TO THE READEE.
TN this Volume I have continued the work of editing the College
■*- Admission Register begun by Professor John E. B. Mayor.
Professor Mayor generously placed at my disposal his tran-
script of the Register; this contained a number of brief notes by the
late Mr C. H. Cooper. He also allowed me the use of a number
of his MS. volumes of notes on members of the College. To this
source most of the references to the Gentleman's Magazine and
nearly all the references to the Cambridge Chronicle are due.
Following the example of Dr Venn in his work on the Regis-
ters of Gonville and Caius College I have searched the Act
Books, Ordination Books, and Institution Books in many Diocesan
Registries, extracting from these the ordinations of members of
the College and their institutions to benefices. The value of these
records can hardly be overstated. In most dioceses the degree
and College of those ordained is given, though the practice and
the date at which it commences varies.
The MSS. at the Public Record Office and the Cole and Davy
Collections in the British Museum have also been consulted.
Cole's collections have been quoted very freely, for his comments
and his point of view are often more illuminating than the actual
facts recorded. I have also had the use of Mr Joseph Foster's
legal and ecclesiastical collections.
PREFACE.
The Pai-ish Registers of some o4' the Churches in Cambridge,
more especially that of All Saints, in which the older part of the
College is situated, have been examined.
I have also to thank many correspondents for help. The late
Mr Justin Simpson, of Stamford ; the late Rev. J. Ingle Dredge,
Vicar of Buckland Brewer ; the late Mr C. W. Holgate, of Salis-
bury ; the Rev. Canon A. R. Maddison, of Lincoln ; Mr E. H. W.
Dunkin ; the Rev. T. W. Hutchinson ; D» A. D. H. Leadman, of
Pocklington, and Mr H. M. Wood have been most generous in
furnishing me with notes and hints.
Occasionally I have been so fortunate as to get details from
descendants of members of the College, or from correspondents
specially interested in some person or family.
The result is that in about ninety per cent, of the entries
some account of the subsequent career of the individual has been
obtained. These accounts necessarily differ in fulness, but in the
majority of cases enough has been collected to suggest to a
searclier where to look for more. Where the identification has
not been completely satisfactory to my own mind I have still
given my conjecture, with the expression of a doubt, in the
hope that someone may be able to carry the matter a step
further.
It is almost impossible in a work such as this to attain
finality. Its appearance will, I hope, lead to further identifica-
tions and to the accumulation of further facts regarding the names
contained in the Register. I shall be very grateful to any
correspondent who may feel inclined to assist me.
I have not ventured to impose on anyone the task of reading
the proofs of the Appendix. But dates and references have been
checked with the original transcripts, and I hope the mistakes will
not be found numerous.
Mr P. J. F. Gantillon has prepared the index to the Register
on the lines suggested by Professor Mayor.

PREFACE. Vll
The sections of this index deserve study. They give a con-
venient summary of the facts recorded. The county and school
indices shew the wide field from which the College drew its
members.
From the sources above indicated a number of further notes
on the names in Parts I. and II. of the published Register have
been collected. I intended at one time to have issued these in
the present volume, but found that to do so would increase its
dimensions to quite unmanageable limits. These notes are
therefore held over for. the present, perhaps to be included here-
after in a supplementary volume.

to be about 3 miles apart. Both livings were filled up again in 1748.
P. 3 no. 27. Thomas Robinson appears in the printed Graduati as LL.B. in

was filled up again in 1726. On 19 November 1725 he was instituted Vicar of

middle of the aisle is this inscription: Dy'd | Jan: 30. 1732 | Alexander Edmund-
son I Batchelor of Divinity | Fellow of St John's | College in Cambridge | and Vicar
of this Church. | (MSS. Cole, iii. 111, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5804).
P. 4 no. 29. This is probably the John Maddox who was instituted Rector of
Stretton Sugwas, co. Hereford, 12 July 1737, holding the living until 1747.
P. 4 no. 30. Honoratus Lebeg, the elder, received a licence to practise as a
physician from Dr Cartwright, Bishop of Chester, in 1686. Honoratus Lebeg, the
younger, was ordained Deacon 22 September 1723 by the Archbishop of York, and
Priest 19 September 1725 by the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry. He seems
to have been for some time curate of Wigan, for the name of ' The Reverend
Honoratus Lebeg, M. A., of Wigan in Lancashire ' appears as one of the subscribers
to a translation of Fleury's Ecclesiastical History, published in 1727. No trace of
him however appears in the parish registers. He was also a curate of Preston in
the Archdeaconry of Richmond. On 11 October 1728 he was collated to the
Vicarage of Eastham, Cheshire, by Bishop Peploe of Chester, on whom the pre-
sentation had devolved by lapse. At Eastham, Lebeg remained for thirty-eight
years, holding the Perpetual Curacy of Bromborough with his Vicarage for a
portion of that time, ceding this in 1767. But though a pluralist, he was by no
means a wealthy one; for Eastham was only worth some £40 a year, and Brom-
borough about £12. Archdeacon Travis who succeeded Lebeg at Eastham, states
that his predecessors " as far back as the remembrance of living persons can reach,
lived for the greatest part of their lives upon charity, and died insolvent." This
poverty was due to their inability to enforce the payment of their just dues. Lebeg
appears to have been involved in constant difficulties with his tithe-payers; and
being worsted in the struggle, he adopted, according to the local tradition, an
original mode of revenge. He kept no Registers. For over twenty years there is
indeed a complete blank. But at the same time a complete list of the entries
which should have been made was sent to the Bishop's Registry at Chester every
year.
Stories of Lebeg are still told at Eastham, which shew him to have been a man
APPENDIX. 301
of ready wit. On one occasion a couple waited in the church to be married till
long past the hour of twelve, whilst 'Parson Lebeg' having forgotten all about it,
was taking a stroll on the shore. On his return he was told that the angry pair
were about to leave the church, as, being afternoon, it was too late for the wed-
ding. " Too late," he exclaimed, hurriedly putting on his surplice, " not a bit of
it ; why I have not had my dinner yet, and it is never afternoon in Eaetham until
the Vicar has dined"; and he married them.
Another of these traditional stories informs us that a considerable number of
gentlemen in the neighbourhood had been created Justices of the Peace in a batch.
Some of these worthies mounted on horseback encountered Parson Lebeg trud„'ing
along near Poole Hall. "Why do you go about on foot, Mr Vicar?" cried one of
them ; " if you can't afford a horse, you might at least keep an ass." " I have
been wishing to do so," replied the Vicar, "but the fact is that all the asses in
these parts have been lately turned into Justices of the Peace, so that I am, so
far, unable to realise my wish."
During Lebeg's incumbency the Vicarage House at Eastham was erected, and
the spire of the church, which had become ruinous, was taken down and rebuilt.
On 4 April 1749, Lebeg was collated by Bishop Peploe to the Rectory of
Wallasey, Cheshire. As this did not necessitate the resignation of Eastham or
Brom borough, he held the three livings till 1766, when he ceded the last-mentioned
parishes, retaining Wallasey until his death. He was buried at Eastham 26 July
1769, but there is no trace of a monument to his memory. In his latter years
Lebeg seems to have been partly imbecile {Wiiral Notes and Queries, ii. 41-2).

the Honble Lady Mary Fenwicke, widow of tbe late Sir John Fenwicke. He was

He was a friend of Evelyn and of Sir Isaac Newton. Hinchcliffe (History of Bnr-
thomley, 189) says, "Mr Toilet had two sons, George and Cooke. George, after
completing his education at St John's College, Cambridge, disappointed his father's
expectations, went to live in the Isle of Man, where he married a Manx lady,
Elizabeth Gates, and had two sons, George and Charles." It will be observed that
it was Cook (or Cooke), and not George, who was at St John's. Cooke Toilet does
not appear in the pedigree given in Burke's Commoners, ii, 224. There are notices
of members of the family in the Dictionary of National Biography.
P. 5 no. 49. This is William Bowyer, the learned printer and publisher. Round
the record of his life has been collected more literary and biographical information
than perhaps has fallen to the lot of any other man. A sketch of his career
appeared soon after his death, in the Gentleman's Magazine for 1778, pp. 409, 449,
513. In 1778, his partner John Nichols issued an octavo pamphlet of 52 pages,
entitled Anecdotes Biographical and Literary of the late Mr William Bowyer, printer.
Of this only twenty copies were issued (Nichols' Literary Anecdotes, iii, 296), one
of which was presented to the College Library by Mr Nichols. An enlarged edition,
APPENDIX. 303
quarto, appeared in 1782 with much additional matter, and this again was issued
with further additions by Jolm Nichols between 1802 and 1815 in nine volumes
octavo. In this latter form it is usually cited as Nichols' Literary Atiecdotes. In
this astonishing monument of industry the incidents in the lives of William
Bowyer and his father, the works published by them, with the names of the
authors or friends all form the excuse for biographical notes, the whole forming
nearly a biographical history of the literary men of the eighteenth century.
William Bowyer, of St John's, was the son of William Bowyer, printer, by his
second wife Dorothy, daughter of Thomas Dawkes, also a printer. He was born
in Dogwell Court, White Friars, London, 19 December 1699. He was sent to
school at Hadley in Surrey, under the Rev. Ambrose Bonwick, B.D. (father of the
three Bonwicks, admitted to St John's, Part ii, P. 199, no. 7; and P. 204, no. 33;
Part iii, P. 12, no. 5). While he was there at school his father's printing-house was
burned 30 January 171|. Towards the losses thus caused there was a general
subscription, and the younger Bowyer never forgot those who helped his father at
that time.
Bowyer does not seem to have been very happy at College, he had to exercise
the strictest economy and his tutor's bills are said never to have exceeded twenty
pounds a year (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, iii, 14). " The commons of the sizars,"
he said, " were miserably poor." He was admitted one of the first exhibitioners
on Mr Roper's foundation 7 July 1719, holding this until 1722. A Latin letter of
thanks for this election (the value of the exhibition was £6), which it was then, and
for many years afterwards, the custom to write, will 'be found in Nichols' Literary
Anecdotes, i, 182-4. Bowyer never took a degree at Cambridge although he seems
to have been at College some five or six years. In 1767 he wrote of Cambridge:
" My father (good man !) sent me thither, to qualify me, by a new kind of experi-
ment, for a printer. But it served only in trade to expose me to more affronts,
and to give me a keener sensibility of them." Even while at College he seems to
have begun literary work, as he helped Strype in his edition of Stow's Loudon in
1720, and in 1721 he was assisting his father in correcting works for the press-.
In June 1722 he finally entered into the printing business with his father. His
former schoolmaster, Mr Bonwick, dying 20 October 1722 he carried on the school
for some months for the benefit of the family. In 1726 he published a sketch of
Baxter's ' Glossary of Roman Antiquities ' under the title View of a book, entitled,
Reliquiae Baxterianae in a letter to a friend. On 9 October 1728 he married at
St Clement Danes his mother's niece Anne, daughter of Thomas Prudom, citizen
of London; by this marriage he acquired lands in Yorkshire and Essex. They
had two sons, William, who died young, Thomas, who survived both his parents.
In 1729 Bowyer ushered into the world the life of Ambrose Bonwick (Part ii,
P. 199, no. 7), some have supposed this to have been written by Bowyer, but it was
really the work of Ambrose Bonwick the elder.
In 1729 Bowyer was appointed by Speaker Onslow to be Printer of the Votes of
the House of Commons, an office he held for fifty years. In 1731 he printed a
tract : The Traditions of the clergy not destructive of Religion. Being remarks on
Mr Bowman's Visitation Sermon; exposing that gentleman's deficiency in Latin and
Greek, in Ecclesiastical history and in true learning. By a gentleman of Cambridge.
This was an answer to a tract issued by the Rev. William Bowman, Vicar of Dews-
bury. There were several pamphlets by others and notices in the newspapers of
the time, but the controversy is now utterly forgotten.
In May 1736 he was appointed printer to the Society of Antiquaries and elected
a member of the Society 7 July 1737. In 1736 he was active in the promotion
of the ' Society for the Encouragement of Learning,' a society for the printing
of learned books, which did not last long. On 27 December 1737 he lost his father
and became sole manager of the family press. In 1741 Bowyer corrected and
issued in convenient form two school-books, originally published in Paris : Selectae
e veteri Testamento historiae and Selectae ex profanis Scriptorihits historiae. In
1742 he was editor as well as printer of Joseph Trapp's Latin lectures ou poetry,
as also editor of the seventh volume of Swift's Miscellanies. On 21 August 1747
he married Elizabeth Bill, who had been his housekeeper for some years. In 1750
he prefixed a dissertation and some notes to L. Kuster's De vero iisu rerborum
mediorum, eorumque differentia a verbis activi-t et passivis, and also a Latin preface
to Edward Leede's Veteres Poetae citati ad Patris Pliilippi Labbei de ancipitunr
Graecorum vocalium &c. He also in this year printed an edition of Bladen's trans-
k
304 APPENDIX.
lation of Caesar's Comvientaries, the notes in which signed Typogr. are by him.
In 1753 when there was an agitation against the granting of indulgences to the
Jews he published a quarto, Remarks on a Speech made in Common Council, on the
Bill for permitting persons professing the Jewish Religion to be naturalised, so far
as prophecies are supposed to be affected by it.
In 1754 he entered into a partnership with James Emonson, a relative, some
proposals were also on foot for taking another partner, but they fell through, and
even the partnership with Emonson only lasted a very short time, coming to an end
in 1757. In 1761, with the help of his new assistant J. Nichols, he reprinted, with
translation, certain Latin verses written by the scholars of Westminster School on
the Coronation of George II. In 1762 he edited the 13th and 14th octavo volumes
of Swift's works. In 1763 he brought out an edition of the Greek Testament,
with emendations by various learned writers ; this sold very rapidly.
In 1765 he had some thoughts of undertaking the management of the University
Press at Cambridge, by obtaining a lease of the exclusive privileges, but the nego-
tiations fell through. In 1766 he entered into partnership with his assistant John
Nichols. In 1767 he was appointed to print the Rolls of Parliament and the
Journals of the House of Lords ; he owed this appointment to the Earl of March-
mont. He now moved his offices from White Friars to Red Lion Passage, Fleet
Street, where he styled himself Architectus Verborum and over the door of his
office placed a bust of Cicero. About this time he sent a present of books to
Harvard College, and in 1768 received a letter of thanks from the President and
Fellows. His second wife died 14 January 1771. In 1772 he brought out an
enlarged edition of his Conjectures on the New Testament, collected from various
authors, as well in regard to words as pointing: with reasons on which both are
founded. At the end of the preface to this he gives a homely account of the
illnesses from which he was then suffering. In 1771 Mr Matthew Roper, F.R.S.,
had printed in the Philosophical Transactions an ' Inquiry into the value of the
ancient Greek and Roman money ' ; with this Mr Bowyer disagreed, and in 1772
he issued a pamphlet entitled Remarks occasioned by a late Dissertation on the
Greek and Roman Money, 4to. In this he criticised the opinions of German and
French writers; he sent a copy to the library of the French king with a dedication.
In 1773 he issued three little Tracts with this title : Select Discourses (1) Of the
correspondence of the Hebrew months with the Julian, from the Latin of Prof.
Michaelis, (2) Of the Sabbatical Years, from the same, (3) Of the Years of Jubilee,
from an anonymous writer in 3Iasson's Histoire Critique de la Republique des Lettres.
In 1774 he corrected a new edition of Schrevelius' Lexicon with the addition of a
number of words collected in the course of his own reading. His biographer
Nichols states that Bowyer was in the habit of annotating his classical books,
and in particular of noting down anything which he thought might illustrate any
passage of Scripture, especially of the Greek Testament. In 1774 was issued
The Oi'lgin of Printing, in two essays, (1) The substance of Dr Middleton's dissertation
on the Origin of Printing in England, (2) Mr Meei-man's account of the Invention of
the Art at Haarlem and its progress to Mentz, with occasional remarks and an
appendix. The original idea of this pamphlet was Bowyer's, the completion of it
Nichols' ; it was very highly praised. In 1777 he issued an edition of Bentley's
Dissertation on the Epistles of Phalaris, with notes of his own. He had had
a paralytic attack in the spring of 1776, but he continued his reading and studies
till shortly before his death on 18 Nov. 1777. By his will he left a number of
legacies to friends, one of £50 to the University of Cambridge in return for a
donation of £50 they had made to his father when the printing-office was burned.
He left legacies to the Stationers' Company to provide pensions for printers and
compositors. The terms of the latter bequests being rather curious. The will
is printed in Nichols and in the Biographia Britannica.
He was buried at Low Leyton in Essex, where there is a monument to the
memory of himself and his father. There is also a bust of him in the Stationers'
Hall, with an inscription on a brass plate of his own composing, recording his
gratitude to those who had helped his father. Portraits of him are given in the
Quarto edition of the Anecdotes and as the frontispiece to Volume ii of the Literary
Anecdotes.
In 1785 John Nichols issued Miscellaneous Tracts by the late William Bowyer,
and several of his learned friends ; collected and illustrated with additional notes,
this contains most of his scattered writings.

P. 7 no. 6. William Sanderson was ordained Priest 6 March 172f by the Bishop
of Rochester. On 18 August 1726 he was licensed curate of Lamberhurst, Kent,

Francis Sanderson, the father, was probably the person of that name who by a
commission dated 8 December 1692 was appointed Ensign to Col. Lillingstone's
Regiment of Foot in the West Indies, he was promoted Lieutenant 20 October 1693,
and by a commission dated Kensington 30 April 1695 was appointed Lieutenant to
Captain Jonathan Langley in Col. Francis Russell's Regiment of Foot in Barbados.
He was placed on half-pay in 1698 (Dalton, English Army Lists and Commission
Registers, iii, 262 ; iv. 107).
P. 8 no. 7. In a note to the Hody pedigree given in Hutchins' History of Dorset,
ii, 233 we read : " In the same church [Wimborne Minster] another John Hody, of
Middlestreet, Spettisbury, was buried in 1710 ; and Arthur and William, both of
the same place, the former in 1717, the latter in 1741 ; upon whose death without
issue, a small but elegant seat which he had built there about 1735, went to his
brother Edward Hody, of London, M.D., who sold it in 1750 to Admiral Holmes."
In the Parish Register of Spettisbury, Dorset, there is the following entry: " 1746,
March 27— Elizabeth, wife of Dr Edward Hody, buried" [ihid. iii, 528). It ap-
pears probable that this Dr Edward Hody is the member of St John's. Muuk
(Roll of the Royal College of Physicians, ii, 147) gives tlie following account of
him. Edward Hody, M.D., was descended from a Devonshire family, the Hodys
of Netheway in Brixham. He was entered as a medical student at Leyden, 9
September 1719, being then twenty-one years of age [this corresponds with the age
of Edward Hody as given in the College Register], and went through a full course
of medical study there ; but he graduated doctor of medicine at Rheims 9 October
1723. He was admitted a Fellow of the Royal Society 22 March 173§, and a Licen-
tiate of the College of Physicians 30 September 1740. Dr Hody was one of the
physicians to St George's Hospital, and died at his house in Hanover Square,
1 November 1759. He edited and revised Cases in Midwifery, by Mr Giffard,
8vo. London, 1734; and was the author of An Attempt to Reconcile all Differences
between the present Fellows and Licentiates of the Royal College of Physicians of
London, 8vo. London, 1752.

this on being instituted Rector of Hodnet, Salop, 3 November 1730, and Rector of
Thornton, co. Chester, 10 October 1730. He held both livings until his death
10 August (or 11 July) 1733 (Foster's Peerage, Lord Berwick, where the father's

P. 8 no. 9, William Banks was ordained Deacon by the Archbishop of York,
15 August 1725 and licensed to the curacy of Thornton, Yorks, with a stipend of
£30. The same prelate granted him his license to be Master of the Grammar
School at Skipton, 5 July 1727. In the chancel of the Parish Church of Skipton
there is a brass with the following inscription : Hie jacet | Gul. Banks A.M. | qui
Scholae Grammaticae | de Skipton Magister | obiit | Die Decembris 11 | Anno
Domini 1730 | Aetatis suae 31 { . He is described as M.A., but as a matter of fact

172f , and Vicar of Rogate, Sussex, 30 November 1764. He held both livings until
his deatb. On the North wall of the church of Greatham, Hants, there is a monu-
ment with the following inscription: Near this place are interred the remains of
the Eev. Richard Newlyn (sic), bachelor of civil law, and vicar of the parishes of
Rogate and Empshott. As a divine, he adorned his station with undeviating in-
tegrity and unaffected piety; in social life, with purity of manners. He happily
connected a propriety of expression with pleasing affability. His actions, the
result of a considerate mind, exactly corresponded with the justice of his senti-
ments. He died May 25, 1772, aged 74. In the adjoining grave are deposited the
remains of Beata, the wife of Richard Newlin (sic), who died the 24 of July 1771,
aged 69 (Gentleman's Magazine, 1797, i, 298 6).

capital burgess, or Common Councilman, 6 March 1688. He was churchwarden of
the parish of St Michael, 169f, Chamberlain, 169|. He was elected an Alderman
6 March 169f , when the claims of some eight capital burgesses were passed over.
This probably caused some friction as Walburge and another paid the regulation
fine and resigned their seats 31 August 1694. I have no note as to the date of his
death or burial. His father. Alderman Symon Walburge, Mayor 1645-6, was buried
at St Martin's, Stamford Baron, 24 August 1664. (His widow Margaret was also
buried there 10 March lf|§). He is stated in a monumental inscription, which
existed in that church in 1785, but is not now there, to have been descended from
an ancient Oxfordshire family, but the late Mr W. H. Turner, of Oxford, in answer
to a letter of inquiry from me failed to find any corroborative evidence of this.
Simon, son of Mr Richard Walburge and Elizabeth his wife, was baptized at
All Saints', Stamford, 20 October 1699. He entered Rugby School in 1713, being

Elizabeth Lucas of that parish (Mr Justin Simpson). John Walburge, gent., of
St Dunstan-in-the-East, bachelor, 23, and Elizabeth Tovey (? Toney) of All Hallows,

his Christian name as 'Carolus' (Foster, Alumni Oxonienses).
Thomas Heame in his Remarks and Collections, ii, 22, 120, 121 (Oxford Historical

"23 June 1707. Mr Covert a Commoner of Hart Hall having been denied his
Degree of Bach. 3 times, this day the i-eason was given to the Congregation, viz. That
he had asserted that King Charles 1st was laiofully beheaded, which was attested
before a Publick Notary by Mr Luffingham and Mr Deering of y* same House.
Some Exceptions were mad« to y^ Evidence by Dr Bouchier, and something else
propos'd for mollifying the Matter; but Mr Stevens of All-Souls standing up and
making a handsome speech showing j' he had asserted the same Doctrine several
times, that he was a loose person &c. The reason was approv'd as sufficient by
far y« greatest part of the Members of Congregation.
" 10 July 1708. Mr Covert of Hart Hall, who was deny'd his Degree of Bach, of
Arts last year for a great Crime, stood again this Act for y" same Degree, and having
been deny'd three times, the reasons wer given vnto y' Vice-Chanc. and wer
yesterday read in Congregation, and are viz. 1. That he had not done Juraments.
2. That he had not been resident ever since his Denyal in y'= University. 3, That
APPENDIX- 311
he said if he had reak'd [raked] and whor'd as others in y' University do he should

being in Sussex. He held both until his death in 1759. He took the LL.B, degree
at Cambridge, from St John's, in 1718.
There appears to have been some difficulty, probably owing to his political
views, with regard to his ecclesiastical preferment. He was instituted Vicar of
North Mundham no less than nine times, viz. 28 May 1709, 13 June 1711, 23 July
1712 (his name being then given as Randulph), 15 July 1713, 17 August 1714, 16

instituted Rector of Kirkby Nidderdale, Yorks, 18 January 17|^, and Vicar of
Preston with Hedon, Yorks, 20 November 1744. On 5 November 1744, when he is

the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold these two livings valued at £150 and £50
respectively and stated to be 25 miles apart. He held both until his death in
1755.
It will be observed that there was an earlier Thomas Jackson, P. 4 no. 38, who,
being a Yorkshireman, might be supposed to be the man likely to be beneficed in
Yorkshire; he took the B.A. in 1719 but did not proceed to the M.A. degree.

Hebr. Cole (MSS. Cole vii, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5808, fol. 43) has a list " of

also one of the Conservators of the River Cam. He was a very facetious and
cheerful companion, but one whose word was not entirely to be relied upon ; and
had a turn for poetry, especially the satirical, where he spared not his nearest
relations, nay not even himself. He left no children, but his two brothers John,
beneficed in Wiltshire at Gillingham and Prebendary of Sarum (P. 41 no. 82), and
Andrew, Rector of Abington by Shingey in Cambridgeshire and Norton in Suffolk,
have both of them issue, whom he made his heirs and not his brothers. And Miss
Western of Abington Magna and Mr Greaves of Fulbourne his executors and
trustees for them. He died of a mortification in his foot, March 1753." Cole
gives a pedigree of the Perne family, copied from a MS. Visitation of Cambridge-
shire in Caius College Library, MSS. Cole xi, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5812, fol.
116 b. This includes John Perne the father of Chester, but does not come lower.
Cole also (MSS. Cole xxi, Addl. MSS. 5822, fol. 216 a) gives the following extract
from the Parish Register of Little Abington : " 1742, Elizabeth, the wife of Chester
Pern, Esq. was buried Sept. 13." Chester Perne was Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and
Huntingdonshire 24 December 1740 to 31 December 1741.

legally born in lawfull wedlock.
And he shall ever pray &c.

Francis FitzEdwards was ordained Deacon 16 March 172|^ by the Bishop of
Peterborough and Priest 22 September 1728 by the Bishop of London, when he was
licensed to the curacy of Finchley, Middlesex. He was instituted Rector of Bishops
Cleeve with Stoke Orchard, co. Gloucester, 9 April 1737, and held the living until
1753 or 1754.
P. 11 no. 48. Eobert Smith or Smyth was B.A. 1720, M.A. 1724. He was
ordained Deacon 23 September 1722 by the Bishop of Peterborough, his title being
that of domestic chaplain to Sir John Leveson Gower, bart. He was instituted
Eector of Woodstone, Hunts, 5 May 1730 and held the living until his death. It
was his regular custom to bathe almost every morning in the river near Peter-
borough bridge ; and in the pursuit of this practice he lost his life 15 September
1761. He came out of the water apparently well, but died a few minutes after-
wards, in the shop of a friend at Peterborough ; and was buried in Woodstone
churchyard with this epitaph: "In memory of the Eev. Robert Smyth | thirty-
three years rector of this parish, | a sincere honest man and a good christian. | His
utmost endeavours were, | to benefit mankind, and relieve the poor, | He was a
laborious and correct Antiquary; | he died the 15th of September 1761, aged 62
years."
Robert Smyth was admitted a member of the Gentleman's Society at Spalding,
12 March 1726. He made great manuscript collections. He had prepared large
collections for the history of sheriffs throughout England, to which Maurice
Johnson, the founder of the Spalding Society, prefixed an introduction, on the
dignity, use and authority of these officers. This is supposed to have been de-
stroyed, with many other of his papers, by an illiterate brother. He had also
made collections for Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire and other counties.
He does not seem to have printed anything. (For a list of these collections see
Nichols' Literary Anecdotes, v, 48, 49; and for further details regarding them,
Fenland Notes and Queries, ii, 67, 68, 108.) Cole in his notes on Edmund Carter
and his History of the University of Cambridge writes as follows (MSS. Cole, Brit.
Mus. Addl. MSS. 5886) : " he was greatly assisted by Mr Robert Smyth, Rector of
Woodstone, near Peterborough, who furnished him very plentifully ^vith other
materials, had the poor man known how to put them together. ... Mr Robert Smyth
had been of St John's College, was an indefatigable antiquary, had made collections
for an history of the Sheriffs throughout England, and though I had no personal
acquaintance with him, had corresponded with him several times. But because
I had not answered one of his long letters soon enough, he was affronted, and
spoke ill of me to Dr Naylor, of Cherry Orton, his neighbour, who told me of
it, BO our correspondence dropt. I was told he was of a waspish, choleric dis-
position. In one of his letters to Mr Carter, he tells him that he was formerly
of St John's College, under the tuition of the present Master, Dr Newcome.
Carter sent the whole budget of his correspondence with Mr Smyth to Mr Masters,
of Bene't College (who might also possibly be one of his assistants) to peruse, at
whose chambers I saw them. In one of the said letters of Mr Smyth, dated Dec.
11, 1750 talking of his own lists of Sheriffs, he writes thus: ' Mr Cole, who I hear,
assists you, may do a good deal more on this head.' But this was an utter mistake
for on Mr Carter's first and only application to me to further him in his design,
I gave him a peremptory refusal and was the only time I ever spoke to him, that
I know of, in my life, not chusing to be any ways concerned in a work which I was
well assured could do no credit to the subject it treated of or to the persons who
should contribute to the ushering it into the world."
P. 11 no. 49. John Radcliff, the father, was admitted to this College 2 January
168| Cl'art ii, P. 112 no. 8). He was a Minor Canon of Westminster Abbey (Chester,
Westminster Abbey Registers, 287).

of Riugsfield with Little Redisham, Suffolk, 2 July 1737 and held the living until
1755. One William Ratcliff was instituted Rector of Dinnington, Yorks, 17
September 1728, the living was filled up again in 1738.
P. 11 no. 60. John Robinson did not graduate. He was ordained Deacon 5 March
172^ and Priest 22 September 172.S by the Archbishop of York. On each occasion
he is described as Alumnus of St John's College, Cambridge. >
P. 11 no. 61. A pedigree of the Chester family will be found in Berry's Pedigrees
of Hertfordshire Families, 82, and in Cussans' History of Hertfordshire, Hundred of
Broadwater 7. The latter includes Edward Chester, the former does not. Edward
Chester seems to have possessed several estates in the county, some of which he sold.
His wife Margaret died 21 March 173|^ aged 36, and was buried at Royston.
P. 11 no. 53. Richard Daniel was admitted to Colchester School 27 March 1707.
His father is there described as an ajjothecary (pharmocopola). He took the degree
of M.B. in 1723. He practised for many years as a physician in Colchester and
died in 1772 aged 72. He is buried in St Martin's Church, Colchester, where there
is a monument to his memory. He married Mary Blatch {Gentleman's Magazine,
1772, May, p. 246 ; Round, Register of the Scholars admitted to Colchester School, 78).
P. 11 no. 54. See the admission of Thomas Gibbon, the father. Part ii, P. 100,
no. 15.
Williams Gibbon was ordained Deacon 31 May 1724 by the Bishop of Norwich
and licensed curate to Dr Rowland Simpson, Rector of Gaywood, he was ordained
Priest by the Bishop of London 19 December 1725. He was instituted Rector of
Dufton, CO. Westmorland, 11 November 1730, ceding this on his institution to the
Vicarage of St Dunstan's in the West, City of London, 3 November 1736, holding
this until his death 22 January' 17of. He was buried in the east vault in the
Church of St Dunstan's. He was also Preacher of Bridewell (Hennessey, Novum
Repertorium, 138 ; I believe the name there given for the Rector of St Dunstan's,
viz. William Gibson, to be a mistake).
P. 11 no. 55. David Standish, the elder, was of Emmanuel College (B.A. 1686,
M.A. 1690). He was instituted Rector of Woodstone, Hunts, 12 October 1702,
holding the living until his death in 1720 [Fenland Notes and Queries, ii, 315).
David Standish, the younger, was ordained Deacon 24 December 1721 by the
Bishop of Lincoln, at the instance of the Bishop of Peterborough. The Bishop of
Peterborough granted him his license to be Master of the free Grammar School in
Peterborough on some date between 9 July and 24 August 1722, the subscription
in the Bishop's Register not being dated. The Bishop of Peterborough ordained
him Priest 23 September 1722, he being then a Minor Canon of Peterborough,
and on 20 July 1723 licensed him to the Chapel of Eye, Northamptonshire. A
writer in Fenland Notes and Queries assumes that the Schoolmaster and Minor
Canon was the elder David Standish, but the dates of the entries in the Bishop's
Register shew this to be impossible.
In the church of Elton, Northamptonshire, were two monuments (now con-
cealed) with the following inscriptions ; Here lyeth the Body | of Carolina daughter |
of the Reverend Mr David Standish, Minister | of St Paul's in South Carolina in
America she | Died October the xxi'* | 1727 | Aged 8 Months.
Here lyeth y» Body of | Elizabeth Richardson Standish | daughter of y* Re-
verend I David Standish late Rector | of St Paul's Stonoe in South | Carolina in

this and weep but not for me | Lament thy longer misery | My life was short my
grief y^ les | Blame not my hast to happyness.
It may be that the father of these children was the member of St John's (ibid.,
ii, 314).
P. 11 no. 56. William Forster, the father, was of Emmanuel College, B.A. 1686,
M.A. 1690. He was instituted 26 September 1700, to the Vicarage of St Martin's,
Stamford Baron, and instituted 14 December 1708 to the Rectory of St Clement
Danes, London, on the presentation of John Cecil, sixth Earl of Exeter. Thomas
Blount, William Forster's successor at St Clement Danes, was instituted 6 February
17^. Two of Mr Forster's letters, one dated Stamford, 12 May 1702, to the Rev.
Thomas Tanner, D.D., the other undated, to Mr John Stevens, are printed at the
end of Peck's Academia Tertia Angllcana, 1727. (Mr Justin Simpson.)

P. 12 no. 57. Martin Sharp was instituted Vicar of Great Thurlow 7 April
1715 and Rector of Barnardiston 7 May 1733, both in Suffolk. He held both

Bishop of Lincoln. He was instituted Eector of Yelden 26 January 173f and
Rector of Shelton 15 March 173|, both in Bedfordshire. On 4 March 1734, when
he is described as Chaplain to Charles, Duke of Marlborough, he received a dis-
pensation to hold both livings, then stated to be of the respective values of £200
and £100, and to be about one mile apai't. He ceded Shelton on his institution
9 June 1746 to the Rectory of St John's in Bedford, with the Mastership of the
Hospital of St John annexed. He received a dispensation dated 20 February 174f
to hold this (stated to be worth £130) with Yelden. On a black marble slab in
St John's Church in Bedford is this inscription : Here rest the remains of | William
Bedford A.M. | late Rector of Yelden in this County | and Rector and Master of
this Church and Hospital ] who departed this life | May 30, 1754, in the 55th year |
of his age (MSS. Cole xxxi, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 3832, pp. 90 and 87). It will
be observed that he is described as M.A. on his tombstone, and he is so also
described in the 'Act Book' of the Archbishop of Canterbury, but he does not so
appear in the printed Graduati Cantabrigieiises, it seems probable that he was
B.A. 1721, M.A. 1725, and that the M.D. degree assigned to him belongs to William
Bedford, P. 32, no. 28. The dates favour this view.

P. 15 no. 34. Samuel Prime, second son of Thomas Prime, late of Bury St Ed-
mund's, Suffolk, grocer, deceased, was admitted a student of the Middle Temple
20 January 17^f, and was called to the Bar 27 November 1724. He* became
Serjeant-at-Law 4 June 1736 and King's Serjeant in 1745. On the 8th November
1745 the Judges and Bar presented an address to the King on the suppression of
the Rebellion of that year, Serjeant Prime was one of two who obtained the honour
of knighthood on November 23. Sir Samuel Prime married 23 August 1748
Hannah, daughter of E. Wilmot, Esquire, of Banstead, Surrey, and widow of John
Sheppard of Ash Hall, Suffolk. He died 24 February 1777, aged 76. He had for
some time previously ceased to practise. When Sir Samuel Prime retired from the
Bar, Lord Thurlow used to say, "I drove Serjeant Prime from the Bar without
intending it. I happened to be walking up and down Westminster Hall with him,
while Dr Florence Hensey was on his trial in the King's Bench for High Treason.
Sergeant Prime was at that time the King's Prime (or first) Serjeant. As usual he
had precedence over all lawyers in the King's service. But the Ministers of that
day, wishing to pay court to Sir Fletcher Norton, though he had at that time no
other rank than King's Counsel, entrusted the trial to him. I happened to make
this remark to Serjeant Prime: 'It is a little singular. Sir, that I should be
walking up and down Westminster Hall with the King's Prime Serjeant while
a trial at Bar for high treason is going on in that Court.' The expression struck
him ; he felt the affront put on him ; he went the next morning, resigned his office,
and retired from the profession."
Although the Gentleman's Magazine, 1777, p. 96a, describes him as " the
Si,r Fletcher Norton of his time," he is stated to have been a dull, wearisome ad-
vocate. One specimen of his argument has been preserved. Speaking upon one
occasion he first extolled his own witnesses, and then hastened to depreciate those
of his adversary. Having called attention to his 'gentlemen of repute,' "What!"
said he, " is the enemy's battle array?
"Two butchers and a taylor.
Three hackney coachmen and a corn-cutter.
But in the rear of the column.
An Alderman of London solus."
(Woolrych, Lives of Eminent Serjeants at Law, ii, 551-561, there are many mis-
takes in this life; Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, viii, 553.)
William Cole in his collections for an Athenae Cantabrig lenses has the following
rambling statement (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5878, fol. 776, or p. 86) on Prime:
"Born at Bury, son of a Tallow-chandler, educated at St John's College, where
he had a brother also. An excellent lawyer, but very haughty and stately. He
flung up his Profession in disgust that Lord Camden was put over his head ; and
marrying the Widow Shepheard of Suffolk with a jointure of £1500 per annum, and
APPENDIX. 319
very young, being the daughter of Mr Wilmot of Banstead, an heiress of £20,000,
he bought the house of the late Sir Godfrey Kneller at Whitton in Twittenham
Parish, of 8 rooms on a floor and 40 acres of land about it. Sir Godfrey and
Sir James Thornhill had painted the salon and staircase &c. in their best manner.
He was a very handsome, tall man, but so immensely proud that it was disgustful
to everyone. I remember the Recorder Pont, who was as proud, so most folks say,
that on the circuits none dare take the liberty of calling in upon him in his Chamber,
without giving previous notice. His pride however was much mortified at Bury
Assembly one evening, where the ladies were complaining of the inconvenience of
the smell and dripping of tallow candles. And made a motion to Serjeant Prime
to request of the company if an additional sixpence a piece would be agreeable in
order to have wax tapers. The Serjeant undertook the office and went round the
room, and coming to a Mrs Craske, an old, peevish maiden lady, who bore him no
good will, he acquainted her with the proposal. She said fhe had no exception to
the additional expense, as it was agreeable to the company, otherwise it was a matter
of indifference to her, for having lived next door to his father, who used to poison
them with the smell of tallow when they made their candles, the smell was become
familiar to her, and she added that she thought it must have made the same
impression upon himself. The Serjeant died at Whitten 24 February 1777, aged 76,
and was buried in the Temple Church, where his son, lately of St John's College,
but now married and has two children, means to erect a monument to him. He left
his Lady the interest of £30,000 and his son £70,000.
"Mr Walpole in his Anecdotes of Painting in England, Vol. iii, p. 123, edit. 2,
1765, at Strawsberry Hill (given to me by the Hon. Author, as was the former
edition), expressly says that Sir Godfrey Kneller, being displeased with Sir James
Thornhill, whom he had intended should paint the staircase at Whitton, employed
Laguerre, so that Dr E win's story is so far deticieut."

P. 16 no. 42. Michael Burton was baptized at Wirksworth 27 February 1700
(Glover, History of Derbyshire, ii, 289). He was ordained Deacon by the Archbishop
of York 22 September 1723, and Priest by the Bishop of Ely 18 December 1726.
He was licensed to the curacy of Little Shelford 19 December 1726. He became
a Fellow of the College under somewhat peculiar circumstances. He was a candi-
date for a Fellowship on the Beresford Foundation appropriated to Founder's kin or
to a native of Derbyshire. The contest for the Fellowship lay between Michael
Burton and Samuel Pegge (q-v.). Mr Burton had the stronger claim, being in-
dubitably related to the Founder, but upon examination was declared to be so very
deficient in literature, that his superior right, as Founder's kin, was set aside, on
account of the insufficiency of his learning, and Samuel Pegge was elected and
admitted Fellow 21 March 172f . In consequence of this disappointment Burton
was obliged to take new ground to enable hiiy to procure an establishment in the
world, and therefore artfully applied to the College for a testimonial, that he
might receive Orders and undertake some cure in the vicinity of Cambridge.
Being ordained, he turned the circumstance into a manoeuvre and took an un-
expected advantage of it, by appealing to Dr Thomas Greene, Bishop of Ely, as
Visitor of the College, representing that, as the College had by the testimonial
thought him qualified for ordination, it could not, in justice, deem him unworthy
of becoming a Fellow of the Society upon such forcible claims as Founder's kin,
and also as a native of Derbyshire. These were irresistible pleas on the part of
Burton, and the Visitor ejected Pegge, declaring his election void, and ordered
Burton to be admitted. This was done under protest and under threat of depriva-
tion, but saving the right of the Crown, by William Edmundson, President of the
College, on 6 September 1727 (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, vi, 226, 227 ; History of
St John's College, 304). The proceedings in this appeal of Burton v. Pegge with
47 foolscap pages of Beresford Pedigrees from the College of Arms and copies of
Monumental Inscriptions and other records are preserved among the Episcopal
Eecords at Ely [Ely Episcopal Records, 62).
One Michael Burton was instituted Vicar of Hathersage, co. Derby, 30 July 1728,
and held the living until 1739. This was probably the member of St John's. But
Dr Burton resided in Cambridge, for he was appointed Sacrist of the College
24 February 173|, holding this until February 174*. He was appointed Vicar of
St Clement's, Cambridge, in 1741 (Gentleman's Magazine, 1741, p. 666). He was
also appointed by the College to be parochial Chaplain of Horningsey, co. Cam-
bridge, 10 July 1741, holding this until 1754. He was appointed President of the
College 18 February 174f , holding this until 1753. During the 'same period he
was also Bakehouse Bursar. He was presented by the College 12 June 1749 to the
Bectory of Barrow, Suffolk. But, as under the will of the donor of the advowson,
the College had to present the ' Senior Divine then Fellow of the College,' Dr John
Eutherforth (q.v.) appealed to the Visitor on the ground that while Burton was
senior to him as Fellow he was junior to him in standing from the D.D. Degree
(Burton was B.A. 1721, D.D. 1749 ; Eutherforth B.A. 1729, D.D. 1745). The Bishop
of Ely took this view and decided in favour of Eutherforth. So that Burton's
presentation was cancelled. Burton was presented by the College to the Eectory
of Staplehurst, Kent, 16 January 1752 and instituted 24 February, holding the
living until his death. The Parish Register of Staplehurst contains the following
entries :
"InRei Memoriam. July 10th 1756 Michael Burton, Dr in Divinity and Eector
" of Staplehurst, was married at St Clement Danes, London, to Mrs Ann Hicks,
" Daughter of Sir Henry Hickes, Baronet, late of Chigwell in the County of
"Essex."
" March 8th, 1759. The Eev. Dr Burton, Eector of Staplehurst, was buried in
" the Chancel, south side, by the stone coffin. He died on the third day of March
" exactly at half-an-hour past six in the morning."

aged 56, and was buried in the chancel of St Nicholas' Church. There was a
portrait of him in the possession of Mr Thomas Gaul, wine-merchant in Newcastle,
who married his niece. He married Martha, daughter of Frauds Winuington of
Broadway, co. Worcester; she survived her husband and was buried in St Nicholas'
Church 22 September 1771, aged 74. Thomas Turnor published a Sermon preached
before the Sons of the Clergy in St Nicholas' Church 6 September 1731 [on James
i. 27], dedicated to the Bishop of Durham and printed at Newcastle ; also a Sermon
preached at the same church 18 December 1745, being the Public Fast, on the text
of St Matthew, ' Moreover when ye fast be not as the hypocrites' (Brand, History
of Newcastle, i, 310). Thomas Turnor, the elder, was probably the person of that
name, son and heir of Bernard Turnor of Little Court, co. Herts, deceased, who
was admitted a student of the Middle Temple 25 February 169f, and was called to
the Bar 26 May 1704.
P. 18 no. 24. This is probably the Richard Eussell who was ordained Priest
by the Bishop of Hereford 11 September 1726. He was instituted Rector of
St Devereux, co. Hereford, 19 May 1733. He apparently held the living until
1771.
P. 18 no. 27. Martin Annesley was the son of Francis Annesley, who entered
St John's on the next day (Nichols, Literary Illustratiojis, iv, 407). He was or-

and Priest 10 July 1726, all by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was instituted Vicar of
Bucklebury, Berks, 13 July 1726, holding this until 1747 ; and Rector of Frilsham
or Fridlesham in the same county 20 May 1730. On 13 May 1730, when he is
described as Chaplain to Montague, Earl of Abingdon, he received a dispensation
from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Bucklebury (valued at £120) with
Frilsham (valued at £60), the two livings being contiguous. He was collated to
the Prebend of Alton South in Salisbury Cathedral 25 April, and installed 26 May
1744. This he held with the Rectory of Frilsham until his death in 1749. He
married 12 December 1732 Mary, daughter and coheir of William Hanbury, esq.,
of Little Marcle, co. Hereford (Burke's Peerage, Viscount Valentia; Hardy's Le
Neve, ii, 671).
P. 18 no. 28. Francis Annesley of Cloghmaghericatt, co. Down, and Thorganby,
Yorks, was the father of Martin Annesley, whose entry immediately precedes his
own. He was the son of Francis Annesley (a younger son of Francis Annesley
who filled many high positions in Ireland and was created Viscount Valentia
11 March 1621 and Baron Mountnorris of Mountnorris, co. Armagh, 8 February
1628) and Deborah, daughter of Henry Jones, Bishop of Meath (Burke's Peerage,
Viscount Valentia). Francis Annesley was admitted a student of the Inner Temple
6 November 1684, was called to the Bar 2 June 1690, and became a Bencher of the
Inn 8 February 17 1|, took the M.A. degree at Cambridge in 1719. He was M.P. for
Downpatrick 1695—9, again in 1703, but in September of that year he was expelled
the Irish House of Commons for being the author of a paragraph in a Report
(printed in London) of the Commissioners appointed by Parliament to inquire
into the Irish forfeited estates (of which he was one of the trustees), which the
House resolved, scandalously and maliciously misrepresented and traduced the
protestant freeholders of Ireland, and thereby endeavoured to create a misunder-
standing between the people of England and the protestants of Ireland. He sat
again for Downpatrick 1713-14. In 1705 he was elected M.P. for Preston in
Lancashire. He stood again in 1710 but was defeated. He petitioned against the
election in December 1710, alleging undue practices against his opponent. The
petition was renewed in December 1711, but withdrawn in January 171^. He was
M.P. for Westbury 1705-15 and 1722-34. In 1710 he was the first who promoted
in the House of Commons the building of fifty new churches in London, and was
APPENDIX. 325
Chairman of the Committee, and also one of the Commissioners appointed by the
Act of Parliament for building these churches. He married (1) on 5 July 1695,
Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Joseph Martin, Knt., of London; (2) in July 1732,
Elizabeth, daughter of John Cropley of Eochester and widow of William Gomel-
don of Summerfield Hall, Kent, she died s.p. 20 May 1736 ; (3) on 31 August 1737,
Sarah, only daughter of William Sloane of Portsmouth, widow of Sir Richard
Fowler, Knt., of Harnage Grange, Salop. By his first wife he had with other
issue three sons. He died 7 August 1750 (Bean, Parliamentary Representation of
the six northern Counties of England, 398, 414; Foster, Collectanea Genealogica, i
(Members of Parliament, Ireland) 13 ; see also a letter from Thomas Browne,
Nichols, Literary Illustrations, iv, 407).
P. 18 no. 29. The father, Matthew Mason, was of St John's (admitted 7 January
167|, Part ii, P. 47 no. 10, B.A, 1677, M.A. 1681, admitted Fellow 30 March 1680).
Maidwell (or Maydwell) Mason seems to have migrated to Sidney Sussex College,
from which College he graduated as B.A. 1722. Thomas Mason, alias Castlin,
was instituted to Ashwell E«ctory, Rutland, 23 February 164f on the presentation
of Sir Guy Palmes, Knt. He was twice imprisoned at Nottingham, commanded
an independent company at Belvoir Castle, and conducted King Charles I. from
Newark to Banbury. For this he was deprived of his Living by the parliamentary
authorities in 1645 or early in 1646. He was plaintiff and Sir Charles Clapham,
Knt., defendant in an action in the Court of Exchequer respecting a payment of
81. per annum for tithe. Three depositions were taken by commission, namely
at the Crown Inn, Oaldiam, 1 October, 18 Car. II. (1666), before Edward Falkner,
esq., William Roberts and Richard Goodman, gents. At Stamford, 11 January
166|, before Edward Falkner, esq., William Mapletoft and Richard Goodman, gents.
And again before the same Commissioners at Stamford, 11 January 166f .

he was elected Fellow of Sidney in 1724 and took the M.A. degree from that College
in 1726. He was Dean of Sidney (see the certificate, P. 71 no. 4). He was or-

his fellowship was filled up again 28 March 1732. He was instituted Rector of
Forncett St Mary with St Peter 23 December 1730 and held the living until his

P. 19 no. 38. Nathaniel Wainhouse, the father, was of Emmanuel College,
B.A. 1688, M.A. 1692. He was Vicar of Silkstone, Yorks, and Prebendary of
Fridaythorpe in York Cathedral.

The Gentleman's Magazine for 1813, p. 668 b, announces the death at Leeds of
Mr Richard Wainhouse, son of the late Mr Wainhouse, Vicar of Keevil.
P. 19 no. 40. This is probably the Samuel Jones who was ordained Deacon
9 August 1724 and Priest 11 September 1726 by the Bishop of Hereford. He was
APPENDIX. 327
instituted Rector of Frodesley, Salop, 13 August 1741, and Vicar of St Alkmund's,
Shrewsbury, 14 February 1758. His successor at Frodesley was instituted in 1760,
but he held St Alkmund's until his death 2 February 1763 (Owen and Blakeway,
History of Shrewsbury, ii, 282, where he is described as of Llandysil).
P. 19 no. 41. Thomas Battersby was ordained Priest 5 June 1726 by the Bishop
of Lincoln, and licensed next day to the curacy of Gedney, co. Lincoln.
P. 19 no. 42. Lewis Crusius took the degree of M.A. per literas Begins in

on his institution to the Vicarage of Bedwardine St John, co. Worcester, 28 May

aged 76" (Historical Account of the Charterhouse, 276; Dictionary of National
Biography). He was the author of The Lives of the Boman Poets; containing a
critical and historical account of them and their writings : with large Quotations of
their most celebrated passages as far as was necessary to compare and illustrate their
several excellencies, as well as to discover in what they were deficient. To which is
added a chronological table; together with an introduction concerning the origin and
progress of poetry, etc., 2 vols., London, 1733, 12mo. This was translated into
German with the title: Lebensbeschreibung der romischen Dichter...aus dem
Englischen mit Anmerkungen von C. H. Schmid. 2 Bde. Halle, 1777, 8vo.
Dr Herring, Archbishop of Canterbury, conferred the degree of D.D. on Lewis
Crusius 7 May 1754.
P. 19 no. 43. John Emerson was ordained Deacon 22 December 1723 and Priest
23 May 1725 by the Bishop of London. He is probably the John Emerson who
was instituted Rector of Wixoe, Suffolk, 2 January 172| and Rector of Little
Hallingbury, Essex, 6 April 1734 ; both livings were vacant in 1766. Another
John Emmerson or Emerson was instituted Rector of Middleton in Teasdale
12 January 17|§, Rector of Staynton le Street 3 October 1749, and Rector of
Winston 1 April 1754, all co. Durham; he ceded Staynton on his institution to
Winston, but held the other two livings until 1774. But the fact that John
Emerson, of St John's, was ordained in London makes it probable that he held
the southern livings.
P. 19 no. 44. Nathaniel Leftwiche, son of Thomas Leftwiche of the City of
Chester, clerk, matriculated at Oxford from Brasenose College 20 March 170f,
aged 19. He took the B.A. degree from New College 1 February 171^, he in-
corporated at Cambridge in 1719 and took the M.A. degree from St John's in 1719
(Foster, Alumni Oxonienses).
P. 20 no. 45. David Havard, son of Thomas Havard of Llanybyther, co.
Carmarthen, matriculated at Oxford from Jesus College 7 July 1694, aged 18. He
took the B.A. degree at Oxford in 1698 and the M.A. at Cambridge from St John's
in 1719. He was instituted Rector of Llanvihangel-juxta-Usk, co. Monmouth,
27 February Ifg^, this he held till 1709. He was appointed Cursal Canon in
St David's 3 September 1709. He was instituted Vicar of Abergwilly, co. Car-
marthen, 28 September 1709, holding this until 1757. He was instituted Rector of
Llanedy, co. Carnarvon, 24 June 1721, holding it until 1752. He was collated
to the Prebend of Llansanfraid in the Collegiate Church of Brecon (St David's)
7 July 1733, and this he also held until 1757 (Foster, Alumni Oxonienses).
P. 20 no. 46. John Morgan was admitted a Fellow of the College 16 March
172|, he became a Senior Fellow 29 December 1743 but ceded his Seniority in
November 1749, his Fellowship was filled up again in 1751. He was admitted a
Medical Fellow 22 December 1727, which would allow him to retain his Fellowship
without taking orders. He was however ordained and took the B.D. degree in
1734. Cole says of him (MSS. Cole xxi, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5822, fol. 1096):
" Mr Morgan, B.D., Rector of MedboOrne in Leicestershire, from St John's, formerly
chaplain to Minorca, by purchase, which he parted with in 1772 or 1773. Beneficed
in one of the Welsh Cathedrals, Commissary to the Bishop of Chester, formerly
Fellow of the same College, I was well acquainted with when, many years ago, I
328 APPENDIX.
was at Lisbon for my health, where he was chaplain to the English Factory there
established, he is now dignified by the Bishop of St Asaph in his Diocese, though
he lives in London." John Morgan was presented by the College to the Rectory
of Medbourne with Holt, co. Leicester, 30 September 174:8 and instituted 26 October
following. He was presented by Thomas Herring, Archbishop of Canterbury, to
his Grace's option of the office of Precentor or Chanter with the Prebend of
Llanbedr Pont Steven annexed in St David's Cathedral 12 April 1753, and in-
stalled 2 May following (Hardy's Le Neve, i, 317). He was collated to the Prebend
of Myvod in St Asaph Cathedral 7 July 1749 (ibid., 92). On 1 October 1753 he
was admitted by the Bishop of Chester to the office of Commissary or Official of
the Archdeaconry of Richmond, Yorks, and of Rural Dean in the Deaneries of
Richmond, Borough Bridge and Amounderness, Kirkby Kendal, Kirkby Lonsdale,
Furness, Copeland and Catterick within the said Archdeaconry. It will be observed
that Cole says that Morgan lived in London. He was buried at Trottescliffe in
Kent, the Parish Register containing the following entry: "1773 September 20th
John Morgan, B.D., rector of Medburn, commissary of Richmond, and precentor
of St Davids, aged 73." A memorial tablet at Trottescliffe states that he was
buried in the same grave with his sister Mary Phillips and Francis Lloyd, Rector
of Trottescliffe (Fielding, Mernoirs of Mailing and its Valley, 157). The career of
this John Morgan has sometimes been confused with that of a John Morgan, M.A.,
who was collated Chancellor of St David's 18 August 1753, and died 24 April 1776
(Hardy's Le Neve, i, 320).
P. 20 no. 47. The Hunt, or Le Hunt, family were seated at Lyndon and
Barrowden, co. Rutland. The branch settled at the latter place entered their
pedigree in the Rutland Visitation of 1680-1, but I am unable to tack John Le
Hunt on to either branch. The same remark applies to Ann Le Hunt of the
parish of St Andrew, Holborn, London, widow, whose will dated 6 February 1752
(N.S.) was proved in P. C. C. (Glazier, 247) 27 September 1756. (Mr Justin Simp-
son). Alexander Le Hunt was admitted Fellow 16 March 172|, and his Fellowship
was again filled in March 1735. He was ordained Deacon 1 May 1724, and licensed
to the curacy of Horningsey, co. Cambridge, he was ordained Priest 19 September
1725, all by the Bishop of Lincoln. His name appears as a subscriber to Spencer's
De legibus Hebr. 1727. He was instituted Vicar of Dorney, Bucks, 24 May 1727 ;
George Grosmith, his successor, was instituted 2 October 1735.
P. 20 no. 48. Edward Lewis was ordained Deacon 10 March 172| by the Bishop
of Peterborough with letters dimissory from the Bishop of Salisbury, and Priest
19 September 1725 by the Bishop of Oxford. He was instituted Rector of Em-
mington 23 September 1725, and Rector of Waterstock 18 July 1726, both in
Oxfordshire. On 9 July 1726, when he is described as Chaplain to Earl Cadogan,
he received a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold both livings,
then stated to be of the respective values of £90 and £70. Both livings were
vacant in 1786.
P. 20 no. 49. John Bunning was ordained Deacon 21 December 1723 and
licensed to the curacy of Burley-on-the-Hill, he was ordained Priest 20 May 1733
and licensed to the curacy of South Luffenham, all by the Bishop of Peterborough.
P. 20 no. 61. Edward, son of Edward Snagge, esq. and Mary his wife, was
baptized at Fen Ditton 19 August 1702. He died without issue and was buried
at Chesterton, co. Cambridge, 5 April 1739 (Ely Episcopal Records, 299).
P. 20 no. 52. Sir Sewster Peyton was Master of the Buckhounds to Queen
Anne. He married 17 July 1701, in Westminster Abbey, Anne, second daughter
of George Dashwood, Alderman of London (Chester, Westminster Abbey Registers,
37). He died 28 December 1717 and was buried at Doddington. Thus Thomas
Peyton was really a baronet when he entered the College. The Parish Register
of All Saints, Cambridge, has this entry: 1732, Sir Thos. Peyton, Bart., of
Emneth, and Mrs Bridget Skeffington, of Skeffington, Leicestershire, married in
St John's Chapel, January 1 (East Anglian, ii. 111). Lady Peyton was a d&ughter of
Thomas Skeffington, of Skeffington, and heir to her brother Thomas Skeffington,
esq. Sir Thomas Peyton was High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdon-
shire from 16 December 1742 until 5 January 1744; he is then described as of
Great Raveley. Sir Thomas Peyton died 29 June 1771 without issue, his estates
passing by his will to his nephew George Dashwood, who assumed by Act of
APPENDIX. 329
Parliameat the name of Peyton and was created a baronet 14 August 1776
(Burke, Extinct and Dormant Baronetage; Waters, The Chesters of Chicheley, i,
288).
P. 21 no. 2. George Barry (the father) of Weale, Essex, bachelor, 27, was on
15 December 1696 licensed to marry Elizabeth Willoughby of South Ackington,
Essex, spinster, 17, with the consent of her father Peter Willoughby, who consents,
attested by Adrian Barry of St Olave, Jewry, London, gent., the marriage to take
place at South Ackington (Foster, London Marriage Licenses). Willoughby Barry
took the degree of M.B. in 1725 and M.D. in 1728.
P. 21 no. 3. Simon Peter Glassbrooke was ordained Deacon 9 June 1723 and
licensed to the curacy of Creeton, co. Lincoln, 11 June, he was ordained Priest
22 December 1723, all by the Bishop of Lincoln.
Peter Glasbrooke, of Canterbury, gentleman, bachelor, was on 21 October 1686
licensed to matry Elizabeth Twyman of Westbere, Kent (Cowper, Canterbury Mar-
riage Licenses, fourth series, 234).
P. 21 no. 6. Peter Vidal was B.A. 1723, M.A. 1729, he took Holy Orders. His
son Kobert Studley Vidal was a Solicitor in London, he retired to Exeter and died
there 2 January 1796, his wife predeceased him dying 30 August 1766. He left a
son Robert Studley Vidal who died 21 November 1841, and charged his Cornborough
estate with a rent-charge of £40 a year in favour of the College, for the purpose of
maintaining two Exhibitioners from Exeter School {Gentleman's Magazine, 1843, i,
208-10).
P. 21 no. 6. Richard Carre graduated as Carr, B.A. 1723. He was ordained
Deacon by the Archbishop of York 22 December 1723. The Archbishop's Register
has the following entry : Sexto die mensis Julii a.d. 1728. Dominus Archiepiscopus
Eboracensis prohibuit Richardo Carr Diacono ne ullibi in Dioec. Ebor. Verbum
Dei praedicaret propterea quod (ut ipse interrogatus coram dicto Domino Archi-
episcopo confessus est) pendente visitatione Metropolica Archidiaconatus de East
Riding dictus Richardus Carr monitus licentiam extrahere ad peragendum officium

nulla monitionis Archiepiscopalis ratione habita, nee Literis Dimissorijs prius
exoratis curam de Pattrington reliquerit et in Dioec. Line, se transtulerit.
Ita testor Tho. Haytor, Not. Pub.
However he seems to have made his peace for on 7 August 1728 the Archbishop
licensed him to the curacy of Holme on Spalding Moor, vrith a stipend of £35.
And on 16 August 1730 ordained him Priest.
One Richard Carr was instituted Vicar of Great Hale, co. Lincoln, 9 December
1737, and held the living until 1758.
P. 21 no. 7. Bowyer Sneyd was one of the sons of Ralph Sneyd of Bishton,
CO. Stafford, by Elizabeth, daughter of John Bowyer, of Bishton. He died without
issue and was buried at Colwich near Bishton. Ralph Sneyd, the father, was of
Braseaose College, Oxford, and a student of the Middle Temple, his description as
' Surgeon ' in the College Register seems a mistake (Burke, Landed Gentry, Sneyd
of Basford Hall; letter from the Rev. G. A. Sneyd, Rector of Chastleton).

some notes relating to clergymen taken from the Parish Registers of Barking,
Essex.
The following, with regard to George Downing, who was chaplain to Ilford

P. 21 no. 10. Francis Bellinger, the father, is said to have been an under-
graduate of Brasenose College, Oxford. He was admitted a licentiate of the Royal
College of Physicians 29 March 1708. He practised for a time at Stamford, but
removed to London and died in September 1721. He was an author (Munk's Roll
of the Royal College of Physicians, ii, 20).
Mr Justin Simpson writes : " I have been unable to trace the baptism of John
Edward Bellinger in the parish register of St John's, Stamford, it is defective about
the commencement of the 18th century. The father is said to have been of Brase-
nose College, Oxford, but Mr F. Madan, in a letter to me dated 31 October 1893,
tells me that his name does not^ occur in the Admission Register of that College.
Mr Francis Bellinger paid £15 to Mr (Henry) Lambe the Senior Chamberlain and
was admitted to the freedom of Stamford 18 April 1694. He was Overseer of the
poor of the parish of St John, 1694-5, Churchwarden 1702-3. Elected a Capital

Francis Bellinger was one of the original members of the Gentlemen's Society
at Spalding (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, vi, 29, 71), and of the Gentlemen's Society
at Stamford.
The following entries are from the parish registers of St John's : " 1697, Katherine,

£100 for the augmentation of the Vicarage of Cherry Marham, on the following
conditions, viz. that Mr Chappelow shall bear all the expenses of the purchase, and
repay the money in 9 years." Oh 26 February 174f the College also voted
him £10.
P. 22 no. 12. Thomas Leake was ordained Deacon 6 March 172f by the Bishop

Yorks. On 13 June 1730 he was admitted 'Praelector' of Cottingham by the
Archbishop. He was instituted Vicar of Bishops Burton, co. York, 8 May 1730, and
was buried there 26 March 1787.

P. 22 no. 18. Arthur Hesilrige was the only son of Sir Robert Hesilrige and
Dorothy, second daughter of Banaster, third Lord Maynard. He succeeded his
father in 1721. He married Hannah Sturges (from whom Richardson drew the

P. 22 no. 19. Edmund Lawe, the father, was curate of Staveley, one of the
chapels of the parish of Cartmel, for forty-nine years (Groston's edition of Baines's
History of Lancashire, v, 638). Edmund Law, the younger, was ordained Deacon
5 June 1726 and licensed to the curacy of St Mary in Retford, he was ordained
Priest 24 September 1727, all by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was elected a Fellow of
Christ's College in 1727, vacating this in 1740. During his residence he was one of
the editors of Roherti Stephani Thesaurus Linguae Latinae, 4 vols., folio, 1735
(another of the editors being John Taylor, P. 27 no. 29), In 1737 he was presented
by the University to the Rectory of Greystock, co. Cumberland, the patron being
a Roman Catholic, the title was however disputed and he was not instituted till
1 June 1739, when he left Cambridge. He married 24 June 1740 at Dearham, co.
Cumberland, Mary, daughter of John Christian of Milntown, Isle of Man, and of
Unerigg, co. Cumberland. (She was born at Dearham 19 March 172|, and died at
Cambridge 1 March 1762, being buried in the Church of St Mary-the-Less). He
was collated Archdeacon of Carlisle, with the Rectory of Salkeld annexed, 21 April
1743. He was again instituted Rector of Greystock 19 December 1746, in which
year he left Greystock to reside at Salkeld, a village on the banks of the Eden. In
1756 he succeeded Dr Keene, Bishop of Chester, as Master of Peterhouse, Cambridge,
resigning his archdeaconry in favour of the Rev. Venn Eyre, a brother-in-law of
Dr Keene. He now returned to Cambridge. In 1760 he was appointed proto-
bibliothecarius, an honorary office, originally created for Conyers Middleton. This,
as it provided an easy and quick access to books, was agreeable to his tastes and
habits. In 1764 he was appointed Knightbridge Professor of Casuistry in the
University. His former pupil at Christ's, Dr Cornwallis, then Bishop of Lichfield,
collated him to the Archdeaconry of Stafford and to the prebend of Sandiacre in
Lichfield Cathedral 3 February 1763. His old acquaintance, Dr Green, Bishop of
Lincoln, collated him to the prebend of Empingham in Lincoln Cathedral 21 May
1764. And through the influence of Thomas Holies, Duke of Newcastle, he obtained
the 12th prebend in Durham Cathedral, to which he was collated 12 August 1767.
He was recommended by the Duke of Grafton to the Kmg for the Bishopric of
Carlisle; to this he was elected 6 February, confirmed 22 February in St James's
Church, Westminster, and consecrated 24 February 1769 in Whitehall Chapel by
the Archbishop of York, the Bishops of Durham, Chester and Norwich assisting.
He then resigned his Professorship, Archdeaconry and prebends (Hardy's Le Neve, i,
573, 625 ; ii, 149; iii, 245, 320). On 10 February 1769 he received a royal warrant
and a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold the prebend of
Empingham and the Rectory of Greystock in commendam with his Bishopric, but
did not avail himself of this as regards the prebend. But he remained Master of
Peterhouse and Rector of Greystock, as well as Bishop of Carlisle, until his death at
Rose Castle 14 August 1787.
An account of Bishop Law's life was written by William Paley for Hutchinson's
History of Cumberland; this has been many times reprinted. It concludes as
follows : " The life of Dr Law was a life of incessant reading and thought, almost
entirely directed to metaphysical and religious inquiries ; but the tenet by which his
name and writings are principally distinguished is, ' that Jesus Christ, at His
second coming, will by an act of His power, restore to life and consciousness the
22—2
332 APPENDIX.
dead of the human species; who, by their own nature, and without this inter-
position, would remain in the state of insensibility, to which the death brought
upon mankind by the sin of Adam had reduced them.' He interpreted literally that
saying of St Paul, 1 Cor. xv. 21, 'As by man came death, by man came also the
resurrection of the dead.' This opinion had no other effect upon his own mind
than to increase his reverence for Christianity and its Divine Founder. He retained
it, as he did his other speculative opinions, without laying, as many are wont to do,
an extravagant stress upon their importance, and without pretending to more
certainty than the subject allowed of. No man formed his own conclusions with
more freedom, or treated those of others with greater candour and equity. He
never quarrelled with any person for differing from him, or considered that
difference as a sufficient reason for questioning any man's sincerity, or judging
meanly of his understanding. He was zealously attached to religious liberty,
because he thought that it leads to truth ; yet from his heart he loved peace. But
he did not perceive any repugnancy in these two things. There was nothing in his
elevation to his bishoprick w^hich he spoke of with more pleasure, than its being
a proof that decent freedom of inquiry was not discouraged. He was a man of
great softness of manners, and of the mildest and most tranquil disposition. His
voice was never raised above its ordinary pitch. His countenance seemed never to
have been ruffled ; it preserved the same kind and composed aspect, truly indicating
the calmness and benignity of his temper. He had an utter dislike of large and
mixed companies. Next to his books, his chief satisfaction was in the serious
conversation of a literary companion, or in the company of a few friends. In this
sort of society he would open his mind with great unreservedness, and with a
peculiar turn and sprightliness of expression. His person was low, but well formed;
his complexion fair and delicate. Except occasional interruptions by the gout, he
had for the greatest part of his life enjoyed good health ; and when not confined
with that distemper, was full of motion and activity. About nine years before his
death, he was greatly enfeebled by a severe attack of gout in his stomach ; and
a short time after that lost the use of one of his legs. Notwithstanding his fondness
for exercise, he resigned himself to this change, not only without complaint, but
without any sensible diminution of his cheerfulness and good humour. His fault
(for we are not writing a panegj'ric) was the general fault of retired and studious
characters, too great a degree of inaction and facility in his pubUc station. The
modesty, or rather bashfulness of his nature, together with an extreme unwilling-
ness to give pain, rendered him sometimes less firm and efficient in the administra-
tion of authority than was requisite. But it is the condition of human mortality.
There is an opposition between some virtues which seldom permits them to subsist
together in perfection. The Bishop was interred with due solemnity in his cathedral
church, in which a handsome monument is erected to his memory, bearing the
following inscription: Columnae hujus sepultus est ad pedem | Edmundus Law,
S.T.P. I per XIX fere annos hujusce ecclesiae Episcopus. | In evangelica veritate
exquirenda, | et vindicanda, | ad extremam usque senectutem | operam navavit
indefessam. | Quo autem studio et affectu veritatem, | eodem et libertatem Christia-
nam coluit; | Rehgionem simplicem et incorruptam, \ nisi salva libertate | stare non
posse arbitratus. | Obiit Aug. xiv. mdcclxxxvii. | ^tat. lxxxiv" (Nichols, Literary
Anecdotes, ii, 68-9).
It may fairly be said of Law that few Cambridge men of his time deserved so
well of the University. He took part in perhaps the most extensive classical work
which Cambridge has produced, the edition of Steph. Tlies.; he did much to revive
moral and theological studies here, when they were sinking into their long sleep,
and his work was continued by his son John and that son's colleague, Paley; he
promoted the establishment of examinations, and was rewarded by the brilliant
success of his sons. He obtained a doctor's degree by a real discussion of a contro-
verted point. When a Bishop he did not, like Pretyman-Tomline and so many
others, abandon the principles of religious liberty which he professed in his youth;
and when head of a College he still found leisure to study and also to teach, both
by word of mouth and through the press (Mayor, History of St John's College, ii,
716; an immense number of interesting notes on Law's career and views will be
found in the life of Law, ibid. 714-25).
Dr Law published the following: (i) Essay on the origin of evil. Translated
from the Latin [of Archbishop William King]. With two Sermons, one on Divine
prescience, the other on the Fall of Man, 1729. This was many times reprinted;

the editions vary; (ii) An enquiry into the ideas of space, time, immensity and
eternity; as also the self -existence, necessary existence, and unity of the Divine
nature; in answer to a book lately published by Mr Jackson, entitled. The Existence
and Unity of God proved from His Nature and Attributes. To which is added, A
dissertation upon the argument, a priwi, for proving the existence of a first cause.
Cambridge 1734, 8vo. ; (iii) Considerations on the state of the world with regard to
the theoi-y of religion, Cambridge 1745, 8vo.; this is regarded by some as Law's
most successful work; it ran through many editions ; it was reprinted by his son,
George Henry Law, Bishop of Chester, with a hfe of Law by WilUam Paley in
1820 ; (iv) Litigiousness, repugnant to the laws of Christians. A Sermon [on Matt. v.
40] preached in Carlisle at the Assizes, Cambridge 1743; (v) A defence of Mr Lockers
opinion concerning personal identity, 1769, 8vo. ; (vi) Observations occasioned by the
contest about literary property, Cambridge 1770, 8vo.; (vii) The true nature and

Sunday after the interment of the late Rev. Dr Bland, Newcastle, 1768 ; (viii) The
grounds of a particular providence, being a Sermon [on Dan. ii. 20, 21] preached
before the Lords 30 January 1771, London 1771; (ix) Considerations on the propriety
of requiring subscriptions to Articles of Faith, 1774, 8vo. ; (x) A Sermon preached

Cambridge in 1720 and took the degree of D.D. from St John's in that year (Foster,
Jlumni Oxonienses; Mr Foster has however made a mistake, attributing the Cam-
bridge degree to one William Deane of Balliol). William Deane was instituted
Rector of Thakeham, Sussex, 25 June 1688, ceding this on his institution 10
February 169| to the Rectory of Offord Darcy, Hunts. He was instituted Rector of

entered at St John's and took the M.A. degree at Cambridge in 1720, with one of
these names who graduated at Oxford from Christ Church 27 February 170|. But
this is a mistake, as in the certificate he brings with him he is stated to have taken
the B.A. degree from St Mary Hall 21 March 170|. There are then two William
Prices who might be identified with this man.
(1) William Price, son of Richard Price, of Kilmerry, co. Brecon, gentleman,
who matriculated at Oxford from Balliol College 4 May 1699, aged 15. He was
admitted a student of the Inner Temple 12 February lf^§, as son and heir of Rice
Price of Kilmerry, co. Brecon, esquire.

instituted Eector of Cranoe, Leicestershire, 18 April 1717, and Rector of Staunton
Wyville in the same county 20 April 1721. Both these livings appear to have

Eector of Kilkhampton, Cornwall, holding the living till 1749, when on 5 April 1749
one William Leaver was instituted Rector of Deane, Northamptonshire. William
Leaver was collated to the Prebend of Walton Paynshall in Lincoln Cathedral
17 November 1737. This Prebend and the Rectory of Deane were both vacant in
1755. It seems probable that these successive pieces of preferment were held by
the same man.
Charles Leaver, the father of William, may be identical with the person of that
name admitted to the College 7 June 1677 (Part ii, P. 63 no. 36).

One of these names was instituted Vicar of West Haptree, Somerset, 15 Sep-
tember 1726 on the presentation of the Prince of Wales (Weaver, Somerset In-
cumbents, 268). It is however possible that this was the Francis Smith of Wadham
College who proceeded B.A. at Oxford 19 March 172| (Foster, Alumni Oxonienses).
P. 27 no. 23. John Lister, the father, succeeded to the Shibden Hall estates.
He was born 11 May 1673 ; married Mary, daughter of William Issot of Horbury

a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Morley and Mickleover,
the value of each living being stated to be £170, and their distance apart five miles.
He held both livings until his death. He was appointed Canon of Windsor by
patent dated 24 February 174|, holding this until his death, and he was instituted
Perpetual Curate of St Bennet Fink in the City of London, on the presentation of
the Dean and Chapter of Windsor 23 September 1763. His successor as Canon of
Windsor was installed 25 January 1772 (Hardys Le Neve, iii, 409, 410; Hennessey,
Novum Repertorium, 377). He married at Morley 7 October 1746 Dorothy, daughter
of Simon Degge of Derby (Glover, History of the County of Derby, ii, 208, where

eldest son, Richard Staunton Wilmot, described as of Morley near Derby, was
admitted a student of the Middle Temple 13 November 1761, migrated to Lincoln's
Inn, where he was admitted 31 May 1766. He matriculated at Oxford, from

Bishop of Lincoln, and licensed to the curacy of Markfield, co. Leicester, next day.
He apparently afterwards became curate of Wilby, Suffolk, and was buried there
in 1750.
Josepli Henchman, his father (of Jesus College, Cambridge, B.A., 1685), was
Rector of Shelf hanger and Burston, Norfolk.
P. 27 no. 29. John Taylor was baptized in St Alkmund's Church, Shrewsbury,
22 June 1704. His father, John Taylor, had married Anne Jarvis at the same
church 21 September 1703. John Taylor the elder was admitted to his freedom as
a 'barber chirurgeon' on 3 January 169|. He again is said to have been the soh of
the Rev. John Taylor, B.A., who was nominated by the College to be Third Master
of Shrewsbury School 3 December 1659. The schoolmaster is said to have been of
Brasenose College, Oxford. An attempt is made in Nichols' Literary Anecdotes, iv,
490 to trace the family further back.
John Taylor of St John's is stated to have beea sent to Cambridge through the
influence of Edward Owen of Cundover {ibid. 491). He took the B.A. degree in
1724, M.A. 1728, and LL.D. in 1741. He incorporated M.A. at Oxford 11 March
173^ (Foster, Alumni Oxonieuses). He was admitted a Fellow of the College
29 March 1726 and was transferred to one of the two Law Fellowships 6 November
1732, this enabling him to retain his fellowship without taking Orders. He was
admitted an Advocate in Doctors' Commons 15 February 1741, and he was admitted
by the Archbishop of Canterbury as an Advocate in the Arches Court of Canterbury
8 April 1741. He held the following College offices : Steward from 24 February
173| to 10 February 174^; and Junior Bursar from 18 February 174| to 11 April
1750. He was Librarian of the University from 1731 to 1734, becoming Registrary
in the latter year, holding that office until 1751. He was appointed Chancellor of
the Diocese of Lincoln in April 1744, holding that office until his death. He was
ordained Deacon 20 September 1747 by the Bishop of Lincoln. Thus taking Orders
comparatively late in Ufe. George Ashby (P. 100 no. 19) gives the following
account of the circumstances: "The fact is, the Doctor intended to be a Civilian;
and, to enable him to keep his fellowship, without going into Orders, as all are
obliged to do at St John's, except two Physicians and two Civilians, he was
nominated to a Faculty Fellowship on the Law Line; but continuing in College to
superintend his edition of Demosthenes, he probably saw that, in order to make the
figure he could wish in that profession, he should have devoted himself to the
practice of it earlier : and the prospect of a valuable College living becoming now
near, he took Orders, and the Rectory of Lawford becoming vacant, he claimed it;
this was a new case then, and has never happened since. It was thought by many
of the Society at least hard, that a person should be excused all his time from
reading prayers, preaching, and other Ecclesiastical duties in College and the
University, which must be performed in person, or another paid for doing them ;
and then, when the reward of all this long service seems within reach, that another,
who has not borne any part of the heat and burthen of the day, should step in
before you, and carry off the prize. The Doctor was however so lucky, as he
generally was, as to carry his point, but not without much difficulty. His friends,
indeed, who kept up the credit of the house for punning said from the first, that
the Doctor would certainly go to Law forH" (Nichols. Literary Anecdotes, iv, 499).
After his entry into Orders he was presented by the College to the Rectory of
Lawford, Essex, 2 April 1751, and instituted 12 April. He was collated by the
Bishop of Lincoln to the Archdeaconry of Buckingham 3 January and installed
23 February 1753 (Hardy's LeNeve, ii, 71). He was nominated by King George II
to the Prebend of Ealdiand in St Paul's Cathedral, vacant by the promotion of
Dr Richard Terrick to the Bishopric of Peterborough 8 July 1757 ; holding all these
preferments until his death. It is believed that these are all the preferments
Taylor held. Others have been ascribed to him, but it will be found that they
were held by other clergymen of the same name. Cole, in his collections for an
34:0 APPENDIX.
Athenae Cantabrigienses (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5882), states that: "In 1748 on
the death of Dr Whalley, he {i.e. Taylor) opposed Dr Keene in iiis view to that
Mastership" (i.e. of Peterhouse). Until his promotion to Lawford, which vacated
his fellowship, Taylor seems to have resided continuously in College, a period of
thirty years, devoting himself to study and scholarship. The following account of
him by George Ashby (whose 7wm de plume was T.F., Taylor's Friend) appears in
Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, iv, 509-14: "You have mentioned that Dr Taylor
was too busy a man to be idle. This is too shining a particular in the Doctor's
temper and abilities not to be a little more insisted upon. If you called on him in
College after dinner, you were sure to find him sitting at an old oval walnut-tree
table entirely covered with books, in which, as the common expression runs, he
seemed to be buried ; you began to make apologies for disturbing a person so well
employed ; but he immediately told you to advance, taking care to disturb as little
as you could the books on the floor; and called out, 'John, John, bring pipes and
glasses'; and then fell to procuring a small space for the bottle just to stand on,
but which could hardly ever be done without shoving off an equal quantity of the
furniture at the other end : and he instantly appeared as cheerful, good-humoured,
and degage, as if he had not been at all engaged or interrupted. Suppose now you
had staid as long as you would, and been entertained by him most agreeably, you
took your leave, and got halfway down the stairs ; but recollecting somewhat that
you had more to say to him, you go in again ; the bottle and glasses were goue, the
books had expanded themselves so as to reoccupy the whole table, and he was just
as much buried in them as when you first broke in on him. I never knew this
convenient faculty to an equal degree in any other scholar. His voice to me, who
know nothing of music, appeared remarkably pleasing and harmonious, whether he
talked or read English, Latin, or Greek prose, owing to his speaking through his
lips much advanced, which always produces softness: this practice, or habit, I
believe, he learned from a speaking master, to whom he applied to correct some
natural defect: for which purpose he always kept near him an ordinary small
swing-glass the use of which was unknown to his friends; but in preaching, which
he was fond of, one might perceive a shrillness or sharpness that was not agreeable;
perhaps he could not speak so loud as was required and at the same time keep his
lips advanced and near together, as he had learned to do for common conversation.
He understood perfectly, as a gentleman and scholar, all that belongs to making
a book handsome, as the choice of paper, types, and the disposition of text, version,
and notes. He excelled in many small accomplishments. He loved and played
well at cards ; was fond of carving, which he did with much elegance ; an agreeable
practice, but which, notwithstanding what Lord Chesterfield says, some persons
who have frequented good tables all their life cannot do, though they can blow their
nose passing well. He always appeared handsomely in full dress as a Clergyman,
was grand in his looks, yet affable, flowing and polite. Latterly he grew too plump,
with an appearance of doughy paleness, which occasioned uneasiness to those who
loved him, whose number, I think, must be considerable. He wrote a large, fair,
elegant hand, was a perfect master of Dr Byrom's short-hand, which he looked upon
as barely short of perfection, and which he taught to as many as chose to learn, for
the benefit of his friend. He never made a blot in his writing; always, besides his
Adversaria, kept a proper edition of most books for entering notes in their margin,
as the Louvre Greek Testament in folio. These were what Dr Askew was entitled
to by his will, besides his common-place books which, I think, in his open way of
writing, for he never spared paper, amounted before he left College to forty volumes
in folio ; in these he had put down a vast variety of philological learning, without
neglecting matters of pleasantry ; and I should think it must be impossible, if one that
knew his manner and short-hand had liberty to examine them, but that they must
furnish an excellent Tayloriana.... When we used to joke with him on the badness
of his furniture, which consisted of the table aforesaid, and three or four ordinary
chairs, and they always filled with books, he used to say that his room was better
and more expensively furnished than any of ours; which was certainly true, as he
sat in the midst of an excellent library, containing a very fine collection of philo-
logical, classical, and juridical books, which formed the proper furniture of a
scholar's room, though I cannot say it is the usual or fashionable furniture of the
times. This fine and large collection he increased greatly after he got to London,
as all those who knew it in Amen Corner will bear me witness. "
Of Dr Taylor, Dr Samuel Johnson said, ^^Demosthenes Taylor was the most

silent man, the merest statue of a man, that I have ever seen. I once dined in
company with him ; and all he said during the whole time was no more than
Richard. How a man should say only Richard, it is not easy to imagine. But it
was thus. Dr Douglas was talking of Dr Zachary Grey, and ascribing to him
something that was written by Dr Eichard Grey, so to correct him Taylor said
Richard!'" (Boswell's Life of Johnson, ii, 340).
Dr Taylor died 4 April i7<)6 at his residentiary house. Amen Corner, and was
buried in St Paul's nearly under the Litany Desk, where there is an inscription on
a marble slab enumerating his titles. His friend, the Rev. Edward Clarke, suggested
a very laudatory inscription (Nichols, I. c, iv, 506-7). By his will he left his
manuscript collections to Dr Askew, at whose sale they were dispersed. Many were
bought for the Libraries of Cambridge and Oxford, a few for the British Museum.
He left many of his printed books to the Library of Shrewsbury School.

He kept a school at Turret House, Chelsea. One of his prospectuses has been
preserved, it was headed by a view of the house and begins, "At the Rev. Mrllothery's
School, the Turret House, Paradise Row, Chelsea, young men are boarded and
qualified for the University or business." Mr Rothery was elected Lecturer of
Chelsea in 1735 in opposition to the Rev. William King, son of Dr King, sometime
Rector of Chelsea, and was licensed or admitted by the Bishop of London 27 June
1735. Prof. Martyn, writing to Faulkner, gives him the following character;
" Mr Rothery carried the Lectureship against my uncle, Mr King. He was a very
good scholar, and an excellent schoolmaster; but his sermons were composed in
haste, and not delivered with any peculiar grace. At the end of his life he became
insolvent and lost in drink. I preached for him in church and in Ebury Chapel,
when he could no longer do it himself" (Beaver, Memorials of Old Chelsea, 247-8).

18 April 1755. He had been licensed curate of Chelsea Chapel in the parish of
St George, Hanover Square, 31 May 1746.

In the chancel of Gaywood Church there is a monument with the following
inscription : "In Memory of | the Rev. Samuel Beatniffe M.A. | who died at Lynn,
August 10, 1781 I in the 79th year of his age | having been curate and Rector of
this parish | and Bawsey 55 years. | He was benevolent and charitable; | his mind

He was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of Lincoln 21 December 1729, and Priest by
the Bishop of Ely 2 August 1730, and was instituted Rector of Newton Blossomville,
CO. Bucks., 5 August 1730. In 1733 he was curate of Whittlesford, co. Cambridge.

