, some years three, and with some charge to me; which I have carefully done in a thankful remem- brance of God's goodness showed to me in my being preferred from this School to St. John's College, Cambridge, by the honourable bounty of my foundress and patroness, the Lady Mildred Burghley, &c." 12 See pages 18-19. 13 The Rev. J. A. FRERE was educated at Westminster School and at Trinity College, Cambridge. He graduated B.A. 1838;--M.A. 1841; and is a Fellow and Tutor of his college, and Christian Advocate in the University. 3 z 20 In lo villagio Nº. IV. DEAN IRELAND'S BENEFACTION TO WESTMINSTER SCHOOL. "AT the Election on Wednesday, May 10, 1820, the Dean (Dr. Ireland) stated to the Electors his intention of founding certain prizes for the encouragement and reward of poetical taste in Westminster School. The following is the mode in which it was determined to carry the proposal into execution :- "1st. The Dean is to purchase the sum of £500 of three per cent. consolidated annuities, and vest it in the joint names of the Reverend Charles Henry Hall, Dean of Christ Church, Oxford; the Reverend Christopher Wordsworth, Master of Trinity College, Cambridge; the very Reverend John Ireland, Dean of West- minster; and the Reverend Edmund Goodenough, Head Master of Westminster School, as Trustees, for the purpose hereafter to be mentioned; the vacancies which may occur in the trust being to be filled up by the names of those who shall succeed the above persons in their offices for ever. "2nd. The interest of the above sum is to be applied once in every year to the purchase of books, to be distributed among those boys of the School whose compositions shall be adjudged to be of the highest poetical merit. The Head Master is to judge the merits, and to distribute the rewards as "Dean's Prizes." "3rd. If it should happen, that in any year the poems offered should appear to the Head Master not sufficiently deserving of the above intended reward, he may either altogether withhold it, or give only a part of it, according to his discretion, keeping the sum reserved either as an extraordinary reward in some subsequent years, or to answer the expenses occasionally arising from the necessity of new powers of attorney, and the transfer of the stock to other persons instead of those who die, or are promoted to different situations. But it is positively ordered, that no part of this fund shall be alienated to any other purpose; and it is the earnest desire of the founder, that nothing may occur to suspend the regular application of his benefaction to the purpose described in Article 2. "4th. The accounts of this trust are to be produced every year to the Electors, together with those of the other trust monies held by them for the benefit of the School. The Receiver for the Dean and Chapter will receive the dividends by power of attorney from the Trustees, and will keep the accounts in a separate book appropriated to this purpose, and will pay the dividends to the Head Master of the School, according as he shall require. "5th. The subjects of the Poems are to be set by the Head Master of the School, to the boys of the 7th and 6th forms, and to those of the shell form also if he thinks them qualified for the undertaking, with such exceptions, however, as shall from time to time appear proper to him. The number of the prizes awarded, and their relative values, are to be determined by his opinion of the merits of the respective compositions; yet so that there shall never be more than three prizes in any one year. “6th. A book shall be kept by the Head Master of the School, containing a list of the subjects given out in each year, in which the successful candidates shall write a copy of their poems, with their names subscribed to each. A copy of each poem shall be also presented to the Dean." This account is copied from the book kept in accordance with the 6th Article, by the Head Master. The names are taken from that and other sources. 541 A. D. Name. 1. W. Heberden 1821 2. Allfrey 9 1822 1. H. H. Dodgson 1. J. R. Wood 1823 2. H. Sanders 1. J. R. Wood 1824 2. M. W. Ridley 1. C. R.

Labe Esen 543 N. V. WESTMINSTER ANNIVERSARIES. THERE are three occasions in every year which afford to those who have been educated at the School an opportunity of meeting together. Allusions have been made during the course of this work to two of these opportunities-the dinner given by the Dean and Chapter in the College Hall, at the Election of Scholars; and the Annual Play before Christmas. It seems, therefore, only fit that some notice should be taken of the third-the Anniversary Dinner, which is now held at the Thatched House Tavern, and which has been lately fixed for the 2nd Wednes- day after Trinity Sunday. The earliest mention which has been discovered of any meeting of this sort is contained in a thin folio volume, a copy of which is in the British Museum, entitled "Comitia Westmonasteriensia in Collegio Sancti Petri, habita die anniver- sario Fundatricis suæ, Reginæ Elizabethæ, Jan. xv." The dinner appears to have been held in the College Hall, and to have been preceded by the presentation of Latin and English verses and epigrams, some of which, possibly, were spoken; and to have been followed by the representation of a play of Terence, with a prologue and epilogue. The play selected for the year to which the book above quoted refers, 172, was the Phormio, the prologue being in Latin, and the epilogue in English. Mr. Morice, in a letter to Bishop Atterbury, dated January 2, 1724 (from which extracts have already been quoted at page 206), alludes to the approach of this anniversary, when, after mentioning Dr. Friend's favour at Court, he says:- "I foresee, that the next anniversary meeting of Westminster Scholars, on the 15th instant, will vary very much from the last, when great care was taken not to dip into flattery or party." The volume contains the prologue and epilogue, and the verses referred to, with the names of the scholars, whether king's scholars or town-boys, by whom they were, or were supposed to be, composed. The following is a list of the boys who were not king's scholars, whose names are thus affixed to the verses. It seems un- necessary to repeat the names of the king's scholars. The Hon. Robert Hay, second son to the Rt. Hon. the Earl of Kinnoul, of the 7th Form. Charles Sackville, Earl of Middlesex, eldest son of the Duke of Dorset, of the 6th Form. Hon.

The story is thus told by Lord Hervey :--" The incident I mean was this-one night that the Duke of Newcastle came half drunk from a Westminster School feast, where he and LORD CARTERET (being both Westminster scholars) had dined together, he went directly to Sir R. Walpole's, and made a tender in form of Lord Carteret's services, offering at the same time to be surety for his good behaviour," &c.- Hervey's Memoirs, ii. 334-5. 544 The Rt. Hon. Edw.

VERY REVEREND SIR, July, 1847. WE the Undersigned Old Westminsters, understanding that the question of the abolition of the Play annually represented in the dormitory of St. Peter's College, is still under the consideration of yourself and the Chapter over which you preside, and believing that an expression of the feelings and opinions of the general body of Old Westminsters cannot but prove acceptable to you, beg respectfully to address you for the purpose of stating our humble but conscientious convictions on the subject. It is not our intention, nor would it be desirable, to enter into the details of the question in this letter. We are anxious also to disclaim any im- proper interference with the measures of those to whom the management of the School is entrusted; but, though it is natural that our sympathies should be aroused in favour of a custom with which so many of our earliest associations are blended, we seek, apart from such laudable feelings, to record our firm and deliberate belief, founded on experience and reflection, that the abolition of the Westminster Play cannot fail to prove prejudicial to the interests and prosperity of the School.

The Editor is indebted to the retentive memory of one of the candidates in 1793 for such of them as are here given; and, as the gaps are not numerous, he has conceived that the publication of this fragment will be considered a desirable addition to this Appendix.

Dr. Busby is said to have educated sixteen persons who were all bishops at the same time. There are five lists of the boys at West- minster School, in the Harleian MSS. The lists are for the years,- 1706, when the number of boys was (apparently exclusive of the King's scholars) 1727, when the numbers were- Upper school.

In 1792, under Dr. Vincent's rule, the school contained about 306 boys. In Dr. Carey's time, in 1812, the num- bers amounted to 317, 113 belonging to the under school.