He was the author of the following works: (i) A sermon (on Dent. viii. 10)
preached in Charterhouse Chapel 12 December, 1737, Founder's Commemoration, 8vo.,
London 1738; (ii) Two grammatical essays: (a) On a barbarism in the English

on Mr Gibbon's Account of Christianity and its first teachers, 8vo., London 1776 ;
(v) An Epistle, in verse, from a Country Parson to a Residentiary of St Paul's, 4to.,
Chelmsford, undated ; this is a rare tract, not in the British Museum. There are
some letters of Mr Salisbury to the Duke of Newcastle (mostly applications for
livings), among the Addl. MSS. in the British Museum. In 1766 he was a
candidate for the Mastership of the Charterhouse School, and in Addl. MSS.
32,992, fol. 314, there is a letter from him to the Duke forwarding a College
testimonial in his behalf (Notes from Mr C. W. Holgate, The Palace, Salisbury;
Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, ix, 581; Hardy's Le Neve, ii, 149).
P. 30 no. 3. Humphrey Dell took the degree of M.B. in 1727. It will be seen in
what follows that he practised as a physician at Flitwick, in Bedfordshire. He was
a descendant of William Dell, the Commonwealth Master of GonvUle and Caius
College. The family held property at Westoning, Beds. Humphrey, son of William
Dell, was baptized at Westoning 6 September 1678 (Blaydes, Genealogia Bedfordienses,
314). According to Cole, Humphrey Dell of St John's was great-grandson of the
Master of Gonville and Caius College, if so, then William Dell was son of the
Master, and the Humphrey Dell referred to by Cole as speaking slightingly of his
father was another son. In the Baker MSS. (vol. x, p. 116) is a letter in which
reference is made to "old Dell, who was great-grandfather to the now Dr Dell." In
the same letter however the old man is spoken of as grandfather, probably a slip of
the pen.
Cole in his account of the Church of Maulden in Bedfordshire (MSS. Cole xxxiii,
Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5834, p. 269) has the following :
"On the north wall of the chancel below the door into the vault is fixed a small
mural monument of white marble on which is this inscription; 'Near this place are
interred the bodies of Mrs Mary Dell, daughter of William Dell of Samshill in the
parish of Westoning in this county, gent., and Mrs Anne Sicklyn, widow of Tho.
Sicklyn, late of this parish, gent., and daughter of the Rev. Mr William Partington,
Rector of Steppingley. The former died Nov. 28, 1710, in the 27 year of her age,
the latter April the 12, 1718, aged 82. These two gentlewomen notwithstanding
APPENDIX. 345
the great disparity of their age contracted such an esteem and admiration for each
other's piety and virtue and were so closely united in love and affection during their
life, that they desired they might not be separated in the grave: and this their
request was religiously observed by Humphrey Dell, brother to the one and executor
to the other, who also erected this monument to their memory.' Just above this
monument is a new door-way opened through the wall of the chancel, which was
very thick and difficult to be made, as the clerk told me, into the new columbary,
vault or dormitory, made of brick this last year by Dr Dell on the decease of his
mother, who was kept in the cellar of the house till it was finished ; it is descended
into by some steps and has a window or two to give it air and light and at one end
are nine holes, like the mouth of an oven, to receive each a separate coffin, being
three stories of three holes on each story. Dr Dell was more than ordinarily
curious in this matter, and so far dissimilar from his ancestor, the famous Mr William
Dell, the Independent Master of Gonville and Caius College, who was so little curious
where his carcase was deposited that he ordered himself to be buried in a little
spinnej', or wood, on his estate in the parish of Westoning in this county; and
I was told by my worthy good friend, Dr Zachary Grey, this day on my calling
upon him on my way to Bletchley out of Cambridgeshire, that his son Humphrey
Dell, riding or walking by the spinney with an acquaintance, reflecting too severely
as a son upon his father's base conduct and actings in the late rebellion, could not
help exclaiming in this manner, pointing to the place where his father was buried,
' There lays that old rogue and rascal my father.' This William Dell was educated
at Emmanuel College, where he was chosen Fellow and receiving in that nest of
Puritanism ill-impressions against the monarchy and hierarchy of his country, he
was, 4 May 1649, intruded into the Mastership of Gonville and Caius College, and
to his eternal infamy and disgrace, though Head of a learned Society was not
ashamed to preach publicly at St Mary's Church, before the University, a sermon
in disparagement of all human learning and University degrees Dr Dell,
his great-grandson, was educated at St John's College in Cambridge and proceeded
Doctor in Physic, and had no small practice in his neighbourhood of Flitwick
in Bedfordshire, where he lived, being esteemed a good physician and knowing his
profession. I have been in his company and he seemed to me a very civil and
well-bred man. But those who knew him better called him a very insincere, as well
as finical, man. I think he died a bachelor and left the chief of his fortune to
a person with whose wife he was supposed to be fond of. As there were few of his
profession in the neighbourhood and his skill not despised, he had an opportunity
of raising a very handsome fortune, especially as he was remarkable for being very
rapacious in regard to his fees. Mr Hatton [i.e. Bev. Christopher Hatton, rector of
Marston Mortaine and Maulden, P. 70 no. 26] shewed me one of the most bombast,
fustian, ungrammatical, and most ridiculous letters, which he had sent to Captain
Brady of Ampthill, when that gentleman about three or four years since came to
settle there, that ever I saw. However I have heard the Doctor well spoken of, and
we should not be too cautious in receiving characters of people from those who love
them not. The Doctor died of a consumptive and decaying disorder, and dining
with his friend Robert Lowndes, esq. , of Great Brickhill, formerly his patient, and
to whom he left a mourning ring, I took the inscription of it yesterday (July '60,
1765) which may serve as an epitaph for the Doctor as there is none yet erected
for him in the Church, he being the second that is buried in the Columbary ; though
the clerk told me that his father was buried very near the door into it, and that the
doctor had some thoughts of taking up his corpse, but was deterred from it by the
representation of its impracticability, it being buried too long. This is wrote on
the ring, one of which was sent to his principal patients, which shewed a grateful
turn of mind: 'Humphrey Dell, Esq., | ob: Sept: 22. 1764. aet 57'."
It will be observed that there are three Humphrey Dells mentioned : (1) the doctor,
(2) his father, who erected the monument to the two ladies, (3) son of the Master of
Gonville and Caius, who seems to have been a brother of William Dell, the grand-
father of Humphrey Dell of St John's. Dr Venn in his History of Gonville and
Caius College (Robinson's Series), p. 126, shews that the legend as to the burial of
the Master in a field is probably untrue.
P. 30 no. 4. Nicholas Fayting, who was born 22 January 1700, was admitted to
Merchant Taylors' School 7 March 171" (Robinson, Merchant Taylors' School
Register, ii, 30). He was ordained Deacon 19 December 1725 and Priest 18 December
1726 by the Bishop of London. He was successively Third (1726), Second (1730)
S. 23
346 APPENDIX.
and First (1731—1753) Under Master of Merchant Taylors' School. He was
instituted Rector of St Martin Outwich, London, 21 July 1748 ; collated 14 May
and installed 19 June 1756 to the Prebend of Ketton in Lincoln Cathedral, and
instituted Rector of Hawkeswell, Essex, 9 July 1757. On 7 July 1757, when he is
described as Chaplain to the Duchess Dowager of Devonshire, he received a dis-
pensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold his two rectories, St Martin's
being valued at £90 and Hawkeswell at £80 and their distance apart 30 miles. He
held all these pieces of preferment until his death 22 February 1789 in his 88th
year. He was a sincere friend, an elegant scholar and a sound divine (Gentleman's
Magazine, 1789, i, 278, where there is a copy of verses on Mr Fayting pronounced
by the Second Monitor of Merchant Taylors' School at the examination day on
March 26). In the European Magazine for 1792 (March, p. 167) will be found
a letter of Nicholas Fayting's dated from Cambridge 19 November 1721, forwarding
a copy of verses entitled Conjuratio Fapistica by John Taylor, afterwards Residentiary
of St Paul's and editor of Demosthenes.
P. 30 no. 6. Benjamin Ray was ordained Deacon 28 May 1727 and licensed to
the curacy of Spalding, co. Lincoln, 29 May, he was ordained Priest 21 September
1729, and licensed to the curacy of Surfleet, co. Lincoln, 22 September, all by the
JBishop of Lincoln. He was for some time Master of Sleaford School.
The following account of him is given in Nichols's Literary Anecdotes, vi, 107-8:
"A most ingenious and worthy man, possessed of good learning, but ignorant of the
world; indolent and thoughtless and often very absent. He was perpetual curate
of Surfleet, of which he gave an account to the Gentlemen's Society at Spalding,
and curate of Cowbit, which is a chapel to Spalding, in the gift of trustees. His
hermitage of osiers and willows there was celebrated by William Jackson of Boston
in a MS. poem [some lines of which are given in Nichols, I. c.]. He communicated
to the Royal Society an account of a waterspout raised off the land in Deeping fen,
printed in their Transactions, vol. xlvii, p. 447 : and of an ancient coin to the
Gentleman's Magazine, 1744. Mr Pegge, about 1758, had a consultation with
Dr Taylor, residentiary of St Paul's, and a friend of Ray's to get him removed to
better situations ; and the Doctor was inclined to do it ; but, on better information,
and mature consideration, it was thought then too late to transplant him. He died
a bachelor at Spalding in 1760. There are several dissertations by him in the
Bihliotheca Topographica Britannica. A paper by him on the Egyptian Lotus was

two miles apart. He held both livings until his death, which occurred at Colchester
in December 1781 {Cambridge Chronicle, 5 January 1782).
P. 30 no. 8. William Brett was ordained Deacon 4 June 1726 by the Bishop of
Peterborough with letters dimissory from the Bishop of Salisbury, he to be curate
of a parish in Dorsetshire. One of these names was instituted Vicar of Netherbury
with Beaminster, Dorset, 24 August 1743, resigning the living in 1745 (Hutchins,
History of Dorset, ii, 145).
P. 31 no. 9. The name of father and son should be Lynn; see the admission of
another son, P. 51 no. 4. It is stated (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, vi, 72; Genea-
logist, i, 353) that George Lynn, the father, was also a member of the College. His
name does not occur in the Admission Register. He was of Southwick Hall, North-
amptonshire, and of the Inner Temple, Barrister-at-Law. He married Elizabeth,
daughter of Humphry Bellamy of London, Merchant. He died 28 June, and was
buried 5 July 1742 at Southwick, aged 65. George Lynn, the son and heir, was of

memory. His wife, Anne Lynn, died 14, and was buried at Southwick 21 August
1767, aged 57 (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, I.e.; Genealogist, i, 354). George Lynn,
son and heir apparent of George Lynn of Southwick Hall, Northamptonshire, was
admitted a student of the Inner Temple 3 November 1722 and was called to the Bar
21 June 1729. The father does not seem to occur as a member of any of the Inns
of Court.
P. 31 no. 11. William Carr was ordained Deacon 9 June 1727 and licensed to
the curacy of Weighton, Yorks., with a stipend of £20, he was ordained Priest

27 March 1711. He married at Empiugham, Rutland, Mary Weston, 16 April 1698.
In the Lansdown MSS. 9896 Brit. Mus. is a letter of John Chevalier to Dr Kennett,
Bishop of Peterborough, respecting the augmentation of the vicarage of Greetham,
CO. Rutland, dated Greatham, 8 June 1704.
A Mr John Chevallier was buried at St Martin's, Stamford Baron, 8 March 172J,
and Mrs Mary Chevallier 9 December 1728. I am unable to say whether these were
of kin to the Rev. John Chevalier of Greetham, neither of their wills is at Peter-
borough (Mr Justin Simpson).
Nathaniel Michael Chevallier took the B.A. degree in 1725. He was ordained
Deacon 5 March 172^ by the Bishop of Peterborough and licensed to the curacy of
Empingham, Rutland, he was ordained Priest 26 May 1728 by the Bishop of Lincoln,
at the instance of the Bishop of Peterborough. He was instituted Vicar of Bitch-
field, CO. Lincoln, 9 September 1728, and held the living until 1756.

of All Saints, Cambridge).
P. 31 no. 16. William Dixon was ordained Deacon 16 March 172| and Priest

His successor was appointed in 1730.
P. 31 no. 16. John Burton was ordained Deacon 9 Jane 1727 and licensed to

P. 31 no. 17. Richard Swale was ordained Deacon in 1726 and Priest 25 August
1728 by the Bishop of Chester. On 26 August 1728 the Bishop of Chester licensed

Arkendale in the parish of Knaresborough. On 7 September 1763 he was instituted
Vicar of Nidd, Yorks. He died at Arkendale in June or July 1789, aged 85, being
then Vicar of Nidd, curate of South Stainley and of Arkendale (Gentleman's Magazine,
1789, p. 573 6; Cambridge Chronicle, 18 July 1789).
P. 31 no. 18. Francis Tennant was ordained Priest by the Bishop of London

Ely, to Dean Moss, dated from Ely 25 November 1725 the following passage occurs :
"One Thomas Heblethwait is chosen vicar choral in the room of Serle. He has
a tolerable voice " (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, v, 357). One of these names was
instituted Rector of West Treswell, Notts., 4 April 1733, holding the living until
1764.
P. 32 no. 20. This is probably the 'John Holmes, scholar' who was buried in
All Saints' Church 13 February 172^ (All Saints, Cambridge, Parish Register).
P. 32 no. 22. The father was of St John's, admitted 8 January 16|J (Part ii,

P. 32 no. 23. Robert Tatham, of Yarm, Yorks., married Bridget Laurence in
1652. Their son, Ralph, born in 1677, married Ann Mawes. This is the father of
the member of St John's. In the church at Bishoptou there is a monument to his
memory with the inscription : Here lies the body of Ralph Tatam, who departed
this life May 9, 1742, aet. 64.
Ralph Tatham, of St John's, took the MB. degree at Cambridge in 1727. He
seems to have taken the degree of M.D. at some foreign University, to have
practised as a physician at Sunderland, and to have died in 1752. His son, Ralph
Tatham, afterwards Vicar of Bishopton, was admitted to the College 5 June 1771 ;
and his grandson, Ralph Tatham, son of the Vicar of Bishopton, admitted to the
College 20 June 1796, was Master of St John's from 1839 to 1857.
Ralph Tatham, M.D. appears to have been married at least twice. He married
Sarah, daughter of Ralph Robinson of Houghton-le-Spring and Sunderland, gent.
(Surtees, History of Durham, i, 190-1 ; the Christian name of this wife was perhaps
Mary). Ralph Tatham by his will, dated 5 July 1752, appointed his trusty friends
Ralph Lambton and George Scruton executors and trustees; he desired to be buried,
in Sunderland churchyard, beside his "late wife Mary"; he mentions his brother
William Tatham, his wife Elizabeth, his daughter Elizabeth and his son Ralph.
The Parish Register of Sunderland has the following entries: 1751, August 7, Ralph,
son of Ralph and Elizabeth Tatham, baptized ; 1752, November 23, Ann, daughter
of the late Ralph and Elizabeth Tatham, buried ; 1753, July 12, Elizabeth, widow
of Dr Tatham, buried. Ralph Tatham, himself, was buried in the churchyard of
Holy Trinity, Sunderland, 20 September 1752 (Notes from Mr H. M. Wood and
from members of the Tatham family).
P. 32 no. 24. Thomas Wilson was ordained Deacon 26 February 172f by the
Bishop of Norwich in the Church of St Edmund the King and Martyr, London,
with letters dimissory from the Archbishop of York. He then stated that he was
born in the parish of Arnold, Notts., and that his age was 24, which does not agree
with his age as given in the College Register.
One of these names was instituted Rector of Hautboy (alias Hobbys), Norfolk,
14 December 1730 and seems to have vacated it on being instituted Vicar of Holy
Trinity, Bungay, Suffolk, 19 February 173f , holding the latter living until 1774.
P. 32 no. 26. George Barber was ordained Deacon 28 May 1727 and licensed to
the curacy of Hemingford, Hunts., he was ordained Priest 21 September 1729 and
licensed to the curacy of Ampthill, Beds., next day, all by the Bishop of Lincoln.
The Parish Register of Kippax has the two following entries: 29 March 1705, Geo:
filius Gulielmi Barber bap.; 20 January 1765, Mr George Barber, clerk, buried.
P. 32 no. 26. Hammond Turner was admitted a Fellow of the College 9 April
1728 : his Fellowship was filled up again in March 173f . He was ordained Deacon
20 May 1728 by the Bishop of Lincoln, and Priest 3 August 1730 by the Bishop of
Ely. He was instituted Rector of Hawksworth, Notts., 15 February 173J, and
Rector of Todwick, Yorks., 9 June 1736. On 5 June 1736, when he is described as
Chaplain to John, Earl Rothes, he received a dispensation from the Archbishop of
Canterbury to hold both livings, then stated to be of the value of £80 and £60
respectively and to be about 25 miles apart. He held both livings until his death
in 1775.
P. 32 no. 28. William Bedford was the eldest son of Hilkiah Bedford (Part ii,
P. 75 no. 5, p. lix). He entered himself on the physic line at Leyden 10 September
1727. In 1737 he was created Doctor of Medicine at Cambridge by royal mandate,
and then settling in London was admitted a candidate of the College of Physicians
30 September 1737, and a Fellow 30 September 1738. He delivered the Gulstonian
Lectures in 1740; was Censor in 1742 and 1745, and Registrar in 1745 and 1746.
Dr Bedford was appointed physician to Christ's Hospital in November 1746. He
died 10 July 1747, was buried in the burying-ground of St Michael Olave (united
to the parish of St Nicholas, Cole Abbey, Old Fish Street), and is commemorated by
the following inscription in the Church of St Nicholas, Cole Abbey: Gulielmo

He was the intimate friend of Thomas Hearne, the antiquary, who, according to
the Gentleman's Magazine, v, 333, left him his MSS., which were very numerous.
He was twice married (Munk, Roll of the Royal College of Physicians, ii, 138.
Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, i, 169). He was a correspondent of Dr Z. Grey (Nichols,
Literary Illustrations, iv, 248). His only daughter, Elizabeth, by his second wife,
married in 1778 John Claxton of Lincoln's Inn, F.S.A. She erected a monument
to her mother, Elizabeth, who died 29 September 1790, aged 87.
P. 32 no. 29. John Stubbinge took the degree of M.B. in 1728. He was a
medical pupil under Boerhave at Leyden and a friend of Samuel Pegge (see next
entry), who travelled with him to Leyden in the summer of 1731 (Pegge, Curialia
Miscellanea, p. xix). He was admitted a student at Leyden 4 October 1728.
P. 32 no. 30. Christopher Pegge, the father, was for some time a wooUendraper,
afterwards a lead merchant, in Chesterfield, where he was a member of the Corpora-
tion and died in his third mayoralty in the year 1723. Samuel Pegge was his only
son, by his first wife Gertrude, daughter of Francis Stevenson of Unston, co. Derby
(Hunter, Familiae Minorum Gentium, Harl. Soc. Publ., xxvii, 306-7, where there is
a pedigree). He was born 5 November 1704 at Chesterfield. He was admitted to
a Beresford Fellowship 21 March 172|. This was a Fellowship restricted to
Founder'^ kin, failing them to natives of Derbyshire. The other candidate was
Michael Burton (P. 16 no. 42), who appealed to the Bishop of Ely against the
decision of the College and was successful, Pegge being ejected and Burton admitted
in his place 28 September 1727. Pegge was however admitted to a Piatt Fellowship
17 March 17 1?, and held this until his marriage 13 April 1732 to Anne Clarke, only
daughter of Benjamin Clarke of Stanley, near Wakefield, Yorks. He was ordained
Deacon 21 December 1729 and Priest 22 February 17§§ by the Bishop of Norwich.
While resident in the University he was a member of the ' Zodiac Club,' a literary
Society, originally of twelve members. In 1728 the society was increased by six,
named after six of the Planets, and Mr Pegge was the original 'Mars.' After being
ordained he became curate to Dr John Lynch, Dean of Canterbury (Part ii, P. 215
no. 55), at Sandwich, in Kent. Dr Lynch procured for him, through his father-in-
law, Archbishop Wake, the Vicarage of Godmersham, in Kent, to which Pegge was
collated 1 December 1731. There he resided twenty years, busily engaged in
antiquarian studies, contributing more than fifty memoirs to Archaeologia. His
wife died in July 1746, and in Godmersham Church is a monument to her memory
with this inscription : " mdccxlvi | Anna Clarke, uxor Samuelis Pegge | Vicarii
hujus parochiae; | Mulier, si qua alia, sine dolo, | Yitam aeternam et beatam
fidenter hie sperat; | nee erit frustra." Mr Pegge now sought preferment in
Derbyshire. He had first the offer of the perpetual curacy of Brampton, but through
a dispute as to the right of presentation did not get it. He was however presented
to the rectory of Whittington, co. Derby, and instituted 30 October 1751. By an
arrangement between the Duke of Devonshire and the Archbishop of Canterbury,
Mr Pegge was presented to the rectory of Brindle or Brinhill, co. Lancaster, and
instituted 20 November 1751, the Archbishop collating the Duke's nominee to
Godmersham. By arrangement with the Duke, Mr Pegge ceded Brindle and was
instituted to the Vicarage of Heath, co. Derby, 21 October 1758 on the Duke's
presentation. On 18 November 1758 he was appointed Chaplain to the Marquis of
Hartington. On 26 October 1757 he was collated to the Prebend of Bubbenhall in
Lichfield Cathedral, ceding this on his collation 29 January 1763 to the Prebend of
Whittington with Berkswych in Lichfield Cathedral. In 1765 he was presented to
the perpetual curacy of Wingerworth, in Derbyshire, and on 11 May 1772 he was
collated by his College friend, Dr John Green, Bishop of Lincoln, to the Prebend of
Louth in Lincoln Cathedral. He also obtained aKesidentiaryship atLichfield in 1790.
All these preferments he held until his death 14 February 1796. He was buried at
Whittington in the chancel, where, on a black marble tablet, there is the following
inscription : "At the North end of the Altar table, within the Bails, | lie the remains
of Samuel Pegge, LL.D. | who was inducted to this Rectory, Nov. 11, 1751, | and
died Feb. 14, 1796 ; ) in the 92nd year of his age." This account of him is very
much abridged from his Biographical Memoirs written by his son, Samuel Pegge
(P. 133 no. 12), prefixed to his Curialia Miscellanea. To this a portrait of Dr Pegge
350 APPENDIX.
is prefixed. This life, with some additions, is printed in Nichols's Literary
Anecdotes, vi, 224 — 259. This gives a full list of Mr Pegge's publications and
papers, and possesses additional interest in the frank explanations it contains of
the reasons for his ecclesiastical preferments. See also Gentleman's Magazine, 1796,
pp. 451, 803, 891, 979, 1081; 1797, p. 743.
His only daughter, Anne Katharine, widow of the Rev. John Bourne, died at
Spital, near Chesterfield, 3 January 1816, aged 81 (Gentleman's Magazine, 1816,
i, 183).
P. 33 no. 33. Edward Holmes was ordained Priest by the Bishop of Lincoln
26 May 1728 and licensed next day to the curacy of Ayott, Herts.
P. 33 no. 34. The Register of Clare has the following entry: "1719 October 7,
Samuel Shaw, born at Tamworth, pensioner, pupil to Mr Green ; from Christ
Church College, Oxford, where he had kept 10 terms." Samuel Shaw, son of
Samuel Shaw of Tamworth, co. Stafford, matriculated at Oxford from Christ Church
10 November 1716, aged 17 (Foster, Alumni Oxonienses).
P. 33 no. 36. Michael Godly was ordained Priest 16 August 1730 and licensed
to the curacy of Croxton in the parish of Halifax, by the Archbishop of York. He
■was instituted Vicar of Farndon St Peter (or Farringdon with Balderstone), Notts.,
22 June 1731. His successor was instituted in January 1766.
P. 33 no. 36. Joseph Sutcliffe was ordained Priest by the Bishop of Chester
12 January 172f . On 6 September 1731 he was licensed by the Bishop of Chester
"to teach boys in the parish of Rochdale in the art of grammar, writing, arithmetic
and so forth."
P. 33 no. 37. See the admission of the father, Part ii, P. 114 no. 30. John
Marsh was ordained Deacon 24 December 1727 by the Bishop of Peterborough, with
letters dimissory from the Archbishop of Canterbury, and Priest 18 February 173|
by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was collated Vicar of St Margaret's at Cliffe 19 Feb.
173^ and Vicar of West Cliffe 9 July 1733, both county Kent, succeeding his father
in both cases. He was also licensed to the curacy of Buckland, Kent, by the
Archbishop of Canterbury, 19 February 173^. He preached the sermon before the
King's School (Canterbury) Feast Society in 1738. In the north aisle of the Church
of St Margaret at Cliffe there is a lozenge-shaped tablet of black marble with this
inscription : In memory of | the Rev. John Marsh A.M. | forty years vicar of this
parish: | died Sept. 1, 1773, aged 69 years. | Also Richard Marsh A.M. | the pre-
ceding Vicar | and father of the said John Marsh (Sidebotham, Memorials of the
King's School, Canterbury, 26; Gentleman's Magazine, 1803, i, 507 a).
P. 33 no. 38. John Jebb was the fourth son of Samuel Jebb by his wife, Elizabeth
Gilliver (Burke, Landed Gentry, Jebb of Walton). After taking his B.A. degree
from St John's in 1725 he migrated to Christ's College, where he became a Fellow.
In the summer of 1728, while waiting for a fellowship, he hoped to be put on the
list of the King's "modem Schollars" (who were nominated by the Crown to learn
two modern languages). He trusted that his taking Holy Orders would not dis-
qualify him; for "most on the last list were of that Profession." Before his
ordination to the curacy of Sandy he had entertained the idea that a place on the
Modern List might lead to a Secretaryship in England or Ireland or to some envoy
or nobleman, as it had done for those in the last list; for such of the set as were
taken any notice of. He understood French already and something of Italian (Words-
worth, Scholae Academicae, 149 n.). He married Anne, daughter of David Gansel
of Donnyland Hall, near Colchester, and seems to have settled in Loudon, for his
son, John Jebb, the physician (of Peterhouse, B.A. 1757), was born in Southampton
Street, Covent Garden, 16 February 1736 (Disney, Memoir of Dr John Jebb, 1).
About this time, or a little earlier, he went to Ireland as Chaplain to the Duke
of Devonshire, Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. He had a letter from Lord Oxford to
Jonathan Swift (Sir Walter Scott, If'orks of Jonathan Swift, D.D., xviii, 221, 330).
On 5 April 1740 the Duke presented him to the Treasurership of Christ Church,
Dublin, he was admitted 10 April and installed next day. On 29 March 1743 he
brought to the Dean and Chapter a new patent dated 22 Marcli, and again took the
oath and was admitted. This office he held until his death. In 1736 he appears
as Prebendary of Kilmanagh in Ossory Cathedral, vacating in 1740. He was
appointed Dean of Cashel by patent dated 22 June 1769, holding this until his
death (Cotton, Fasti Ecclesiae Hibernicae, i, 38; ii, 63, 320). He was also for some
APPENDIX. 351
time Rector of St Thomas-in-the-East, Dublin. He seems to have resided, at least
in later years, at Egham, near Windsor {Annual Biography, 1835, p. 123). Theo-
philus Lindsey writing 16 October 1779 says of him: "Mr Dean Jebb will not be
pleased with being characterised as very old, which, in the manner it is said,
involves the infirmities of that period; whereas at 76 he is as active and vigorous
as many men of 40, and more robust, for such is his make, than most men." The
Dean died 6 February 1787 (Sichols, Literary Illiutration8,iv, ill ; Nichols, Literary
Anecdotes, i, 161).
P. 33 no. 39. George Carr took the B.A. degree in 1725. He was appointed
under-Usher of the Grammar School in Newcastle-on-Tyne 26 September 1726.
This he resigned in 1742 when he was appointed minister of the episcopal chapel in
Edinburgh, which he held until his death. He was a man very highly respected. After
his decease three volumes of his sermons were published in Edinburgh in 1777 by
his widow. He gained the respect and esteem even of the Scotch Presbyterians;
for Mr Amot says, they " can now behold, without emotion, even the funeral service
performed publicly." "Upon the death of Mr Carr, the senior clergyman of the
Chapel, he was interred under its portico : the funeral service sung, and the voices
were accompanied by the organ." A monument was placed to his memory with the
following inscription : " Near this place are deposited the remains of the Rev. George
Carr, senior clergyman of this Chapel, in whom meekness and moderation, un-
affected piety, and universal benevolence, were equally and eminently conspicuous.
After having faithfully discharged the duties of his sacred position, during thirty-
nine years, he died on 16th August 1776, in the 71st year of his age, beloved,
honoured, lamented. His congregation, deeply sensible of the loss they sustained
in the death of this excellent person, by whose mild and pathetic eloquence, by
whose exemplary yet engaging manners, they have been so long instructed in the
duties, and animated to the practice, of pure religion, have erected this monument,
to record the virtues of the dead and the gratitude of the living" (Mackenzie, History
of Newcastle-vpon-Tyne, 424; Nichols, Illustrations, v, 129; History of Edinburgh,
286).
P. 33 no. 40. William Bowen, son of John Bowen of Upton, co. Pembroke,
gentleman, matriculated at Oxford from Jesus College 13 February 170|, aged 18.
He was admitted a student of the Middle Temple 1.5 March 170f , when he is
described as ' son and heir. ' He was instituted Rector of Lawrenny, co. Pembroke,
7 April 1712. Roland Gwynn, his successor there, was instituted 30 October 1722.
William Bowen was admitted to the LL.B. degree at Cambridge in 1722.
P. 34 no. 41. Thomas Richmond, son of Toby Richmond of Marlborough, Wilts.,
gentleman, matriculated at Oxford from Balliol College 15 January 171^, aged 16.
He took the B.A. degree in 1715 and the M.A. at Cambridge, from St John's,
in 1722.
P. 34 no. 42. Henry Loftus was B.A. 1725, M.A. 1733. One of these names
was instituted Rector of Roydon near Castle-Rising 1 May 1740 and Rector of
Castle-Rising 16 July 1740, both in Norfolk. Both livings were vacant in 1754.
P. 34 no. 43. Robert Smith was ordained Deacon 24 September 1727 and was
licensed next day to the curacy of Thurleston, co. Leicester, he was ordained Priest
20 September 1730 (at the instance of the Bishop of Peterborough) all by the Bishop
of Lincoln. One of these names was instituted Vicar of Harringworth, North-
amptonshire, 7 August 1752, and held the living until 1779.
There is a little obscurity about this Robert Smith's ordination. A Robert
Smith (stated to have been ordained Deacon 24 September 1727 by the Bishop of
Lincoln) was ordained Priest 23 September 1727 by the Bishop of Peterborough,
and was licensed to the curacy of Blatherwick, Northamptonshire, 29 September
1727. The dates it will be observed are inconsistent. This entry cannot very well
refer to the Robert Smith, or Smyth (P. 11 no. 48), who was ordained Deacon by
the Bishop of Peterborough. It may be that the ordinations were crosswise;
Robert Smyth (P. 11 no. 48) being ordained Deacon by the Bishop of Peterborough
and postponing his ordination as Priest till 1730 wlien he was ordained by the
Bishop of Lincoln for the Bishop of Peterborough. And this Robert Smith (P. 34
no. 43) ordained Deacon by the Bishop of Lincoln 24 September 1727, being
ordained Priest by the Bishop of Peterborough a few days later, and that for
September 23 we should read 25 or 28.

P. 34 no. 44. Thomas Eobinson was admitted curate of Ugglebarnby and
Eskdale, Yorkshire, 26 July 1727. On 13 April 1738 he married Olivia, daughter
of Henry Stapylton, Eector of Marske and Thornton Watlass. He was instituted
Eector of Wycliffe, Yorkshire, 8 May 1731 where there is this epitaph to his
memory: "H. S. E. Thomas Eobinson A.M. | hujus ecclesiae rector per annos
ferme triginta octo. | Obiit Septimo Calendas Aprilis A.D. 1769, aet. 66 " | . His
will was proved at York 20 May 1769, administration being granted to his widow
and son (Yorkshire Archaeological and Topographical Journal, vi, 193, where
however he is confused with Thomas Eobinson admitted to the College 20 April
1716, P. 3 no. 27; Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, viii, 397, ix, 695; Gentleman's
Magazine, Ixxxii, part 2, 323 a). His son, Stapylton Eobinson, was also a member
of the College; see P. 151 no. 15.
P. 34 no. 45. Soame Jenyns was the only son of Sir Eoger Jenyns and Eliza-
beth, a daughter of Sir Peter Soame of Hayden, Essex, baronet. He was born at
twelve o'clock at night in Great Ormond Street in London in the year 170f . He
chose New Year's Day as his birthday (i.e. March 25). He was privately educated
and left St John's without taking a degree. His father Sir Eoger Jenyns was
chiefly occupied with the drainage of the Fens, and was knighted for his services
by King William III at Kensington, 9 January If f §. Soame Jenyns was married
young and devoted his early years to literary pursuits. On the death of his father
he was returned as M.P. for the county of Cambridge 30 April 1741, and again
16 July 1747. He was returned as M.P. for Dunwich in Suffolk 16 April 1754,
but resigned in 1758, being returned 29 November 1758 as M.P. for the borough of
Cambridge, sitting tor this constituency until 1780, being returned as M.P. at the
elections 25 March 1761, 18 March 1768 and 8 October 1774. He was apparently
present at the election in 1780. William Cole writes under date 24 May 1780 :
" Mr Soame Jenyns told me, that he did not mean to offer his services for the Town
any more : he would have been extremely chearful at the thoughts of it, and the
repetition of such riots, drunkenness, and licentiousness as he saw yesterday:
but all the time I was with him seemed much frightened, as he has escaped being
trampled to death by the mob in the Castle-yard, either by design or accident. I
observed one side of his face was much bruised by his fall. He is not fit to go
among a mob: his age, slight make, and short-sightedness, should have warned
him against it; especially a mob of all the Sectaries in the Town and County"
(Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, i, 687-8).
While in Parliament, Mr Jenyns was a supporter of Sir Eobert Walpole. In
1755 he was appointed one of the Lords Commissioners of the Bounty, Trade and
Plantations, holding this until the constitution of the Board was altered by Parlia-
ment. His claims to fame are however literary and not political. He wrote much
and his writings enjoyed great popularity in their day. He first appeared as an
author in a lively jew d' esprit, entitled The Art of Dancing, published anonymously
in 1729. The list of his works occupies nearly three columns in the Catalogue of
the British Museum. Among the more notable of these are A Free Inquiry into
the Nature and Origin of Evil, published in 1757, and this is chiefly interesting
on account of the exquisite critical essay on it by Dr Samuel Johnson which
appeared in the Literary Magazine. In 1776 he published A View of the Internal
Evidence of the Christian Religion, which Dr Johnson characterised as " a pretty
book, not very theological indeed." It had however a great vogue and was trans-
lated into French in 1797, Polish 1782, and modern Greek in 1804. Briefly stated,
his view is that Christianity as an ethical system is so superior to all other forms
of religion that it must be of Divine origin. His writings have been described as
a " singular mixture of piety, wit, error, wisdom, and paradox." And he himself
as "an elegant but not an exact writer ; and an ingenious but not an accurate
thinker." He died after a short illness on 18 December 1787 at his house in Tilney
Street, Audley Square, leaving no issue.
He bequeathed all his copyrights and literary papers to Charles Nalson Cole
(P. 95 no. 32), who published a collected edition of his works in 1790 in four
volumes, to which a sketch of his life is prefixed; from this the following extracts
are taken.
He was a man of great mildness, gentleness, and sweetness of temper, which
he manifested to all with whom he had concerns, either in the business of life or
its social intercourse. His earnest desire was, as far as it was possible, never to
APPENDIX. 353
offend any person ; and to make such allowances, even for those who in their
dispositions differed from him, that he was rarely offended with others ; of which
in a long life he gave many notable instances In private life he was most amiable
and engaging, for he was possessed of a well-informed mind, accompanied by an
uncommon vein of the most lively, spirited and genuine wit, which always flowed
very copiously amongst those with whom he conversed, but which was tempered
with such a kindness of nature that it never was the cause of uneasiness to any
of those with whom he lived ; this made his acquaintance much sought after and
courted by all those who had a taste for brilliant conversation, being well assured
that they would be delighted with it where he was; and that, though they did not
possess the same talent, they never would be censured by him because they wanted
it From having long had a seat at the Board of Trade, and constantly attending
his duty there, he gained an understanding of the great lines of the commercial
interests of this country; and, though he never employed himself in acquiring the
knowledge of a minute detail of its particular branches, yet, when general commerce
happened to be the subject of conversation, he discoursed upon it pertinently, and
much to the information of those that were present, having never failed to avail
himself of the knowledge which was brought to that Board by merchants of the
first eminence, who frequently applied to it on great objects of national concern,
as connected with its commerce.... He always considered the British Empire as
enlarged beyond the bounds dictated by sound policy; that those parts of it
situated beyond the Atlantic Ocean to the west, beyond the Cape of Good Hope
to the east, were at too great a distance to be governed as they ought to be;
that the American colonies were too kindly fostered by the mother country ; that
the millions expended in promoting their growth would, at last, rear them to a
height at which they would think themselves entitled to ask for emancipation from
their parent state ; an observation he often made before the event happened, and
he lived to see with regret his prophecy, with consequences he did not foresee,
become true history.... As an author, so long as true taste of fine writing shall
exist, he will have a distinguished place amongst those who have excelled. What-
ever he hath published, whether he played with his muse, or appeared in the plain
livery of prose, was sought for with avidity, and read with pleasure, by those
who at the time were esteemed the best judges of composition... He was buried
at Bottisham, and the following curious entry is in the Parish Register for
1787: Soame Jenyns in the 83rd year of his age. | What his literary character
was, I The world hath already judged for itself; | But it remains for his Parish
Minister | to do his duty, | By declaring | That while he registers the burial
of I So.AME Jenyns, | he regrets the loss of one of the most | amiable of men, \
And one of the truest Christians. | To the Parish of Bottisham he is an | irre-
parable loss. I He was buried in this church, Dec. 27, | near midnight, | By
William Lort Mansell, sequestrator; j Who thus transgresses the common forms |
of a Register. | Merely because he thinks it to be | The most solemn and lasting
method | of recording to posterity, | That the^ne«t understanding \ Has been united
to the best heart (The Works of Soame Jenyns, by C. N. Cole, vol. i, pp. xv — Ivii).
With these eulogies may be compared the following account, by another friend
and acquaintance, William Cole, preserved in his collections for an Athenae Canta-
brigienses (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5873).
Soame Jenyns, Esq., One of the Lords of Trade. This gentleman is son to Sir
Roger Jenyns, knt., of Botesham in Cambridgeshire, who being an artful, cunning
and intriguing man, raised from a small beginning in fortune, for he was of a
good family of Hayes, a very considerable estate by his management in the Fen
Corporation. He married Elizabeth, a daughter of Sir Peter Soame of Hayden in
Essex, bart., by whom he had this only child, Soame Jenyns, esq. But by a
former wife who is buried in the south transept of Ely Cathedral, in which city
he formerly lived and built a neat house, fronting the Bishop's Palace Gallery,
before he purchased Botesham, he had a daughter, married to one Mr Delamore,
of Long Sutton in Lincolnshire, whom I have often seen at Botesham, and indeed
at my chambers at King's College ; which daughter was taken small notice of by
her father and mother-in-law. Mr Soame Jenyns was educated at St John's Col-
lege, under Mr White, and was married very young by his father to a young lady
of between 20 and £30,000, to whom he was left guardian, and without much
consulting the inclinations of the young couple, who was first cousin in blood,
she being a natural daughter to Colonel Soame of Deerham Grange in Norfolk:
354 APPENDIX.
SO that it was generally supposed there never was any great affection between
theoi. However they lived tolerably well together, as to any outward appearance
in the eye of the world, so long as old Sir Eoger lived, who was supposed to have
kept them together, for they always lived in the same family. But on the death
of Sir Roger, Mrs Jenyns, under pretence of a journey to Bath for her health,
made an elopement with one Mr Levyns, whom I remember at Eton schole, and
was a Leicestershire gentleman, with whom it was supposed that she had lived
very familiarly even while that gentleman used to be at Mr Jenyns' house at
Botesham, on the footing of a friend and acquaintance, and what made it more
extraordinary, Mrs Jenyns was neither young nor handsome, a very bad com-
plexion, lean, scraggy arms, and noways inviting. Since which elopement about
the year 1742, they never cohabited together. A separate maintenance being
allowed to the lady, who lived altogether in or about London. By this lady he
has no issue, who dying about the beginning of 1754 or latter end of the preceding
year Mr Jenyns remarried, in Somerset House Chapel on Tuesday 26 Febr. 1754,
his first cousin Mrs Eliz. Gray, who had lived in the house with him long before
his wife's elopement, and ever after; and has been said to have occasioned early
differences between them. She was daughter to a Mr Gray, a merchant in London,
who failed in his business, after whose death, she and her mother for sometime
lived at Hackney; and after Mr Jenyns' first wife's elopement, with him in London
and Botesham, where the old lady died and was buried. Mr Jenyns' marrying this
lady may be looked upon as a great piece of generosity and honour, as she is a
person of no great beauty now, whatever pretensions she might have had formerly,
which I have often heard say she had, and likewise pretty far advanced in years,
and no fortune at all, to make up deficiencies : which though Mr Jenyns wants
not, yet as he is rather of a niggardly and covetous disposition, would no doubt
have added much to her recommendation. She is rather undersized and thin,
unlike her mother in that respect, who was short and squat, and all of a heap,
yet alike in temper and disposition, being both of them of a very sweet, soft and
mild disposition, and well spoken of by everyone. As Mrs Jenyns is past the
flower of her beauty, as well as of life, there is hardly a probability of their
having any children : so that the estate will go to the son of Roger Jenyns late
of Windsor, who had been Clerk of the Peace for Buckinghamshire; which son
married the daughter of Prof. Chappelow and has been long subject to the com-
plaint called St Vitus his Dance ; though otherwise a well-looking, jolly young
man. It is well known that several of the soft and tender things in his Poems
are designed as compliments to this second lady, who is indeed very deserving of
them, so far as an easy, good, and complying temper can entitle her to them;
otherwise of a very insipid and unmeaning conversation. Mr Jenyns is the author
of several poetical as well as prose performances, published separately without his
name ; and afterwards by Dodsley in his collection, and since collected all together
in one pocket volume, without his name, but the author's arms only on the Title
Page, viz. Three Bezants on a Fesse. The first performance in the poetical way
which appeared was Lis Essay on Dancing, which is well esteemed of in its way:
and indeed one would wonder that it should be otherways, inasmuch as the author
seems calculated by nature, person and manner to excell in that profession : and
if a person who did not know him, was to be asked on seeing him dressed, what
was his profession, I think it is ten to one but that he would say he was a Dancing
Master. He has the misfortune to be extremely short-sighted ; a circumstance
not unusual with eyes formed as his are, wliich are very projecting; and though
he has a large wen in his neck, which a grave and even no very large wig, would
cover and hide, yet this predominancy for dress is such, that a small little Bag or
Pig-tail wig is preferred; by which means the aforesaid blemish is visible to every-
one. About ten years ago [I write this Dec. 20, 1768] he printed two 8vo volumes,
the first of which was on the Origin of Evil, and wrote in the mode of the present
age, and gave offence to those who have any regard for Revelation : the other was
made up of detached political pieces, and other things; among which are many of
great humour and liveliness. I have the books, but in my present confused situa-
tion I can't recur to them.
In 1767 was printed at London a small pamphlet without his name, but known
to be wrote by him with this title : Thoughts on the Causes and Consequences of the
present high prices of Provisions ; which was looked upon, on its first appearance,
to be a well wrote and sensible account of the subject it treated of ; however there
APPENDIX. 355
appeared soon after, in the spring of 1768, a short pamphlet, said to have been
wrote by Mr Samuel Peck, Fellow of Trinity College, and Vicar of Trumpington,
with this Title : An Aiisicer to a Pamphlet intitled '^Thoughts on the Causes, e^c." In
a letter addressed to the supposed Author of that Pamphlet, By a gentleman of
Cambridge. London, 8vo., 1768. Price 6d. Pages 34, which is wrote with great
tartness and acrimony to the person of Mr Jenyns, upon his being a Pensioner, as
well as in ridicule of his arguments. Mr Peck denied his writing it to me : however
by the turn of the periods and manner of it, I rather suspect him to be the author
of it. But I will finish this account by transcribing what I wrote in another Book
many years ago about him.
Mr Jenyns is a man of a lively fancy and pleasant turn of wit ; very sparkling in
conversation and full of merry conceits and agreeable drollery, which is heightened
by his particular inarticulate manner of speaking through his broken teeth ; and all
this is mixed with the utmost good-nature and humanity ; having hardly ever heard
him severe upon anyone, and by no means satyrical in his mirth and good humour.
But notwithstanding all his amiable qualities, which are calculated rather for
social than public hfe, it is probable he will not be rechosen for Cambridgeshire,
except the Duke of Kutland should, luckily for him, and the Marquis of Granby,
not get over this most dangerous fit of the stone at Bath. For Mr Jenyns being
rather of a finical and beauish turn, and not made at all for canvassing and
caballing at Elections, has no other interest in the County than what mj' Lord
Montfort procures him; and indeed would never have been chosen at all, had it not
been for the same gentleman and Mr Sam. Sheppeard who were distressed whom to
apply to in the County for a proper representative; many of the principal gentry of
the county to whom it was offered, refusing it. And indeed Sir Roger, and
Mr Jenyns himself, had always been of contrary interest to these gentlemen ; but
they conceiving well of this gentleman's good sense and integrity, were thoroughly
satisfied in their choice ; for he saw that the keeping of Parties was only a
political contrivance of a Minority in order to make themselves considerable and
be taken notice of, yet always avail themselves of every occasion that offers itself
to serve their own Interests.

In October 1777, living with him at Botesham, he gave me two of his Prints from
a picture by Sir Joshua Reynolds in folio Mezzotinto, engraved by W. Dickinson in
1776 : he is standing, and resting his head on his left hand, in laced ruffles. It is
tlie most fiattering likeness I ever beheld, and though it was never like him that
I remember, which is near 50 years, yet one can't say it is altogether unlike. The
prominency of the eye, though that is much softened, gives it the resemblance.
Mr Lort calling here Friday, .January 15, 1779, he took a short extract of what he
thought to send to Father Wilkes at the English Benedictines in Paris, who had
a mind, or some friend at Paris, to give a translation of Mr Jenyns 'Internal
Evidence.' I believe Mr Lort in his hurry, had little here to send.

Mr Jenyns' Internal Evidence of tfie Christian Religion.

Dining at the Master of St John's, Friday, June 30, 1780, where seeing some
curious Plate on the sideboard, among which was an oblong embossed silver gilt
dish, and in a rising in the middle, being a bason, were the single arms of
Edw. Villers, Esq., I think the date 1681, a very curious cup and cover, silver,
embossed on a foot of a foot-and-a-half height, several rich cups with handles and
an elegant one of silver gilt, two handles, with the arms of Jenyns Three Bezants
on a Fesse, given by Soame Jenyns, Esq., son of Sir Koger Jenyns of Botesham
Hall in 1725. Now supposing he was admitted at College at the usual age of 18,
and might stay there three years, he would be 21 years of age in 1725 and might
be born about 1704, so that I conceive him to be about 76 years of age.
Mr Mainwaring of St John's in his Dissertations at the head of his Sermons,
printed at Cambridge in 1780, speaking of the emotions that every feeling hearer
of our Lord's discourses in the Gospel must experience, adds this in a note at
p. Ixxxv : ' ' The force of this argument addressed to the feelings of ingenuous
thinkers and adapted to the reach of every understanding is greater than mere
scholars are willing to allow, and was never represented to so much advantage as in
a beautiful little Treatise entitled A view of the Internal Evidence of Christianity.
Yet it should seem from some of the answers to that book, as if the Author had
betrayed or assaulted the Religion he so happily defends. Zealots and Bigots, of
which the most reformed Churches have a competent share, are wonderfully expert
in making Infidels, but never, I believe, have converted any. One would think
however that when selfmade converts, especially of a class so very respectable,
voluntarily engage in the Cause of Religion, they would be received with civility
at least, not suspected as Foes and excluded from the limits of Communion,"

Letter from Mr Meyrick to Dr Williams about his duel.
London, 22 May 1727.
Dear Sir,
The low condition of spirits that I am now under will not allow me to answer
your letter in the manner I could wish to do, and to offer you my thanks for your
kind admonitions in so great a degree as they seem due, is much more my duty
than ability to perform; for as you assign such just reasons for your reproof, it can
only flow from the greatest act of goodness and friendship, which I hope always to
treat with due regard and esteem.
The uneasiness that I am under, that the report which you mention, should gain
so much credit in Cambridge, is no small concern to me : but the contradiction of
it, will I hope be well received, otherwise I must content myself, that it is not
anywhere else that I know of received to my disadvantage. The beginning of the
night had been perhaps too gaily spent with his Grace of Norfolk and some other
gentlemen, who had left live of us in company, about an hour before the dispute
arose, and about three hours before the skyrmish, as you call it, began. How I can
be accused of being an incendiary between the gentlemen, both my friends, and to
destroy your supposition, little known to each other, is exceedingly my surprise :
and indeed your account in general hath met with an University improvement.
A dispute arising between my poor unhappy adversary and Mr Stapleton, there
was a reference made to me, but my determination which by good luck happens to
be approved of, being in favour of neither, there being a misunderstanding in the
very foundation of the thing, it drew the indignation of both parties upon me ; but
Mr Stapleton having the advantage in point of temper was immediately satisfied
with the thing; but Mr Clifton, being very warm in his own cause, thought himself
highly injured by my not favouring him: upon which, with a deal of abusive
language, he got off his chair and asked me to follow him ; which the company
were prudent enough to prevent at that time.
This immoderate warmth was in all appearance at an end, and before we parted
I offered him my hand of peace and former friendship: and the next day I agreed
to make all acknowledgements of my side, that the company should adjudge most
proper, if he would enter into the same agreement : this he absolutely refus'd, upon
which I retracted from every thing I had said in regard to a reconcilement. He
still nourish'd his heat and passion to that degree, that the company all agreed to
the unhappy resentment that followed; and accordingly Mr Stapleton offered me to
be his (sic) second, which I refused to accept of, Mr Clifton being unprovided, and
being unwilling to draw anybody into my unhappy quarrel.
I shall not, even in my own justification, mention the greatest of misfortunes,
that hath since befallen the poor unhappy gentleman ; but he sent for me on
friday last to his most miserable place of confinement, and before the Duke of
Norfolk, Lord Gage and his brother. Sir Robert Clifton, made me most ample
acknowledgements for the injury, which the inclosed affidavit sets forth, with some
additions, not to be named at this unhappy juncture, and as I am in honour
oblig'd, there shall no affidavit or evidence whatever, that I can prevent, come in
any force against him ; and the steps that I have hitherto taken to prevent this,
hath engaged the thanks of Sir Robert, which I keep by me, and gaiu'd the appro-
bation of every gentleman that knows it: And when you have made the use which
you think proper of the enclosed affidavit, I beg you'll return it to me.
The challenge might perhaps be very offensive in the eyes of God and all good
men, yet I must still hope for the continuance of his great goodness and mercy;
and if it is my misfortune to lose tlie approbation of the religious part of mankind,
yet when I appeal to the judgement of men of honour, I shall not fall quite so low
as I am represented to do by the gentlemen of Cambridge ; nor can I find I have
lessened myself in the opinion of any but them. The goodnature and affability of
360 APPENDIX.
behaviour, which you are so kind to commend, was always my ambition how short
soever I might fall, of my design : but the natural fierceness of my temper will,
I fear, always incline me to resent injuries in the manner common amongst gentle-
men, and as it shall be my rule in life, never to offer any, so I hope never to receive
any, but what may be cancelled without blood, which shall ever be the prayer of
Dear Sir,
Your most affectionate and obliged
humble servant
Essex Meyrick.
I beg my service where it can be accepted. You'll hear more from me when
better able.
We were going, by consent, into the fields behind Queen's Square, only he was
seized with a sudden revenge by the way; for though I had a coach in waiting, he
would not go with me to provide pistols, neither would he allow me to provide
myself with a sword ; that which I had being a very short one for walking, and by
no means fit for such unhappy proceedings. The first wound I received was in my
right side standing in a posture to draw my sword, the next in my breast after my
sword was drawn ; the last in my back just as I fell, my sword being then in the
evidence's hand.
Cole adds the note : ' This last poscript is wrote on the back of the direction
of the letter, which is :
To the rev''. Mr Williams, Fellow
of St John's College, Cambridge
This.'
Then follows a letter wrote in Dr Williams' hand, tho' not signed, and was an
answer to the foregoing: tho' what is odd, the answer is dated May 25, 1726,
whereas the other is May 22, 1727. One or other is a mistake.
Answer to Mr Meyrick's letter about his duel. May 25, 1726.
Dear Sir
I read yours with exceeding pleasure, nothing being able to give me greater
satisfaction, than to hear your conduct clear'd in so unhappy and tender an
affair ; and your generous compassion to your unfortunate adversary in his present
circumstances, shews your temper to be such, as I could ever wish it to be, and will
certainly gain you the good opmion and applause of all your friends.
I own myself entirely satisfied in your conduct with regard to all the points of
honour, and have, and shall, make it my business to represent the true state of the
case to your friends and acquaintances here ; which will be a sufficient vindication
of you to them, and all the world.
I would not have you imagine that the relation of the affair receiv'd any
addition in this place : the account which I sent you was frequently confirmed
by gentlemen, who came immediately from London, and brought down the com-
mon report of the town : and that the story should be represented so much to your
disadvantage, I impute to your adversary's diligence, who probably might spread
this account in his own justification. I condemn myself for giving in so much
to the general rumour, and am exceedingly oblig'd to your candid interpretation
of several harsh expressions, which I certainly should never have made use of,
but upon a supposal of the truth of the matter of fact in general, as it was repre-
sented here ; and heartily beg your pardon for any undue asperities, that might
drop from my pen, in that excess of anxiety which I had upon your account, and
which purely proceeded from that freedom and concern for your welfare, which
friendship and affection inspired. But tho' I acquit you in all respects as a man
of honour, yet I can by no means as a Christian; for I defy the man of the sword
ever to vindicate the practice of giving or accepting challenges from the precepts of
Christianity ; but I will not now enter into a dispute of this nature. I own it is
exceedingly difficult for a gentleman, out of a gown, to have courage enough to
espouse a sentiment of this sort: but if you or I are convinced of the truth of
any point of Christianity it is self evident, that we ought to adhere to it without
regard to worldly consequences. The pleasure of obeying our Eedeemer, who
deserves the most absolute obedience from us, and the prospect of our future
recompense, should far outweigh all false and airy notions of honour, and greatly
overbalance all worldly disgrace and ignominy whatever.
I am dear Sir, &o.

P. 41 no. 30. Thomas Bedford was the second son of Hilkiah Bedford. Being
a Non-juror he never took a degree ; but, being an excellent scholar, going into
orders in that party, he went Chaplain into the family of Sir John Cotton, hart.,
then at Anglers in France ; after which (his sister being then married to Mr Smith)
he went into the neighbourhood of Durham, where he prepared his edition of
Symeonis Monachi Dunhelmensis libelliis ex Exordio atque Procursu DunhelmenMS
Ecclesiae; with a continuation to 1154, and an account of the hard usage Bishop
William received from Rufus; which was printed by subscription in 1732, 8vo.,
from a very valuable and beautiful MS. in the cathedral library, which he sup-
poses to be either the original, or copied in the author's lifetime. Being invited
to ofiiciate among the Non-jurors in Derbyshire he fixed his residence at Compton,
near Ashbourne, where he lived on terms of great intimacy with the Rev. Ellis
Farneworth. In or about 1742 he published an Historical Catechism, containing
in brief the sacred history, the doctrines of Christianity, and an explanation of
the Feasts and Fasts of the Church, the second edition revised and enlarged. The
first edition was taken from Abb6 Fleury ; but as this second varied so much from
that author, Mr Bedford left out his name. Having some original fortune, and
withal being a very frugal man, and making also the most of his money for a
length of years he died rich at Compton, in February 1773, and was buried at
APPENDIX. * 367
Ashbourne, Derbyshire (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, i, 169). Among the Rawlinson
papers in the Bodleian Library are some notes by himself of the consecration of
non-juring bishops and ordinations held by them. Amongst these is the following
entry: " Thomas Bedford was ordained deacon at * * *; priest on St John's day,
27 December 1731, by Mr Gandy, in his own chapel" {Notes and Queries, 3rd Ser.
iii, 244).
Hearne in his Diary of 31 December 1784 has the following notice of him:
" Mr Thomas Bedford, one of the sons of my friend the late Mr Hilkiah Bedford,
is now very inquisitive about the liturgies of St Basil, St Mark, St James, St Chry-
sostom, and other Greek liturgies, and hath wrote to me about them, to get
intelligence about MSS. thereof in Bodley, well knowing, he saith, that there is
nobody better acquainted with the MSS. there than myself. He wants the age of
them, and other particulars, and a person to be recommended to collate such MSS.
But having been debarr'd this library a great number of years, I am now a stranger
there, and cannot in the least assist him, tho' I once design'd to have been very
nice in examining all these liturgical MSS. and to have given notes of their age,
and particularly of Leofric's Latin Missal, which I had a design of printing, being
countenanc'd thereto by Dr Hickes, Mr Dodwell, &c....Some part of this MS. is
of later date than Leofric's time, and Mr Bedford therefore desires to have my
opinion of the antiquity of the canon of the Mass, which is one part of it. I
wish I could gratify Mr Bedford " (see Notes and Queries, 2nd Ser. ix, 105).
P. 41 no. 32. John Pern, the father, was a member of the College, see his
admission, Part i, P. 134 no. 9. John Pern, the younger, took the B.A. degree

11 November 1731. He was collated 11 December 1742 to the Prebend of Chute
with Chisenbury in Salisbury Cathedral. He was instituted Vicar of GilUngham,
Dorset, 20 September 1744, then ceding Knapwell. He held this with his Prebend
until his death. On the wall of the nave of Gillinghara church there is a tablet
with the inscription : In memory | of the reverend John Pern, A.M. | descended from
an ancient family | at West Wratting in the County of Cambridge | who was
27 years vicar of this place | and Prebendary of the prebend of Chidingbury and
Chute in the church of Salisbury. | He died much lamented | the 6th day of

Magdalen, daughter of Sir Henry Jones, knight, of Abermarles, and secondly
Beatrice, daughter of Sir John Barlow, baronet, of Slebetch, Pembrokeshire.
By the first wife he had no issue. Anthony Budd was the second son of the
second marriage; he died without issue (Burke, Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies,
454). Anthony Budd, the younger, was ordained Deacon 20 December 1730 by
the Bishop of Lincoln and licensed next day to the curacy of Willingham, co.

and was called to the Bar 14 May 1686, and became a Bencher of the Inn 24 October
1707. Like his father he was Recorder of Rochester, and was returned as M.P. for
that borough 24 November 1701, sitting until that Parliament was dissolved
11 November 1702. He died 11 June 1724, aged 62, and was buried in Rochester
Cathedral 17 June; there is a monument to his memory and the Cathedral burial
register describes him as : ' Vir magnus, ac probitate et eruditioue eximius.' He
was the father of the member of the College, who was his only son.
Francis Barrell of St John's seems to have resided in London. He married :

Cathedral 5 November 1734; secondly Frances, daughter of Thomas Bowdler, esq.,
she was buried in Rochester Cathedral 10 October 1736; he married thirdly Frances,

Westminster, 29 February 1772 (Foster, Alumni Oxoniemes; Hasted, History of
Kent, i, 546; ii, 696; Shindler, Registers of the Cathedral Church of Rochester, see
index under Barrell).
P. 41 no. 39. The name of this youth was originally entered in the Register as
'Thomas Ellis,' then a pen was drawn through Thomas and Gulielmus written
above. It seems however almost certain that his Christian name was Thomas. A
Thomas Ellis matriculated in the University, from St John's, 11 July 1724. The
College Register records the admission of no other Thomas Ellis to the College. He
proceeded to B.A. 1727 and M.A. 1733. Again, Thomas Ellis, B.A. of St John's
College, born in the County of York in 1705 (which corresponds with the age in
the College Register) was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of Ely 12 July 1728 and
was licensed to the curacy of Stuntney. He was ordained Priest at Ely 19 Sep-
tember 1729, with the title of a Minor Canon in Ely. Cole, in his MSS. (Vol. xxx,
Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5831, fol. 154a, 155a) gives the following letter from Bishop
Greene to Dean Moss of Ely (also printed in Nichols, Literary Illustrations,
iii, 563).
Ely House, Mar. 16, 1727.
Good Mr Dean,
I think myself much obliged to you and the chapter for your kind readiness
in despatching the confirmation of Dr Peck's and my servaut's patents.
APPENDIX. 369
One Mr Ellis, a Bachelor of Arts of St John's College, came hither on Thursday
last for Deacon's Orders, under a Pretence that he had a prospect of being chosen
a Minor Canon in your Church. What he alledged for himself might be true for
ought I know ; but not bringing with him an undoubted certificate thereof, as the
Canon requires, I did not think it proper to ordain him this Ordination, but shall be
ready at any time, that you and the Chapter shall be pleased to desire it, to give
him a private Ordination, after your choice of him to be one of your Minor Canons.
I am Revd. Sir, your much obliged friend and brother, Tho. Elien.
Thomas Ellis, as we see above, became a Minor Canon. He died in 1764. His
son, Thomas Robins Ellis, was B.A. of Queens' College in 1765 and a Fellow of that
Society.

Grammar School in 1734 {Gentleman's Magazine, 1734, September, p. 512). On
17 November 1735 he was nominated by the College to be Second Master of Shrews-
bury School, but after some hesitation decided to remain at Bishop's Stortford. He
was instituted Vicar of North Weald, Essex, 23 June 1748 on the presentation of
W. Plummer, esq. (Morant, History of Essex, Ongar Hundred, 152). He held his
Vicarage and perhaps his Mastership until his death. In the church at Bishop's
Stortford there is a tablet with the following inscription : ' ' Here lieth the body of
the Rev. John Mall, A.M., Vicar of Northweald in the County of Essex, and late
Master of this school. He departed this life the 18th day of January 1755, in the
46th year of his age."

In the College Library there is a manuscript Lexicon of the New Testament by
John Mall in three large folio volumes, with the following note on the fly-leaf of

P. 41 no. 42. John Taylor was admitted a Fellow of the College 25 March 1729
and his Fellowship was filled up again in March 1761. He was ordained Deacon
370 APPENDIX,
13 June 1731 and Priest 24 September 1732, by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was
appointed Steward of the College 20 February 1741 and held this office until 11
April 1750 when he was appointed Senior Bursar, his successor in this office being
appointed 3 March 1759. He was instituted Vicar of Littlebury, Essex, 30 April
1743 and held the living until 1759. The name is of course of frequent occurrence
but that he was Vicar of Littlebury seems clear from the following note of Cole's
(MSS. Cole, xxxii, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. fol. 214 a) on Newcourt's Repertorium,
when referring to the Vicars of Littlebury he says: "John Taylor A.M., Fellow of
St John's College, Cambridge, succeeded Mr Kilbourn [who was Vicar of Littlebury
1692-1743], and was Vicar in 1745. He is now S.T.P., March 22, 1762, and to
distinguish him from Dr John Taylor, now Archdeacon of Bucks, [see P. 27 no. 29]
and then of the same College, he was called from his height ' Long John Taylor '."
John Taylor, D.D., was presented by the College to the Rectory of Staplehurst,
Kent, 2 June 1759, and instituted 17 August following. The Parish Register of
Staplehurst contains the following entry: " 3 January 1785. The Rev. Dr Taylor,
Rector of Staplehurst, was buried in the Chancel on the North side. He died on
the 30th day of December 1784 exactly at eleven of the clock in the evening,
aged 77."
While on the North wall of the Chancel of Staplehurst Church is a tablet with
this inscription: In the Vault beneath are deposited | in hope of a joyful Resur-
rection, the remains of Margaret Williams | Niece of the Rev. Dr Taylor. She
died October 29, 1775, aged 35 | In the same pious confidence beside his niece
and friend | are deposited the remains of John Taylor D.D. | who was Rector of
this parish upwards of 25 years. | He died December 30, 1784 | aged 77.
P. 41 no. 43. The following short summary of John Green's life is given by
Michael Tyson, the younger (of Corpus Christi College, B.A. 1764), in a letter to
William Cole, dated from Lambourne Parsonage 27 May 1779 (MSS. Cole, xiv, Brit.
Mus. Addl. MSS. 5825, fol. 50 b): "John Green, late Bishop of Lincoln, was born
at Beverley in Yorkshire, and was admitted a sizar in St John's College, where, it
has been said, he was at first supported by contributions from several gentlemen,
more particularly Mr Pelham, Member for Beverley. In the year 1728 he took his
degree of B.A. with great credit, and being a very good classical scholar he soon
afterwards procured the place of Usher of Lichfield School. The celebrated Dr S.
Johnson was then master and David Garrick was one of his scholars. He continued
usher only one year and in 1730 [really 1731] he was elected Fellow of St John's,
and soon after the Bishop of Ely procured him the Vicarage of Hingeston [Hinxton,
CO. Cambridge] from Jesus College, which was tenable with a Fellowship at St John's,
but could not be held by any Fellow of Jesus. Soon after [in 1743], Dr Wickins,
who had been only three months chaplain to the Duke of Somerset, was presented
to the very valuable living of Petworth, by his Grace, and on his removal Mr Green
succeeded him as chaplain. There he continued three years. It was his Grace's
custom to bestow on his chaplains the first living that fell vacant, and they were
expected to take it whether its value were great or small. A living in Dorsetshire,
in the Duke's gift, of about £250 a year, became vacant, which if Mr Green had
accepted, he could then have been no longer Fellow of St John's and probably a
stop would have been put to his future preferment. But before he had accepted
the presentation the living of Burrough Green was offered him, and which was
tenable with his Fellowship. This he accepted. He then returned to College and
was appointed Bursar and from thence served his own church of Hingeston. By
the will of the donor, the presentation to the living of Barrow in Suffolk was to
be given to the senior in Divinity, Fellow of St John's. Dr Burton and Dr Ruther-
forth put in their respective claims, Burton was senior by admission, Rutherforth
by creation ; during the pending of the suit Mr Green was appointed Regius Pro-
fessor of Divinity and put in his claim of seniority in right of his Professorship
and was in consequence presented to the living of Barrow. In 1750 he was, by
the interest of Archbishop Herring, elected Master of Bene't, and about 1756 or
1757 was made Dean of Lincoln.
" By the interest of the Duke of Newcastle he was nominated as Clerk of the
Closet to the present Queen. At that time the see of London was vacant and the
Ministry were debating whether Thomas, Bishop of Lincoln, or Hayter, Bishop
of Norwich should be translated to it. Before any determination was made the
Archbishop of York died; in consequence of this Thomas was translated to Sarum
APPENDIX. 371
and Hayter to London ; and Lincoln becoming vacant was by the interest of the
Dake of Newcastle procured for Dr Green, who was then on his road to London
to accept of the place of Clerk of the Closet to the Queen."
John Green was admitted a Fellow of the College 6 April 1731, he became Senior
Fellow 19 February 174^ and his Fellowship was filled up 2 April 1750. He held
the following College offices: Junior Dean 8 February 173f to February 17|^ when
he became Senior Dean, holding the latter office till 10 February 174f . He was
Senior Bursar from 23 February 174^ to 11 April 1750. He was ordained Deacon
13 June 1731 and Priest 19 September 1731 by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was
instituted Vicar of Hinxton, co. Cambridge, 3 March 173J on the presentation of
Jesus College. It is not quite clear how long he held it. He was Vicar at a
visitation in 1745. In 1751 Warburton is succeeded as sequestrator by Milner.
Green probably ceded Hinxton on getting Burrough Green. Cole states that
Green was also Vicar of Ickleton, co. Cambridge, succeeding Thomas Sayes in
1743, but this is a mistake. Zachary Brooke was instituted Vicar of Ickleton
8 April 1744 on the death of Thomas Sayes, and Brooke held the living until
1788. Green was instituted Rector of Burrough Green, co. Cambridge, 12 Feb-
ruary 174f on the presentation of the Duke of Somerset. He was presented by
St John's College to the Rectory of Barrow, Suffolk, 25 July 1750, and instituted
8 August. On 3 August 1750 he obtained a dispensation from the Archbishop of
Canterbury to hold Burrough Green (valued at £100) with Barrow (valued at £170),
the two benefices being stated to be twelve miles apart. He obtained the living of
Barrow under somewhat peculiar circumstances. The living became vacant by
the death of Philip Williams on 23 May 1749. Under the will of the donor the
College had to present that Fellow who was senior divine. They first presented
Michael Burton (P. 16 no. 42), D.D. 1747, who was senior on the list of Fellows.
The living was claimed by Thomas Rutherforth (P. 48 no. 19), D.D. 1745. On an
appeal the Bishop of Ely decided in favour of Rutherforth who was senior in stand-
ing as a D.D., and Rutherforth was then presented by the College 26 October 1749.
But Green, who was now Regius Professor of Divinity, claimed the living on the
ground that his Professorship made him the senior of the faculty, and appealed
to the Court of Chancery. The Court decided that the ruling of the Visitor was
null and void and set it aside, and Rutherforth withdrawing his claim Green was
presented. As a matter of fact when his presentation was sealed he had ceased to
be a Fellow of the College, but presumably his right was held to have vested on
his election to the Professorship in 1749. To return to his ecclesiastical prefer-
ments he was collated to the Prebend of Thorngate in Lincoln Cathedral 28 October
1756 and installed 2 November. He was nominated Dean of Lincoln 2 September
1756, elected 16 October and installed 2 November. He vacated his prebend and
rectories on becoming Bishop of Lincoln. To this he was elected 9 December,
his election was confirmed at the church of St Mary le Bow, London, 24 December,
and he was consecrated at Lambeth 28 December 1761 (Hardy's Le Neve, ii, 224,
36, 28). On the ground that his Bishopric was but poorly endowed he was collated
to the Prebend of Wildland in St Paul's Cathedral 31 December 1771 (Hennessey,
Novum Repertorium, 55, xlix). At Cambridge he became Regius Professor of
Divinity in 1749, holding the office till 1756. On the death of Edmund Castle,
Master of Corpus Christi College, the Fellows were unable to agree on the choice
of his successor. The advice of Dr Herring, Archbishop of Canterbury, was asked
and he recommended Green. The Archbishop's letter will be found printed in
Nichols, Literary Illustrations, vi, 794. Green was admitted Master 18 June 1750.
College feeling had run somewhat high over the election, and the Fellows who
adopted Herring's advice were nicknamed ' Cappadocians,' as having sacrificed
their liberty (Nichols, I.e.; Stokes, History of Corpus Christi College, 130). Green
remained Master of Corpus until 1764. He served the office of Vice-Chancellor
1757-8. He does not seem to have been a very popular Master. His nickname
was 'Gamwell' and he was accused of 'Yorkshire tricks' at the election of Fellows.
Michael Tyson the younger collected particulars of Green's life from his father,
who had known Green for fifty years, and sent the account to Cole (Nichols,
Literary Anecdotes, viii, 643; Literary Illustrations, vi, 796). Cole heartily dis-
liked Green and has left a long and very unfavourable account of him (M8S. Cole,
xlix, p. 313, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5850; this account will be found summarised
in Baker-Mayor, History of St John's College, ii, 710-1, and printed at full length
in The Eagle, xxiii, 248-252). Cole states that Green's dialect was of the "broadest
372 APPENDIX.
and coarsest sort" and attributes to him a variety of Bhortcomings, of undue
humility in early life and of hauteur in later years. Green's liberal opinions
also gave offence to Cole.
Green took an active part in the disputes which raged in the University round
certain orders for the discipline of the undergraduates passed in the year 1750.
Cole ascribes to Green the authorship of The Academic, a pamphlet on these regula-
tions. But it seems probable that this was compiled by a number of persons, and
that Green replied to it in Considerations on the Expediency of making and the
manner of conducting the late Regulations at Cambridge (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes,
ix, 668; Cooper, Annals of Cambridge, iv, 280). He is supposed to have been the
' Mr Seagreen ' referred to in The Key to the Fragment, one of the numerous pamphlets
arising out of the controversy.
Bishop Newton (Life, ed. 1816, p. 37) says that Green filled the See of Lincoln
"with more ability and dignity than any of his predecessors." He also says of
him: "Bishop Green was a very good scholar, and had an elegant pen in Latin and
English, but he was too lazy and indolent to write much; he published only a few
occasional sermons, and two letters to the Bev. Mr Berridge and Mr Whitfield
against the Methodists. His charges to his clergy were much commended, and it is
to be lamented that he did not prepare and order these and some other pieces for
publication. He was always a prudent manager and economist, or he could not
have made the provision that he did for two nephews and four nieces, with some
bequests to charitable uses."
In public life Bishop Green held liberal views. In 1772 Green alone, of the
Bench of Bishops, voted in favour of the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts,
He died suddenly at Bath 25 April 1779. He was buried at Buckden, co. Hunt-
ingdon, where his episcopal palace was. In the chancel of Buckden Church there
is a tablet to his memory with the following inscription: "M.S. | Johannis Green,
S.T.P. I qui in Comitatu Eboracensi apud Beverley natus | literisque humanioribus
primo imbutus | deinde summam velut arcem Theologiae | professoris adeptus

ecclesiae episcopus Lincolniensis | omni cum laude feliciter administravit | obiit
vii kal Maii anno aetatis lxxii | Salutis mdcclxxix."
By his will he was a considerable benefactor to Corpus Christi College, and left
some books to the Library of St John's College.
Of published work he left but little. He published two pamphlets, The Principles
and Practices of the Methodists considered. He was a writer in the Athenian Letters,
and some of the Dialogues of tlie Dead, published by William Weston, Rector of
Campden, are by Green. He also published nine sermons at intervals between
1752 and 1773.

P. 42 no. 60. James Tunstall was ordained Deacon 21 December 1729 and
Priest 5 March 173^ by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was one of the principal Tutors
of the College and Senior Dean from 8 February 173f to February 17ff , and again
from 10 February 174^ to 10 February 174^. He was presented by the Duke of
Rutland to the Rectory of Sturmer, Essex, and was instituted there 4 December 1739.
He is said previously to have declined the Rectory of Saltwood. On 19 October
1741 he was elected Public Orator of the University, the other candidate being
Philip Yonge, Fellow of Trinity College. The votes were: Tunstall 160, Yonge 137.
He was allowed to hold the office, though absent from the University as chaplain
to Archbishop Potter, till 1746 when he resigned the Oratorship and the Rectory of
Sturmer. Archbishop Potter then collated him to the Vicarage of Minster in the
Isle of Thanet 10 February 174f and to the Rectory of Great Chart 13 February
174f . He was also admitted Treasurer of the Cathedral of St David's with the
Prebend of Llandissilio annexed 21 May 1746 (Hardy's Le Neve, i, 318). Each of
his Kent livings was said to be worth £200 a year with good houses at both, but the

roads round Chart, where he resided, were so deep with dirt that though near
Ashford, and in a good neighbourhood, his friends could seldom get near him. He
married about 1747 Elizabeth, daughter of John Dodsworth, of Thornton Watlass,
Yorks. , esq., and of Henrietta his wife, daughter of John Hutton, esq., and sister
of Archbishop Hutton. In 1757 he was presented by Archbishop Hutton to the
Vicarage of Rochdale and instituted 12 November 1757, resigning his benefices in
Kent but retaining his preferment at St David's. It is said that he was disappointed
and wished for a prebend of Canterbury. He died in London after a brief illness
28 March 1762 and was buried in the chancel of the Church of St Peter, Comhill,
2 April 1762 (Notes and Queries, 8, Ser. xi, 85, 131). His wife died 5 December
1772, aged 49, and was buried at Hadleigh, Essex, in the church of which place
there is a monument to her memory (Cooper's Annals, iv, 244 ; Croston's edition of
Baines' History of Lancashire, iii, 131; Fishwick, History of Rochdale, 237). He
"was a person highly esteemed, not only for his good learning, but for the sweetness
of his disposition. As a Pupil Monger, no one took more pains for the improve-
ment of such as were placed under his care ; and his success was answerable to his
warmest wishes. As Senior Dean of the College, the mildness of his reproofs,
wrought more upon the tempers of several persons of ingenuous minds, than the
sharpest censures, or the severest discipline would have been able to effect"
(Masters's Life of Thomas Baker, 114). It was said of him for some time after he
had left Lambeth that many a man came there as chaplain, humble, but none ever
went thence so except Dr Tunstall.
Tunstall was a voluminous author. In 1741 he published Epistola ad virum
eruditum Conyers Middleton, Vitae M.T. Ciceronis Scriptorem; in qua, ex locis ejus
operis quamplurimis recensionem Ciceronis Epistolarum ad Atticum et Quintum
Fratrem desiderari ostenditur, (6c., Cantabrigiae 1741. And in 1744, Observations
on the present Collection of Epistles between Cicero and M. Brutus, representing
several Marks of Forgery in those Epistles; and the true State of many important
Particulars in the Life and Writings of Cicero; in answer to the late Pretences of the
Rev. Dr Conyers Middleton, 8vo. ; A Sermon before the House of Commons 29 May
1746 ; A vindication of the Power of the State to prohibit Clandestine Marriages
under the Pain of Absolute Nullity; particularly the Marriages of Minors, made
without the consent of their Parents and Guardians, &c., 1755, 8vo.; Marriage in
Society stated; loith some considerations on Government, the different kinds of Civil
Laws, and their distinct obligations in Conscience, &c., 1755, 8vo. ; Academica: Part
the First, containing several Discourses on the Certainty, Distinction and Connection
of Natural and Revealed Religion, 1759, 8vo. The Second Part of this, Lectures on
Natural and Revealed Religion, read in the Chapel of St John's, Cambridge, 1764,
was published after his death (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, ii, 166, 428, see also vii,
429 (index); Whitaker's Whalley, ii, 428,480; Pegge's ^nonj/miawa, iv, 98; Sutton,
Lancashire Authors, 129. His library was sold by Whiston in 1764, Nichols,
Literary Anecdotes, iii, 668).
The inscription in the church at Hadleigh to the memory of Mrs Tunstall is as
follows: "To the memory of | Mrs Elizabeth Tunstall | daughter of John Dods-
worth, Esq. I of Yorkshire | and relict of the learned | and truly pious | James
Tunstall, D.D. | and Vicar of Rochdale | in Lancashire. | She died on the fifth day
of December 1772 | in the forty-ninth year of her age | leaving six daughters to
mourn | the loss of a most tender and affectionate parent : | her acquaintances in
general that of a most sincere friend | and an agreeable companion : { And the poor
that of a constant | and as far as her circumstances would allow | a generous
benefactor. Dorothy, one of the above | six daughters | aged 16 | Died April Srd
1773 1 and was buried in the same grave" (Davy, Suffolk Collections, Brit. Mus. Addl.
MSS., 19,088, parish of Hadleigh). Cole, in his collections for an Athenae Canta-
brigienses (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS., 5882), has the following with regard to Tunstall:
"Dr Tunstall was a very pale, tall, thin man and preferred by Archbishop Potter in
Canterbury Diocese. When he stood candidate for the Oratorship he applied to my
uncle Cock, a merchant in Cambridge, to whom I promised my vote, and on
Mr Young of Trinity, now Bishop of Norwich, his applying to me on the same
occasion I told him my engagements and withall that I was sorry it was so, as I had
no sort of acquaintance with Mr Tunstall, but as I had promised I did not chuse
to be worse than my word. Notwithstanding this Mr Young applied both to
Mr Bromley, afterwards Lord Montfort, to whom he knew I was under old obliga-
tions, and to Mr Tom Shepherde, the Members for the Coonty, to sollicite me. To

whom, when I told them my situation they said no more. However I know well
the Bishop has never forgiven me to this day. I write this July 10, 1771."