NICHOLAS was, as has been discovered by a reference to the ma- triculation register, the son of the Rev. Matthew Nicholas, D.C.L. (younger brother of Sir Edward Nicholas, Secretary of State to King Charles the First), and a native of Salisbury. This Matthew Nicholas, from being a fellow of New College, filled several high posts in the church, and rose to be Dean of Bristol, before the rebellion; and, having suffered for his attachment to the royal cause, was made Dean of St. Paul's, at the Restoration, but died in 1661. The family originally came from Winterbourne- Earle, near Salisbury, where the aforesaid Sir Edw. Nicholas was born; and Dr. M. Nicholas appears in the early part of his life to have written his name Nicholls, and even Nicolls. Wood tells us that the lawyer, Robert Nicholas, was of this family, although he took the opposite course to his kinsmen, and supported the authority of the Parlia- ment and of Cromwell. He was of the Temple, and M.P. for Devizes; "he had (the words are Wood's) in his pleadings some sense, but was extream virulent, and had foul language at command." He was, therefore, appointed one of the managers of the evidence against Archbishop Laud, on the part of the House of Commons, in which capacity he seems to have justified the above expressions of the Oxford anti- quary. This conduct was so pleasing to the ruling powers, that he was made ser- jeant-at-law, in October, 1648;-was ap- pointed puisne justice of the "upper bench," 1649;-was made a baron of the Exchequer, 1655, but returned to the "upper bench," 1659. What further hap- pened to him is not known (Ath. Ox. iv. 29-30, 837-869). He is mentioned here because it is asserted, "Gentleman's Maga- zine," lv. 163 (although, as it seems to the Editor, on not very strong grounds), that he was the person mentioned in the anec- dote related in the "Spectator," No. 313, as having been saved when at Westminster School, by a school-fellow, from a severe flogging from Busby, for having torn the curtain which then divided the upper and lower schools. The school-fellow who en- dured this punishment for his friend was WILLIAM WAKE, the father of Archbishop Wake. William Wake was of Dorsetshire extraction. He was the son of the rector of the Holy Trinity, in Wareham, and was born April 28, 1628;-entered the King's army, in 1646,-was afterwards a colonel in the service; and was a great sufferer for the royal cause. He joined in Penrud- dock's rebellion, in 1655, and during his trial at Exeter was recognised by the school-fellow to whom he had rendered the service above related, and who started off for London, and, by his power and interest with the Protector, was enabled to save the life of his friend. Colonel Wake after- wards lived at Blandford, where he was reduced to follow the clothing trade for a maintenance. He lived to see his son a dignitary of the church, and dying May 29, 1705, was buried at Blandford (Hutchins's Dorset, i. 140). The only known authority for Robert Nicholas having been educated at the School, besides the note in the Magazine above alluded to, is a note to the 569 large paper copy of the "Spectator," which merely states, "as Penruddock in the course of the trial takes occasion to say 'he sees Judge Nicholas on the bench,' it is most likely that he was the judge of assize who tried this cavalier;" but a refer- ence to the trial will show that the prisoners were tried by commissioners, and that Serjeant Glynne was the commis- sioner who took the most active part in the trial, and passed sentence on the pri- soners, whilst Nicholas is not reported even to have answered Penruddock's appeal to him. Now, in the absence of evidence before him to show Nicholas's connection with Westminster School in his early days, it seems to the Editor that, if the anecdote related by Eustace Budgell, in the "Spec- tator," be a true one, it is more probable that Serjeant Glynne was the subject of it, and, therefore, a notice of his life will not be out of its place here. JOHN, son of Sir William, GLYNNE, was born at the ancient seat of his ancestors, Glynnlyfon, Caernarvonshire; "bred (says Wood) in the College School at West- minster, went full ripe in grammar learning to Hart Hall, in Michaelmas term, 1621, aged 18 years; where continuing three years, he retired to Lincoln's Inn, became barrister, a counsellor of note, and bencher." He was made steward of Westminster, re- corder of London, 1643; and was twice, in the two Parliaments of 1640, chosen mem- ber for Westminster. Opposing the Court, he was one of the most active managers against the Earl of Strafford, and was rewarded by the Parliament with the place. of clerk of the petty-bag. In 1646 he made a stand on behalf of the Parliament against the army, and was committed to the Tower and deprived of his recorder's place. On his submission, however, he was liberated, created a serjeant-at-law, 1648, and made one of the commissioners for making the treaty with the King, in the Isle of Wight, but he avoided any share in the King's trial. In 1654 he was made chamberlain of Chester. In 1655, on Chief Justice Rolle's refusal, he was sent into the west with a commission to try the actors in Colonel Penruddock's insurrection; and in the same year was made chief justice of the 'upper bench," from which he was re- moved in 1659. Oliver Cromwell also made him one of his House of Lords, in 1657. In 1658, Glynne published the arguments he had used to induce Oliver Cromwell to seize the throne, under the title of "Mon- archy asserted to be the Best, Most An- cient, and Legal Form of Government," &c.; and with great dexterity, republished the tract, "made good by several arguments," 66 at the Restoration. He sat for the county of Caernarvon, in the Convention Parlia- ment; was knighted and made prime- serjeant by the King, who also conferred a baronetcy on his eldest son, in 1661. Sir John died at his house in Portugal Row, Lincoln's Inn Fields, Nov. 15, 1666, and was interred, "with great solemnity," in his own vault in the chancel of St. Margaret's, Westminster.

MONTAGUE, whom Hookes took for his pa- tron, was the eldest son of Lord Montague, of Boughton, and of Anne, only daughter of Sir Ralph Winwood, and brother of Ralph Montague, who has been mentioned in the notice on T. Adams (Election 1651). He is the same person to whom Fuller dedicates the eleventh Book of his Church History, in which dedication he tells him, "You was bred in that school which hath no supe- rior in England; and successively in those two universities which have no equal in Europe." He had a great share in effect- ing the Restoration, was master of the horse to Queen Catherine, and, in 1661, was created M.A. at Oxford. He went to sea with his kinsman, the Earl of Sandwich, and was killed in an attack on the Dutch East India ships at Berghen, Aug. 5, 1665; he died unmarried.-Fasti Ox. ii. 252; Ful- ler's Church History (Brewer's Edition); Collins' Peerage (Edit. 1714), i. 137. Page 138, column 1, line 47, for "Alber- marle," read "Albemarle." Page 140, column 1, line 41.-HENEAGE FINCH, the father of these three pupils of Woodroffe, was also educated at West- minster School. He was the eldest son of Sir Heneage Finch, of Kensington, Knt., Recorder of London, and of Frances, daugh- ter of Sir Edw. Bell, of Beaupré, Norfolk; which Sir Heneage was the fourth son of Sir Moyle Finch, and the elder brother of Francis Finch (Election 1611). HENEAGE FINCH, of whom we are now treating, on his removal from Westminster School, became a gentleman commoner of Christ Church, Oxford, 1635; and after three years' residence in the university, went to the Inner Temple, "where," says Wood, "by his sedulity and good parts he became a noted proficient in the municipal laws, and was successively barrister, bencher, treasurer, and reader." He was appointed Solicitor-General, and created a Baronet of Raunston, Bucks, 1660. He represented the University of Oxford in Parliament from 1661 until 1673, but gave offence to his constituents, by not helping 4 D 570 them to get rid of the tax upon hearths; on which account the public orator con- cluded his oration, on presenting Sir Heneage for the degree of D.C.L. in 1665, with the following sarcasm:-"That the University wished they had more colleges to entertain the Parliament men, and more chambers, but by no means no more chimneys.' Sir Heneage was further promoted to be Attorney-General, 1670;-Lord Keeper, 1673; Lord Chancellor, and created Baron Finch, of Daventry, 1675, and Earl of Nottingham, 1681. He retained the seals till his death, which occurred at his house in Queen Street, Covent Garden, Dec. 18, 1682, but he was interred at Raunston. All his biographers notice his great abilities and eloquence, his veracity and integrity, his industry and knowledge of the laws. He is the Amri in the second part of Absalom and Achitophel:'- 66 Sincere was Amri, and not only knew, But Israel's sanctions into practice drew; Our laws that did a boundless ocean seem, Were coasted all, and fathom'd all by him. No rabbin speaks like him their mystic sense, So just, and with such charms of eloquence: To whom the double blessing does belong, With Moses' inspiration, Aaron's tongue." And Sir William Blackstone's more solid praise of him contains this passage:-" Sir Hen. Finch * * * was a person of the greatest abilities, and most uncor- rupted integrity; a thorough master and zealous defender of the laws and consti- tution of his country; and endued with a pervading genius that enabled him to discover and pursue the true spirit of jus- tice, notwithstanding the embarrassments raised by the narrow and technical notions which then prevailed in the Courts of Law, and the imperfect ideas of redress which had possessed the courts of equity." Bp. Burnet, too, speaks favourably of his character, and particularly mentions his worthy distribution of the church patron- age which fell to him as Chancellor. It is possible that Dr. Busby would hardly have given Lord Nottingham such unquali- fied approbation; for, in an old account- book of that worthy master, the fact that he left his sons' bills during their whole time at school unpaid for some time after they had left it, is repeated several times. That for June, 1665, is in these terms:- "Daniel Finch owes 3 years & half £110 Heneage Finch owes more than 4 years, at least Will. Finch owes five years & half 165." A facsimile of another notice on this subject is prefixed to this number of the Appendix. 120 Lord Nottingham's wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Daniel Harvey, Esq., merchant, of London, by whom he had ten sons¹:- DANIEL FINCH, the eldest, was born about 1647;-became a gentleman commoner of Christ Church, Oxford, 1662. He took no degree, but was entered at the Inner Temple. He assumed the courtesy title of Lord Finch, on his father's elevation to an earldom, 1681;-succeeded as second Earl of Nottingham, on the death of his father; and as sixth Earl of Winchilsea, on the death of his cousin, John, fifth Earl, in 1729. He was elected M.P. for Lichfield, 1679;-was appointed a Commissioner of the Admiralty in the same year;- -First Commissioner of that Board, 1680, and was sworn of the Privy Council; this office he held until May 22, 1684. He was Secretary of State from 1690 to 1694, but King Wil- liam struck his name off the list, March 12, 1695. He was restored both to his place in Council and to his office of Secretary of State by Queen Anne, 1702; but resigned that post in 1704. He was one of the Lords Justices at the accession of King George I., and President of the Council, 1714-15. He was deprived of the last-named post, and also of a pension, for pleading for mercy for the unfortunate noblemen attainted for the rebellion of 1715. He was chosen one of the governors of the Charter House, and died Sept. 9, 1729-30. Lord Notting- ham was the first trustee named by Dr. Busby. By his first wife he had only one daughter; by his second, he had twenty- nine children, but only twelve survived. One of his daughters was married to Sir Roger Mostyn (see p. 297), and another to the great Lord Mansfield (Election 1723). Some of his speeches in his first Parlia- ment were printed; and he published a 66 Defence of the Christian Faith" in a letter to Mr. Whiston, on the eternity of the First and Second Persons of the Holy Trinity, for which he received the thanks of the University of Oxford, in full convo- cation. It is related that he refused a bribe of 10,000 guineas from the East India Company 2. His eldest son, DANIEL, who succeeded his father as seventh Earl of Winchilsea, and third Earl of Nottingham, was also a Westminster Scholar. He was M.P. for the county of Rutland, 1715-30;-gentle- man of the bedchamber to the Prince;- a Lord of the Treasury, 1715-16, but shared the disgrace of his father as related above; -was sworn of the Privy Council; and 1 Ath.