Derby, 5 September 1733, holding the living until his death in 1763. There is
a monument to his memory in Barlborough Church (Glover, History of Derbyshire,

Norwich. He was instituted Rector of Rattlesden 24 May 1731, holding the living
until 1747. He was instituted Rector of Tostock 20 October 1736, ceding this on
his institution to the Rectory of Drinkstone 8 April 1741, all these being in Suffolk.
He held Drinkstone until 1747.

until his death in 1773 {Gentleman's Magazine, 1773, p. 622a). He was also insti-
tuted Rector of Lawton, co. Chester, 19 November 1743, but resigned this very soon
as his successor was instituted 22 May 1744 (Ormerod, History of Cheshire, ed.
Helsby, iii, 19, where the name is misprinted 'Hudd').

and held the living until 1761.
P. 43 no. 3. John Hulse took the B.A. degree in 1728, but did not proceed to
the M.A. He was ordained Deacon 27 January 173^ by the Bishop of Chester,
and Priest 24 September 1732 by the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry. He was
at first a curate at Yoxall; he was licensed perpetual curate of Witton in the
parish of Great Budworth, on the nomination of Jane Vawdrey, widow of Thomas
Vawdrey, 11 January 17^5, and was afterwards licensed to the Chapelry of Goostry
under Sandbach near Hermitage, which he served until 1753, when on the death of
his father he succeeded to the family estates and relinquished all clerical duties.
He married in the year 1733 Mary Hall, of Hermitage, near Holmes Chapel. They
had one son Edward, who died young and unmarried. John Hulse died 14 December
1790, aged 82. John Hulse is chiefly notable for his benefactions to the University
of Cambridge, and for the elaborate scheme he prepared for the execution of his
wishes. The best account of Hulse's life is to be found in the introduction to the
Hulsean Lectures of the Rev. Richard Parkinson, B.D. (Rationalism and Revelation,
London, 1838). In the preparation of this memoir Canon Parkinson had the
advantage of seeing the notes collected by Dr James Wood, Master of St John's
"the sole repository of many facts which tradition has treasured up respecting
his (i.e. Hulse's) habits and character." From this source most of what follows
is derived. John Hulse was the descendant of a respectable, though not what is
technically called a county family, in Cheshire. His grandfather, Thomas Hulse,
was the son of Thomas Hulse of Clive, and Catharine, daughter of Thomas Malbon,
a native of Nantwich. He married Mary Raven, ultimately heiress of Elworth
Hall, which descended to his son Thomas Hulse. The latter Thomas Hulse
married Anne Webb, a daughter of Thomas Webb of Middlewich, merchant.
Their marriage settlement, dated 28 November 1705, is now in the possession of
the University. John Hulse, born at Middlewich, 15 March 170f, was their first
child, the eldest of nineteen children. None left any issue surviving. John
APPENDIX. 375
Hulse's youth seems to have been singularly unhappy. He was early removed
from his father's house and put out to nurse with a cottager on the estate. The
account of this part of his life, given by his faithful servant John Plant to
Dr Wood was as follows. 'The grandfather, being desirous of seeing his grand-
son, proceeded up a dirty green lane, when he observed a girl with a child under
one arm, and a pitcher of water in the other hand. He soon heard the old cot-
tager's wife rebuking the girl for not making haste with the water; and adding,
that if she could not bring both the child and the water, she must drop the child
in the lane — which was accordingly done." From that hour the grandfather took
John Hulse to his own home and superintended his education. He was for some
time at the Grammar School at Congleton, near Elworth Hall. The grandfather
brought him up to St John's, both being on horseback, and entered him at College.
While he was at College his grandfather died. The father, owing to the wants of
his large family, was pressed for money, and sent for his son for the purpose of
obtaining his assent to the sale of part of the entailed property. To this John Hulse
consented, but declined a second and similar request. His refusal led, it is stated,
to personal ill-treatment, and from that time he never returned to his father's
house. He seems to have completed his College career with the aid of Exhibitions
granted by the College, which accounts for the warm feeling he always felt towards
his College and for his liberality to it at his death. On his father's death he
took possession of his paternal estate of Elworth and there lived for the rest
of his days. He seems to have suffered from permanent ill-health and to have
held little or no communication with his brothers and sisters. His chief occupation
in the later years of his life seems to have been the composition of his will, a
document of extraordinary length, the copy in the possession of the Vice-Chan-
cellor consists of a folio volume of nearly 400 pages of closely written manuscript.
It is dated 21 July 1777. To it are appended nine codicils, almost one for each
remaining year of his life; the last being dated 2.S November 1789. The will,
as printed in The Endowments of the University of Cambridge, occupies 44 octavo
pages, and the codicils, so far as they affect the University, another seven. After
many specific legacies, and after making provision for his surviving brothers and
sisters, who are enumerated by name, and for his two favourite servants Thomas
and Elizabeth Plant, he left all his property to the University of Cambridge. Out
of the income two Divinity Scholarships, of £30 a year each, were to be founded
at St John's College. The net income of the trust was then to support the chief
objects of the will, The Hulsean Prize, the Christian Advocate and the Hulsean
Lecturer or Christian Preacher. The Hulsean Prize was to be given annually to
the writer of the best dissertation upon some subject connected with the direct
or collateral evidences of the Christian Revelation. The subject to be chosen by
the Vice- Chancellor with the Masters of Trinity and St John's. The prize was to
be open to members of the University under the standing of Master of Arts. The
Christian Advocate, to be chosen by the same persons, and to be of the degree of
Master of Arts at least, of the age of 30 years and resident, was to compose an
answer against " all new and popular, or other cavils and objections against the
Christian or revealed religion... as may in the opinion of the trustees... seem best
or most proper to deserve an answer." The Lecturer, to be a Master of Arts and
under the age of 40 years, was to preach 20 sermons in the year, ten in the spring
and ten in the autumn, in Great St Mary's Church. Five sermons in each period
were to " shew the evidence for revealed religion, and to demonstrate in the most
convincing and persuasive manner the truth and excellence of Christianity," the
remaining five sermons in each period were to be on diflScuIt texts and obscure
parts of Holy Scripture. The duties of the Lecturer were found to be too onerous.
From the year 1798 until 1819 no one could be found to undertake the office. In
1819 the Rev, Christopher Benson was appointed Lecturer, but resigned in 1822,
finding the terms imposed by the testator too laborious. The same result followed
on other appointments and the University applied in 1830 to the Court of Chancery
for a modification of the trust. The Court then decreed that the number of
sermons should be reduced to eight. The trust has since been further changed
by successive University Commissions, and there is now a Hulsean Professor of
Divinity in lieu of the Christian Advocate, and the duties of the Hulsean Lecturer
have also been modified ; the Hulsean Prize still remains. The Divinity Scholar-
ships at St John's have also been modified, and the endowment used towards
maintaining the Foundation Scholarships in the College established by the Uni-
versity Commissioners in 1859-60.
376 APPENDIX.
The Hulse documents preserved at the University Registry contain but little
personal information with regard to John Hulse or his family. A copy of a letter
from his youngest and last surviving brother Eandle Hulse, addressed to Richard
Darlington of Sandbach, has been preserved. It is dated 30 April 1792 and written
from ' Garrison Forest, Baltimore County, Maryland.' He was apparently a phy-
sician. The following passage is of some interest: "During the late unhappy
contest I gave a manifest proof of my attachment to the parent country, by
refusing to accept of the post of Physician General to the Army, of which there
were only three in that department, tho' pressed to accept of it in the most urgent
manner by some leading members of Congress." It appears from a letter to the
Vice-Chancellor, from the executors, dated 13 June 1798, that Mrs Welsh, the last
surviving sister of the testator, died 2 February 1798, and that Randle Hulse then
became entitled to a life-interest in the testator's estate.
Thomas Hunter, one of the executors, writing from Broxton Hall, near Chester,
5 December 1798, hinted very plainly that an University Degree would be acceptable
to himself and the Rev. John Kent, another executor. This letter contains the
following passage: "My Reverend friend (i.e. John Hulse) was master of much
plausibility of representation, and really possessed a manner peculiarly insinuating
and persuasive ; he endeavoured by a multiplicity of allurements to bring me over
to his purpose, and amongst other inducements held out the firm confidence which
he felt, that the University would honour his clerical executors by some token of
Academic distinction." The suggestion did not meet with a favourable reply, for
on 6 April 1799, Hunter writes; "I am more disappointed than chagrined by your
letter. I am too old, and I hope too philosophic to regret the refusal of a feather."
Some steps were afterwards taken to apply to the King for a Mandate to confer
the degree of B.D. on John Kent and Thomas Hunter, but were either dropped
or unfavourably received. In the College Library there still hangs in a frame a
parchment sheet bequeathed by Hulse, with his family arms emblazoned in colours
and underneath is written: " The Arms of the Antient Family of HuUse, quarter'd
with Clarell beareth Argent a pyle in cheife between 2 pyles in base; the second,
Gules, three Martells Argent, and for the Crest, A Buck's Head proper with a sun
between the Homes Or, Mantled Gules, Doubled Argent, as above depicted." A
shield with more elaborate quarterings will be found described in Ormerod, History
of Cheshire (ed. Helsby), iii, 103, where there is a pedigree.
John Hulse was clearly a good, pious, and well-intentioned man. There are
many indications in his will that he was more anxious to be of service to the
Christian faith than to found a memorial to himself. The limitations to which
he subjected those who were to be chosen to his Scholarships were those of locality,
with a preference for the sons of the poorer clergy. He directed that a short notice
of his benefaction to the University should appear in the London papers " to the
intent that in an age so abandoned to vice and devoted to shameful infidelity and
luxury it may prove a means through the Divine grace to induce others to the like
seasonable benefactions." And the will also contains the following clause : "And
as to my sermons that are in manuscript, they were chiefly intended for a plain
congregation in the country and a small curacy which I held there, in which it
was my lot to preach and spend many years of my life, which as I think no
man did ever envy, so I bless God that no man could ever reproach ; it is therefore
my desire and will that none of them shall be at all copied by any person, or lent
to any one whatsoever, but that the same shall be wholly committed to the flames
within one month after my decease." The closing words of a memorandum he
wrote with his own hand in a small MS. volume of prayers of his own composition
indicating a wish that it should go to Thomas Plant and his wife " as a memorial
of one that meant well " probably sum up his desires. This volume was given to
Dr James Wood by the Plants but was probably destroyed. At least it is not in
the College Library with the rest of Dr Wood's collection.

curate of Foxholes with a stipend of £30 a year, he was ordained Priest 16 August

24 October 1752, and held the living until 1777.
P. 43 no. 9. Materials for a life of William Heberden are abundant. His earliest
known ancestor is his great-grandfather, Edward Heberden, of Idsworth Park, near
Petersfield, which place is stated to have belonged to the family since the days of
Queen Elizabeth. His grandfather, Thomas Heberden, was of Chichester, and his
father, Richard Heberden, of the parish of St Saviour's, Southwark, married
Elizabeth Cooper. William Heberden was admitted to St Saviour's School 17 June
1717. He took the degrees of B.A. 1728, M.A. 1732 and M.D. 1739. He was
admitted a Fellow of the College 6 April 1731, and was admitted medical Fellow
5 July 1734 (this enabled him to hold his fellowship without taking Orders), he was
admitted a Senior Fellow 3 July 1749 and his fellowship was filled up in March 1752.
He resided in Cambridge until 1748 or 1749, practising as a physician. He read an
annual course of lectures on Materia Medica ; these have never been published, but
extracts from them have been given by Dr Pettigrew in his Memoir of Dr Heberden.
The collection he had formed to illustrate his lectures he presented to the College,
and in the year 1767 he presented to the College a valuable set of astronomical
instruments for the College Observatory. He was one of a set of friends and con-
temporaries at Cambridge who were the joint authors of The Athenian Letters to
which he contributed an article, Oleander to Alexias, On the state of physic in Greece^
including a sketch of the character of Hippocrates and his works. He was admitted
a Candidate of the College of Physicians 25 June 1745 ; Fellow 25 June 1746. After
settling in London he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society 1 February 1749.
He was Gulstonian lecturer in 1749 ; Harveian Orator in 1750, and Croonian
lecturer in 1760. He was Censor of the College of Physicians in 1749, 1755, 1760;
Consiliarius in 1762, and was constituted an Elect of that College 11 August 1762,
resigning this 28 June 1781. Dr Heberden was twice married; he married first
1 June 1752 Elizabeth, daughter of John Martin of Overbury, in Worcestershire,
M.P. for Tewkesbury (Gentlemari's Magazine, 1752, p. 288), she died in 1754. He
married secondly 8 January 1760, Mary, eldest daughter of Francis Wollaston,F.R.S.,
of Charterhouse Square {ibid. 1760, p. 46a). He left issue by both marriages,
several of his sons were members of the College. In the year 1782 he began to
retire from the more active practice of his profession. He was one of the physicians
in attendance on Dr Samuel Johnson in his last illness in 1783-4. Boswell relates
that when Johnson was asked what physician he had sent for, he replied: "Dr
Heberden, ultimus Romanonim, the last of our learned physicians." In his latter
years he passed the summer at a house he had purchased at Windsor, but continued
his practice in London during the winter for a few years. He died at his house in
Pall Mall 17 May 1801, and was buried at Windsor, on the south side of the parish
church there. There is a monument to his memory with the following inscription:
"Near this place are deposited the remains of | William Heberden M.D., | who died
the 17th May 1801, | in the 91st year of his age. | He practised physic, | first at
Cambridge, afterwards in London, { with great and unsullied reputation above 50
years. | His distinguished learning, | his sweetness of manners, and active bene-
volence I raised him to an uncommon height in public esteem : { above all, his
deep sense of religion, | which he cultivated with unremitting attention, | regulated
his conduct through a long and busy life, { and supported him to the last | with
unabated cheerfulness and resignation. | His widow and three surviving children
erected this tablet to his memory." His town residence in Pall Mall (formerly the
freehold of the famous Nell Gwynne) was the spot where Dr Sydenham resided
(Gentleman'' s Magazine, 1799, p. 450a). Dr Macmichael, in The Gold-headed Cane,
draws the following sketch of him: "Dr Heberden was always exceedingly liberal
and charitable ; therefore, as soon as he found he could support himself in London
he voluntarily relinquished a fellowship which he held in St John's College, for the
benefit of some poorer scholar to whom it might be of use. He was forward in
encouraging all objects of science and literature, and promoting all useful institu-
tions. There was scarcely a public charity to which he did not subscribe or any
work of merit to which he did not give his support. He recommended to the
College of Physicians the first design of their Medical Transactions, was the author
of several papers in them, also of some^n the Philosophical Transactions. He was
much esteemed by his majesty. King George the Third, and upon the Queen's first
coming to England in 1761, had been named as physician to her majesty— an
S. 25

honour which he thought fit to decline ; the real reason of which was that he was
apprehensive it might interfere with those connections of life that he had now
formed. In 1796 he met with an accident which disabled him for the last few years
of his life ; till then he had always been in the habit of walking, if he could, some
part of the day. It deserves to be mentioned that when he was fast approaching to
the age of ninety he observed that, though his occupations and pleasures were
certainly changed from what they used to be, yet he knew not if he had ever passed
a year more comfortably than the last. He lived to his ninety-first year, and there
can hardly be a more striking memorial of the perfect condition of his mind to the
very last, than that within forty-eight hours of his decease he repeated a sentence
from an ancient Roman author, signifying that ' death is kinder to none than those
to whom it comes uninvoked.'
"His address was pleasing and unaffected, his observations cautious and profound,
and he had a happy manner of getting alile men to exhibit their several talents,
which he directed and moderated with singular attention and good humour. But
though rendered eminent by his skill as a physician, he conferred a more valuable
and permanent lustre on his profession by the worth and excellence of his private
character. From his early youth Dr William Heberden had entertained a deep
sense of religion, a consummate love of virtue, an ardent thirst for knowledge, and
an earnest desire to promote the welfare and happiness of mankind. By these
qualities, accompanied with great sweetness of manners, he acquired the love and
esteem of all good men, in a degree which perhaps very few have experienced ; and
after pursuing an active life with the uniform testimony of a good conscience, he
became a distinguished example of its influence in the cheerfulness and serenity of
his latest age. In proof of these assertions, I will mention an anecdote of him,
which though now perhaps almost forgotten, somehow or other transpired at the
time, and was duly appreciated by his contemporaries. After the death of
Dr Conyers Middleton, his widow called upon Dr Heberden *vith a MS. treatise of
her late husband, about the publication of which she was desirous of consulting
him. The religion of Dr Middleton had always been justly suspected, and it was
quite certain that his philosophy had never taught him candour. Dr Heberden
after perusing the MS. which was on the inefficacy of prayer, told the lady that
though the work might be deemed worthy of the learning of her departed husband,
its tendency was by no means creditable to his principles, and would be injurious to
his memory; but as the matter pressed, he would ascertain what a publisher might
be disposed to give for the copyright. This he accordingly did; and having found
that £150 might be procured, he himself paid the widow £200, and consigned the
MS. to the flames."
Cole in his collections for an Athenae Cantabrigienses (Brit, Mus. Addl. MSS. ,
5871) has the following on William Heberden: "This gentleman practised with so
great success his profession at Cambridge, that for many years before he left the
place, which he did with regret as he told me often both before and since, he was
invited by men of the greatest name of his profession in London to come there, as
Dr Wilmot, Hurd, etc. He left Cambridge in 1749 and lived in Cecil Street. He
read for many years a course of lectures on Materia Medica and collected for that
purpose a choice collection of specimens which he presented in 1790 to St John's
College. He was for two or three seasons at Scarborow as a physitian and met
there with abundant success. A man of great and universal knowledge in books
and men and of a sweet and winning aspect and behaviour, most tepiperate in his
way of life, which, as a philosopher, he carries perhaps into excess. He has printed
several small treatises in his way but never published them.... In my interleaved
Carter's Cambridge at p. 260, I have long ago entered this note — William Heberden,
M.D., my most worthy friend, long practised with the greatest success at Cam-
bridge where he also read annually lectures on the Materia Medica at the Anatomy
Scholes opposite Queens' College Chapel and almost contiguous to the S.W. corner
of Catharine's Hall, one course of which I attended. It was no small piece of good
fortune to the Physic Professor, Dr Eussell Plumptre, who was neither liked nor had
such practice, that Dr Heberden's great character called him to London, where he
had the greatest success and practice. He and I constantly almost spent our
evenings at poor Dr Middleton's, where, if ever we staid to supper, was never
anything besides a tart and bread and cheese, both Dr Heberden and Dr Middleton
being persons of the greatest abstemiousness I ever met with, rarely drinking more
than one glass of wine. After Dr Heberden settled in London he married a daughter
APPENDIX. 379
of Mr Martin, of Worcestershire, brother to Mr Martin, of Quy in Cambridgeshire,
and I have dined with him several times while I was Rector of Hornsey, near
London, during my residence there, in Cecil Street. After her death he married
a daughter of Francis WoUaston, esq., of Charterhouse Square, in January 1760.
Dr Heberden before he left Cambridge was very desirous of marrying a daughter of
Dr Clark, Dean of Salisbury, who lived in a house opposite St Clement's Church ;
but she did not accord and married a physician of Salisbury, Dr Jacob, formerly
Fellow of King's College, a younger man and better person ; although Dr Heberden,
a tall, thin, spare man, was perfectly well made, and of a florid, good countenance, '
short-sighted. I thought it remarkable that he should ever establish himself in
London, because whenever he had occasion to go thither from Cambridge, as he had
frequent calls of that sort, I have heard him say often and often that the air was so
dissimilar to his constitution and lungs that he could never sleep there, but always
lodged at some miles distant. Great genii deal often in paradoxes. He soon
reconciled him to an air that so amply filled his pockets. He has a son now at
St John's, March 9, 1773. He has issue by his second lady, who I am told is
learned. "
" Dr Heberden, a great and zealous favourer of the petitioners against the Liturgy
and Articles of the Church of England. Takes no fees of the clergy, but has lost
himself much in point of character lately in interesting himself so warmly and
pertinaciously with the petitioners and factious clergy and laity (vide Gentleman's
Magazine, 1778, p. 308, 310)." Cole repeats this account in very nearly the same
words in Vol. xxiv of his Collections (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5825, fol. 76 et seq.).
He states of Heberden, "He was the thinnest person I ever saw, very tall, a most
clear and healthy countenance.... The doctor is a great Whig and Wilkite, and
advocate for the petitioning clergy, unbecoming a man of moderation."
Mr A. C. BuUer (of Trinity College) pubhshed in 1879 an account of The Life
and Writings of Heberden in which will be found a full account of Heberden's
professional writings, and of his medical skill and practice. Many references to
Heberden occur in Nichols, Literary Anecdotes. See Index in Vol. vii. See also
Dictionary of National Biography.

Samuel Ball was ordained Deacon 24 May and Priest 20 December 1730 by the
Bishop of Lincoln. He succeeded to the family living of Elton, Hunts., being
instituted 22 April 1731 on the presentation of Anne Ball, widow, holding it until
his death. He is probably the Samuel Ball who was instituted Eector of Water
Newton, Hunts., 7 November 1735, this living being also vacant in 1738. On a flat
stone within the altar rails of Elton Church is the following inscription to the
memory of himself, his wife, and sister: "In memory of | The Rev. Samuel Ball,

M.D. 1753. He was admitted a Fellow of the College 17 March 17^. became
medical Fellow 7 July 1732 and his Fellowship was filled up in March 1735. He
seems to have practised as a physician at Foston near York. In the year 1767 he
gave £50 to the funds of Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, and died 24 November
in that year (Cambridge Chronicle, 14 and 28 November 1767).
P. 44 no. 12. Richard Davenport, gentleman, son and heir of George Davenport,
of Calveley, Cheshire, esquire, was admitted a student of the Inner Temple 16
August 1725.
George Davenport (the father), of Calveley, was baptized 15 August 1682, and
was High Sheriff of Cheshire in 1722. He married Bridget, daughter of Edward
Mainwaring, of Whitmore, Salop, esq. Richard Davenport, their son, of Davenport
and Calveley, died in London and was buried at Bunbury, 19 May 1771. He married
Phoebe, daughter of Joseph Bagnal, of Eoehampton. They had no male issue
(Ormerod, History of Cheshire, ii, 286, where there is a pedigree).
William Cole has the following notes: "My friend Mr Allen of Tarporley in
Cheshire, having been on a visit for a fortnight to Mr Robinson of Cransley in
25—2
380 APPENDIX.
Northamptonshire, came to me on Wednesday, 24 September 1766, and stayed a
week with me. While he was with me he told me several particulars of the great
and wonderful Mr Rousseau, which he had from Richard Davenport of Davenport
and Calveley, esq., a most intimate friend of Mr Allen, as well as of Mr Hume and
Mr Rousseau, who lives in a house at Wotton-under-edge in Staiiordshire, belonging
to Mr Davenport. Before I saw Mr Allen I did not know where the Wotton was
that he dated his letters from. So that the proverb relating to the parish, where
this singularity has chosen his retreat, of ' Where God comes never,' was never
more literally verified than in its present state. Mr Davenport was educated at
St John's College in Cambridge, was always deistically disposed, and so it is no
wonder he has harboured an apostle of his own way of thinking. He has one
leg much shorter than the other, and has a very high heel to his shoe. I have
formerly, some ten years ago, met him at Mr Allen's house in Cheshire, when I
thought him an agreeable, cheerful man. He has a very large estate and has
lately made him a purchase of the original family estate at Davenport in Cheshire,
or Staffordshire. He married a lady of the name of Bagshaw, daughter of a great
dealer in London, with whom he had a very large fortune and has several children
by her, who are educated under a Madame de Lausanne, a French governess who
comes from the town of that name. One of his daughters, of about eight years of
age, keeps a regular correspondence with Mr Rousseau, so that no doubt she will
be as accomplished as the author of Aeviilius can make her."
In the Cambridge Chronicle of Saturday 23 May 1767 is this Article : " Last
Friday sen'night the well-known Mr Rousseau thought fit in a very abrupt manner
to leave his retreat at Mr Davenport's at Wootten in Derbyshire, leaving a letter
behind him in which he abuses his protector and patron, who had entertained him
with the utmost humanity, generosity, and delicacy, and with an hospitality truly
British. One would imagine from this last instance of this gentleman's conduct,
as well as from the most unworthy return he made to the ingenious Mr Hume for
conducting him into this Land of Liberty, whither he passionately desired to come,
and from many other benevolent and generous good offices, which he was led to
confer surely from compassion to his distress, that the chief ingredients of Mr Rous-
seau's composition are pride, caprice and ingratitude. Qualities surely unbecoming
in a man of his singular talents and genius " (MSS. Cole, xxiii, Brit. Mus. Addl.
MSS. 5824, fol. 201,203 6).
Erasmus Darwin (author of the Botanic Garden) made the acquaintance of
Rousseau while the latter was staying with Mr Davenport at Wootton Hall, they
afterwards corresponded during several years (Charles Darwin, Life of Erasmvs
Darwin, 27-8),
P. 44 no. 13. Richard Fawcett was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of Ely
20 September 1729 and licensed to the curacy of Maney (Manea), co. Cambridge.
He was ordained Priest 4 June 1732 by the Archbishop of York, and licensed
curate of the Parish Church of Leeds with a stipend of £40. He became Vicar
of St John's Parish Church, Leeds, 7 October 1768 and held it until his death
7 June 1783 at the age of 80. Whitaker, Loidis and Elmete, i, 62-3, gives the follow-
ing account of him. " To him the church and his successors were deeply indebted
for having, at an advanced period of life, filed a bill in Chancery against the
trustees, who conceived themselves entitled to withhold from the minister all the
increased rents and profits above £80, which was eight-ninths of the original
income. A decree in his favour entitled himself and his successors to that pro-
portion of the improved rents from time to time, so that the benefice is now of at
least six times the original nominal value, and certainly of more than the effective
value to the first incumbent. Mr Fawcett... was a very acute man and master of
a neat, clear, controversial style, which he twice displayed in public, once in
defence of his friend Dr Kershaw, from the statement of the disappointed can-
didate for the Vicarage of Leeds, and again in an ironical letter to the Rev. John
Wesley, under the name of certain illiterate preachers in his connexion, who
professed to be scandalised at his requirement of human learning in all its
branches as the necessary qualification of a minister of the Gospel."
This Richard Fawcett was not a Prebendary of Durham as stated in the Sed-
hergh School Register, the Prebendary was of Corpus Christi College, Oxford
(Hutchinson, History of Durham, ii, 182).
The Rev. Richard Fawcett, of Leeds, married Eleanor Allen. They had three
sons; James Fawcett, the eldest, B.A. 1774, was a Fellow of the College, Norrisian

Professor of Divinity and Rector of Great Snoring with Thursford, Norfolk, until
his death 10 April 1831 ; Joseph, their second son, was a carpet manufacturer in
Leeds; Richard, the youngest son, of St John's, B.A. 1781, became Vicar of Leeds
and died in 1837 (The Bradford Antiquary, ii, 82 b).

Joseph Storr, B.A. , was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of London 20 November
1730. He had letters dimissory dated 29 December 1735 from the Archbishop of
York to be ordained Priest. He was instituted Rector of Easington, Yorks., 7

14 March 173?^ and Priest 22 September 1734 by the Bishop of Lincoln. On 29 April
1731 he was licensed by the Bishop of Chester to teach boys "grammar, writing,
arithmetic and otlier lawful and honest learning within the parish of Hawkshead,
provided he teach the Church Catechism and repair with his scholars on every
Sunday and Holy-day to the parish church there." He was nominated by the
College to the Head Mastership of Sedbergh School, Yorks., 7 December 1741. He
does not seem to have been a successful master. The College sent a letter of
remonstrance to him on the neglect of his duties. He also had trouble with the
Governors of the School. He died in 1745 and was buried at Sedbergh, 14 March
174^ (Piatt, History of the Parish and Grammar School of Sedbergh, 148-152).
Before going to Sedbergh William Broxholme seems to have been Vicar of
Harworth, Notts., one of these names being instituted 24 January 173|. Matthew

Oliver Rouse was admitted a Fellow of the College 17 March 17§§. He was
granted 'a Year of Grace ' 16 April 1739, and his Fellowship was filled up in March
m^, he vacating it, probably because he did not proceed to the B.D. degree. He
was ordained Deacon 20 December 1730 by the Bishop of Lincoln and Priest 24 Sep-
tember 1732 by the Bishop of Exeter. He was instituted Vicar of Morwenstowe,

stowe Church. He married Honor, sister of Thomas Waddon of Tonacombe, she

P. 46 no. 29. William Cradock, the father, was of Sidney College, B.A. 1697,
MA. 1701. It will be observed that the College Register states that John Cradock
was born at Donington and the Parish Register of Donington, Salop, contains the
entry among the baptisms for 170|: "Feb. 25. John, son of William Cradock,
Rector, and Anne his wife, baptized. " This seems to prove conclusively that the
statement of some biographers (including the Dictionary of National Biography)
that Cradock was born at Wolverhampton is a mistake. John Cradock was
admitted a Fellow of the College 28 March 1732, became a Senior Fellow in 1749,
and ceded his Fellowship on being presented to the College living of Layham. He
was admitted President of the College 14 February 1753, holding with this the
office of Bakehouse Bursar for two years until February 1755. He was ordained
Deacon 19 September 1731 by the Bishop of Lincoln at Buckden, and Priest
18 December 1737 by the Bishop of Rochester at St Peter's, Westminster.
William Cradock (the father) had been presented to Donington by Earl Gower,
who was a patron of Trentham School, and on his advice John Cradock was sent
there as a boarder. This school was then in high repute, and there were some
sixty boarders who paid £12 a year each for board and schooling. Among Cradock's
schoolfellows were the sons of many gentlemen of standing in the county. Young
Cradock's character and abilities secured for him from boyhood the favour of his
father's patron. Earl Gower, who recommended him to his son-in-law, the Duke of
Bedford, then Secretary of State. He was appointed Chaplain to the Duke and was
presented by his Grace to the Rectory of Thornhaugh, Northamptonshire, and he
was instituted 21 August 1741. This he ceded on being instituted Rector of Dry
Drayton, Cambridgeshire, 9 March 1753. He was presented by the College to the
Rectory of Layham, St Andrew's, Suffolk, 16 November and instituted 2 December
1754. On 23 November 1754 he received a dispensation from the Archbishop of Can-
terbury to hold both livings, then stated to be of the respective values of £182 and
£235 and to be distant ' not more than 27 computed miles apart.' He was presented
by the Duke of Bedford to the Rectory of St Paul's, Covent Garden, London, and
instituted 25 October 1755, then ceding Dry Drayton. His successor at Layham
was appointed by the College in March 1756. In 1757 he accompanied the Duke of
Bedford, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, to Dublin, as first chaplain of his household.
The Duke had scarcely arrived in Ireland when the Bishopric of Kilmore fell vacant,
and his chaplain, Dr Cradock, was appointed by patent dated 11 November 1757.
He was consecrated in St Michael's Church, Dublin, on December 4 by the Primate,
assisted by the Bishops of Derry and Down, and was enthroned 30 December (Cotton,
Fasti Ecclesiae Hibernicae, iii, 168).
S84 APPENDIX.
On 28 August 1758 he married by licence, Mary St George, widow of Richard
St George, late a lieutenant in the 8th Dragoons, and only child of William Blayd-
win, esq., of Boston. In 1772 he became Archbishop of Dublin by patent dated
5 March. He was enthroned at Christ Church 19 March and at St Patrick's
25 March (Cotton, I.e., ii, 26).
In politics Archbishop Cradock was a Whig of the old school, and was tolerant
of all religions except the Eoman Catholic. His first charge to his clergy after his
elevation to the Archbishopric contains a violent invective against the Jesuits for
their illiberality and disloyalty. In the charge he recommended the preaching 3f
occasional controversial sermons, exhorted his clergy to attend to the state of tlie
charity schools, to visit and frequently inspect the Charter schools, ordered terriers
of the several parishes of the diocese to be completed and registered, and copies of
the registers of baptisms, marriages, and burials in each parish to be given in
annually at the Visitation. In 1773 he was one of 18 Peers who voted against the
Bill for securing the repayment of money lent by Papists to Protestants on mort-
gage of land, giving among other reasons for the protest, "it is not to be imagined
Papists will lend their money at 4 per cent, to government (as they do now), or
even at four-and-a-half per cent., when they can lend it on mortgage at six per
cent." But an Englishman is constitutionally incapable of fathoming the depth of
Irish bigotry, and Cradock was bitterly attacked for his lukewarm Protestantism by
Dr Duigenan in 1777 in his Lachrymae Academicae, and further for having, as one
of the Visitors of Trinity College, Dublin, spoken rather favourably of the Provost,
John Hely Hutchinson, against whom that book was written. Archbishop Cradock
died at the Palace in Kevan Street, Dublin, 11 December 1778, and was buried in
St Patrick's Cathedral 21 December.
He left an only son, John Francis Cradock (M.A. of St John's, 1777), afterwards
a General in the army and first Lord Howden. Lord Howden purchased Grimston
Park in the parish of Kirkby Wharfe in Yorkshire, and a mural tablet in the church
there bears this singular inscription: "Sacred to the memory of his Grace, John
Cradock, Lord Archbishop of Dublin and Primate of Ireland, who departed this
life December 11th, 1778, aged 71 years. A prelate of unaffected piety and real
dignity, he supported the Christian doctrines of the Church; by his example ex-
tracted from any the severe austerities of modern hierarchy. In the public council
of the nation he stood forth in the defence of that country from which his honours
flowed and claimed an attention from his abilities which might have been refused to
his episcopal seat. He was liberal by nature; from judgment he knew where to
bestow. From the classic fountains of Greece and Eome he derived an extensive
erudition, which he communicated, not with ostentatious profusion, but with
temperate pleasantry. His life was regulated by principle, and enlivened with
innocent hilarity. Thus speaks his friend, who in acknowledgement for being
honoured with his intimacy, cheered by his conversation, and improved by his
example, calls on the passing reader to stop one fleeting moment, and with him
deplore the loss of such a Christian, such a divine, and such a man."
Mrs Cradock survived her husband 41 years, she died 15 December 1819 and was
buried in the Abbey Church at Bath. There is a tablet to her memory in the
church at Kirkby Wharfe (Waters, Genealogical Memoirs of the Chesters of Chicheley,
ii, 674-677; D'Alton, Memoirs of the Archbishops of Dublin, 344-347).
Dr Cradock published the following: (i) I'he insufficiency of the principal ob-
jections whether of Jews or Greeks to Christianity. A Sermon [on 1 Cor. i. 23, 24]
preached before the University of Cambridge, Cambridge, 1739, 4to. ; (ii) A Sermon

P. 45 no. 34. Thomas Hartley was ordained Deacon 14 March 173f by the
Bishop of Gloucester at St Margaret's, Westminster, and Priest 24 September 1732
by the Bishop of London in St James's Chapel, Westminster. He was instituted
Rector of Winwick, Northamptonshire, 22 March 1744, and held the living until his
death. He was one of the first Methodists and was an intimate friend of James
Hervey and Whitefield. He then became an ardent admirer of Jacob Behmen,
Dr Henry More, Madame Bourignon, and Mr Law. Later he became an enthusiastic
follower of Swedenborg, whom he knew personally, and became a millenarian
and a mystic. He never openly seceded from the Church of England and
dissuaded others from doing so. He resided but little at Winwick. He was for
some time resident at Hertford, where he "left a sweet savour behind him, both
among rich and poor." He died at East Mailing, in Kent, where the Parish Register
has the following among the burials: "1784 December 17, Thomas Hartley, clerk,
Rector of Winwick in Northamptonshire, 77." And in the churchyard there is
a stone with the following inscription: " Sacred | to the memory of | the Rev. Thomas
Hartley | late Rector of Winwick in | Northamptonshire | who exchanged his
earthly | for a heavenly mansion. | The 11th day of December 1784 | aged 76 years"
(Morning Light, 1896, p. 189). He was a friend of the Countess of Huntingdon and
of the Shirley family. He is described as "A man of learning; and of a strong,
cultivated mind. He was an earnest, devout, energetic Christian ; an able, liberal,
unbigoted minister; and an author whose style is clear, forcible, and sometimes
elegant" (Tyerman's J. Wesley, ii, 518-523). Thomas Hartley published the
following works: (i) Prayer and Charity recommended in tico discourses, the former
[on 1 Chron. iv. 10] preached. ..July 27, 1736, the latter [on 1 Tim. vi. 17-19]. ..Jan.

Gospel [on Joh. iv. 23], London 1747, 8vo. ; (iii) Conversion founded on conviction of
Sin. A Sermon [on Acts ii. 37], London 1748, 8vo.; (iv) A Sermon [on 1 Cor. xii.31]
preached in Northampton before the President and Governors of the County Infirmary,
Northampton 1750, 8vo.; (v) Sermons on various subjects; with a prefatory discourse
on mistakes concerning religion, enthusiasm, experience etc., London 1754, 8vo. ;
(vi) Paradise restored; or a testimony to the doctrine of the blessed millenium; with
some considerations on its approaching advent from the signs of the times. To which
is added a short defence of the mystical writers against a late work (by Bishop
Warburlon) intitled. The doctrine of grace or the office and operations of the Holy
Spirit vindicated, London 1764, 8vo.; (vii) God's controversy with the nations
addressed to the Rulers and Peoples of Christendom, London 1766, 8vo.; another and
dififerent work with the same title, London 1775, 8vo. ; after his death appeared
A treatise on the nature of influx, being a translation of Swedenborg's De Commercio
Animae et Corporis, and he translated, with a preface and notes, Swedenborg's
Treatise concerning Heaven and its wonders and also concerning hell; being a relation
of things heard and seen, which was printed in 1817.
It will be observed that Thomas Hartley's father is described as a bookseller or
publisher. Mr Charles Higham, writing in Morning Light for 1896, p. 498, states
that there was a John Hartley "over against Gray's Inn in Holborn " who published
Sir Henry Spelman's The History and Fate of Sacrilege in 1698, and other works,
and also in 1710, when he is John Hartley "between the two Temple Gates in Fleet
Street," Strype's History of the Life and Acts of the Most Reverend Father i/i God,
Edmund Grindal. This however does not appear to be the father of the theo-
logian, the Christian name, Robert, being quite distinct in the College Register.
Mr Higham states that he has searched the Baptismal Registers of St Andrew's,
Holborn, the nearest Parish Church to Gray's Inn Gateway, without finding any
entry as to Thomas Hartley.

15 October 1754, and held all these until his death 7 July 1773, aged 65 (Hardy's
Le Neve, iii, 190; Cambridge Chronicle, 17 July 1773; Gentleman's Magazine, 1773,

P. 45. no. 40. John Garnett migrated to Sidney Sussex College where he took
the B.A. degree in 1728, and was elected Fellow. He was instituted Rector of
Lockington, Yorks., 9 November 1748, ceding this on obtaining his Bishopric. Cole
gives the following account of him (MSS. Cole xlix, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5850).
"Was a northern man and my particular acquaintance in the University. He
was first admitted to this {i.e. St John's) and afterwards chosen Fellow of Sidney.
While he was Fellow of that College he was made one of the Whitehall Preachers,
was chaplain to the Duke of Devonshire, and in 1744 being B.D. was Lady Margaret
Preacher. By Sidney College he was presented to a living in the north, but
the title being litigated he held his fellowship during the long and tedious contest
which I think was not ended when he left College for Ireland. He was esteemed
a very good preacher and printed three or four Sermons while he continued in
the University, which will be taken notice of at the end. When I first came to
the University, through the means of Mr Thomas Thicknesse, Fellow of King's
College, and his most intimate acquaintance, I was introduced to him and for
several years was of a club that met weekly at the Rose tavern, where he was
a member. He was an ingenious man, of a jovial and pleasant turn of wit and
conversation, very well bred, and of a tolerable person, though fat and pale, and
often complaining of a feverish and hectic disposition. On the death of Dr Adams
in 1746 he was a candidate for the Mastership of Sidney College which was obtained
byDr Paris, and wliich possibly might be the occasion of that shyness and distance
that subsisted between them. For on Dr Garnet's being made a bishop, Dr Paris,
who was of a peevish disposition, which was further increased by his disappoint-
ment in his preferment under the Duke of Newcastle, with whom it was thought he

acted a trimming part, when his Grace was a candidate, with his Boyal Highness
the Prince of Wales for the Chancellorship of the University, influenced his society
from paying the usual compliment of an address or letter to the new Bishop upon
his promotion. Which slight the Bishop very properly resented, by not taking up
his Lodgins in that Society when he attended the Duke of Newcastle at the Public
Commencement, but went to his original College and there took up his abode for
that season. Yet when Dr Paris was no longer Head of that College, his resent-
ment subsided and on another public occasion he reverted to the Society that had
the better claim to hira and has since, as the present Master informed me in 1777,
sent them his picture. His chief patron was the Duke of Devonshire to whom
he dedicated more than one book. I also, among many others, have the honour to
have a sermon, preached at the assizes at Cambridge, when I happened to be one
of the Grand Jury, inscribed to me. The Duke of Newcastle was also a good friend
in his promotion and I was told at the time by the late Dr Lyne, Fellow of Eton,
and my most intimate friend, that the Ministry was absolutely obliged to send him
into Ireland : for he was so good a solicitor in his own cause, so constant and
persevering an attendant at Court, and at the Duke's Levees, as not to take
a common refusal. When he was settled in the See of Leighlin and Ferns in 1752,
on the translation of Bishop Downes, he soon married a very rich widow with a fine
house, park, and the command of a borough. The last privilege he made such an
advantage of in complimenting Mr Eigby, then Secretary to the Duke of Bedford,
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and since in much higher station at home, with a seat
in the Irish Parliament, that on the death of Dr Clayton in the year 1758 he was
by that Duke's interest translated to the See of Clogher where he still presides
with dignity and credit. He is, as has been already observed, a man of a very
cheerful and pleasant turn of wit, a jovial companion and full of drollery. An
instance of which he exhibited, though perhaps not altogether so proper considering
the greatness of the occasion in the Irish House of Lords; when Bishop Clayton
proposed the abolition of St Athanasius's Creed, in that house; at which time
the Primate, Archbishop Stone, very learnedly, and with a becoming dignity,
answered his objections; while Bishop Garnet immediately saluted him in this
jocose, though apostolical manner, Liberasti animam, tuam domine. While he was
only Master of Arts in the University he was commonly called Bishop Garnet,
at a time when there was no great prospect of his ever realising that honour. How-
ever it was so generally his name that when he was chosen one of the Commissioners
of the Land Tax for the University, when the Act of Parliament was printed giving
authority to each person named therein to act in that capacity, he was called in it
Bishop Garnet, instead of John Garnet, by which misnomer he was disabled from
acting in that part. While some people said, who did not love him, that it was
done on purpose to prevent his acting at all. He had a brother Dr Barnard Garnet,
Fellow also of Sidney College, who had an aversion to go into Ireland, and a parcel
of preferments in the possession of Eyton Butts, eldest son to the Bishop of Ely
of that name, who being involved in debts could not stay with safety in England,
application was made to Bishop Gooch, though then actually dying, to suffer an
exchange to be made, and that Mr Garnet might be instituted to all Mr Butts' pre-
ferments. The Bishop very humanely accommodated his predecessor's imprudent
son, who was taken into Ireland by Bishop Garnet, made Chancellor of his diocese
and had equal or greater preferments conferred upon him in that kingdom where
he is now living; while Mr Garnet was collated to a Canonry of Ely, the Kectory of
Snailwell in Cambridgeshire, and Feltwell in Norfolk with the Perpetual Curacy
of Haddenham and Wilburton in the Isle of Ely. He died about 1768.
"After he was Bishop of Clogher, he went with his wife a tour into France,
where he was very well known to be a married Bishop. This was scandalous in
France and shews their persecutions to be better than our moderation: for were
a French Bishop to travel publicly through England, and avow his character, it
is ten to one, but that English moderation and toleration would mob him and
insult him. However, I heard Dr Rutherforth in 1769, tell a pleasant story, as
he conceived, about it, and though he was a very good Professor of Divinity, it
showed his ignorance and want of propriety. It was this : that when he was
at Versailles he was introduced to kiss the King's hand, who, on some of his
Bishops coming in soon after, his Majesty pleasantly told them, that an Irish
Bishop had just left him, who travelled like a man with his wife in his hand.
The King might very probably know that the introduced Bishop had his wife at
388 APPENDIX.
Paris or in the town of Versailles, but that he should treat of it in the manner
abovesaid is hardly probable where things of that sort are treated with more
decency and dignity. Besides the practice of kissing the King of France's hand
is not the mode in that Court : at least I was informed so by Mr Horace Walpole
with whom I was at Paris in 1765 ; and he being introduced to the King at
Fontainbleau he stood in the room all the time that his Majesty was shirting
himself, and took no more notice of him than if he had not been there. It is
the constant etiquette of that court for the King to speak to no one, that no one
may take exception." (Note inserted by Cole: " This is a mistake, he was not silent
through rule, but shyness : he could scarce ever be persuaded to speak to entire
strangers." In a letter from Mr Walpole, 1778). "I have a mezzotinto print of
the Bishop which is not unlike him. The following is a list of his publications
that have fallen in my way: (i) The New Creation, a State of Proselytism, A
sermon [on Gal. vi, 15] preached in His Majesty's Chapel at Whitehall on Sunday,
Feb. 10, 1739, 4to; (ii) A sermon preached at St Mary's Church at Cambridge before
the University, the Right Honourable Sir William Lee, knight, Lord Chief Justice of
England, and Sir Lawrence Carter, knight, one of the Barons of the Exchequer, at
the Assizes held July 14, 1741. On 2 Sam. x. 19, Cambridge 1741, 4to. 20 pages.
This is the sermon inscribed to me and my brother jurymen. I have it somewhere
of the author's gift ; (iii) A sermon preached before the University of Cambridge at
St Mary's Church, on Sunday Oct. 27, 1745; being the day of Commemoration of
Benefactors. On Romans xii. 11, former part. Cambridge 1745, 4to. 16 pages;

to which are added four sermons, London, 1749, 4to.
" In the dining room of the Master of St John's College there is a picture of
him that bears a good resemblance of him."

on the Master's report dated 27 April in that year, and a further order dated
12 November 1756, and made on petition to vary the first named decree as to the

men's Society at Spalding and Secretary to the Gentlemen's Society at Peterborough
(Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, vi, 4, 74, 122). He was a man of considerable literary
and scientific attainments. In 1734 he contributed to the Philosophical Transac-
tions (No. 434, p. 413; Abr. vii, 666) an account "of the dead bodies of a Man and
Woman preserved 49 years in the Moors of Derbyshire." He also contributed to the
Edinburgh Medical Essays, "An Essay towards ascertaining the Doses of Vomiting
and Purching Medicines" (iv, 33); Proposals for determining the Effects of
Astringent, of Attenuating and Coagulating Medicines (v, 82). He also published
392 APPENDIX.
De Morbo miliari epistola, London 1758, 8vo. In 1741 he published anonymously
The Decameron or Ten Days' Entertainment of Boccace. Translated from the Italian,
London, printed for R. Dodsley at TuUy's Head, in Pall Mall, Bvo. This is dedi-
cated to Bache Thornhill, of Stanton. That Balguy was the author of this trans-
lation we know from the statement of Samuel Pegge, who was also of Chesterfield
School and St John's. This translation is the standard English translation of
Boccaccio and has been several times reprinted with alterations (generally for the
worse) and without acknowledgment. Balguy's "English is always pure, and
some parts of his prose translation read like poems. His metrical versions have no
great merit. They are merely such as a scholarly writer would make in an age
when everybody imitated Pope. His prose has the true Addisonian ring, and the
archaisms which have been altered in subsequent editions have no uncouthness to
the literary eye." Dr Samuel Pegge states that Balguy was married at Peter-
borough, but no clue to his marriage has yet been found. There is no mention of
wife or children in his will or on his monument.
He was buried in the chancel of the Church of St John the Baptist, Peter-
borough. On one of the chancel piers is a marble tablet with this inscription:
Near this place | lie interr'd the remains | of Charles Balguy M.D. | a Man of strict
integrity | various and great learning | and of distinguished eminence | in his
Profession. Which | he exercised thro' a course | of many years in this City. | He
died March the 2d, 1767 | Aged 59 years.
Underneath are his armorial bearings, viz. : Or, three lozenges, azure, two and
one, surmounted by the crest, a bear, passant, collared and chained or.
The above details are taken from an article " Charles Balguy M.D." by Mr S. 0.
Addy, M.A., in the Journal of the Derbyshire Archaeological and Natural History
Society, vi, 11 — 30, where there are pedigrees and further details as to Dr Balguy
and his property. There is also a pedigree in Hunter's Familiae Minorum Gentium,
Harl. Soc. Publ., xxxviii, 565. See also Dictionary of National Biography.

Priest 25 September 1737 by the Bishop of Bristol. He became one of the
principal Tutors of the College and seems to have acted in that capacity from
1740 to 1751. He was instituted Rector of Barley, Herts., 13 April 1751. He
had been presented by the College to the Rectory of Barrow, Suffolk, 26 October
1749 (on a successful appeal by him to the Visitor against a prior presentation by
the College of Michael Burton, D.D.). John Green (then Regius Professor of
Divinity, afterwards Bishop of Lincoln) appealed against Rutherforth's presentation
to the Court of Chancery and it was set aside. He was presented by the College
to the Rectory of Brinkley, co. Cambridge, 27 April and instituted 28 June 1751.
He was appointed Archdeacon of Essex 28 November 1752 (Hardy, Le Neve, ii,

1767 he received a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Bax-ley
(valued at £199) with Shenfield (valued at £220), the two livings being stated to
be not more than 28 miles apart.
He became Regius Professor of Divinity in the University in 1756, holding with
this the Rectory of Somersham, attached to the Professorship.
He married 11 April 1752 Charlotte Elizabeth Abdy, daughter of Sir William
Abdy of Chobham Place, Surrey, and sister of Sir Anthony Thomas Abdy (P. 90
no. 35), with a fortune of £6000 [Cambridge Chronicle 1752, p. 191; Hart. Soc.
Publ. xiv, 628). They had a son Thomas, born 13 May, baptized 31 May and
buried 26 July 1753 (Barley Parish Register), and anotlier son, Thomas Abdy
Rutherforth, who on the death of his uncle Sir Anthony Thomas Abdy, took the
surname of Abdy on succeeding to his uncle's estate (he was of St John's, B.A.
1776).
Dr Rutherforth died 5 October 1771 at St Albyn's in Essex, the residence of his
brother-in-law. In the church at Barley there is a mural tablet with the following
inscription: Sacred | to the memory of the Revd | Thos Rutherforth S.T.P. | for-
merly fellow of, and one of the public | tutors in St John's College, Cambridge;
and I at the time of his death King's Professor of | Divinity in that University;

Abdy Rutherforth. He was | born on the 13th of October 1712, and died on the

Athenae after quoting the title of this sermon adds: "I heard him preach this
sermon, and heartily pitied him, as I knew he was at the time so ill, as fitter to
be on his couch, than in the pulpit."
Dr Rutherforth was a member of the Gentlemen's Society at Spalding, and
communicated a curious correction of Plutarch's description of the instrument
used to renew the Vestal fire (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, vi, 110; ii, 196, 197).
He also communicated to the Royal Society in 1755 a paper On the extraordinary
Agitation of the Waters in several ponds in Hertfordshire, Phil, Trans. 1755, Abr.
xi, 16.
Dr Parr, writing at the close of the 18th century, includes the name of Dr Ruther-
forth among those Professors of the University who had " very abundantly conveyed
the information which belonged to the departments sometimes in the disputes of
the Schools, and sometimes by the publication of their writings" (Wordsworth,
Scholae Academicae, 77, 78).
William Cole has several notes on Dr Rutherforth. In his account of the
Church of Papworth St Agnes (MSS. Cole ix, Brit. Mu& Addl. MSS. 5810, fol. 88 a),
after quoting two inscriptions to the memory of two children of Thomas and
Elizabeth Rutherforth, he adds: "These were two children of the late Rev. Mr
Rutherforth, Rector of this parish and father to my good friend the Rev. Dr
26—2
396 APPENDIX.
Rutherforth, Fellow of St John's College, and chief Pupil Monger there. Mr
Rutherforth had made large collections relating to the antiquities of this county
of Cambridge, which his son Dr Rutherforth gave to Mr Mason of Trinity College.
Mr Rutherforth lies in this church and left a widow and seven children, who live
now at Hemingford Grey in Huntingdonshire. A daughter married Mr Crown-
field, late Vice-President of Queens' College in Cambridge, and now beneficed in
Norfolk; another the wife of Captain Edmunds, who lives at Hemingford with
her mother; and a son who died lately at sea, besides the Doctor.... The Doctor
married a sister of Sir Anthony Abdy, who was formerly his pupil at St John's
College and to whom he dedicated one of his books [no. ii of those enumerated
above]. He has a son and now [1758] lives in a large new house opposite St Cle-
ment's Church in Cambridge. The Doctor's Preferment, by all accounts, for I
have not seen him these five years, has not a little swelled his vanity, which was
always ready to over-run; though he is a very sensible man and a good scholar,
and peculiarly adapted for the wrangling profession he occupies at Cambridge."
Cole then quotes from Bishop Warburton's fourth volume of the Divine Legation,
Book 4, section 4 (ed. 1765) pp. 266, 269, 272, and adds : " Bishop Warburton has in
his usual manner corrected Dr Rutherforth in a most gross and insolent manner,
how the Doctor's pride will relish it I can easily guess."
Again, in his Collection for an Athenae Cantabrigienses (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS.
5879) Cole has the following: "Dr Rutherforth had been declining in the beginning
of the year 1771, yet preached the Hospital Sermon at St Mary's in June that
year, when it was visible he had been better in bed; though he was always of a
very pale and sallow complexion. He declined after this much more, and in the
autumn was advised to go to Town for advice, and had the opinions of Dr Thomas,
whose directions he followed and went with his lady to her brother's Sir Anthony
Abdy, when on Friday, October 4, he was observed to be more easy and better
spirited, went out an airing in the afternoon and played at cards in the evening,
but was suddenly taken with a shivering, put to bed, and grew delirious, and died
next morning at 5 o'clock, Saturday, October 5, 1771 ; and is to be buried at Barley.
He has left his widow, with one son at Eton about 16 years of age, and like his
mother very fat. He is reckoned rather wild and will now have an opportunity of
more displaying his genius, if it is, as they say, rather gay. But he is very young
and may be excused. He is to inherit his uncle's estate and to change his name.
The Doctor was tall and thin and limped a little in his gait. He was the great
and unrivalled ornament of the Divinity Scholes and seemed peculiarly adapted
to that profession, which will hardly be filled by his equal, let whomsoever have
the election. He was a very worthy man, though proud and stately, but rather
bent on raising a family. He was buried in a private manner at Barley. Dr Ruther-
forth was pitted with the small pox and very yellow or sallow complexioned. . . .
" As Dr Rutherforth, by will, desired to be buried according to the Liturgy of the
Church of England, it looked as if he foresaw that Establishment might be over-
thrown if he lived much longer. Indeed appearances are very bad, when the
clergy of that Church are endeavouring to pull down, what used to be the work
of the Fanatics and Presbyterians. I write this when many of the Clergy,
Mr Barker of Queens' in particular, who is seeking subscriptions openly to petition
Parliament to lay aside all obligations to Conformity, 1771, Nov. 3."
"Mr Stevens, Fellow of Trinity College, in a Sermon before the University, now
just published, takes occasion to lament his death in tbis manner: 'We cannot
but sincerely lament, that our Established Church, and this University in parti-
cular, have lately sustained so affecting, and I may add, unseasonable a loss.
For at a time when bold and artful attacks are daily being made upon our Church
and her doctrines, she could very ill spare one of her most able, faithful and
strenuous advocates. When the heat of a battle is not yet subsided, but possibly
increasing, it is a severe misfortune indeed to lose a most skilful and veteran hero.
Suffice it to have paid this passing tribute of respect to the memory of one who
had long fought with true firmness and fortitude the good fight of faith.'
" The CrUical Reviewers for December 1771, p. 478, perily remark that St Paul
with propriety might speak of fighting a good fight of faith, in opposition to the
Heathen, but that there was seldom any occasion for a Professor of Divinity in a
Christian country to fight at all. Notwithstanding this criticism from professed
Patrons and Admirers of every scheme against the Established Church and good
order, the allusion upon a nearer view does not seem so unhappy ; for if St Paul
• APPENDIX. 397
had had his heathen to oppose, this Christian country unhappily is not without
them, professedly avowing no belief in Christianity and covertly under the artful
and disguised names of Lovers of Liberty, Christian Liberty, to which may be
added in the gross their good friends the Arians, Presbyterians, Independents, &e.,
&c. Neither do the Critical Reviewers seem to act so candidly as one would wish,
to talk at the rate they have done, considering their trade, which is, fighters by
profession.

" I always supposed that although his father was minister at one of the Pap worth's,
he drew his origin from Scotland. Especially since he called Sir Anthony Abdy
his brother, which he always affectedly did, and used then the seal of the Scotch
noble family of his name, yet it is more reasonable to suppose that he was extracted
nearer home as I find that name in the earliest part of the Cherry Hinton Register
in Queen Mary's time and continued there many generations." (See also MSS. Cole

affirmed of Charity in the Gospel, that it seeketh not its own, might, in the justest

Dr Edmund Waller, Fellow of St John's College in Cambridge, where he practised

was a Physitian of good practice in the University, where he got together about
4000 or 5000 pounds, which he left at his death to one of his nephews, a clergy-
man beneficed near Newport Pagnell in Bucks., at which place, I take it, Dr Waller
was born; sure I am that he had a brother, who was rector of Walton near the
same place. He was a man of a pleasant and facetious turn of wit, loved his
bottle and was no enemy to a well spread table. He died at College in 1745 and
lies buried in the College Chapel " (MSS. Cole vii, fol. 59, where Dr Waller's

P. 63 no. 37. Thomas Lipyeatt was admitted a Fellow of the College 2 April
1734. He was ordained Deacon 5 June 1734, and Priest 21 March 173f , by the
Bishop of Lincoln. He was incorporated as M.A. at Oxford 4 June 1741. One of
these names was instituted Vicar of Ampthill, Beds., 2 June 1736, holding it until
1738 when on 17 June 1738 he was instituted Rector of CoUingbourne Duels, Wilts.,
resigning this in 1743. It is not quite clear that this was the Fellow of St John's,
though probably it was. On 12 October 1750 he was instituted Rector of Meesden,
Herts., holding this till 1756. On 22 February 1755 he was nominated by the College
to be Chaplain of the donative of Horningsey, co. Cambridge. He was elected by
the College to be Rector of Layham, Suffolk, 20 March and instituted 9 April 1756.
He was instituted Rector of Girton, co. Cambridge, 19 May 1756, holding this with
Layham by dispensation (Gentleman's Magazine, 1756, p. 451). He was instituted
Rector of Great Hallingbury, Essex, 22 July 1758, then ceding Girton but holding
it with Layham until his death, which occurred at Great Hallingbury 5 July 1781
(Cambridge Chronicle 14 July 1781). He had a dispensation from the Archbishop
of Canterbury on 15 May 1756 to hold Layham (valued at £240) with Girton
(valued at £135), the livings being stated to be 26 miles apart ; and another on
22 May 1758 to hold Layham with Hallingbury (valued at £250), the livings being
stated to be 25 miles apart. Cole in his Collections for an Athenae Cantahrigienses
(Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5875) says of him: "He died single, was my old acquaint-
ance; much acquainted in Sir John Cotton's family, and took a journey, a short
tour into France with the present Sir Thomas Hatton. He was a strong, well built
man, and promised a longer life. He had a brother Fellow of the same College."
P. 63 no. 38. Thomas Seward was ordained Deacon 19 December 1731 by the
Bishop of Salisbury and Priest 20 May 1732 by the Bishop of Rochester. He was
instituted Rector of Llanmaes (or Llanrays), co. Glamorgan, 6 June 1733, ceding
this on his institution 22 March 17|f to the Rectory of Eyam, co. Derby. He was
instituted Rector of Kingsley, co. Stafford, 8 April 1747. On 2 April 1747, when he
is described as Chaplain to William, Duke of Cleveland, he received a dispensation
from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Eyam (valued at £350) with Kingsley
(valued at £150), the two livings being stated to be 20 miles apart. He held both
until his death. He was collated to the Prebend of Pipa Parva in Lichfield
Cathedral 30 April 1755, holding also the Prebend of Bubbenhall in the same
cathedral, and to the Prebend of Lyme and Halstock in Salisbury Cathedral 2 May
1755, holding all these until his death (Hardy's Le Neve, i, 588, 621 ; ii, 672, 678).
He died in March 1790 in the Bishop's Palace in the Close at Lichfield, aged
82 (Cambridge Chronicle, 13 March 1790). He married EHzabeth, daughter of John
Hunter, Prebendary of Lichfield, and Dr Samuel Johnson's schoolmaster. Their
only surviving child Anna Seward was the well known poetess. In the south
transept of Lichfield Cathedral is a monument by Bacon, with the following
inscription, the lines are by Sir Walter Scott :
"Anna Seward died March 25th, 1809, aged 66. By her order this monument
is erected to the memory of her father the Rev. Thomas Seward, M.A., Canon
Residentiary of this Cathedral, who died March 1790, aged 81. Of her mother.

And of her sister, Sarah, their younger daughter, who died June 1764, aged 20.
"Amid these aisles, where once his precepts showed
The heavenward pathway which in life he trode.
This simple tablet marks a father's bier.
And those he loved in life, in death are near.
For him, for them, a daughter bade it rise,
Memorial of domestic charities.
Still would you know why o'er the marble spread.
In female grace the willow droops her head;
Why on her branches, silent and unstrung.
The minstrel harp is emblematic, hung;
What poet's voice is smothered here in dust,
Till waked to join the chorus of the just;
Lo ! one brief line an answer sad supplies —
Honour'd, beloved, and mourn'd, here Seward lies;
Her worth, her warmth of heart, our sorrows say:
Go seek her genius in her loving lay."
(Stone, History of Lichfield Cathedral, 104-5.)
Mr Seward between the ages of thirty and thirty-five passed two years in France
and Italy with his pupil, Lord Charles Fitzroy, the Duke of Grafton's third son.
This young man died abroad {Public Characters, 1803-4, p. 541). Horace Walpole
in a letter to the Countess of Ossory, dated 9 October 1783 (Walpole's Letter*, ed.
Cunningham, viii, 415) thus refers to the matter : " I remember Mr Seward (father
of the present muse of Lichfield) who was travelling governor to Lord Charles
Fitzroy, who, falling dangerously ill at Genoa, and being saved, as Mentor thought,
by Dr Shadwell, the governor whipped up to his chamber and began a complimentary
ode to his physician; but was called down before it was finished, on his pupil's
relapse, who did die ; however the bard was too much pleased with the debut of his
poem to throw it away, and so finished it though his gratitude had been still-bom."
" Mr Seward, to graceful manners added great hilarity of spirit, uncommon
singleness of heart, and the most active benevolence. His poetic talents were by
no means inconsiderable ; and he studied with discriminating taste, in their original
language, the Greek, Latin and English bards To Dodsley's Collection he
contributed a few elegant little poems, which may be found in the latter part of
the second volume of that miscellany. They were printed anonymously; they
commence with the ' Female Right to Literature ' and extend to the end of the
volume" (Public Characters, 1803-4, p. 541-2). His portrait, by Wright of Derby,
engraved by Cromek, forms the frontispiece to Vol. ii of The Letters of Anna
Seward. Many references to him will be found in his daughter's letters. A poem
by him is given in The Gentleman's Magazine for 1786, i, 514-6. Other references
to him will be found in the Life of Bp Thomas Newton, before his works, pp. 113, 114;
The European Magazine, 1782, p. 167; 'The Gentleman's Magazine, 1781, p. 624;
1782, p. 167 ; 1790, i, 281, 369. Dr Samuel Johnson and Boswell visited him on
24 March 1776 ; Boswell describes him as a ' genteel, well-bred, dignified clergyman '
and 'an ingenious and literary man.' WhUe Dr Johnson thus described him in
1777, " Sir, his ambition is to be a fine talker ; so he goes to Buxton and such places,
where he may find companions to listen to him. And, Sir, he is a valetudinarian
among those who are always mending themselves. I do not know a more disagree-
able character than a valetudinarian, who thinks he may do any thing that is for
his ease, and indulges himself in the grossest freedom. Sir, he brings himself
to the state of a hog in a stye."
Thomas Seward edited with Theobald and Sympson the works of Beaumont
and Fletcher in 1750. He published (i) The conformity between Papacy and
Paganism illustrated. Being a sequel to two treatises on the subject, the one by
H. Mawer, in his exposition of the Apocalypse and the other by Dr Middleton in his
letters from Rome, London 1746, 8vo. ; (ii) The Folly, Danger, and Wickedness of
Disaffection to the Government; an assize Sermon [on Ps. cxxxi, 1], preached at
Stafford, August 10, 1750, on occasion of the late seditious riots in that County, 1750,
4to. ; (iii) The late dreadful Earthquake no proof of God's particular wrath against
the Portuguese, a Sermon preached at Lichfield 7 December 1755, London 1756, 8vo. ;
(iv) A Charge to the Clergy of the Peculiars belonging to the Dean and Chapter of
Lichfield, given at Bakewell, 23 April 1774, London 1775, 4to.

P. 63 no. 39. The father was a member of the College (Part ii, P. 137 no. 30.
See P. 41 no. 34 for the admission of a brother). William Drake was ordained
Deacon 19 September 1731 and licensed to the curacy of Sedgbrook, co. Lincoln, he
was ordained Priest 23 September 1733, all by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was
instituted Rector of Full Sutton, Yorks., 3 November 1739, he was also Vicar of
Hatfield, Yorks. He died 8 February 1757 and was buried at Hatfield. He married
first Isabel, daughter of James Smith of Manningham, near Bradford. By her he
had a son Nathan, born at Hatfield 20 August 1736, who became a Member of the
Supreme Council at Calcutta and died in the Black Hole. William Drake married
secondly Sarah, daughter of John Stancliffe, of Balmhall in the parish of Halifax
(Hunter, Familiae Minorum Gentium, Harleian Soc. Publ. xxxviii, 510; xxxix, 1159,
where there is a pedigree). His name appears among the subscribers to Drake's
Ehoracum.
P. 63 no. 40. Peter Eichardson did not graduate. One of these names was
instituted Rector of Moresby, co. Cumberland, 7 July 1735, and held the living
until 1754.
P. 63 no. 41. John Burton was born 9 June 1710 and admitted to Merchant
Taylors' School in 1725 (Robinson, Register of Merchant Taylors' School, ii, 66).
For some account of his parents see the note on his brother Christopher (P. 56
no. 26). After taking the degree of M.B. at Cambridge in 1733 he studied at
Leyden under Boerhaave, and ultimately proceeded to the degree of M.D. in the
University of Rheims. After completing his professional education he settled at
Heath, a hamlet in the parish of Kirkthorpe, near Wakefield. On 2 January 173f
he was married, in York Minster, to Mary, only child of Samuel Heuson, of Wistow
in the West Riding, and about that time settled to practice in York. His first
published work was An account of a monstrous child pubhshed with the Edinburgh
Medical Essays in 1736. In 1737 he published A treatise on the Non-naturals, in
which the great influence they have on human bodies is set forth and mechanically
accounted for; to which is subjoined a short Essay on the Chincough icith a new
method of treating that obstinate disorder. Rivington, Ware and Hodge 1737. 8vo.
This is dedicated to Boerhaave. He took a leading part in raising subscriptions for
an Infirmary for the City and County of York. When it was completed he was ap-
pointed one of the first honorary physicians. Dr Burton was a strong political partisan
and was regarded by many as not only a violent Tory but a confirmed Jacobite,
and in religious feeling a Papist. In 1745 during the advance of the Highland
army he set off to collect the rents of two farms belonging to him, he fell into the
hands of the Highlanders and was conducted as a prisoner to Lancaster, but
ultimately dismissed. On his return to York the report was spread that he had
invited the rebel army to York, and on November 30 he was committed to York
Castle as "a suspicious person to his Majesty's government." The magistrates
signing the arrest being Thomas Place, Recorder of York, and Dr Jaques Sterne
(uncle of the author of Tristram Shandy). There appears to have been no founda-
tion for these charges, but Burton was treated with great severity and sent to
London in custody. Ultimately he was released in July 1747. In 1749 he published
a pamphlet, British Liberty endangered, demonstrated by the following narrative,
wherein is proved from Fads, that J. B. has hitherto been a better friend to the
English Constitution in Church and State, than his persecutors. Humbly dedicated
to the most Reverend and Worthy the Archbishop of Canterbury (Herring). With a
proper Preface by John Burton, of York, M.D. London. Bvo. pp. vi, 75. The
narrative is imbued with a strong feeling of bitterness against his opponents, among
whom Jaques Sterne was on all occasions the most conspicuous and inveterate.
The truth of Burton's narrative has not been questioned. These unfortunate
circumstances involved Dr Burton in much pecuniary loss and embarrassment.
In 1751 he published An Essay towards a complete new system of Midwifery ,
London, 2 vols. Bvo. A French translation by Le Moine was published at Paris in
1771. And in 1755 A Letter to William Smellie, M.D., containing critical and
practical remarks upon his treatise on the Theory and Practice of Midwifery, wherein
the gross mistakes and dangerous methods of practice recommended by that writer are
fully demonstrated and generally corrected, London, 1753, 8vo. pp. 250.
In his later years he was occupied in making great and valuable collections for
the History and Antiquities of the county of York. The first and only volume of
the Monasticon Eboracense, and the ecclesiastical history of Yorkshire was published
APPENDIX. 407
at York in 1758. He continued to make collections for further volumes, but his
scheme was never carried out. To the copy of the first volume in the King's
Library of the British Museum are appended the first eight pages of the second
volume.
In 1771 he sold the whole of his collections (16 volumes folio, 30 volumes quarto,
and 30 bundles of original charters) to William Constable, of Burton Constable, for
a sum of money and an annuity to himself and his wife.
The annuity was not long paid as Dr Burton died 19 January 1771, aged 62,
his wife dying 28 October 1771, aged 58. They were buried in the church of Holy
Trinity, Micklegate, York, where there is a monument to their memory. (Yorkshire
Archaeological and Topographical Journal, ii, 403—440; Davies, Memoir of the
York Press, 240, 326; Nichols, Illustrations, iii, 375.) It is said that Laurence
Sterne satirized Dr Burton under the title of 'Dr Slop' in Tristram Sliandy [Illus-
trations of Sterne with other essays, by John Ferrier, M.D. i, 129; Fitzgerald,
Life of Sterne; Notes and Queries, 3rd Ser. v, 414).

1727. He was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of Carlisle 21 March 172i and Priest
by the Bishop of Lincoln 11 April 1725. He was instituted Eector of Eibbesford
with the Chapel of Bewdley, co. Worcester, 20 April 1725, and Vicar of Stottesdon,
CO. Salop, 28 October 1727. On 13 September 1727, when he is described as
chaplain to John, Earl of Cassillis, he received a dispensation to hold both livings,
then stated to be of the respective values of £150 and £100, and to be contiguous.
Both livings were vacant in 1730.
P. 64 no. 45. Isaac Walton, the father, was curate of Marsden, Yorks., for
32 years. He was buried there 25 August 1728, aged 55. Isaac Walton, his son,
"student at St John's College in Cambridge," was interred there 29 June 1730,
aet. 25 (Hulbert, Annals of t lie Church in Almondbury, p. 432).
P. 64 no. 46. Thomas Davison, the father, was a member of the College. See
his admission Part ii, P. 83 no. 37. He died 30 April 1724 and was buried in
St Oswald's, Durham, where there is a monument to his memory, as well as that of
his wife and four daughters (Munk, Roll of the Royal College of Physicians, i, 496;

Cemeteries of the City of DurJiam, i, 141).
Robert Davison did not graduate. One of these names was instituted Vicar
of Croxdale, co. Durham, 10 October 1742, holding the living until 1759. On
22 December 1759 one Robert Davison was instituted Vicar of Ellingham, co.
Northumberland, holding the living until 1768.
P. 64 no. 48. Thomas Swaine was ordained Priest by the Archbishop of York
22 September 1745 and licensed to the curacy of Bardsey, Yorks., with a stipend of
£30. He graduated as Swaine (not Swain as in the Register) and was also ordained
in that name.
P. 54 no. 49. Benjamin Bayley was ordained Deacon 5 August 1733 by the
Archbishop of York and licensed to the curacy of Bradford, Yorks., with a stipend
of £25.
P. 54 no. 60. The following account of the Bate family is due to Mr John T.
Maitlaud (of Poplar Walk, Croydon). The family of Bate was seated in the southern
and south-eastern districts of Kent as early as the first year of King Edward II,
mention being made of an action-at-law wherein William Bate of Westgate near
Canterbury was plaintiff (Kentish Files, 1 Edward II). In 1478 Henry Bate left
benefactions to fraternities in Lydd Church, Kent (Hist. MSS. Commission, Vol. v.
Part i, Appendix, Lidd). Members of the family served as Jurats and Bailiffs of
Lydd from 1500 to 1660; one branch being termed "the most ancient house,"
while others were engaged in more humble occupations. They were thriving and
408 APPENDIX.
successful however. James Bate, a yeoman of Lydd, married in 1603 Alice Glover
of Saltwood, Kent. Their son Eichard was twice married. By his first wife,
Susan, daughter of George Isham of London, he had a son James, afterwards of
Ashford, gent., who by his wife Mary had four sons and five daughters. Their
third son Richard (B.A. All Souls' College, Oxford 1695) married 12 April 1702
Elizabeth, daughter of the Rev. Michael Stanhope, Rector of Boughton Malherbe. He
was afterwards Vicar of Chilham (1711-1737) and Rector of Warehorne (1719-1737),
both in Kent. But whilst he served the curacy of Boughton Malherbe his sons
James, John and Julius were born. Richard Bate died 4 March 173f and there is
a monument to his memory in Chilham Church (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes,
iii, 53-58).
James Bate (who acted as tutor at St John's to his two younger brothers) was
born at Boughton Malherbe and baptized there 14 February 1703. He was educated
at the King's School, Canterbury, proceeding from there to Corpus Christi College,
Cambridge, where he took the B.A. degree in 1722. He was prae-elected to a fellow-
ship at Corpus College (as to this custom see Nichols, Literary Illustrations, v, 309),
but before admission there, was admitted a Fellow of St John's 7 June 1726 on the
nomination of the Bishop of Ely. He was ordained Deacon 18 December 1726 and
Priest 1 June 1729 by the Bishop of Ely. He accompanied as chaplain the Hon.
Horatio Walpole, Ambassador to Paris, and he refers to this step in the preface to
his Rationale of the Literal Doctrine of OrigiTial Sin, as "my hard fate in my
younger years to serve one of our Ambassadors abroad," and "that unfortunate
expedition of mine (how ruinous soever it was to my private fortunes)." On his
return he was presented by the King to the Rectory of St Paul's, Deptford, and insti-
tuted 23 June 1731. He shortly afterwards married his wife Rebecca (who was buried
at St Paul's, Deptford, 25 March 1767). They appear to have had four children:
Mary, Richard, Elizabeth, James. Richard was an East India merchant and a
successful man. James was apprenticed 5 December 1752 for seven years to John
Coles of Fleet Street, stationer (Records of the Worshipful Company of Stationers),
and was made free of this Company 1761. He resided at Birchin Lane, where he
sold his father's book above-named and was living in 1775. The Rector of Deptford
died at the Rectory 3 and was buried at St Paul's 7 September 1775. He was
the author of a number of books, a list of which is given in Nichols, Literary
Anecdotes, iii, 56 note. He was a good classical and Hebrew scholar ; his writings
are in a lighter style than most of the authors of liis day and interspersed with
native wit. He was a strong opponent of Hutchinsonianism and a follower
of Sir Isaac Newton's philosophy. His funeral sermon was preached by the Rev.
Colin Mylne, B.D., who gave him a high character for conscientiousness, learning,
personal piety and zeal. His will dated 12 November 1774 was proved in London
in September 1775, by his only surviving child James Bate.
John Bate (twin brother of JuUus) was born at Boughton Malherbe 13 March
17f ^ and was baptized the same day. He took the degree of B.A. in 1730 and M.A.
1742. He was ordained Deacon 18 February 173f by the Bishop of Lincoln (at the
instance of the Archbishop of Canterbury), and Priest 30 March 1736 by the Bishop
of Winchester. He was instituted Rector of Warehorne, Kent, 18 April 1737, on the
presentation of the King, and held the living until death. He died in Great
Russell Street, Bloomsbury, in the parish of St Giles' in the Fields, 22 October 1761.
His will was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury by his executrix and
daughter, Catherine Mary Bate, 28 September 1762.
P. 54 no. 51. Julius Bate was born at Boughton Malherbe and baptized the
same day as his brother John, and took his degree in the same year. He was
ordained Deacon 9 June 1734 by the Bishop of London, and Priest 2 November
1735 by the Bishop of St David's. He was an intimate friend of the celebrated
theological writer John Hutchinson and was one of the party known as Hutchin-
sonians. The party was small and much ridiculed, they were however all honourable
men, of great learning, probity and piety. Their apology was written by Dr George
Home, Bishop of Norwich. Through Hutchinson's influence Julius Bate was
presented to the Rectory of Sutton, Sussex, by Charles, Duke of Somerset, and
instituted 3 November 1735. He was instituted Rector of Clapham, Sussex, 21 July
1742. On 12 July 1742 when he is described as chaplain to William, Earl of
Harrington, he received a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold
Sutton (valued at £80) with Clapham (valued at £40), the two benefices being stated
to be eight miles apart. He held both livings until his death 7 April 1771 at

Arundel. "He was well known to the learned world for his many excellent tracts
in explanation and defence of the Hebrew Scriptures. His evangelical principles of
religion shone with a steady lustre, not only in his writings but in his life. Dis-
interested and disdaining the mean acts of ambition, his preferment in the Church
was always small. As a Christian and a friend, humble and pious, tender, affection-
ate and faithful, as a writer warm, strenuous, and undaunted in asserting the
truth. Few hath he left his equals, none his superior " (Gentleman^ x Magazine, 1771,
p. 192).
As above stated Julius Bate was a friend of Hutchinson, he was with him in his
illness, and assisted Spearman in editing Hutchinson's Philosophical and Theolo-
gical works. Bate himself was a voluminous author, he was principally engaged in
opposing Warburton's Divine Legation of Moses. His publications were: (i) The
examiner examined: or the examination of the remarks upon, and Mr CalcotVs
answer to the observations upon his sermon considered, London 1739, 8vo. ; (ii) An
essay towards explaining the third chapter of Genesis and the spiritual sense of the
law. In tchich the third proposition of the Divine Legation, and what the author
hath brought to support it, are considered, Loudon 1741, 8vo. [In the preface to the
Divine Legation "one Julius Bate" is accused "in conjunction with one Bomaine,

This was his chief work. In the Monthly Revie^o, xxxvi, 355, it is noticed as follows :
"We have here a very considerable body of Hutchinsonian divinity, philosophy, and
criticism. Mr Bate has long been distinguished as one of the most redoubtable
champions of that sect ; and this present work will, if we mistake not, be regarded
as his greatest effort to serve and maintain that cause: — a cause which, neverthe-
less, we cannot but look upon as being now in a very declining way, notwithstanding
the many loads of learned lumber that have been brought as props and buttresses
to support it. In his Preface, Mr Bate warmly attacks the 'hydra of pointing,' as
he terms it. He commends the courage of Capellus, who ventured to encounter
this monster, and vanquished it, as he says, together with its renowned advocate
Buxtorf." After Mr Bate's death was published (xix) A new and Literal Translation

P. 65 no. 10. Christopher Mayes was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of Ely
21 December 1733, and Priest by the Bishop of London 19 December 1736. Cole
in his Athenae Cantahrigienses (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. no. 5876) has the following.
" Mr Mayes was the son of a small Tradesman of Cambridge, admitted of St John's
College and afterwards for many years one of the three Conducts of King's. Where
on account of his disputatious and metaphysical genius he was adapted for wTrang-
ling in the Scholes, with which the King's men are utterly unacquainted ; and on
that account he almost constantly in their turn served the office of Moderator in
the Sophs Scholes for them, and was so constant a preacher at St Marj's that
some Grace was offered, if not passed to prevent it. His Discourses not being
the most entertaining, yet he not an ignorant man, but of a strange confused
metaphysical head. He preached a Sermon in 1745 on the Rebellion, and for
many years served the two churches of St Peter's and St Giles' as Curate for
Dr Zachary Grey, and was near having possession of a Living in Lincolnshire
appropriated for the Conducts, when his Intellects were so much shattered as to
be incapable of taking any cure. He was a most thin meagre man and looked
APPENDIX. 411
upon as always, while I was of the Society for 17 years, to be a very honest,
harmless, inoffensive, yet positive and disputatious to a degree, Man. Yet some
four years ago, Mr Betham told me that he was a vicious man and very indecent
latterly, and talked much in the deistical way. Perhaps when his intellects were
shaken. At last he removed into the Chapel Clark's house, Henry Maulden, whose
wife was as mad as himself, where he died and was buried in the College Chapel.
I always esteemed him as a very honest good sort of man, but strangely odd, which
was resolved into his metaphysical turn of mind and absences."
In the Journal of University matters kept by Henry Hubbard, President of
Emmanuel College and Registrary of the University from 1758 to 1778, a copy of
which is contained in Cole's Collections (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. no. 5852), under
date 10 October 1756, is this entry :
" Mr Yates, Cath. Moderator.
Mr Mayes, Begal : offered for Moderator. Grace stopped by Non-Regents. Non-
Placets, 8. Placets, 3. Ditto for Examiner stopped, Non-Placets, 8. Placets, 2.
" N.B. Though Mr Yates and Mr Mayes were in the same Grace, they passed for
Mr Yates: the Non-Placets declaring that they only objected to Mayes."
To this Cole adds the following note : " The occasion of the Disturbance against
Mr Mayes was, his being a constant Hackney at St Mary's, in Exercises in the
Scholes, and Moderator Deputy for the People of King's College; who not doing
Exercise, as all other Colleges are obliged, in the Scholes, they are shy and averse
from appearing there when necessary. Mr Mayes had been educated at St John's,
a Cambridge Man, son to a small Joyner, a decent well behaved man all my time in
College, tho' Mr Betham gave me a sad character of him, after I had left it, but
poor man he was then insane, and ought to have been confined. He was one of
the three Conducts in the College, a Station not the most eligible among a set of
people, very unlike all the rest of the University, and coming from Eton good
Scholars and in high esteem of themselves, are but too apt to undervalue and use
contemptuously those among them, whom they conceive their inferiors. Mr Mayes
was by no means deficient as a Scholar; as a Metaphysician much their superior.
But a metaphysical turn, and absences, and an oddity of Behaviour, gave weak
people an handle to ridicule him, which they often made an unmerciful use of.
W. C. 1780."
Christopher Mayes published a Thanksgiving Sermon at St Giles', Cambridge,
9 October 1746. Cambridge 1746, 8vo. (Gentleman's Magazine, 1746, p. 616). He
died 29 January 1764 in his 54th year (Cambridge Chronicle, 4 February 1764).
Cole (MSS. Cole ii, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5803, p. 42 &) has this note:—" On
Sunday 29 January 1764, died, after a long illness, Mr Christopher Mayes formerly
of St John's College and near 30 years one of the Conducts of King's College, a
Curate near as long to Dr Zachary Grey in St Giles' and St Peter's churches.
He was born in Cambridge, where his parents were low tradesmen but honest
people, and their son a very honest inoffensive man, who printed a Rebellion
Sermon in 1745. He was aged 54 years at his death, and had been somewhat
disordered in his head for some years before his death. He died in the Butcher
Row, leaving his rooms at College for better attendance during his illness, and was
attended by the Fellows of the College to King's College Chapel, where he was
buried."
P. 66 no. 13. This is perhaps Evan Lloyd Vaughan, younger son of Richard
Vaughan, of Corsygedol. Richard Vaughan was M.P. for Merioneth. Evan Lloyd
Vaughan was appointed Constable of Harlech Castle 17 July 1754 and was re-
appointed for life 6 May 1761. He was High Sheriff for the County of Denbigh

and again on 9 November 1774, 12 October 1780, 6 May 1789, and 9 July 1790,
sitting until his death 4*December 1791, aged 86. This age it will be observed
does not agree with that in the College Register (Williams, Parliamentary History
of the Principality of Wales, 117).

P. 56 no. 19. Mansfield Price was admitted Fellow of the College 25 March
1735, he was transferred to a Law Fellowship 11 February 17|^ (which entitled
him to hold his Fellowship without taking Orders), became a Senior Fellow 11 April

14 November 1734 and Rector of the first portion of Pontesbury, Salop, 28 November
1750. On 16 May 1743 John Lloyd, perpetual curate of St Mary's, Shrewsbury,
died. The Mayor of Shrewsbury and the Headmaster were unable to agree on
the choice of a successor. The Mayor advocated the claims of Benjamin Wing-
field, who had been appointed a public preacher by the Corporation. Hotchkis,
the Headmaster, urged that Wingfield did not possess the statutory qualification
of having been educated at Shrewsbury School. He had been there for a year
but was removed to Wem Grammar School. The presentation lapsed to the
Crown and the Lord Chancellor nominated Wingfield about January 174f . He
held all his preferments until his death. In the church of Pontesbury on stones
on the floor within the Communion rails there are the following inscriptions:
" The remains of Mrs Anne Wingfield, wife of the Rev. Mr Benjamin Wingfield,
A.M., rector of the first portion of Pontesbury, who died 21st January 1755 ;

P. 66 no. 21. John Tempest, the elder, was M.P. for the County of Durham
1706. John Tempest, the younger, was returned as M.P. for the City of Durham
23 April 1742 at a by-election, and on 27 June 1747, 15 April 1754, 6 April 1761
at general elections. He did not sit in the Parliament of 1774. He was Mayor
of Hartlepool in 1747 and 1758. He died in 1776 (Bean, The Parliamentary Repre-
sentation of the Six Northern Counties of England, 156). The Parish Register of
St Nicholas, Durham, has the following entries: "1710, April 28, John, son of
Mr John Tempest, baptized." John Tempest, the younger, married at Messington,
CO. Durham, Frances Shuttleworth. John Tempest was buried at St Giles's, Dur-
ham, 7 May 1776 ; his wife was buried there 18 June 1771.

P. 66 no. 24. After taking his degree Robert Lamb was ordained Deacon by the
Bishop of Lincoln 23 September 1733. He was for some time a Minor Canon of
the Cathedral Church of Durham, and afterwards perpetual curate of South Shields.
He was instituted Vicar of Norham, co. Durham, 28 October 1747 on the presenta-
tion of the Dean and Chapter of Durham and held this until his death in 1795, at
Edinburgh, and was buried there. He published: (1) llie History of Chess; to-
gether with short and plain instructions, by which any one may easily play at it
without tlie help of a teacher, London 1776, 8vo. (2) An Exact and Circumstantial
History of the Battle of Flodden, in verse; with Notes, Berwick 1774, 12mo.
London 1775, 8vo. The notes to the latter give the best insight into Lamb's
eccentric genius. He states that he undertook them to " divert his mind, op-
pressed with the severe weight of a recent complicated affliction, the death of an
only son and of an amiable and affectionate wife." The account was printed
from a manuscript in the possession of John Askew, esq., of Pallinsburn. Besides
these he is known to have been the author of the ballad The Laidley Worm of
Spindleton Heugh, which so far deceived Hutchinson that he inserted it in his.
History of Northumberland (ii, 16) as an antique.
Mr H. F. Boyd (Notes and Queries, 5th Ser. iv, 520) gives the following curioas
account of Lamb's marriage. After leaving College, young Lamb lived for some
years as a bachelor in Durham. One day, having had occasion to go about some
parcel to the house of Mr Nelson the carrier, he was struck by the energy and
activity of the carrier's daughter Philadelphia Nelson. He thought no more of it
at the time. On his appointment to Norham lio found himself in a position to
support a wife. Then he remembered Philadelphia Nelson, and wrote at once to
ask her to be his wife, telling her that if she thought well of his proposal she must
come to Berwick by the coach, and he would meet her there. But, said he, we
have met but once, and that is many years ago ; you will not know me ; I shall
not know you. If, therefore, you come, bring a tea-caddy under your arm and
walk down upon the Berwick pier. I will meet you there early in the morning.
Upon the day fixed Miss Nelson came and went down upon the pier as Lamb had
told her. An old customs-house officer going his rounds, saw a young woman at
nine o'clock, saw the same young woman at twelve o'clock, saw her finally at six
in the evening, this time weeping bitterly. On questioning her kindly, she poured
into his ears the tale of Lamb's treachery and deceit. " Oh," said the old man,
" cheer up, my lass. Come home with me to-night, and we'll go over together to
Norham in the morning. Lamb is a friend of mine, a good fellow, but absent-like
in his mind. I'll warrant he's forgotten all about it." This proved to be the case.
Lamb fulfilled his engagement to Miss Nelson and they were married.
The Parish Register of Norham contains the following entry among the mar-
riages.
" 1755, April 11. Robert Lambe, of this parish, in the diocese of Durham,

imprudent sermons at St Mary's, in which he gave the preference to Atheism above
Popery, which I heard, he was called before the Vice- Chancellor, Dr Long, Master
of Pembroke, I think; but would make no submission." (2) An Enquiry into the
Rejection of the Christian Miracles by the Heathen; loherein is shewn the low
opinion they had of Miracles in general, and this accounted for from their situation

with the title Remarks on a late book, entitled. An Enquiry <&c. Bishop Warburton,

book no more spoken of" (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, vi, 471). (3) The moral
Impossibility of conquering England, and the Absurdity of the Dispensing Poicer of

at Ripon, Yorks., where he was in extensive practice, until bad health obliged
him to decline his profession in the prime of life. He was universally beloved
and respected by a very numerous acquaintance. He wrote two Papers in the
Philosophical Transactions -. An Essay on the Force of Percussion (Iviii, 17; Abridge-
ment, xii, 498); Observations on the Aphides of Linnaeus (Ixi, 182; Abridgement, xiii,
120). On the death of his elder brother he succeeded to the family estates, but
continued to live at Ripon, where he died 23 July 1783, and was buried at Cleckheaton
Chapel, where a monument to his memory was erected by his grand-niece Miss Currer,
with the following inscription : "Near tliis place are deposited | the mortal remains of j
William Richardson of Ripon esq., M.D. | He was born Feb. 22, 17^^ | died un-
married at Bipon 1783 | . He was successful in his profession | of strict integrity;
kind to the poor | and iiTeproachable in all the relations of life. His benevo-
lence and meekness of temper | made him beloved in life and lamented in death. |
Above all, he feared God ; and in him | true faith was accompanied by [ Christian
obedience" (Nichols, Illustrations of Literature, i, 234, 242 ; where there is an account
of the family ; pedigrees are also given in Whitaker's Craven, and James, History of
Bradford, 417, and continuation pedigrees iii).
P. 60 no. 28. John Green took the degree of LL.B. in 1735. He was ordained
Deacon 22 December 1734 by the Bishop of St David's, and Priest 21 September 1735
by the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry. He was instituted Eector of Ashton-
upon-Mersey, co. Chester, 23 July 1767, on the presentation of Rosamond Norton,
of Sheffield, widow, and held the living until his death in 1774.
P. 60 no. 29. William Chilcott took the B.D. degree as a 'ten year man' in 1739
and the D.D. in 1745. He was licensed to the perpetual curacy of St Lawrence,
New Brentford, in 1726, and instituted Rector of Stow Maries, Essex, 4 December
1727. He held both livings until his death 19 September 1760 (Gentleman's
Magazine, 1760, p. 490 a; Hennessey, Aovtim Eepertorium, 195, where the date of
his death is given as 24 September, this may be the date of his burial).
P. 60 no. 30. Gilbert Allenson was ordained Deacon 23 September 1733 by the
Bishop of London, and Priest 2 December 1734 by the Bishop of St David's. He
was instituted Rector of Warden, Kent, 15 November 1735 on the presentation of
Diana Hosier, of London, widow of Francis Hosier, esq. He was also instituted
Rector of Little Parndon, Essex, 28 May 1742. He held the latter living until 1767
and the former until 1776. He was appointed by the Brewers' Company Head-
master of Aldenham School in 1738, when he is described as curate of East Church,
Kent. There were constant complaints of his neglect as a schoolmaster, and on
11 March 1757 the Brewers' Company notified the College that they had dismissed
him for neglect of duty (Gibbs, The Registers of Aldenham, Herts., 177-8). See the
admission of his father Part ii, P. 175 no. 34.
P. 60 no. 31. William Burrow was elected a Fellow of the College 11 March
173^. He was ordained Deacon 21 September and Priest (at a special ordination)
28 September 1740 by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was presented by the College on
15 February 1757 to the vicarage of Barrow-upon-Soar, Leicestershire, and instituted
8 March. He was instituted Rector of North Wingfield, Derbyshire, 12 June 1758
in succession to his father. In June 1758 he received a dispensation from the
Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Barrow (valued at £140) with North Wingfield
(valued at £300), the two livings being 24 miles apart. He held both livings until
his death, unmarried, at North Wingfield 9 September 1794, at the age of 83
422 APPENDIX.
{Gentleman's Magazine, 1794, p. 869; Hunter, Familiae Minortim Gentium, Harl.
Soc. Publ. xxxvii, 308, where there is a pedigree). When he was instituted Vicar
of Barrow-upon-Soar he was also licensed by the Bishop of Lincoln to the Free
School of Barrow-upon-Soar 8 March 1757.
P. 60 no. 32. Thomas Bright was ordained Deacon 10 March 173f and licensed
to the curacy of St Michael's in Stamford, he was ordained Priest 20 June 1736 and
licensed next day to the curacy of Spalding, co. Lincoln, all by the Bishop of
Lincoln. He was instituted to the Vicarage of Irthlingborough 13 December 1738,
and to the Vicarage of Higham Ferrers 19 June 1740, both in Northamptonshire ; to
the Rectory of Little Peatling, co. Leicester, 9 November 1741. He ceded all these
on his institution 18 February 174| to the Vicarage of Ecclesfield, Yorks. In the
chancel of Ecclesfield Church is a slab with the following inscription: "Here lieth
the body of the Revd. Thomas Bright, Vicar of Ecclesfield, who departed this life the
23rd day of January 1768, in the 56th year of his age. Also here lieth the body of
Isabella, wife of the aforesaid Thomas Bright, Vicar; who departed this life the
26th day of November 1786, in the 82nd year of her age" (Eastwood, History of the
Parish of Ecclesfield, 208, 249).
In Hunter's History of Hallamshire (ed. Gatty) p. 359 there is a pedigree of
the family of Bright of Netheredge. In this it is stated that the Vicar of Ecclesfield
was the second son of Joseph Bright of Netheredge (third son of Thomas Bright of
Graystones) by Elizabeth, daughter of John Bright of Bannercross. This it will be
observed does not agree with the College Register, where the father's name is given
as Thomas. The age of the Vicar of Ecclesfield agrees with that given for Thomas
Bright in the College Register. One Thomas Bright was instituted Rector of
Eushden, Northamptonshire, 23 July 1745, holding the living until 1752.
P. 60 no. 33. The name of Marmaduke Mower is entered in the Register, but it
seems probable that Marmaduke is a mistake for Edmund. No Marmaduke
Mower matriculated from St John's; while an Edmund Mower signs his name in
the University Book on his matriculation 17 December 1729 and proceeded to the
degree of B.A. in 1732. No Edmund Mower was admitted to the College according
to the Register. Edmund Mower was the second son of Edmund Mower of Newark
by Dorothy, daughter of Josiah Stephenson, of Hay Green, near Barnsley. The father
died 4 December 1719. Dr Pegge relates that George Mower (brother of Edmund
Mower the elder and High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1734) lived long a bachelor and
educated two nephews, Edmund and [Robert], one of these at the University of
Cambridge, the other as an attorney at Doncaster. Edmund Mower (of St John's
College, Cambridge) was ordained Deacon 5 June 1734 and licensed to the curacy of
Manton, co. Lincoln, he was ordained Priest 20 June 1736 and licensed to the
curacy of Lea, co. Lincoln, all by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was licensed by the
Archbishop of York to the curacy of Hayton and was also instituted Vicar of
Clareborough, Notts., 16 March 174^. He died 2 February 1747 (Hunter, Familiae
Minorum Gentium, Harleian Soc. Publ. xxvii, 221, 222, where there is a pedigree).
P. 60 no. 34. No Edmund Ward appears in the printed Graduati, but Marmaduke
Ward appears as B.A. in 1732. It seems clear therefore that the keeper of the
Register has transposed the Christian names of Mower and Ward. Marmaduke
Ward (of St John's College, Cambridge) was ordained Deacon 20 May 1733 and
licensed to the curacy of All Saints in Stamford by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was
instituted Rector of Occold, Suffolk, 27 November 1745, ceding this in 1756. He was
instituted Rector of Swafield, Norfolk, 31 May 1746, and Rector of Beeston-next-the-
Sea, Norfolk, 9 February 1765, he held both until his death 6 February 1772.
He was father of Marmaduke Ward of St John's (B.A. 1772), who was afterwards a
Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford (Foster, Alumni Oxonienses).
P. 60 no. 35. See the admission of the father Part ii, P. 150 no. 17. Henry
Mainwaring was instituted Vicar of Etwall, co. Derby, 8 November 1740. He
was buried at Etwall 4 September 1747. He was also master of Sir John Port's
^Hospital at Etwall from 1740 to 1746 (Ward, History of the Borough of Stoke-
upon-Trent, 519, where there is a pedigree ; Cox, Notes on the Churches of Derbyshire,
iii, 163 ; Notes and Queries, 7th Ser. xii, 303).
P. 60 no. 36. Thomas Horton was instituted Vicar of Beenham, Berks., 12 July
1731, he describes himself in the Subscription Book of the Bishop of Salisbury as
of St John's College. He ceded Beenham on being collated by the Bishop of
APPENDIX. 423
London to the Vicarage of Heston, Middlesex, 21 April 1733 (Hennessey, Novum
Repertorium, 218). He ceded Heston on being instituted Rector of Hascomb,
Surrey, 29 September 1750, on the presentation of Sir John Frederick, bart. He
seems to have resigned Hascomb in 1780. He died 4 November 1791 (Manning,
History of Surrey, ii, 68).
P. 60 no. 37. William Harpur graduated as Harper B.A. 1732, M.A. 1749.
One of these names was instituted Eector of Barwick in Elmet, Yorks., 28 April
1740. He died 14 May 1749 and was buried at Barwick in Elmet 16 May.
P. 60 no. 38. Charles Ward was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of Ely
21 December 1733. One of these names was instituted Vicar of Whittinghame,
Northumberland, 28 October 1763, and held the living until 1773.
P. 60 no. 39. Thomas Gates appears in the printed Graduati as Gatis B.A. 1732,
M.A. 1736. He was ordained Deacon 22 September 1734 by the Bishop of Lincoln
and licensed to the curacy of St Lawrence in Hertford. In 1741 he was appointed
assistant curate of All Saints' Church, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. He was found dead
in the 'Shield Field' (Brand, History of Newcastle, i, 393).
P. 60 no. 40. John Birket, son of John Birket, of Milford, Hants., clerk,
matriculated at Oxford from Queen's College 26 March 1705, aged 15. He was
instituted Rector of Compton Abbas, Dorset, 6 July 1725, and Vicar of lie Brewers,
Somerset, 30 December 1743. He was again instituted Rector of Compton Abbas
27 April 1744. He appears to have held both livings until 1757 (Foster, Alumni
Oxonienses).
P. 60 no. 41. Thomas Roe, the father, was Vicar of Castleton, co. Derby, where
James Roe was baptized 15 July 1711. He was ordained Deacon 12 August 1733
and was licensed next day to be curate of Disley, he was ordained Priest 21 December
1735, all by the Bishop of Chester. He was nominated incumbent of Disley (in
Stockport parish, Cheshire) by Peter Legh of Lyme, Esq., and instituted 31 July
1737. He became incumbent of Macclesfield, Cheshire, where he was instituted
1 May 1756, holding both livings until his death. He married at Sutton, 2 January
1753, Elizabeth Harpur of Macclesfield and by her had several children, some of
whom became distinguished in after-life. He was buried at Macclesfield 12 April
1765. He published at least two sermons during his lifetime. True Religion dx.,
preached at Congleton 1763; The way to enjoy life, a sermon preached in the
parochial Chapelry of Macclesfield, Macclesfield, 1763, 8vo. pp. 32. Both are in the
Portico Library, Manchester, Adlington tracts, vol. Ixxi. After his death a volume
of his sermons. Twenty Sermons, on Several Subjects and Occasions, by James
Roe, M.A., late Minister and Prime Curate of the Parochial Chapel of Macclesfield,
Cheshire, was printed at York and published by subscription in 1766. (Earwaker,
East Cheshire, ii, 99, 506; Earwaker, Local Gleanings, 79.)
P. 61 no. 43. The name should be Agar. William Agar took the B.A. degree
in 1732.
The College Admonition Book, or record of punishments inflicted by the Master
and Seniors, contains the following curious entry: "Cum Gulielmus Agar A.B. per
literas manifeste falsas fidem facere conatus sit, se in Ecclesia Parochiali de
Marske in Com. Ricbmondiae fuisse baptizatum — Decretum est a Magistro et
Senioribus, ut ejusdem G. Agar nomen e tabulis Collegii statim expungeretur. Ita
tester I. Nbwcome."
The certificate was no doubt produced with the object of proving him to be
eligible to some scholarship or fellowship limited to natives of Richmondshire.
In spite of this fault William Agar was ordained Deacon 18 February 173|
and licensed to the curacy of Potton, Beds., he was ordained Priest 21 December
1735 and licensed to the curacy of Wragby, co. Lincoln, all by the Bishop of
Lincoln. He was instituted Rector of Biscathorpe 10 February 173J, Vicar of
North Kelsey, St Nicholas, on the same day, resigning the latter however in 1755.
He was instituted Rector of South Kelsey 1 June 1743, all county Lincoln. He was
Rector of Biscathorpe and South Kelsey at the time of his death in September
1776 {Cambridge Chronicle, 28 September 1776). He was the author of: Military
devotion: or the soldiers duty to God, his prince and his country, containing four-
teen sermons preached at the Camps near Blandford and Dorchester A.D. 1756 and
1757. With an appendix. London, 8vo, n. d, [1758.]
424 APPENDIX.
P. 61 no. 44. The father, WilHam Steer, Vicar of Ecclesfield, was admitted to
the College 14 April 1701 (Part ii, P. 157 no. 27). The son was baptized at
Ecclesfield 4 May 1710. He was ordained Deacon 22 September 1734 by the Bishop
of Lincoln for the Archbishop of York. He was at Wath and Swinton. He died
unmarried in 1771 (Eastwood, History of the Parish of Eccleafield, 207 ; Hunter,
Familiae Minonun Gentium, Harleian Soc. Piihl. xxxviii, 818, where there is a
pedigree).
P. 61 no. 45. Joseph Eyre was ordained Deacon 22 September 1734 and licensed
to the curacy of Sleaford, co. Lincoln, he was ordained Priest 20 June 1736, all by
the Bishop of Lincoln. He was instituted to the Vicarage of Euskington, co.

He was succeeded in both pieces of preferment by his son Joseph Arnall Eyre
(P. 173 no. 28), in the Rectory in May 1780, and in the Vicarage in May 1781.
P. 61 no. (I. Richard Hele, the father, was master of the Choristers School
and prebendary of Salisbury, Vicar of Britford, and author of a well-known work
entitled Devotio7is for the Clergy. He was also author of Select Offices of Private
Devotion, which has been frequently reprinted. Arthur Hele first joined Trinity
College, Oxford, matriculating from there 20 June 1728 (Foster, Alumni Oxonienses).
He was ordained Deacon 9 July 1734 by the Bishop of Salisbury. His earliest
preferment was apparently the curacy of Sidbury in Devonshire. On 18 May 1749
he was elected usher of the Free Grammar (or Holy Ghost) School of Basingstoke,
and on 21 December 1750 obtained from the Corporation a patent of his office for
life "in case he should so long reside within the town, and punctually and duly
attend, and with conduct and diligence discharge his duty as usher of the said
school in teaching and instructing the youths under his care."
In 1750 he published The Four Gospels harmonized, on the title-page of this he
describes himself as ' Master of the Free School in Basingstoke,' but his real title
was usher.
On 12 November 1755 the Bishop of Bath and Wells collated him to the
Vicarage of Corston in Somersetshire. In 1758 he was appointed Master of the
Free Grammar School at Bath, whereupon he resigned the ushership of the Holy
Ghost School, and on 5 October 1762 he was instituted to the Rectory of Charl-
combe, near Bath. On 19 March 1763 he was instituted to the Rectory of Porlock,
in the same county, on the presentation of King George III., and on 23 October
1764 prebendary of Wells Cathedral. He held these preferments up to his death
in April 1778. He was buried at Corston on 30 April 1778 as ' Vicar of this parish.'
His tomb in the churchyard has been neglected, and the inscription much defaced.
All that remains is: "Beneath this tomb is interred the [body of the Rev.] Arthur
Hele [M.A. Vicar of this Parish, and Rector of the] Parish Church of Charlcombe,
[and of] Porlock, [Prebendary of the] Cathedral Church of Wells, and f [or nearly]
twenty years Master of the Grammar School, in the City of Bath. [A man] of
inflexible integrity in all his dealings [with] an openhearted hospitality towards
[all his friends and] acquaintances " The words in brackets are conjectures
for tilling up the blanks (Hardy's Le Neve, i, 209 ; Baigent and Millard, Histoi-y of
the Town and Manor of Basingstoke, 154, 690, 714-5).
The character of Thwackum in Fielding's Tom Jones is said to have been drawn
from Mr Richard Hele (Hoare, History of Modern Wiltshire, 602).
P. 61 no. 1. Sir John Williams, the father, was probably the person of that
name, a Director of the South Sea Company, who was knighted at Kensington on
presenting an address from that Company 23 June 1713 (Le Neve, Pedigrees of
Knights, Harl. Soc. Publ. viii, 509). Sir John Williams, knight, of Stoke juxta
Nayland, co. Suffolk, was returned as M.P. for Aldeburgh, Suffolk, 5 May 1730.

5840, p. 56) : " John Lord, A.B., instituted 28 July 1740 on the presentation of John
Lord, Rector of Toddington, in Bedfordshire, who purchased the perpetual ad-

Dr Romaine (Gentleman's Magazine, 1795, p. 876). He died at Pangbourne
20 June 1796. "He was particularly distinguished for the virtues of a good
heart, which were exhibited by him as a steady and true friend, a charitable bene-
factor, and a sincere Christian pastor " (Gentleman's Magazine, 1796, p. 616 b).
P. 62 no. 6. The name should apparently be Jacob Savignac. He did not

of Lincoln. He was ordained Priest 5 June 1737 by the Bishop of Rochester. He
was instituted Rector of Snelland, co. Lincoln, 14 May 1748, and held the living
until 1747. The Parish Register of St Swithin's Church in Lincoln has the fol-

of the Baron correspond with those of the member of St John's.
P. 62 no. 11. Thomas Gierke was admitted Fellow of the College 25 March
1735.
William Cole in his MSS. collections (MSS. Cole xxiii, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS.
5824, fol. 110 6) has transcribed a letter to him from W. Heberden relating to
Thomas Baker, dated Pall Mall, 13 October 1777. In this occurs the passage,
" Mr Thomas Gierke, A.M. and Fellow of St John's, and afterwards called to the
Bar, spoke a Latin oration in the Chapel at Mr Baker's Funeral."
This identifies the member of the College with Thomas Gierke, son and heir
of the Keverend Thomas Gierke, of Beckenham, Kent, who was admitted a student
of the Middle Temple 18 June 1743, and called to the Bar 23 November 1744.

Cole in his manuscript Collections (MSS. Cole xxx, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5831,
fol. 161 b) quotes from The Whitehall Evening Post of 5 June 1766 an account of
Squire, which after giving an account of his preferments and writings concludes as
follows : " Of the late Bishop Squire it may be truly said, that as a parish minister,
even after his advancement to the Mitre, he was most conscientiously diligent in
the duties of his functions ; and that as a Prelate, in his frequent visits to his
See, though he held it but five years, he sought out and promoted the friendless
and deserving, in preference frequently to powerful recommendations, and exercised
the hospitality of a Christian Bishop. In private life, as a parent, husband, friend
and master, no man was more beloved or more lamented." To this Cole adds:
"Dr Squire's father was Archdeacon of Wells, if I mistake not: he was often at
Cambridge with his daughter, the wife of Dr Whalley, Master of Peterhouse, at
his Lodge, and was so horribly afflicted with the stone, as to travel about no other
way than in a horse-litter, as I have met him frequently." [It will be observed
that Cole is mistaken as to the Bishop's parentage. There is no account of an
Archdeacon of Wells of the name of Squire. Francis Squire was Chancellor of
Bath and Wells, he was of Merton College, Oxford, and M.A. of St John's College,
Cambridge, Foster, Alumni Oxonienses, see also this Admission Register, Part ii,
P. 218 no. 22. According to another note of Cole's in his collections for an
Athenae Cantabrigienses, MSS. Cole Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5880, p. 145, it was
the daughter of this Francis Squire who married Dr Whalley]. " The son, as I
was told by a contemporary of his at College, Mr John Lord, now Eector of Drayton
Parslow in Bucks. , was a most haughty proud man, while a scholar at the Univer-
sity, as he told me since the Bishop's death. My personal acquaintance with him
was so small that I can say nothing of him positively, of my own knowledge,
except that he was a handsome, black man, and very upright. And that, although
he was reckoned very ingenious, as his ' Indifference for Keligion Inexcusable '
evidently shews, as does also his Sermon on Inoculation, yet he was then rather
reckoned plodding and laborious, than lively or ingenious. I take it, his great
merit was his activity in the Duke of Newcastle's interest, and being nephew to
Dr Newcome, and brother-in-law to Dr Whalley, both Heads of Houses, a great
Article in the Ladder of Preferment in these days ; both which Heads longed
greatly for the Mitre which luckily fell upon Dr Squire's head. Certain it is few
people were more generally disliked in the University, or worse spoken of, while
I was a member thereof, than this person, which also unluckily stuck to him after
he left it and had got a Mitre on his head, notwithstanding the panegyric bestowed
on him above, but how deservedly I won't pretend to say. The good luck of falling
into an easy track of preferment before others, who think themselves as well merit-
ing of it, often is the occasion of envy and detraction. This might be Dr Squire's
case with his maligners, who were apt to accuse him of low, dirty servility in at-
taining these honours, which it is probable they themselves would have thought
themselves happy in arriving to, by the same, if not more servile behaviour."
Squire's dark complexion procured him in College conversation, and in the
squibs of the time, the nickname of " The Man of Angola." Dr Dodd, who had
been bis chaplain, had a high opinion of him (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, ii, 348
-9, n). When William Warburton was made a Bishop, there were two expectants
of his Deanery of Bristol. Josiah Tucker (afterwards Dean of Gloucester) of
Bristol, who had done many things in regard to trade, for which he was caressed
by the people of Bristol. Dr Squire was the other, who got the Deanery. War-
burton said, " One of them made Trade his Behgion, the other Eeligion his Trade"
(Nichols, Literary Illustrations, ii, 55).
In the year 1750 certain sumptuary and disciplinary rules with regard to persons
APPENDIX. 429
in statu pupillari passed the Senate and were approved by the Duke of Newcastle
as Chancellor of the University. These caused great heat and animosity in the
University, and gave rise to a large number of skits and protests (Cooper, Annals
of Cambridge, iv, 278 — 280). Squire was prominently identified with the unpopular
legislation, either because he took an active part in promoting it, or because as
Chaplain and Private Secretary to the Chancellor he was the channel through
which the rules came. In A Fragment, attributed to the Rev. Henry Stebbing,
Fellow of Catherine Hall, he is referred to as Dr Squirt in no complimentary terms
{A Fragment, p. 19). And in A Key to the Fragment by Amias Riddinge, B.D.
{i.e. Dr King of St Mary's Hall, Oxford), chapter iv, entitled Of Dr Squirt, com-
mences as follows: "This is one Samuel Squib, a furious fanatic preacher, and
Sir Thomas Duke's {i.e. the Chancellor's) Chaplain ; to which post he recommended
himself by that kind of parasitical impudence and adulation, which is generally
successful in the houses of great men. Squib is a great pretender to learning
of all sorts. He would persuade you, that he is the most sagacious antiquary
of the Age, and that no man living is better versed in Natural Philosophy, and
the Belles Lettres. But he would be chiefly renowned for his extraordinary skill
in criticism, in which, according to his own estimation of himself, he far excels
all the Scaligers, Casaubons, Salmasius's, &c. He afiBrms, that none of the old
philosophers understood their own systems, or the Greek poets their own language ;
and be has published a Treatise on purpose to prove, that neither Terence, Cicero,
or Virgil, could write Latin : By which indeed he hath sufficiently proved, that the
author of that treatise cannot write English, For, besides that Squib has no
knowledge of the matter about which he writes, he is greatly defective in the
proprieties of style and grammar. A very learned and ingenious gentleman, a
member of one of the Universities [presumably John Taylor of St John's, P. 27
no. 29 is here meant], published a few years since an elaborate Dissertation on
the inscription of a famous Grecian marble, which had been brought from Athens.
This work was much admired by all persons of good literature; which Squib
observing, immediately claimed the merit of it, as the real author, although he
had permitted another man, for some particular reasons, to affix his name to the
book. And this he did not scruple to affirm, in the presence of several gentlemen,
who were well acquainted with his abilities, and knew he was scarce able to read
a line in the work, of which he pretended to be the writer. In short, our Squib
is a composition of malice, ignorance and impudence; qualities indeed which have
been very useful to him in these iniquitous times. For he hath raised himself, like
many others of his birth and education, to a great fortune, and possesses at this day
about £1000 a year in Church lands. But notwithstanding his wealth and the
dignity of his post, Squib is not much respected even by his own party. For he is
an eternal talker, and his discourse is a rhapsody of nonsense and blunders." See
also Dictionary of National Biography ; History of St John's College, ii, 709. In
MSS. Cole xxvi, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5827, fol. 104 b. Cole has further notes
on Squire. "He gave for arms. Sable three swans' necks crossed, argent. His
Lordship died at his house in Harley Street on Wednesday evening about 8 o'clock,
after a short illness, May 7, 1776. The occasion of his death was his catching a
fever from a son coming home from Marybone schole. He left a widow and four
or five children. See a dedication to him from his chaplain, Mr Dodd, before his
edition of the Bible with notes, where is a very good character of him ; different
from the abuse in the public prints in the spring of 1764."

who departed this life the 4th of June 1766, aged 54 years. And also Anne his
first wife, who died May 20, 1763, in the 52 year of her age. This stone was
laid by his surviving widow. Also 'Ann' his second wife, who died Sept. 1, 1775,

He was educated at Oswestry School, and after taking his degree at Oxford was
for some time an usher in that school. He was early taken notice of by that great
encourager of learning, Bishop Hare of St Asaph, who presented him first to
Llanyblodwell, and afterwards to Llanhaiadr (or Llanrhayader), where he lived and
died. As he never could be prevailed upon to take two livings, Bishop Hare gave
him a stall at St Asaph, and a sinecure " to enable him," he said, " to support his
charities " ; for charitable he was in an eminent degree. He was also chaplain to
Archbishop Drummond of York for several years (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, iii,
57, 244). Dr Worthington was author of the following works: (i) An Essay on the

Edern, receiving a dispensation 6 February 1755 to hold Dolgelly, valued at £140,
with Aber, the two livings being 28 miles apart. He was instituted Rector of
Llanllechid, co. Carnarvon, 15 December 1759, then ceding Dolgelly, receiving a

P. 65 no. 8. Benjamin Topham was ordained Priest 17 June 1739 by the Bishop
of Lincoln and licensed to the curacy of Kensworth, Herts. One of these names
was instituted Rector of Dunnington, Yorks., 19 February 1754, and held the living
until 1776. The Parish Register of Linton in Craven has the following entry:
"Benjamin, son of Mr Christopher Topham, Grissington,baptizedl4November 1712."
P. 65 no. 9. See the admission of the father, Part ii, P. 149 no. 11. Pawlet
St John, the younger, was admitted a Fellow of the College 29 March 1737; his
Fellowship was filled up again 14 March 174f . He was ordained Deacon 15 March
173f, and Priest 17 June 1739. by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was instituted Vicar
of Melchbourne, Beds., 2 July 1742, holding the living until his death. He died
5 April 1775 at Wellingborough, Northamptonshire [Gentleman'' s Magazine, 1775,
p. 207). His widow died 27 May 1804 at Stamford {ihid., 1804, p. 599).
Mr St John's library was sold in 1776 by Thomas Payne at the Mews Gate
(Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, iii, 656). Cole has the following note on him (MSS.
Cole xxvi, fol. 916, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5827) :—" Pawlet St John of Welling-
borough was Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge, in my time, from whence he
was rusticated for some abusive behaviour to the late Master, Dr Newcome, who
it was thought, turned his coat to the Court Party soon after he was Master of the
College; a blemish which Mr St John's high, warm, Tory principles could not
forgive. He is a very worthy, good-tempered man, and smally beneficed in Bedford-
shire, marrying the daughter of Mr Hawley of Wellingborough, whose other
daughter and co-heire married my neighbour, Mr Thomas Troutbeck, Rector of
Woughton, near Fenny Stratford, and had 2 or £3000 with each of their wives.
Mr Troutbeck's proves a barren one, but Mrs St John dying about 1763 of a con-
sumption left six daughters behind her. Mr St John's mother lived at Cambridge
after Dr St John, her husband's death, with her mother Mrs Heyhoe, leaving
Mr St John at her death in 1764 an handsome addition to his fortune. The son
inherits unluckily the warm party zeal of his father at a time when party
distinctions of that sort between the houses of Steward [sic) and Hanover seem to
be quite buried. When Dr St John exerted himself that way fortunes were to be
made by it, now it only serves to make a man ridiculous."
P. 65 no. 10. Anthony James, eldest son of the Reverend David James, Rector
of Eloughton, Bucks., was admitted a student of Lincoln's Inn 6 July 1731, and
was called to the Bar 25 June 1736. He then changed his name to Keck, and was
called to the Bench of his Inn 14 June 1754 as Keck. He became Serjeant-at-law
6 February 1759.
Anthony James's (or Keek's) mother Martha was a daughter of Anthony Keck.
On the death of his grandfather (22 November 1736) he assumed in 1737 the name
and arms of Keck. His first wife, Ann Busby, through her mother, one of the
daughters of Sir Henry Beaumont, bart., became heiress of Staughton Grange,
CO. Leicester. She was buried at Staughton.
APPENDIX. 433
Anthony Keck was returned as M.P. for the Borough of New Woodstock, co.
Oxford, 31 March 1753 (a by-election), 13 April 1754 and 27 March 1761, he died
before 2 June 1767 (Burke, Landed Gentry, Powys-Keck of Staughton Grange;

P. 66 no. 11. Gustavus Broughton was ordained Deacon 19 September 1736,
and licensed to the curacy of Nocton, co. Lincoln, and Priest 28 May 1738, all by
the Bishop of Lincoln. He was instituted Vicar of St Martin's in the town of
Leicester 15 May 1740, and held the living until 1753. In the church of Newark-
upon-Trent there is a monument to his memory with the following inscription :
" To the memory of | Gustavus Broughton, A.M. | who died Nov. 17th 1760, and
in the 47th year of his age. | He finished his education in St John's College in
Cambridge | in which place he acquired as much learning as was | required either
for a Divine or a Gentleman. | As a worthy man in the former character few were
his superiors, | and to be his equal in the latter would not be a disgrace | even to
the most accomplished. | He was for some time Vicar of St Martin's in Leicester, |
where he did the duties of his functions in such a manner | that he gave satisfaction
to all, as well as instruction to many | of his numerous parishioners. | In his
private life, whether as a christian, a husband, or a | friend, no man could be
more truly pious, | affectionate or sincere. | His charities were as extensive as his
income would allow ; | but had they been as large as the benevolence of his heart, |
few would have left greater monuments of true generosity than he. | The concern
of his disconsolate widow plainly testifies to the | world, the loss she has sustained
in the best of husbands | and the best of friends. | And to pay the last duties to
his remains has caused this | monument to be erected ; | Tho' his virtues are
suflSciently known and revered by his | surviving friends, yet it is hoped the latest
posterity may profit, | should they copy after this just character of so worthy a
man " (B, P. Shelton, History of the Town of Newark-upon-Trtnt, i, 186). In the
same church are monuments to the memory of his widow, Mary Broughton, who
died 17 March 1763, aged 42 ; to his father, Edward Broughton, M.A. (probably of
Emmanuel College, B.A. 1706), who died 6 January 1745, aged 59; and to a brother,
Edmund Broughton (ibid., 187, 188).
P. 66 no. 12. William Thornton, the father, was knighted at St James's 11 May
1707 on his presenting the address from the County of York on the union of England
and Scotland (Le Neve, Pedigrees of Knights, Harl. Soc. Publ. viii, 496). William
Thornton, the younger, was perhaps the person of that name who was returned as
M.P. for the City of York 27 June 1747, and again at a by-election 1 December
1758. This William Thornton, at the outbreak of the rebellion of 1745, raised
a company of 70 men which he paid and clothed entirely at his own expense ; and
marched with them into Scotland, where he joined the army of the Duke of Cumber-
land, and was present at the battle of Falkirk ; upon all occasions he received every
respect and attention from the Duke ; and, upon his return, was presented by the
town of Knaresborough with a magnificent piece of plate. After this he accompanied
the King into Hanover, where he offered to make him a baronet, but he refused to
accept the honour. On the establishment of the mihtia (of which it is stated in
Smollett's History of England, he was first proposer) he was appointed to the
command of one of the West Riding regiments (the Yorkshire regiment) which was
the first completed of any in the county. He was a magistrate for the West Biding
(Bean, The Parliamentary Representation of the Six Northern Counties of England,
1133-4).
P. 66 no. 13. Robert Robinson was admitted a Fellow of the College 29 March
1737, became a Senior Fellow 9 October 1756, and remained a Fellow until his
death. He was ordained Deacon 5 June 1737, and Priest 24 September 1738, by
the Bishop of Lincoln. He was nominated by the College to be Head-master of
Pocklington School 25 February 17J^ ; he resigned this in 1748. He was instituted
Rector of Harswell, Yorks., 18 June 1755, and held the living until his death.
One Robert Robinson was instituted Rector of Lea, co. Lincoln, 5 May 1743, his
successor was instituted 16 July 1745. On 21 July 1764 Robinson was presented
by the College to the Rectory of Ufford, Northamptonshire. He however delayed
institution and ultimately returned his presentation. It is probable that he tried
to get a dispensation to hold Ufford with Harswell, and failed. The following
434 APPENDIX.
orders were made by the Master and Seniors: "(i) 29 September 1764, Agreed to
send a messenger to Mr Robinson of Pocklington to acquaint him by a letter that
the Master and Seniors unanimously refuse to revoke his presentation to Ufford ;
(ii) 9 October 1764, Agreed to send Mr Liidlam and Mr Gunning to the Bisbop
of Peterborough, requesting longer time for the disposal of the living of Ufford,
Mr Eobinson having unexpectedly returned his presentation to that Rectory ;
(iii) 28 January 1765, Agreed that Mr Robinson did enter upon his year of grace
the 11th of this month, and that we will send him the offer of our recommendation
to the Bishop of Peterborough for the living of Ufford now lapsed ; (iv) Agreed that
Dr Bettesworth be retained as advocate for the College in the case about Mr Robin-
son's Fellowship in case of any dispute between him and the College ; (v) 28 January
1765, Agreed upon consideration of the Statutes that Mr Robinson is not in his
year of grace, but that his refusal to proceed to take institution to the Living of
Ufford, to which at his own desire he had been presented by the College, and had
kept his presentation about two months is a sufficient reason for not offering him
the next two livings which shall fall, and for requiring his positive answer with
respect to any other living within a month after it shall be declared vacant in the
Hall."
In explanation of these orders it may be stated that the official intimation of
the vacancy of a College living was made by a notice read out by the Butler at the
Fellows' table in Hall on three successive days. The ' year of grace ' was the year
during which a Fellow, who had been presented to a College living, held his
fellowship. This was usually taken to commence with the day of institution.
The College seems to have tried in this case to make it commence six months after
the date on which the presentation was presumably in Mr Robinson's hands, but
(perhaps after taking the opinion of Dr Bettesworth) withdrew from this. The
Bishop of Peterborough seems to have been persuaded that the lapse was no fault
of the College for he consented to collate the College nominee, and did collate
Stuart Gunning.
Nothing more with regard to Robert Robinson appears in the College books.
He died at Pocklington 1 September 1791, aged 77, being then Senior Fellow and
Rector of Harswell {Cambridge Chronicle, 10 September 1791 ; Gentleman's Magazine,
1791, p. 875&).
P. 65 no. 14. The Parish Begister of St Peter's Church, Cambridge, contains
the following entry: "1737. John Sayers of St John's College by the Bishop's
permission was baptized June 5, aged 22." One of these names was instituted
Rector of Weston Turville, Bucks., 5 May 1741, and held the living until 1747.
P. 65 no. 16. Daniel Austin was admitted a Fellow of the College 21 March
173|, his fellowship was filled up again in 1748. He was ordained Deacon
23 December 1739 by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was instituted Rector of
Berrington, Salop, 11 August 1743, and held the living until 1787. His daughter
Anne married her cousin, Jonatban Scott, D.C.L., of Shrewsbury, an Oriental
scholar, and Professor at the Royal Military and East India Colleges (Gentleman's
Magazine, 1829, i, 471 & ; Annual Biography, 1830; Foster, Alumni Oxonienses).
P. 65 no. 16. Ralph Creyke, the father, was married in York Minster 1 August
1700 to Priscilla Bower of Burlington Key. John Creyke, his son, who was born
29 April 1713, was ordained Deacon 20 June 1736, and licensed to the curacy of
Great Staughton, Beds., and Priest 5 June 1737 (with letters dimissory from the
Bishop of Ely), all by the Bishop of Lincoln. He had an order from the Archbishop
of Canterbury for a Sequestration to be granted to him of the Vicarage of Chilham,
with the Chapel of Molash annexed, in Kent, 20 September 1737. He was in-
stituted Vicar of Eastwell, Kent, 3 June 1742, on the presentation of Daniel, Earl
of Winchelsea and Nottingham. He married Catherine Austin, and died in 1745
(Hunter, Familiae Minorum Gentium, Harleian Soc. Publ. xxxix, 952, where there
is a pedigree ; Nichols, Literary Illustrations, ii, 773, note). Foster (Pedigrees of
the County Families of Yorkshire) describes him as of Burleigh-on-the-Hill, co.
Rutland. John Creyke was instituted Rector there 15 December 1744, William
Hardy, his successor, was instituted 22 June 1747. Burke (Landed Gentry, Creyke
of Rawcliffe and Marton) describes him as Rector of Leven in Holderness, but this
is a mistake, for John Creyke who was Rector of Leven was instituted 19 March
171|, and his successor was instituted 6 May 1716.
P. 66 no. 17. Henry Churchill, the father, was Rector of Hammoon from 1711

to 1719. Henry, son of Henry and Jane Churchill, was born 4 November, and
baptized 4 December 1711 at Hammoon (Hutchins, Histori/ of Dorset, i, 274). He
was buried 26 July 1732 {Parish Register of All Saints', Cambridge). See the
admission of a brother P. 72 no. 10.
P. 66 no. 18. Herbert Leek was ordained Deacon 2 March 173|, and licensed
to the curacy of Branston, co. Lincoln, he was ordained Priest 21 December 1735,
all by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was instituted Vicar of Aubourn, co. Lincoln,
22 December 1735, on the presentation of Christopher Neville, of Willingore, co.
Lincoln, he held the living until 1772.
P. 66 no. 19. This is no doubt the George Grey, son and heir apparent of
George Grey, of the city of Newcastle-on-Tyne, esquire, who was admitted a student
of Lincoln's Inn 26 October 1731.
P. 66 no. 20. John Warcopp was ordained Deacon 28 May 1738 ("by the
Bishop's title") and Priest 1 June 1740 by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was of
Gatonby, and was incumbent of St Andrew's, Auckland, and Rector of Coniscliffe
(to which he was instituted 12 October 1751) in the county of Durham. He
resigned his incumbency of St Andrew's, Auckland, into the hands of the Bishop
of Durham 7 October 1756. On succeeding to a good estate he resigned Coniscliffe
to his curate in 1782. He was a good scholar, and possessed a fund of anecdote,
and a Bibliomania seized him after it was past his power to read. He died
at Heighington, co. Durham, in 1786, and lies buried there (Nichols, Literary
Anecdotes, viii, 330).
P. 66 no. 21. The Eev. J. Ingle Dredge, Rector of Buckland Brewer, Devon,
sends the following notes : " 1738. The ReV Mr Charles Morgan & Mrs Jane Rolle
Both Inhabitants of this Parish were marryed in y* Parish Church of Petrockstow
18 April ; 1739. Mary y« daughter of y" Rev'' Mr Charles Morgan and Jane
baptized 22 May."
(Both entries in Merton Parish Register. I find no proof that be was Rector of
Merton, and suppose that for a time he was Curate, he being described as an ' In-
habitant.')
One Rev. Charles Morgan was presented to the ninth Prebendal Stall in Durham
Cathedral 19 February 1762 (Hardy's Le Neve, iii, 317). This Charles Morgan,
being then Prebendary of Durham and Rector of Houghton near Darlington, died
27 June 1764 {Gentleman's Magazine, 1764, p. 350).
P. 66 no. 22. Edmund Mapletoft, the father, was a member of the College
(Part ii, P. 166 no. 21). Edmund Mapletoft, the younger, was instituted Vicar of
Pampisford, Cambridgeshire, 24 January 1744. He succeeded his fatlier as Rector
of Bartlow, being instituted there 27 September 1750. Cole states that within the
rails of the altar of Bartlow church is a stone with this inscription: " Here lieth the
Body of I Mary the wife of | Edmund Mapletoft | Rector of this parish | who died
December 28, 1769 | aged 50 years." Cole adds : this was the wife of the present
Rector, who is much afflicted with gout (MSS. Cole xlii, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS.
5843, p. 236). In the Cambridge Chronicle of Saturday 16 May 1772 occurs the
following : "Last week died at Bartlow the Rev. Mr Mapletoft, many years Rector
of that parish and Vicar of Pampisford."
Cole has the following rather confused note (MSS. Cole xviii, Brit. Mus. AddL
MSS. 5819, fol. 156a, 157a): "One of my aunts married an Adams who had two
Dauters Margaret and Elizabeth, who I remember. The youngest married one
John Starling a Maltster at Pampisford in Cambridgeshire. The eldest, who was
crooked, married into Hertfordshire to one Jermyn. Their brothers I never saw.
One of them has a son now Rector of Widdington near Newport in Essex married
to a dauter of the late Mr Mapletoft Rector of Bartlow in Cambridgeshire ; whose
brother is now Rector of the same parish, where he succeeded his father, being
patrons of the Living and Lords of the Manor. Another brother of Mrs Adams,
Matthew Mapletoft, a very hoi^eful young man, was my curate at Hornsey in
Middlesex, where he died of the small pox" (see P. 96 no. 14).
P. 66 no. 23. This is the Thomas Robinson, second son of Matthew Robinson
of Edgley, co. York, esquire, who was admitted a student of Lincoln's Inn 14 April
1730, and was called to the Bar 5 February 173f. He died 29 December 1747.
He was the author of The Common Law of Kent, or the Customs of Gavelkind.

dedicated to Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. It has been twice reprinted and edited,
in 1822 at London and in 1858 at Ashford. The copy of the work in the College

brigienses D. D. Eruditus autor ejusdem Collegii olim alumnus."

John Oliver was instituted Bector of Tuddenham 6 June 1749, and Rector of
Icklingham St James 6 March 1767, both co. Suffolk. Both livings were vacant in

the Prebend of Decern Librarum in Lincoln Cathedral, being collated 4 May and
installed 1 July 1762, he died in 1788 (Hardy's Le Neve, ii, 143).

to the curacy of Astwood, Bucks, the next day, he was ordained Priest 24 Sep-
tember 1738, all by the JBishop of Lincoln. He was admitted a Fellow of the
College 29 March 1737, and his fellowship was filled up again in 1747. He was
Senior Proctor of the University 1744-5. He was nominated by the College to be
Head-Master of Sedbergh School 12 April 1746, and was master there for 36 years.
He married at Firbank 17 February 174f Eachel, daughter of Dr Samuel Saunders,
a former Head-Master of Sedbergh. The Parish Register of Sedbergh records the
following with regard to their children : Catherine, born 19 December 1747 ;
Samuel, baptized 21 March 1750 ; Margaret, baptized 29 March 1751, and Thomas
Saunders 28 April 1761. He was also Vicar of Sedbergh from 1746 to 1754. For
some time at least he was a successful master, but during the last ten years of his
office the school fell off much in numbers. His portrait was painted by Romney,
and the Editor of the Sedbergh School Register, pp. 419-20, prints a very extra-
ordinary letter from Bateman to Romney on the subject of the picture, the charge
for which was but two guineas. Dr Bateman was buried at Sedbergh, and in the
church there there is a monument with the following inscription : " Sacred to the
memory of the Rev*^. Posthumous Wharton, descended from the family of Wharton
Hall, and Maiy his wife, daughter of Sir John and Lady Otway. She died at Thorns,
Sept. 7, 1690, aged 31. And he, after having been master of the Free School

D.D., also master of the said school for au equal period of time, and Vicar of
Wheldon and Hutton Bushel in the county. He died (and lies buried in West-
minster) Nov. the 1st, 1741, aged 58 ; she, June 6th, 1776, aged 86. They had two
daughters, the elder of whom, Margaret, died unmarried, on the 18th of April, 1750,
aged 36 : the other, ■ who caused this monument to be erected, married to Wynne
Bateman, D.D., also master for six and thirty years of the said school, and with
what success and credit he discharged that ofKce, let his scholars dispersed through
the world, say for him. He died, May the 17th, 1782, aged 68. Rachel, his widow,
younger daughter of the aforesaid Samuel Saunders, died much lamented, Aug. 20,
1802, aged 86" (Piatt, History of the Parish and Grammar School of Sedbergh, 152-
155; Sedbergh School Register). Dr Bateman had copies of verses in the Cambridge
Collections published in 1733 on the occasion of the marriage of Anne, daughter of
George II., and in 1736 on the marriage of Frederick, Prince of Wales. He pub-

he obtained a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold both livings,
then stated to be of the respective values of £127 and £90, and to be 12 miles apart.
On the floor of the chancel of the church of Weston-upon-Trent is a stone with
440 APPENDIX.
this inscription : ' ' Here rest the remains of the Eeverend John Holden A.M. late

charge of his Pastoral Office he was eminently vigilant, and faithful to his trust;
was greatly beloved by his Parishioners, valuable as a friend, and died July the

P. 69 no. 18. John Brown, the father, was descended from the Browns of
Colston, near Haddington, a Scotch episcopalian family. He was a native of Duns,
studied physic at Edinburgh, but changing his purpose was ordained by one of the
Scotch bishops. He became curate of Rothbury, where his son was born, and was
collated 29 December 1715 to the Vicarage of Wigton in Cumberland. John
Brown, his son, took his degree as a wrangler in 173| , it has been stated that he
was senior of his year. He was ordained Deacon 26 February 173| in the chapel
at Rose Castle ; on 14 December 1739 he was admitted or licensed to perform the
office of Lecturer in the Cathedral of Carlisle, on 23 December 1739 he was ordained
Priest, all by the Bishop of Carlisle ; he was also a Minor Canon of Carlisle. He
was instituted Vicar of Morland, co. Westmorland, 6 June 1743, on the presenta-
tion of the Dean and Chapter of Carlisle. Dr Richard Osbaldistone (Part ii, P. 185
no. 36), when he became Bishop of Carlisle, appointed Brown to be one of his
Chaplains. He was collated Vicar of Lazonby, co. Cumberland, 8 April 1752.
On 18 March 1752 he received a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury
to hold Morland with Lazonby, the value of each benefice being stated as £80,
and the distance between them fifteen miles. He was instituted Rector of Great
Horkesley, Essex, 20 November 1756, then ceding Morland, but being again insti-
tuted Vicar of Lazonby 28 April 1757. He was presented to Horkesley by the Earl
of Hardwicke, but owing to a quarrel with the Yorke family found it advisable to
get a move. He was instituted Vicar of St Nicholas, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 10
December 1760, then ceding Horkesley. He held St Nicholas until his death, but
seems to have resigned the Vicarage of Lazonby in 1763.
During the Rebellion of 1745 he distinguished himself by his zeal for the
Government and acted as a volunteer at the siege of Carlisle. In 1746 he preached
in the Cathedral two sermons on the mutual connexion between religious truth and
civil liberty, and between superstition, tyranny, irreligion and licentiousness.
These were afterwards published in his collected sermons. Cole in his collections
for an Athenae Cantabrigienses (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5864) writes of Brown:
" I remember to have seen him in a surplice in the cathedral at Carhsle about
the year 1746, but in what capacity I don't remember, no more than his College,
though I well remember his face in the University." It is stated that Brown
resigned his Minor Canonry under the following circumstances. One day in
divine service he accidentally omitted the Athanasian Creed. The Chapter re-
proved him for his neglect in terms to which he did not choose to submit,
therefore on the following Sunday, he read the Creed out of course to vindicate
his orthodoxy and immediately resigned his office. During his residence at Carlisle
he published Honour, a Poem, dedicated to Viscount Lonsdale. On the death of
Pope he wrote an Essay on Satire, this was addressed to Dr William Warburton,
who inserted it in his edition of Pope's works. It has also been printed in
Dodsley's collection. Warburton entered into friendly relations with Brown, who
thus became acquainted with Ralph Allen, of Prior Park, near Bath, to whom he
paid a visit. While there he preached in the Abbey Church on 22 May 1750.
APPENDIX. 441
The sermon was published and entitled : On the pursuit of false pleasures and the
mischiefs of immoderate gaming, 1750, 8vo. In the preface Brown was able to
announce that in consequence of this sermon the magistrates of Bath had sup-
pressed the public gaming tables soon after its delivery. In 1751 he published
Essays on the Characteristics of the Earl of Shaftesbury. This seems to have been
written at the suggestion of Warburton (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, ii, 212). It
was dedicated to Ralph Allen. It created a considerable stir, and was both praised
and criticised, the book sold well and a fifth edition was published in 1764. In
1755 he wrote Barbarossa, a tragedy ; in the preparation of the plot of this he
was assisted by David Garrick, who wrote a prologue and epilogue to the piece,
which was acted in 1755; it seems to have attained a fair amount of success.
Brown followed it up with Athelstan, a tragedy, in 1756, in which Garrick also
acted, but it was not so successful as his first venture (T. Davies, Life of David
Garrick, i, 19&-200). Both plays were printed by Bowyer but without the author's
name. In 1755 he took the I).D. degree at Cambridge, when he preached a sermon
to prove that Tyranny was productive of Superstition and Superstition of Tyranny ;
that Debauchery was the cause of Free-thinking and Free-thinking of Debauchery
(Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, ii, 213). His play writing did not please Warburton,
who was grieved " that his love of poetry, or his love of money, should have made
him overlook the duty of a clergyman in these times, and the dignity of a clergy-
man in all times, to make connexions with players" (Nichols, I.e.).
In 1757 Brown published his Estimate of the Manners and Principles of the
Times, London, 1757. This was his most successful work, running through seven
editions in one year. His design was to shew that luxury and effeminacy were
characteristic of the age, and to point out the effect of these, it was a strong
philippic against the vices of the times. The nation was disgusted with recent
failures in its enterprises, so that the book was well-timed. According to Voltaire
it so stirred the nation that it at one and the same time attacked all the sea-
coasts of France, and all her possessions in Asia, Africa, and America (Smollett's
Voltaire, xxii, 183). The book was attacked and defended ; a second volume was
issued in 1758' and in 1760 it was again issued with an Explanatory Defence,
The success of the Estimate greatly elated Brown. Warburton in September 1757,
describes him as " rather perter than ordinary, but no wiser " (Nichols, I. c). The
Estimate was translated into French with the title: Les moeurs anglaises, ou ap-
preciation des moeurs et des principes qui caracterisent actuellement la nation
Britannique, C. Chais, La Haye, 1758. Brown continued his literary activity and
published the following: Dialogues of the Dead, between Pericles and Aristides,
1760 ; On the national duty of a personal service, in defence of ourselves and country ;
a Sermon [1 Cor. xii, 24, 25] preached at St Nicholas' Church, Newcastle, an occasion
of a late dangerous insurrection at Hexham. To which is prefixed a short and
authentic account of the insurrection, 1761, 8vo. ; Dissertation on the rise, union, and
power, the progressions, separations, and corruptions of poetry and musick. To
which is prefixed the Cure of Saul, a sacred ode, 1763, 4to. ; Sermons on Religious
Liberty. To which is prefixed. An address to the principal inhabitants of the North-
American colonies on occasion of the Peace, 1763, 4to. ; History of the rise and
progress of poetry through several species, 1764, 8vo. ; Twelve Sermons, 1764 ; Thoughts
on civil liberty, licentiousness and faction, 1765 ; A sermon on the female character
and education [Ps. cxliv, 12], 1765, 4to. ; A letter to tlie Rev. Dr Lowth, occasioned
by his last letter to the Right Rev. author of the Divine Legation of Moses.
He is also said to have assisted Charles Avison in An Essay on Musical Ex-
pression, 1751. Avison was organist at Newcastle ; he is referred to by Browning
in his ' Parleyings.'
The concluding event of Dr Brown's life was a very singular one. Dr Dumaresq
(of Exeter College, Oxford), who had been Chaplain to the English Factory at
St Petersburg until 1762, was invited to revisit that city in the year 1765 by the
Empress Catherine II. Her Majesty had a scheme for establishing schools in
some parts of her Empire and wished to consult Dr Dumaresq. He found that
the proposals of the Empress were very wide in their scope, including not only
learning, but what would now be called technical education. He was put into
communication with Dr Brown, whom he consulted in the matter. Brown entered
into the scheme with the greatest enthusiasm, and wrote a long letter to Dumaresq
sketching out a vast scheme for the education and civilisation of the Bussian
Empire. The idea had evidently fired his imagination and picturing to himself
8. 29
442 APPENDIX,
the Russian nation as a tabula rasa upon which any characters might be inscribed ;
he wrote, not only to Dumaresq, but to others describin<; the probable effects of his
plans, civilisation and education spreading from Petersburg to Kamschatka, and
southward into Tartary and China. The letter caused Dumaresq some perplexity.
He had it translated into French and it was in due course submitted to the Empress,
who caused an invitation to visit Russia to be sent to Dr Brown. This he at once
accepted and the Empress, through M. Pouschkin, the Russian Ambassador, remit-
ted £1000 for the expenses of the journey. Dr Brown at once prepared to start
and obtained permission, being a King's Chaplain, to travel abroad. But while
in London on the eve of setting out he was seized with a violent attack of gout
and rheumatism. His friends persuaded him to postpone his visit and he very
honestly repaid to the Russian ambassador the money advanced to him with the
exception of a small amount expended by him in preparation. His enemies seem
to have insinuated that he had appropriated the money and found it convenient
not to go. This, added to his illness, and the vexation caused by the wreck of his
schemes brought on a fit of melancholy, and he committed suicide by cutting his
throat on 23 September 1766. It appears that a tendency to insanity with a
suicidal turn had been observed in him before.
There is no doubt that Brown was a man of very considerable ability and
originality, though self-opinionated and quarrelsome. In addition to his literary
powers he was accomplished in the arts. He is said to have been one of the best
amateur performers on the violin of his time. He left behind crayon portraits of
his father and mother executed by himself which have been highly praised. A
portrait of himself which hung in the Vicarage at Wigton was believed to be by
him and is said to have been a fine picture: "The features are exact, dark and
saturnine, but the eyes are animated with much penetration and fire " (Hutchin-
son, History of Cumberland, ii, 472). A portrait in oils of Dr Brown hangs in the
vestry of St Nicholas' Cathedral, Newcastle-upon-Tyne (Notes and Queries, 8 Ser.
V, 131). The fullest account of Brown's life is by Dr Kippis in the Biographia
Britannica (1760) ii, 653-674. This contains very full details from Dr Balguy and
others, including lengthy extracts from the correspondence with Dumaresq. A
curious " Character of the late Dr Brown, Vicar of Newcastle " will be found in the
Memoirs of Thomas Hollis, ii, 714-717 ; it was originally published in a London
newspaper. See also Dictionai~y of National Biography.

Bentham, Alderman of Cambridge, who died 1 June 1778), in 1781 unmarried and
has a new church at Stopforth in Lancashire, given him by the Patron, and had

Chronicle, 28 February 1795; Gentleman's Magazine, 1795, p. 349). He was buried
at Maulden 25 February 1795. His wife died in 1770 when he is described as of
Ampthill, Beds. {Cambridge Chronicle, 14 July 1770).
Some details with regard to Christopher Hatton may be gathered from the
following extract from MSS. Cole xxx, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5831, p. 105. "My
worthy and good friend Dr Zachary Grey, Rector of Houghton Conquest in Bedford-
shire and Minister of the Parishes of St Peter and St Giles in Cambridge having
several volumes of miscellany papers, among which are great quantities of original
letters, he was so kind as to lend several of them to me for my perusal. The first
volume is a thin Folio containing nothing but a parcel of original letters of the very
worthy Dr Ashton, late Master of Jesus College and Canon of Ely, to Dr Moss, the
Dean of that Cathedral Church. I suppose they came into his hands by his
marrying a daughter of that Dean's wife, Mrs Hinton, who kept the Three Tuns
Tavern in Cambridge. When Dr Grey married her she was the widow of Mr Hatton,
brother to the Baronet of that name, of Long Stanton, in Cambridgeshire, by whom
she had a son, the Rev. Mr Christopher Hatton, my good friend, and now Rector of
Mart^ton, in Bedfordshire, and Maulden in the same County, near Ampthill, which
he lately exchanged for his living of Girton, near Cambridge, where he had laid out
no small sum in the conveniences and ornaments about it, there being a very good
house already built new by his immediate predecessor, Mr Halfhide. But Mr Hatton,
living altogether at Ampthill, it brought his two livings near together, on which he
quitted Girton to his fellow collegiate at St John's, Mr Lypeat, for Maulden. Dr Grey

also lives wholly at Ampthill on account of the air, which did not agree with him at
Houghton. He has two dauters by his wife, the eldest, long engaged to my name-
sake, the Kev. Mr William Cole (P. 95 no. 31), late Rector of Newton Blossomville,
in Buckinghamshire, and now beneficed in Norfolk, son of the Rev. Mr Charles
Cole, Rector of North Crawley, in Buckinghamshire, and who is brother to
Mr William Cole of Ely. His other dauter is lately married to my neibour, the
Rev. Mr Le Peper, Rector of Apsley, in Bedfordshire, and formerly Fellow-Com-
moner of Queens' College in Cambridge. Dr Grey has a brother who is Counsellor
at Newcastle-on-Tyne. ...Kitt Hatton, after the death of his wife, without bringing
him any issue, married an Irish lady of the name of Pocklington, sister to
Mrs Domville, the wife of Dr Domville, Dean and Alderman of Armagh, whom he
had met at Cambridge, or Bath, where Dr Domville resided about 1772, and died
about two years after. Mr Hatton married her about 1774, without much fortune,
but great expectations from her sister who is left immensely rich, and no children.
His sister Cole told me in 1780, at my house in Milton, that her brother Hatton
was now in the Fleet, or confinement for debt, having run through everything and
so indebted as no hopes of his ever being able to rally again." Cole also gives some
similar details in his volume xxxiii, p. 267 (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5834).

Pitt, M.D. ; (iii) to Rachel, daughter of John Cole, of Melburne St Andrews, and
(iv) to Mary Fowle. He left issue by his first and third marriages. In the church
of Blandford Forum, Dorset, there is a tablet with the following inscription:

P. 73 no. 23. John Tonge was B.A. 1736. The Kev. F. Besant, Vicar of Sibsey,
near Boston, sends the following notes which probably refer to this John Tonge.
(i) From the Vestry Minute Books -. On Easter Monday, 20 April 1742, a Vestry
Meeting was held. The minutes were signed by John Tonge, Curate, other signa-
tures following his. The chief business related to the re-settlement of the local
school. Trustees were appointed and rules were made. John Tonge was not one
of the Trustees. Collaterally it may be remarked that John Franklin, ancestor of
Sir John Franklin of Arctic fame, was one of the Trustees. On 14 May 1742 the
following minute occurs: "It was then agreed (being at a publick Vestry) by a
majority of the above-nam'd Trustees, that the Reverend Jno, Tonge shall bee School
Master of y« Free School in the Parish of Sibsey." On 21 May 1745 at a Vestry
Meeting certain men were elected Trustees in addition to the existing Trustees with
special duty, " To chuse and elect a proper Master for the said schoole, which is
now wanting." A subsequent memorandum states that "Mr Sam" Brown was
elected Master of the said Charity School," on the same date, i.e. 21 May 1745.
(ii) From the Parish Register: "(a) 1743 March 29; Margaret dau. of the
Reverend Mr John Tonge by Mary, his wife, born Feb. 22, baptized March the 29 ;
(b) 1744. Born Feb. 15 Mary, daughter of the Rev^ Mr John Tonge by Mary, his
wife, and baptized Aprill the 18, 1745 ; (c) Margaret, dau. of the Rev. Mr John
Tonge, buried 17 July 1744." One Joha Tonge was instituted Vicar of Stickford
9 August 1750, and Rector of Langton by Partney and also Rector of Oxcombe
2 July 1761. All three livings are in Lincolnshire, and all three were filled up
again in 1762.
P. 73 no. 24. Robert Moreton was ordained Deacon 6 March 173f , and licensed

Robert Moreton was instituted Rector of Langenhoe 6 February 174*, and Rector
of Borley 8 April 1758, both in Essex. Both livings were vacant in 1770.
P. 73 no. 25. Nathaniel Ogle took the B.A. degree in 1736. In Foster's Alumni
Oxonienses he is identified with Nathaniel Ogle, son of Nathaniel Ogle of Newcastle-
upon-Tyne, who matriculated at Oxford from Balliol College 25 October 1731, aged 16,
and was afterwards a student of the Inner Temple. This is clearly a mistake.
Henry Ogle, the father of the Johnian, was a younger brother of Nathaniel Ogle,
the father of the Oxonian. Thus the two lads were cousins.
P. 73 no. 26. John Bunting was ordained Deacon 5 June 1737, and licensed to

St John's, in 1733 (Foster, Alumni Oxonienses). He was instituted Vicar of Llan-
gattock-juxta-Caerleon, co. Monmouth, 26 July 1729, and Vicar of Shire Newton,
CO. Monmouth, 17 January 173|. Both livings were vacant in 1742.
P. 73 no. 28. Richard Lawson, son of James Lawson, of Kirkham, Lancashire,

bridge, from St John's, in 1733 (Foster, Alumni Oxonienses). One Richard
Lawson was instituted Vicar of Bosham, Sussex, 20 October 1731, holding the living
until 1771.

P. 76 no. 29. John Balguy, the father, was a member of the College : see his
admission. Part ii, P. 160 no. 19.
Thomas Balguy was born at Lamesley, co. Durham, 27 September 1716. He was
admitted a Fellow of the College 17 March 174^. He was ordained Deacon 21 Sep-
tember, and Priest 21 December 1740, by the Bishop of Lincoln. In 1744 he
became assistant tutor to his friend, Dr Powell (afterwards Master), and continued
to read lectures in Moral Philosophy and the Evidences of Natural and Revealed
Religion for sixteen years in College. On 9 April 1741 he was collated (by lapse)
Rector of the North mediety of Stoke, co. Lincoln. It is usually stated by his
biographers that he was instituted on the presentation of his father, but the Act
Book of Dr John Potter, Archbishop of Canterbury, is quite clear on the point. He
was instituted Rector of Hagworthiugham, co. Lincoln, 26 July 1746. On 21 No-
vember 1746, when he is described as Chaplain to the Bishop of Winchester, he
452 APPENDIX.
received a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Hagworthingham,
■with the North mediety of Stoke, then valued at £95 and £55 respectively, and
stated to be 29 miles apart. He was again instituted to Stoke 16 December 1746.
In 1743 he was chosen Deputy Public Orator of the University, under Dr Tunstall,
who was acting as Chaplain to Archbishop Potter at Lambeth. He was collated
31 May 1748 (and installed 16 July) to the Prebend of Norton Episcopi in Lincoln
Cathedral. And on 1 November 1757 he was collated by Bishop Hoadley to the
11th Prebendal Stall in Winchester Cathedral. The same prelate appointed him
Archdeacon of Winchester 23 July 1759. On 19 September 1771 he was instituted
Vicar of Alton, Hants, on the presentation of the Dean and Chapter of Winchester.
He then ceded his Lincolnshire benefices, but held his Vicarage of Alton with the
Archdeaconry and the two Prebends until his death. On the death of Dr Powell in
1765, it was thought possible that he might become Master of the College (Nichols,
Literary Anecdotes, i, 579). In 1781 King George III. nominated him to the
Bishopric of Gloucester; this Balguy dechned on the ground of physical infirmity
(his eyesight had been decaying for some time and at last totally failed). This
piece of self-denial Balguy refers to as follows in his Dedication of his Discourses to
the King: "Permit me, Sir, to express in this public manner the lively sense
I entertain of your Majesty's repeated favours; particularly of your goodness both
in naming me to a High Station in the Church, and in allowing me to decline it.
Nothing could be more flattering than the offer made me, or more acceptable in my
infirm state of health, than the leave given me to close my days in privacy and
retirement." Bishop Halifax, who obtained the see of Gloucester on that vacancy,
republished the charge of Bishop Butler to the clergy of the Diocese of Durham
with a Preface, this he dedicated to Dr Balguy, wherein he says: "When by his
Majesty's goodness, I was raised to that station of eminence in the Church, to
which you had been first named, and which on account of the infirmities of your
health, you had desired to decline ; it was honour enough for me, on such an
occasion, to have been thought of next to you, and I know of no better rule by
which to govern my conduct, so as not to discredit the Royal Hand which conferred
on me so singular and unmerited a favour, than, in cases of difficulty, to put the
question to myself, How you would have acted in the same occasion." Bishop
Hurd also writes of Balguy as follows: "Dr Balguy was a person of extraordinary
parts, and extensive learning, indeed of universal knowledge ; and what is so
precious in a man of letters, of the most exact judgment, as appears from some
valuable Discourses, which having been written occasionally on important subjects,
and published separately by him, had raised his reputation so high, that his
Majesty, out of his singular love of merit, and without any other recommendation,
was pleased in 1781, to make him the offer of the Bishopric of Gloucester.
Dr Balguy had a just sense of this flattering distinction, but was unhappily pre-
vented by an infirm state of health from accepting it."
Dr Balguy died at his prebendal house at Winchester 19 January 1795, and was
buried in the Cathedral on the 26th of that month. A tablet was put up to his
memory in Winchester Cathedral with the following inscription : "Near this place
lies interred | The Eev. Thos. Balguy, D.D. | Archdeacon of Winchester, Prebendary
of I this Church, and Vicar of Alton. | Born Sept. 27, 1716, died Jan. 19, 1795. j A
sincere and exemplary Christian | a sound and accurate Scholar | a strenuous and
able defender of | the Christian Religion | and of the Church of England. | His pre-
ferment had been accepted with | gratitude, not sought by him. | In 1781 George III.
named him to the Bishopric of Gloucester, which on account of his infirmities he
desired | leave to decUne" (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, iii, 220, 232; v, 652; viii,
157, note ; see also Gentlemari's Magazine, 1824, ii, p. 597, where a specimen of his
Latin verse is given).
Dr Balguy published the following works : (i) A sermon preached in Lambeth
Chapel 12 February 1769 at the Consecration of the Right Reverend Dr Shute
Barrington, Bishop of Llandaff, 1769 ; (ii) A Sermon [on Heb. xiii, 7] on Church
Government, preached at the Consecration of Bishop Shipley, 1769, 4to. ; (iii) A Charge
delivered to the Clergy of his Archdeaconiy , 1772, 4to.; this was a defence of de-
manding subscriptions to the Articles of Religion, it met with some severe
criticism; (iv) A Sermonlon IPet. ii, 15] On the Consecration of Bishop North, 1775,
8vo.; (v) A Sermon on the Respective Duties of Ministers and People, at the Consecra-

courses on various subjects, Charges delivered to the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of
Winchester, Concio hahita in Templo Beatae Mariae [Cambridge, on Matth. vii, 16],
Winchester, 1785, 8vo. Dr Balguy published the Sermons of Dr Powell, with his
life, and edited his father's (Rev. John Balguy) Essay on Redemption.
His 'Discourses and Charges' with some matter not printed before were edited
in two volumes by the Rev. James Drake, Chancellor of St Asaph, and Vicar of
Warmtield, Yorks., in 1822.

by the Bishop of Chester to be Master of the Grammar School at Kendal 7 June
1743 on the nomination of the Mayor, Aldermen and Burgesses of the Borough of
Kirby Kendal. He died at Kendal in July 1793, aged 73, a few years after he had
resigned that office {Cambridge Chronicle, 6 July 1793; the age, it will be observed,
does not quite agree with that given in the College Register).
On the floor of the Bellingham Chapel in Kendal Church are slabs with the
following inscriptions : (i) Hie jacet Anna Crackenthorp, Roberti et Jane Ridgeway

instituted Rector of St Mary's with Holy Trinity, Guildford, Surrey, 22 December 1772,
ceding this on his installation as Canon of Windsor 20 June 1774 (Hardy's Le Neve,
iii, 410). He exchanged this Canonry for the Deanery of Raphoe in Ireland to which
he was presented 25 October 1776 (Cotton, Fasti Ecclesiae Hibemicae, iii, 363).
He died at Woodstock and is buried there, with the following epitaph : "Near this
place are interred the remains of James King of Skellands, in the West Riding of the
County of York, D.D., and Dean of Raphoe, who died April 24, 1795, and of Anne
his wife, daughter and co-heiress of John Walker, esq., of Hungerhill, in the same
Riding, who died Nov. 4, 1794, both in the eighty-first year of their age. Their four
surviving sons erected this monument in pious remembrance of the best of parents,
and with grateful acknowledgement to the Divine Providence for the invaluable
blessings their example and instructions afforded them. — Also to the memory of
their beloved brother, James King, Captain in the Royal Navy, LL.D. and F.R.S.,
the friend and colleague of Captain Cook in his last voyage round the world, the
history of which, from the time of the death of that celebrated navigator, he wrote
at Woodstock, during the intervals of his retirement from the public services of his
country, in which his laborious and almost uninterrupted exertions brought on
a premature and deeply-lamented death. He died Oct. 1784 in the thirty-second
year of his age, at Nice, where he is interred."
Of the four sons, who erected this monument, three were Oxford men. Thomas
King, born at Bolton, of Christ Church, afterwards Prebendary of Canterbury and
Chancellor of Lincoln. Walker King, of Brasenose College, and student of Christ
Church, born at Clitheroe, afterwards Bishop of Rochester; and John King, also
born at Clitheroe, of Christ Church, a barrister of Gray's Inn, and Undersecretary to

tions (Whitaker, History of Craven, 3rd ed., 251, where there is a pedigree; Foster,
Alumni Oxonienses).

17^§. He did not graduate at Cambridge. He was admitted a student of the
Middle Temple 14 November 1734, and was called to the Bar 6 July 1739. He was
called to the Bench of that Inn 22 June 1764, and sat 7 June 1765, and was

Lincoln's Inn 3 May (and sat 2 November) 1754, was Eeader of that Inn in 1762, and
became Treasurer in November 1762. He was elected M.P. for Appleby, co. West-

was re-elected M.P. for Guildford after this appointment 8 February 1769. He was
returned again for the same constituency 5 October 1774 and 8 October 1780,
vacating the seat on being raised to the Peerage. On the death of Sir John Cust,
Speaker of the House of Commons, in January 1770, Sir Fletcher Norton was elected
Speaker, he retained possession of the Chair for ten years, until October 1780. On
7 May 1777, when the sum of £618,000 was voted for the discharge of the King's
debts a second time. Sir Fletcher Norton, on presenting the bill for the royal assent
addressed the throne in these words: "Your Majesty's faithful Commons have
granted a great sum to discharge the debt of the civil list ; and considering what-
ever enables your Majesty to support with grandeur, honour and dignity, the crown
of Great Britain, in its true lustre, will reflect honour on the nation, they have given
most liberally, even in these times of great danger and difficulty, taxed almost
beyond our ability to bear : and they have now granted to your Majesty an income
far exceeding your Majesty's highest wants, hoping that what they have given
cheerfully, your Majesty will spend wisely." The King was greatly mortified and
the Ministry endeavoured to gratify their royal master by moving a vote of censure
against Sir Fletcher. They failed, however, and a motion was carried in opposition
to the Ministry to the effect that the Speaker, in his address to the King, "did
express with just and proper energy the zeal of the House for the support of the
honour and dignity of the Crown, in circumstances of great public charge." The
City of London also expressed their approval, for : "at a Court of Common Council
14 May 1777 a motion was made and question put — That the Freedom of the City
be presented to the Eight Honourable Sir Fletcher Norton, knight, Speaker of the
Honourable House of Commons, for having declared in manly terms the real state
of the nation to his Majesty on the Throne, when he presented to him for his
Koyal Assent the Bill entitled 'An Act for the better support of His Majesty's
Household, and of the honour and dignity of the Crown of Great Britain.' The
same was resolved in the affirmative, and it was farther resolved — That a copy of
the Freedom of the City, with the resolution of the Court inserted therein, be de-
livered to the Right Honourable Sir Fletcher Norton in a gold box of the value of
fifty guineas." He did not accept the gold box, following the precedent of Speaker
Onslow [London's Roll of Fame, 60).
On the assembling of the next Parliament in 1780, Lord George Germaine pro-
posed that Charles Wolfran Cornwall should take the Chair, alleging that the
fatigues of the preceding sessions must have impaired the constitution of Sir Fletcher
Norton, the late Speaker. The motion was opposed by Mr Dunning and others, as
well as by Sir Fletcher, who scouted in vigorous language the alleged reasons for
relieving him ; Mr Fox also spoke with asperity against the motion, but the election
of Mr Cornwall was carried by a majority of 203 to 134. Two years later, on the
accession of the Marquis of Eockingham to power, Norton was raised to the Peerage
by patent dated 9 April 1782, with the title of Baron Grantley, of Markenfeld,
Yorks. The reason for his creation, according to Wraxall's Memoirs, ii, 258-261,
and i, 257-261, was because a peerage having been granted to Dunning without the
cognizance of the head of the Ministry, it was considered that in order to wipe out
the affront "some individual must be without delay raised to the peerage at (the
Prime Minister) Lord Eockingham's personal recommendation," and that Norton
was selected "not so much from inclination as necessity," his elevation making in
all respects a good parallel to the peerage conferred on Dunning.

APPENDIX. 455
In addition to the offices enumerated above, Sir Fletcher Norton was made
Attorney-General for the Diocese of Durham on 5 January 1754, resigning this

On 30 March 1761 the Bishop of Durham appointed him, jointly with his eldest
son William Norton, to be High Steward of the Soke or Lordship of North
Allertonshire. He was made Kecorder of Guildford in 1778. As a lawyer, Lord
Grantley was universally admitted to be eminent, and it was remarked by Samuel
Johnson, "Much may be done, if a man put his whole mind to a particular subject.
By doing so, Norton has made himself the great lawyer which he is allowed to be."
He was known by the epithet of Sir BuUface Double-fee,
"Careless of censure and no fool to fame,
Firm in his double post and double fees,
Sir Fletcher standing without fear or shame
Pockets the cash and lets them laugh who please."
See Wraxall's Memoirs, i, 259 (ed. 1884).
He married 21 May 1741 at Wonersh, co. Surrey, Grace, daughter of Sir William
Chappie, one of the Justices of the King's Bencli. He died 1 January 1789, and

he was also Chaplain to the Duke of Gordon. He was instituted Rector of Hotham,
Yorks., 10 March 1755, receiving a dispensation to hold the Rectories of Barnoldby
and Hotham, then worth £270 a year {Gentleman's Magazine, 1755, p. 138). He

His father held the perpetual curacy of Brampton, near Chesterfield, and died in
1747. The living was in the gift of the Dean of Lincoln, who nominated the
Rev. Samuel Pegge (P. 32 no. 30), but the parishioners contested the right of
patronage and claimed to nominate the next incumbent, and the matter came
APPENDIX. 457
before the courts. In the Memoirs of Dr Pegge compiled by his son (prefixed to
Curialia Miscellanea, at p. xxv : see also Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, vi, 234) the
matter is thus referred to : "These measures were principally fomented by the son
of the last incumbent, the Rev. Seth Ellis, a man of a reprobate character, and
a disgrace to his profession, who wanted the living, and was patronized by the
parish. He had a desperate game to play ; for he had not the least chance of
obtaining any preferment, as no individual patron, who was even superficially
acquainted with his moral character alone, could with decency advance him in the
church. To complete the detail of the fate of this man, whose interest the deluded
part of the mal-contents of the parish so warmly espoused, he was soon after [about
1748] suspended by the Bishop from officiating at Brampton."... "This inhibition...
was not revoked till late in the year 1758, which was principally effected by
Mr Pegge's intercession with his Lordship, stating Mr Ellis's distressed circum-
stances, and his having made a proper submission, with a promise of future good
behaviour."
Seth Ellis became curate of Great Hale, co. Lincoln, about 1765, and died there,
20 January 1791, worn out with old age. It was remarkable of him that he was
scarcely ever known to have a day's illness till a week before his death ; and that
he never made use of spectacles, although nearly 80 years of age (Gentleman's
Magazine, 1791, p. 94).

ordained Priest 26 June 1743 by the Bishop of Norwich, and licensed curate to
Edward Birch, Rector of Langham St Mary, Suffolk.
P. 77 no. 46. John Cock was ordained Deacon 22 September and Priest 20 October
1745 by the Bishop of London. He was instituted Rector of Debden, Essex,
20 October 1745, Rector of Great Horkesley, also in Essex, 14 January 1761, then
vacating Debden, and Rector of Debden again 7 February 1766, holding it with
Great Horkesley until his death. He had a dispensation 1 February 1766 from the
Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Great Horkesley (valued at £250) with Debden
(valued at £270), the two livings being 28 miles apart. He died at Great Horkesley
30 January 1796 (Cambridge Chronicle, 6 February 1796; Gentleman's Magazine,
1796, 170).
John Cock was a cousin of William Cole, who gives the following account of
him (MSS. Cole v, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5806, fol. 139 a). "John Cock was in-
ducted into the Rectory of Debden 26 October 1745 by the Rev. John Taylor, Vicar
of Littlebury and Fellow of St John's College. Mr Cock's father is originally of
Barkway, in Hertfordshire, and his mother is Anne, the second daughter of Theo-
philus Tuer of Cambridge, merchant, by Mary, his wife. He was brought up on
the Foundation of the Royal College at Eton, and from thence removed to St John's
College, in Cambridge, where he now resides, and is now about 30 years of age, and
has been at the University these 12 years. He went into Holy Orders under his
Diocesan at the Royal Chapel of Whitehall for Deacon the beginning of September,
and Priest the middle of October 1745. On occasion of four rogues breaking into
his house and binding him and his servants in the year 1759, he took such an
antipathy to the place that he was determined never to live at it again ; so he
sought out for an exchange, and as he writes me word this 14th day of January
1761 he was to be instituted this very day at Fulham to the Rectory of Great

4DO APPENDIX.
Horkesley, in Essex, to which he was presented by the Lord Viscount Eoyston, on
an exchange with Dr Thomas Birch, whom he presented to Debden. Dr Cock took
his Doctor of Divinity at Cambridge Commencement 1760.
" Thomas Birch, D.D., an Oxford man, and of great ingenuity, as appears by
several of his works in print. He had been presented to Great Horkesley by my
Lord Royston, with whom he was much in favour, on account of his application to
the Belles Lettres. He is a Fellow of the Antiquary and Royal Societies. He was
bred a Quaker. In The Whitehall Evening Post of Thursday, 9 January 1766 is
this article: 'Yesterday as Dr Birch, late Secretary to the Royal Society, was taking
an airing on the Hampstead Road, he was flung from his horse near the Half-way
House, and being taken up speechless, was carried in there and blooded; he bled
freely and afterwards was able to say who he was, but expired within a quarter
of an hour.'
" Upon this accident Dr Cock came into possession of his own living again, but
resides wholly at Horkesley, where he has laid out great sums in new modelling and
new building the Rectory House."
Cole has some further notes on the family of Joseph Cock (MSS. Cole xviii, Brit.
Mus. Addl. MSS. 5819, fol. 185 a).

1749 to Mr William Hurford, a coal-merchant, on the pav'd stones, Moorlields
(Cambridge Journal, 12 May 1749). The Gentleman's Magazine for 1749, p. 236,

1795 of Jesus College. Both were Fellows of their Colleges. The Gentleman's
Magazine, 1788, p. 757, in announcing his death adds, "The distance in a direct
line between his two livings occasioned a criticism well known at Cambridge, that :
By help of Dr B.'s crow any man might hold preferment in the church. He is
succeeded in his professorship, which is a valuable sinecure, by Mr Mainwaring of
St John's College, who have the disposal of it by the will of their munificent
Foundress."

stated that he was an M.A. of Sidney College, and was born in the Parish of Great
Yeldham, Essex, in the year 1674. Cole says of him (MSS. Cole ii, Brit. Mus.
Addl. MSS., 5803, p. 29), "Zachary Brooke, Vicar of Newton about 1702. He
upon some misfortune, debt, as I am informed, went abroad and had a benefice in
Virginia, where he died about six years ago. He has a son of both his names.
Fellow of St John's College." Cole in his notes on the Vicars of Ickleton (MSS.
Cole i, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS., 5802, fol. 8 b), after noting Dr Brooke's dispensation
adds : "I suppose the reason he chose to keep Ickleton, is the design, long in hand,
to marry the late Mr Hanchett's daughter.... Dr Brooke's father was Vicar of
Hauxton, but left to go out to the Indies for debt." And in another place he says
that the elder Brooke "in consequence of some disorder in his finances went into
some of our Plantations, and was beneficed there, leaving his son to the care of his
friends."