He was chosen a trustee of the Busby Charities in 1722. He died, aged 81, in 1769, having earned, and succeeded in obtaining from all parties the (in that age) rare praise of having usefully and uncor- ruptedly discharged the duties of the high offices to which he had been called. He left no male issue.-Walpole's Geo. III. i. 40-1. To go back to HENEAGE, second son of the first Earl of Nottingham. He was en- tered a gentleman commoner at Christ Church, in 1664;-did not take a degree in the University, but was admitted a mem- ber of the Inner Temple, of which he be- came a barrister. In 1678, he was chosen burgess for the University of Oxford in Parliament. He published several reports of celebrated trials, and other legal tracts, and rose to great eminence in his profes- sion. He was made Solicitor-General in 1679; but was deprived of that post by King James the Second, to make room for Sir Thomas Powys, in 1686; and became one of the counsel for the seven Bishops. In 1685, he was elected M.P. for Guildford, but was again chosen for the University in 1688, and represented that constituency in the Convention Parliament, in 1690, 1695, 1701 (March), 1701 (Nov.), and 1702. He was created Baron Guernsey, 1703, and Earl of Aylesford, 1714; Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, 1714-16. He was nominated one of the original Trustees of the Busby Charities, under Dr. Busby's will. He died July 22, 1719. His third daughter, Ann, married William, Lord Dartmouth, and was grandmother to W. Bagot (Election 1750). -Ath. Ox. iv. 652-3; Noble's Continuation, iii. 37; Collins's Peerage (edit. 1714), ii. 129. Lord Aylesford's successors in the title were all educated at the school. HENEAGE, LORD GUERNSEY, who was master of the Jewel Office, which office he resigned when his father resigned the Duchy of Lancaster, Feb. 29, 1716, suc- ceeded his father as second EARL of AYLES- FORD, and also as Busby Trustee, 1719. He died June 29, 1757, and was succeeded by his only son, HENEAGE, Lord Guernsey, M.P. for Maidstone, 1741-57, afterwards third EARL of AYLESFORD. He was born Nov. 6, 1715, and died May 9, 1777. He was elected a trustee of the Busby Chari- ties, in his father's stead, and was created M.A. of University College by the Univer- sity of Oxford, 1735, and D.C.L., 1761.- Beatson's Parl. Reg.; Hist. Reg. iii. 118. Notice has been taken of three of his younger sons (see pp. 390 and 397-8). His eldest son, HENEAGE, Lord Guernsey, was born July 15, 1751;-M.P. for Maidstone, 1774; and succeeded his father as fourth EARL of AYLESFORD, 1777;-was chosen a trustee of the Busby Charities, 1783;-was created M.A. of Christ Church, by the University of Oxford, 1770, and D.C.L. 1773. He was appointed Lord Steward of his Majesty's Household, 1804, and held the office until his death, October 20, 1812, when he was succeeded by HENEAGE, fifth and present EARL of AYLESFORD, who was sent to West- minster School, and thence removed to Christ Church, Oxford, where he graduated B.A. 1807. His next brother, the HoN. JOHN FINCH, was also at the school; entered the army in 1809;-served in the Penin- sula;-was Military Secretary to VISCOUNT COMBERMERE, in India ;-is a C.B., and was promoted to the rank of Major-General in 1851.-Hart's Army Lists; Peerages. WILLIAM, the third son of the first Earl of Nottingham, was, like his brothers, of the Inner Temple. He was born April 27, 1651; died Feb. 26, 1725-6¹. In the account-book of Dr. Busby, above referred to, occurs also the following notice, apparently belonging to 1661:- "La. Maidston left 2 beds & furniture of Cr. but pa. nothing for himself or man, either entrance, boord, schoole, or attend- ance in time of sickness at Nursery." This must have been William, eldest son of Heneage, Earl of Winchilsea (son of Thomas, first Earl, who died in 1634, and grandson of Sir Moyle Finch), by the Lady Mary, daughter of the Marquis of Hertford (afterwards Duke of Somerset). He was killed in the sea-fight against the Dutch, in 1672. On Page 144, col. 1, line 9.

Diary, xiii. ii. 4 D 2 572 "Fasti Ecclesiæ Hibernice" (which had not been consulted when this part of the work was finished), it has been ascertained that the other preferments which Pomeroy held in Ireland were, the Treasurership of Cloyne, to which he was appointed on the same day (May 5) that he was installed Dean of Cork; and a prebend of Limerick, which he obtained in the same year, and resigned in 1678. We learn, from the same source, that he died in 170, and that he gave some communion plate to the cathedral at Cork. His predecessor at Cork, at Cloyne, and at Limerick, claims a notice here, as one of the sixteen bishops said to have been educated by Dr. Busby. JOHN VESEY (ancestor of two houses now ennobled in Ireland) was a native of Coleraine; and educated at Westminster School, and at Trinity College, Dublin. He became chap- lain to the House of Commons (Irish?), 1661;-Prebendary of Armagh, 1662-3;- of Cloyne, 1664 to 1668; and of Limerick, Feb. 4, 166, until 1673;- and treasurer of Cloyne, 1667-73. He was consecrated Bishop of Limerick, Jan. 12, 167, and translated to the Archbishoprick of Tuam, March 18, 1678. In 1684 he was appointed Warden of Galway; and was forced to fly with his wife and twelve children from the tyranny exercised by James the Second. He obtained some lectureship in London as a maintenance, and after the Revolution returned to his see. He died March 28, 1716, in the 79th year of his age, and was buried at Holy Mount, where he lived. He bequeathed valuable benefactions to his diocese and to the poor; and, in his life- time, endowed his cathedral with the great- est part of the communion plate which it possesses.-Cotton's Fasti Eccles.