P. 78 no. 1. William Cole in his MS. collections, Vol. vii, gives a list "of the
present Justices of the Peace for the County of Cambridge, Anno Domini 1740." At
fol. 60 he gives the following account of " The Worshipful Thomas Watson
Ward, Esq., Justice of the Peace for the County of Cambridge.
"Mr Ward of WUbraham was grandnephew to Thomas Watson, Bishop of
St David's, whose niece, Joane, married his Lordship's Secretary, by whom he had
this only son, who, before I went to Eton, was my schoolfellow at Walden, in Essex,
under Mr Butts. He afterwards came to St John's College, and from thence
removed to Trinity College, and there married Mary, the daughter of Mr Cutchy,
a barber for the College, who was a celebrated beauty, before he was 18 years of
age, to the great displeasure of his mother and aunt, who both soon after died and
he came into his full estate of about £1000 a year. He has three sons and a daughter.
His middlemost son, John, is my Godson, who was baptized on St David's Day, 1744.
His eldest son Thomas is at Mr Newcome's school at Hackney.
"Poor Mr Ward died this day, January 26, 17*f at 11 a clock in the forenoon,
I am afraid, of too fast liAring. He was a very handsome, jolly man of about
32 years of age, and left 4 children behind him" (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5808),
where Cole gives the coat of arms of Mr Ward.
Thomas Watson Ward was High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire
from January 1744 to January 1745.
The Rev. T. W. Hutchinson, Vicar of Great Wilbraham, supplies the following
particulars with regard to Thomas Watson Ward.
On the north wall of the chancel of Great Wilbraham Church there is a marble
tablet with the following inscription : "In memory | of | Thomas Watson Ward | of
Wilbraham Temple, Esq"". | son and heir of John Ward, Esq"". | by Joanna | niece
and co-heiress | of the Right Rev"*. Thomas | L**. Bishop of St David's. | He married
Mary, daughter of John Cutchy | and left by her | Thomas-Watson, John, William,
and Mary | 26'^ Jan^. | 1750 | Aged but 31."
On tlae north transept wall there is a marble tablet with this inscription : "In
memory of | Mary Ward | wife of | Thos. Watson Ward, Esq'. | who died 8th June
1793 I Also of John Ward, Esq. | Son of Thomas Watson Ward, Esq'. | by Mary
his wife."
On the north wall of the chancel there is a monument with the following
inscription to the memory of John Ward, the father of Thomas Watson Ward:

Joanna Ward {nee Watson) married for her second husband John Clench.
P. 78 no. 2. Richard Ludlam, the father, was a member of the College (Part ii,
P. 140 no. 1). William Ludlam was baptized at St Mary's Church, Leicester,
8 April 1717 (Leicestershire and Rutland Notes and Queries, i, 193). He was
admitted a Fellow of the College 13 March 174f , became a Senior Fellow 15 March
1763, and his fellowship was filled up in 1769. He was ordained Deacon 22 February
174^, and licensed to the curacy of Galby, co. Leicester, he was ordained Priest
14 March 174^, all by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was appointed Lady Sadleir's
Lecturer in Algebra at St John's College 13 January 174|, and seems to have held
this until he left College. He was Junior Dean of the College from 19 February
1754 to 23 February 1757. He was appointed by the College to be parochial
chaplain of Horningsey, co. Cambridge, 23 February 1757; his successor was George
Ashby, appointed 18 October 1765. He was Junior Bursar of the College from
15 October 1765 to 27 February 1768. He was also for a time Linacre Lecturer in
Physic. He was instituted Rector of Peckleton, co. Leicester, 22 December 1743,
ceding this on being instituted Vicar of Norton-by-Galby in the same county
3 April 1749. He was presented by the College to the Rectory of Cocktield,
CO. Suffolk, 18 April, and instituted 13 May 1767. He held both these latter
livings until his death. He apparently resided at Cockfield for some time, as he
signs the Registers there from 1767 to 1773 and again in 1782 and 1783. During
the interval and later he resided at Leicester, for part of the time at least with his
brother Thomas (P. 115 no. 16). During his residence in College he seems to have
taken an active part in College tuition, and to have had the superintendence of the
College Observatory. In 1760, Dr Powell, Master of the College, supported Ludlam
in his candidature for the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics in the University. The
Chair was however given to Edward Waring.
When Thomas Robinson (of Trinity College, B.A. 1772) became Vicar of
St Mary's at Leicester he found Ludlam there; Robinson had been warned that
Ludlam would be his enemy, but the prediction was falsified and they became fast
friends. "Mr Ludlam was at this time chiefly occupied in mechanical pursuits;
with which he united a very large share of attention to the newspapers and other
political publications of that period (i.e. about 1774). He did not usually go to
church even on the Sunday; and when he did go, it was generally from the work-
shop; with hands and legs which shewed where he had been. ...Mr Ludlam had
something venerable, but very peculiar, in his appearance. He wore a large
roquelaure; and had his face and head a good deal muffled up in his hat and cloak.
He had also something of Dr Ogden's emphatic protrusion of the head" (E. T.
Vaughan, Some account of the Rev. Thomas Rohinson, 68, 69, 70). Between Robin-
son and William Ludlam there was for many years a fast friendship. Ludlam took
an active part in the proceedings for petitioning Parliament against the slave trade.
An address by him to the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Leicester is printed by
Vaughan (U. pp. 135-6).
Some remarks by Ludlam on the defective printing of his mathematical works
at the Cambridge University Press will be found in Nichols' Literary Anecdotes,
viii, 414. He was author of the following : (i) Astronomical observations made in
the new Observatory at Cambridge in the years 1767 and 1768, with an account of
J
APPENDIX. * 463
several astronomical inetruments, Cambridge, 1769, 4to. ; (ii) Two Mathematical
Essays; the first on Ultimate Ratios, the second on the Power of the Wedge, Cam-
bridge, 1770; (iii) Directions for the use of Hadley's Quadrant; with remarks on the
construction and use of that instrument demonstrated, London, 1771, 8vo. ; (iv) An
essay on Newton's Second Law of Motion, London, 1780, Bvo. ; (v) Tlie Rudiments of
Mathematics ; designed for the use of students at the Universities; containing an
Introduction to Algebra; Remarks on the first six books of Euclid; and the elements
of Plane and Spherical Trigonometry, London, 1785, 8vo. ; (vi) An Introduction to,
and Noteson, Mr Bord's Method of dividing Astronomical Instruments; to which is added
a Vocabulary of English and French techiiical terms, hondon, 1786, 4to. ; (vii) Mathe-
matical Essays; (1) On the Properties of the Cycloid : (2) On Def. l,Cor. i, Prop. 10;
Cor. I, Prop. 13; Book I of Newton's Principia, 1787; (viii) Essays on Scripture
metaphors ; Divine justice ; Divine mercy ; and the Doctrine of Sanctification, 1787,
8vo. ; (ix) Tico Essays, on Justification, and the influence of the Holy Spirit, in
addition to the foregoing, 1788.
He also publisbed the following papers in the Philosophical Transactions :
(1) " Account of a new-constructed Balance for the Woollen Manufacture," lv, p. 205 ;
(2) " Observations on the Transit of Venus and Eclipse of the Sun at Leicester,
June 3, 1769," lix, 236; (3, 4 and 5) "Astronomical Observations at Leicester," lx,
355; Lxv, 366, 370; (6) "Eclipse of the Sun at Leicester, 1778," lxviii, 1019;
(7) "An engine for turning Ovals in wood or metal, and drawing Ovals on paper,"
Lxx, 378. In the Gentleman's Magazine is his " R«port to the Board of Longitude,
on the merits of Mr Harrison's watch," Vol. xxxv, 412, and "A short account of
Church Organs," Vol. xlii, 502. In the London Magazine for 1765, pp. 666-7, is
"A short view of the improvements made or attempted to be made in Mr Harrison's
watch" (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, iii, 639; Davy, Athenae Suffolcienses, Brit.
Mus. Addl. MSS., 19,166, article Ludlam). He was also in early life an occasional
writer in the Monthly Review. He died at Leicester, and on the south wall of
St Mary's Church there is a tablet with the following inscription: "In memory of
William Ludlam, B.D. | many years a fellow of St John's College, Cambridge | (son
of Richard Ludlam, M.B.) | who died March 16, 1788, aged 71 years. | And of
William, his son, aged 3 years" (Nichols, History of Leicestershire, i, 318).
The date of William Ludlam's marriage and the maiden name of his wife do not
appear to have been ascertained. One of his sons, Thomas Ludlam, after serving
a period of apprenticeship to a printer, entered the service of the Sierra Leone
Company. He became one of the Council, and ultimately Governor of Sierra Leone.
He died there on board the Crocodile frigate, 25 July 1810, aged 34. Another son,
William Ludlam, became a surgeon of some note. He married a Miss Parker,
niece of Mr Parker Newdigate, of Arbury Park, Warwickshire. Their son, Thomas
Ludlam, was Fellow of Peterhouse (B.A. 1832), and afterwards Vicar of St Nicholas,
Guildford (Babington, Materials for a History of Cockfield, Suffolk, 40).
P. 78 no. 3. William Cantrell was ordained Deacon 17 June 1739, being " titled
at Empingham Prebend, Rutland," he was ordained Priest 22 February 174f by the
Bishop of Lincoln. He was instituted Rector of Normanton, co. Rutland, 7 May
1751, and Rector of St Michael's, in Stamford, 16 September 1766, on the presenta-
tion of the Earl of Exeter; he died 17 January 1787. The Parish Register of
St Michael's, Stamford, records the burial of Mary Cantrell, spinster, 22 August
1788, aged 68, perhaps a sister of the Rector. There is a monument to the memory
of William Cantrell in St Alkmund's, Derby.
P. 78 no. 8. Thomas Savage was ordained Deacon 24 September 1738 by the
Bishop of Lincoln, and licensed to the curacy of Welby, co. Lincoln. One Thomas
Savage was instituted Vicar of Owston, Yorks., 28 September 1744, and held the
living until 1782. A Thomas Savage was instituted Rector of Darley, co. Derby,
13 February 174|, and seems to have held the living until 1764. Mrs Elizabeth
Savage, widow of the Rev. Thomas Savage, formerly Rector of Darley, died 29 Sep-
tember 1792 at Bishop's Stortford, aged 73 {Cambridge Chronicle, 6 October 1792;
Gentlertian's Magazine, 1792, p. 962).
P. 78 no. 9. Radley Aynscough, the father, son of Thomas Aynscough, of
Bowden, Cheshire, matriculated at Oxford from Brasenose College 8 March Iffr.
aged 18, he was B.A. in 1703 (Foster, Alumni Oxonienses). Thomas, his only
surviving son by his first wife, Elizabeth, daughter of — Taylor, was baptized at
the Collegiate Church of Manchester 23 May 1719. He proceeded B.A. 1738 and
k
464 APPENDIX.
M.A. 1742. He incorporated as M.A. at Oxford 13 July 1742 (Foster, i.e.).
He was ordained Deacon 24 May 1752 by the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry,
with letters dimissory from the Bishop of Chester, and Priest 15 October 1752
by the Bishop of Chester. On 1 August 1752 he was licensed to the Perpetual
Curacy of Birch, in Rusholme, on the nomination of John Dickenson of
Manchester, and provided the first books for the recording of baptisms and burials
there. In 1753, principally through his agency, the Chapel of Birch was en-
larged, a faculty for that purpose having been granted by the Bishop of Chester
to Thomas Aynscough, curate of Birch Chapel and others therein named. He
continued to live at Birch until 31 January 1762. On 12 November 1761 he was
elected Fellow of the Collegiate Church of Manchester. On 6 October he was elected
Feoffee of the Chetham Library and Hospital, and on 4 March 1788 a Governor of
Manchester Grammar School In 1786 he was a Trustee, with others, of the Charity
School, of the Collegiate and Parish Church of Christ in Manchester, and took
a lively interest in the founding and supporting of Sunday Schools. He long had
a house near the Collegiate Church at 12 Fennel Street, in order that he might
regularly attend the Morning and Evening Prayers.
He married a daughter and co-heiress of the Rev. Jacob Scholes, incumbent of
Unsworth. Thomas Aynscough died at Roytou Hall, where he had lived for some
years, on 8 November 1793, aged 74, and was buried in the Collegiate Church of
Manchester. His name alone is recorded on his monument (The Fellows of the
Collegiate Church of Manchester, Chetham Society^s Publ. N.S., xxiii, 268 — 273,
where there are some further details with regard to him, and an abstract of
his will).
He preached in 1773 a funeral sermon on his intimate friend, the Jacobite, John
Clayton, at Manchester (Tyerman, Oxford Methodists, 51).
P. 79 no. 10. Godfrey Bosvile, gentleman, son and heir of William Bosvile, late
of Gunthwaite, Yorkshire, esquire, deceased, was admitted a student of the Inner
Temple 22 January 173f .
P. 79 no. 14. Richard Brewster was ordained Deacon 15 March 173| by the
Bishop of Lincoln, and licensed to the curacy of Saxby, co. Lincoln. He was
instituted Vicar of Heighington, co. Durham, 22 October 1764, and held the living
until his death. In the Church of Greatham there is a monument to his memory
with this inscription: "In memory of | The Rev. Richard Brewster, A.M. | Vicar of
Heighington in this County | and Lecturer of St Thomas's and St Anne's Chapels J
in Newcastle-upon-Tyne | where he died distinguished by a life | of strict piety and
virtue | Aprils, 1772, aged 54 years | and was interred in the parish of St Nicholas.]
Also in memory of Isabel his widow | who ended a devout and useful life May 11,
1797, aged 71 years | and was interred here. | This monument was erected | as
a tribute of filial affection" (Surtees, History of Durham, iii, 139, 307).
P. 79 no. 16. Edmund Bentham was born at Ely in May 1716 (Nichols, Literary
Anecdotes, viii, 452). He was admitted a Fellow of the College 17 March 174^
and his fellowship was filled up again in 1772. He was ordained Deacon 24 May
1741 by the Bishop of Norwich, and Priest by the Bishop of Lincoln 27 February
174§. He was instituted Vicar of Eyworth, Beds., 12 September 1754. He was
instituted Rector of Wootton Courtney, Somerset, 19 October 1770; being presented
thereto by the Rev. Dr Burton, Vice-Provost of Eton College (Cambridge Chronicle,
9 June 1770). He held both these livings until his death. Nichols (I.e.) states
that he was Rector of Sutton, and died in London, s.p., 8 April 1781, and was
buried at Twickenham. This does not seem to be correct. The Cambridge
Chronicle of 6 October 1781 has the following: "Lately died at Moulsey Grove,
near Hampton Court, where he was upon a visit (to Lady Fanny Burgoigne) the
Rev. Edmund Bentham, B.D., Rector of Wootton Courtney, Somerset, and formerly
Fellow of St John's College." Cole in his collections for an Athenae Cantdbrigienses
has the following account of him.
"He was a tall, thin, gouty person, always wore his short grey hair well
powdered, had a defect in his palate which affected his speech. Miserably covetous,
and was all his life to his death Curate of Sutton, near Potton, in Bedfordshire,
where he also had some small benefice near it. He died on a visit in September
early to Lady Fanny Burgoigne who had much patronized him, and lived always at
her table at Sutton. He died a bachelor, and scraped together by wearing old
cloathes and dirty above £1200, which goes to his surviving brothers and sister,

Philippa. He was an honest man, as were all his brethren, but singularly odd. On
his death Mr Burgoigne, who had been a pupil to him before he went to schole and
had a respect for him, sent to his brother Geoffrey, to come and bury him. He
ordered the Undertaker to bury him in the Parish Church, but understanding it was
off a good distance and fearing an expense of an Herse to carry him, he would have
him buried at the nearest, which it seems was on the other side of the Thames. So
that Mr Edmund Bentham was Eector of a Parish he never was at, but for Induc-
tion; died in a Parish where he was not buried; buried in a Parish with which he
had no connection ; and has a monument in another church wherein he was not
buried, but the curacy of which he had served for near 40 years. Mr Burgoigne
would have persuaded Geoffrey to have put up some memorial for his brother in the
place where he was interred, but he would hear nothing of it, so he ordered one to
be erected for him in Sutton Church at the expense of £20. These circumstances
were related to me by Mr Essex 20 March 1782. I record these things to shew how
little value there is in a seeming brotherly love for which they were all remarkable,
in so much that about a year after the Alderman's death, Edmund calling upon me,
I happened to say it was the very day on which his brother Joseph died, upon which
he fell a crying like a child. Geoffrey also calling here some two years after, I men-
tioned occasionally his brother Joseph, which brought tears into his eyes and
mortified me for having mentioned him. A little gratitude to their memories and
not so much profession and childish roaring and a little more generosity would
convince people more of their natural affection " (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5864).
See the admission of his brothers, Thomas, P. 70 no. 25, and Geoffrey, P. 90
no. 25.
P. 79 no. 16. Wyersdale is in the parish of Garstang.
Wyreside was the residence of the Cawthorne family, who are said to have held
a portion of Wyersdale for six or seven hundred years (Croston's edition of Baines's
History of Lancashire, v, 428).
P. 79 no. 17. Kobert Mawson was ordained Priest 24 May 1741 by the Bishop
of Eochester. He was instituted Vicar of Bramford, Suffolk, 29 June 1744, on the
presentation of the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury, and held the living until his
death 22 May 1760 [Gentleman's Magazine, 1760, p. 297, where he is called Rector
of 'Dipthorn ' and 'Bradfield,' Suffolk).
P. 79 no. 18. Bragg Blagden was ordained Deacon 23 December 1739 by the
Bishop of Norwich when he was licensed to the curacy of Aspall, Suffolk, he was
ordained Priest 6 September 1741 by the Bishop of Chichester. He was appointed
to the Prebend of Hampstead in Chichester Cathedral 5 July 1763 (Hardy's Le Neve,
i, 276, 278). He was instituted Rector of Singleton, Sussex, 26 November 1763,
ceding this in 1764. He was instituted Rector of Binstead 19 October 1764, and
Eector of Slinfold 7 November 1764, to the latter on the presentation of John Parnell
of the Parish of Newfishbourne, Sussex, merchant, both these livings being in
Sussex. On 5 November 1764, when he is described as Chaplain to Charles, Duke
of Richmond, he received a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold
Binstead (valued at £50) with Slinfold (valued at £100), the livings being stated to
be two miles apart. He held both with his Prebend until his death. He was also
sequestrator of All Saints in the Pallant, Chichester, in which city he resided at his
death 3 February 1781. He was buried at All Saints 9 February.
P. 79 no. 19. Henry Harward Darby was admitted a Fellow of the College
10 April 1739, his fellowship was filled up again 26 March 1751. He probably
vacated it through not proceeding to the B.D. degree, as on 13 March 174| a 'Year
of Grace' was granted to him. He was ordained Deacon 23 September 1739, and
Priest 20 September 1741 by the Bishop of Norwich. He died 1 April 1800 at
Boxford, Suffolk [Cambridge Chronicle, 12 April 1800). He was a member of the
S.P.C.K. in 1785 when he is described as of Gorton, Suffolk.
P. 79 no. 20. Richard Stevens was ordained Deacon 22 February 174^ by the
Bishop of Lincoln, and licensed to the curacy of Sproxton, co. Leicester, he was
ordained Priest 6 March 174|^ by the Archbishop of York. He was instituted Eector
of Weston, Notts., 11 March 174|^, and Rector of Harby, co. Leicester, 12 July 1749.
On 26 June 1749, when he is described as Chaplain to Dr Edward Cresset, Bishop of
Llandaff, he had a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Harby
(valued at £140) with Weston (valued at £130), the benefices being stated to be
14 miles apart. He was instituted Rector of Bottesford, co. Leicester, 2 March
466 APPENDIX.
1752 on the presentation of John, Duke of Rutland. On 24 February 1752 he had
a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Bottesford (valued at
£300) with Harby, the benefices being stated to be 20 miles apart. He was collated
to the Prebend of Gretton in Lincoln Cathedral 23 January and installed 21 March
1767, holding this with his two rectories until his death (Hardy's Le Neve, ii, 154).
In the church of Grantham there is a monument with the following inscription:
"In I hoc vicino pulvere | jacet Janae Stevens corpus | Beverendi Richardi Stevens

Richard Stevens had three daughters also buried at Grantham: Georgiana
Sibeller Stevens, died 21 April 1822, aged 75; Diana Dorothy Dodsworth, died
20 October 1795, aged 43; Jane Stevens, who died 9 July 1834, aged 88. He had
also a daughter Martha, who was the wife of the Rev. Philip Laycock Story, who
was Rector of Walton-on-the-Weald, co. Leicester (1776), Vicar of Lockington (1777),
and J. P. for the county of Leicester, he died 25 May 1819, aged 72 {Gentleman's
Magazine, 1819, i, 583 ; History of Leicestershire, ii, 99 ; Turnor, History of
Grantham, 19; Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica, New Series, ii, 439). A son
of Richard Stevens, Edmund Stevens, was an officer in the army, some letters from
him will be found in the Belvoir MSS., iii, index, published by the Historical MSS.
Commission ; he was an equerry to King George III. Thomas Stevens, the father
of Richard, was an Alderman of Grantham in 1732.
P. 79 no. 21. In the British Museum is a MS. Harleian, 7654 (formerly MS.
Add. 5005) which contains memoranda of the births, marriages, deaths, &c., of the
nobility and gentiy in the handwriting of Edward Harley, Earl of Oxford. Amongst
these memoranda is the following: Bowes Howard, Earl of Berkshire. — " Charles
married, 1736, meanly to a woman who lodged in the house where he boarded at
Eaton School. Her maiden name was Manning; old enough to be his mother.
She was a widow of one Lane, a lieutenant at sea, who had halfpay and was upon
what they call the compassionate list. He was a little while at St John's College,
in Cambridge" {Notes and Queries, 2 Ser. i, 325).
I owe to Mr R. Sims (8, Banbury Road, Oxford) the following notes:
Thomas Lane, of Tettenhall, co. Stafford, Lieut., R.N., or in E.I. Co.'s Service,
bom circa 1690, married circa 1712 to Susannah Manning. She was born at
Braintree, Essex, in 1693. They had two children; Susanna, baptized atBraintree
in 1713, and Thomas, baptized at Braintree in 1714. Thomas Lane, the elder, died
circa 1732. Susannah Lane lived at Eton while her son was at the school and so
made the acquaintance of the Hon. Charles Howard. They were married at a
tavern in Bride Lane, Fleet Street, in March 1736. But Charles Howard refused to
reside with his wife in 1741, deserted her and went abroad. He returned to England
in 1747 and was sued for 'restitution' in 1747, but did not obey the judgment which
was against him.
Susannah Howard died in 1764, and was buried at Abbots Langley, co. Herts.
Thomas Lane, her son, by her first husband, received a writership in the E.I.
Co.'s Service in 1730.
Charles Howard, second son of the Earl of Berkshire, was admitted a student of
Lincoln's Inn 12 February 173f.
P. 80 no. 22. Israel Close was ordained Deacon 15 March 173|, and licensed to
the curacy of Tothill, Lincolnshire, by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was instituted
Rector of Beesby, co. Lincoln, 27 May 1742, and held the living until 1771.
P. 80 no. 23. John Wibbersley occurs as under-usher of the Grammar School
at Newcastle-on-Tyne 12 July 1742, he was appointed usher 26 June 1749. On 8
October 1751 he was nominated byLordKavensworth to the curacies of Lamesleyand
Tanfield, co. Durham. He published a sermon preached at St Nicholas' Church in
Newcastle-on-Tyne at the Assizes held there 28 July 1752. He was instituted Vicar
of Woodhorn, co. Northumberland, 6 May 1766, which he ceded on being collated
to the Rectory of Whickham, co. Durham, 8 September 1768. In the chancel of
Whickham Church is a monument with the following inscription: "In memory of
John' Wibbersley, A.M., he was 13 years Rector of this parish, he died 18 April
1782, aged 63, and was buried here." He appears also to have been for some time

a curate at Whickham as he signs the marriage register on 18 September 1756
as John Wibbersley, minister, and on 7 August 1758 and 2 August 1762 as John
Wibbersley, curate. His library, which was curious and valuable, was sold by
Payne of London in 1783 (Brand, History of Newcastle, i, 97 ; H. M. Wood, Notes
on the Rectors of Whickham, Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle-
on-Tyne, \iu, 265; Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, iii, 656).
P. 80 no. 24. Lawrence Bourne, the father, of Marsh Green, surgeon, was
baptized at Ashover 30 October 1677. He died 19 December 1749. His wife, Martha,
died 12 February 1751. William Bourne, the son, died unmarried at College, and
was buried 27 July 1736 (Hunter, Familiae Minorum Gentium, Harleian Soc. Publ.,
xxxvii, 346; Parish Register of All Saints', Cambridge).
P. 80 no. 26. George Barnard, the father, was Rector of Knebworth, Herts.,
1737-1760, and Vicar of Luton, Beds., 19 December 1745-1760. He was probably
the George Barnard, sou of George Barnard, of the parish of St Giles, Loudon,
who matriculated at Oxford from St Mary's Hall 11 October 1707, aged 18. Took
the B.A. at Oxford in 1711 and the M.A. at Cambridge, from Emmanuel College,
in 1723. His son George matriculated at Oxford from Merton College 18 September
1732, aged 17 (Foster, Alumni Oxonienses).
Edward Barnard, of St John's, was ordained Deacon 24 May 1741 by the Bishop
of Lincoln and licensed to the curacy of Knebworth, he was ordained Priest 10
March 1744 by the Bishop of Ely. He was admitted a Fellow of the College 13
March 174f and his fellowship was filled up again in April 1756. In 1752 he was
at Eton as tutor to the sons of the Hon. Mr Thomas Townshend, M.P. for the
University in seven Parliaments. By him he was presented to the Rectory of
Paul's Cray, Kent, and instituted 25 September 1752. He was presented by the
College to the Vicarage of Ospringe, Kent, 25 February 1756 and instituted 14
April following. On 29 March 1756 he had a dispensation from the Archbishop of
Canterbury to hold Paul's Cray (valued at £200) with Ospringe (valued at £90),
the two livings being stated to be 30 miles apart. He became Head-Master of
Eton College in 1754; was appointed Canon of Windsor 5 June 1760. He was
appointed Provost of Eton 25 October 1765, and held this with his Rectory of
Paul's Cray and his Canonry until his death 2 December 1781. He married 25
August 1760 Miss Haggett, of Richmond {Gentleman^s Magazine, 1760, p. 394).
As Head-Master of Eton he was very successful and raised its numbers and repu-
tation. Cole says of him (MSS. Cole xxxiv, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5835, p. 38):
" Dr Barnard was the son of Mr Barnard, Vicar of Luton in Bedfordshire, and
being educated at Eton schole, and superannuated, was entered of St John's College
in Cambridge (and had from it the Vicarage of Ospringe in Kent), where he became
Fellow. He afterwards went assistant to Eton Schole, where his scholarship and
disposition for that kind of life were so conspicuous that on a vacancy he was
preferred to the Head-Mastership of that Royal schole: which by his great
learning, superior management and exact and nice discipline, he soon brought to
that eminence, as never had been known before. For the number of scholars by
a great many exceeded 500, during all the time he was in that station : so that I
am credibly informed, that his own endowment as Head-Master was every year
above £1500, by the flourishing state he had brought the schole into. So that a
man of his great parts and reputation could not, in his situation, be long without
such preferment as he chose. Accordingly he was made King's Chaplain and had
a Canonry of Windsor, reckoned one of the most gentile preferments of that sort
in the kingdom, conferred upon him. As Dr Sleech, a bachelor, had been in a
very declining way for years before his death, so it gave a fair opportunity for
those who had pretensions to ask for this desirable preferment of 700 pounds a
year to be early enough in their applications for it : accordingly my friend Dr Lyne,
one of the Fellows, had the promise of it, and would certainly, without the great-
est ill fortune, have succeeded to it, had not the Earl of Sandwich, his great
friend and patron, who had got him the promise of it, in case he continued
in the Ministry, been, with his cousin the Earl of Halifax, just then turned out
from being the two Secretaries of State: and at this critical junction, the worthy
Marquis of Granby, equally a friend to Dr Barnard, had so much interest with
the new Ministry as to get him elected. To the extreme mortification of Dr Lyne.
Dr Barnard was always a little lame, wearing an iron to strengthen one leg, or
foot. He is a thin man pitted with the smaU-pox, of a most lively and piercing

APPENDIX.
eye, suflBciently indicative of his lively and sprightly genius. Too apt as I have
been told, by those who know him better than I do, to dwindle now and then
into sneer and sarcasm, though always esteemed a very good tempered man.
While he was Master of Eton Schole, he married a West Indian lady of a good
fortune, but who lived with him not many years. His father also left him,
according to report £10,000, so that his income is very ample; I have heard, about
£2000 per annum. "
A very interesting account of Dr Barnard is given by George Hardinge in
Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, viii, 543-554. From this the following passages may
be quoted: "Besides other faculties, in his eloquence he had the charm of a
musical voice, and, in reading or speaking, a most exquisite ear. He had all
imaginable variety of companionable talents, and could, in serious debate, out-
argue the doughtiest champions pitted against him. He could also, without
servility, make himself acceptable to superiors in rank, who had no taste for his
mirth, or capacity for the enjoyment of it ; for he was always a perfect gentleman.
If nature had given him Garrick's features and figure, he would have been scarce
inferior to him in theatrical powers. He was an admirable mimic; but he was
never, like that wonderful man, an actor off the stage. He had sparkling eyes
and fine teeth; but his features were coarse, his face rather bloated, and his
complexion too sanguine. His figure though compact and strong, had the defect
of short, and as they are called, club feet, which gave a kind of swing to his gait,
the result of this partial deformity; but converted by him into a gesture and
movement of dignity not ungraceful."
In the Ante-chapel of Eton College there is a mural tablet to his memory with
this inscription: "M.S. | Edwardi Barnard S.T.P. | qui Scholae Etonensis disci-
plinam et famam | per annos undecim auxit et stabilivit, | Magister, Informator. |
Collegium deinde per sedecim annos | feliciter administravit, | Praepositus. | Vir
acerrimi ingenii, | variaque eruditione cumulatus; | moribus integerrimis | pietate
conspicuus. | Concionator vehemens, facundus ; | idemque veritatis subtilis in-
dagator. | In coUoquiis venustus et admirabilis; | facetiarum scatebris abundans, |
et verbis Attico lepore conditis. | Ut indolem penitus noscas. Lector, | fuit vir ille
memorabilis | ad maximas capessendas | a Natura comparatus ; I ad quodvis munus
obeundum | instructissimus. | Vixit annos LXIV menses VII ; | decessit IV Nonas
Decembris, | anno Salutis MDCCLXXXI; | et Harpendiae in agro Hertfordiensi |
sepultus est. | Hoc marmor | Edoardus (quem unicum habuit) Filius | Parent!
Optimo et dilectissimo | Moerens poni curavit."
On this Mr Hardinge remarks: "Excellent as it is I could rather have wished
for a more pointed eloge upon his fortitude and his wonderful talent for command
in whatever station he filled. I could also have been pleased with little more stress
upon the revulsion (for that name I would give to it) which took place in the fame
of Eton School after the domination of it fell into his hands.. ..I have not actually
ascertained the dates of the accumulating numbers from the average of 300 boys
to that of 500 at which he left his throne ; and which it has preserved ever since.
But the whole style and spirit of the machine were new made by him."

History of Eton College. There is a portrait of Dr Barnard at Eton which is
reproduced in Benson's Fasti Etonenses.
P. 80 no. 26. John Eobinson took the B.A. degree in 1738 and the M.A. in
1742. One of these names was instituted Vicar of Seaham, co. Durham, 14 Sep-
tember 1741, and held the living until 1779.
P. 80 no. 28. Thomas Wingfield was son of John Wingfield of Tickencote. He

15 March 173f and licensed to the curacy of St George's in Stamford, he was
ordained Priest 10 August 1740, when he was curate of Waternewton, Hunts., all
by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was instituted Bector of Market Overton, co.
Eutland, 4 November 1740. He married at Wing, 27 October 1743, Elizabeth,
daughter and coheiress of William Julian of Market Overton. On the floor of the
chancel of the church at Tickencote there is a slab with an inscription to the
memory of the Kev. Thomas Wingfield, who died 19 December 1759, and of
Elizabeth his widow, who died 23 March 1783 (Blore, History of Rutland, 70, where
there is a pedigree; Gentleman's Magazine, 1862, ii, 207).
P. 80 no. 29. William Currer was the only surviving son of Henry Currer, of
APPENDIX. 469
Skipton, by his second wife Jane, daughter of William Banks, attomey-at-law.
He was baptized 8 March 1717. He was ordained Deacon 18 October 1739 by the
Bishop of Chester, and Priest 18 September 1741 by the Bishop of London. He
was collated to the vicarage of Clapham, Yorks., by the Bishop of Chester, 10 July
1755, which he held until his death. He married Ann, the daughter of John
Stokoe, lieutenant R.N., of Blackburn, and on 10 November 1778 was appointed
curate of the church of Whitworth, in the parish of Rochdale, on the nomination
of the Starkeys. He died 11 November 1803, aged 87, and was buried at Clapham.
He left issue a son William and three daughters (Fishwick, History of the Parish
of Rochdale, 174).
P. 80 no. 30. ' Fretwell Vandernan was ordained Deacon 23 September 1739
and licensed to the curacy of Ley, co. Lincoln, by the Bishop of Lincoln, he was
ordained Priest 24 May 1741 and licensed to the curacy of Tilney, Norfolk, by the
Bishop of Norwich. He was instituted Vicar of Woolavington, Somerset, 28 Sep-
tember 1757 on the presentation of the Dean and Chapter of Windsor, ceding this
on his institution 28 July 1763 to the Vicarage of Wyrardsbury, Bucks., this he
seems to have held till 1803.
P. 80 no. 31. George Felton, the father, was perhaps of Sidney Sussex College,
B.A. 1705, and is probably the person of that name buried in the churchyard of
St Anne's, Manchester, with the following inscription on his tombstone : " Hie recon-
ditae sunt reliquiae | Reverendi Georgii Felton, A.M. | qui obiit Nov. 27 | anno
(salutis 1721, aetatis 40) | et Elizabethae uxoris ejus | quae obiit Feb. 1 anno
(salutis 1760, aetatis 45) " {Gentleman's Magazine, 1794, p. 297). William Felton,
the son, was perhaps the person of that name instituted Rector of Wenden Lofts
with Elmdon, Essex, 20 October 1740, holding the living until his death 9 January
1781, at which time he was also Master of the Free School at Highgate {ibid. 1781,
p. 47 a). One William Felton, B.A., was ordained Priest 11 August 1742 by the
Bishop of Hereford in the parish church of Stretton, in the diocese of Hereford,
being then one of the Vicars Choral of Hereford Cathedral.
P. 80 no. 32. John Brome was ordained Deacon 18 March 173f and licensed
to the curacy of Nedging, Suffolk, with a salary of £20, he was ordained Priest
20 May 1744 and licensed to the curacy of Hollesley, Suffolk, all by the Bishop of
Norwich.
P. 80 no. 33. Samuel Baskett, son of Samuel Baskett, of St Thomas's, Salisbury,
clerk, matriculated at Oxford from Christ Church, 16 October 1728, aged 18. He
took the B.A. degree at Oxford in 1732 (Foster, Alumni Oxoniemes). The father
was a Fellow of St John's, two of whose other sons were members of the College
(P. 70 no. 27 and P. 96 no. 12, and the notes thereon). Samuel Baskett, the
younger, does not seem to have taken the M.A. degree at Cambridge. He was
instituted to the following livings, all in Dorset : Vicar of Shapwick 20 March 173f ,
Vicar of Combe Keynes 21 May 1744 and Rector of Broadmayne 31 May 1753.
He seems to have resigned Combe Keynes in 1750 but to have held the other two
livings until his death. On the south wall of the chancel of Shapwick Church is a
tablet with the following inscription: " Samuel Baskett, A.M. Vicar of this parish
and Rector of Broad Main died the 23rd of February 1793, in the 84th year of his
age. Jane his wife, daughter of Mr William Russell of Honeybrook, gent., died
the 24th of December 1761, aged 49 " (Hutchins, History of Dorset, iii, 170, 173,
where there is a pedigree). Two of his sons were admitted to the College, William,
P. 141 no. 27, and John, P. 168 no. 23. Another son, Robert Russell Baskett, ma-
triculated at Oxford from Merton College 28 March 1765, aged 17 (Foster, Alumni
Oxonienses).
P. 80 no. 34. Thomas Manningham was Fellow of Queens' College (B.A. 1705)
and was Rector of Slinfold, Sussex, 1711 to 1750. Thomas Manningham, the
younger, was ordained Deacon 12 May 1743, at a special ordination in King
Henry VII, Chapel at Westminster, and Priest 29 May 1743 in the Parish Church
of Bromley, both by the Bishop of Rochester. He was instituted Vicar of Wis-
borough Green, with Lockwood curacy, co. Sussex, 13 May 1748, holding the
living until 1761.
P. 80 no. 35. Richard Manningham was curate of Slinfold and was buried there
5 May 1745 (Mr E. H. W. Dunkin).
P. 80 no. 36. Dixon Story was ordained Deacon 23 September 1739 and licensed
470 APPENDIX.
to the curacy of Bloxholme, co. Lincoln, he was ordained Priest 13 June 1742 and
licensed to the curacy of Wragby, co. Lincoln, &l\ by the Bishop of Lincoln. He
was instituted Rector of Martin 3 July 1753, his successor there was instituted
12 July 1754. He was instituted Vicar of Langton-by- Wragby 28 May 1755 and
Rector of East Barkwith 24 April 1760, all these livings being in Lincolnshire; the
two latter were filled up again early in 1769.
P. 80 no. 37. John Swift was ordained Deacon 24 December 1738 by the Bishop
of Lincoln and licensed to the curacy of Dunton, Beds.
P. 81 no. 38. This is perhaps the John Jembelin, gentleman, son and heir of
James Jembelin of Ramsay, Hunts., esquire, who was admitted a student of the
Inner Temple 10 May 1740.
John Jembelin took the degree of B.A. from Trinity Hall in 1788.
P. 81 no. 1. John Lloyd was ordained Deacon 14 March 174^ and licensed to
the curacy of St Ives, Hunts., he was ordained Priest 27 February 174| , all by the
Bishop of Lincoln.
P. 81 no. 4. The Right Honourable Henry Maxwell (the father) was of the
family of Maxwell, Lord Faruham. He married, first Jane, daughter of the Rev.
Henry Maxwell, Rector of Derrynoose, co. Armagh, and sister of John, first Lord
Farnham, but by her had no issue. He married secondly Dorothea, daughter of
Edward Bryce, esquire, of Kilroot, co. Armagh. Edward Maxwell was his third
son.
Edward Maxwell, described as second son of the Right Hon. Henry Maxwell,
late of Fennybrogue, co. Down, Ireland, esquire, deceased, was admitted a student
of the Inner Temple 20 January 173| .
He took no degree at Cambridge. He afterwards entered the army and became
a General and Colonel of the 67th Regiment.
He is stated to have married early, perhaps a foreign lady, and to have been
wounded in the battle of Fontenoy 11 May 1745, a few months after his only son
Edward Phineas Maxwell was born (Burke's Peerage, Lord Farnham; Burke's
Landed Gentry, Maxwell of Ballyrolly; letters from the Rev. Edward Maxwell of
Ballyrolly). He died in Greek Street, Soho, 22 February 1803, and was buried in
St Anne's, Soho.
P. 81 no. 6. Nathaniel Ball does not seem to have graduated. On 5 October
1738 he was unanimously elected Usher of the Free School or School of the Holy
Ghost, at Basingstoke, by the mayor, aldermen and burgesses of the town. He
appears however to have neglected his duties, for a statement of the case drawn
up 18 June 1740 recites, "That Mr Ball continued to teach the youths of the School
till about Christmas 1739, when he thought fit to accept a curacy at so great a
distance as rendered his personal attendance as Usher impossible. Subsequent
to this Mr Ball acquainted the Corporation with his thoughts of resigning his
Ushership at Lady Day 1740. Instead of doing so he has imposed a young fellow
on the Corporation to supply his place of Usher; has totally taken himself from
doing duty as such, and refuses absolutely to resign the same unless he can be
thereupon compelled by law." On 8 October 1740 the minutes of the Corporation
record, " Mr Ball was removed from the Ushership for neglect of duty and absenting
himself in parts remote from the said town and school, imposing one Mr Wimbolt
in his stead contrary to the good liking and approbation of the said trustees, and
in prejudice to the youth educated at the said School " (Baigent and Millard,
History of Basingstoke, 689). Mr Ball married 11 January 173| Barbara Lytton
of Basingstoke, daughter of Alexander Lytton, Rector of Eastrop, 1724, and after-
wards in 1732 Vicar of Sherborne St John [ibid. p. 151). One Nathaniel Ball was
instituted Vicar of Great Tey 16 October 1746, and Rector of Castle Hadleigh
11 December 1750, both in Essex. The latter was vacant in 1758 and the former
in 1762. A Nathaniel Ball was instituted Rector of Wisley with Purford, Surrey,
13 November 1762, and held the living until 1766.
P. 81 no. 8. John Bowling was ordained Deacon 22 February 174f by the
Bishop of Lincoln (when it is stated that he intended to be a chaplain in the
Navy) and Priest 17 March 174^, by the Bishop of St David's. He was instituted
Rector of Letterston with Llanfair Chapel, co. Pembroke, 18 November 1745, but
ceded this on his institution 9 December 1751 to the Rectory of Llawrenney, co.
Pembroke. He was instituted Rector of Narberth with the Chapel of Robeston, co.
J
APPENDIX. 471
Pembroke, 14 December 1751. On 10 December 1751, when he is described as
Chaplain to Thomas, Earl of Bradford, he received a dispensation from the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury to hold the two latter livings, their values being stated as
£45 and £100 respectivelv, and to be six miles apart. Both livings were vacant
in 1757.
P. 81 no. 9. John Griffith was ordained Deacon 6 May 1739 and Priest 20
September 1741 by the Bishop of Lincoln. When he was ordained Priest it is
stated that he was "presented to Peatling, Leicestershire." This was perhaps a
mistake as he was never Rector of Peatling, and one Thomas Bright was instituted
Vicar of Little Peatling by the Bishop of Lincoln 9 November 1741. In 1742 John
Griffith was nominated to the chapelry of Wentworth within the parish of Wath,
Yorks., in the gift of the Marquis of Rockingham, and was licensed thereto by
the Archbishop of York. He was instituted Vicar of Leathley, Yorks., 13 January
174|, on the presentation of the Lord Chancellor, and instituted Rector of Thurn-
scoe, Yorks., 16 July 1748. On 11 July 1748, when he is described as Chaplain to
Mary, Baroness Dowager Oliphant, he received a dispensation from the Archbishop of
Canterbury to hold Leathley (valued at £100) with Thurnscoe (valued at £150), the
two benefices being stated to be 22 miles apart. In the Ecclesiastical Legal Guide,
1839, pp. 168-172, will be found a curious ' Case ' submitted to counsel in 1749-50,
on behalf of the Archbishop of York. The point being whether John Griffith on
his institution to Leathley did not vacate the perpetual curacy of Wentworth, he
not having obtained a dispensation to hold the two. He was at that time holding
all three livings (Wentworth, Leathley, and Thurnscoe). A curious sidelight is
thrown on such pluralists by the following clause in the ' Case ' : " The said Mr
John Griffith hath not for a year last past resided at any one of the benefices before
mentioned, and it is presumed that he hath not during that time been resident and
done duty in the family of the Lady Oliphant."
John Griffith ceded Leathley in 1755. He was instituted Rector of Treeton,
Yorks., 8 December 1768, and held this with Thurnscoe until 1764.
In Croston's edition of Baines's History of Lancashire, ii, 362, a Dr John Griffith
who was Rector of Prestwich and also Rector of Eckington in Derbyshire is
identified with John Griffith of St John's, but this seems to be an error. The
John Griffith who held the above Yorkshire preferments is distinctly stated in the
Act Books of the Bishop of Lincoln and Archbishop of Canterbury to have been
of St John's College. The Rector of Prestwich, who was D.D., was probably of
Christ's College, Cambridge, A.M. 1722, D.D. 1741. John Griffith of St John's
did not proceed to the D.D. degree.
P. 82 no. 11. Thomas Strong was ordained Deacon 1 June 1740 by the Bishop
of Lincoln and licensed to the curacy of How, co. Leicester. He was instituted
Rector of Ingoldmells, co. Lincoln, 1 May 1742, ceding this on his institution
5 October 1749 to the Rectory of Hargrave, Northamptonshire, this he held until
his death 30 January 1797, aged 79 (Gentleman's Magazine, 1797, p. 171 a). He
assisted Richard Cumberland in his studies soon after the latter entered at Trinity
College, who says of him: "A better man I never knew, a brighter scholar might
easily have been found, yet we read together some few hours in every day, and
these readings were almost entirely confined to the Greek Testament ; there I had
a teacher in Mr Strong well worthy of my best attention, for none could better
recommend by practice what he illustrated by precept, than this exemplary young
man. He some time after married very happily, and i-esided on his living of
Hargrave in our neighbourhood, universally respected, and I trust it is not among
my sins of omission ever after to have forgotten his services or failed in my
attention to him " {Memoirs of Richard Cumberland, 68).
P. 82 no. 14. Peter Creffield was the only son of Ralph Creffield, J.P., alder-
man of Colchester. He was admitted to Colchester School 23 January 172| . Peter
Creffield succeeded his grandfather Sir Ralph Creffield in the estates at Mersea,
Ardleigh, and elsewhere in Essex in 1732. He married at St Michael's, Cornhill,
London, 7 October 1738, Thamar Langley, of St Peter's, Colchester. They left an
only daughter and heiress Thamar, who married James Round of Birch Hall in
1758 (Round, Register of the Scholars admitted to Colchester School, 90).
P. 82 no. 16. Robert Watson was ordained Deacon 21 December 1740 and
Priest 24 May 1741 by the Bishop of Rochester. He was instituted Rector of
Foulness, Essex, 22 March 1753, his successor there being instituted in October
472 APPENDIX.
1757. He was presented by the Earl of Egremont to the Rectory of South Bradon,
Somerset, and instituted there 11 August 1756, holding this until his death. He
was presented by the Crown to the Vicarage of Newport Pagnell, Bucks., was
instituted 7 May and inducted 12 May 1757. He is said to have come to the
Vicarage of Newport Pagnell from the curacy of Burley in Rutland. He died in
1788 (Lipscombe, History of Buckinghamshire, iv, 287).
P. 82 no. 16. There is some difficulty in separating the careers of this Edward
Robinson and his namesake P. 91 no. 39. This Edward Robinson was ordained
Deacon 21 September 1740 and licensed to the curacy of Empingham, co. Rutland;
he is probably the Edward Robinson who was ordained Priest 25 September 1743
and licensed to the curacy of Luton, Beds., all by the Bishop of Lincoln. On each
occasion he is described in the Bishop's registers as of St John's College, and at
his ordination as Priest as M.A., though he does not appear to have taken the
M.A. degree according to the printed Graduati and his namesake was not then an
M.A. He is probably (being a Beverley man) the Rev. Edward Robinson of the
parish of St John, Beverley, who was married 8 July 1742, in York Minster, to
Sarah Tomlin, of Beverley. On 2 September 1755 Edward Robinson, M.A., was
instituted Rector of Winestead, Yorks., and held the living until his death in 1759
(Yorkshire Archaeological and Topographical Journal, iii, 98).
P. 82 no. 17. William Wroughton, son of George Wroughton of Codford, Wilts.,
clerk, matriculated at Oxford from Wadham College 28 March 1705, aged 17.
He was an exhibitioner in 1705 and a scholar in 1706. He took the B.A. degree
at Oxford in 1708, and the M.A. degree at Cambridge from St John's in 1736.
He was ordained Deacon 28 October 1710 and Priest 23 September 1711 by the
Bishop of Salisbury. He became Vicar of Westbury, Wilts., in 1730 and Vicar of
Norton Bavant, Wilts., in 1736. On 10 May 1736, when he is described as Chaplain
to the Duke of Atholl, he received a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canter-
bury to hold both livings, then valued at £100 and £50 respectively and stated to
be about six miles apart. He held both until his death in 1749 (Foster, Alumni
Oxonienses; Phillipps, Institutiones Willoniae, ii, 66, 73).
P. 82 no. 19. This is perhaps the John Miller, A.B., who was presented by the
Archbishop of York (by lapse) to the Vicarage of Almondbury, Yorks., and instituted
there 14 July 1767 (Hulbert, Annals of the Church in Almondbury, 96). He is
probably identical with the John Miller who was instituted Rector of Cowthorpe,
Yorks., 14 October 1748. Both livings were vacant early in 1768.
P. 82 no. 20. John Boardman was ordained Deacon 24 February 174^^ by the
Bishop of Peterborough and licensed to the curacy of Whittering, Northampton-
shire, he was ordained Priest 19 September 1742 by the Bishop of Lincoln, and
licensed to the curacy of Melbourne, co. Leicester.
P. 82 no. 21. John Edwards was ordained Deacon 21 December 1740 by the
Bishop of Lincoln and licensed to the curacy of Bosworth, co. Leicester. He is
perhaps the John Edwards who was instituted Vicar of Marston-upon-Dove, co.
Derby, 13 June 1750, holding the living until 1804. A Rev. John Edwards, M.A.,
of RoUeston, Notts., died 22 April 1804, at Southwell, aged 71 (Gentleman's
Magazine, 1804, i, 384), but this age does not agree with the College Register.
P. 82 no. 22. John Greatorex was ordained Deacon 1 June 1740 by the Bishop
of Lincoln, when he was licensed to the curacy of Sibsey, co. Lincoln, and Priest
21 September 1746 by the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry. He was instituted
Vicar of Great Dalby, co. Leicester, 25 May 1752. In 1756 he purchased the
advowson of the Vicarage of Abkettilby, co. Leicester, for £1000 and was instituted
on his own petition 16 September 1756. On 10 March 1757, when he is described
as Chaplain to Henry, Duke of Buccleugh, he received a dispensation to hold
Great Dalby with Abkettilby, the livings being stated to be of the respective
values of £70 and £100, and to be six miles apart. He was again instituted Vicar
of Great Dalby 12 March 1757. He died in December 1757 (Nichols, History of
Leicestershire, ii, 13 ; iii, 243).
P. 83 no. 23. Benjamin Burrow was ordained Deacon 2 March 17|| and was
licensed to the curacy of Sileby, co. Leicester, he was ordained Priest 24 May 1741,
all by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was instituted Vicar of Hayton 17 February
and Vicar of Clareborough 16 February 174f , both in Notts. He ceded these on
being instituted Rector of Matlock and Vicar of Tibshelf, both co. Derby, 4 October
I
APPENDIX. 473
1753. He was instituted Kector of Morton, co. Derby, 1 November 1765. On 12
October 1765, when he is described as Chaplain to William, Duke of Devonshire,
he received a dispensation to hold Matlock with Morton, the respective values of
these livings being stated to be £90 and £100, and to be five miles apart. His
successor at Tibshelf was instituted in April 1768, he held the other two livings
until 1780. He married Mary Bourne, daughter of Henry Bourne, of the Spital
near Chesterfield, M.D. and clerk, by Sarah, youngest daughter of Thomas Glad-
win of Durant Hall (Hunter, Familiae Minorum Gentium, Harl. Soc. Publ. xxxvii,
308, 347, 348, where there are pedigrees).
P. 83 no. 24. George Hatfield was ordained Deacon 1 June 1740 and Priest
19 September 1741 by the Bishop of Chester. He was instituted Vicar of Long
Parish, or Middleton, Hants., 27 March 1746, ceding this on his institution 28 May
1762 to the Vicarage of Doncaster, Yorks. He was instituted Vicar of Ottley,
Yorks., 21 May 1782. On 15 May 1782, when he is described as Chaplain to
Dr Thomas Thurlow, Bishop of Lincoln, he received a dispensation from the
Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Doncaster (valued at £120) with Ottley (valued
at £90), the two benefices being stated to be not more than 22 miles apart. He
was " excused attendance and examination, being so paralytic that he cannot
write." He held both livings until his death in 1785.
P. 83 no. 26. Peter Holford, eldest son of Kobert Holford, a Master of the
High Court of Chancery and a Master of the Bench, was admitted a student of
Lincoln's Inn 25 July 1735, and was called to the Bar 20 November 1740. He
was called to the Bench of his Inn 28 June 1758 and sat 28 November following ;
he was Treasurer of the Inn in 1777. He was a Master in Chancery from 1750
to 1804. The Register of Lincoln's Inn Chapel contains the following entry:
" Peter Holford, esquire, a Bencher of this Honourable Society, died 14 July, and
was buried 21 July 1804." He married Anne, daughter of William Nutt of Buxted,
Sussex.
Eobert Holford, his father, second and youngest son of Sir Bichard Holford,
knight, Bencher of Lincoln's Inn, matriculated at Oxford from Trinity College
29 October 1702, aged 16 (Foster, Alumni Oxonienses). He was admitted a student
of Lincoln's Inn 5 April 1703, and was called to the Bar 27 January 17ff . He
was called to the Bench of the Inn 3 June 1715 and sat 28 November following.
He was Treasurer of the Inn in 1724 and a Master in Chancery from 1712 to 1750.

P. 83 no. 33. One Richard Bridgeman was instituted Rector of Shimpling-
thorne 9 February 1764 and Rector of Barnardiston 7 August 1764, both in Suffolk.
He died 30 June 1766 [Gentlevian's Magazine, 1766, p. 342 6).
P. 83 no. 34. John Fitzherbert was the second son of William Fitzherbert of
Tissington and his wife Rachel Bagshaw (Hunter, Familiae Minorum Gentium,
Harleian Soc. Publ. xxxvii, 252, where there is a pedigree). He was instituted
Vicar of Doveridge, Derbyshire, 19 February 174^, and Vicar of Ashborne in the
same county 22 February 17ff, being again instituted Vicar of Doveridge 24
February 17*^. The Vicarage of Ashborne was vacant in 1772, but he held
Doveridge until his death. His wife's name was Susan Peacock, but he had no
issue (I.e.). The name of John Fitzherbert occurs in the month of February
1752 as Head Master of the Grammar School at Ashborne, probably only a tem-
porary appointment (Carlisle, Endowed Grammar Schools, i, 214).
He was a Fellow of Emmanuel College, and his name occurs as a subscriber
to Richardson's Godwin in 1743. He had as his curate at Ashborne, Ellis Farne-
worth (B.A. 1734 of Jesus College), translator of the works of Machiavel (Nichols,
Literai'y Anecdotes, ii, 392, note). He died probably in June or July 1785 (Gentle-
man's Magazine, 1785, p. 665 h).
P. 83 no. 35. Henry Mickelson was ordained Deacon 13 June 1742 and licensed

P. 84 no. 36. Thomas Steed, son of Benjamin Steed, of Launceston, Cornwall,
gentleman, matriculated at Oxford from Pembroke College 14 May 1719, aged 17.
He took the B.A. degree at Oxford in 1723 (Foster, Alumni Oxonienses), and the
M.A. at Cambridge, from St John's, in 1736.
P. 84 no. 37. William Hammond took the degree of B.A. in 1739 and became
a Moravian minister. He was the author of the following works: (1) Behold the
Lamb: a discourse on John i. 29, London, 1745, 12mo. ; (2) Christian Holiness. A
discourse on Hebrews xii. 14, Bristol, 1745, 12mo. ; (3) The Christian Liberty. A
discourse on Galatians iii. 24, 25, Bristol, 1745, 12mo. ; (4) Medulla Ecclesiae.
The doctrines of original sin, justification by faith, and the Holy Spirit, fairly
stated and clearly demonstrated from the Homilies, Articles, and Liturgies of the
Church of England, etc., London, 1745, 8vo. ; (5) Only believe, A discourse on
Mark v. 36, London, 1745, 12mo. ; (6) Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs,
London, 1745, 12mo. On the title-page of all these is " By William Hammond,
B.A., Late of St John's College in Cambridge."
Mr John F. Maitland sends the following notes : Part I of the Medulla Ecclesiae
was published in London in 1745, and is stated to be "The substance of several
discourses preached at Cambridge." Part II was published in Bristol in the same
year. On the fly-leaf of a reprint of the Medulla Ecclesiae, published in Birmingham
either at the end of the eighteenth, or at the commencement of the nineteenth
century, there is in a copy I have a note in MS. by Daniel Sedgwick, November
1863, "Mr William Hammond was a Moravian minister. He was buried at the
Moravian Burial-ground, Chelsea, 1783. His volume of Hymns was published
in 1745 as well as several of his discourses reprinted in this volume. He wrote
his life in Greek, which is still in the Moravian Archives, Fetter Lane, Holborn."
From an inspection of his work Medulla Ecclesiae he seems to have been a
critical scholar, well read in the early Fathers and in the Latin Commentators, as
well as the great divines of the English Church who were ' Augustinian ' in their
sentiments. His style is easy, and free from those ecstatic turns common to many
of the early Methodists at that time. He must have been ordained in the Church
of England, but I conclude he (as Bishop Gambold did) became more closely
united to the Moravians.

their Authors and Origin, 152.
APPENDIX. 475
P. 84 no. 38. Francis Okely took the B.A. degree in 1739, but did not proceed
to the M.A. degree. He became a Moravian minister and was ordained by that
body. He had a chapel at Bedford in 1745, later a chapel at Eisely near Bedford.
He was the first minister of a Moravian congregation at Dukinfield, near Man-
chester, he dates a letter from there 5 July 1755 (Dawnings of the Everlasting
Gospel-light, 145). After 1766 he settled at Northampton, where he had a Moravian
congregation until his death. He died while on a visit to Bedford 9 May 1794,
aged 75. A notice of him appears in the Gentleman's Magazine, 1794, i. 574. It
is there stated that after being ordained Deacon in the Moravian Church he offered
himself as candidate for Priest's orders in the Church of England, but as the
Bishop wished to set aside his first orders, Mr Okely thought he could not receive
Priest's orders on such terms and therefore continued through life to officiate in
the Brethren's congi-egation. Neither the date of this application nor the name
of the Bishop to whom it was made are given.
The Eegister of the Bishop of Peterborough contains the following entry
among the Caveats: "Okely, Francis, of Bedford, pretends to have been ordained
Deacon by James (corrected to Joannes) de Watteville, a Moravian Bishop at
Herrnhaag in Wetteravia 4 July 1747. Caution against him 8 August 1763."
There is nothing in the Kegister to shew why this entry was made. According
to the usual accounts of Okely he was acting as a Moravian minister before the
date of his formal ordination in their Church. On the other hand Okely is stated
to have assisted the Eev. Jacob Eogers, a clergyman of the Established Church, at
Bedford in 1742 (Tyerman, The Oxford Methodists, 121).
Dyer (History of the University and Colleges of Cambridge, ii, 208) gives an
account of Okely which he seems to have collected from Moravian sources. From
this it would seem that the Moravians considered Okely to be a disciple of his
own school and not strictly of theirs, though they received his ministry and
greatly respected him as an upright and conscientious man. Okely, though a good
classical scholar himself, tried to persuade the Moravians to substitute the Fathers
and the sacred poetry of the Jews for heathen Greek and Latin; in this he was
not successful. At Northampton he is stated to have had a printing-press in his
own house from which he issued a number of small volumes of a devotional kind.
The imprint on the title-page varies, but they seem to have been printed at North-
ampton for the author or translator and to have been on sale in London, Bristol
and Leeds. Some of them were little copies of verses on blue paper, but Okely
invariably describes himself on the title-page as " Formerly of St John's College,
Cambridge." He was a friend of John Wesley, who refers to him in his Journal
30 August 1770. After quoting from Lord Lyttelton's ' Dialogues of the Dead ' he
proceeds: "Martin has spawned a strange brood of fellows, called Methodists,
Moravians, Hutchinsonians, who are madder than Jack was in his worst days"
and asks, " Could his Lordship shew me in England many more sensible men than
Mr Gambold and Mr Okely? and yet both of them were called Moravians."
There can be little doubt that the blank in Wesley's entry 1 August 1757 is to be
filled with Mr Okely's name (Notes and Queries, 1881, ii, 263). "Mon. Aug. 1. I
had much conversation with Mr — (whom, against a thousand appearances, I will
believe to be an honest, though irresolute, man). 'While I was very uneasy,'
said he, ' in the year 1741 my brother brought me to Mr Spangenberg, and then
to others of the German brethren, to whom I was more and more attached till in
the year 1743 I went over to Marienborn. There I saw many things which I could
not approve and was more and more uneasy till I returned to England. I was
afterwards much employed by the brethren. I was ordained Deacon. But still
I had a sore and burdened conscience, and gained no ground in my spiritual
warfare ; nay rather having laid aside prayer and searching the Scripture, I was
dead to God. But in 1750 I woke again and was under great agonies of mind.
And from this time I wrote to the Count again and again, and to most of the
labourers, but to no purpose. Andrew Fry's account is true. The spirit of levity
and frolicsomeness, which he justly describes, broke out in about 1746 and is not
yet purged out. In May last I wrote and delivered a declaration to the brethren
met in conference at Lindsay House that I did not dare to remain in their con-
nexion any longer. The same declaration I made to them here a few days ago.
What further I am to do I know not ; but I trust in God.'
" Tues. 2. On his expressing a desire to be present at our conference, I invited
him to it ; and on Wednesday 3rd in the evening, he came to the Foundery. Our

476 APPENDIX.
conference began the next morning and continued till the Thursday following.
From the first hour to the last there was no jarring string, but all was harmony and
love." On the levity of expression among the Moravians see some curious details
in the life of John Gambold, one of their Bishops (Tyerman, Oxford Methodists,
183-4). Okely, irresolute as Wesley describes him, described himself as a Mystic:
writing of his own views he says: "As I really believe that the despised thing,
commonly called Mysticism, is the just medium between Infidelity on the one hand,
and Superstition, with her two daughters, Bigotry and Enthusiasm, on the other,
I therefore for that reason, and purely for that reason only, attached myself to it ;
esteeming it the greatest happiness, to make it my capital study to plead its cause,
and promote its most invaluable interests, with all the influence of ray poor, feeble
tongue and pen" (Monthly Review, 1751, ii, 319). The notice of Okely in the
Gentleman's Magazine (reprinted in Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, iii, 93) concludes
as follows: "He was a man of a Catholic and Christian spirit; of much learning
and great piety: but his conversation was easy and cheerful, and his temper
benevolent and cordial. Though he moved in a narrow circle, almost unknown
to fame, yet he was usefully employed, respected where known, aud a valuable
Christian guide and friend. He esteemed and cultivated the religion of the heart.
The writings of William Law were highly regarded by him. He was well versed
in the old German divinity ; and collected and translated the Life of Jacob Behmen,
and the Visions of Hiel and Engelbrecht. Of the value of these, different readers
will form different judgments. Mr Okely only claimed for himself, what he per-
mitted to others, the liberty of opinion. So far as we can know the heart of man
I am certain that all his various labours proceeded from sincere piety and benevo-
lence. Who then shall cast at him the stone of condemnation ? In the course of
his life he suffered heavy afflictions, which he supported with uncommon patience.
The bitter draught did not sour his temper, or disgust him with life. Few better
men ever lived, who more conscientiously and faithfully fulfilled the station in
which Providence had placed them. The sphere of his usefulness was not large ;
yet few could converse with him and not be improved by his genuine piety, his
unassuming modesty, and his cheerful and pleasing conversation. Perhaps I
should not be doing justice, in this small sketch of his character, were I to omit
mentioning, that he was a great advocate for the doctrine of Universal Eestitution,
believing the time would come, in the ages of ages, when all intelligent creatures
would be happy. It may be hard to determine on a subject which involves so
much and extends so far; I will only observe, that his zeal was tempered with
mildness and conducted with wisdom ; and this sentiment had no ill effect on his
mind. He embraced it with sincerity and usefully employed it."
The following is probably a fairly complete list of Okely's works. The edition
of the Psalms was printed by William Bowyer, the others issued from Okely's
press at Northampton, (i) Twenty-one discourses, or Dissertations, upon the Augs-
burg Confession, which is also the Brethren's Confession of Faith, delivered by the

In the copy of the life of Jacob Behmen preserved in the University Library in
addition to advertisements of some of Okely's printed works enumerated above
some " Manuscript Translations by the same author " are enumerated. It is not
quite clear whether these MSS. were on sale or only meant as announcements of
works contemplated. Probably the latter. They include: (1) Peter Poiret's Mystic

His son Algernon Frampton, B.A. 1787, M.D. 1797, was a Fellow of the College,
and a grandson Algernon, son of Dr Frampton, was admitted a Fellow-Commoner
of the College 18 June 1821. See also the admission of his brother P. 108 no. 15.
P. 84 no. 1. Samuel Ogden was born in Manchester 28 July 1716. He was
admitted a Fellow of the College 25 March 1740. He was ordained Deacon by the
Bishop of Chester 1 June 1740, and Priest at Buckden by the Bishop of Lincoln
2 November 1741. On 7 June 1744 he was licensed by the Archbishop of York to
be Head Master of the Grammar School at Heath near Halifax, on the nomination
of the Governors. Dr George Legh, Vicar of Halifax, appointed him first to the
curacy of Coley and afterwards to the curacy or parochial chapelry of Eland. He
resigned the Mastership of Heath Grammar School in March 1753, and returned
to College, but held the chapelry of Eland for some years, his resignation of it
being accepted by the Archbishop of York 19 December 1761. He was admitted
Junior Dean of the College 14 February 1753, becoming Senior Dean 19 February
1754, holding this office until he was admitted Steward 23 February 1757, holding
this until 3 March 1759. He was admitted Sacrist 22 February 1760, holding this
until 15 March 1763, on which day he was admitted President of the College,
which office he held (with that of Bakehouse Bursar) until January 1767, shortly
after which he vacated his Fellowship on becoming Rector of Lawford.
He was instituted Vicar of Damerham, Wilts., 6 April 1754, exchanging this
for the Rectory of Stansfield, Suffolk, to which he was instituted 30 June 1766.
He was presented by the College to the Rectory of Lawford, Essex, 25 June and
instituted 13 August 1766. He held Stansfield and Lawford until his death. In
1758 he was appointed curate or Vicar of the Round Church (Holy Sepulchre),
Cambridge {Gentleman's Magazine, 1758, p. 147), and heJd this until his death.
He became Woodwardian Professor of Geology in the University in 1764. In
1775 he was one of those voted for as Master of the College on the death of
Dr Powell, but only received three votes (MSS. Cole xxi, 28 6, Brit. Mus. Addl.
MSS. 5822). When the Regius Professorship of Divinity was vacant in 1771 by the
dejith of Dr Rutherforth, he was universally looked upon as best qualified by his
learning, accuracy, and powers of latinity to succeed him. Dr Watson, Bishop of
Llandaff, who obtained the chair, offered to waive his pretensions in favour of
Dr Ogden. After a curious display of indecision, probably caused by age and
infirmity, he decided not to be a candidate [Life of Bishop Watson, 4to. ed. p. 25,
quoted by T. S. Hughes in his edition of Ogden's Sermons, pp. x-xii). Dr Ogden
died 22 March 1778, and was buried in the Round Church on the south side of
the Communion table and a small tablet placed to his memory with the following
inscription, " Samuel Ogden S.T.P. Natus July 28°, 1716, obiit Martii 22°, 1778."
Dr Ogden published: (1) Two Sermons preached before the University of Cam-
bridge in 1758, the one [on 1 Thess. v, 13] upon 29th May upon the anniversary of
the restoration of King Charles II, the other [on Deut. iv, 6] upon the 22nd June the
anniversary of the accession of King George II, Cambridge, 1758, 4to. ; (2) Ten
Sermons on the Efficacy of Prayer and Intercession, Cambridge, 1770, 8vo. ;
(3) Fourteen Sermons on the Articles of the Christian Faith, Cambridge, 1777, 8vo.
After his death, Dr S. Hallifax, sometime Bishop of St Asaph, published a
collected volume of Ogden's Sermons; To ichich is prefixed an account of the
Author's life, together loith a vindication of his ivritings against some late objections,
London, 1780, 8vo. Of this there have been several editions. The volume was
reprinted by the Rev. Dr T. S. Hughes in 1832, in his series of 'British Divines.'
Dr Ogden must have been in many ways a remarkable and singular man, and
a multitude of anecdotes cluster around his memory. The College possesses two
portraits of him, in the Master's Lodge, one an oil painting, the other a chalk
drawing. A photograph from the chalk drawing is given in Cox's History of the
Grammar School of Queen Elizabeth at Heath near Halifax, opposite p. 68.
Cole in his collections for an Athenae Cantahrigienses (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS.
5877, p. 115) after quoting the title of the sermon on the Efficacy of Prayer has
these notes: " Ten short, exceeding short, but excellent Sermons. He sold the copy
for about £50 and had many copies, some finely bound, to give away.
"A very ingenious and learned, but a notably singular and odd man: was
admitted a poor scholar in King's College, from whence he very happily escaped
to St John's, where he was Fellow and from which he has a Living in Essex. He
lives in Cambridge, single, and has the care of St Sepulchre's Church, where he
delivered these discourses, and where he naturally has a thronged audience. Is a

great epicure, loves a cheerfnl glass, at his ease in his armchair, night-cap, night-
gown and slippers, and no ladies in company. Had a grand turn at sneer and
ridicule, is a large black man, and has afforded as much subject for ridicule in him-
self, as he is bountiful of it to other people. He was educated under Mr Parnell
in Manchester Schole, where he used frequently to come and examine the different
classes, as I heard Mr Arden of Trinity College and the Temple say [i.e. Eichard
Pepper Arden, afterwards Lord Alvanley], when he was scholar there, and terrified
the boys by his strict and severe examination. He afterwards was Scholemaster
at Halifax and had a most admirable and singular turn for that profession, which
it is pity he forsook. Dr Hallifax in his third sermon, p. 27, of three preached at
St Mary's on account of the Petition against subscription to the Articles in 1772,
pays this high compliment to Dr Ogden in the passage where he mentions Inter-
cession: 'But on this subject I spare myself and you: It has already received its
highest finishing from the hands of a master ; who has treated the whole doctrine
of Intercession whether relating to Men in behalf of each other, or to our Saviour
in behalf of us all, with a precision and accuracy to which nothing can be added,
and with an elegance and piety that cannot be exceeded.'
" Dr Ogden purchased for about £200 the Woodwardian Professorship of the last
trustee, King, I think, who was then dying and in indifferent circumstances, so
that the money was in effect for a daughter
" Poor Dr Ogden died of a fit of apoplexy on Sunday evening March 22, 1778,
aged 62, at his house in Cambridge. Colonel King the last trustee of Dr Wood-
ward's will had distinguished himself as an officer under the Duke of Marlborough,
but having the misfortune to lose his eyesight, he was reduced to Half Pay and a
narrow income, which disposed him to sell the reversion of the Professorship.
Mr Colman of Bene't, calling on me Thursday March 26, told me that he was
much acquainted with Colonel King and that he might have got the Professorship
had he had the assurance to have asked for it when he knew his disabilities for
that province : of which Dr Ogden was as incapable and always declared it, indeed
he took no notice of it. There is now a doubt in the Will of Dr Woodward,
whether the University in a collective body or each person by himself is to vq^
at the Election. He has printed — viz. the Vice -Chancellor — part of the will and
sent copies of it about for consideration : the words are, the Electors to be the
Archbishop of Canterbury, Bishop of Ely, Chancellor and two Members for the
University, and President of the College of Physicians and Eoyal Society, and
all who have votes in the Senate. The great people are allowed to send proxies ;
therefore it seems to me that each Member of the Senate is to vote equally with
the Grandees, but as the Senate makes the seventh vote it looks as if it was in the
collective body.
" Buried on Friday in St Sepulchre's Church ; Mr Craven of St John's, about four
years ago had the keeping of his will, as he was left residuary legatee, but as
Dr Ogden had contributed by his interest a good deal towards his being elected
Arabic Professor, Mr Craven sometime after that event came to him and told him,
that he had been under great obligations to him on many accounts and that as he
had obtained the Professorship he had an independency and suflBciency equal to
his most sanguine desires and therefore had brought him his will and desired him
to think of some other person or relation, as his ambition was fully satisfied.
Dr Ogden stared, and could hardly believe such an instance existed: said to him,
'Billy! you are a fool! Consider well with yourself before you resolve: these
things don't happen every day: therefore take the will back again and turn it in
your mind and when you have well considered it, let me see you again.' He did
so, and returning with it after a proper interval, the Doctor accosted him : ' Well,
Billy, have you maturely considered about the affair in question ? ' 'I have,' said
Mr Craven, ' and am of the same mind as when I saw you last, but only beg you
to leave me your Arabic books.' This the Doctor promised and performed, but
such an instance of Uberality and disinterestedness will appear as not at all pro-
bable in this avaricious day.
" Alderman Norfolk calling on me, Monday, 21 September 1778, told me that
Dr Ogden's father had been in the Army, but when his service was over he retired
to Mansfield and lodged in a Manchester doctor's family, where he married the
daughter. Dr Ogden's death was occasioned by eating too late at night a larger
supper on bread and cheese and ale than usual. He was soon after taken ill and
dropped out of his chair. Sometime before his death he went to Mansfield and
480 APPENDIX.
put up a monument to his father in gratitude for giving him a good education, as
he expressed on it, and left his fortune to the family his father married into."
Cole has also the following further notes on Dr Ogden (MSS. Cole xxxiii, Brit.
Mus. Addl. MSS. 5834, fol. 156)—" When the Mastership of Magdalene College was
vacant on the death of Dr Chapman, he (i.e. Dr Ogden) with Mr Oliver Naylor,
Eector of Milton near Cambridge, though of Corpus Christi College in Oxford,
with others made a stir to obtain that Headship. He is a very ingenious man
and I suppose on some of his poetical performances in the Cambridge verses
presented at Court [perhaps on the death of George II and accession of George III]
the following copy of verses were made upon him in 1763, which were sent to me
by my worthy friend John Allen, Senior Fellow of Trinity College and Rector of
Tarporley in Cheshire, which living was given to him by the young poet's father,
John Arden, of Stockport, esq., who married a lady of the name of Pepper, of
Eichmondshire, whose son Pepper Arden is now a student of Trinity College,
though his father was of St John's:
" When Ogden his prosaic verse
In Latin numbers drest
The Roman language proved too weak
To stand the critics' test.
To English rhime he next essay'd
To shew he'd some pretence.
But ah! rhime only would not do,
They still expected sense.
Enrag'd the Doctor swore he'd place
On critics no reliance
So wrapt his thoughts in Arabic
And bid 'em all defiance.
" Dr Ogden was presented in June 1766 by St John's College to the Rectory of
Irfiwford in Essex, vacant by the death of my worthy friend Dr John Taylor, Chan-
cellor of Lincoln, Archdeacon of Buckingham and Residentiary of St Paul's ; who
though a very worthy man and greatly preferred, yet let his parsonage of Lawford
run to such ruin that few were worse. He died a single man and left between
£1000 and £2000 behind him, being generous and hospitable."
In the Cambridge Chronicle of 5 July 1766 is this Article: "A few days ago died
the Rev. Mr Haynes, Rector of Elmsett and Stansfield in the County of Suffolk.
The former of which is in the gift of Clare Hall and the latter of the Lord Chan-
cellor, who has presented to the same the Rev. Dr Ogden, Fellow of St John's
College and Rector of Lawford in Essex, and the Rev. Mr Haynes, son of the
deceased, succeeds Dr Ogden in the Rectory of Damerham in Wiltshire, in the
patronage of his Grace the Duke of Newcastle."
"Dr Ogden is a tall, swarthy, black man and of a most extraordinary turn of
humour, great vivacity, odd, whimsical and like no one else, a great epicure, and
very parsimonious. A very ingenious preacher and on that account his church of
St Sepulchre's at Cambridge is usually so thronged as to be difficult to get a place.
...He is now very much broken with gout and other complaints (19 June 1770)."
At p. 284 Cole gives some " scurilous verses on Dr Ogden." Coarse is perhaps
a plainer description of them.
Gilbert Wakefield in his Memoirs (i, 95-97) has the following: " I have heard
Dr Ogden preach most of these discourses, which were afterwards made public.
His person, manner, and character of composition were exactly suited to each
other. He exhibited a large, black, scowling, grizly figure, a ponderous body with
a lowering visage, embrowned by the horrors of a sable periwig. His voice was
growling, and morose, and his sentences desultory, tart, and snappish.
"His sermons are interspersed with remarks, eminently brilliant and acute, but
too epigrammatic in their close. They display that perfect propriety and purity
of English diction, that chastized terseness of composition, which have scarcely
been equalled by any writer. Like Cicero he wants nothing to complete his
meaning; Uke Demosthenes he can suffer no deduction without essential injury
to the sentence. He was a good scholar, a liberal minded Christian, and an
honest man.
" His uncivilized appearance, and bluntness of demeanour, were the grand
/
APPENDIX. 481
obstacles to his elevation in the church. He kept a public act for his Doctor's
degree at the installation of the Chancellor, the late Duke of Newcastle, in 1753,
with distinguished applause. The duke was willing to have brought our divine up
to court, to prefer him ; but found, as he exprest it, that the doctor was not a
producible man. Dr Hallifax, the late Bishop of St Asaph, was a passionate
admirer and close imitator of Dr Ogden. They were in company during the
French war of 1756, and the conversation turning upon the politics of the day,
mention was made of a recent capture, I think, of some town. Hallifax enquired,
' Who had taken it ? ' As this question implied the utmost ignorance of the state
of the war, and all its circumstances at the time, Ogden, shocked at such inatten-
tion to public transactions, lifted up his eyes, turned away his face with disdain,
and growled ' What an idiot ! ' Which furnishes no bad specimen of the doctor's
plainness of rebuke.... One of his singularities was a fondness for good cheer, with
an excessive appetite; and his failing an immoderate indulgence of it. The
following anecdote is related by a gentleman, now living, who was with him at
St John's. — The cook having spoiled a dish, the doctor was appointed to fine him;
and he imposed three cucumbers at their first appearance, which were paid ; and
all devoured by the doctor himself."
John Mainwaring, Fellow of the College, and sometime Lady Margaret Pro-
fessor of Divinity, in a Dissertation or Sermon prefixed to a volume of his sermons
preached before the University (Cambridge, 1788) criticises Ogden's style and
method. For example he says: "No person ever understood the art of method
so thoroughly, or has been so successful in shewing the advantage of it, as the
present Bishop of Lichfield [Kurd]... Nor has any writer of merit ever failed more
in this particular, than the late Dr Ogden. For his style, though correct and
chaste, is, in general, unconnected and desultory, and although his matter may
be well arranged as, on a nice examination, I believe it would appear; yet the
order, so far from being lucid, is almost invisible. A consequence which always
follows from unprepared, and abrupt transitions " (pp. Ixxi, Ixxii, see also pp. Ixxx,
Ixxxvii, Ixxxviii, xciv),
Dr S. Hallifax, Bishop of St Asaph, who published Ogden's sermons, defends
him stoutly against Mainwaring's criticisms. He writes : " If the subjects of the
following sermons be common, and have been so often handled by other writers ;
the style and composition of the author was peculiarly his own. In his mode of
delivery there was something remarkably striking, which commanded the attention
of all who heard him : and the arguments adduced, to support and illustrate the
great doctrines of natural and revealed religion, are so disposed, that few readers,
it is presumed, can be found, who will not feel the force of them.
" In common life there was a real or apparent rusticity attending his address,
which disgusted those who were strangers to his character. But this prejudice
soon wore off, as the intimacy with him increased: and notwithstanding the stern-
ness and even ferocity he would sometimes throw into his countenance, he was in
truth one of the most humane and tender-hearted men I have known.
" To his relations, who wanted his assistance, he was remarkably kind, in his
life, and in the legacies left them at his death. His Father and Motber, who
both lived to an extreme old age, the former dying at the age of 75, and the latter
at that of 85, owed almost their whole support to his piety. Soon after the death
of his Father, in the year 1766, he wrote a Latin Epitaph to his memory, and
caused it to be fixed, at his own expense, in the Collegiate Church of Manchester ;
a copy of which the curious reader will not be displeased to see.

by the Bishop of Norwich 25 December 1746 in the chapel of Gonville and Caius
College. He was Taxor of the University in 1748 and junior Moderator for the
Tripos of 174f ; in the latter capacity he was deputy for the Proctor, William
Eidlington of Trinity Hall, and is described as a martinet by Samuel Denne
(Nichols, Literary Illustrations, vi, 759). He seems to have taken some part in the
controversy which raged in the University in 1750 over the regulations for the
undergraduates (Cooper, Annals of Cambridge, iv, 278). According to Cole he is
the person referred to as "Affected R — , the scab of Johnians" in the Capitade
(originally printed in The London Evening Post, 1 November 1750 ; reprinted with
notes in the Gentleman^s Magazine, 1781, p. 530-1: Eoss is however not there
identified). On 26 October 1752 he was a candidate for the office of Public Orator
of the University, but was defeated by John Skynner of St John's (Cooper,
I.e., 290). In 1757 he was appointed Preacher at the Rolls Chapel, and a King's
Chaplain. He was instituted Vicar of Frome Selwood, Somerset, 25 March 1760 on

and consecrated in the chapel of Lambeth Palace 25 January by the Archbishop of
Canterbury, the Bishops of London, Chichester, and Oxford assisting. On 21 January
1778 he presented to the Archbishop a Royal Warrant enabhng him to hold in com-
mendam with his Bishopric the Vicarage of Frome Selwood and also to hold therewith
the Treasurership of the Cathedral Church of Exeter, a Prebend in the same church,
the Archdeaconry of Exeter, and the Rectory of Shobrooke, Devon, and received the
Archbishop's dispensation. He however vacated his Prebend in Durham. He was
instituted to Shobrooke and admitted to the other preferments named on 23 January
1778, holding all with his Bishopric till his death at Exeter 14 August 1792. He
was buried in the south aisle of the choir there.
Cole has the following note on him (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5879, article Ross) :
"Dr Ross has been long gaping after a mitre ; he is said some twenty years ago to
have had the offer of one in Ireland ; but now it looks as if his ambition would be
gratified if the right hon. Bishop of Exeter would be kind enough to die. He has
been killed two or three times and Dr Ross as often made Bishop of Exon within
these two months. -I write this June 8, 1777 at Milton near Cambridge. Bishop
Keppel died in January 1778 and Dr Ross was consecrated in Lambeth Chapel,
Sunday, 25 January, Conversion of St Paul, when Mr Orator Beadon was to preach
his consecration sermon A sermon before the Lords in Westminster Abbey, January
20, 1779, London 4to. By its being praised so extravagantly by the Monthly
Reviewers, Scotch Presbyterians, we may consequentially guess his Lordship is a
false father of the Church of England, or that he is afraid of the D. of (rrafton,
Richmond, Lord Shelburne, or the Papists, who abused the Archbishop of York for
a sermon of another complexion. I suppose he is setting up for popularity, and a
patron of Moderation and Toleration : for in The General Evening Post of Thursday,
March 25, 1779, is a sensible letter from Clerophilus to Sir Harry Houghton, who
brought in the bill for relief of dissenters about March 1779, and is the great patron
of them and the Warrington Academy, in which his new Lordship is taken to task
for his affected candour in the above sermon.. ..In The Geiieral Evening Post of
Saturday 10 April 1779, is a letter signed 'Archaicus' on the same matter."
Dr Oliver in his History of Exeter Cathedral, 164, refers to Dr Ross as " this
learned member of the Royal Society, as modest as he was learned His career
was gentle and unpretending, making himself affable to all." He was a friend and
patron of George Ashby (P. 100 no. 19) who says of him " the Bishop has confined
himself through 30 years of the prime of a life uncommonly abstemious to an
unceasing reading of the very best books only on the most important subject "
(Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, ii, 185 ; some familiar letters from the Bishop to
Ashby are given, ibid., 186-189). John Wesley dined at Exeter with Bishop Ross
in August 1782, and expressed himself as much pleased with what he saw at the
Cathedral service and the Bishop's palace {Journal, 18 August 1782). See Mayor-
Baker, History of St John's College, ii, 726-8 ; Dictionary of National Biography.
Dr Ross published the following : (i) A dissertation after the manner of Mr Mark-
land, in which the defence of P. Sulla is clearly proved to be spurious, London, 1746,

by the Archbishop of Canterbury to the chapelry of Wye, Kent, on the nomination
of Daniel, Earl of Winchelsea and Nottingham, this he resigned into the hands of
the Archbishop 17 October 1754. He was also curate of Crundall for a short time
in 1754. He was instituted Rector of Middleton Keynes, Bucks., 27 May 1761, then

buried at Middleton Keynes {Surtees Soc. Publ. Ixv, 346 ; Lipscombe, History of
Buckinghamshire, iv, 247 ; Hardy's Le Neve, i, 56). Sir Egerton Brydges in his
Autobiography, i, 123, has the following with regard to him : " There was a
Dr Heneage Dering, another prebendary — a good old man, but a little old-
fashioned, dull, and formal — son of a Dean of Ripon ; who was a scholar, and
wrote and printed Latin verses. He owed his prebend to the patronage of the
Winchelsea family. He was brought up at a time when Pope was thought to
be indisputably the first poet in the world. Dining one day at his house, about
the time I first went to College, when I was full of Joseph Warton's Essay on Pope's
Genius, I ventured to express my opinion against Pope and his school of poetry.
The old dignitary was astonished at my rashness, and seemed as if he thought me
guilty of blasphemy or treason. I maintained my opinion with a good deal of
obstinacy, and — being contradicted rather rudely, — perhaps with some intemper-
ance. Though a good old man, and generally courteous and benevolent he never
forgave me, but represented me as a very forward and self-sufiicient youth."