LORD GEORGE SACK- VILLE, third son of Lionel Cranfield, first duke of Dorset, was born January 26, 1716, and, as will have been seen in No. v. of this Appendix, was, with his brothers, edu- cated at Westminster School. He rose to the rank of lieut.-general in the army, 1758, and in that year was sworn of the Privy Council; but in 1759, he was dis- missed from the army for disobedience to orders at the battle of Minden; and, in the following year, George the Second erased his name from the list of privy councillors. 573 It was restored, however, in 1765, when he was made one of the vice-treasurers of Ireland. He was Secretary of State for the Colonies, 1776-9. In 1770, he assumed the surname of GERMAINE;-was created VISCOUNT SACKVILLE, Feb. 11, 1782;-and died Aug. 26, 1785. His personal bravery was sufficiently vindicated (even according to H. Walpole) by his coolness in and be- fore the duel with Governor Johnstone, in 1770.-Walpole's George III., iv. 228–33.

Two of these three distinguished officers are known to have been at school at Westminster :- GEORGE KEPPEL, third EARL of ALBEMARLE, born 1724, succeeded his father, 1754; and died Oct. 12, 1772. He was attached to the household of the Duke of Cumberland, from the age of sixteen; was his aide-de- camp at Fontenoy and at Culloden, and dis- patched by him to London with the news of the last-named victory. He was appointed a major-general, 1759;-colonel of the 3rd Dragoon Guards and governor of Jersey, 1761;- full general, 1772;- and com- manded in chief at the Havannah, in 1762. In 1771 he was nominated a knight of the garter. Although AUGUSTUS KEPPEL was also at the school, it could have been only for a short time, for at ten years of age (says the present EARL of ALBEMARLE) he en- tered the navy;-was a midshipman at the taking of Payta;-made a post-captain, 1744;-was appointed commodore on the coast of Africa;-captured Goree, 1758; -commanded a ship in Lord Hawke's action off Belleisle, 1759;-commanded the fleet at Belleisle, 1761;-was commodore at the Havannah, 1762, and made an ad- miral in that year;- was made a Lord of the Admiralty, to please Mr. Pitt, in 1765, and kept his seat until 1766;- commanded the great fleet, in 1778;-was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty, 1782, and again in 1783, each time holding the office for only a few months. He was created a peer in 1782, and died in Oct., 1786. One of his missions was to the Dey of Algiers, who sneered at his beardless visage. He replied, "Had my master sup- posed that wisdom was measured by the length of the beard, he would have sent your Deyship a he-goat," clearly showing, that, if he had forgotten the classical lan- guage in which it was couched, he had not forgotten the sentiment of the Greek epi- gram taught at Westminster :- “ Εἰ τὸ τρέφειν πώγωνα δοκεῖς σοφίαν περι- ποιεῖν Καὶ τράγος ἐυπώγων εὔστοχος ἐστὶ Πλάτων.” -Memoirs of Lord Rockingham, &c., vol. i. 88-92; Beatson's Polit.

The two columns of names at page 568 are also omitted from the Index. Old Westminsters are generally to be distinguished by having their Christian names given in full, or with a common abbreviation; whilst persons not educated at the School are designated by their usual title, or by only the initials of their Christian names. The arrangement of the Index has occupied more time than had been anticipated, but the value of a copious Index to such a book is so apparent, that no further apology for the delay is deemed necessary.