Walsingham with Little (or new) Walsingham, sometime after 1756, and Vicar of
Houghton-in-the-Hole, both in Norfolk, about 1782. He held these two livings
with Pudding Norton and Berwick St Leonard until his death in April or May
1807 at Walsingham {Cambridge Chronicle, 16 May 1807).
P. 87 no. 29. Thomas Barnard, the father, was a member of the College (Part

1742, and licensed to the curacy of Coningsby, co. Lincoln, he was ordained Priest

He was instituted Rector of Newmarket St Mary with Wooddytton, Suffolk, 28
September 1752, and Rector of Withersfield, co. Suffolk, 7 July 1756, he held both
these livings until his death. He was appointed Chaplain-in-ordinary to the King
(Cambridge Chronicle, 27 November 1762). He married Melosine Rosenhagen,
daughter of Arnold Rosenhagen, of Isleworth, co. Middlesex, and sister of Philip
Rosenhagen, Fellow of the College (P. 147 no. 2). He died 8 November 1781
(Cambridge Chronicle, 20 November 1781). His widow died 24 May 1811 at her
house in Clare, Suffolk (ibid. 7 June 1811). Thomas Barnard was a man of great
learning, but so much greater modesty that he never displayed it excepting to his
intimate friends. He was buried in the churchyard of Withersfield on the north
side. Having forbidden any epitaph to be placed over his remains, an affectionate
friend and parishioner, who desired to be interred near him, directed the following
inscription to be added to a memorial of himself: " Oppositos intra Cancello8|
reconduntur reliquiae | Thomae Barnard S.T.B. | hujus Ecclesiae Rectoris, | Doc-
trina, pietate, modestia, insiguis. | Ne talem premat oblivio virum, | quod nulla,

ita enim ipse jussit, | decoretur tumulus eTn-ypa(t>-i}, \ justo amicum ornari encomio,
atque illius juxta cineres sese deponi voluit | Antonius Oldfield" (Nichols' Literary
IllustratioJin, i, 763, where Barnard is erroneously said to be of Corpus Christi
College, Oxford. The inscription was written by Dr James Nasmith, editor of
Tanner's Notitia Monastica). In the churchyard of Withersfield, on a coffin-
shaped stone, there is this inscription to the memory of Mrs Barnard's mother:
"Mrs Elizabeth Eosenhagen | widow of Arnold Rosenhagen | esq. | of Isleworth,
Middlesex | died August 23rd 1797 | aged 86" (Davy, Suffolk ColUctiom, Brit. Mus.
Addl. MSS. 19,103).
The Rev. Thomas Barnard was father of the Rev. Robert Carey Barnard (B.A.
1779), Fellow of St John's, and Rector of Withersfield; of the Rev. Robert
Barnard, of Trinity College (B.A. 1782), Rector of Lighthorne, co. Warwick, and
Prebendary of Winchester; and of the Rev. Charles Drake Barnard, sometime
Vicar of Barnetby and Rector of Bigby, co. Lincoln.
Thomas Barnard is frequently mentioned by Cole in his Collections, he describes
him as "a thin man, ingenious and a good antiquary" (MSS. Cole v, fol. 128 6,
Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5806). In a letter to Horace Walpole, dated at " Horseth
Hall, Oct. 5, 1768," Cole writes: "As I write from a place where I have not your
Book of Engravers, I cannot tell whether you mention among Faithorne's works
a fine half length print of Dr Henry More, of Christ's College, aet. 61, sitting in
his cassock only under a tree, with a river and landscape at a distance. I met
with it in the collection of one Mr Barnard, King's Chaplain, formerly of St John's
College in Cambridge, and now Rector of Withersfield in Suffolk, who has a
curious collection of books, prints, Roman urns and other antiquities, many of
which were found in this neighbourhood " (MSS. Cole xxiii, fol. 184 h, Brit. Mus.
Addl. MSS. 5824).
Again, in his volume xxxi, at page 91 (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5832) he gives
an account, with drawings, of Mr Barnard's collection of Roman remains, pottery
and glass, describing him as chaplain to the late Duchess of Somerset. Cole then
proceeds as follows: " Mr Barnard is a very ingenious and learned man, a great
virtuoso in curious and choice books of which he has a good collection. He is a
nephew of Mr Drake, who wrote the Antiquities of York and married a lady of
Dutch or German extraction of the name of Rosenhagen, by whom he has one
or more children. Her brother was of St John's College about 1762, and is
married in France, being a man of a fine figure, as is his sister. I called on
Mr Barnard again to see the same curiosities 8 October 1768 with William Burrell,
esq., Member of Parliament, Chancellor of Worcester and LLD., formerly Fellow-
Commoner of St John's College. Mr Barnard is King's Chaplain, and has the
living of Newmarket and now six children. He shewed us several curious trinkets
formerly belonging to the Percy family, particularly a small Rosary of garnites,
every fifth bead intercepted by a gold enamelled cross of every denomination in
Heraldry. The crucifix of gold on a cross of blood-stone, with a locket of hair
set in a gold coffin and crystal and cypher, and another enamelled death's-head
on cross-bones. This was one of the most elegant Rosaries I ever saw. It pro-
bably belonged to a Countess of Northumberland of the Howard family, as two of
her seals in a lozenge and both ensigned with a Countess coronet, was in the
same collection, one larger of silver, for leases probably, the other of filagree work
in gold, with an Earl's coronet also on the top to hold it by. I mentioned them
to Dr Percy who was very anxious of purchasing them in order to give them to
the Duchess of Northumberland. I proposed it to Mr Barnard, who told me he
meant to give them himself to her Grace."
P. 87 no. 30. Timothy Shaw was ordained Deacon 15 March 174^ and Priest
25 March 1741 by the Bishop of Lincoln, both ordinations being 'special,' and
was collated Vicar of Holbeach, Lincolnshire, 25 March 1741, holding it till 1750.
Two of his children were buried while he was at Holbeach, 'Jane, the daughter of
Timothy Shaw, clerk, and Jane his wife, buried 17 June 1741,' and 'Timothy, son
of Tim. Shaw, clerk, and Jane his wife, buried 30 April 1742.' About 1742 he
appears to have ceased to reside there. On 10 April 1750 he was instituted Vicar
of Bierton, Bucks. He kept a very reputable school in Bierton for many years
and was highly esteemed by his pupils. He was instituted Vicar of Medmenham,
Bucks., 8 June 1759, holding this until 1781. He was instituted 30 August 1763
to the Vicarage of St Michael, St Albans, but resigned this in 1777. He was also
chaplain to the Bishop of Carlisle. He was indefatigable in the discharge of his
APPENDIX. 487
ecclesiastical functions, and of so friendly and accommodating a temper that
although he constantly officiated in his Parish Church and its annexed members
Stoke Mandeville and Buckland, he very frequently extended his assistance to
the neighbouring clergy of less activity, and among his familiar acquaintances
obtained the title of ' The Angel of the seven churches,' from his having at one
period no less than that number to provide for simultaneously. He died in 1786
having long been infirm (Macdonald, Historical Notices of the Parish of Holbeach,
176, 177; Lipscombe, History of Buckinghamshire, ii, 102). He was empowered
by dispensation to hold St Michael's, St Albans, with Bierton, then worth £250 a
year {Cambridge Chronicle, 20 August 1763; Gentleman's Magazine, p. 466). In
the Archbishop of Canterbury's Act Book the value of Bierton is stated to be £75,
and of St Michael's, £50, the distance between the benefices being stated as
22 miles.

of Wellington, Salop, plebeius, who matriculated at Oxford from Christ Church,
28 April 1722, aged 17. He proceeded to the B.A. degree at Oxford 18 February
172f (Foster, Alumni Oxonienses). He took the degree of M.A. at Cambridge,
from St John's, in 1737. One Thomas Littleton was instituted Rector of Middleton
Scriven, Salop, 23 January 173f, holding the living until 1740. One of these
names was instituted Rector of Oldbury, Salop, 2 June 1743, and seems to have
held the living until 1793. And a Thomas Littleton was instituted Rector of
Burford (second portion), Salop, 29 April 1755, holding the Uving until 1770.
P. 87 no. 36. This is perhaps the Richard Price, son of Richard Price, of

as a literate of St John's College, Cambridge. He was instituted Vicar of Rothers-
thorpe 9 March 172| and Rector of Bradden 23 July 1739, both co. Northampton.
He seems to have held Rothersthorpe till 1756 and Bradden till 1762. He took
the LL.B. degree at Cambridge in 1739, no doubt to enable him to hold both
livings.
P. 87 no. 39. Henry Legassicke, son and heir of James Legassicke, of Modbnry,

P. 88 no. 4. Childers Twentyman was a son of John Twentyman of Newark,

('with Jt;4000' Gentleman's Magazine, 1754, p. 387). His wife was buried at
St Margaret's 10 September 1776. His will is dated 1 August 1780. He mentions
his two unmarried daughters Susanna and Frances, and leaves £100 to his daughter
married to Lieutenant King. He directs his moiety of an estate at Caunton, Notts.,

P. 88 no. 5. James Dawson, son of William Dawson of Manchester, gentleman,
was admitted a student of Lincoln's Inn 23 January 173^. During the rebellion of
1745 when the army of Prince Charles Edward reached Manchester, James Dawson
was placed in the rank of one of the captains of the ' Manchester Regiment.' The
regiment surrendered with the garrison of Carlisle on the 30th December, the name
of James Dawson appearing in a paper published in Manchester at the beginning of
the year 1746 entitled: "A list of the EngUsh Men who Joined with the Scotch
Islanders in the young Chevalier's Interest, and surrendered themselves Prisoners
the 30th of December 1745, at Carlisle, to his Highness William Duke of Cumber-
land, whom God preserve," as "James Dawson, son of the apothecary." And also
in the list of officers of the Manchester Regiment in the Gentleman's Magazine,
as "James Dawson, captain, a member of St John's College, Cambridge." With
other officers of the regiment he was sent to London, tried on 3 July 1746, and
executed on Kennington Common 30 July. He was engaged to be married, and
the lady accompanied him to the scaffold and witnessed his end, an incident
commemorated by Shenstone the poet. (Croston's edition of Raines's History of
Lancashire, ii, 125, 127.) In a tract reprinted in Dublin in 1746 entitled A genuine
account of the Behaviour, Confession, and dying words, of [the names are set out]
who were executed the '6Qth day of July 1746, at Kennington Comvwn for High
Treason, in levying war against his Most Sacred Majesty King George the Second,
p. 18 the following is given : " James Dawson, was of as genteel and reputable a
family as any in Lancashire. His father is esteemed rich, and gave his son a very
liberal education, and brought him up in the protestant religion, which he himself
professed. When he had passed through the exercises of the school, his father
sent him to St John's College in Cambridge ; but his son did not answer the old
gentleman's expectations. For, soon getting acquainted with the young rakes of
the University, he ran all manner of lengths with them, 'till at last, for various
misdemeanours, he was expelled, or rather not waiting for the sentence of expulsion,
which he was conscious to himself he had incurred, and would certainly be pro-
nounced against him, he ran away from his college. But being sensible he should
not be received by his father, and the young Pretender coming with his army to
Manchester about the same time, he joined himself to that party. Being of a bold
and daring spirit and of a good family, the young Pretender gave him a Captain's
APPEXDIX. 489
commission. He was so hearty in the cause, that he beat up voluntiers himself,
and took abundance of pains to prevail on the young fellows in Manchester to
enlist. In all their marches he appeared at the head of his company, and when
the young Pretender made a general review of his Army at Macclesfield, he passed
before him with the usual formalities. He likewise at CarUsle, mounted guard
there, and was called Captain, and was among the rest of the oflScers at the
surrender of the Town.
"When he was brought to Newgate, he seemed as merry and cheerful as the rest
of his fellow prisoners, being buoy'd up with the assurance, that his imprisonment
would not be of any long duration, imagining with the rest, that he was only a
prisoner of war. It has been very confidently affirmed, and Dawson himself did
not deny it, when it was put to him, that he was once tried for the murder of a
man, but acquitted."

him as : " Highly distinguished in his neighbourhood as a clergyman, by the value
and dignity of his character. He was a gentleman and a scliolar, which are not
always united ; an able and sound divine and possessed of much valuable knowledge
on many important subjects ; a true and faithful friend to his religion ; having
carefully examined the evidence of it, he would never suffer his mind to be tainted
by false and flimsy suggestions of infidel writers. During a period of more than
50 years, with the most exemplary conduct and the most unremitting attention to
his duty in his pastoral office, he lived respected bj' many and lamented by all."

the same county 10 July 1752, holding this until 1772. In 1764 the Rectory of
Ufford, Northamptonshire, became vacant by the death of Caleb Parnham. The
College presented Robert Robinson who returned the Presentation, and there was a
dispute, during which the Presentation lapsed to the Bishop (History of St John's

tlie governing body by deed dated 20 February 1765 recommended Stuart Gunning
and he was instituted on February 27. He married in March 1767, at St Margaret's,
Westminster, Miss Whitworth, of Bugden in Hunts. (Cambridge Chronicle, 25 March
1767). He died on Thursday 20 October 1774 (ibid. 22 October 1774). Cole has the
following note (MSS. Cole xxii, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5823, fol. 266): "Mr Gunning,
B.D., in February 1765 was presented by St John's College to the Rectory of Ufford
cum Baintou in Northamptonshire, worth £200 per annum, on the death of Mr Caleb
Parnham, formerly Fellow of the College and one of the best bass voices I ever
heard. He used now and then to perform a vocal part at our Concert, or Musical
Club, when I was a young man at the University. Mr Parnham was also a good
performer on the Violincello and was one of the tallest men I have ever seen.
Mr Gunning also was bred a chorister in Ely Cathedral, had an excellent voice,
and often at Concerts was desired to perform a part, soon after he was admitted a
young scholar. He had a brother also of the same college, and I think both of
these succeeded one the other in the same Vicarage of Hawkeston cum Newton" (see

at Baldock and died unmanned about 1746 and was there buried (Hunter, Familiae
Minorum Gentium, Harleian Soc. Publ. xxxix, 1023 where there is a pedigree). In
the British Museum there is an interleaved Graduati Cantabrigienses, with annota-

P. 91 no. 48. In the marriage Registers of Durham Cathedral are the following
entries : " 1703 December 21 Roger Wilson, merchant in St Nicholas Parish in
Newcastle and Ann Middleton of Barfoot in the county of York ; 1717 April 22
Roger Wilson and Elizabeth Anderson, both of the Parish of St Nicholas in
Newcastle upon Tyne, Diocese Durham."
These are probably the marriages of Cutbbert Wilson's father. If so he was a
child of the second marriage.
Cuthbert Wilson was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of Norwich 19 December
1742. The Rev. Cuthbert Wilson, son of Roger Wilson, of Newcastle, merchant
adventurer, was admitted free of the Merchant Company by patrimony 28 September

Wilson appears to have been appointed Curate of St Nicholas, Newcastle, and also
lecturer of All Saints, Newcastle, from 1783 until his death at Newcastle 8 February
1791 (Cambridge Chronicle, 12 February, 1791).
The career of this Cuthbert Wilson is to be distinguished from that of a member
of Queen's College, Oxford. The latter was the son of Cuthbert Wilson, of Kirk

P. 92 no. 58. Samuel Hutchinson was in 1746 a candidate for the professorship
of Anatomy on the death of Prof. Bankes. The votes were Dr Gibson, Jes. 55 ;
Mr Hutchinson, Joh. 43, besides one, which was questioned because it had no
Christian name to it ; Mr Scotman, Caius, 42. (MSS. Cole, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS.
5852. Cooper's Ammls, iv, 257.) The College Order Book, 20 June 1751, has the
following entry : ' Agreed to depute Mr Hutchinson to the study of physic' He
seems however to have vacated his Fellowship soon afterwards as he was succeeded
by C. J. Fairfax in the following year {History of St John's College, 306, 1. 41).
His father was also a member of the College (Part ii, P. 155 no. 5). He is probably
the Dr Samuel ' Hutchins ' of Stamford who was a member of the Gentlemen's
Society at Spalding, and who died in 1751 (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, vi, 90).
P. 92 no. 1. Noah Thomas was admitted a Candidate of the College of Physicians
30 September 1756 ; and a Fellow 22 December 1757. He was Gulstonian Lecturer
in 1759, Censor in 1761, 1766, 1767, 1781. He was appointed Physician extra-
ordinary to George III in 1763 and Physician in ordinary in 1775, when he received
the honour of knighthood. He was for many years physician to the Lock Hospital,
and died at Bath 17 May 1792 (Munk's Roll of the Royal College of Physicians, ii,
218). He was buried in Bath Abbey 24 May 1792 {The Genealogist, New Series, vi,
100). A portrait of him by Romney hangs in the College Hall. It was bequeathed
to the College by Mrs Mary Lutwyche, his daughter, who died at Bath 22 February
1845, aged 93. The following is an extract from her will dated 21 June 1844 (she is
described as of Marlborough Buildings in the parish of Walcot in the City of Bath) :
"I give the fine picture painted by Eomney of my dear father Sir Noah Thomas,
knight, physician to his Majesty George the Third to the Master, or head of Saint
John's College, Cambridge, for the time being, upon trust to place the same as an
heirloom in the said College where my said father received his education and where
he was as much distinguished, not only for his having been Senior Wrangler of his
year, but for his deep learning, which laid the foundation of the high reputation
he afterwards enjoyed in his profession, in which his skill was sufficiently proved by
the great success of his prescriptions. It would be injustice to the memory of his
Tutor the learned Dr Eutherford whose Essay on Virtue did such honour to its
author, and to that of the great mathematician the blind Dr Saunderson were no
mention made of the great advantages he reaped from their instructions " (Proved
in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury 6 March 1845). It appears from Romney's
diary that Sir Noah Thomas sat for his picture in 1781, July 26, 28, August 1. 4, 11,
14, and 16.
For many years the portrait was ascribed to Sir Joshua Reynolds (Munk, I.e.).
P. 92 no. 2. William Beauvoir, the father, seems to have been the person of
that name, son of Peter Beauvoir, of Guernsey, who matriculated at Oxford from
Pembroke College 4 November 1687, B.A. from all Souls' College in 1691 and M.A.
at Cambridge from Corpus Christi College in 1704. He became Rector of St Saviour's,
Guernsey, in 1692 (Foster, Alnmfii Oxonienses). He was chaplain to the Earl of Stair
when ambassador at Paris in 1717, and was one of the commissaries of the Deanery
of Booking in Essex (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, i, 334; ix, 351).
Osmund Beauvoir, his son, was admitted a Fellow of the College 18 March 174| and
his fellowship was filled up again in March 1751. He was ordained Deacon 5 June 1748
by the Bishop of Ely and Priest 5 February 174| by the Bishop of Winchester. He
was instituted Vicar of Calne with Cherrill, Wilts., 9 February 174|. In 1750 he
became Headmaster of the King's School, Canterbury, holding this office until 1782.
He was instituted Vicar of Littleboume, Kent, 4 July 1753 (then ceding Calne) on the
presentation of the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury. The same patrons gave him
the Vicarage of Milton near Sittingbourne, Kent, to which he was instituted 19 De-
cember 1764. On 17 December 1764, when he is described as chaplain to Mary,
Dowager Baroness Shelburne, he received a dispensation from the Archbishop of
Canterbury to hold Littlebourne (valued at £80) with Milton (valued at £120), the
two livings being state-l to be 21 miles apart. In 1765 he was presented to the
perpetual curacy of Iwade. On 16 June 1773 he was nominated by Archbishop
Comwallis to be one of the six preachers in Canterbury Cathedral, and on 5 July
1782 the same prelate conferred on him the degree of D.D. He soon after resigned
his headmastership but held his ecclesiastical preferments until his death.
In the Topographer, i, 556, is an elegy by Beauvoir on his friend and schoolfellow
John Egerton, of Tatton in Cheshire. The description of the stained glass in the
498 APPENDIX.
North end of the West transept of Canterbury Cathedral in Gostling's Walk through
Canterbury is by Dr Beauvoir. He was elected a F.S.A. in 1784 and made some
communications to the Society. Dr Beauvoir acquired much celebrity as a school-
master. Mr Hasted in his account of Canterbury School says : " Of the Masters who
have presided over it many of them have been men of eminence as clergymen and
scholars. One of them I can mention of my own knowledge, and whoever knew
him will join in this tribute to his memoiy; I mean, the Rev. Dr Osmund Beauvoir,
late Head master of it, first educated here, and afterwards of St John's College,
Cambridge ; whose great abilities brought this school to the highest degree of
estimation; who united the gentleman with the scholar; one whose eminent
qualifications and courtesy of manners gained him the esteem and praise of all who
knew him." Sir Egerton Brydges says in speaking of Canterbury School: "Here
afterwards presided one of the most elegant and correct classical scholars of his
day, the Eev. Osmund Beauvoir, afterwards D.D. ; a man of real genius, who
educated many men of eminence, among the first of whom must be recorded the
present learned Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity at Cambridge [Herbert Maish,
afterwards Bishop of Peterborough] ; and to whom the present writer owes all that he
kuows, or ever has known of the learned languages. In taste, in precision, in
facility, he has never since seen his equal. And for English poetry had he
cultivated it, he had a most pure and beautiful talent ; as a few existing specimens
clearly evince. In his latter years a most extraordinary fortune befell him, by the
accepted offer of an heiress of large property, young enough to be his daughter.
The change, perhaps, came too late: and too much accustomed to the habits of
neai'ly forty years, he seemed less to enjoy his splendid days than those of a
humbler establishment. But the marriage has finally proved a noble endowment
to his eldest daughter by a former marriage, which has enabled her to enrich one of
the long established and highly respectable families of the county." Dr Beauvoir
died at Bath and was buried in the Abbey Church, in the south aisle of which is a
plain tablet with the following inscription: "Sacred to the memory of | Osmund
Beauvoir, D.D., F.K.S., A.S.S. | late of Stanhope Street, May Fair | who died
July 7, 1789, aged 67 " (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, ix, 351— o'J, 809—10).
Dr Beauvoir was twice married. First in 1750 to Ann, daughter of Colonel John
Bays, of Hode Court in Blean, co. Kent, she died in 1762 and was buried in the
church of SS. Cosmos and Damian in the Blean. He had three sons, Osmund,
William, and Cholmondeley. Osmund went into the Navy and died at Dover
1 April 1781, being then Captain of H.M. packet Prince Frederick [GentUman's
Magazine, 1781, p. 194). Cholmondeley joined St John's in 1775 and died while an
undergraduate. William also died young. He had two daughters, Elizabeth, who
maiTied William Hammond of St Alban's Court, Kent ; and Isabella who married
in 1787 Richard Blackett Dechair, an old pupil of her father's, of St Mary Hall,
Oxford, and afterwards Vicar of Shepherds' Well (Memorials of the King's School,
Canterbury, 65 — 68; Beny, Pedigrees of Families in Kent, 182). Dr Beauvoir
married secondly 14 October 1782 at Totteridge Chapel, Miss Sharpe, of South
Bailey Lodge, Enfield Chace, aged 23, only daughter and heiress of the late Fane
William Sharpe, esq., M.P. for Callington, who died 21 October 1771 (Gentleman's
Magazine, 1782, p. 5026). After his death Mrs Beauvoir manied in September 1791,
Andrew Douglas, M.D, of Savile Row (ibid. 1791, p. 908).
Dr Beaiivoir's brother, Richard Beauvoir, of Downham in Essex (formerly an
East India supercargo) died 20 August 1780 in Hill Street, Berkeley Square (ibid.
1780, p. 395 6).
Cole in his collections for an Athenae Cantabrigienses has the following on
Osmund Beauvoir, some of the minor details of dates and ages it will be seen are
eiToneous : " He was a jolly cheerful companion, sung a good song and understood
music well. In the papers of May 1782, it was said, that being formerly schole-
master at Canterbury, and aged 67, he was married at Bath to a lady of the name
of Sharpe with £200,000. I have several of his father's papers, given to me
40 years ago by Dr Zachary Grey, containing bundles of Gazettes etc. translated.
I think he was a Jersey man. Nov. 16, 1782, Mr Underwood, Canon of Ely, going
to keep his residence, called on me and told me that Mr Beauvoir, about August 1782,
the Archbishop had created him D.D., that he lived in his parish at Barnet near
London, that he had lost all his teeth, and his harmonious voice of course gone,
but that he often officiated for the neighbouring clergy. That Miss Sharpe was
about 30, fat and short, but agieeable and well accomplished, might have been

married to the present Earl Temple and Lord Walsingham, but refused them for
Dr Beauvoir, now 67 years of age. Her father left her £120,000 and purchased a
royal lodge of the late Earl of Chatham, but chooses to live at Barnet. Before, she
generously gave £10,000 to portion out the two daughters of Dr Beauvoir which he
had by a former wife."

and was buried 24 February 174i in the chancel vault of St Matthew's, Friday
Street (ibid. 471, Genealogist, vi, 46). The father writing to Dr Zachary Grey on

not yet been able to obtain any favour for him from the Master or Senior Fellows
since they admitted him to his Marlborough Exhibition, though I have solicited it,
and God knows, sufficiently need it" (ibid. 471). John Twells, Scholar of St John's

benevolence of temper, a xeadiness to perform all acts of kindness amongst those
to whom he was known, a constant attendant to the wants of his poor neighbours,
rendered him greatly esteemed in life, and his death sincerely regretted by his

married a sister of Dr Philip Williams, of St John's College, Cambridge, and has
two sons. Mr William Cole, late Rector of Newton Blossomville, in this County,
and now beneficed in Norfolk at the presentation of St John's College in

History of imhanking and drayning of divers Fenns and Marshes, etc., folio with three
indices, London, 1772. Cole in his collection for an Athenae Cantabrigien-ses (Brit.
Mus. Addl. MSS. 5865) quotes the title of this and adds the following notes on the
author : " Son of Mr Charles Cole, Rector of North Crawley in Buckinghamshire,
who is son to Mr Cole an Apothecary of Ely. He is a Counsellor of good assurance
and some practice, and Editor of this book, with a long preface, the substance of
which is all taken from Dugdale's History of Imbanking, though he says not a word

militia quartered at Ely to no small trouble and expense, as also the County, by
getting an order from the War Office to send them to Cambridge, while the Bedford
Level meeting was there. Though Sir Charles Gold told him there was no occasion
for it, as only himself was to be there who had private Lodgings. But it was to
shew his importance for he is nothing else. Yet People were very angry about his
impertinence."

APPENDIX. 507
Christ's College in 1780, he removed to Trinity College under the patronage of
Lord Sandwich. Attempts had been made at Christ's between 1777 and 1781 to
remove him from his fellowship on account of his Canonry and other preferments,
but he was not finally removed until 1783. He was a friend of the Burney family
and there are several references to him in the diary of Frances Burney. Under
date 30 March 1774 she refers to him as follows: "Dr Shepherd is going abroad
himself in a short time, as tutor to a young man of the name of Hatton. He has
never yet been further than the Netherlands, though he has intended to travel
I believe for thirty years of the fifty he has lived; but a certain timidity seems
to have restrained him. Giardini relates that, when he was on the continent,
being obliged to wear a sword, which his cloth prevents his being burthened with
here, he was so extremely awkward for want of practice, that the first day he
walked out, the sword got between his legs and fairly tript him up — over — or down
— I don't know what is best to say. He is prodigiously tall and stout, and must
have made a most ludicrous appearance. He enquired many particulars concerning
Mr Twiss's travels with a kind of painful eagerness, and whenever he related any
disasters, the poor Doctor seemed in an agony, as if these dangers were immediately
to become his own." Captain Cook says that he named " a group of small islands
' Shepherd's Islands ' in honour of my worthy friend Dr Shepherd, Plumian Pro-
fessor of Astronomy at Cambridge." Shepherd was also suggested as a suitable
match for Frances Burney, and seems to have been not unwilling, but she said
she would not have him if he were Archbishop of Canterbury, and described him
as "dulness itself" (Early Diary of Frances Burney, ed. A. R. Ellis, i, 282, 283).
The following reference to Shepherd occurs in a letter from the Rev. Samuel
Denne, dated 22 August 1796: "Dr Shepherd... must have had a taste for wine and
music, as he had in his cellar, as stated by the gentlemen of the hammer, ' Skinner,
Dyke and Skinner,' rich and choice, both of the first growth and flavour, consisting
of a pipe of excellent port in the wood, upwards of a hundred dozen in bottles of
old port of a superior quality, high flavoured claret, excellent Madeira and Sherry,
Burgundy, vin de Grave, Tokay, and St George ; also a fine toned doubled keyed
harpsichord, by Kirkman, fine violins and violoncellos by Cremonensis, Winceslaus,
Tieronymus, Amati, Jacobus, Stanier, &c. ; but a quondam scholar of Christ's
College who has calculated many a logarithm by warrant from the Professor for
the tables of longitude, has whispered me, that in his opinion the Doctor did not
shine more in music than he did in astronomy ; and that he was not qualified to
play the second Cremona in a concert " (Nichols, Literary Illustrations, vi, 677).
Dr Shepherd published: (i) Tables for correcting the apparent distances of the
moon and a star from the effects of refraction and parallax, for the Commissioners
of Longitude at Sea, 1772 ; (ii) Heads of a course of lectures in Experimental Philo-
sophy read in Christ's College, Cambridge, between 1770 and 1772, 8vo. ; (iii) A
description of the experiments intended to illustrate a course of lectures on the
principles of natural philosophy, read in the observatory at Trin. Coll., Cambridge,
1776. His portrait, by Vanderpuyl, hangs in the University Library. See also
Wordsworth, Scholae Academicae, 238-240, for an anecdote of Shepherd and an
allusion in verse to him, "When impatience to start shines in ev'ry man's face,
Steals in Dr Shepherd a tuning his Bass" (Peile, History of Christ's College,
Robinson's Series, 236, 245, 262-264).

P. 100 no. 16. John Skynner took the degree of B.A. in 1744 and was admitted
a Fellow of the College 7 April 1747, his name being spelled with the y. He was
ordained Deacon 23 September 1750 by the Bishop of Bangor, for the Bishop of
London, and Priest 24 May 1752 by the Bishop of Ely. In 1752 he was a
candidate for the office of Public Orator in the University. Bedell Hubbard's
book (MS. Cole, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSB. 5852) contains the following: October 24
(1752) "The Vice Chancellor declared the place of Publick Orator vacant, by the
resignation of Dr Yonge and appointed Thursday 26 for the election. October 25,
Mr Ross, Joh., Mr Skynner, Joli., and Mr Newton, Jes. nominated for the Orator's
place. Mr Boss and Mr Skynner pricked by the Heads. October 26, Mr Skynner
chosen Publick Orator. Votes for Mr Skynner 85 ; Mr Boss 75."
To this Cole adds the following note: "This was the last time I voted in the
University. Mr Ross I was much acquainted with, meeting him frequently at
Dr Middleton's, and voted for him, though I much question, if I had thought as
ill of him then, as I do now, whether I should not have added to Mr Skynner's
weight, with whom I was not acquainted, but asked by Lord Dupplin, to whom I
was under obligations, to vote for Mr Skynner, whose father was his Lordship's
friend. But I had promised the other, and would not be worse than my word,
tho' Lord Dupplin, unasked, had offered to get me a Scarfe from his Father, which
he did, and since his Lordship succeeded to the Earldom of Kinnoul, has continued
me the Honour of being one of his Chaplains to this Hour. Mr Skynner is a very
worthy and learned man, is beneficed near Stamford, and takes a few pupils* at
100 guineas per annum. Dr Ross has outstripped him however in Dignity, being
one of the rotten Pillars of a tottering Church. Wm. Cole, 4 March 1780."
Dr Ross was consecrated Bishop of Exeter in January 1778. Skynner held the
office of Public Orator until 1762. He was chaplain to Elizabeth, Countess
of Gainsborough, on the death of whose husband Baptist, the third Earl, 21
March 175 J, he preached and published a sermon from Psalm xxxix. 8 in which
the Earl's character was delicately drawn. He also printed the Latin Oration
delivered by him, as Public Orator, to the Duke of Newcastle, Chancellor of the
University, on the laying of the Foundation stone of the new Pubhc Library in
1755. This was first printed with the Collection of Verses written on that occasion
in folio and afterwards separately in quarto.
He was appointed chaplain to the Archbishop of York in 1761 {Gentlemaii's
Magazine, p. 695). He was collated Sub-dean of York Cathedral 2 December 1762
vacant by the death of Dr John Wilcox, Master of Clare Hall {Cambridge Chronicle,
27 November 1762 ; Hardy's Le Neve, iii, 130).
He was presented by the Earl of Exeter to the Rectory of Easton near Stamford,
Northamptonshire, then void by the death of the Rev. Mr Bate, and said to be
worth £200 a year (Cambridge Chronicle, 25 February 1764), and was instituted
there 16 February 1764. He was instituted Rector of Blatherwick, Northampton-
shire, 16 March 1765. On 12 March 1765 he received a dispensation from the
Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Easton (valued at £120) with Blatherwick
(valued at £109), the two livings being stated to be 5 miles apart. He was then
chaplain to the Archbishop of York. He held all these three pieces of preferment
until his death, which occurred at Lambs' Conduit Street, London, 25 May 1805, at
the age of 81 (Gentleman's Magazine, 1805, p. 586; liichols, Literary Anecdotes,
ix, 487).
He was amongst those whose names were mentioned for the Mastership of the
College on the death of Dr Newcome (History of St John's College, p. 1042). He
married in October 1764 (Ashby's MS. in the College Library, p. 270). His
daughter Sophia Skynner (born 1771, died 20 May 1836) was married on Wednes-
day 10 July 1792, at Bath, to Thomas Walters, esq., of Batheaston (born 15 May
1757, died 1 July 1847), some time in the Royal Navy, he served in Lord Rodney's
Action in the East Indies (Cambridge Chronicle, 21 July 1792 ; Miscellanea Genea-
logica et Heraldica, iii, 227). His second son John was admitted a student of
Lincoln's Inn 14 June 1787. His fifth son, Henry Skynner, esq. died at his
chambers in Hare Court, Temple, 4 March 1799. His son Captain Skynner,
commanded La Lutine, frigate of 32 guns, which was wrecked off the coast of
Holland, 9 September 1799 (Cambridge Chronicle, 2 November 1799).
P. 100 no. 17. Sandford Tatham was ordained Deacon 20 May 1750 and Priest
2 June 1751 by the Bishop of Chester. He was instituted Rector of Hutton-in-the-
Forest, Cumberland, 18 June 1752, on the presentation of the Dean and Chapter
612 APPENDIX.
of Carlisle, and Vicar of St Lawrence, Appleby, Westmorland, 4 February 1758.
On 26 January 1758, when he is described as chaplain to Philip, Earl Stanhope,
he received a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold both livings,
then stated to be of the respective values of £45 and £100, and to be fifteen miles
apart. He held both livings until his death in 1777. He married a daughter of
Henry Marsden, of Gisborne Hall, Yorks., by whom he had four sons and a
daughter. The eldest son. Colonel William Tatham, was some time one of the
Bepresentatives of North Carolina, and a Field-Officer in the service of the United
States of America. See a notice of him, Annual Biography for 1820, p. 149.
P. 100 no. 18. William Loup was ordained Deacon 9 June 1745 and licensed
to Dishforth Chapelry in the parish of Topcliffe, Yorks., he was ordained Priest
6 June 1748 and licensed to the curacy of Marton-on-the-Moor, all by the Arch-
bishop of York. On 25 September 1745 he was licensed, by the Archbishop of
Canterbury, to be curate to Mr Francis Conduitt, Rector of Snave, Kent, with a
salary of £40 a year. He was instituted Vicar of Pannal, Yorks., 4 December
1750. Robert Midgley, his successor, was instituted 5 June 1751.
P. 100 no. 19. Edmund Ashby, the father, a citizen and merchant-taylor of
the City of London, was born 1 June 1690, and maiTied 15 May 1720, at St Mary
Abchurch, Elizabeth Judith Lock. He died 9 January 1775 and was buried at
Wellingborough (Nichols, Literary Illusti-ations, vii, 389 n. ; see also Nichols,
History of Leicestershire, iii, 284, where there is a pedigree). George Ashby, his
son, was born 5 December 1724 at the house of the minister of St John's Chapel,
in Red Lion Street, Clerkenwell. He is said to have been educated at Croydon,
Westminster, and Eton Schools (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, i, 577 «.). He was
ordained Deacon 25 December 1746 by the Bishop of Norwich and licensed to the
curacy of Halesworth and Chediston, Suffolk. He was admitted a Fellow of the
College 29 March 1748, became a Senior Fellow 12 July 1766, and his Fellowship
was filled up again 26 March 1776. He resided for many years in College ; he was
Chaplain of Horningsey, co. Cambridge, 18 October 1765 to 28 February 1766;
Steward of the College 28 February 1766 to 29 January 1767 ; President 29 January
1767 to 24 March 1775, holding for the same period the office of Bakehouse Bursar ;
he was Sacrist 9 March 1774 to 24 March 1775. He was instituted Vicar of Twy-
ford with Hungarton, co. Leicester, 7 November 1757 on the presentation of a
relative. He ceded Twyford in 1766 and Hungarton in 1769. He was presented
by the College to the Rectory of Barrow, Suffolk, 1 July 1774, instituted 3 August
and inducted 6 August, following. In 1780 his College friend John Ross (P. 86
no. 13), then Bishop of Exeter, gave him a valuable portion of the Vicarage of
Bampton in Oxfordshire, but as he could not hold this with Barrow, he procured
an exchange for the Rectory of Stansfield in Suffolk, in the gift of the King.
Some, not very explicit, letters on this matter are printed in Nichols' Literary
Anecdotes, ii, 186-7 n. In a letter to Cole (MSS. Cole xx, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS.
5821) dated from Barrow 5 August 1780, Ashby writes: "I have wrote so many
letters lately to promote an exchange for the living of Bampton in Oxfordshire,
which the Bishop of Exeter was so good as to give me two months ago, that
I almost sicken at the thoughts of a letter, and I have several to despatch this
morning. I hope however I have almost got through and that I shall soon be
possessed of Stansfield, which was the living of Dr Ogden. I could not have
conceived an exchange had been so troublesome and difficult an affair, as I find
it is. Two or three persons in this neighbourhood never could get through; so
if I succeed I may think myself lucky." He was ultimately successful and was
instituted Rector of Stansfield 11 October 1780, Samuel Johnson (or Johnston),
Rector of Stansfield, getting the portion of Bampton. Ashby held Stansfield with
Barrow until his death. In the year 1793 his eyesight began to fail and seems
ultimately to have gone. He died at Barrow after repeated strokes of paralysis,
and was buried in the church, where on the wall of the chancel there is a mural
tablet with the following inscription : " Near this place is interred the body of | the
Kev"i George Ashby B.D. and F.S.A. | Rector of this parish j son of Edmund Ashby
(by Elizabeth Judith daughter | of Robert Lock of Dinton in Wiltshire) | of an
ancient Leicestershire family | who was born 5 Dec. 1724 | and died 12 June
1808. I He was for many years President of St John's College, Cambridge, | by
which Society he was presented to this living in 1774 | and in 1780 obtained by
the friendship of Dr Ross Bishop of Exeter | the Rectory of Stansfield in Suffolk. |
APPENDIX.
5l3
For many years previous to his death he had the misfortune | to become blinJ,
but as a critical scholar and as an antiquary | he left many lasting testimonials
of superior abilities. | Mrs Hannah Ashby | sister of the ReVi. G. Ashby | died
7 May 1808 aged 7i(. | Thomas Lyus of Barrow the constant companion and
amanuensis of the | Rev. George Ashby for the space of 28 years and at last his
testamentary heir | with all respect and gratitude inscribes this marble to his
memory."
Mr Ashby seems to have left considerable manuscript collections, though he
published but little directly. These collections were sold by Mr Lyus to a Mr Deck,
a bookseller in Bury St Edmunds, and they were soon dispersed by a priced cata-
logue. Several of the MSS., particularly ' Church Notes in Suffolk,' were purchased
by Mr Thomas Mills, of Saxham, near Bury. Ashby was a constant contributor to
the Gentleman's Magazine and to Nichols' Literary Anecdotes, using the whimsical
signature T. F. or Dr Taylor's Friend (John Taylor, P. 27 no. 29). His account
of John Taylor {Biographical and Literary Anecdotes of William Bowyer, p. 64 ?i.)
makes one regi-et that he did not write more with regard to his contemporaries and
seniors. Ashby is the Suffolk clergyman of whom the Rev. Thomas Harmer
speaks so well in his preface to the third volume of his Observations on Scripture.
Cole has preserved many letters of Ashby (MSS. Cole xx, pp. 81-85) and derived
some of his information as to individuals from him. Some of Ashby's MSS. were
in the hands of Sir Thomas Cullum (Monk, Life of Bentlnj, i, 271 n.). A folio
MS. containing his notes on Blomfield's History of Norfolk occurred in the sale
catalogue of Dawson Turner (lot 15).
Cole writes of his friend (MSS. Cole xli, 309): "The President of St John's
was educated at Eton school, is a very good antiquary, learned critic, and much
conversant in medals and pictures, and was it not for his immoderate talking,
would be a most agreeable companion. He has had a seal of his arms lately cut
for a seal ring, in an odd oval shape, the oval turned the wrong way, in order,
as he says, that the quarterings might be better marshalled. When I see him
next, I will take an impression of it. I think he was the person who brought
on the Grace into the Senate House, for leave to be procured, that fellows of
Colleges might marry " [Cole gives a copy of the seal and the arms of Ashby of
Quenby: azure, a chevron ermine, inter three leopards' faces or]. Again, in his life
of Dr W. S. Powell, Master of the College (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, i, 578)
Cole says: "I happened to dine at Cambridge also that day (i.e. 19 January 1775,
the date of Dr Powell's death), where I met Mr Ashby, the President of the College,
who came by accident thither from Barrow the evening before ; with him I spent
the evening ; who told me, that he had no chance to succeed him (i.e. Dr Powell) :
indeed no one ever thought he had : for though a learned and ingenious man, yet
being of a singularly odd turn of behaviour, and one that never concealed his
thoughts of any one, but spoke his sentiments freely, he had disgusted many of
the Society, who might have been his friends on this or a similar occasion."
In the College Library there is a small quarto MS. volume which once belonged
to Ashby. This commences with a copy of the College Statutes and contains notes
of subsequent foundations. Each Fellow seems to have copied the Elizabethan
Statutes and other matter for his own use, or passed on such volumes from hand
to hand. This volume of Ashby's has a note: "The gift of Mr Laxton (P. 93
no. 15) to G. A. ; now of Leatherhead, Surrey, afterwards killed by a fall from his
horse." The volume also contains a variety of notes by Ashby on members of the
College ; a list of College livings with their donors, reputed values, and in-
cumbents. He also gives two lists of Fellows at different periods with notes as to
how their Fellowships were subsequently vacated, by death, marriage or promotion
to livings. He notes down the extreme slowness, as it seemed to him, with which
vacancies came and his slow rise in seniority.
Ashby published very little. In Archaeologia, iii, 165 is a Dissertation on a
singular coin of Nerva found at Colcliester. In Nichols' History of Leicestershire,
i. part i, pp. civ, clviii is a dissertation by him on a Roman Miliary found at
Leicester. In the Bibl. Topogr. Brit. No. 2, part 2, pp. 156-60, is an Essay on the
leaden skull in St John's Library. And Davy in his Suffolk Collections (Brit.
Mus. Addl. MSS. 19,167) states that Ashby reprinted at Bury St Edmunds in 1781
"for the benefit of a very deserving young person" An account of a voyage to the
Spice Islands and Neio Guinea, by J. P. Sonnerat, Sub-Commissary of Marine;
first printed in 1775. (See Notes and Queries, 2 Ser. xii, 102 ; Nichols, Literary

P. 100 no. 21. Kichard Taylor was ordained Deacon 9 June 1745 by the Bishop
of Norwich and was licensed curate of Tharston, Norfolk. He was ordained Priest
by the Bishop of Hereford in the Chapel Eoyal, 8t James, for the Bishop of
Norwich 15 March 174^. One of these names was instituted Eector of Saxmund-
ham 9 March 1762, and Rector of Blaxhall 13 April 1762, both in Suffolk, holding
both livings until his death 10 August 1798, aged 77 (Gentleman's Magazine, 1798,
p. 729 h). Mr Foster in his Alumni Oxonienses identifies the Rector of Saxmund-
ham with the Richard Taylor who matriculated at Oxford from Trinity College
2 July 1743, aged 20; was B.A. at Oxford 1747 and probably M.A. from King's
College, Cambridge in 1761. The age of the Suffolk incumbent as given in the
Gentleman's Magazine corresponds more closely with that of the member of
St John's than with that of the Oxonian.
P. 100 no. 22. Sir Maurice Crosbie, the father, knight, was returned to Parlia-
ment by the county of Kerry in 1713 and continued to represent that county until
his elevation to the peerage of Ireland on 6 September 1758 as Baron Brandon.
John, his second son, was born in 1724, he was admitted a student of the Middle
Temple 24 May 1745. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Mr Fisher, but died
without issue in 1755 (Burke, Extinct and Dormant Peerages, 1883, p. 148).
P. 100 no. 23. The Honourable George Townshend was the eldest son of Charles,
third Viscount Townshend, by his wife Audrey, daughter of Edward Harrison, of
Balls, CO. Hertford. He was born 28 February 172f . He had a distinguished
career as a soldier and statesman. The following statement of his military and
other appointments is taken from Doyle's Official Baronage of England, iii, 543-4:
Captain (7th) Cope's Regiment of Dragoons, April 1745 ; Captain (20th) Sackville's
Regiment of Foot, 1 February 1747 ; Aide-de-Camp to H.R.H. the Duke of Cumber-

64th Regiment of Foot 9 June 1759; Colonel, West Norfolk Battalion of Militia
21 June 1759 ; Colonel, 28th Regiment of Foot 24 October 1759 ; Privy Councillor
2 December 1760; Major-General, 6 March 1761; Lieutenant-General of the
Ordnance 14 May 1763-20 August 1767; Deputy-Lieutenant, co. Middlesex, 15

1767-30 November 1772; Lieutenant-General 30 April 1770; Master-General of
the Ordnance 17 October 1772-30 March 1782; Deputy -Lieutenant, co. Derby,
2 April 1773 ; Colonel 2nd (Queen's) Regiment of Dragoon Guards 15 July 1773 ;
General in the Army 20 November 1782 ; Master- General of the Ordnance 12 April
-27 December 1783 ; created Marquis Townshend of Raynham 31 October 1786 ;
High Steward of Great Yarmouth 26 December 1791 ; Lord- Lieutenant and Custos
Rotulorum, co. Norfolk, 15 February 1792 ; Vice-Admiral, co. Norfolk, 16 June
1792; General on the Staff (Eastern District of England), 1793-1796; Governor
of Hull 19 July 1794; Governor of Chelsea Hospital 16 July 1795; Governor of
Jersey 22 July 1796; Field-Marshal 30 July 1796; High Steward of Tamworth
20 January 1797 ; High Steward of Norwich. He was twice married ; first to Lady
Charlotte Compton (Baroness Ferrers), daughter of James, fifth Earl of North-
ampton, married December 1751, she died 14 September 1770; secondly to Anne,
daughter of Sir William Montgomery, bart., 19 May 1776, she died 29 March 1819.
He had issue by both marriages. The Marquis Townshend died 14 September
1807, at his seat at Raynham in Norfolk, and was buried there 28 September
{Gentleman's Magazine, 1807, ii, 894, 974).
Mr Townshend and his brother Charles were for some time in charge of
Mr Theophilus Lowe (P. 46 no. 53) as tutor. He must have resided in College
but a short time as he obtained a commission in the Army at an early age. He
was present at the battle of Dettingen, where he was wounded, and also at the
APPENDIX. 515
battles of Fontenoy, Culloden, and Laffeldt. For a time he abandoned active
service and occupied himself with parliamentary duties. On the third reading of
the Mutiny Bill in 1749 he moved as a rider " that no non-commissioned oflScer
should be liable to be broken without the sentence of a court-martial." He was
unable to carry this, though he had powerful support, against the opposition of
Mr Pitt (afterwards Earl of Chatham), although that statesman's own dismissal
from the army without the sentence of a court-martial had been the theme of
bitter invective on his part. Colonel Xownshend went as Brigadier with Major-
General Wolfe to Canada in 1759. It was claimed on his behalf that the ascent
of the Heights of Abraham which led to the defeat of the Marquis de Mont-
calm, and the capture of Quebec, was due to his suggestion. Wolfe having been
killed and Monckton, the second in command, dangerously wounded, the direction
of affairs fell to Townshend, who with Admiral Saunders received the surrender of
Quebec. General Townshend had accepted his commission on the express under-
standing that he should retiarn to England at the end of the campaign, and he
returned at the beginning of the winter of 1759. He served in 1761 during the
campaign in Germany, was present at the battle of Fellinghausen, and served a
campaign in Portugal under Count de la Lippe Buckbourg. For the rest of his
life he was chiefly occupied with civil and political appointments. During his
tenure of office as Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland he had a dispute with Lord Bella-
mont, which led to a duel in Mary-le-bone Fields 2 February 1773, in which Lord
Bellamont was wounded. He took part in the debates during the trial of Warren
Hastings. In the year 1802 he was said to " wear well and to have health and
spirits. His person, which is above the middle size, is still portly; and gives us
an idea of that athletic, yet handsome shape, which he exhibited in his early days.
When dressed in his regimentals he displays a martial air ; and his hair now
blanched with age, conveys the air and appearance of a veteran inured to camps
and to warfare from his youth" (Public Characters of 1801-2, Dictionary of
National Biography).
P. 100 no. 24. William Leyboume was ordained Deacon 25 September 1748 by
the Archbishop of York and licensed to the curacy of Bulmer with a stipend of £30.
He was instituted Rector of Bulmer, Yorks. , 31 August 1773, ceding this on
his institution 5 March 1776 to the Rectory of North Wheatley, Notts. He was
also instituted Vicar of Rolleston, Notts., 11 January 1778, both these livings
were vacant in 1784.

He was licensed by the Bishop of Chester to the perpetual curacy of Ulverstone,
CO. Lancaster, 4 September 1765, on the nomination of Thomas Braddyll, of
Conishead, esq. He was presented by the College to the Rectory of Little Hormead
and to the Vicarage of Great Hormead, Herts., 13 May 1768, and instituted to the
fprmer 15 June and to the latter 3 June 1768. He received a dispensation from
the Archbishop of Canterbury on 9 June 1768 to hold the two Hormeads, the
value of Great Hormead being stated as £.50, and Little Hormead at £120. He
seems to have held all his preferments until hits death 3 January- 1786 at Ulverstone
(Cambridge Chronicle, 14 January 1786).
P. 101 no. 28. Barton Shuttleworth took the degree of B.A. in 1744 and did
not proceed to M.A. One Barton Shuttleworth, B.A. (no College being given) was
ordained Deacon 2 February 1770 at Whitehall Chapel, and Priest 28 July 1771 at
Chester, by the Bishop of Chester. If this is the member of St John's, he was
about 46 when ordained Deacon. There does not appear to have been another
Barton Shuttleworth, B.A. of Oxford or Cambridge at that date.

A Barton Shuffleworth (probably a mispiint for Shuttleworth) gave a bond
dated 5 April 1748 to the feoffees of Witton, or Northwich, Grammar School to resign
the place of Head-Master if he accepted of any spiritual prefeniient. John Eccles
gave a similar bond in 1750.

of K-snex, ii, 289, where it is stated that Sparrow Summers became a clergyman.
He was ordained Deacon 10 March 174* and Priest 15 March 174^ by the Bishop
of London.
P. 101 no. 32. John Hodson was ordained Deacon 7 December 1746 by tlie

P. 101 no. 33. Theophilus Lindsey was born at Middlewich 20 June 1723. His
father, Eobert Lindsey, who was descended from a Scotch family, was a mercer in
Middlewich, and also possessed an interest in the salt works in that neighbourhood.
Theophilus was his third and youngest son by his second wife, whose maiden name
was Spencer ; she was distantly related to the Marlborough family, and before her
marriage had lived in the family of Frances, Countess of Huntingdon. Young
Lindsey was named after his godfather Theophilus, Earl of Huntingdon, husband
of Selina, Countess of Huntingdon, the patron of Mr Whitfield and the Calvinistic
Methodists. After taking his degree, Theophilus Lindsey was ordained Deacon
21 September 1746 by the Bishop of Lincoln and licensed to the curacy of Ashby-
de-la-Zouch, co. Leicester. He was ordained Priest 20 September 1747 by the
Bishop of London. He was admitted a Fellow of the College 7 April 1747, and
his fellowship was filled up again 17 March 1755. After his ordination as Priest he
was presented to a chapel in Spital Square, Spitalfields (a peculiar in the Diocese
of London), by Sir George Wheler, of Otterden Place, in Kent. Shortly after-
wards he became domestic chaplain to the Duke of Somerset, and after the death
of the Duke continued in the family of the Duchess. At her request he accom-
panied her grandson. Lord Warkworth, afterwards Duke of Northumberland, on
a continental tour. On 13 June 1751 a College order was made allowing him ' to
go out of the kingdom.' On his return he was presented by the Earl of North-
umberland to the Rectory of Kirby-upon-Wiske, Yorks., to which he was instituted
20 June 1752. This be vacated on being presented by the Earl of Huntingdon to
the Vicarage of Piddletown, Dorset, to which he was instituted 16 January 1755.
He married 29 September 1760 Hannah Elsworth, step-daughter of Archdeacon
Francis Blackburne. In 1763 the Earl of Northumberland became Lord-Lieutenant
of Ireland, and Lindsey was offered the place of chaplain, this however he declined.
Charles Dodgson (P. 102 no. 89), who was appointed chaplain, afterwards became
Bishop of Ossory. In 1763 Lindsey exchanged the Vicarage of Piddletown for the
Vicarage of Catterick, Y'orks., to which he was instituted 18 November 1763. While
at Piddletown he had begun to entertain scruples with regard to the doctrines of
the Established Church, inclining to Unitarian views, and these became more
pronounced at Catterick. In the year 1771 an association of clergy and laity
was formed for the purpose of applying to Parliament for relief in the matter of
subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles and to the Book of Common Prayer, and
of substituting therefor a declaration of assent to the suificiency of the Holy
Scripture. This movement, among other causes, owed its origin to the celebrated
work of Lindsey's father-in-law Archdeacon Blackburne, The Confessional. The
petition was rejected by the House of Commons 6 February 1772. After this
Lindsey became more and more uneasy and resigned Catterick in 1773. He then
early in 1774 made arrangements for opening a chapel for Unitarian worship at
Essex House, Essex Street, Strand, London. The step involved considerable
pecuniary sacrifice on his part and the sale of his books and effects. He drew up
and published a Reformed Liturgy on Unitarian lines and opened his chapel 17
April 1774. His avowed design was to recede no further from the doctrines of the
Establishment than to reconcile its services with Unitarian views. He retained
the clerical dress with the exception of the surplice. He gathered together a
crowded congregation with many influential and distinguished men as hearers and
supporters. He published several works, and in 1782 when Dr Disney, his relation
by marriage, and sometime Rector of Panton and Vicar of Swinderby, co. Lincoln,
APPENDIX. 517
joined him as a colleague in his chapel, he had more leisure for study and author-
ship. He also carried on a wide correspondence with leading Unitarians at home
and in America. He resigned the pastoral charge of his chapel in 1793. He had
a paralytic seizure in 1801 but rallied. He died in London 3 November 1808, and
was buried in Bunhill Fields, where there is a monument to his memory with the
following inscription: "In this vault reposes the Eeverend Theophilus Lindsey,
M.A., late of St John's College, in the University of Cambridge, and some time
vicar of Catterick in Yorkshire; having resigned his preferment in the Church,
for the sake of truth and a good conscience, he became the founder of the chapel
in Essex Street. This venerable confessor ended his blameless and exemplary life,
November 3rd, 1808, aged 86 years " (Jones, Bunhill Memorials, 153).
His wife died 18 January 1812 and was buried beside him. A Memoir of his
life with an account of his works and correspondence and illustrative documents
was published in 1812 by Thomas Belsham, his successor in the Essex Street Chapel.
Many details with regard to him will be found in the Autobiography of Mrs Catherine
Cappe.
Cole in his collections for an Athenae Cantabrigienses (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS.
5874) has the following with regard to Theophilus Lindsey. "This person was
Chairman of the Committee which met to petition the Parliament in 1771 that
the clergy might be freed from all subscriptions to Articles or Oaths, etc. A very
proper son-in-law of the author of The Confessional. He was educated in St John's
College, of Mr Ashby's, the present President's, year, who is about 50 or 52, was
a good scholar and well-behaved man, and was likely to have got favoured in his
profession, had not his scruples and whims put a stop to it. Some years ago he
went to the Bishop and laid his grievance before him, with a design to resign his
Living. The Bishop soothed him and told him all his subscriptions were over,
and rather advised him as he had ah-eady taken the oaths to be snug and quiet.
•But what was surprising, after he had acquiesced in the Bishop's advice, he took
another Living and swallowed the same oaths and subscriptions. At the end of
1773 he resigned his Living, though nothing to live on, with a wife and family,
with a design to set up a chapel after his own model, and wrote an Apology for
his resignation. An apology rather seems necessary to Jebb and a hundred more
of the sort, who pretend the same scruples yet keep their preferments; though
I know Jebb made a formal profession to Mr Unwin, that if the Parliament two
years ago did not relieve them, he would throw up his Living or Livings, yet he
keeps them, and told Archdeacon Goodhall this last year, viz. 1773, at his Visi-
tation, that he would not resign till he saw the dignified clergy do so."
Cole also quotes the following from the Cambridge Chronicle, of 26 March 1774 :
"It has been reported that Mr Lindsey, who lately resigned the vicarage of Catterick
in Yorkshire, would throw himself into the arms of the Dissenters; but we are
confidently assured that the report is void of foundation, he having withstood the
solicitations and advantageous offers of a numerous congregation at Norwich. It
is thought he will settle in London, where, to a private audience, he will teach the
Word of God, agreeable to what he apprehends to be the Spirit and Language of
the Scriptures. He will retain the Liturgy of the Established Church, after having
removed such parts as appear to him exceptionable, for which our readers may
consult his Apology."
As regards Cole's taunt that while entertaining doubts Lindsey again made the
subscriptions required by the Canons of the Church, it would appear that his own
view was that the reading of the Liturgy was in effect an assent to its doctrines,
and that the formal assent, implied by his subscriptions on being instituted to
Catterick, involved no additional assent, and was justifiable until he had determined
on his future course. His sincerity seems proved by the sacrifices he made and
adhered to. In the year 1787 a Mrs Pearse bequeathed to him by her will the next
presentation to the Rectory of Cliew Magna, Somerset; it seems to have been half
expected that he would present himself. He presented the Rev. John Hall, biother-
in-law of Mrs Lindsey, who married the youngest daughter of Archdeacon Black-
burne.

of Corley, Warwickshire, 13 June 1760, his successor there being instituted in April
1799. He was instituted Hector of Sephton, Lancashire, 12 January 1763, and held
the living until his death. He died at Sephton 19 September 1801, in his 80th year.
He was supposed to have died possessed of property to the amount of £300,000

the son, was admitted a Fellow of the College 1 April 1745. He was ordained
Deacon 9 June 1745 and licensed to be assistant curate in the parish of Teversal,
Notts., with a stipend of £26, and ordained Priest 25 May 1746, all by the Arch-

and to the second Mediety 10 May 1762. He received a dispensation from the
Archbishop of Canterbury 4 May 1762 to hold both Medieties, the value of each
being stated as £100. These he held until his death on 5 Augiast 1790, aged 68
(Cambridge Chronicle, 21 August 1790; Gentlenuni's Magazine, 1790, p. 768; Chris-

Stamford living. On 6 October 1786, when he is described as chaplain to Dr James
Cornwallis, Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, he received a dispensation from the
Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Thurlby with Tinwell, the values of the livings
being stated as £70 and £180 respectively. He held both until the end of 1796 or
beginning of 1797.

then stated to be of the respective values of £100 and £120, and to be not more
than 20 miles apart. Chesterfield seems to have become vacant in 1781 and Bab-
worth in 1786.
P. 102 no. 39. Christopher Dodpson, the father, is perhaps the person of that
name admitted to the College in 1716 (P. 4 no. 37). Charles Dodgson was ordained
Deacon 15 March 174f by the Bishop of Hereford acting for the Bishop of Norwich,
in the Chapel Royal St James, and was licensed to the curacy of Bintry, Norfolk.
He was ordained Priest by the Bishop of Hereford 25 December 1749. He was
instituted Rector of Kirby Wiske, Yorks., 10 April 1755, ceding this on his insti-
tution to the Rectory of Elsden, co. Northumberland, 13 January 1762. His
successor there was instituted in 1765. He was appointed tutor to Lord Wark-
worth, son of the Duke of Northumberland, in 1765 (Cambridge Chronicle, 1 June
1765). When the Duke went to Ireland as Lord-Lieutenant he took Charles
Dodgson with him. He was appointed Bishop of Ossory in Ireland, by patent dated
18 July 1765. He was consecrated in St Werburgh's, in Dublin, on August 11th
by the Archbishop of Dublin, assisted by the Bishops of Kildare and Limerick.
He was translated to Elphin by patent dated 12 April 1775. He died in Dublin
21 January 1795 and was buried at St Bridget's, in that city (Cotton, Fasti
Ecclesiae Hibernicae, ii, 287 ; iv, 129). The Cambridge Chronicle for 7 March 1795
states that he died in Dublin on the 15 of February ' and not before.' It adds that
" For a few years he resided in the neighbourhood of Cambridge, first at Lord
Godolphin's house at Gogmagog Hill, and latterly at Farm-hall, Godmanchester,
the seat of General Clark, during the education of his two sons at St John's
College."
He married 5 December 1768 Miss Smythe (Annual Register, 1768, Chronicle,
209 b ; Gentleman^ Magazine, 1768, 590 a, where the date of the marriage seems to
be given as November 28). His widow died at Bath in 1796 (Cambridge Chronicle,
5 March 1796).
Cole in his collections for St John's College (MSS. Cole xlix, Brit. Mus. Addl.
MSS. 5850) has the following with regard to him.
" Charles Dodgson, of Northern extraction, was sent to this College where he
took his Bachelor of Arts degree, and then left it to keep a private scole at Stanwix
in Cumberland. He afterwards proceeded Master of Arts, but being an ingenious
young man he was recommended to Hugh, Duke of Northumberland, as a proper
person to superintend the education of his son the Lord Percy, then at Eton scole,
or as he was then called, Lord Warkworth, whither he had been at first sent only
with a servant, but it being thought necessary that he should have a Tutor about
him while he came home for the holidays, Mr Dodgson was fortunately proposed
to be the person and attended him as his private tutor to Eton, where I have seen
him. And gave such satisfaction in his station, that when his Grace was appointed
Vice-Roy of Ireland he attended him as chaplain. But had near failed of the
usual retribution for that attendance. However, as the Duke was leaving Ireland,
a Bishop died before another Lieutenant was appointed, and in May 1765 he was
made Bishop of Ossory, on the translation of Bishop Pocock to Elphin, at which
time he was created D.D. He sat at Ossory ten years, and on the translation of
Bishop Jemmet Browne to the Archiepiscopal See of Tuam he was translated in
March 1776 to the See of Elphin. His arms I had from a letter to a fri^d of his.
And the chief particulars I received ex informatione Oliveri Naylor Rectoris de
Morpeth."
P. 102 no. 40. The Christian name of the father was also Samuel, he was a
Fellow of the College, see his admission Part ii, P. 139 no. 30. Samuel Lowe, the
younger, was ordained Deacon 23 September 1744 and Priest 20 September 1747
by the Bishop of Chester. In 1754 he was acting as curate of Bunbury, Cheshire,
(which explains the 'Bonebury' of his admission entry) without having been
formally licensed by the bishop. He did not graduate.

Bishop of Rochester and licensed to the curacy of Hadlow, Kent, with a salary of
£30. He was ordained Priest 14 June 1747, by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
P. 102 no. 42. Nicholas Torre, the father, was son of James Torre of the city of
York, the great Yorkshire ecclesiastical antiquary who purchased the Manor of
Snydal near Wakefield. Nicholas Torre was a member of the College (Part ii,
P. 208 no. 18), he was admitted a student of the Inner Temple, 16 December 1713,
520 APPENDIX.
he died 5 March 1749, and was buried at Normanton. His wife Jane was a daughter
of Richard Mann of York, they were married at St Olave's without Bootham Bar,
York, 8 September 1720. James Torre, the son, was born at Normanton 6 February
172| . He was ordained Deacon 23 February 174f and licensed to the curacy of
Babwith, Yorks. with a stipend of £25, and Priest 25 September 1748, when he was
Ucensed to the curacy of Roth well, all by the Archbishop of York. He was insti-
tuted Vicar of Rothwell, Yorks., 23 January 174f, holding the living until 1757.
He married Betty, daughter and heiress of Stephen Holme of Wakefield, barrister-
at-law, at Ledstone, 7 October 1747. James Torre died 1 September 1788 and was
buried at Normanton. (Hunter, Familiae Minonim Gentium, Harleian Sue. Publ.

P. 102 no. 43. The father was admitted to the College 14 December 1702

The Hague near South Kirkby. He was buried at South Kirkby 28 February 1756
(Hunter, Familiae Minonim Gentium, Harleian Soc. Publ. xxxviii, 504, where there
is a pedigree).
P. 102 no. 44. Joseph Thistlethwaite was ordained Deacon 9 June 1745
and licensed to the curacy of Chalfont St Giles, Bucks., he was ordained Priest
23 February 174§, all by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was presented by the College
(being then still a B.A.) to the Vicarage of Sunninghill, Berks., was instituted 15
and inducted 18 June 1748. He held the living until his death and was buried at
Sunninghill 20 April 1807, aged 86. The Annual Register for 1807 (Chronicle,
p. 565-6) says of him : " He had possessed that living upwards of 58 years and
had not absented himself from his parish 58 Sundays in so many years. Among
other legacies he has bequeathed £500 towards the enlargement of the church of
Sunninghill and £100 to the augmentation of a charity already established for the
sick and poor in the same parish." He was involved in many disputes with his
parishioners and a number of letters from him to the Bursar have been preserved
in College. Mr Hughes in his Histonj of Windsor Forest, Sunninghill and the
Great Park, gives details as to these disputes, and then sums up: "But of all the
Vicars, Joseph Thistlethwaite, M.A., held the living longest, and left his mark
upon it more indelibly, if not more pleasantly, than any of them. He seems to have
been a man of great force of character, and the Bursar of the College of that day
spoke of him favourably. But he was unquestionably the very personification of
restless energy. His perception of his rights was only equalled by his activity in
maintaining them. We find him busy repairing the breaches occasioned by the
neglect of his predecessor, settling the disputed question of the church way, and
laying out the church funds in good purchases, and afterwards in exchanging them
to advantage, two acres for four and five acres for twenty. Then came the culmi-
nation of his fierce encounters with his parishioners, and we have him crushing his
slanderous foes by two indictments at the Assizes at Reading for libel ; and there
again he prevailed, dragging the offenders before the Vestry, to make them pubhcly
'eat their words' and sign apologies in the minute-book. I must not however
forget to add that he seems to have been the champion of the oppressed. When
the young farmer was so cruelly persecuted by his wealthier neighbours our fight-
ing parson threw in his powerful help for him. There exists a statement of this
case so pregnant with force and sarcasm, that to no one in the parish can it be so
well affiliated as to our sword-tongued Vicar. This incident reflected to his honour
although on the whole he did much mischief; and not only obtained a bad repu-
tation in the parish, but lowered his office in the eyes of his parishioners; and to
some extent alienated from the Church the approbation of the people. He may
have been a scholar, but had no tact or knowledge of the world and was too fond of
the right to pursue the expedient" (Hughes, I. c. p. 198-9 ; see also 142-5).
P. 102 no. 46. John Stacye was ordained Deacon by the Archbishop of York
14 June 1747, and licensed to the curacy of Mansfield Woodhouse, Notts,, with a

Weobley, co. Hereford, and Prebendary of Putston Minor in Hereford Cathedral.
Joseph Guest, the younger, was admitted a Fellow of the College 29 March 1748,
APPENDIX. 521
his Fellowship was filled up in 1752. He was ordained Deacon 1 February 174f
and Priest 29 September 1748 by the Bishop of Hereford. He was collated to the
Prebend of Putston Minor in Hereford Cathedral 15 September 1753, holding this
until his death. He was instituted Vicar of Staunton-upon-Arrow, co. Hereford,
11 September 1759, holding this also until his death. He was instituted Vicar of
Westbury, co. Gloucester, 16 December 1763, ceding this on his institution
9 February 1765 to the Vicarage of Weston Beggard, co. Hereford ; this he ceded on
his institution 16 April 1766 to the Vicarage of St John the Baptist in the city of
Hereford. He was instituted Vicar of Madley, co. Hereford, 15 December 1780.
On 5 December 1780, when he is described as Chaplain to Henry Stawell Bilson
Legge, Baron Stawell, he received a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, to hold Madley (valued at £220), with Staunton-upon-Arrow (valued at £80),
the two benefices being stated to be not more than 12 miles apart. He was insti-
tuted Vicar of Upton Bishop, co. Hereford, 30 September 1782, then ceding
St John's and Madley. On 18 August 1782, he received a dispensation from the
Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Upton Bishop (valued at £170) with Staunton-
upon-Arrow. On 3 June 1785 he was instituted Vicar of Lugwardine, co. Hereford,
then ceding Upton Bishop. On 30 April 1785 he received a dispensation from the
Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Lugwardine (valued at £220), with Staunton-
upon-Arrow. He held these two livings with his Prebend until his death in 1804,
He appears also to have been Vicar of Holmer, co. Hereford, from 1782 to 1790.
P. 102 no. 48. Henry Goodricke was ordained Deacon 9 June 1745 and licensed
to the curacy of Shimpling, Norfolk, by the Bishop of Norwich. He was ordained
Priest by the Archbishop of Canterbury, 20 September 1746. He was instituted
Vicar of Godmersham, Kent, 6 January 1772, ceding this in 1774 on his institution
23 June to the Eectory of Coulsdon, Surrey. This he held until 1807. His name
appears as a member of the S.P.C.K. in 1789.
The editor of the Sedbergh School Register states that Henry Goodricke was
Prebendary of Grindal in York Cathedral. But there was another Henry Goodricke,
(youngest brother of the Right Hon. Sir John Goodricke, bart.), Bector of
Hunsingore and of Aldborough, both in Yorkshire, both of which he held
until his death, 24 October 1801, at Sutton-in-the-Forest near York {Cambridge
Chronicle, 7 November 1801). Perhaps he was of Jesus College, B.A. 1740, M.A.
1744. The Henry Goodricke who was ordained by the Archbishop of Canterbury
is described as B.A. in 1746 (the College is not given). As the member of St John's
was a Londoner, it seems probable that he should have been ordained in London
and held south country preferment.

friend, and was so at College, where he behaved in such a manner as to dis-
credit the gentlemen of his order now in the University. He is now member
of Parliament and lives near Greenwich in Kent. He has a son now a Fellow
Commoner at St John's College and a daughter married to my late worthy
friend's son and heir Mr Benet of Baberham, where my father lived in the great
farm of 600 or 700Z. per an. close to the church and joining to the great house
there, called Baberham Place. This fine old house was pulled down to the ground
about 8 or 9 years ago and the materials sold for about 600/. to John Austin,
a rogueish carpenter, and the housekeeper of Fulbourne. I call him so because I
entered into articles with him to fit me up an old farm-house at Milton near
Cambridge for 200Z. and I to find bricks; which he never finished according
to contract and it has cost me near 100/. to make it what it is. Part of the old
wood-work came from Baberham, and 20 load of bricks from an old Manor house
which I pulled down at Hadenham. Mr Peter Burrell advised Mr Benet to sell the
Baberham estate as the house was pulled down, tho' it had been in his family
above 100 years, and all buried there. So he lives in an house near him. His
sister married a Mr Lowther, Member for Essex, soon parted with her husband and
they live separate. Mr Burrell was always lean and pale, of a middle size, of an
excellent temper and disposition, a good scholar and very ingenious. When he was
of the University he made a present to the University of a statue of white marble
representing Glory, which was bought at the Duke of Chandos' sale at Canons.
When it came down it was not much liked and a party was formed to affront him,
and not accept it, or at least not suffer it to be put into the Senate House.
However there it entered and keeps its station. Feb. 21, 1773.
"He died in November 1775.
" His son Peter Burrell, late of St John's College, married about Christmas or
soon in 1779 to Lady Priscilla Bertie, sister to the Duke of Ancaster. See Dr
Butherforth's dedication to his two sermons at Cambridge, 1747, to his father

of his pupil the son." Peter Burrell presented the statue of Glory by Barratta to

13 December 1780. The Master of St John's called upon me at Milton, when he
told me that these sermons, though dedicated to him, were pretty but not deep,
and that in the place where he reflects on the Bishops it was because he had been
disappointed in his expectations from them and their not noticing him " (MSS.
Cole, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5876). In this volume he criticised Dr Ogden's
sermons, to which Dr Hallifax replied in a postscript to the preface of his edition

The following passage with regard to Prof. Mainwaring occurs in Joseph
Cradock's Memoirs : " It is incumbent upon me to devote some small portion of
this memorial to my much honoured friend the Rev. Mr Professor Mainwaring.
From the time that he became Fellow of St John's College, he was much con-
nected with Hurd, Gray and Mason, and had the happiness to preserve that
intimacy, I believe, uninterrupted to the last. He was greatly respected by them
all, and they willingly confessed that his style was as pure and correct as that of
Addison. He printed several discourses, which had all been preached at the
University Church of Cambridge, a duty which he annually performed, and which
cost him, as he declared, an illness ; first from the apprehension, and then from
the consequences of the effort he had made. He was at times much aflQicted
with an asthma. His health was afterwards greatly benefited by a tour on the
Continent, which he took with the Rev. Dr Fisher, late Bishop of Salisbury. They
were at Rome, when Mr Gray and Mr Whitbread were on their travels, and all the
learned and elegant English frequently met at Cardinal Bernis' palace, whose
splendid table was as full famed as that of Sir Horace Mann, at Florence.
Mr Mainwaring was a man of great taste and refinement. He published, without
his name, a judicious life of Handel, and would have offered his remarks on
painting and sculpture, but he thought the market was already overstocked — On
the return of Mr Mainwaring to England, he married the sister of a Rev. divine,
of Church Stretton, who was both the Curate and Squire of his parish " [probably
Richard Wilding, B.A. 1777, of St John's, Rector of Easthope, Salop, who died
at All Stretton, Salop, 5 June 1820]. " When the handsome bride, whom he had
known from her infancy, had the honour to be presented to Bishop Hurd at
Hartlebury, she was diffident, and expressed her apprehensions that his Lordship
would rather censure his old friend, for taking a wife so late in life ; but the Bishop
most courteously replied, ' Till I saw the lady'" (Cradock's Memoirs, i, 189-190).
"Whilst I remained a graduate at Cambridge I knew little of Mr Mainwaring,
but from reading the discourses which he annually preached, in his turn, at
St Mary's ; and which, as few could hear them from the pulpit, he always printed.
He unfortunately had an asthmatic complaint, and was so fully conscious that he
was no orator, that when he returned to the vestry, he generally said, 'Thank God,
it is over ; and I shall hope to-night to get some quiet rest.' It is much to the
credit of his friends that he was never scraped but always respectfully attended to,
from his known abilities, by the crowded galleries [when a preacher was obnoxious
to the undergraduates it was the custom for them to express disapprobation by
scraping their feet]. ... He was a most refined scholar, had an excellent taste in the
polite arts, and his style is not inferior to Addison's. When concluding one of
his early discourses on Pity and Courtesy, he could not have been exceeded by
either of his critical friends, Hurd, Gray or Mason. The latter freely borrows from
him. Mr and Mrs Mainwaring frequently stopped at my house at Gumley, on
their way to Cambridge. The Rev. Sambrooke Russell [of Queen's College, Oxford,
B.A. 1754, Rector of Bruntingthorpe], who resided near me, frequently met them.
He was as opposite as the poles to Mainwaring ; a profound antiquary and rather
a satirist. He expressed nothing but amazement at the hypochondriac Professor
and his blooming lady; and indeed, the whole University of Cambridge equally
expressed their surprise at this wonderful contrast. However, a friend of mine added
another odd circumstance. 'You see,' says he, 'the old Professor looking every
hour at the thermometer, and sending for his clogs, lest a stone floor should strike
chill to his feet ; yet just before his marriage I recognized him at dinner at Rome,
at the table of Cardinal Bernis, dressed in a handsome suit of velvet, with bag- wig
and sword ; and had, with his friend Dr Fisher, very elegant apartments in the
Piazza di Spagna. He can furnish out, I do not doubt, very elegant conversation ;
but here he regularly takes his nap after dinner, and in the evening is trotting
about the hall for exercise, whilst his accomplished lady is singing Jackson's duet
of 'Time has not thinn'd my flowing hair,' with a musical party in the parlour.
The lady, not perfectly 'weaned, perhaps, from a world she loved too well,' died at
a very early age, of a consumption, at their house at Cambridge" {Ibid, iv, 228-
234, where some letters from Mainwaring are given).

29 March 1748, and his Fellowship was filled up again in 1755. He was ordained
Deacon by the Bishop of Ely 5 June 1748 and Priest by the Bishop of London
23 December 1749. He was licensed to Leytonstone Curacy in the parish of Leyton,
Essex, 10 September 1754. He became perpetual curate of Edgware, Middlesex,
in 1764, and held this until his death 24 December 1787 (Hennessy, Novum Reper-
torium, 141; Gentlevmn's Magazine, 1787, p. 1196).

He was instituted Vicar of Compton Chamberlayne 9 June 1748 and Rector of
Rolleston 6 April 1756, both in Wiltshire. He held both livings until his death in
1800 (Phillipps, Institutiones Wiltoniae, ii, 73, 77, 101).

1 February 1748, and he was instituted Vicar of Lowdham with Pettistree, Suffolk,
16 June 1756 on the presentation of the King. He held both livings at his death
{Gentleman's Magazine, Ixxvii, 380). There is a mural monument in the church of
Pettistree against the east end of the chancel on the north side with the following
inscription: — "In a vault beneath | are deposited the remains of | The Rev. John
Carter, A.B. | late Vicar of this parish | who in the consoling hope of | a blessed
immortality | departed this life ] 21 March 1807 aged 84 years. | In filial regard
and pious affection | To the memory of a beloved and revered parent | this tablet
is inscribed by his eldest son | The Rev. Samuel Carter A.M." (Davy, Suffolk Col-
lections, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 19113).
P. 106 no. 32. Richard Venn, the father, was of Sidney Sussex College (B.A.
1712, M.A. 1716), and was Rector of St Antholin, London. He was able to trace
his ancestry through an uninterrupted line of clergymen from the Reformation
downwards. Henry Venn was born at Barnes, in Surrey, 2 March 172*. In 1737
he was sent to a school at Mortlake ; in 1739 he was removed to the care of
Mr Crofts at Fulham. Thence he went to Mr Catcott's school at Bristol, and in
1741 he was placed under Dr Pitman, at Market Street. Soon after entering
St John's he obtained a Rustat scholarship at Jesus College, to which he migrated
in September 1742. He took the degree of B.A. in 1745 from that College. He
was elected a Fellow of Queens' College, and took his M.A. degree from there in
1749. He was ordained Dedcon by the Bishop of London 14 June 1747, and Priest
by the Bishop of Ely in Caius College Chapel 18 June 1749. It is related of him
that he was one of the best players of cricket in the University, the week before
he was ordained he played in a match for Surrey against All England. On
the finish of the game he threw down his bat and announced his intention
of playing no more, as he would not have it said of him, 'Well played. Parson.'
For about six months after his election to a Fellowship at Queens' he was curate
of Barton, co. Cambridge, and officiated for friends at Wadenhoe, Northants,
Sible Hedingham, Essex, and elsewhere. In June 1750 he ceased to reside in
College, and became curate to the Rev. Adam Langley, Rector of St Matthew's,
Friday Street, London, and Rector of West Horsley, Surrey. In 1754 he became
curate of Clapham, holding Lectureships at St Alban's, Wood Street, St Swithin's,
London Stone, and St Antholin. He married at Clapham 10 May 1757 Eling,
daughter of the Rev. Thomas Bishop, incumbent of the Tower Church, Ipswich;
this vacated his Fellowship. He was instituted Vicar of Huddersfield, Yorks.,
12 April 1759. His wife died there in 1767. His labours at Huddersfield were
very arduous and affected his health. He was presented to the Rectory of Yelling,
Hunts., a Crown living, by the Lord Chief Baron Smythe, one of the Commis-
sioners of the Great Seal (P. 29 no. 41), and instituted 24 November 1770, then
ceding Huddersfield. He held Yelling until his death. The work was less than
at Huddersfield, and it was within touch of University life. He married for a
second time in July 1771 Catherine Smith, a widow, daughter of James Ayscough,
Vicar of Highworth, Wilts. A few months before his death he moved to Clapham,
where his son the Rev. John Venn (Sid. Suss. B.A. 1781) was then Rector. He
died there 24 June 1797, and was buried in the old churchyard at Clapham.
APPENDIX. 529
Henry Venu throughout his life was an earnest and devout man, labouring
'with all his power in his ministerial duties. His preaching was most impressive
and striking, and at Huddersfield he attracted large audiences and ha!d great
success. He was at times believed to be Arminian or Calvinistic in his views,
and was regarded as one of the teachers of Methodism, as it was called, in the
Establishment. His letters shew him to have been of a kindly and genial
■disposition. A Memoir of his life with a selection from his letters was prepared
by his son the Rev. John Venn, Rector of Clapham, and after John Venn's death
was completed and issued by the Rev. Henry Venn, Prebendary of St Paul's.
This has run through many editions.
Henry Venn published the following: (i) The perfect contrast; or the entire
■opposition of Popery to the Religion of Je-ius the Son of God; a Sermon on James Hi,
17 preached at Clapham 1758, 8vo. ; (ii) Sermons on various subjects, London 1759,
Bvo. , this was published on his removal to Huddersfield and was dedicated to ' The
Gentlemen of Clapham'; (iii) The Variance between real and nominal Christians
■considered, and the cause of it explained; a Sermon on Matt, x, 35, 36; (iv) The
duty of a Parish Priest ; a Sermon on Col. iv, 17, 1760, Bvo. ; (v) Call to observe
the Lord's Day, a Sermon on Ezek. xx, 13, 1760; (vi) Christ the Joy of the Christ-
ian's Life, and Death his gain; a Sermon preached at Haworth on the death of the
Rev. W. GrimshaiD, B.A., minister of that parish; with a sketch of his life and
ministry, 1767, 8vo. ; (vii) The Complete Duty of Man ; or a system of Doctrinal
■and Practical Christianity. To which are added, Fortns of Prayer, and Offices of
Devotion, for the various circumstances of Life, London, 1764, 8vo. Thin has run
through many editions, some of which vary in arrangement. Its object was to
counteract the Arminian principles of a work entitled "The whole duty of man,
necessary for all families, with private devotions for several occasions," the authorship
of which is uncertain; (viii) Man a condemned Sinner, and Christ the Stronghold
to save him. An Assize Sermon [on Zech. ix, 12] at Kingston, Surrey, 1769, 8vo. ;
(ix) A full and free examination of the Rev. Dr Priestley's Address on the Lord's
Supper, with some Strictures on the Treatise itself; To which is added a Proof of
the incomparable excellency of the Orthodox System, considered in a practical view,

ordained Deacon by that Prelate 24 September 1749, he was ordained Priest by the
Archbishop in Lambeth Chapel 23 September 1750. He was instituted Rector of
Bircholt, Kent, 24 September 1750 (Patron, the King, by lapse) and held the living
until 1762.
P. 106 no. 36. Francis Dawes was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of Ely in
June 1747 and licensed to the curacy of Foulmire, co. Cambridge. He was instituted

<5o. Warwick. He held both livings until his death at Elmdon in February 1789
{Cambridge Chronicle, 28 February 1789).
P. 106 no. 37. Moses Griffith did not graduate at Cambridge. He received his
medical education at Leyden, where he proceeded doctor of medicine 30 December
1744 (D. M. I. de Abortu praecavendo, 4to). He was admitted a Licentiate of the
■College of Physicians 13 April 1747, and practised for many years in London, but
in 1768 withdrew to Colchester, where he is believed to have died in March 1785.
He was the author of : Practical Observations on the Cure of the Hectic and Slow
Fevers, and Pulmonary Consumption ; to which is added A method of treating several

P. 106 no. 38. Bichard Sedgwick was appointed Second Master of Leeds
Grammar School in 1748, and Head Master in 1750. He held office until his death
9 January 1755 (Register of Leeds Grammar School, xxx, xxxiii).
P. 106 no. 39. Philip Allen was admitted a Fellow of the College 14 March 174§,
and remained a Fellow until his death. He was admitted Junior Dean of the
College 4 March 1758, and became Senior Dean 3 March 1759, he did not, however,
hold the latter office long, as Thomas Frampton succeeded him 5 April 1759. He
was for a time incumbent of Holy Sepulchre Parish, Cambridge. He was one of
those to whom the authorship of The Academic was ascribed (Cooper, Annals of
Cambridge, iv, 280, note). His mind seems to have given way, as on 25 May 1768, the
Master and Seniors passed an order that the insanity of Mr Allen was a weighty
cause why he should not be elected as Senior Fellow. He died at Sedbergh, Yorks.,
early in February 1774 (Cambridge Chronicle, 19 February 1774).
P. 106 no. 40. William Mason, the elder, was a member of the College (see his
admission. Part ii, P. 203 no. 24). He became Vicar of Holy Trinity, Hull, which
he held until his death in 1753. William Mason, the younger, was his only son by
his first wife Mary. He was born 23 February 172|. A pedigree of the family will
be found in Foster's Yorkshire Pedigrees, and in Hunter's Familiae Minorum
Gentium, Harl. Soc. Publ. xxxvii, 202. Mason took his degree from St John's in
174f . In the autumn of 1747 he was elected a Fellow of Pembroke Hall, but the
election was disputed by the Master; the matter was not settled in Mason's favour
until February 1749 (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, ii, 711). He was an intimate
friend of Thomas Gray the poet, afterwards also a Fellow of Pembroke. Gray in a
letter to Thomas Wharton dated 5 June 1748, describes Mason as one of "much
fancy, little judgement, and a good deal of modesty. I take him for a good and
well-meaning creature ; but then he is in simplicity a child, and loves everybody he
meets with ; he reads little or nothing, writes abundance, and that with a design to
make his fortune by it." Soon after taking his degree Mason wrote Musaeus ;
a monody to the memory of Mr Pope, but it did not appear until 1749 when it seems
to have been published on the advice of Mr Powell, afterwards Master of St John's.
This was followed by Isis, an Elegy, London, 1749, 4to. ; an attack on the Jacobi-
tism of Oxford. It produced a reply from Wharton, called The Triumph of Isis,
which Mason confessed to be the better poem. Mason wrote the ode for the Installa-
tion of the Duke of Newcastle as Chancellor, published with the title, Ode performed
in the Senate House at Cambridge, July 1, 1749, at the installation of His Grace
Thomas Holies, Duke of Neio castle. Chancellor of the University. Set to music by
Mr Boyce, Cambridge, 1749. Gray expressed his approval of this ode, but Mason
omitted it from his collected works. About this time Mason seems to have divided
his time between London and Cambridge, frequenting such society as cultivated the
fine arts and literature. In 1752 he published through the press of William Bowyer
Elfrida, a dramatic poem, written on the model of the antient Greek Tragedy. It
was probably intended for the stage. When Mason had become better known it was
produced at Covent Garden by the elder Colman with alterations, which vexed
Mason. In 1776 it appeared with Mason's own improvements.
Early in life Mason made the acquaintance of William Warburton, afterwards
Bishop of Gloucester, who frequently mentions Mason in his letters. In 1754
Mason seems to have consulted Warburton as to the propriety of taking orders
with the view of qualifying himself for a living which had been offered to him.
Warburton writing on 24 October 1754 advised Mason if he took orders " to
dedicate all his studies to the service of religion, and totally to abandon his poetry,"
Nichols, Literary Ayiecdotes, ii, 239. Mason seems to have soon made up his
mind on the question. He was ordained Deacon 17 November, and Priest 24
November 1754, by the Bishop of Chester, in St Margaret's Church, Westminster.
He was instituted Hector of Aston, Yorks., 27 November 1754 on the presentation of
the Earl of Holderness. He travelled about for a short time with the Earl on the
Continent, having been appointed his Chaplain. The rest of his ecclesiastical
preferments were as follows. He was collated to the Prebend of Holme Episcopi in
York Minster 6 December 1756, ceding this on being appointed by the King
Precentor of York Cathedral with the Prebend of Driffield annexed, 11 February
1762. He was instituted Eector of Langton-upon-Swale, Yorks., 17 December 1777,
APPENDIX. 531
and again to Aston 19 December 1777. He held these two liyings with his
Precentorship and Prebend until his death. He was appointed Chaplain to King
George II 2 July 1757, and to King George III 19 September 1761. Gray writing
to Dr James Brown on 18 July 1762, after a visit to Mason at York, says : " The
Precentor is very hopefully improved in dignity. His scarf sets the fullest about
his ears ; his surplice has the most the air of lawn-sleeves you can imagine in so
short a time ; he begins to complain of qualms and indigestions from repose and
repletion; in short il tranche du Prelat." Mason married at St Mary Lowgate,
Hull, 25 September 1765, Mary, daughter of WilUam Sherman, storekeeper to the
garrison at Hull (Notes and Queries, 6 Ser. iv, 346a). His wife died at Bristol 24
March 1767, aged 28, and was buried in Bristol Cathedral, where there is a monu-
ment to her memory with some lines by Mason and Gray.
Although Mason had apparently acquiesced in Warburton's advice to abandon
poetry, agreeing " that decency, reputation, and religion, all required this sacrifice
of him ; and that, if he went into orders, he intended to give it up ; " his poetical
and literary tastes were too strong for his resolution, and he continued to be an
author to the end of his life. The following is a list of his chief publications : (i)
Odes on Memory, Independence, Melancholy, and the Fate of Tyranny, Cambridge,
1756 ; (ii) Caractacus, a Druniatic Poem, written on the model of the antient Greek
Tragedy, London, 1759, 4to. ; (iii) Elegies, London, 1763, 4to. ; (iv) Poems, 1764,
8vo. ; (v) The English Garden, a Poem in four books, London, 1772, 1777, 1779,
1782, 4to ; (vi) Memoirs of Tliomas Gray, London, 1775 ; (vii) Ode to the Naval
Officers of Great Britain, London, 1779, 4to. ; (viii) Copious collections of those
portions of the Psalms of David, Bible, and Liturgy, which have been set to music,
and sung as Anthems in the Cathedral and Collegiate Churclies. To which is prefixed,
a Critical and Historical Essay on Cathedral Music, York, 1782 ; (ix) Ode to Mr Pitt,
London, 1782, 4to. ; (x) Translation of Dm Fresnoy's Art of Painting, in verse, York,
1783, 4to. ; (xi) Secular Ode in Commemoration of the glorioiis Revolution, 1688,
London, 1788, 4to. ; (xii) Animadversions on the present government of the York Lunatic
Asylum ; in which the case of Parish Paupers is distinctly considered, in a series of
propositions, York, 1788, 8vo. ; (xiii) Poems of William Whitehead, with Memoirs of
his life, London, 1788 ; (xiv) Essay, Historical and Critical, on English Church
Music, London, 1795. After his death his works were published in 1811 in four
volumes. On the death of Cibber in 1757, the post of Poet Laureate became vacant
and was declined by Gray. The Ministry are said to have apologised to Mason for
not offering it to him, the alleged excuse was that he was in orders, the real reason
being his politics.
In 1773 An heroic epistle to Sir William Chambers appeared with the name of
"Malcolm Macgregor" as the author. This was written by Mason with some hints
from Horace Walpole. It was an effective and humorous satire of a work by Chambers
on oriental gardening. During the later years of his life politics took up a large
part of Mason's energies. He was a staunch Whig, opposed to the war with the
American Colonies, and a strong advocate for parliamentary reform. His attitude
in these matters being displeasing to the Court he resigned his office as King's
Chaplain in August, 1773. In addition to his literary work Mason was a student
of music, and a painter of some skill. Besides innumerable sketches of Gray in
profile, he painted the poet Whitehead, and an altarpiece of the Good Samaritan
for the church at Nuneham. He also composed some church music. Lord Nune-
ham, in a letter to his father Earl Harcourt, dated 25 October 1776, describing a
visit he paid to Mason at Aston, says : " Aston was the very temple of genius and
good taste. We had delightful music, and the servants as well as their master are
artists. His young footman has produced some excellent etchings and copies well."
Mason died at Aston 5 (or 7) March 1797. In the chancel of Aston Church there is
a monument to his memory with the following inscription : " To the memory of the
Eev. William Mason, M.A. | The influence of his preaching and Christian benevo-
lence, I during an incumbency of forty-three years, | was felt and enjoyed by the
parishioners of Aston | who deeply lament the loss of their beloved pastor and
friend. | This monument was erected by the Rev. C. Alderson, B.A., | his successor
and executor." Mason had erected in the garden at Aston a little summer-house
to the memory of Gray, in this Mr Alderson placed a tablet with a medallion and
the following inscription : " M. S. | Gulielmi Mason | qui vixit an. Ixxii I mens, i |
dieb. xii | amico optume merenti | Chris. Alderson posuit | M.DCCd;." In Poets'
corner in Westminster Abbey is a tablet with the inscription : " Optimo viro
532 APPENDIX.
Gulielmo Mason, A.M. | Poetae, si quis alius, culto, casto, pio, | sacrum. [ Ob. 7 Apr.
1797, Aet. 72."
On the whole Mason enjoyed during his lifetime a fame to which he was hardly
entitled. Yet as a literary figure he will always be interesting as the friend and
biographer of Gray. He was not a great poet, yet for many years of his life he was
England's greatest poet (Dictionary of National Biography ; Hartley Coleridge,
Worthies of Yorkshire and Lancashire, 397-462 ; Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, Index,
vol. vii, 256, 625-6; The Athenaeum, 24 February 1894, p. 251; Hunter, South
Yorkshire, ii, 169, 170, where there is an abstract of Mason's will ; Davies, A Memoir
of the York Press, see Index).

plebeius, matriculated at Oxford, from Brasenose College, 21 November 1729, aged
18. He took the B.A. degree at Oxford in 1733 (Foster, Alumni Oxonienses). He
took the M.A. degree at Cambridge, from St John's, in 1742.
P. 106 no. 43. Atherley should be Adderley, of which parish Benjamin Clive
(of Clare Hall, B.A., 1718) was Kector from 1720 to 1735.
Robert Clive was ordained Priest 20 September 1747 by the Bishop of Lichfield
and Coventry. He was instituted Rector of Adderley, Salop, 26 July 1750, and Vicar
of Clun in the same county 3 March 1766. On 26 February 1766 he was empowered
by dispensation to hold the two livings, Adderley valued at £100, and Clun at £240,
their distance apart about 30 miles, he was at that time Chaplain to Nathaniel, Lord
Scarsdale. He held Clun till 1782 and Adderley until his death. He was collated
to the Prebend of Pratum Minus in Hereford Cathedral 4 September 1760, holding
this until 1769 (Hardy's Le Neve, i, 526). He was collated Archdeacon of Salop
2 February 1769, which he held until his death (ibid., i, 484). He was appointed
Prebendary of St Peter's, Westminster, 13 October 1778 (ibid., iii, 367), this he also
held until his death. He died 15 July 1792 at Moreton, co. Salop (Moretou-Corbet),
Gentleman's Magazine, 1792, p. 677, where it is stated that he " had been minister
between 40 and 50 years," perhaps as curate, for his name does not occur among
the institutions to the living.
Archdeacon Clive published The Christian Religion, agreeable to the natural
powers and principles of Man. A Sermon [on John vi, 44] preached at a Visitation,
12 June, 1770. Shrewsbury, 1770, 8vo. There is a pedigree in Robinson's Mansions
of Herefordshire, 313.
P. 106 no. 44. George Reynolds, the father, was a son of Dr Richard Reynolds,
successively Bishop of Bangor and Lincoln. He was of Trinity Hall, LL.B., 1721,
LL.D., and Fellow of Jesus College. He was made Chancellor of the Diocese of
Peterborough in 1721, aud in 1724 he was presented by his father to the Archdeaconry
of Lincoln (Nichols, Literary Illustrations, iv, 328 ; Literary Anecdotes, ii, 534, viii,
218). The Parish Register of St Andrew's, Holborn, contains this marriage entry :
"1724 Dec. 3. George Reynolds, B.C. L. and Chancellor ofDioc. of Peterborough,
and Ann Thomson, of St Neots, Hunts., by my Lord Bp. of Lincoln, his father."
But there seems to be no doubt that tbe Christian name of his wife was Elizabeth.
The inscription on his tombstone in the chancel of Little Paxton Church, Hunts.,
bears this inscription: "Here lieth the body of the Rev. Dr George Reynolds....
who died June the 6th, 1769, aged 69 years and six months. He married Elizabeth,
daughter of Lawrence Thompson, Esq., of St Neots...." Another slab having the
inscription : " In memory of Elizabeth, daughter of Lawrence Thompson, and relict
of the Rev. Dr George Reynolds. ...died October 29th, 1784, aged 83" (Notes and
Queries, 2nd Ser., xi, 350, 399, 496, xii, 18).
Richard Reynolds on entering St John's was placed by his grandfather, the
Bishop, under the care of Theophilus Lindsey (P. 101 no. 33). He was admitted a
student of the Middle Temple 23 April 1746. After leaving College he was taken
in 1746 by John Montagu, fourth Earl of Sandwich, as his private secretary to
Aix-la-Chapelle, where he remained during the negotiation of the treaty which
takes its name from that city. After his return to England he retired to his estate
at Little Paxton, Hunts., dechning the engagements of public life. He retained the
friendship of Theophilus Lindsey, who visited him in January, 1774, on his way to
London after resigning Catterick. His name appears as "of Paxton, Esq." in the list
of subscribers to Jebb's works. He was High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and
Huntingdonshire from 5 February 1776 to 31 January 1777. In the floor of the
chancel of Little Paxton Church is a black marble slab inscribed to the memory of
APPENDIX. 533
" Richard Beynolds, Esq., eldest son of the late Rev. George Reynolds, D.D., and
Elizabeth Thompson his wife.. ..Jan. 10, 1814, aged 86 years" {Notes and Queries,

P. 107 no. 9. William Tonge was ordained Deacon 6 March 174| by the Bishop
of Norwich and licensed to the curacy of St Matthew's, Ipswich. He is probably the
William Tonge who was instituted Rector of Brauncewell with Anwick, co. Lincoln,
3 September 1760. This living was filled up again in March, 1769. He was insti-
tuted Rector of Westerfield, Suffolk, 26 April 1768. He died at Westerfield 29
August 1788, aged 66 (Cambridge Chronicle, 6 September 1788).
P. 107 no. 11. John Whaley (as he seems to have spelled his name) was ordained
Priest by the Bishop of Rochester 5 April 1747. He was instituted Vicar of Rudstone,
Yorks., 30 May 1751, and Rector of Huggate, Yorks., 28 April 1760. On 19 April
1760, when he is described as Chaplain to Catharine, Countess of Dundonald, he
received a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold both livings,
their respective values being given as £60 and £150, and their distance apart
15 miles. He ceded Rudstone in 1771, but held Huggate until his death, 29 May
1798, in his 76th year, his "many amiable qualities endeared him to his parish-
ioners " (Gentleman's Magazine, 1798, p. 539, where he is wrongly stated to be of
King's College, B.A., 1731). The Editor of the Sedbergh School Register, p. 137,
says that he is identical with the John Whalley who was Rector of Middleton
St George, co. Durham, to which one John Whalley was instituted 8 April 1746,
and the living was vacant in 1798.
P. 108 no. 13. William Chambers was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of Ely
5 June 1748 with letters dimissory from the Bishop of Peterborough, and Priest
by the Bishop of Peterborough 5 November 1748, being instituted Rector of Achurch
with Thorpe Waterville, Northamptonshire, on the same day. He died 4 September
1777. Dr Chambers was a friend of Theophilus Lindsey (P. 101 no. 33), and their
friendship continued through life. With Lindsey he held Unitarian views of re-
ligious doctrine, but did not, as Lindsey did, resign his benefice. Lindsey describes
his friend Chambers as having a mind above all sordid gain, who knew no other use
for his fortune than to make others happy. He was remarkable for a constant cheer-
fulness and innocent pleasantry which much enlivened conversation. His mind was
always open to conviction ; he had a thirst after all useful knowledge, and spared
no pains or cost to attain it.... He had long determined never to renew his Subscrip-
tion to the [39] Articles, and upon this ground had declined considerable preferment
in London, which was offered to him by a noble Earl, his relation. He did not
however think it necessary to follow Lindsey 's example of resigning his hving, but
he altered the Liturgy in accommodation to his own views of scriptural worship, and
534 APPENDIX.
he made it so perfectly Unitarian that Lindsey stated that on visiting his friend he
attended public worship in his church with great satisfaction. If these innovations
had been officially noticed Dr Chambers was fully prepared to have given up his
living rather than have violated his conscience. But such was the popularity of his
character, and the moderation of his diocesan, Dr Hinchcliffe, Bishop of Peterborough,
that he met with no molestation. He left a widow, who survived him thirty years,
and two sons and a daughter (Gentleman's Magazine, 1777, p. 4596 ; Belsham,
Mevioirs of Theophilus Lindney, 62 7iote, 68 ; Lindsey, An Historical View of the
state of the Unitarian Doctrine and Worship, 486 ; Gottlieb Jakob Planck, Neueste
Religionsgeschichte, i, 467). A writer in the Gentleman's Magazine for 1777,
p. 565-6, after stating that Chambers had made the best use of his opportunities for
study at Cambridge proceeds : " These advantages (the best that were to be had in
his native country), he was able to perfect by his travels into Flanders, Holland,
France, and Italy ; where by viewing this larger scene of men and things, he had a
further opportunity of gratifying his inextinguishable thirst after knowledge,
especially of the great Creator and His works, and of whatever might adorn human
life and benefit mankind. From nature, strengthened by habit, he was moulded
into such a temper of kindness and benevolence, that it was his chief delight to be
useful to others and to do good ; for which he was, in one respect, qualified above
many by a turn for medical knowledge, which he diligently cultivated and possessed
in so eminent a degree, that his friends valued his judgment before that of the
ordinary professors of the art, and profited by it in many dangerous cases ; and to
the poor at his gate or visiting them in their wretched cabins he freely dispensed
the blessing of health and long life." The writer, who signs himself " Plutarch,"
strongly sympathised with Chambers' religious views. There is a monument to
Chambers in All Saints' Church, Derby.
P. 108 no. 14. James Stubbs was ordained Deacon 25 December 1749 and
licensed to the curacy of West Walton, Norfolk, he was ordained Priest 3 March

i, 88 b). The College Conclusion Book has the following order : " 21 February 1755,
Agreed to make Mr Stubbs the usual allowance to persons in his unhappy circum-
stances." Cole in his collections (MSS. Cole xxi, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5822,
p. 28 A), has a statement of how the Fellows of the College voted at the election of
Mr Chevallier as Master of the College, 1 February 1775 ; Mr Stubbs did not vote,
the reason given being that he was insane.
P. 108 no. 15. Thomas Frampton was ordained Priest 24 September 1749 by the
Bishop of Salisbury and licensed to the curacy of Broad Hinton, Wilts. Cole in

has the following note on Thomas Frampton: "Senior Taxor, ,1754. In 1769 he
went out D.D. at the Public Commencement on the Installation of the Duke of
Grafton, at which time he opposed Dr Kutherforth, the Professor, in his Act for his
Degree, and succeeded with applause. He is a short, light-made man, rather fat,
great sporter, and much of a gentleman. Soon after married a Mrs Arbuthnot's
daughter, who kept the Hoop Tavern, and is beneficed in Suffolk."
He was admitted a Fellow of the College 26 March 1751, became a Senior
Fellow 31 May 1768 and his fellowship was filled up in March 1771. He was
Junior Dean from 3 March to 5 April 1759 ; Senior Dean from 5 April 1759 to

not of Cambridge (ibid., 26 May 1770). On 7 April 1770 he was instituted to the
sinecure Rectory of St Florence, co. Pembroke, on the presentation of the College.
He held all three benefices until his death, which took place at Newmarket 18 June
1803 (Cambridge Chronicle, 25 June 1803 ; Gentleman's Magazine, Ixxiii, 694). He
was in the Commission of the Peace for the counties of Cambridge and Suffolk. In
the chancel of Ousden Church there is a white marble stone with the following
APPENDIX. 535
inscription : " Sacred | to the memory of | Thomas Frampton, D.D., | late Kector

of Bottesford, in the same county, 25 June 1771 on the presentation of John, Duke
of Bedford. On 12 June 1771, when he is described as Chaplain to John, Duke of
Rutland, he received a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold
both livings, then stated to be of the respective values of £80 and £300, and to be
not more than five miles apart. He resigned Bottesford in 1782, having held it 11
years, for his successor the Rev. John Thornton. In 1775 he was seized with a slight
stroke of palsy ; a second in 1777 deprived him of the use of his right side and
incapacitated him from serving his office in the Church. He lived in this state,
apparently perfectly happy, till 8 April 1786, when he departed this life sincerely
respected by his widow, children and parishioners {Parish Register of Knipton,
quoted in Nichols, History of Leicestershire, ii, 237). There is a monument in the
chancel of Knipton Church with this inscription : " In memory of the Rev. George
Turner, M.A. | thirty-six years rector of this parish | and several years rector of
Bottesford; | one of his majesty's justices | ofthe peace for this county ; | of whom it

P. 109 no. 29. Richard Townley, the father, was a mercer of Rochdale. He was
steward to Alexander Butterworth of Belfield Hall in the parish of Rochdale, who
sold him the property on condition that Townley should supply him with " meat,
drink, and physic," and maintenance suiting to his position ; also keep him in house
and a servant for his life, and after his death see that he was buried in a manner
befitting his rank. Richard Townley married a daughter of William Greaves of
Gartside. Richard Townley the younger was an only son, and succeeded his father
in his estates. He was High Sheriff of Lancashire in 1752. He was a friend and
patron of Tim Bobbin, of whom he wrote a short biographical sketch which was
prefixed to the 1806 edition of his works. He also wrote A Journal kept in the Isle
of Man, 2 vols., 1791. A caricature of him appears in Characteristic Strictures or
Remarks on 100 Portraits, etc., supposed to be on Exhibition, London, 1779. He is
sometimes said to have been the founder of the Sunday-Schools in Rochdale. This,
however, is not the case. What he did was to write a couple of letters on the subject
to Robert Raikes, which were published in the Manchester Mercury 6 January 1784.
He was twice married, first to Miss Western, and secondly to Miss Penny, of Penny
Bridge. He died at Ambleside in 1802. From his mother's family he had succeeded
to the estate of Fulbourn Hall, co. Cambridge. His son, Richard Greaves Townley,
was of Trinity College, B.A., 1773 ; and a grandson of the same name graduated at
Trinity in 1807 (Fishwick, History of the Pansh of Rochdale, 344 ; Sutton, Lanca-
shire Authors ; Burke's Landed Gentry, Townley of Fulbourn). Richard Townley
is referred to several times by Cole in his collections. In his collections for Cam-
bridgeshire (MSS. Cole xxii, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5823, fol. 216 b), are some notes
on the parish of Great Abington. After giving the inscription on the tomb of
Thomas Western, who died 8 April 1754, aged 59, he proceeds : " Mr Western left
behind him a widow and one son and two dauters. The son, Thomas Western,
esq., is now (13 November 1757) about 22 years of age, and unmarried. He was
educated at Hitchin under the present Bishop of Sodor and Man (Dr Hildesley), who
kept a few young gentlemen in his house, where I have called upon him, from whence
he removed to Clare Hall in Cambridge. Of the two dauters, the eldest, Anne, has been
long married to Richard Townley of Belfield in Lancashire, esq., and formerly of
St John's College, Cambridge, and nephew to Mr Commissary Greaves of Fulbourn.
His father was a shopkeeper and steward to Mr Townley of Belfield, who left him
his estate on condition to change his name to Townley, who married one of Mr Greaves'
sisters. The youngest dauter Frances is yet unmarried, and lives with her mother
in London, since the death of Mr Western, who was Justice of the Peace for the
County of Cambridge, but never acted." At fol. 217 a Cole gives the following
APPENDIX. 537
extract from the Parish Register of Gt. Abington : " 1727, Anne y« da. of Thos.
Western of Abington Hall and Catherine his wife : bapt. Nov. 29."

Cole xxix, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5830, fol. 53) in his notes on the Church of
Over in Cheshire: "The high wind in the spring had quite unroofed the Chancel,

P. 109 no. 41. Robert Darwin was christened Robert Waring I)arwin. See the
admission of his two brothers (P. 132 no. 28 and no. 29). He was admitted a
student of Lincoln's Inn 18 June 1743 (as son of Robert Darwin of Elston, Notts.,
esq.) and was called to the Bar 5 February 1751. On the death of his father in
1754 he succeeded to the Elston estate. He died at Elston 3 November 1816, aged
92, he was unmarried {Gentleman'' s Magazine, 1816, ii, 476 fo). Besides some
papers in the Philosophical Transactions, he published Frincipia Botanica, or an
Introduction to the sexual system of Linnaeus. His nephew, Robert Waring Darwin
(M.D. Leyden), is reported to have said that: "This book in MS. was beautifully
written ... and he believed it was published because his old uncle could not endure
that such fine caligraphy should be wasted. But this was hardly just, as the
work contains many curious notes on biology — a subject wholly neglected in
England in the last century. The public, moreover, appreciated the book, as the
copy in my possession is the third edition " (Charles R. Darwin, Life of Erasmus
Darwin, 5 ; The Life and Letters of Charles Danvin, i, 4).
Robert Darwin (the father of Robert Waring) was admitted student of Lincoln's
Inn (as second son of William Darwin, late of Lincoln's Inn, generosiis, deceased)
21 February 170?, and was called to the Bar 25 May 1709. The records of that
Society contain the following curious fact relating to him: "Council held on
May 11th, 1719: — An order since the last Council having been made by the Quatuor
in commons in the Hall, that no person should bring any doggs into the Hall at
Dinner time, it being found very inconvenient, and great disturbance frequently
arising thereby ; and that Jackson, the Head Porter, should put the order in
execution and keep all dogs out of the Hall (to whome soever Jbelonging) whilst
gentlemen were at dinner. Complaint was made at this Council that Robert
Darwin, esq. , a Barrister of this Society, did notwithstanding bring a dog into the
Hall at dinner-time, tho' informed of the said order, which was screened for
the better publication of it. And the Porter offering to put the said order at
execution and to turn his dog out of the Hall, the said Mr Darwin did offer to fling
a pot at the Porter's head, and threatened to knock him down ; whereby the said
Porter was intimidated, and unable to execute the said order. — Mr Darwin now
attended, expressed his sorrow and promised to offend no more " (Records of the
Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn; The Black Books, iii, 256-7). Of this Robert
Darwin there is a portrait at Elston Hall — " and he looks with his great wig and
bands like a dignified Doctor of Divinity" {Life of Erasmus Dancin, 4). William
Darwin, the father of Robert (son and heir of William Darwin of Lincoln's Inn,
esq.), was admitted a student of Lincoln's Inn 17 April 1673. He married the

P. 110 no. 3. William Broome, the father, was a member of the College (see
his admission. Part ii, P. 190 no. 47). He was the friend of Pope, and assisted him
in his translation of the Iliad and Odyssey. 'Storston' should be Stuston, of
which the elder Broome was Rector. The Parish Register of Stuston has the
following entries : (i) among the marriages ; " 1716 William Broome, clerk, and
Rector of this Parish and Mrs Elizabeth Clarke, widow, were married with licence,
July the 2l8t, by me Jas. Oldfield, Rector of Brome" ; (ii) among the Baptisms:
" 1722, Elizabeth, daughter of William Broome {Rector) and Elizabeth, his wife, was
born on Wednesday, December 5th, a little after six in the morning, and bapt.
Tuesday the 18th by Mr Bridge of Palgrave :— 1726, Charles John, son of William
Broome and Elizabeth his wife, born March 15th 1725-6, about five of the clock in

(East Anglian, iii, 60, 61).
Charles John Broome died, while an undergraduate, of the small-pox, in 1747.
An ' Irregular Ode ' on his death will be found in A Collection of Original Poems,
Essays and Epistles by John Werge (P. 119 no. 29), at p. 51, and some Latin verses
by C. J. Broome at p. 288 of that volume (Broome's Christian name is there given
as William, but it is clear from the context that this is a slip).
P. 110 no. 6. Edward Temple Rich did not graduate. His name is given as

P. 110 no. 6. John Robinson did not graduate. John Robinson of Watermillock,
esq. (which explains ' Watermilloes '), was sheriff of Cumberland from 27 January
1769 to 9 February 1770. He died 23 June 1807. The following is the inscription
on the memorial tablet of the Robinson family in Watermillock Church : " To the

Mr John Robinson, of Watermillock, was uncle to the Rev. John Robinson
Hutchinson, many years Fellow of the College, and Founder of the Hutchinson
Studentship. In some letters of Mr Hutchinson the following passages occur
with regard to John Robinson : "I am indebted to him for this small estate
(Hurrock Wood) and one third of Rampside Hall estate near Barrow"..."! have
his large Aiusworth's Latin Dictionary with 'J. Robinson, St Jo"^ Coll.' in red ink
on the fly leaf, but that is the only proof I have, except orally from my father,
that he was a member of St John's College. In Walker's History of Penrith,
p. 100, he is referred to as follows ; Whitfield who shot Mr Milbourn's steward
of Armathwaite Castle, was hung and gibbetted in 1770, on Barrockside. His
pistols are in the possession of Mr Richard Hudson (my late brother-in-law), whose
great uncle, Col. Robinson of Watermillock, was High Sheriff at the time of his
execution."... "It is very interesting for me to learn that Col. Robinson attended
Barton School, which I used often to pass in going to Terrill ' College ' to read
mathematics with Mr Slee, a Quaker, where I had rooms at one time between the
late Dr Cookson's and Bishop Barker's, of Sidney. From Parson and White's
History of Cumberland and Westmoreland, 1829, p. 579, it appears to have been a
good School formerly, and endowed with an estate at Howgill near Sedbergh ; but

it was pulled down some years ago and removed from near the road to a new
position. The Robinsons originally came from Satterthwaite, near Hawkshead,
I think. One bought Rampside Hall about 1700, and he or a descendant
married Miss Dobson, of Watermillock House, and heiress, where they afterwards
resided."

is extraordinary attended 61 visitations at Skipton, and was absent from his church
one Sunday in the year on an average during the whole of that period, and seldom
more than one in any single year. He never had a curate, but did all the duty of
his populous and extensive parish himself to the satisfaction of his numerous
parishioners, with whom he lived, like a good pastor, in perfect amity ; beloved by
the churchmen, and, although a faithful and zealous advocate and supporter of
the Established Religion, possessed of the respect, confidence and esteem of the
Dissenters of every denomination, by all of whom his loss is generally and
sincerely lamented ; for he preferred living in peace with all, and in the con-
scientious discharge of his ministerial duties to a nice and scrupulous exacting of
his tithes and dues; enforcing the doctrine he taught by a practical example of
Christian virtues and moral rectitude. He laboured in his calling to the last day
of his life, for he buried a corpse the evening before he died, went to bed as well or
rather better than he had been for some time, and was a corpse himself before
daylight the next morning; with perfect resignation receiving the awful summons,
and closing a useful, long, active, and exemplary life, spent without ostentation,
but with meekness and humility, in the performance of the duties of his calling as
a clergyman. In his character as a Magistrate he was not less useful and correct,
being humane, loyal, just, and firm."

sideration, in a letter to Dr John Taylor dated 19 June 1754 writes : " I heartily
wish Mr Newling success in this affair, whom I look upon as the likeliest, if not the
only person, to retrieve the credit of the School." One of his scholars wrote thus
in after life of him : " Mr Newling was a perfect gentleman in manners ; his
countenance was extremely handsome. From everything like assumption he was
indeed most remote, and his conversation displayed a genuine good humour which
put the younger persons that were admitted to his company quite at their ease."
(Fisher, Annals of Shreiosbury School, 238 ; Histonj of Shrewsbury School, Adnitt

having superintended in earlier life the studies of two of his Grace's relations at
Cambridge, Thomas Townshend, afterwards Viscount Sydney, and his brother
Henry Townshend, afterwards a Lieutenant-Colonel. In his letter to Mr Newling,
offering him the preferment, the Archbishop says : " I promised Mr Townshend to
do something for you long ago if an opportunity offered, which did not during my
continuance in that diocese (i.e. Lichfield and Coventry). I am now at liberty to
make you an offer of this preferment, which I do with pleasure, as thinking you
equal to the undertaking, though of no small consequence. ..The duty is great, and
requires a man of prudence and ability to execute it well, and as such I take you to
be... you may imagine I have been much solicited about the disposal of it, but have
thought it of so much consequence that my chief consideration has been how to
dispose of it for the real advantage of the parish and my own credit. If yoa
accept it, I am satisfied I shall have obtained these points, which will be real satis-
faction to me " {History of Shrewsbury School, 129). Mr Newling was instituted to
the 'right portion' of the Rectory of Westbury, Salop, 8 May 1772, having on
22 April received a dispensation to hold this Rectory (valued at £150) with that of

Henry Briggs, sometime Rector of Holt, Norfolk (she was born 17 August 1731).
He was presented by his wife to the Rectory of Holt and instituted 26 April
1750 ; he was instituted Vicar of Gorleston, Suffolk, 25 November 1777. He
held both livings until his death 12 February 1804 [Camhridge Chronicle,
18 February 1804). He was father of Joshua Smith, Fellow of the College,
B.A. 1780. Joshua Smith, the younger, succeeded his father as Rector of Holt
on his mother's presentation. Mrs Smith died 30 September 1810 aged 80 [Cam-
bridge Chronicle, 12 October 1810).
P. 113 no. 41. Thomas Gisborne was the second son of James Gisborne,
Rector of Staveley and Prebendary of Durham. He took the degree of B.A. 1747,
M.A. 1751, M.D. 1758. He was admitted a Fellow of the College 10 April 1753,
became Senior Fellow 30 June 1769 and held his fellowship until his death. He
was admitted a Candidate of the College of Physicians 30 September 1758, and
Fellow 1 October 1759. He delivered the Gulstonian Lectures in 1760; was Censor
in 1760, 1768, 1771, 1775, 1780, and 1783. Elect 28 June 1781 ; and President of the
College of Physicians 1791, 1794, 1796 to 1803 inclusive. He was also Physician to
St George's Hospital, to which office he was elected 24 January 1757, resigning it in
1781. He was also Physician in Ordinary to the King. He died at Romeley, co.
Derby, 24 February 1806 (Munk, Roll of the Royal College of Physicians, ii, 227-8 ;
Annual Register, 1806, Chronicle 32*; there is a Gisborne pedigree in Glover,
History of Derbyshire, ii, 217). In C. R. Pemberton's Harveian Oration, delivered
18 October 1806, Gisborne is referred to as follows : " Praefuit huic Societati per
multos annos, egregia sibi laude, et integritatis suae opinione ; postremo ut eam,
APPENDIX. 545
qua hanc Societatem coluit, benevolentiam ostenderet, testamento multos libros
precio carissimos nobis legavit."
During his lifetime he gave £400 towards certain alterations in the first Court
of the College. By his will dated 8 February 1804 he bequeathed "of his books in
London all such as shall be deemed in the opinion of Dr Budd purely medical to
the Library of the College of Physicians, London, all the rest to the Library of
St John's College." He was possessed of many books both in London and at his
Derbyshire residence, and in both places were collections of prints, some bound in the
manner of books, others in portfolios, some loose, some with letterpress and some
without. The opinion of Counsel was taken, and was to the effect that the College
had no claim to the books in Derbyshire or to the prints unless bound together as
books. Many books however came to the library, and Gisborne's arms have been
placed in the west window.
Thomas Gisborne is mentioned several times in the letters of the poet Gray,
whom he attended in his last illness. Mitford in his notes on the letters mentions
that he had met Gisborne at the dinner-table of Sir Isaac Pennington. " He was
rather short and corpulent. When the Government of the day agreed to purchase
John Hunter's Museum, the offer of being the conservators of the collection was
made to the College of Physicians through Dr Gisborne, the President of the
College. He put the letter in his pocket, forgot it, and the offer was never brought
before the Council of the College. The Government subsequently made an offer of it
to the College of Surgeons, who accepted it " (Gray's Works, ed. Gosse, 1884, iii, 67).
The following is taken from the Cambridge Chronicle of 29 October 1808 :
"Dr Beddoes in a late publication 'on the abuses in medicine' relates the follow-
ing anecdote. ' One of the Princesses being took ill and Dr Gisborne in attendance,
her Royal Highness enquired of the doctor if she might not indulge in the use of a
little ice-cream, as she thought it would greatly refresh her. Dr Gisborne, who
never contradicted his Royal patients, answered that he entirely agreed with her
Royal Highness, and the ice was accordingly provided. His Majesty visiting the
chamber, and observing the glass with some of the ice still remaining in it, seemed
alarmed, on the supposition that it might be improper; but her Royal Highness
assured him that she had the doctor's permission for what she had done. His
Majesty ordered the doctor into his presence, and observing to him that he had
never heard of ice being recommended in such cases before, expressed liis appre-
hension that it was some new system. The doctor seemed a little confounded, but
quickly recovering himself replied, ' Oh no, your Majesty, it may be allowed,
provided it be taken warm.' ' Oh, well, well, doctor, very well, very well, warm
ice, warm ice.' His Majesty seemed to be much entertained, and for some time
afterwards always took the opportunity of asking those he was accustomed to meet
whether they had heard of Dr Gisborne's system of warm ice.'"

James Ashton was buried 14 March in All Saints Churchyard, the entry in the
Parish Register describing him as 'James Ashton, Scholar, murdered.' The case
was a very mysterious one ; the following account of it is taken from the Gentle-
man''s Magazine, xvi, 466, 469.
From the General Evening Post, Sept. 6, Cambridge, Sept. 2, 1746.
" Sib, The case of Mr Brinkley, a Student of St John's College, who was lately
tried here for the murder of Mr Ashton, being of an uncommon nature, a short
account of it may be acceptable to some of your readers. — It appear'd by the
evidence, that, on the 9th of March, after twelve at night, Mr Brinkley knocked
at the door of the chamber next to Mr Ashton's, and having awaken'd Mr C ,
the young gentleman who liv'd there, desired him to come to the assistance of
Mr Ashton, who, he said, \yas either dead or dying : that Mr C , enquiring
whether he had a candle, and finding that lie had not, bid him call the porter
of the college : that these three (Mr Brinkley, Mr C and the porter) went into
Mr A 's room together, and found him dead, his cheeks warm, lying upon the
bed without coat, waistcoat, or shoes: that Mr B , when he called the porter,.
was as much undressed, and that his hands and shirt were bloody : that the two
young gentlemen then went and called up Dr H 1, a physician of the same
1 Dr William Heberden, M.D. 1739.
APPENDIX. 547
College, who examining the body, saw a wound just above the collar-bone, about an
inch in length : that the body being afterwards open'd, this wound appear'd to be
about an inch deep, and to have entered the subclavian vein : that in the skin
it was semicircular, or rather semioval ; but within straight.
The account which Mr B immediately gave of this affair was as follows : —
That while he and Mr A were in bed together, the latter either reaching for the
chamber-pot, or having taken it into his hands, fell from the bed, and not rising
again, he (Mr B ) called to him, but received no answer : that soon after,
hearing Mr A groan, he got out of bed and lifted him up, and perceiving
that he did not move, ran, without knowing what had happened, to call assistance.
It appeared farther, that the chamber-pot was found broken, and very bloody,
near the bed-side ; that there was a stream of blood from the place where the pieces
of the pot lay to the side of the room, and no blood in any other part of the
chamber ; that there was observed by three witnesses, a piece of the pot, consisting
of part of the bottom and part of the side, which part of the side about two or
three inches in length stood almost erect, and was pointed ; that one of the
witnesses looked at this piece of the pot, and at the wound, and thinking that
the piece would just fit the wound, was going to take it up, and try whether it
would or not ; but being told that nothing ought to be moved till the coroner had
been there, he desisted ; that the coroner's jury coming all together into the room,
which was very little, trampled upon the pieces of the pot, and broke them.
These are the most material circumstances which attended Mr A 's death.
The improbability of the story Mr B told was the chief evidence against him ;
and this was strengthened by the depositions of two surgeons, who viewed the body,
and thought it highly improbable, tho' far from being impossible (these were the
words of either one or both of them) that such a wound should be given by a
chamber-pot. Their chief reason for this opinion was that the wound was clean,
not jagged ; and therefore seemed to them to be made by a sharp instrument : but
Dr H was of opinion, from the nature of the wound, that it was made by
something not very sharp, but of such a kind as that the skin was pressed inwards
before it was cut. And three instances were produced of persons wounded almost
in the same manner with Mr A , by falling upon earthenware. All these
wounds were described as perfectly clean, and free from jaggedness ; two of them were
mortal, and one was remarkably parallel to the present case. A surgeon deposed
that he was called to the assistance of a girl, who, by falling with a mug in her
hand, made a wound above her collar-bone, which cut the subclavian vein, of
which wound she died in a few minutes : this accident happened about 18 years ago.
There were some other points which had given occasion to suspect the truth of
Mr B 's story ; the chief were that Mr A 's cloaths were found the next day
bloody in several places; and that there were some marks of violence in the
chamber, the door having been forced open, and a piece of the matting torn down.
The first of these objections was answered by one of the witnesses produced
against Mr B , who deposed, that he saw these cloaths early in the morning
after the fact, and that they were not then bloody ; and that he afterwards saw one
of the coroner's jury, in searching the room, carelessly throw them into the blood.
Of the door Mr B had given this account. That Mr A and he coming into
college together, the deceased desired him to lie with him, and went up stairs
before him ; that when he came up he found Mr A 's door shut against him,
and forced it open (as the coroner said he expressed himself in his examination) or
rapt against it, and it opened (as he told the story to others). It appeared by the
witnesses, that the staple belonging to Mr A 's door had been frequently drawn
out, and was so loose that the door when locked might be opened without much
violence ; so that rapping against it might force it open. As to the matting, an
acquaintance of Mr A 's, who was in his chamber the day before his death,
deposed, that it was then torn, and, as he and Mr A believed, by a pointer
which had been shut into the room.
It was proved, that Mr A used frequently to lie in his breeches and
stockings, which was thought to account for his being found in that dress.
It was proved by some of their common acquaintance, that Mr A and
Mr B were intimate friends, that they had never been known to quarrel, and
that they spent the evening before the accident together in perfect friendship.
Several witnesses were produced of Mr B 's good temper; among others
Mr K ^ of Bury, at whose school Mr B was educated, and which he

had left but a few weeks before the affair happened, spake of it in very strong
terms, and said, that he had never known anything in his behaviour which shewed
him to be malicious, revengeful, or quarrelsome. A gentleman, who had been his
schoolfellow, confirmed this testimony, and said farther, that he had known him
several times pass by affronts, which others would have resented.
The more remarkable parts of this story I have related in the very words of the
witnesses ; the others, I think, are not misrepresented. I attended the trial as an
indifferent hearer, and one who was very doubtful in what light this affair would
appear ; but I must confess, that before Mr B was acquitted by the jury,
I was entirely convinced of his innocence. The story he told was indeed im-
probable, but acknowledged on all sides to be possible : he had been constant in
his manner of relating it ; and all the minute circumstances observed afterwards
in Mr A 's room were consistent with it, but scarce to be reconciled with any
other supposition. There appeared not the least reason to suspect any quarrel
between him and Mr A ; and had there been any, yet his character was de-
clared to be such as must vindicate him from the imputation of murder."
From the Daily Advertiser, Sept. 16.
' ' Sir, The public has been amused with accounts of the late unfortunate death of
Mr Ashtan, a young gentleman of St John's College in Cambridge, in such a manner,
and with so many repetitions, that they seem rather to triumph over the pro-
secutor's ill success, than a conviction of innocence. — I think it my duty to
undeceive the public, who perhaps are not thoroughly acquainted with this affair.
The account in the Gen. Even. Post of the 6th Inst, and some other newspapers,
has an air of impartiality ; circumstances are ranged under their respective heads,
and to wind up the ball, all this by an indifferent hearer at the trial.
I myself was an indifferent hearer at the trial, and a disinterested person at the
examination, and the taking the depositions of the witnesses before the justices,
immediately after the unfortunate accident, which furnishes me the following
observations.
First, the account given by the suspected person of his coming into Mr Ashton's
room, carries the strongest tincture of guilt with it, as it is vai'ious, contradictory
and, in some cases, impossible to be true. His first account was that Ashton
and he parted upon their coming into college, and that Ashton called after him
from the screens to lie with him, and that he return'd from the boghouse to Ashton's
room, which he found lock'd, but upon his knocking Ashton open'd it.
His second account was thus : he said the deceased ask'd him to lie with him,
and that both ran up stairs together; but which of them open'd or burst open the
door, they were in such a hurry, he could not tell.
His third account was thus : that upon their coming into college, he went up
with the deceas'd to his room, in order that they might lie together ; but that the
deceas'd open'd the door, but he could not remember whether it was with his foot,
or key.
His fourth, which he confess'd to the coroner and his inquest (and which was
fully prov'd on the trial) was as follows, viz. That he and the deceas'd parted
on their coming into college in the middle of the first court, when Ashton went
in to his own room, and called to him from out of the window (which by the by
was impossible ; for the deceas'd had three story high to go, besides his distance
from the middle of the court to the stair-case, and the other not above twelve
or fourteen yards before he got out of hearing into another court) as he was going
to the boghouse, from whence, he said, he return'd, and found the outer door of
Ashton's room lock'd (which Ashton would not have done, if he intended he should
lie with him), upon which, he said, he burst it open, and the staple was the next
morning found in the middle of the floor.
The account the suspected person gave of this affair (says the author of Gen.
Even.) was as follows. That while he and Mr Ashton were in bed together,
the latter, either reaching for the chamber-pot or having taken it into his hands,
fell from the bed, &c. It is well the writer has thus grossly misrepresented the
fact, for the real account he gave condemns him at once, and so his historian
wisely, but not honestly, dropt it. For upon his examination before the justice
the 20th of March, he said, that the deceas'd ask'd him for the chamber-pot, which
he gave him. Now that is impossible, or at least highly improbable, for the pot
was not on that side of the bed in which he lay, nor does he pretend the contrary ;
so that Ashton would have reach'd the pot himself had he wanted. It appeared
that the chamber-pot was found broken into several pieces, and bloody near the
APPENDIX. • 549
bedside, and that there was a stream of blood, which began to run beyond the place
where the pieces of the pot lay, and so on to them, and that from the place where
the blood had begun to run to the side of the room there was a continual declivity.
It appeared also that the bow and handle of the coal-hole door-key was very bloody.
There was observed by three witnesses a piece of the pot, consisting of part of
the bottom and part of the side, which part of the side, about two or three inches
in length, stood upright ; one of these witnesses deposed, that he looked at that
piece, and declared that the top thereof was not bloody. But another, a college
footman (an extraordinary judge) deposed that he view'd the wound and piece
of the pot, and he believed it would have fitted the wound. But the surgeons who
had examined the wound, and who were certainly more to be relied upon than an
ignorant fellow, or indeed any other, were of opinion that the wound was given by
some sharp instrument, and not by the pot, for the reasons set forth by these
gentlemen on the trial, viz. admitting it possible to have been done by some shred
of the pot, it must have been a jagged wound, and some particles of it must have
remained therein ; but it was smooth, nor could they find the least particle of even
the bigness of a grain of sand : again he must have been scratched, cut, or bruised
in more places than one by falling on so many pieces, as it is said the pot is
broke in; whereas this one wound just above the collar-bone and right shoulder,
not above an inch in length, must have been the effect of some sharp instrument
only. A ph n, who likewise viewed the wound, was of the same opinion, upon
his examination before the justices (as is evident by his deposition), but on the
trial he said, it was made with something obtuse, and of such a kind, that the skin
was pressed in before it was cut. How he came thus to vary, or whether he had
a more lively idea of the wound near six months after, than he had at the instant
he .view'd it, is best known to himself: but that the skin was so pressed (as
mention'd by the doctor) was absolutely denied by one of the surgeons, a gentle-
man eminent in his profession, and consequently more conversant with wounds,
and who must therefore be allow'd a better judge. Therefore should this posthu-
mous opinion be of greater weight than the opinions of the other two gentlemen,
to whose province only the affair in hand properly belonged ?
There were three instances produced of persons wounded by the breaking of
earthen-ware, one whereof (says the author of the above mentioned paper) was
remarkable, parallel to the present case. But how any surgeon could depose that,
without ever having seen the wound, is amazing: add to this, it was no ways
a similar case, as not being attended with bursting open a door, and death
immediately following; besides the position the mug must be held in was far
different from the supposed situation of the pot.
It was likewise deposed, that the suspected person never lay in his breeches and
. stockings, and that neither used to go to bed without their night-caps ; also that
the suspected person's shoes stood near the study door, the bottoms very bloody,
and some drops upon the straps and upper leathers ; whereas, upon his examination
before the justice, he said he put them off by the bed-side and never saw them
after.
Further it was deposed, that the deceased's cloaths were very bloody, and that
the waistcoat, from the right shoulder down to the bottom, was, inside and outside,
all stain'd, and the bottom very bloody, and that the coat was much more so. But
a college bedmaker accounted for their being so in this manner, viz. that the
coroner's jury threw them into the blood ; which they one and all absolutely denied.
Two persons were produced to his character ; but how many could have been
produced from B y, and Ca ge, that would have given a quite different
account of his behaviour? But those instances at Clare Hall and the castle are
sufficient to convince every unprejudiced person of what disposition he was of, and
which will not clear him from imputation. How he must behave dum aetas, metus,
<& magister prohibebant affects not the present case ; but if he was mild and
tractable at school, his known behaviour here bespeaks a sad revolution from virtue,
from reason, and common humanity.
But it was not so with the unfortunate deceas'd : he was of a candid, generous,
and humane disposition ; remarkable abroad for his genius, affability and good-
nature ; at home for his filial duty and obedience : a youth while alive, universally
belov'd, and alas ! now dead, generally lamented. Happy had it been for him, had
he kept the resolution he had taken about a week before, and even the very day he
was kill'd, of shaking off the licentious acquaintance he had unfortunately fallen into ;

for possibly by so doing, we might not have lost a youth, whose public and private
character raised in all his friends the greatest expectation."

of the kingdom, and the living was put in sequestration for the benefit of his

William Wragge, the father, was of Emmanuel College (LL.B. 1720) ; he was
instituted Rector of Galby 16 October 1727, and held the living until his death

He held Ashley until his death in 1790 or 1791 (Phillipps, Institutiones Wiltoniae,

P. 118 no. 17. Richard Southgate was born at Alwalton 16 March 17f|. His
father, William Southgate, was a considerable farmer there, his mother, Hannah,
was the daughter of Robert Wright, of Castor, in Northamptonshire, a surveyor
and engineer, principally concerned in the construction of the canal from Alwalton
to Thrapston, in Northamptonshire. He was the eldest of ten children. He was
first placed at a private school at Uppingham, from thence he was removed to
Fotheringay, and after a short stay there removed to Peterborough School. He
attracted the notice of Dr John Thomas, Bishop of Lincoln, a friend of his father,
and under the patronage of that Prelate and with an exhibition from Peterborough,
came to St John's. He seems to have tried for a fellowship at the College, but
did not obtain one. He was ordained Deacon 24 September 1752, and licensed to
the curacy of Haddon, Hunts., and was ordained Priest 22 September 1754 and
licensed to the curacy of Godmanchester, all by Dr Thomas, Bishop of Lincoln.
Bishop Thomas presented him to the Rectory of WooUey, Hunts., and he was
instituted 25 November 1754. The living became vacant during the minority of a
Mr Trimmell Peacock, who was patron and intended for the Church. His
guardians, being unable to agree as to the person they should present suffered the
living to lapse to the Bishop. As soon as Mr Peacock had taken Orders Mr South-
gate resigned the living in 1761, and Mr Peacock was presented. Mr Southgate
during his incumbency had rebuilt a considerable part of the Rectory premises, and
" acted more like a faithful steward than the real rector of the parish." For some
years after this he held various curacies at Upton and Leighton Bromswold in
Hunts. ; Weston and Wykeham, in Lincolnshire ; Coveney and Manea, in the Isle
of Ely ; Louth, Rathby, Tathewell and Cawkwell, in Lincolnshire, and Doddington
and Newnham, in Kent. On 12 May 1753, while curate of Weston, he was
admitted a member of the Gentlemen's Society at Spalding. In January 1763 he
removed to London and became one of the sub-curates of St James's. On 25
December 1765, he became curate of St Giles's in the Fields, London. He was
instituted Rector of Little Steeping, co. Lincoln, 24 December 1782, and again
8 May 1783, on the presentation of the Duke of Ancaster. On 6 September 1784,
he was appointed Assistant Librarian to the British Museum. On 11 May 1790 he
was instituted Rector of Warsop, Notts., on the presentation of John Gully Knight,
esq. He then resigned Little Steeping. He continued as curate of St Giles's, and
APPENDIX. 557
held Warsop also until his death, residing at Warsop in the summer only. All
through his life he was a great collector of books, coins and medals. And he was
exceedingly charitable to the poor of St Giles's. He died 25 January 1795. It was
rumoured at the time that his death was caused by ill-treatment from some Irish-
men who were disgusted at not having partaken of a charity distributed by him at
St Giles's, " and even a Grubean elegy, alluding to it, was cried about the streets,"
but this was erroneous. His books and other collections were sold by Leigh and
Sotheby in April and May 1795, the sale extending over 21 days. He seems to
have been a kindly, good man. He was a warm promoter of Sunday Schools in
London, and supported one at Warsop. On a tablet in St Giles's Church is the
following inscription: "In | memory of | the Eev. Kichard Southgate, A.B. | rector
of Warsop, | in the County of Nottingham : ( one of the sub-librarians | of the
British Museum : I and, during 30 years, curate of this parish ; | who died Jan. 25,
1795, I in the 66tn year of his age. | In everj' station of his life | he executed its
respective duties | with judgment, diligence, and fidelity. | Deep were his researches,
and his learning various. | Languages and Science acknowledged him a Scholar,
and Theology, a Divine. | The purity of his faith, the rectitude of his conduct, and
his unwearied labours in the pastoral offices, | testified his piety | towards God :
his mildness, humility, and candour, | with his exemplary attention to the wants,
temporal as well as spiritual, | of his fellow creatures, | proved his benevolence
towards Man. | Header ! | if thou canst — excel him. | It will be well | if thou canst
equal him."

holy Sacrament in the parish church of Cartmel on Easter Sunday, and was soon
after taken very ill, and had much difficulty in breathing ; but getting a little better,
and being very desirous of returning to town, he set forward on Wednesday,
April 30, but did not get much farther than Stockport in Cheshire, when his
complaint returned with great violence, and terminated his life almost instanta-
neously, in his carriage, without a groan. His remains were interred in Cartmel
Church on Wednesday the 14th instant, amidst an amazing concourse of people,
eager to pay their last tribute to the memory of so great and good a man. His
Lordship was well versed in the arts and sciences, and in natural history, especially
botany, which he had made his particular study for several of his latter years.
But to speak of his charity, and the goodness of his heart, would exceed all praise;
there was certainly never a man so much lamented, and with so great reason,
as he has been, in the country where he was known ; and his farmers and domesticks
have suffered an almost irreparable loss. In short, it may be truly said of him,
without exaggeration, that, for honour and integrity, he was not excelled in the

was buried in St Mary le Strand (Croston's edition of Baines' History of Lan-
cashire, v, 102 ; Notes and Queries, ser. 2, v, 173 ; Hardy's Le Neve, iii, 328). He
held the Vicarage of Walton-on-the-Hill together with his Bishopric, in commendam
(London Chronicle, 2 February 1773).
William Cole has two accounts of Bishop Richmond. One in hia collections for
an Athenae Cantabrigienses (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5879), the other in his history
of St John's (ibid. Addl. MSS. 5850). The latter is the fuller of the two, and is as
follows :
" Richard Richmond, LL.D., is the son of the late Rector of Walton-on-the-Hill,
in Lancashire ... his father was always necessitous. The son was of St John's
College, but never Fellow. He quitted it and returned to take his LL.D. degree,
and lived in College in a most iiowy and expensive manner, borrowing money of
every one who would lend it, or had it to lend. I saw him once at our Archdeacon's
Visitation in Buckinghamshire, whither he accompanied my worthy and learned
friend, Dr John Taylor, as a companion, during the Visitation of his whole
jurisdiction, who was very fond of him, being of a cheerful and gay conversation.
562 APPENDIX.
though the Archdeacon had cause to repent of his ill-placed confidence : for I heard
him complain some two or three years after, that he had borrowed 2 or 300 li. of
him which he never expected to recover. Mr Bullock, the present Rector of Dry
Drayton, lost £500 by him, and Mr Grove, of St John's College, a very considerable
sum. In short, he had such an influence over them, and other gentlemen of his
acquaintance, that it looked more like magic and enchantment than the effects of
friendship. Whenever he went out of College or returned to it, where he lived
a good part of his time, as Fellow Commoner, he was sure to carry a train of them
with him to his first stage at Huntingdon ; and on notice of his return, he was
escorted back with the same joviality. He was the first man that ever made use of
a Sedan chair to carry him to any of the Churches in Cambridge, when he preached,
as a great favour, for any of his acquaintance. At Mrs Dauvert's, at the Hoop
Tavern, he frequently dined luxuriously and stipulated with the waiter, to whom
he gave half-a-crown, not to leave him for a moment till dinner was over. He
was used to say on leaving Cambridge at any time, ' Now the price of sweet-breads
will sink two-pence a piece.' He was a well-made, showy person, and always full
dressed ; and used generally to have 20 or 30 guineas lying openly upon his table,
or chimney-piece, in order to cheat people into an opinion of his opulence. Another
of his artifices to deceive people to lend him money without security was pretty
singular. It is this. He had a picture in his Eooms of a young lady, whom he
used regularly to toast, and whom he pretended he was to marry with a vast
fortune, and had actually Articles of Marriage drawn, in order that the attorney
might mention it, and the story was propagated, when in fact no such person ever
existed. When these arts were discovered and he found himself in danger of being
secured, he shifted his quarters and avoided the importunity of his creditors, and I
was informed, 27 December 1774, by a person who has occasionally been mentioned
once or twice before, and who in the summer or autumn before had been a tour in
Scotland [Cole's informant was Dr William Howell Ewin, see MSS. Cole, Brit.
Mus. Addl. MSS. 5879], that he lodged at Dunkeld, at the Inn kept by one
Mrs Donaldson, where Dr Richmond for some months lived and boarded, as a
retreat from his creditors, and as w-as supposed with a design to ingratiate himself
into the acquaintance of the Duke of Athol, with whom before he was utterly
unacquainted. However that may be, the plan took effect, for he was taken into
the family as chaplain and was tutor to the children, and on the death of the late
worthy Dr Mark Hildesley, Bishop of Sodor and Man, he was nominated by the
Duke and Duchess of Athol in January 1773 to that Bishoprick, and a dispensation
or commendam passed the Great Seal at the same time to empower him to hold
the Vicarage of Walton-on-the-Hill in Lancashire together with his See.
" The preceding account I received from two gentlemen who ought to know him
well, being both contemporaries with him in the same society and on whose veracity
I chuse to rest it. They are both great talkers and love to make the most of a
story. The former. President of the College and a man of reputation, the other
greater in Degree but lower credit, and has occasionally been mentioned by me in
the course of this volume [In the margin Cole has written G. A., S.T.B., i.e.
George Ashby ; W. H. E., LL.D., i.e. William Howell Ewin]. I was told the same
day, Dec. 27, 1774, by a friend (Mr L. F., of Trin. Coll.) [F. Lort], on whose word
I can depend, and who had been with Mr Pennant this summer on a progress in
Wales and the Isle of Man, that they accidentally met with his Lordship on his
Visitation, and dined with him at a gentleman's house on the Island, where his
grace before meat was ' Give us this day our daily bread,' and after it, 'Hallowed
be thy name.' He was as pompous and prelatical, magnificent and episcopal, in
his little Diocese, with his purple coat and silk cassock under it, and his equipage
suitable as any Bishop in Christendom. It was probably in order to ridicule this
pomposity in a Bishop, who has no seat in Parliament, that some one, who bore
him no good will, put this in the public papers in August 1776 : mandates of this
sort from the Bishops on the other side of the water, I mean in France, bting
pretty common, in England not so: 'A correspondent in the Isle of Man informs
us. That in order to prevent the spreading of Methodism there, the Lord Bishop of
that Diocese has issued his mandate to the clergy, warning them not to admit to
the Communion such people as shall thereafter be known to countenance or
frequent such assemblies. The Mandate was read on Sunday sen'night in all the
Parish Churches and Chapels of the Island' {Cumberland Pncket).
"We were informed within this month — I write this August 22, 1777 — in the
APPENDIX. 563
public prints, that his Lordship being on a Visitation, sent his baggage by water
to meet him at a certain place ; this was all taken by an American privateer on
that coast and carried into New England. It is the first rochet and lawn sleeves
that ever was imported into that indecent country and probably will be the last ;
except the people there turn pirates, which is not improbable, and they then may
happen now and then to catch a travelling Irish Bishop and make a show of him
in their country.
" In this and other articles, I have put down many minutiae for want of better
material, yet even these give the character as well as the best. It was said in the
Cambridge Ohronicle, of Saturday 12 February 1780, that the Bishop died in London
on Friday, February 4. I heard a gentleman say that he met him this year at
Matlock, whither he came privately to eat trout and stayed there some days on
that account, was grown enormously fat and unwieldy, but immensely pompous.
He died in Cecil Street in the Strand, and buried in that Parish Church, quite
insolvent as I am informed."
Bishop Richmond is said to have been an eloquent preacher (Butler, Memoirs of
Bishop Hildesley, 318). See also a reference to him in Nichols, Literary Illustra-
tions, iv, 692. He was consecrated Bishop of Sodor and Man 14 February 1773 at
Whitehall Chapel by the Archbishop of York, the Bishops of Durham, Ely and
Chester assisting, and did homage to the King next day {Annual Register, xvi, 75).
He was buried in the Church of St Mary-le-Strand ; his arms were : sable, a cross
fleury, between four estoiles or (Notes and Queries, 2 Ser. v, 173). See on the
Richmond Family, Fishwick, History of Garstang. It seems clear that he did
issue some notice to his clergy with regard to the Methodists, and that the ' Man-
date,' quoted by Cole, was not a practical joke; for Wesley says in his Journal,
1 June 1777 : " Mr Corbett said he would gladly have asked me to preach, but that
the bishop had forbidden him ; who also had forbidden all his clergy to admit any
methodist preacher to the Lord's Supper."

(ibid. 30 September 1797; Hennessy, Novum Repertorium, 42).
P. 120 no. 42. John Cookson was ordained Deacon 3 March 175^, when he

1803, p. 530 ; Mitford, Gray and Mason's Correspondence, 506 ; Foster's Peerage,
Baron Rokeby). Sir Egerton Brydges (in -his Autobiograpluj, ii, 10) gives the fol-
lowing account of the Rev. William Robinson : " He was an indolent man — of
polished manners, but sometimes apparently slow and dreamy — till a little provoked,
when he became sharp and contradictory ; now and then, a little humoursome and
petulant ; liberal and violent in his political principles ; unaffected ; a despiser of
show and impatient of artifice. He was a lover of the arts, and very well versed in
them. He had travelled in Italy, and was an excellent judge of pictures. In
literary composition his taste was severe ; and he loved plainness so much, that
one of his favourite authors was Dr Franklin. He was a handsome man — some-
thing above the middle-height — but rather clumsily made. With great seeming
humility, he was rather proud, and fired like his brother at the smallest liberty
taken with him."
Mrs Montagu, the authoress of The Essay on the Genius of Shakespeare, was a
sister of Mr William Robinson.

instituted 23 August 1773. He died in May 1774 {Cambridge Chronicle, 14 May
1774). He was instituted Vicar of Milton Abbas, Dorset, 11 May 1758, ceding this
on his institution to Barrow (Hutchins, History of Dorset, iv, 408 a).
P. 122 no. 24. Thomas Fielde, the father, was a Fellow of the College (see his
admission, Part ii, P. 150 no. 23).
Thomas Fielde, the younger, graduated as Feilde, B.A. 1750, M.A. 1754. He
was ordained Deacon 18 March 1753 and licensed to the curacy of Boyleston, co.
Derby, with a salary of £30; he was ordained Priest 22 September 1754, being
still curate of Boyleston, all by the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry. He was
instituted Rector of Eastwick 14 June 1764, and Vicar of Stansted Abbotts
18 February 1767, holding both livings, which are in Herts, until his death in
1781. He married Elizabeth, daughter of the Rev. Henry Fletcher, Rector of
Boyleston and Spondon, co. Derby. She was buried at Lewisham in Kent, in
1785 (Cussans, History of Hertfordshire, Hundred of Braughing, 46, 67 ; Clutter-
buck, History of Hertfordshire, iii, 243, where there is a pedigree).
P. 122 no. 25. Samuel Bell was ordained Deacon 2 June 1751 by the Bishop of
Peterborough.
P. 122 no. 26. Joseph Manlove, the father, was perhaps the person of that
name, son of Thomas Manlove, of Scraptoft, co. Derby, clerk, who matriculated at
Oxford from Magdalen Hall, 12 March 171|, aged 17, B.A. 1722; he perhaps was
the Rector of Hertford, Herts. (Foster, Alumni Oxonienses). Thomas Manlove
was ordained Deacon 30 June 1751 and licensed second schoolmaster and Lecturer
in Derby ; he was ordained Priest 17 June 1753 and licensed to the curacy of
Weston, CO. Derby, with a salary of £35, all by the Bishop of Lichfield and
Coventry. He was instituted Vicar of Spondon, co. Derby, 29 September 1761,
on the presentation of Thomas Lowe, and Vicar of St Alkmund'-s in Derby 18
August 1762. He was also curate of Quarndon, co. Derby. In 1793, an aug-
mentation of £200 fell by lot to Quarndon from Queen Anne's Bounty, but the
Governors declined to confirm the grant unless the curate would agree to do duty
every Sunday. This Mr Manlove declined and the augmentation passed to another
benefice (Cox, The Churches of Derbyshire, iv, 109). There is a monument to
Thomas Manlove in the church of St Alkmund's, from which it appears that he
died 1 February 1802, aged 72, and that Susannah, his widow, died 9 March 1823,
aged 83 (Glover, History of Derbyshire, ii, 477 ; see also Gentleman's Magazine,
1802, i, 274 a, where the date of his death is given as 4 February).
P. 122 no. 27. Castraton should be Casterton. John Chevallier was born 3
August, and baptized at Casterton 6 August 1729. His father was curate of the
village of Great Casterton to the rector John Peake (of St John's, B.A, 1713).
The Parish Registers of Great Casterton contain the following entries of his sisters:
Mary, bom and baptized 23 June, buried 21 December 1731 ; Mary, born 3 August,
baptized 4 September 1732; Elizabeth, born 5, baptized 27 October 1734; Anne,
born 11, baptized 19 June 1737 ; children of the Rev. Mr Nathaniel Michael Chevallier,
curate of this parish, and Elizabeth, his wife. Elizabeth, wife of the Rev. Nathaniel
Michael Chevallier was buried 10 October 1737 (Mr Justin Simpson), The father
was a member of the College (see P. 31 no. 13). John Chevallier took his degree
as third Junior Optime in the Mathematical Tripos of 175f . He was ordained
568 APPEXDIX.
Deacon 23 May 1752 by the Bishop of Peterborough, and Priest 10 February 1753
by the Bishop of Chester, at Cambridge. He was admitted a Fellow of the College
2 April 1754. He served the office of Junior Dean in the College from 5 April 1759
to 22 February 1760, and again from 7 March 1761 to 27 February 1768. He
became one of the Tutors of the College. He was elected Master of the College
1 February 1775 on the death of Dr Powell. The election was hotly contested :
Three men were voted for, Chevallier, Richard Beadon (P. 142 no. 16), and Samuel
Ogden (P. 84 no. 1). Cole in his collections (MSS. Cole xxi, Brit. Mus. Addl.
MSS. 5822, fol. 28b) has preserved a list given to him by Isaac Pennington (P. 163
no. 2), recording the vote of each Fellow. At the first scrutiny Chevallier had 21,
Beadon 17, and Ogden 3 votes. Ogden's supporters then voted for Beadon, au«l
Chevallier got in by one vote. According to Cole, this one vote was that of William
Williams (P. 168 no. 24) "who came post out of Wales the night before the election."
Lord North and Lord Sandwich, with Cornwallis, Archbishop of Canterbury;
Terrick, Bishop of London ; Thomas, Bishop of Winchester, and Keene, Bishop of
Ely, all supported Beadon. The College seem to have wanted Arnald (P. 162
no. 24), but he was considered too young. Dr Chevallier after his election to the
Mastership served the office of Vice- Chancellor 1776-1777. He married 5 March
1778 Mrs Bowyer, of Willoughby, Lincolnshire (Gentleman's Magazine, 1778,
p. 141a). He died 7 March 1789 (ihid. 1789, i, 279 b). The Parish Register of
All Saints, Cambridge, has the following entry : " 1789, March 14, The Rev. Dr
Chevallier, Buried in St John's College Chapel." The place of his grave is marked
by a flat stone on the site of the old Chapel, with the following inscription : " Joh.
Chevallier, S.T.P., | Magister Collegii, | Electus Feb. 1, 1775, | Obiit Mart. 14,
1789, I Anno Aetatis 69." It will be observed that the date of his death as given in
the inscription is really that of his burial. Chevallier's reign as Master was
uneventful and little is known of him. Cole's account of him will be found printed
at length in Mayor-Baker, History of St John's College, ii, 1079-1082. See also
Gunning, Reminiscences of Cambridge (ed. 1854), i, 202-4.
P. 122 no. 28. See the admission of his father (Part ii, P. 177 no. 2). Francis
Gunning was admitted a Piatt Fellow of the College 10 April 1753. He was
ordained Deacon 17 June 1753, and Priest 9 June 1754, by the Bishop of Lincoln.
He was instituted Vicar of Hawkeston, or Hauxton, w. Newton, 18 July 1754, and
Vicar of Thriplow 2 October 1759, both benefices being in Cambridgeshire. He
held both until his death on Friday, 7 November 1788 {Cambridge Chronicle,
18 November 1788). He was the father of Henry Gunning, of Christ's College,
B.A. 1788, the Esquire Bedell, author of the Reminiscences of Cambridge (see vol. i,
1, 111, 112). His third son, Francis Gunning, died at Ely on Tuesday, 5 March
1793, aet. 18 (Cambridge Chronicle, 9 March 1793). His widow died at Cambridge
15 January 1811, aged 76 (ibid. 25 January 1811).
P. 122 no. 29. Arthur William Hood was ordained Priest by the Bishop of
London 28 February 1755. He was instituted Rector of Butleigh, Somerset,
13 April 1761, on the presentation of James Grenville, esq., and appointed to
the Prebend of Holcombe, in Wells Cathedral, 14 September 1763. Both pieces of
preferment were vacant in 1770 (Hardy's Le Neve, i, 194).
P. 123 no. 30. William Tomlins, son of John Tomlius, of Wilts., plebeius,
matriculated at Oxford from St Mary Hall, 2 March 173^, aged 22. He took the
B.A. degree at Oxford 12 March 173| (Foster, Alumni Ozonienses). In the printed
Graduati Cantabrigienses he appears as M.A. of King's College in 1747. He was
ordained Deacon 20 December 1741, and Pi'iest 23 December 1744, by the Bishop of
Winchester. He was instituted Rector of Collingbourne Ducis or St Andrew, Wilts.
1 May 1756, on the presentation of Thomas, Lord Bruce, and Rector of Upham with
the Chapel of Durley, Hants., 23 September 1756. On 20 September 1756, when he
is described as chaplain to Thomas, Lord Bruce, he received a dispensation from
the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Collingbourne (valued at £300) with Upham
(valued at £200), the two livings being stated to be 25 miles apart. He is then
described as M.A. of St John's College, Cambridge. He held both livings until his
death in 1788.
P. 123 no. 31. William Graham did not graduate. He was ordained Priest by
the Bishop of London 22 September 1754, having letters dimissory from the Bishop
of Winchester. He is then described as "late of St John's College, Cambridge."

One of these names was instituted Rector of Stapleton, co. Camberland, 17 July
1771, holding the living until 1796.
P. 123 no. 32. John Russell took the degree of LL.B. in 1735. He was ordained
Deacon by the Bishop of London 21 September 1755, and Priest 29 September 1756
by the Bishop of Rochester, in both cases with letters dimissory from the Bishop
of Winchester. One of these names was instituted Vicar of Leysdown in the Isle
of Sheppey, Kent, 25 March 1756, ceding this on his institution to the Vicarage
of Detling, Kent, 6 February 1757 ; he held this latter living until 1764.
P. 123 no. 1. John Symonds, the elder, was a member of the College (Part ii,
P. 207 no. 7). John Symonds, the younger, was admitted a student of the Middle
Temple 4 May 1747, and called to the Bar 2 July 1756. He became a Fellow of Peter-
house in 1753. HewasappointedRecorder of BurySt Edmunds (Cambridge Chronicle,
22 February 1772). He was Professor of Modem History at Cambridge from 1771
until his death. He proposed a set of rules which were accepted by the Heads in
1772, Inter alia Symonds arranged that the fees of Noblemen, Fellow Commoners
and their attendant Private Tutors, should be devoted to remunerating the Lan-
guage-Masters and buying books, maps, &c. He collected near 1000 volumes, each
whereof was stamped Scholae Historicae Cantabrigiensis Liber. His course was to
lecture (1) on Rules for the study of History, enumeration of poitits for subsequent
discussion, and of textbooks. (2) Causes of the Fall of Rome. (3) States of
Commerce, Literature, Civil Government, Feudal System. (4) Christianity,
centuries i — xv. These topics occupied a good many lectures, wherein the history
of England, France, Spain, Germany, and Italy was discussed, with allusions
occasionally to the Eastern Empire, the Greek and Saracen, and in later times,
to Turkey. He made a great point of reprobating Intolerance in Religion and in
Civil Government, whatever form that Government might bear. The matter and
number of the lectures have been altered almost every year, the Professor sometimes
omitting two or three entirely, which had been given before, in order to introduce
new circumstances, which either study or reflection for the last ten years had
unhappily afforded (Cambridge Unii'ersity Calendar, 1802, pp. 27-29 ; Wordsworth,
Scholae Academicae, 150-1). He published : Remarks upon an Essay intituled The
History of the Colonization of the Free States of Antiquity, applied to the present
contest beticeen Gr.eat Britain and her American Colonies, 4to. (Reviewed in Gentle-
man's Magazine, 1778, p. 421 a) ; Observations upon the Expediency of revising the
present English version of the Four Gospels and of the Acts of the Apostles, 4to.,
1789 ; Obsenations respecting the Epistles in the Neic Testament, 1794. The first
of these ' Observations ' was answered by an anonymous pamphlet entitled An
Apology for the Liturgy of the Church of England, said to be the joint production
of two Bishops ; prefixed to the last of the ' Observations ' was a rejoinder by
Dr Symonds. He died 18 and was buried 26 February 1807. The Gentleman's
Magazine for 1807, p. 281, in announcing his death adds: "He was a gentleman
highly distinguished for his literary attainments ; and his loss will be much
regretted by many surviving friends, but by none more than the Duke of Grafton
and family, with whom he had long been in habits of intimacy." H^ is buried in
Pakenham Church, Suffolk, where there is a monument to his memory with this
inscription : " Underneath this Chancel | are interred the remains of | John
Symonds, of St Edmund's Hill, Esq""., LL.D., | Barrister at Law, Professor of
Modern History in the University | of Cambridge, | and Recorder of the Borough

His successor there was instituted in June 1787.
P. 123 no. 3. William Smith became an actor of some celebrity in his day.
He died at Bury St Edmunds 13 September 1819, aged 88. The Gentleman's
Magazine for 1819, Part ii, p. 375, gives the following account of him :
"Mr Smith from the propriety of his conduct, his mental accomplishments, and
the superior grace and elegance of his manners and appearance, was designated by
his acquaintances Gentleman Smith. He was the son of a wholesale grocer and
tea-dealer in the City. He was born about the year 1730 or 1731 ; and, after an
education at Eton School, was sent to St John's College, Cambridge, with the view
of afterwards entering into Holy Orders. At the University, Mr Smith's conduct
did not please his superiors ; and his finances having been deranged after the death
of his father, at length induced him to abandon the prospect of college advance-
ment. On his return to town he determined to make the stage his profession, and
was introduced by Mr Howard, at that time an eminent surgeon, to Mr Rich, the
then proprietor of Covent Garden Theatre. At this time Mr Barry and the cele-
brated Mrs Cibber were the principal performers, and young Smith became a pupil
to the veteran Barry. He made his first appearance on the stage, 1 January 1753,
in the character of Theodosius, in the tragedy of " The Force of Love " ; his success
was everything that he could wish ; and he continued to play a wide range of
principal parts, for twenty-two years at Covent Garden, with annually increased
reputation. In the winter of 1774 he entered into an engagement with Mr Garrick,
and continued the remainder of his theatrical life at Drury Lane, at the head of
the company, which terminated at the end of the season 1788 ; when having
married a lady of fortune, nearly related to a noble family, he took leave of the
Publick, to the great regret of the admirers of the Drama, in the character of
Charles, in " The School for Scandal " ; in which part he again appeared ten years
after for the benefit of his friend King, and attracted an overflowing audience.
Notwithstanding his long absence from the stage, and having grown very lusty, he
went through the character with that spirit, ease and elegance for which he was
unequalled. Mr Smith was on the stage 35 years ; during which long period he
was never absent from the Metropolis one season, nor ever performed out of London,
except for one summer at Bristol, after the death of Mr Holland, and again in the
summer of 1774, when he went to Dublin. His Kiteltj, in the comedy of "Every
Man in his Humour," was said to be superior to that of the British Roscius. His
voice had a kind of monotony, but was rich and full ; and his action, though not
always perfect, was ever easy. In person, Mr Smith was rather tall, and perfectly
well formed ; his face handsome but not capable of strong expression. As au actor,
his Richard, Hastings and Hotspur, in Tragedy ; and his Kitehj, Oakley and Charles
Surface in Comedy, were his principal characters, in which he was rarely excelled.
He naturally prided himself in the reflection that he was never called upon to
perform in an afterpiece, or required to pass through a trap-door in any entrance
or exit on the stage. His chief diversion was foxhunting; which sometimes, in
his early days, detached him too much from his professional studies, and called
forth from Churchill, in the Rosciad, this couplet —
".Smith, the genteel, the airy and the smart;
Smith was just gone to School to say his part."
" The lady Mr Smith married was Elizabeth, second daughter of Edward Richard,
Viscount Hinchinbrook (the eldest son of Edward, third Earl of Sandwich), and
widow of Kelland Courtenay, esq., second son of Sir William Courtenay, of Powder-
ham Castle, Devonshire, bart. She died 13 December 1762, and was interred in
the church of Leiston, Suffolk. Mr Smith was a legatee under the will of the late
eccentric Lord Chedworth, who bequeathed to him £200, a sum which is said to
have greatly disappointed his expectations, having fondly imagined that his lord- •
ship would have left him considerably more.
" The following tribute to his memory is from the Muse of John Taylor, esq.
Here Smith now rests, who acted well his part,
Mere human errors mark'd his life and art;
Yet were his merits of no common kind.
For Nature had adorn'd his form and mind.
APPENDIX. • 571
Oxford of learning, gave an ample store,
Genius, Expei-ience, Judgment, taught him more;
And, e'en when Garrick charm'd a wond'ring age,
Smith threw a lustre o'er the rival stage ;
Conspicuous for the skill he then display'd,
Or with the tragic, or the comic maid.
At length, when Summer veil'd her radiant fire,
Reflecting Autumn taught him to retire;
Yet propp'd by Health he scarcely felt decay,
And Winter cheer'd him with the glow of May.
Time kept aloof, as if inclin'd to spare
A work that Nature form'd with partial care;
And when resolv'd no longer to delay.
He gently wafted lingering life away.
His mournful widow plac'd this Tablet here,
And paid the tribute of a silent tear.
Sooth'd by the hope, when her brief scene is o'er.
To meet in purer realms to part no more."
Smith's will was proved in the Prerogative Court at Doctors' Commons. His
property real and personal was sworn under £18,000 {ibid. p. 365). In the same
volume at p. 490 appears a letter dated 9 November [1819], signed W. P., as
follows :
"The account in last Month's Magazine of Mr Smith who had so long ornamented
our Stage, admits of large additions. I beg to add a few: Mr Smith, among other
excellencies, possessed in an uncommon degree, the power of conveying the language
of the old comedies so as to make it seem familiar to the ear. He was very little
short of his great master Garrick in this pecuUarity of the art. I say his master,
for Ixe constantly professed that, from the commencement of his theatrical career,
he liad made Garrick his model in all the characters of Shakespeare, Beaumont and
Fletcher, and Johnson. In a letter of Mr Smith's, which a short time ago fell under
my notice, his expressions were, " I derive gratification from the recollection of the
scenes in which I have witnessed Garrick triumphing in his art, and baffling all
competition : It is my pride to have lived in his time. " Many like declai-ations of
his high admiration of Garrick I am conscious will be found in other of his letters :
and as Mr Smith was a very elegant scholar, I entertain a hope that I may fre-
quently see your pages favoured with some of his letters touching the Stage.
"An allusion has been made to the Dramas of the days of Elizabeth. In all
these in which Mr Smith had a character to sustain, every scene of interest was
wrought up to a natural and powerful effect : he had neither finesse nor trick — the
impression was the resiilt of genuine feeling and clear sense, and he awakened in
the audience a portion of intelligence, by which their attention became fixed to
every expression that fell from his lips. Among Shakspeare's characters. Hotspur,
Falconbridge, and Edgar were exquisite performances. In Henry the Fifth, his
fine declamation realized the hero of our history and placed him before us. And it
may with truth be asserted, that his acting in these characters has not been equalled
by any attempts since.
" The Writer of these remarks would feel himself warranted, by good authorities,
were he to apply the preceding observation to a variety of other characters personified
by Mr Smith in the ranges of the Drama ; and he cannot omit mentioning that in
the year 1768 (to the best of his recollection), he saw him play Hamlet for the first
time ; it was a fine performance, and highly applauded.
" Garrick, who witnessed it, sent his commendations by a friend when the curtain
dropped. The week ensuing, Powell, at the same theatre, played the same character,
he having become a short time before a joint proprietor with Messrs Harris, Colman
and others. Powell never appeared without fascinating ; but the prevailing remark
was, that he had played Hamlet, and Smith Prince Hamlet.
" The following circumstances, connected with Mr Smith's act of friendship to
Mr King, by reappearing, ten years after his retirement, for that Actor's benefit,
have not been noticed, nor are they wholly known. The Prince Regent, who had
in his earliest days distinguished Mr Smith, attended with a party, and gave the
return of his favourite performer the marking welcome of an applauding hand.
Save a momentary agitation created by the cheering thunder of approbation when
37—2
572 APPENDIX.
he came forward, the character of Charles was never exhibited in higher spirit and
colouring, than on this occasion, to the moment when the curtain fell.
" It is remarkable that after this performance of the " School for Scandal," three
of its original supporters withdrew from the public eye for ever : viz. Messrs Smith,
Palmer and King ; but there arose a few days after the performance a probability
that they would all appear again in the following season. Mr Smith with his
accustomed generosity of feeling, hinted to King that he "was sensible, from the
appearance of Palmer, that some distress lay heavy at his heart." "He has not
been more careful of his purse," answered King, "than I have." "Not a word
more," (replied Mr Smith) "if I continue strong, and you will co-operate. Palmer
shall be assisted." — Poor Palmer departed for Livei'pool, and dying there suddenly,
the design Mr Smith had formed of again appearing in the " School for Scandal,"
with Mr King, for his benefit was relinquished. " — Some further details with regard
to William Smith are given in I'he Lives of Eminent and Remarkable Characters,
Born or Long Resident in the Counties of Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk (1820). It is
there stated that: "Young Smith, while at Eton, distinguished himself by his
vivacity and spirit, and carrying with him to the University the same levity of
disposition, he was soon led into the irregularities which frustrated all the views
his father had contemplated in his education. Having one evening drunk too freely
with some associates of kindred minds, and being imrsued by the Proctor, he had
the imprudence to snap an unloaded pistol at him. For this offence he was
doomed to a punishment to which he would not submit ; and in order to avoid
expulsion, immediately quitted college... Mr Smith's mode of acting had many
peculiarities which were considered as defects, but by his frequent appearance, the
audience seemed to forget them, or to regard them as trifles undeserving notice,
when viewed in connexion with the many excellencies which he always displayed.
This favourable disposition towards him was greatly increased by his upright and
independent conduct in private life, which gained for him very general esteem....
His person was tall and well formed, but his features wanted flexibility, for the
expression of the stronger and finer emotions of tragedy, and his voice had a
monotony and harshness, which took much from the effect of his finest perform-
ances After the death of his first wife, he married Miss Newson, of Leiston in
Suffolk, who survived him. His portrait is prefixed to this notice." A mezzotint
portrait of him (half-length, with curtain behind) by Ward, after Jackson, was
published in 1820.
P. 123 no. 4. Michael Bacon was admitted a Fellow of the College 2 April 1754 ;
his Fellowship was filled up again 30 Marcli 1773. He was ordained Deacon
22 December 1752, and Priest 9 June 1754, by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was
instituted Vicar of Wakefield, Yorks., 17 October 1764. He was elected a Governor
of Wakefield Grammar School, 31 December 1764, holding oftice until his death
(Peacock, History of Wakefield Grammar School, 102). He was instituted Kector
of Eyther, Yorks., 9 May 1772, and held this with Wakefield until his death
19 August 1805 ; he was buried in Wakefield Church 26 August. On a south
pillar within the altar rails of Wakefield Church is a tablet with this inscription :
" In memory of the Eevd. Michael Bacon, D.D. Forty years Vicar of this Church.
He died 19 August 1805, aged 76 years. Also in memory of Grace Bacon, widow
of the Eev. Michael Bacon, D.D., she died on the 14th day of September 1827,
in the 79th year of her age " (Walker, The Cathedral Church of Wakefield,
212-3, 309).
P. 123 no. 7. Henry Ellis, the father, a brewer of Wapping, was of the ancient
family of Ellis, of Kiddall in Yorkshire. He was baptized at All Hallows', Steyning,
28 May 1705. He married Mary, daughter and heiress of Solomon Harvey, of
Eastry, Kent, and dying 8 August 1773 was buried in All Hallows' Church (The
Genealogist, N. S., xiv, 109, where there is a pedigree). William Ellis, his only
son, was born 19 May 1730, and admitted to Merchant Taylors' School in 1740
(Robinson, Register of Merchant Taylors' School, ii, 95). He was admitted a Fellow
of the College 10 April 1753, vacating it on his marriage in 1760 (Ashby's MS.
in the College Library). He was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of Ely 18 March
1753 "at his propriety to a Fellowship in St John's College at the ensuing election,"
and Priest by the Bishop of Chester, at St Margaret's, Westminster, 17 November
1754. He was Eector of All Hallows', Steyning, in the City of London, a donative
in the gift of the Grocers' Company, from 1758 until his death in 1801 (Hen-
APPENDIX, 573
nessy, Novum Repertorium, 85). On 12 April 1757 he was nominated by the
College with William Craven, M.A. and Thomas Thompson, B.A. to the Brewers'
Company, to select a Master for Aldenham School. The nomination was rejected
as void (presumably because Thompson was only a B.A.), but Ellis attended the
Court in order to be examined and was elected Master and Custos. The minute
books of the Brewers' Company contain an entry that " the new Master intends
to teach Latin Grammar" (Gibbs, Parish Registers of Aldenhavi, 178). On
11 December 1768, the Clerk of the Brewers' Company informed the College
that Mr William Ellis was to resign at Lady Day next. In 1775 he became
Master of the Grammar School at Alford in Lincolnshire, the school record
there being : " William Ellis was elected in 1775, and on the footing which
the determination of 1761 had placed his predecessor as to salary ; and such re-
spectable testimonies in his favour were received that Mr Ellis was chosen without
being even asked to sign any written obligations for the performance of the duties
attached to the situation he succeeded to " (Information supplied by the Rev. A.
G. K. Simpson, Vicar of Alford). He is believed to have neglected his duties at
Alford, and much stricter rules were drawn up for his successor (Carlisle, Endowed
Grammar ScJiools, i, 785-6). The Parish Register of Alford contains the following
entry among the burials : " 1801, November 29, Eev. Mr William Ellis, Master of
the Free Grammar School." And also the following entries with regard to members
of his family : (i) Baptized 1779, August 5, Sarah, daughter of the Rev. William
Ellis and Sarah; (ii) Married, 1801, April 9, Marie Joseph Carr^ De la Serrie, of
St George's, Southwark, and Maria Ellis, of Alford, spinster, by Licence (W. S.
ElUs, Notices of the Ellises, 4th Supplement, 154). He left an only son,
Sir William Charles Ellis, M.D., born at Alford 10 March 1780, knighted by
King William IV, of whom an account is given in Our Doctor, or Memorials
of Sir William Charles Ellis, M.D., London, Seeley, Jackson and Halliday (no
date, or author's name ; probably 1868 ; written by Harriet Warner Ellis, wife
of William Robert Ellis, of Jesus College, Cambridge, and the Inner Temple, and
daughter-in-law of Sir W. C. Ellis). In this, at p. 3, there are some references to
the Rev. William Ellis : " The subject of the memoir was the eldest son of the
Rev. William Ellis, rector of All Hallows', Steyning, in the city of London, a man
of high litei-ary attainments, and known as the author of Aristotle's Treatise on
Government and more widely as the writer of Ellis's Latin Exercises. He was the
personal friend of Sir William Jones, Edmund Burke and other literati of his
day. ...On his father's death, when William [i.e. WilUam Charles] was only twenty
years of age, it was found that he [i.e. the Rev. William Elhs] had spent nearly the
whole of his small patrimony. He had also cut off the entail to the estates, which
would otherwise have descended to his eldest son. As the result of such im-
prudence, his family, consisting besides William of his widowed mother and a
younger son and daughter, were left with scarcely any provision for the future."
The Rev. William Ellis was the author of the following works (Nichols^ Literary
Anecdotes, v, 894) : (i) A Summary of the Roman Laws, taken from Dr I'aylor^s
Elements of the Civil Law; to uhich is added a dissertation on obligation, London, 1772,
6vo. ; (ii) A Treatise on Government, from the Greek of Aristotle, 1779, 4to. ; to the
cost of this the College subscribed passing the following order : 12 February 1773,
"Agreed to subscribe to Mr Ellis' translation of a part of Aristotle, and to send
10 guineas for our subscription instead of 2 " ; (iii) A collection of English Exercises
translated from the writings of Cicero only, for schoolboys to retranslate into Latin;
and adapted to the principal rules in the Compendium of Erasmus' Syntax, London,
1782, 12mo. ; this work had a very great success, and ran through many editions ;
the 22nd edition, by T. Kerchever Arnold, was published in 1855 ; (iv) A translation
of Cicero's Dialogue on Friendship, adapted to the Exercise Book, Loudon, 1782.
He had also in 1781 an intention of preparing for the press the Public Orations of
Demosthenes, in Greek, with useful explanatory notes in English, together with
a Greek and English Lexicon, in the manner of Henry Stephen's Greek Thesaurus,
and full as copious. The Rev. William Ellis was twice married : first to a daughter
of Theophilus Cibber, the actor, and niece of Thomas Augustine Ame, the English
musician and composer ; secondly to Sarah Francis, of Great Yarmouth. (Mr. A. S.
Ellis, of The Sanctuary, Westminster, has supplied several of the above references).
P. 123 no. 8. Although this person's name is written Barber quite distinctly in
the College Register, there is no doubt that it should be Baber. There is no John
Barber, of St John's College, Oxford, in Foster's Alumni Oxonienses, but John Baber,
574 APPENDIX.
son of Thomas Baber, of Sunninghill, Berks., esquire, matriculated at Oxford from
St John's College, 6 February 173f , aged 20, and took the B.A. degree at Oxford in
1739. John Baber, of St John's College, B.A. of St John's College, Oxford, was
admitted to the M.A. degree at Cambridge, 2 December 1747. John Baber appears
in the printed Graduati Gantabrigienses as A.M. 1740, but this is a misjDrint.
John Baber was ordained Deacon 1 June 1740 by the Bishop of Bangor, and Priest
6 March 174f by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was instituted Kector of Little Chester-
ford 9 March and Vicar of Great Chesterford 22 March 174|, both in Essex. On
12 March 174|, when he is described as Chaplain to Edward Stawell, Baron Stawell
of Somerton, he received a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold
Little Chesterford (valued at £80) with Great Chesterford (valued at £40), the two
benefices being one mile apart. He was instituted Vicar of Little Chishall, Essex,

Salop, and ceding this again on his institution 31 December 1760 to the Eectory of
North with South Lopham, Norfolk, on the presentation of Sir Eowland Hill, bart.
He held this latter living until his death in 1782.
P. 124 no. 10. This is probably the John Clements, son of John Clements, of
St Swithin's, co. Worcester, who matriculated at Oxford from St Mary Hall
3 November 1726, aged 17 (Foster, Alumni Oxonienses). He took the M.A. degree
at Cambridge from St John's, in 1748. He was ordained Deacon 4 June 1732,
and Priest 20 May 1733, by the Bishop of Worcester. He was instituted Vicar
of Colwich, Staffordshu-e, in January 173|, and Eector of Long Whatton, co.

chaplain to John, Earl of Breadalbane, he received a dispensation from the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury to hold Colwich with Long Whatton, their values being stated
to be £40 and £120 and their distance apart 26 miles. He was instituted Eector
of Appleby, co. Leicester, 24 April 1777. He resigned Long Whatton in 1786, but
held Appleby (and perhaps Colwich) until his death. He became an F.S.A. in
1782. He died at Worcester in 1793 (Nichols, History of Leicestershire, iii, 1107;
Gentleman's Magazine, 1793, p. 481).
P. 124 no. 11. Eeginald Bean, the elder, was a member of the College (see his
admission Part il, P. 165 no. 13) ; he was instituted Eector of North Perrott,
CO. Somerset, 13 August 1709. Eeginald Beau, the younger, took the LL.B.
degree in 1754. He was for some time incumbent of Stoke-sub-Hamden, co.
Somerset. His widow died at Stoke 18 October 1806, aged 70 {Gentleman's
Magazine, 1806, ii, 1079).

of the 56th Eegiment. He was married twice ; his second wife was Louisa Martha,
daughter of Francis Fatio, of St Augustine, Florida, descended from the Fazios of
Pisa (Hunter, Familiae Minorinn Gentium, Harleian Soc. Publ. xxxviii, 470 ;
Burke's Landed Gentry, Hallowes of Glapwell Hall).

Fobbing, Essex, 9 March 1761 ; this he held until his death on 4 July 1800, aged 72.
By his own particular desire he was buried in the churchyard of South Mimms,
where a flat stone with a short inscription covers his remains {Gentleman's
Magazine, 1801, ii, 956). The Gentleman's Magazine for 1793, p. 89, has the
following: "Married 12 June 1793, John Leeson, esq., nephew to the Earl of
Milltown, to Miss Eyley, only daughter of the Eev. John Eyley, of Suffolk Street,
Cavendish Square."

P. 124 no. 16. Robert Vanbrugh was ordained Priest by the Archbishop of
Canterbury 23 September 1752. He appears to have become Master of Dent School,
holding that office when, in 1762, he was appointed Assistant Master at Harrow
(Christian's Magazine, iii, 192). He then seems to have become Headmaster of
the King's School, Chester, for he was holding that office when, on 6 April 1776, he
was instituted Rector of Bucklaud, co. Gloucester, on the presentation of Viscount
Weymouth (Cambridge Chronicle, 20 April 1776). He held the Rectory until his
death in 1784 at Hartford near Huntingdon, being then described as " Rector of

P. 126 no. 24. This Edward Parker is no doubt the Mr Parker referred to in
the following extract from Bedell Hubbard's Journal (MS. Cole, Brit. Mus. Addl.
MSS. 5852).
" 1749, June 9. At a Court held by Dr Chapman, Vice-Chancellor, with his
Assessors, Thomas, Lord Bishop of Ely, Master of Caius, Dr Newcome, Master of
St John's, Dr Wilcox, Master of Clare Hall, Dr Long, Master of Pembroke,
Dr Richardson, Master of Emmanuel, Dr Smith, Master of Trinity College,
Dr Rooke, Master of Christ's, Dr Parris, Master of Sidney, Dr Prescott, Master
of St Catharine, Dr Keene, Master of Peterhouse ; Mr Amcott, Fellow Commoner
of Trinity Hall, declared perpetually expelled, he having taken out his name the
day before. Mr Parker, of St John's College, perpetually expelled. Bullock,
pensioner of St John's, Mr Vincent, Fellow Commoner of Trinity College,
576 APPENDIX.
Mr Douglas, Fellow Commoner of Trinity College, rusticated for 2 years, for
being at the Turn till 4 o'clock on Sunday morning June 4, and then going to
the Market Cross and in a riotous manner eating Lobsters, and drinking a Bottle
of Wine there. The four who appeared in Court confessed the fact ; the three who
were rusticated had the testimony of their respective Tutors, that they had behaved
well before. As to Parker, Mr Powell owned that he had been guilty of some
irregularity before, but that he believed him to be good-natured, that he meant no
harm, and being young was seduced by others. N.B. He was well known to have
been concerned in all or most of the schemes of the Bucks, from the time of his
coming to the University. The Vice-Chancellor when he passed sentence, declared,
that it was the opinion of himself and all his Assessors, that Trinity Hall, by
suffering Mr Amcott's name to be taken out, when they knew a Process was issued
out against him, was guilty of an irregular Act."
Cole adds the note : "I think this was for drinking the Pretender's Health at
the Market Cross."
Mr Edward Parker died at his Yorkshire seat, Browsholm, 22 December 1794,
in the 64th year of his age {Gentleman's Magazine, 1795, i, 82, where he is stated to
have entered as a ' gentleman ' commoner of St John's College). He married
Barbara, one of the daughters and co-heiresses of Sir Michael le Fleming, hart., of
Ryedale, Westmorland. His only child, John Parker, was a fellow commoner of
Christ's College and of Eton College, and sometime M.P. for Clitheroe. Mr Edward
Parker was lord of the manor of Ingleton, bow-bearer of the Forest of Bowland (or
Bolland) and patron of the churches of Bentham, Ingleton, Chapel-le-Dale, and
Waddington. He was buried in the family vault in Waddington church.
P. 125 no. 25. Edward Clarke was the son of W^illiam Clarke, Rector of
Buxted, Sussex, a former Fellow of the College (Part ii, P. 204 no. 38) ; his
mother was Anne, daughter of the celebrated Dr William Wotton. He was ad-
mitted a Fellow of the College 10 April 1753, and his fellowship was vacated by

27 December 1771, ceding this on being collated to the Prebend of Hova Ecclesia
in the same cathedral 5 November 1772, this he held until his death.
In 1760 he went as chaplain with George William, Earl of Bristol, Ambassador
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Madrid, where he resided two years,
afterwards publishing the result of his researches into the state of Spain. On
returning from Spain he married, 23 May 1763, Anne, daughter of Thomas Gren-
field, of Guildford, Surrey. Shortly afterwards, in the same year, he accompanied
General James Johnstone to Minorca, of which island that ofhcer had been appointed
Lieutenant-Governor, as chaplain and secretary ; on his return he published a tract
defending that Governor against some attacks. He returned to England in 1768,
and after that time resided chiefly at Buxted engaged in literary pursuits. His
first published work was a copy in Greek hexameters in the Cambridge collection
Luctus Academiae Cantahrigiensis, 1751. He published separately : (i) A letter to
a friend in Italy, and Verses on reading Montfaucon, 1755; (ii) A thanksgiving

with William Bowyer he projected an improvement on Faber's Latin Dictionary ;
one sheet of this was published, and the scheme dropped for want of support. In
1778 he issued "Proposals for printing by subscription, price two guineas, an
edition, in folio, of the New Testament in Greek with notes," but this scheme was
also dropped. He seems to have taken a few private pupils, and he wrote Latin
epitaphs on his father, Dr Markland, Dr John Taylor, and William Bowyer. He
died 24 November 1786 and was buried in the chancel of Buxted church, where
there is a monument to his memory and that of his wife with the following
inscriptions: "Hie conditur | prope reliquias avi sui celeberrimi G. Wotton, D.D. |

Edward Clarke left one daughter and three sons. The daughter, Anne, married
Captain Parkinson, R.N., one of Lord Nelson's men who was present at the Battle
of the Nile. Of the sons, (1) James Stanier Clarke, born in Minorca, admitted to
St John's 19 June 1784, aet. 17, was LL.B. of Jesus College 1805. He was a

Clarke, of Jesus College, B.A. 1790, and Tutor of that College, was a great trareller.
He was appointed Professor of Mineralogy in the University 15 December 1808 in
a new chair specially founded on his account ; he was appointed Librarian of the
University in 1817, and held both offices until his death 9 March 1821 ; he is
buried in the chapel of Jesus College. (3) George Clarke, captain R.N., was a
distinguished naval officer. He was accidentally drowned in the Thames 1 October
1805 (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, iv, 382-391; Lower, Worthies of Siissex, 267-274;
Sussex Archaeological Collections, xxvi, 22 ; Dictionary of National Biography).

The letters concerning the Spanish Nation, adds : " He seems to be a very fine
gentleman, violent in his abuse of Popery."
P. 126 no. 26. Theophilus Henry Hastings was instituted Vicar of Belton
8 June 1763, and R«ctor of Osgathorpe 4 July 1764, being again instituted to
Belton next day. He held both these livings, which are in Leicestershire, until
his institution 8 August 1795 to the Rectory of West Leake, Notts., on the
presentation of the Earl of Moira. This he held until his death at West
Leake, 2 April 1804, aged 76 {Gentleman's Magazine, 1804, i, 388 a), He was
at one time chaplain to Lord Howard of Effingham. On the death of Francis,
Earl of Huntingdon, in 1789, this Mr Hastings became the hereditary successor
to the Earldom, which was afterwards claimed by and allowed to the son of
his younger brother. For some years after the Earl's death he assumed the
title of Earl of Huntingdon ; and there is a stone pillar standing in front of
the parsonage-house at Leake, on which there was a plate bearing a Latin in-
scription, stating him to be the eleventh Earl of Huntingdon, godson of Theo-
philus, ninth Earl, and entitled to the Earldom by descent. This plate covered
another Latin inscription, stating that it was erected by Theophilus, the second
Earl of Huntingdon of that name. In his religious principles Mr Hastings was a
zealous supporter of the established faith, and a constant and animated opposer of
the Methodists, by which last application of his talents he incun-ed the severe
displeasure of the Dowager-Countess Sehna, and probably the loss of a great part of
her fortune, which might otherwise have been bequeathed to him or his brother's
family (Nichols, Literanj Illustrations, iv, 740 ; Annual Biography, 1830, pp. 330,

P. 126 no. 45. This is Charles Churchill, the poet and satirist. In most bio-
graphical notices of him he is stated to have been of Trinity College, but though
entered never to have resided. Dr Sinker has examined the Admission Register of
Trinity College, but can find no entry of Charles Churchill the younger. The Trinity
Register, however, has the following entry : " 2 March 172f Admissus est Pension-
arius Carolus Churchill, Mro Holmes Tutore." This is no doubt the father of the
poet, who was admitted on the foundation of Westminster School in 1723 at the age
of 14 and left in 1725 (Welch, Alumni Westmonasterienses, 281). He did not graduate
at Cambridge ; he is most probably the Charles Churchill who was ordained Deacon
24 December 1732, and Priest 19 February 173|, by the Bishop of London, no details
as to College or University being given. On his ordination as Priest he was
appointed Ciarate and Lecturer of St John the Evangelist, Westminster, and was
instituted Vicar of Rainham, near Grays, in Essex, 31 March 1742, holding both
preferments at his death 7 September 1758 {Gentleman''s Magazine, 1758, p. 452 b).
Charles Churchill, his eldest son, is stated to have been born in Vine Street, West-
minster, in February 1731. He entered Westminster School as a day boy at the age
of eight, Dr Nicholls and Dr Pierson Lloyd being first and second masters. He was
admitted on the foundation of Westminster School in 1745 at the age of 13, being
placed at the head of the list (Welch, I.e. 333). As appears from the College
Register he entered St John's in July 1748. He probably resided, though not for
long. The accounts which have been given of his early life are singularly confused.
The most detailed life of Churchill is that of William Tooke, prefixed to an edition
of his works first issued in 1804, and, with additions, in Pickering's Aldine edition of
the British poets in 1844. Tooke claimed to have had access to MSS. relating to
the life and writings of the satirist in the handwriting of the poet's younger brother,
the Rev. William Churchill, but does not seem to have taken much care in verifying
his facts. The edition of 1844 was criticised by John Forster in the Edinburgh
Eeview of January 1845 (reprinted in Forster's Biographical Essays). In this essay
many of Tooke's inaccuracies are severely handled, but while Mr Forster's know-
ledge and literary judgment are undoubted, he did not attempt to verify the state-
ments as to Churchill's early career, adopting as facts most of Tooke's statements.
Immediately after Churchill's death a notice of him appeared in the Annual Register
for 1764 [Characters, pp. 58-62), which is believed to have been written either by
John Wilkes or from materials supplied by him. Dr Andrew Kippis in the Bio-
graphia Britannica, iii, 565-581 has also given a notice of Churchill with facts
stated on his personal knowledge. While at Westminster Churchill is stated to
have been a candidate for a fellowship or studentship at Merton College, Oxford,
and later to have failed in some examination at Oxford, nominally on account of
deficiency in classical knowledge, according to his own reported statement on
APPENDIX. • 581
account of his flippant answers to the questions set to him. There is no corrobora-
tion of these statements, and the early age at which he entered St John's makes
them improbable. Soon after his entry at St John's he married a girl called
Martha Scott, whose father lived in Westminster. The marriage was a ' Fleet ' one
and seems to have taken place about 1749. The elder Churchill received his son
and daughter-in-law into his house for about a year. In 1751 Churchill is said to
have removed to Sunderland with his wife, where he pursued his studies, returning
to London in 1753 to take possession of some small fortune to which he became
entitled in right of his wife. He was ordained Deacon 22 September 1754 by
Edward Willis, Bishop of Bath and Wells, in his Lordship's private chapel at
Wells. He is described in the Bishop's Register as " Charles Churchill now, or
late, of Saint .John's College, in the University of Cambridge." He was licensed
next day to the curacy of South Cadbury and Sparkford in Somerset, and subscribed
on being licensed. He seems to have officiated there for the next two years, the
Rev. 0. T. B. Croft, Rector of South Cadbury, stating that in 1756 Charles Churchill
officiated at marriages, there being three entries in the year 1756 signed by him ;
there are no registers at Sparkford earlier than 1757. He was ordained Priest at
Fulham 19 December 1756 by the Bishop of Rochester, acting for the Bishop of
London, when he is described as " late of St John's College, Cambridge.'' He was
then licensed to be curate to his father at Rainham in Essex. The Rev. T. W. Ward,
Vicar of Rainham, states that the Parish Regixters of Rainham shew that Charles
Churchill signs banns from October 1756 to 17 September 1758 ; that he signs for
baptisms in 1757 and 1758, and for several marriages in 1758. The Register also
contains the following entry : " 20 March 1759, Charlotte, daughter of the Rev.
Charles Churchill and Martha, was baptized." These facts dispose of the story
(repeated in the Annual Register and the Biographia Britannica) that at some
period Churchill had a curacy in Wales with a stipend of £70 a year and that in
order to add to his income he started a ' Cyder Warehouse,' which led to his
bankruptcy. It seems clear that his curacies at South Cadbury and Rainham fill
up the period from 1754 to 1758. Tooke in his life of Churchill gives the years and
dioceses of his ordinations correctly, but can have taken no steps to see how he was
described on these occasions or he must have discovered that Churchill was not of
Trinity College. Tooke also seems to imply that Churchill's ordination without a
degree was unusual. An examination of the ordination lists in these or any other
dioceses, would have shewn that the ordination of ' literates ' was a regular practice
and not an exception.
While curate at Rainham Churchill is stated to have added to his clerical
income by keeping a school, or taking pupils. On the death of his father in 1758
Churchill was elected by the parishioners to succeed as Curate and Lecturer of
St John the Evangelist, Westminster. He then returned to London, settling in
Westminster. He gave lessons in English to the pupils of a Mrs Dennis who had a
boarding-school for girls in Queen's Square, Bloomsbury, and also took private pupils.
This is the dividing line between the early and obscure part of Churchill's life
and his brilliant and brief literary career. The temptations of a town Ufe proved too
strong for Churchill, his method of Uving bore no proportion to his income, and his
wife was as improvident as himself. Thus he fell into debt and was in danger of
imprisonment. At this juncture his former master at Westminster, Dr Pierson
Lloyd, came forward and induced Churchill's creditors to consent to a composition
of five shillings in the pound. Dr Kippis states (Biographia Britannica) that: "In
an instance which fell under the knowledge of the writer of the present article, as
an executor and guardian, Mr Churchill when he had obtained money by his
publications, voluntarily came, and paid the full amount of the original debt. It is
highly probable from this unsolicited and unexpected act of equitable retribution
that his conduct was the same in some other cases." Churchill cast about for some
means of earning money. His schoolfellows, Bonnell Thornton, George Coleman,
and Robert Lloyd, son of his master, were now engaged in literary pursuits. Robert
Lloyd, who had started by being an usher in Westminster School, had deserted his
father's profession and had taken to literature. At the close of 1760 Churchill tried
the publishers with a poem called The Bard in Hudibrastic verse, this was con-
temptuously rejected. A second, entitled The Conclave, a satire aimed at the Dean
and Chapter of Westminster, would have been published had not the legal adviser
of the publisher advised its rejection, lest its appearance should lead to proceedings
for Ubel. Churchill now turned to the stage for a subject ; his friend Lloyd had just
582 APPENDIX.
made a hit with Tlie Actor. After two months' close attendance at the theatres he
produced The Roseiad. It was declined by more than one publisher, though Churchill
asked but five guineas for it. Conscious of his powers he published it at his own
risk, but without his name, in March 1761. It proved an instant success, its
pungency and humour, its vigour, its grasp of character and unsparing criticism at
once taking the public fancy. Universal curiosity as to the identity of the author
was aroused. The writers in the Critical Review (they were great authorities, with
no less a person than Smollett at their head) attributed it to Lloyd and Coleman.
Each of these gentlemen publicly disclaimed the authorship. Churchill issued a
short advertisement stating that he was the author, and announcing that his Apology
addressed to the Critical Reviewers would shortly appear, as it did in April 1761.
His success was now assured. Smollett got David Garrick to let Churchill know
that he was not the writer of the notice of the Roseiad. Garrick, who had been
amused by the criticisms of his brother-actors in the Roseiad now trembled before
the criticisms in the Apology, and let it be known that he was Churchill's admirer.
In two months Churchill is supposed to have cleared £2000 by the sale of these two
poems. He paid off his debts, settled an allowance on his wife, from whom he was now
separated, and helped his brothers and sisters. Whatever good instincts Churchill
had, he wanted balance. He had entered the Church to please his father, it had
given him but a pittance. He had declared war against pretence and hypocrisy in
others and he carried his contempt of them iu his own case to the extreme. He
threw off his clerical dress and appeared in a blue coat with metal buttons, a gold-
laced waistcoat, a gold-laced hat and ruffles. Zachary Pearce, Dean of Westminster,
remonstrated with him, obser-sdng that the frequenting of theatres was unfitting, the
Roseiad indecorous. Churchill made a scoffing reply with regard to the Dean's
editions of the works of classical authors. His parishioners at St John's took the
matter in hand and Churchill resigned his lectureship. He led a dissipated life
and was the subject of fierce imputations. In October 1761 he brought out Night,
an Epistle to Robert Lloyd, as a vindication of his course of life, a defence of what
& later age would call Bohemianism. Shortly afterwards he made the acquaintance
of John Wilkes and worked with him on the North Briton. In January 1763 he
brought out Tiie Prophecy of Famine, a satire on Lord Bute and Scotsmen, one of
the most successful of his writings. He was then probably at the height of his
fame. On the issue of the famous No. 45 of the North Briton it was intended to
arrest Churchill as well as Wilkes. He in fact called on Wilkes while the King's
messengers were in Wilkes' house, but Wilkes had the presence of mind to address
him as Thompson and Churchill withdrawing fled to Wales. At the trial of Wilkes,
Hogarth was present and produced his famous caricature of Wilkes. This stirred
Churchill's indignation and he published the Epistle to William Hogarth in July
1763, a fierce attack on the caricaturist. " It is the most bloody performance that
has been published in my time," was the judgment of David Garrick. Hogarth
lost no time in replying, he issued for a shilling a print entitled : " The Bruiser,
C. ChurchUl (once the Eev. ), iu the character of a Russian Hercules, regaling
himself after having killed the monster Caricatura that so sorely galled his virtuous
friend, the heaven-born Wilkes." Some have ascribed Hogarth's death to vexation
caused by Churchill's attack. In November 1763 he published The Conference, in
which he expresses regret for the seduction by him of a Miss Carr, daughter of a
sculptor, or stone-cutter in Westminster. This was followed by The Duellist, a
poem occasioned by Wilkes' duel with Joseph Martin, which Horace Walpole
thought " the finest and bitterest of his works." The Author and Gotham were
also published in 1764. He returned to personal satire in The Candidate occasioned
by the candidature of Lord Sandwich for the high stewardship of the University of
Cambridge. Lord Sandwich had been foremost in the proceedings against Wilkes
for his Essay on Woman, although his own character was none of the best. The
Fareioell, The Times, and Independence were published in September 1764. A sudden
desire to see Wilkes took Churchill to France. At Boulogne on October 24 he was
seized with fever and died there on November 4. By his will dated 3 November
(proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury 22 November 1764) he left an
annuity of £60 to his wife and of £50 to Elizabeth Carr, whom he had seduced. He
desired his ' dear friend John Wilkes ' to collect and publish his works. His body
was brought over to Dover and buried in the churchyard of St Martin's, the
inscription on his gravestone being : " Here lie the remains | of the celebrated |
C. Churchill. | Life to the last enjoy'd, here Churchill lies (The Candidate)."
APPENDIX. • 583
After his death were published th6 unfiuished Journey and a fragment of a
Dedication to Warburton, the latter being intended for a volume of his sermons.
His sei-mons, which form the fourth volume of his works, published by Flexney in
1774 seem to be without any particular merit. Their authorship is described as
doubtful and Dr Kippis was inclined to attribute them to Churchill's father.
John Wilkes paid absolutely no attention to the wishes of his friend, the details
of Churchill's life and conversation perished with his contemporaries. In 1765 the
Abbe Winckelman presented Wilkes with a sepulchral urn on which Wilkes had
inscribed: "Carolo Churchill ] Amico jucundo | Poetae acri | civi optimo de patria
merito | P i Johannes Wilkes | MDCCLXV " ; and also placed the same inscription
on a Doric pillar in the grounds of Sandham Cottage in the Isle of Wight.
Churchill's children did not succeed, and died in obscurity. Few English poets
enjoyed so much notoriety as Churchill did in his short period of fame, each
of his satires giving rise to numerous pamphlets, poems, and reviews. The severity
of his ci'iticisms did not make his contemporaries anxious to add to his fame. Yet
he had ardent admirers. His schoolfellow Cowper retained and expressed a warm
admiration for his friend, saying: "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." And Byron in his poem ChurchilVs Grave written in 1816
has done much to keep the satirist's name alive. James Hannay says of him in
his introduction to an edition of his works : " There were incidents in his life
which cannot be defended, and which he did not attempt to defend. His passions
were strong and his morals too often loose. But if there was much to blame in
Churchill, there was also a great deal to admire and respect. He was an honest
man, a brave man, and a generous man; and many far inferior characters, with less
excuse from circumstances, have gone through life in the enjoyment of perfectly
respectable reputation s. "
A portrait of Churchill, painted by Schaak, appears as a frontispiece to Tooke's
edition of his poems. There is a portrait of him in Lord Northampton's hospital
at Greenwich representing him with a pen in his hand and before him a letter
addressed to Wilkes in Paris.

his wife John Cam inherited Lyston House, co. Hereford.
P. 127 no. 12. This appears to be the person whose career is here given ; the
weak points of the identification will be pointed out. Thomas Wilson was the
younger son of Thomas Wilson of Kendal, owner of Kentmere manor in Westmor-
land, by Dorothy, eldest daughter of John Fenwick of Nunridding and Langshaw,
Northumberland. He was admitted a student of Lincoln's Inn 22 March 175^ (as
Thomas Wilson, gent., his parentage is not given) and was called to the Bar
26 May 1756. His eldest brother John Wilson took the name and arms of Fenwick
under an Act of Parliament, which passed the House of Commons 28 March 1751,
entitled "An Act to enable John Fenwick, lately called John Wilson, and the heirs
male of his body to take the name and bear the arms of Fenwick only, pursuant
to the wills of. Robert Fenwick and Nicholas Fenwick" (Journal of the House of
Commons, xxvi, 154). On the death of his. elder brother in 1757 Thomas Wilson
took the name of Fenwick and succeeded to the estates of his uncle Robert Fenwick.
APPENDIX. 585
He also succeeded to his father's property at Kentmere. Thomas Fenwick was
elected Kecorder of Kendal in the year 1765-6 ; Myles Hamson succeeded him as
Recorder in the year 1776-7 (C. Nicholson, Annals of Kendal, 290-1). Thomas
Fenwick was returned as M.P. for Westmorland 7 April 1768, sitting until 1774.
He was an unsuccessful candidate in 1774 (Bean, Parliamentary Representation of the
Six Northern Counties of England, 600, 606). He died at Barrow Hall, co. Lancaster,
3 April 1794 {Gentleman's Magazine, 1794, i, 387), and was buried at Tunstall
7 April 1794.
The weak points in the identification of the gentleman whose career is here
given with the member of the College are these. In the pedigree given in Hodgson,
History of Northumberland, Part ii. Vol. 2, p. 76 the name of the father of Thomas
Wilson or Fenwick is given as John. The name is given as Thomas both in Bean
(I.e.) and in R. S. Ferguson's Cumberland and Westmorland M.P.s, p. 352. Even
if the father's name be Thomas, it is not quite certain that Thomas Wilson, the
owner of Kentmere, is identical with the Thomas Wilson, attorney of Kendal, in the
College Register. One Thomas Wilson was Mayor of Kendal 1763-4 (Nicholson,
I.e.). See the admission of an elder brother P. 121 no. 9.
P. 127 no. 13. Henry Harpur was ordained Priest 29 June 1756 by the Bishop
of Rochester. He was instituted the same day to the Vicarage of Tunbridge, Kent,
and held the living until 1791.
P. 127 no. 14. George JoUand entered Manchester School 28 June 1746, when
the father is described as of Scalby (? Scawby) near Brigg in Lincolnshire, gentle-
man (Finch Smith, Manchester School Register, i, 28). He was admitted a Fellow
of the College 2 April 1754. He was ordained Deacon 22 September 1754 by the
Bishop of Lincoln. Ashby in his Common Place Book preserved in the College
Library states that JoUand died in 1760. His fellowship was filled up however in
April 1759.
One George Jolland was instituted Vicar of Norton Bishop, co. Lincoln,
8 November 1758, and it may be that this is the man, his acceptance of the
benefice vacating his fellowship. He seems to have been a half-brother of
Dr William Samuel Powell, Master of the College 1765-75. For some slight
notices of the family see Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, i, 567, 580, &c.
P. 128 no. 15. Matthew Wilson, eldest son of Matthew Wilson of Eshton, co.
York, esquire, was admitted a student of the Inner Temple 12 September 1750, and
was called to the Bar 21 June 1757. He was invited to the Bench of the Inn
28 November 1782 but does not appear to have sat.
Matthew Wilson was born 12 February 17|^, he married 7 July 1759 Frances,
daughter of Richard CUve, of Styche, co. Salop, M.P. for Montgomery in several
Parliaments, and sister to Robert first Lord Clive, Baron of Plassey. Mr Matthew
Wilson died 16 April 1802 and was buried at Gargrave ; his wife died 3 October 1798
(Foster, Yorkshire Pedigrees, West Riding, ii, Wilson of Eshton). See the admission
of a younger brother P. 137 no. 13.
P. 128 no. 16. Thomas Faber was ordained Deacon 17 June 1753 by the Bishop
of London and licensed to the curacy of Great Braxted, Essex. About 1757 he
became Perpetual Curate of Bramley near Leeds, he was instituted Vicar of
Calverly, Yorks., 24 February 1770. He held both these pieces of preferment
until his death 28 November 1821, aged nearly 93 years. At the time of his death
and for some years before he was the oldest living member of the College (Cambridge
Chronicle, 7 December 1821 ; Gentleman's Magazine, 1821, ii, 647 ; Annual Register
for 1821, Chronicle 250). He was the father of the Rev. George Stanley Faber,
Fellow of Lincoln College, Oxford, the well-known writer on prophecy (Foster,
Alumni Oxonienses).
P. 128 no. 17. This gentleman graduated as William Howell Ewin, B.A. 1753,
M.A. 1756, LL.D. 1766. The Parish Register of Holy Sepulchre, Cambridge, has
the following entry : " 173? February 3, William Howell Ewin, the son of Mr
Thomas Ewin and Susanna his wife, baptized." Tbus his age on entry was
18. He seems to have resided in Cambridge, where he carried on the business
of a brewer. He was tried before the Vice-Chancellor's Court in 1778 on a
charge of lending money to William Bird, a scholar of Trinity College, at an
usurious rate of interest, and on Wednesday 21 October 1778 was sentenced to be
suspended ab omni gradu suscepto et suscipiendo and to be expelled the University.
The matter came before the Vice-Chancellor's Court again at the end of November
8. 38
586 APPENDIX.
when the suspension was confirmed but the expulsion repealed. From this Dr Ewin
appealed to the Court of King's Bench for a mandamus to set the decree aside, and
this was granted by Lord Mansfield and the other judges on the ground apparently
that the proceedings of the Court were irregular and that the suspension ought to
have been by Grace of the Senate. Cole (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5868) has these
notes which no doubt arose out of this matter : In the Cambridge Chronicle of
Saturday 20 February 1779 is this Advertisement : Town of Cambridge 8 Febr.
1779. Whereas I Thomas Wetenhall, of the parish of St Sepulchre in the said
Town, in a very indecent and opprobrious manner did grossly abuse and insult
William Howell Ewin of Cambridge aforesaid Doctor of Laws, for which the said
Dr Ewin has justly commenced an action against me ; but hath agreed at my inter-
cession, and for the sake of my family to decline prosecuting the same, upon my
agreeing to make this public acknowledgement of my impudent conduct, and paying
the costs hitherto incurred. Now I the said Thomas Wetenhall do in this public
manner declare. That what I then said of the said Dr Ewin was false and scandalous
and that the language made use of by me was uttered in the heat of passion and
without any foundation of truth ; for which I am heartily sorry and most humbly
ask his pardon and promise never to offend in the like manner again. Witness my
hand, Tho. Wetenhall.
Witness .- T. Eobson,
Clerk to Mr Day,
Attorney for the Plaintiff.
Cole adds the note : "Dr Ewin was restored to his LL.D. degree, of which he had
been degraded about Wednesday Oct. 20, 1779. He came into the Senate House in
his gown. The Vice-Chancellor objected to it, and he pulled it off before he was
reinstated."
(Cole's MSS. Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5808, fol. 7 b to Ub; Cole gives a copy of
Tripos Verses relating to the matter, which were printed at Huntingdon, fol. 218 b,
219 a; see also 228 b, 229 a.) See also Cooper's Atmals of Cambridge, iv, 388, 392.
The case is also referred to in some letters of the Rev. Michael Tyson (Nichols,
Literary Anecdote.^, viii, 633, 634, 647, 648).
The following character of Dr Ewin is given in Nichols' Literary Aiiecdotei^, i,
710. " He was a man of good education and considerable talents; had seen much of
the world, and viewed mankind with keen observation. He had a retentive
memory, and an inexhaustible fund of interesting anecdote, which he frequently
enlivened by original and sarcastic humour. With the Sciences he was imperfectly
acquainted ; but he was much attached to the polite arts, particularly painting and
sculpture, in which he had great taste. His manners were easy, and his temper
cheerful, his disposition communicative, and his knowledge extensive. Being frugal
and economical in his habits, he was generally considered extremely avaricious,
though instances might be adduced in which he displayed the utmost liberality and
generosity. His strict attention to the administration of parochial concerns, quick
to discern and severe to condemn every species of idleness and imposition, created
him many enemies, particularly among the lower orders of the people. He was
supposed to have left property to the amount of more than £100,000, the bulk of
which he divided between his sister and the family of his nejjhew. He died at
Brentford Butts 20 December 1804, and was buried in the chapel of New Brentford ;
where a monument by Flaxman has been erected to his memory and that of his
sister Sarah Howell Ewin, with their names, ages, &c. on a pedestal above."
With this may be compared the account given of him by William Cole (MS.
Cole, iii, 68b, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5804). " My friend Dr Ewin, by being much
of his father's turn, busy and meddling in other people's concerns, got the ill-will of
most persons in the Town and University, where he acted as Justice of the Peace.
The Gownsmen bore him a particular grudge for interfering much in their affairs,
though very justly, for they never were more licentious and debauched. They often
broke the Doctor's windows, as they said he had been caught listening on their
staircases and doors. About Christmas 1771 or January 1772, he was at a Coffee
House near his own house, where some Fellow Commoners who owed him a grudge,
sitting in the next Box to him, in order to affront him, pretended to call their dog
Squintuni, and frequently repeated the name very loudly in the Coffee House, and
in their joviality swore many oaths, and caressed their dog. Dr Ewin, as did his
father, squinted very much ; as did Whitefield the Methodist Teacher, who was
vulgarly called Dr Squintum from that blemish in his eyes. Dr Ewin was sufficiently
APPENDIX. 587
mortified to be so affronted iu public : however he carefully marked down the number
of oaths sworn by these gentlemen, whom he made to pay severally the penalty of
five shillings each oath, which amounted to a good round sum. The next week was
publicly hawked about the streets of Cambridge the following Ballad, printed on
Ballad paper and sung by Ballad Singers, and given away to anyone who would
receive them.
A Parody
of an old song.
Of all the •blockheads in the Town
That strut and bully up and down
And bring complaints against the Gown
There's none like Dr Squintum.
With gimlet eyes and dapper wig
This Justice thinks he looks so big
A most infernal stupid gig
Is this same Dr Squintum.
What Pedlar can forbear to grin
Before his Worship that has been
To think what folly lurks within
This Just-Ass Dr Squintum.
The Boys i' the street him hiss and hoot
No name so vile that will not suit
This strong resemblance of a Brute
The busy Dr Squintum.
The Gownsmen say this Doctor sage
Is quite a scandal to the Age
Which greatly puts into a rage
The silly Dr Squintum.
He vents his passion — Blood and Wounds
I never saw such pert buffoons
But soon I'll make them change their tunes
Thus bilious Dr Squintum.
With Law I'll pester every man
And must pursue my noble plan
To do whatever harm I can
Thus blubbers Dr Squintum.
We all indulge Dame Nature's bent
On doing harm my mind's intent
And damn my soul I'll give it vent
Sic dixit Dr Squintum.
He raves, he swears, he knows not why
He thinks himself amazing sly
And makes no bones to tell a lye
The worthy Dr Squintum.
For want of sense, a busy drone
Must turn a bee-hive upside down
I'd have you make this case your own
Litigious Dr Squintum.
Enraged to hear the humming crew
Which all around this thickhead flew
The monster snorted just like you
Illustrious Dr Squintum.
The brutal beast, in wanton play
Full many of the tribe did slay
And wished to drive the rest away
Presumptive Dr Squintum.

588 APPENDIX.
A council held, they all agreed
The monster for to kill with speed
I'd have you Sir, from hence take heed
Indignant Dr Squintum.
For if you do not check your reins
Some folks I know, will spare no pains
To treat you just as you treat grains
Thou brewing Dr Squintum."
Cole continues: "The late Mr Thomas Ewin, formerly a grocer and latterly a
brewer in partnership with Mr Sparks, was a very conceited and litigious man.
He acquired a very large fortune, which he left to a son now a brewer in Cambridge,
but who was educated a pensioner in St John's College. Mr Ewin was a most
zealous son of the Church of England of the highest form : hardly ever missed
going twice a day on Sundays to his own parish church St Sepulchre, in which
parish he had a good house, twice to St Mary's to hear the University Sermons,
and constantly at Vespres in Trinity College Chapel to attend the music of the
Cathedral service there. Notwithstanding all this he married a daughter of old
Mr Howel a coal-merchant in St Clement's parish, with whom he had a large
fortune but a most rigid dissenter ; indeed she and Mr Finch's family were the
supports and props of the Presbyterian interest of Cambridge ; so that, had she not
been one of the most prudent as well as best tempered women, and a most excellent
wife it would have been impossible for any peace or harmony to have existed between
them. They had a daughter married to Mr Cokayn of Soham."

man behind a counter, or vessel, holding a line of candles before him, and I. E. A.

bridge and died 1668, see p. 76."

Gentleman's Magazine for 1797, p. 446, has the following notice of him : " He was
chaplain to the late Earl of Morton when President of the Royal Society ; and had
long laboured, at times, under the most severe and excruciating attacks of that
inveterate disorder, the gout, by which he was totally deprived of the use of his
limbs, so that for many years he exhibited a living proof of the fallacy of the
evidence he published in 1770 relative to M. Le Fevre's supposed specific for that
disease. During his sufiferings he gave the most ample proofs of a mind impressed
with the doctrine and truths of the Christian religion, by bearing his affliction
with firmness and submitting with resignation to the dispensations of an all-
righteous and all-wise God. His political opinions, we doubt not, have been such
as will endear his memory to every man who is a sincere lover of his country and
a friend to the civil and religious liberties of mankind in general. A short time
before his death he published an interesting novel in 2 vols., 8vo, intituled Edmund
and Eleanora ; or Memoirs of the Houses of Summerfield and Gretton, written as the
benevolent author observed in the introduction to the work ' to beguile the horrors
of pain and confinement.' For maily years he was an occasional writer in the
Kentish Gazette (chiefly on political subjects) under the signature of Cantianus,
and was occasionallj' a contributor to our miscellany."
A letter from him appears at p. 459 a of that volume of the Gentleman's
Magazine.
He was the author of, A candid and impartial statement of the evidence of a
very great probability that there is discovered by Monsieur Le Fevre a. ..physician
practising at Liege. ..a specific for the gout. ..In an appendix is given an account of
a house fixed up at Liege, for the reception of the English only. Canterbury 1770,

P. 129 no. 40. William Burrell, third and second surviving son of Peter
Burrell, of Beckenham, was born in Leadenhall Street, London, 10 October 1732,
and was baptized in St Peter's, Cornhill, 24 October. He took the LL.B. degree
in 1755 and the LL.D. degree in 17(50. He was admitted by the Archbishop of
Canterbury to be an Advocate in the Arches Court of Canterbury 13 September
1760. He was an advocate at Doctors' Commons, and some manuscript " Reports
of cases determined by the High Court of Admiralty " preserved by him were
published by Mr R. G. Marsden in 1885. He was returned as M.P. for the
borough of Haslemere, Surrey, 19 March 1768, when he is described as of the
city of Westminster. He vacated his seat in 1774 on being appointed one of the
Commissioners of Excise. He was appointed Chancellor of the Diocese of
Worcester in July 1764, and Chancellor of the Diocese of Rochester in August
1771. He married 13 April 1773, Sophia, daughter and co-heiress of Charles
Raymond, of Valentine Hou.se, Essex. Mr Raymond was created a baronet 31 May
1774 with remainder to his son-in-law, William Burrell, who succeeded to the title
on the death of his father-in-law 24 August 1789. Two years before he had been
attacked by paralysis and resigned his seat at the Board of Excise in 1791. He
purchased Deepdene estate of the Duke of Norfolk in 1791, and died there
20 January 1796.
From an early period he devoted much attention to the history of the county
of Sussex, amassing a large collection of material illustrating the history of the
county. He maintained a correspondence with nearly every person of education
in the county, and personally inspected most if not the whole of the parish
registers in Sussex, extracting therefrom the name of every person of gentle
position, marking each in the register book with a peculiar ' tick ' well known to
Sussex genealogists. He employed Messrs Grimm and Lambert to make drawings
of all buildings of interest in the county. By his will (dated 11 November 1790
and proved 16 February 1796) he bequeathed " 15 folio volumes in MSS. and my
8 large folio volumes of drawings executed by Grimm and Lambert relating to
the county of Sussex to the Trustees of the British Museum upon condition that
all my family and their descendants shall be allowed free access to read and inspect
the same."

There are monuments to his memory in the churches of Cuckfield and West
Grinstead, Sussex, both by Flaxman. A portrait of him is given in Manning's
History of Sussex, iii, and in Dallaway's History of Sussex, ii (Lower, Worthies
of Sussex, 131-3; Sussex Archaeological Collections, xUii, 38-41; Cambridge
Chronicle, 17 August 1771, 30 January 1796; Gentleman's Magazine, 1796, 86;

P. 129 no. 41. Hugh Simpson, only son of Thomas Simpson, of Penrith,
Cumberland, esquire, was admitted a student of Gray's Inn 27 March 1752, and
was called to the Bar 9 June 1758. He was dead before 9 June 1769.
P. 130 no. 42. William Barker, graduated as William Bell Barker, B.A. 1753,
M.A. 1756. He was ordained Deacon 25 December 1753 by the Bishop of Ely,
with letters dimissory from the Bishop of Norwich. He was instituted Eector of
Eushmere All Saints, Suffolk, 11 September 1756, and became rector of Fros-
tenden in the same year. He held both livings until his death 28 January 1791
at Southwold, aged 61 (Gentleman's Magazine, 1791, p. 186a).
P. 130 no. 43. Cockin Sole, the father, son and heir-apparent of Thomas Sole,
of Bobbing, Kent, was admitted a student of the Inner Temple 29 October 1711,
and was called to the Bar 3 July 1715.
John Cockayne Sole, esquire, married Miss Lushington 3 August 1754 (Gentle-
man's Magazine, 1754, p. 387a). John Cockaine Sole, of Bobbing, was High
Sheriff of Kent from 27 January 1756 to 4 February 1757.
P. 130 no. 44. William Craven claimed to be related to the Lords Craven and
used their arms. He was elected a University Craven Scholar in 1750 ; took his
degree as fourth Wrangler in the Mathematical Tripos of 1753 and was also Senior
Chancellor's medallist. He was admitted a Fellow of the College 17 March 1755,
but was removed by a mandate of the Bishop of Ely, and Thomas Todington
(P. 134 no. 16) admitted in his place 19 March 1757. He was readmitted a Fellow
13 March 1758. He was ordained Deacon 14 March 1756 by the Bishop of Chester
in St Margaret's, Westminster, and Priest by the Bishop of Lincoln 23 September
1759. On 12 April 1757 when he is described as " now an assistant at the
Grammar School at Harrow " he was nominated with two others by the College to
the Brewers' Company in order that they might select a master for Aldenham
School. Craven was not selected. He then seems to have returned to College,
where he resided for the rest of his life. He held a succession of College offices ;
Sacrist 28 February 1766 to 29 January 1767 ; Steward 29 January 1767 to
20 February 1770 ; Junior Bursar 20 February 1770 to 24 March 1775 ; Bakehouse
Bursar 24 March 1775 to 27 April 1786; Senior Bursar 27 April 1786 until his
election as Master. He was also President 16 March 1776 to 25 March 1779 and
again 17 March 1780 to 20 March 1781. He was admitted Master of the College
29 March 1789, and held the office until his death 28 January 1815. He was
Sir Thomas Adams' Professor of Arabic in the University from 1770 to 1795.
And Lord Almoner's Professor of Arabic 1770 to 1815. He was buried iu the
College Chapel. His tombstone, now much broken, bears the inscription :
•'Gulielmus Craven S.T.P. | Magister Collegii | electus Magister Mart: 29, 1789 |
obiit Jan. 28, 1815 | Anno aetatis 85." He seems to have held no Church prefer-
ment. Cole in his collections for an Athenae Cantabrigiemics (Brit. Mus. Add.
MSS. 5866) has this note on William Craven : "A North Country maa and curate
of Milton near Cambridge 1773, seemingly a worthy plain man." He published
(i) Seriiwns on the evidence of a future state of rewards and punishments arising
from a view of our nature and condition ; in which are considered some objections of
Hume. Preached before the University of Cambridge in 1774, Cambridge 1775, 8vo,
republished with additions in 1783 ; (ii) A Sermon [on 1 Cor. xiv, 1] preached at a
meeting of tlie Governors of Addenhrooke's Hospital in Cambridge ; to which is
added a part of an intended publication concerning the Jewish and Christian Dis-
pensations, Cambridge 1798, 8vo ; (iii) Continuation of a Discourse on the Jewish
and Christian Dispensations, Cambridge 1800, 8vo. ; (iv) The Jewish and Christian
Dispensations compared with other institutions, Cambridge 1813, 8vo.
Craven seems to have been a very unselfish man. He was residuary legatee
under Samuel Ogden's will, but asked Ogden to make other dispositions, he.
Craven, having a sufficiency. Miles Bland (Annotations on the Historical Books of
the New Testament, i, preface), who describes him as "a man of primitive simplicity,
of unostentatious merit, and a Christian indeed without guile," states that

Craven established lectures ou every Sunday during term for all students of the
College on the Gospels or Acts of the Apostles. It has, however, been hinted that
the real object of these was to keep the students away from Charles Simeon's
church. Craven left £3000 to the College, which was employed in the erection of
the Fourth Court. His portrait is in the Master's Lodge.
P. 130 no. 46. George Mason took the degree of B.A. 1753 and M.A. 1756.
He was ordained Deacon in Grosvenor Chapel, Middlesex, 18 March 1753 and
licensed to the curacy of South Wingfield, co. Derby, with a salary of £30; he
was ordained Priest 22 September 1754 and licensed to the curacy of Pleasley, co.
Derby, with a salary of £31. lOs., all by the Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield." He
then became chaplain to the Duchess of Athol, by whom he was nominated Bishop
of Sodor and Man 19 February 1780, confirmed 4 March, and consecrated next day
(Hardy's Le Neve, in, 328). He had previously been admitted to the degrees of
B.D. and D.D. at the University of Oxford 16 February 1780 (Foster, Alumni
Oxonieiuses). Mr. Foster assigns as the dates of his Cambridge degrees B.A. 1760,
M.A. 1763, but these are the dates of the degrees of a second George Mason, of St
John's (see P. 149 no. 30). The Rev. T. Vere Bayne, of Christ Church, Oxford,
has sent me the following extracts from the Oxford Registers which clearly shew
that the Bishop of Sodor aud Man was the earlier George Mason :

Dr Mason died at Bishop's Court, Isle of Man, after a long and painful illness
8 December 1783 [Gentleman's Magazine). His mother, Mrs Agnes Mason, died
at Kirkby Stephen about February 1796, aged 92 [Gentlenuin'a Magazine, 1796,
p. 1716).
In the churchyard of Kirkby Stephen there is a monument with the following
inscription : " Here lyeth interred the Body of Miles Mason who departed this life
on the 19th of December 1779 aged 78. To the pious memory of the best of
Parents His sons have erected this monument As the last Tribute of their Duty
and Affection to his sacred remains" (Bellasis, Westmorland Church Notes, ii, 129).
P. 130 no. 1. Robert Thistlethwaite matriculated at Oxford from Queen's
College 17 December 1748, when he is described as son of Richard Thistlethwaite,
of Hallbeck, Yorks. (Foster, Alumni Oxoniensex). On 8 January 1753 he was
licensed by the Bishop of Chester to the School of Yorebridge End, in the parish
of Aisgarth, Yorks., on the nomination of John Du Port. Vicar of Aisgarth, and
other trustees. He was ordained Deacon 27 August, and Priest 21 December 1758
by the Bishop of Ely. He was instituted Vicar of Kirkby Fleatham 27 October
1763 on the presentation of King George III, and Vicar of Well 31 July 1781, both
in Yorkshire. Ou 12 January 1782, when he is described as chaplain to George,
Earl of Errol, he received a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to
hold both these livings, Well being valued at £50 and Kirkby Fleatham at £60,
their distance apart being stated to be not more than 9 miles. He was again
instituted Vicar of Kirkby Fleatham 16 January 1782. He held both livings until
his death in 1790.
P. 130 no. 2. Edward Bullock, gentleman, son of the Rev. Dr Bullock, of
Streatham, Surrey, was admitted a student of Lincoln's Inn 20 November 1749,
and was called to the Bar 8 February 1755.
P. 130 no. 3. Thomas Wilsford, the elder, was bom 9 February 1693. He is
probably the Thomas Wilsford, of St Catharine's College, who obtained the degree
of M.D. Comitiis Regiis 1728. He died 16 June 1772, aged 78, aud was buried in
the old church at Pontefract. He married Jane, daughter of Richard Routh, of
Pontefract. She died 3 April 1780, and was buried in the chancel of St Giles's
Church. Thomas Wilsford, the younger, was bom 13 June 1732 ; he was admitted

student of Lincoln's Inn 6 November 1749 ; he died unmarried at Bampton in
Westmorland 16 March 1782, aged 49 (Hunter, Familiae Minorum Gentium,
Harleian Soc. Piihl. xxxix, 998, where there is a pedigree).
Eichard Wilsford, second son of Thomas Wilsford, of Pontefract, M.D., was
admitted a student of the Middle Temple 7 October 1754, he migrated to Lincoln's
Inn where he was admitted 14 June 1769, and was called to the Bar 17 June 1771.
P. 130 no. 4. John Newman was ordained Deacon 14 March 1756 by the
Bishop of Hereford.
P. 130 no. 6. William Lupton was ordained Deacon 21 September 1755 by
the Archbishop of York, and Priest 10 June 1759 by the Bishop of Bristol. He
was instituted Eector of Blagdon, Somerset, 11 December 1761, ceding this on his
institution 16 July 1766 to the Vicarage of Long Claxton, co. Leicester, on the
presentation of Elizabeth Turville, widow (Nichols, History of Leicestershire, ii,
135), ceding this in 1776, when on the 16th May 1776 he was instituted Rector of
Buckland by Faversham, and Rector of Midley, both co. Kent, on the presentation
of Charles Eve, of Hoxton Square, in the parish of St Leonard's, Shoreditch, esq.
Both livings were vacant in 1782. This seems to be the career of William Lupton,
M.A.. of St John's, it being definitely stated in the Act Books of the Archbishop of
Canterbury that the Rector of Buckland and Midley was of St John's College,
Cambridge.
In Whitaker's Loidis and FAmete it is stated that William Lupton, M.A., of
St John's College, Cambridge, was appointed Vicar, or curate of Headingley,
Leeds, in 1769 and held it until his death 3 February 1782, the year in which the
two Kent livings were vacant.
P. 131 no. 7. This is perhaps the Samuel Griffith of Dinthill, esq., who was
High Sheriff of Sliropshire from 2 February 1759 to 1 February 1760.
P. 131 no. 8. This person seems to have been called Stephens and Stevens
indifferently. He appears in the list of Graduati as William Stevens, B.A. 1754.
He was admitted Fellow of the College 6 April 1756. He was ordained Deacon by
the Bishop of Lincoln at Buckden 24 June 1755 and licensed to tlie curacy of
Haddon, Hunts, he was ordained Priest by the Bishop of London 18 December
1757 (as Stevens). He was presented by the College to the Rectory of Great
Snoring with Thursford, co. Norfolk, 18, and instituted 31 October 1775 (as
Stephens). He was instituted Rector of Walpole St Peter, Norfolk, on the
presentation of the King 2 December 1780 (as Stevens). He held both livings
until his death. At the time of his presentation to Snoring he was Morning
Preacher at Audley Chapel, London (Cambridge Chronicle, 2 December 1775). He
was appointed chaplain to H.M.'s Dockyard at Portsmouth (ibid. 20 October 1787).
He was also Morning Preacher at Grosvenor Chapel, and Lecturer of St George's,
Hanover Square, London. He died at Brighton 28 September 1800, in his sixty-
ninth year (ihid. 4 October 1800). The Gentleman^s Magazine in a notice of him
(Vol. Ixx, 1007 (i) says of him : he was " a man whom Nature had endowed with
some of her choicest gifts, those intellectual and moral qualities which branch
forth into the higher order of human virtues, whom learning had not made
pedantic, whom the partial regard of numerous friends had not made vain ; who,
in a long and habitual course of familiar living with persons of the first rank,
acquired a polish of high life, without one of its failings ; and in the midst of a
contaminating age, preserved a simplicity of character, a liberality of sentiment,
and a benevolence of heart, which would have given him a place among the best
men, in the most virtuous period of the world."
Cole in his collections for an Athenae Cantabrigienses (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS.
5880) has the following note on him (as Stephens) : "He married the Duke of
Cumberland, which was looked upon as rather dangerous at that time : is now a
favourite with the Duke, who ordered him to take his Doctor's degree, hoping to be
able to prefer him. Since these revolutions and turn of the Ministry by the
Republican Factions, he told Dr Chevallier that the Duke had said, that the King,
his brother, had been so harassed by these people for above twenty years, that he
was tired to death and was disposed to go to Hanover. Dr ChevalHer told this to
Dr Farmer May 6, 1782."
After his death three volumes of his sermons, with portrait (edited by Anne
Stevens), were published in London in 1801. And a Funeral Sermon (on Ps.
Ixxxix, 47) to the memory of W. Stevens, D.D., was published in London in 1800.

P. 131 no. 9. John Reade was the second son of John Beade, of Ipsden, by
his second wife, Bridget Brigham. He was born 23 June and baptized at Ipsden
21 July 1731. The College Admonition Book, or record of punishments, contains
the following entry : " Jan. y^ 13th 1753 I John Reade was this day admonished
by the Master before the Seniors for keeping strangers in my chamber 'till twelve
o' the clock and disturbing the Master by knocking at his gate in an irreverent
manner at that hour for the keys of the gate." (Signed) John Readk.
John Reade took the B.A. degree in 1754, but did not proceed to the M.A.
degree. He was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of London 14 June 1754 with
letters dimissory from the Bishop of Ely and Priest 21 December 1755 by the
Bishop of Ely, being licensed curate of Chatteris on the same day. He was insti-
tuted Rector of Little Rollright, co. Oxford, 25 March 1771, on the presentation
of Sir John Reade, fifth baronet, of Shipton Court. On 23 June 1789 a new
Rector was instituted on the death of John Reade. He married, at Hammersmith,
on Sunday, 26 January 1772, Miss Breedon, only daughter of John Breedon, esq.,
of Bere Court, Berks. [Cambridge Chronicle, 1 February 1772). This John
Breedon was the squire of Delabere Court, or as it was then styled Bere or Bare
Court, Pangbourne, Berks. His daughter, Katherine, was an heiress. Tradition
affirms that the Rev. John Reade was ordained to the curacy of Pishill, a chapelry
of Nettlebed, co. Oxford. He died without issue (Compton Reade, A Record of the
Reades, 70).
P. 131 no. 10. William Wright, son of Hon. Martin Wright, knt., was
admitted a student of the Inner Temple 9 February 174^. One William Wright
was called to the Bar 25 June 1757, but as there were two students of that name
admitted to the Inner Temple on 31 January and 9 February it is not easy to
distinguish them. Probably the barrister was not the member of St John's. See
the admission of an elder brother, P. 117 no. 7.
The Gentleman's Magazine for 1814, p. 308, gives the following carious details
among its obituary notices :
"March 14. In an obscure lodging in Pimlico, where he resided without keeping
a servant. Wright, esq., of Lincoln's Inn, a younger son of the Judge Sir
Martin Wright. He was of St John's College, Cambridge ; educated to the Bar ;
and at one time possessed of very slender property, which was gradually increased
by the bequests of two sisters, who made him their sole heir ; and it was already
large when an extraordinary circumstance gave him the whole of the ftimily
estate. His elder brother, who had been long at variance with him, had resolved
to leave the estate to a stranger. He had a will drawn up for that purpose, and
was riding with it in his pocket to a market- town to have it attested, when he was
seized with a fit, fell from his horse and expired. Mr Wright, after this accession
of fortune, went abroad, where he resided great part of his life. He appears to
have been a man of eccentric character, and has disposed of his large property in
a very extraordinary manner. He has left by will his estates in Hampshire, deer-
parks, and fisheries, to Lady F. Wilson (wife of the baronet of that name),
amounting to 3000/. per annum. Mr Wright was totally unacquainted with the
Lady, to whom he never spoke, but he was so greatly enamoured of her before her
marriage (when Lady Frances Bruce), that he used to place himself nightly in the
pit of the opera, that he might fix his eyes on her as she sat in her box ; and he
never approached nearer to the object of his adoration. When the will was first
mentioned to Lady Wilson, she did not credit the bequest ; but on further inquiry,
she remembered that a man of Mr W.'s description had a box next to her at the
Opera, and that on account of his repeatedly staring at her she was compelled to
change her box. She had never, to her knowledge, seen him on any other occasion.
She recognised his features as he lay in his coffin. Mr Wright was a constant
attendant at St Martin's Church. In his will he left a legacy of lOOOi. to Arch-
deacon Pott, the Rector of St Martin's (who had no knowledge of Mr Wright), as a
mark of his approbation of a sermon he heard him preach. He also bequeathed
the following sums : to the Lord Chancellor lOOOi. ; to Lord Sidmouth 4000/. ; to
the Countess of Roslyn 4000/. ; and to Mr Abbot, the Speaker of the House of
Commons, whom he made his executor, 7000/. Of all these distinguished
characters Mr Wright had no more knowledge than he had of Lady Frances
Wilson, who is his residuary legatee. The latter has put her family and servants
into mourning out of respect. Mr Wright has left also 3000/. to the funds of St
John's College, Cambridge. The remains of Mr Wright have been interred in the

family vault at Drayton. It is said that his Will will be contested, and that Sir
Wm. Guise, M.P., is either the heir-at-law, or one of the nearest relatives to the
testator."
P. 131 no. 11. Chafin Grove, the father, married Ann Amor, and through her
succeeded to the Zeals estates.
William Chafin Grove, son and heir of Chafin Grove, of Mere, co. Wilts,
esquire, was admitted a student of the Middle Temple 28 April 1750, and was
called to the Bar 23 January 1756. He was returned in the Parliament of 1768
as M.P. for the Borough of Shaftesbury, Dorset. And in the Parliaments of 1774
and 1780 as M.P. for Weymouth and Melcombe Regis, Dorset. He vacated this
seat in 1781 on accepting the Stewardship of the Manor of East Hendred, Berks.
He died at Bath (Gentleman's Magazine, 1793, p. 93 ; European Magazine, 1793,
p. 159 ; the date of his death being given as 17 January 1793). But in the church
of Mere, Wilts, there is a monument to his memory with the following inscription :
"William Chafin Grove, son of Chafin Grove, esquire, obiit 27 January 1793,
aetatis 62" (Ro&ve, Hutory of Wiltshire, i. Hundred of Mere, 16). He married
Elizabeth, daughter of John Grove, of Feme, but left no issue (Burke, I^anded
Gentry, Chafyn Grove, of Zeals).
P. 131 no. 12. Joseph Collier did not graduate. He was ordained Deacon
17 June 1750 by the Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield and licensed to the curacy
of Cheadle, Staffordshire, with a salary of £30.
One of these names was instituted Vicar of Ockbrook, co. Derby, 1 August
1765, on the presentation of Dame Mary Lake, and Vicar of Castle Donington, co.
Leicester, 30 January 1781. Both livings were vacant in 1807.
P. 131 no. 13. Richard Eddowes was ordained Deacon 9 June 1754 and
licensed to the curacy of Betley, co. Stafford, with a salary of £20, he was
ordained Priest 21 September 1755 and licensed to the curacy of Ravenston, co.
Derby, with a salary of £30, all by the Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield.
P. 131 no. 14. Ralph Forster was son of Joseph Forster, of High Buston and
Newton-by-the-Sea, co. Northumberland. He was baptized 19 January 173J
(Embleton Parish Register). He was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of Chester,
at St Margaret's, Westminster, 6 March 1757. He was admitted a Fellow of the
College 2 April 1754, and Senior Fellow 20 April 1773. His fellowship was filled
up in 1774. He was Junior Proctor of the University 1763-4. He was nominated
by the College Chaplain of Horningsey, co. Cambridge, 28 February 1766, John
Carr, who succeeded him, was nominated 25 March 1773. He was presented by
the College to the Rectory of Great Warley, Essex, 30 November 1772 and insti-
tuted 11 February 1773. He was buried at Great Warley 2 December 1804 ((ireat
Warley Parish Register). Cole in his collections for an Athenae Cantabrigienses
has the following note on Ralph Forster (Brit. Mus. Add. MSS. 5869): "An odd
kind of man, who serves the church of Horningsey, and also has had frequent
squabbles with the Master who has convened him and complained of him to the
Visitor and made him submit himself to him, acknowledging his fault in their
Register."
What the precise nature of the dispute between Ralph Forster and the Master,
Dr William Samuel Powell, was has not been recorded. The incident alluded to
by Cole is recorded in the following four entries in the Admonition Book, a volume
in which the punishments inflicted on junior members of the Society were
recoi'ded. The incident is quite unique in the College Annals.
February the 10th 1769. Whereas Mr Forster, one of the Fellows of our
College, and now a deputy of one of the absent Seniors, has several times, at
meetings of the Master and Seniors, used reproachful and contemptuous language
and scoffs, to the Master and to all or some of the Seniors; and whereas upon
account of such his ill-behaviour an entry was formerly made in a book called the
Conclusion Book in the words following, viz. : February the 16th 1768 " It is the
unanimous opinion of the Master and Seniors, that Mr Forster's behaviour
yesterday at a meeting was improper and indecent, and ordered that the President
communicate this opinion to him." A copy of which entry was on the same day
delivered to him by the President. And whereas Mr Forster has since that time at
other meetings of the Master and Seniors used reproachful and contemptuous
language to the Master and to all or some of the Seniors, and once used menaces,
unless they would erase the said entry. And whereas at a meeting on the 6th day
APPENDIX. 597
of this month, Mr Forster, producing a passage out of the twenty-seventh Statute,
demanded in a vehement manner that the said entry should be erased, and taking
a pen began to blot it out ; and though the Master immediately forbad him, and
all or the greater part of the Seniors signified at the same time their dislike of his
proceedings, continued to blot it out. It is now agreed by the Master and the
other seven Seniors that Mr Forster should be censured, the second time, for his
breaches of the 25th Statute, and of other Statutes which require submission to
the authority of the Master and Seniors, by an open admonition to be given him
by the Master in the presence of all the Seniors. And the Master did admonish
him {accordingly. Witnesses: W. S. Powell, G. Ashby, J. Mainwaring, T. Frampton,

February the 18th 1769. At the same time when Mr Forster was admonished,
as appears in the two preceding pages, he was required and ordered, to write again,
with his own hand, in the Conclusion Book the entry which he had blotted out,
and an acknowledgement of his error within a week at the Bursar's Chamber ; and
this order was made a part of their judgment upon his former conduct. But it
now appearing to us that Mr Forster has refused or neglected to comply with this
order, he was this day called before us, the Master and Seniors, and was again by
us required and ordered to write the said entry and acknowledgement of his error,
which he peremptorily refused to do. We therefore do censure the conduct of Mr
Forster. And whereas our Statutes direct that the Seniors shall be chosen ex
gravioribus, prudentioribiis, doctioribus, probatioribus ; and also direct that who-
ever for any weighty cause to be approved by the Master and the greater part of
the Seniors, shall be judged unfit to be elected a Senior, shall not, whilst that
cause remains, be the deputy of the President or of any Senior ; We having con-
sidered Mr Forster's general behaviour and disposition as well as the particular
facts which have occasioned this and the former censures, and having heard what
he could allege in his defence, do judge and determine, that he is unfit at present
to be chosen by us a Senior Fellow, and we therefore forbid him to act as the
deputy of any Senior or to come to our meetings, till he shall have again given us
reasons to alter our judgment (Signed by the same persons with the omission of
W. Craven).
I Ralph Forster, B.D., one of the FeUows of St John's College in th? University
of Cambridge, thinking myself aggrieved by certain censures, which the Master
and Senior Fellows of the said College have lately passed on me, and more
especially by their resolution of the 18th of February last, by which amongst other
things I am declared unfit to be chosen a Senior Fellow, and forbid to act as the
deputy of any Senior, did very lately lay a state of my case before the Bishop of
Ely, Visitor of the said College, and as his Lordship is of opinion from my own
state of the case, that I have behaved in so rude and insolent a manner to the
Master and to all or some of the Seniors at several of the meetings held for trans-
acting the business of the College as to deserve the censures which have been
passed on me, and in particular that I am guilty of a great crime in rasing out a
certain censure which the Master and Senior Fellows had unanimously passed on
me, and entered in a book called the Conclusion Book, and as his Lordship is also
of opinion that the said resolution was right and proper and fully warranted by
the Statutes of the said College, and ought not to be repealed, either in the whole
or part, till I had publicly acknowledged my fault and solemnly promised not to
offend in the like manner again. I do therefore in compliance with his Lordship's
judgment hereby acknowledge that I have behaved in a very rude and insolent
manner to the Master and to all or some of the Senior Fellows in several of the
meetings held for transacting the business of the College and do humbly ask their
pardon and solemnly promise never to be guilty of the like again, and as the best
proof I can at present give of my sorrow for my past misconduct I have made this
entry with my own hand and subscribed the same. And I do moreover promise
forthwith to reenter in like manner the censure which I had rased out of the book
called the Conclusion Book. Ralph Forster.

16 November 1769. The Master and Senior Fellows being willing to hope that
Mr Forster, after having been excluded from the office of a Deputy Senior nine
months, and near six months from the time of his making the submission above
written, will not hereafter fall into the like misbehaviour, do agree and consent
that from and after the 18th instant he be restored to the ofl&ce of a Deputy

P. 131 no. 16. William Forster, son of Joseph Forster, of Newton, Northumber-
land, esquire, matriculated at Oxford from Lincoln College 19 March 174J, aged 18.
He took the 13. A. degree at Oxford in 1744 (Foster, Ahimtii Oxonieiues). He took
the M.A. degree at Cambridge from St John's in 1750. He was a brother of the
preceding. He was ordained Deacon 18 December 1748 by the Bishop of Norwich,
and Priest 8 October 1750 by the Bishop of Gloucester. He was instituted Vicar
of Long Houghton 30 September 1752 and Vicar of Lesbury 29 May 1775, both in
Northumberland. On 26 May 1775, when he is described as chaplain to Francis,
Lord Napier, he received a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to
hold Long Houghton (valued at £45) with Lesbury (valued at £100), the two
livings being stated to be not more than one mile apart. He held both livings
until liis death. He was baptized at Warkworth 27 March 1722. He married
10 October 1770, at the episcopal chapel in Edinburgh, Margaret, daughter of
John Cameron, of Fassiefern. He died at Lesbury 31 August and was buried at
Embleton 4 September 1784 (History of NortJmmberland, The Northumberland
County History Committee, ii, 100, where there is a pedigree, 393, 443).
P. 131 no. 16. William Elliston took the degree of B.A. in 1754 as fourth
Wrangler, and M.A. 1757 from St John's. He was elected a FeUow of Sidney
Sussex College 27 April 1758, and in October of that year was appointed Steward
and Keeper of the Chest. He was ordained Deacon 21 May 1758 in Ely Chapel,
Holborn, and Priest 21 December 1759, in the parish church of Kensington, by
tiie Bishop of Ely. He was elected Master of Sidney Sussex College 8 May
17r)0. He was instituted Eector of Kej-stone, Hunts., 3 July 1764, holding the
living with his office of Master until his death 11 February 1807, aged 74 {Cam-
bridge Chronicle, 14 February 1807). One of his sisters married, in 1767, William
Abbot (of St John's, B.A. 1754), and another sister, Martha, married in December
1773, Thomas Martyn, Professor of Botany.
Cole has the following on William Elliston in his account of the Masters of
Sidney Sussex (MSS. Cole, xx, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5821, p. ^24) : " William
Elliston, A.M., Fellow of the College, but formerly of St John's College, was on
the death of Dr Parris chosen to succeed him in this Mastership, when he was
only * * years' standing in the University. In the spring of 1764, he being then
Vice-Chancellor, he distinguished himself by his steady attachment to the interest
of the present Earl of Sandwich, one of the Secretaries of State, and recommended
strongly by the Court for the High Stewardship of the University ; and upon a
scrutiny there was an equality of votes in the two Houses, so that no election is
yet made. This behaviour was the occasion of his preferment, for in the Cambridge
Chronicle of 9 June 1764 is this article : ' Extract of a letter from Cambridge,
June 3 ; We hear that our Vice-Chancellor is presented by the Marquis of Rocking-
ham to the Living of Keystone in Huntingdonshire, worth near £300 a year. It
is very observable that the Vice-Chancellor had not the honour to be at all known
to his Lordship and that the Marquis's only motive for distinguishing him with so
particular a mark of regard was the Vice-Chancellor's steady conduct and in-
tegrity in the late contest for the office of High Steward. A noble instance of
generosity in his Lordship, and what has given the greatest pleasure to all true
lovers of liberty, of the University, and of our happy constitution' (Cole adds the
note : The living is not worth above £200 per annum). On Tuesday 12 June 1764,
being Vice-Chancellor, he was admitted to the degree of Bachelor of Divinity, Dr
Law, Master of Peterhouse, officiating as Vice-Chancellor ; and on Wednesday,
October 9, of the same year he was created D.D. by Royal mandate, Dr Caryl being
deputy." Cole (ibid. p. 139) has the following additional particulars: "In July 1776
the Chapel was pulled entii-ely down, with some new buildings erected by it, by Dr
Parris, the late Master, who had well-nigh ruined the College by suppressing
Fellowships for the ornamenting the Hall and his Lodge, so that six new Fellows
were elected at one time from other Colleges, for want of admissions in their own ;
among the rest Dr Elliston, the present Master, who by good economy and prudent
management has much benefited the Society, by raising their rents and occasion-
ing the usual admissions. He planned the new chapel and means to erect it on
the old foundations, but lengthening it; having no scruple about its irregular

position of North and South, and to finish it at the College expense, without
suppressing Fellowships or begging subscriptions, in a plain and decent but not
costly manner, or much ornamentation. Wednesday, October 2, 1776. The
foundation stone of Sidney College new chapel was laid by Mr Essex, none of the
Society (being sent to by Mr Essex) giving themselves the trouble to attend, they
being busy, as the answer was, at their audit. A date was put upon the stone."
Robert William EUiston, the celebrated comedian, was a nephew of the Master
of Sidney Sussex, who educated him at St Paul's School, London, and left him a
considerable sum under his will (Gentleman's Magazine, 1807, 190 ; Biographical
Dictionary of Livin;/ Authors, 1816). Tbe Cambridge Chronicle for 24 June 1786
announces the death at Monks Eleigh, Suffolk, of Mr Robert Elliston, senior,
uncle to the Master of Sidney ; leaving a widow to whom he had been married 56
years, " but what was more remarkable he had lived 86 years in the same house
where he was born." The Parish Register of All Saints, Cambridge, has the
following entry : " 1807, February 17, Rev. Dr Elliston, Master of Sidney College
buried in the College Chapel."

sole heiress of Richard Townley, of Carr, esq. He was elected a Go'veruoi' of
Blackburn Grammar School in 1749. He was a J.P. for Lancashire, and a Major
of the Royal Lancashire Volunteers. He died at Little Harwood Hail 17 April

Bedfield, Darsham, and Horham, all in Suffolk, until his death 27 November 1788,
at Halesworth, aged 57, at which date he was also Perpetual Curate of Great and
Little Lin stead, Suffolk. His death was occasioned by falling against a stub, in
getting over a fence while shooting. " His death was much regretted by all who had
the pleasure of his acquaintance; in him the parishes have lost a real friend,
as charity and benevolence were his peculiar characteristics" {Ipstvich Joicrnal,
6 December 1788; Gentleman's Magazine, 1788, ii, 1127; Davy, Suffolk Collections,

Yorks. In the church of All Saints', Derby, there is a tablet with this inscription:
"This tablet is eiected out of filial respect and gratitude by their surviving children,
to perpetuate the memory of the Rev. Charles Hope, A.M., many years minister of
this parish: and of Susannah his wife, daughter of Benjamin Stead, Esq., of
Woodseats in the county of York, univei-sally esteemed and regretted. He died

who was Vicar of Llangwm 1760—1781, and also Vicar of Henllan 1759 — 1766, but
this would appear to be a mistake.
P. 132 no. 27. For the father, see Part ii, P. 197 no. 16; this Henry Elmsall

Fellow of Sidney Sussex College, and Rector of St Mary's, Colchester. Elmsall,
Twining and Dr John Hey (Cath., B.A. 1755, afterwards Fellow of Sidney Sussex
and Norrisian Professor of Divinity) became intimate while at Cambridge, and
their friendship was uninterrupted during their lives. Henry Elmsall was instituted
Vicar of Batley, Yorks., 2 March 1772, and Rector of Elraeley or Emley, Yorks.,
10 March 1772, being empowered by dispensation to hold the two livings, then,

10 December. After his death the Rev. Thomas Twining wrote to his brother :
"Hey and I must feel this loss as long as we live. But I am thankful that I have
enjoyed for so many years the acquaintance and friendship of such a man. The
recollection of it will be dear to me as long as I live. In strong unprejudiced
sense of judgment I think he was superior to any man I have ever known; in
humour beyond any; and a more virtuous man, I verily believe, never lived — a man
more perfectly free from his youth from every shade of vice." (Recreations and
Studies of a Country Clergyman of the Eighteenth Century, pp. 5, 6, 38 — 46, 74, 75,

Bishop of Lincoln. He was instituted Rector of Carlton Scroop, co. Lincoln, 3 April
1762, and Rector of Elston, Notts., 10 March 1766. On 7 March 1766, when he is
described as chaplain to William, Lord Haulkerton, he received a dispensation
from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold both livings, then stated to be of the
respective values of £100 and £80, and to be not more than 20 miles apart. He
held both livings until his death at Carlton Scroop in 1805, aged 77 (Gentleman's
Magazine, 1805, p. 678). He was unmarried.
P. 132 no. 29. Erasmus Darwin, the fourth son and youngest child of his father,
was born at Elston Hall near Newark, 12 December 1731. In 1741 he was sent to
Chesterfield School, where he remained until he entered the College. He had been
preceded by his elder brother Robert (P. 109 no. 41). As an undergraduate he
contributed, in 1751, a copy of verses to the Cambridge collection; Acad. Cantab.
Luctus in Obitum Frederici Walliae Principis, these were afterwards reprinted in the
European Magazine for 1793. He was at the top of the Junior Optimes in the
Mathematical Tripos of 1754, but did not take the B.A. degree. He took the degree
of M.B. in 1755. In the autumn of 1754 he entered the University of Edinburgh
to study medicine. Early in September 1756 he settled as a physician in Notting-
ham, but getting no patients moved to Lichfield in November of the same year.
In Lichfield, owing to his success as a physician in some cases where others had
been less successful, he rapidly got into a lucrative practice. He married, 30
December 1757, Mary, daughter of Charles Howard, of Lichfield. She died, after
a long illness, in 1770. He married again 6 March 1781, Elizabeth, widow of
Colonel Edward Sacheverel Pole, of Radborn Hall, co. Derby; her maiden name
was Collier. After this second marriage Erasmus Darwin left Lichfield, and after
residing two years at Radborn Hall, removed to Derby, and ultimately to Breadsall
Priory, near that town, where he died April, 1802. He was buried in Breadsall
Church, where there is a monument to his memory with the following inscription:
"Erasmus Darwin, M.D., F.R.S.,born at Elston near Newark, 12th Dec. 1731. |
Died at the Priory near Derby 18 April 1802. | Of the rare union of talents | which
so eminently distinguished him | as a Physician, a Poet and Philosopher | His
writings remain | a public and unfailing testimony. | His widow | has erected this
monument | in memory of | the zealous benevolence of his disposition | the active
humanity of his conduct | and the many private virtues | which adorned his
character." A monument with a bust and inscription has also been placed in
Lichfield Cathedral by his grandson, Francis Galton.

Erasmus Darwin's eldest son (by his first wife) Eobert Waring settled at Shrews-
bury as a physician, and was the father of Charles Eobert Darwin, the famous
naturalist. In 1804 Miss Anna Seward published Memoirs of the Life of Dr Darwin,
chiefly during his residence at Lichfield, with anecdotes of his friends and criticisms
on his writings. This life was both inadequate and inaccurate. Fuller details and
corrections of Miss Seward's statements are given in The Life of Erasmus Darwin
by Charles Darwin, being an introduction to an essay on his scientific works by
Ernest Krause, London, 1879. Erasmus Darwin published the following works:
(\) The Botanic Garden. A poem. In two parts. Part I. the Economy of Vegetation;
Part II. The Loves of the Plants : tvith Philosophical notes. Part II. was issued first,
printed at Lichfield in 1789, Part I. was published in London in 1791 ; (ii) Zoonomia;
or The Laws of Organic Life, London, 2 vols. 4to. 1794 — 1796; of this a German
translation by Brantes appeared at Hanover 1795 — 99 ; (iii) A Plan for the Conduct
of Female Education in Boarding Schools, Derby and Loudon, 1797, 4to.; (iv) Phyto-
iogia; or the Philosophy of Agriculture and Gardening, London, 1801, 4to. ; of this
a German translation by Hebenstreit was published in Leipzig in 1801; (v) The
Temple of Nature; or the Origin of Society. A Poem, with Philosophical notes,
London, 1803, 4to.
For further details and criticisms Miss Seward's and C. R. Darwin's biographies
should be consulted. There are many references to Dr Darwin in Miss Seward's
Letters; also in Miss Seward's correspondence with Thomas Sedgewick Whalley
(P. 164 no. 14), see Hill Wickham's Journals etc. of T. S. Whalley, Vol. ii. index,
p. 514. There is a bibliography of articles relating to Erasmus Darwin in R. Simms'
Bibliotheca Staffordiensis, pp. 132-3. There is a pedigree of the Darwin family in
Glover's History of Derbyshire, ii, 155.

Two other parts were published posthumously in 1806. He also assisted Mr Nichols
in publishing his father's posthumous History of Beauchief Abbey. He was also
the author of Anecdotes of the English Language published posthumously in 1803
(Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, vi, 258, viii, 118, ix, 237, 647, 648).
P. 134 no. 13. The name should be Sayle, by which name he graduated B.A.

of Waldershare, Kent; (2) on 1 January 1765 to Deborah, only daughter of John
Winchester of Nethersole, Kent. He left issue by both wives. The Gentleman's
Magazine for 1798 (vol. ii. p. 1089) in announcing his death has the following:
"Sir Edward was a candidate as M.P. for Kent in 1774, but declined before the day
of election. His influence over the borough of New Romney gave him the nomi-
nation of two seats in Parliament, and the large estates and honourable name
which he inherited would have carried a vast command over his native county had
they not been unhappily sacrificed to his own imprudence."
P. 134 no. 16. On 20 February 1755 the Archbishop of Canterbury granted letters

P. 134 no. 16. Thomas Todington was ordained Deacon 25 May 1755, and
licensed to the curacy of Sedgbrook, co. Lincoln; he was ordained Priest 18
December 1756, all by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was admitted a Fellow of the
College 19 March 1757, on Keton's foundation ex mandato speciali Matthiae Episcopi
Eliensis. But his admission only took place after much litigation, and after the
College had resisted his election and admission to the last. Dr John Keton, Canon
of Salisbury, had founded two Fellowships and two Scholarships in the College by
deed dated 22 October 22 Henry VHL (1531). His fellows and scholars were "to be
elect and chosen of those persons that be or had been Queristers of the Chapiter of
Southwell, if any such able persons in Manners and Learning could be found in
Southwell, and in default of such persons there, then of such persons as had been
Queristers of the Chapiter of Southwell, which persons should then be inhabitant or
abiding in the University of Cambridge ; and if none such should be found able in
the University, then the Fellows and Scholars or Disciples to be elected and chosen
of such persons that should be most singular in Manners and Learning, of what
country soever they should be that should then be abiding in the University."
In 1755 one of the Keton Fellowships was vacant by the resignation of
Theophilus Lindsey. For this Thomas Todington offered himself as a candi-
date, but the Master and Senior Fellows elected William Craven (afterwards
Master) and he was admitted to the Fellowship on 17 March 1755. From this
APPENDIX. 605
election Todington appealed to the Bishop of Ely, as Visitor of the College.
In his appeal he states that he had " been for three years a chorister of
the Church of Southwell and constantly performed choral duty there." That
at the time of the pretended election on 17 March 1755, he had been "in-
habitant and abiding within the College, and offered himself a candidate for
one of the Southwell Fellowships then vacant by the resignation of Theophilus
Lindsey. That the Master and Fellows of the College were well acquainted with
the claim or property of him, Thomas Todington, as a chorister of Southwell.
That he had good reason to believe that the Master and Fellows had no objection to
his Manners and Learning because since the 17 March 1755 he received a Testi-
monial of his Morals and Learning from certain Fellows of the College and by
virtue thereof had obtained Holy Orders from the Bishop of Lincoln." To this
appeal a reply was made by the Master and Fellows in November 1755. This
contains the following objections among others. That Keton had reserved power to
make Statutes or Ordinances for the election and government of his Fellows and
Scholars; provided such Statutes be conformable to the Statutes of the Foundress
(i.e. Bishop Fisher's Statutes), the reply then goes on to state: "that unless this
reference be allowed, the College must be supposed to have covenanted to elect into
Dr Keton's Fellowships such choristers of Southwell as should offer themselves,
though they should be boys not 16 years old, without a Degree, or married men, no
mention being made in the Deed of the age or degree or celibacy of the person to be
elected. That one of the College Statutes ordained that the Scholars should be
Corpore nullis contagiosis aut incurahilihits morbis vitioso, aliasve de/ormi aut mutilo.
That though the clause is not repeated when the qualifications of the Fellows are
described, yet it cannot be believed that the Statutes intended to require lower
qualifications of any kind, less perfection of mind or body in the Fellows than the
Scholars, since the reason of these rules must be at least as strong in the case of
Fellows as of Scholars ; since the Statutes expressly describe the Fellows as potiora
et solidiora membra Collegij, and the Scholars as a seminary out of which the fittest
were to be chosen into vacant Fellowships, and since they consider the Fellows as
a body of clergymen or persons designed for the Ministry and the Canon Law then
in force forbad the Admission of such as were deformed or mutilated into Holy
Orders.... That this rule has been observed in the elections of Fellows and Scholars;
particularly that at the election of Fellows immediately preceding this of which
Mr Todington complains, a candidate whose morals and learning the Master and
Fellows approved was rejected for want of a hand. That when Mr Todington was
desirous to have offered himself a candidate for a Scholarship before the vacancy or
the prospect of a vacancy of one of Dr Keton's Fellowships, the Master declared to
him and his Tutor that he was not eligible. That at the time of the election
mentioned in Mr Todington's appeal the incapacity of the Appellant on account of
his deformity was so evident to the Master and Fellows that they did not enter
into a joint deliberation concerning his other qualifications, but they say that his
behaviour had not been such as could have inclined them to elect him, if the
Statutes of the College had left them at liberty, and they had reason to believe his
ability in learning deficient. And that when Thomas Todington acquainted them
with his intention of offering himself a Candidate for Holy Orders, and for that
end requested their Letters Testimonial of his good morals and learning they
refused to*grant his request."
The College in December 1755 deputed Mr Powell to wait upon the Bishop of
Ely to answer such questions as the Bishop should put, and on 31 January 1756
empowered Mr Powell to do whatever was necessary to obtain a prohibition from the
Court of King's Bench to the proceedings of the Bishop of Ely (History of St John's
College, 1038). The College had previously taken the opinion of Sir Kichard Lloyd
(afterwards a Baron of the Exchequer) and of Sir William Murray, Attorney-General
(afterwards Lord Mansfield). These opinions seem unfavourable to the view of the
College. But the matter went to Court before Lord Mansfield ; proceedings ex-
tended from 3 February until 26 November 1757; in the end the Court refused to
grant the prohibition, and as we have seen, Todington became a Fellow of the
College. The matter will be found very fully reported in 1 Burrows' Reports of Cases
adjudged in the Court of King's Bench, 158 — 205.
Todington seems to have resided in College for some years and held his Fellow-
ship until 1774. He was instituted Rector of Thornton-le-Moor, co. Lincoln,
19 December 1764; he was presented by the College 22 December 1773 to the
606 APPENDIX.
Eectory of Medbourne with Holt, co. Leicester, and instituted 26 December. He
then ceded Thornton. He was instituted Vicar of Stapleford, co. Leicester, 16 April
1774, on the presentation of Robert, fourth Earl of Harborough. On 12 April 1774
he obtained a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Medbourne
with Stapleford, the respective values being given as £220 and £60, and their
distance apart not more than four measured miles. He held both livings until his
death. The Parish Reejister of Medbourne contains the following entry with regard to
his children: " Sherard, son of the Rev. Thomas Todington, Rector, and Frances his
wife, was baptized 9 April 1776." A daughter Frances was baptized 28 October 1777.
In the chancel of Medbourne Church is a mural tablet with the following inscription:
"Near this place are deposited | the remains of the Rev. | Thomas Todington B.D. ]
who was several years Fellow of St | John's College in Cambridge; and | late
Rector of this parish, and Vicar of Stapleford in this | County. He died March the
29, 1787 I in the 55th year of his age. | Also the remains of Mrs Frances Toding-

John Touchet Chetwode, his eldest son, married in 1756 Dorothy, third daughter
and coheiress of Thomas Bretland of Thorncliff, co. Chester. He was High Sheriff
of Staffordshire from 27 January 1756 to 4 February 1757. He succeeded to the
baronetcy on the death of his father 15 November 1766. He had eight children,
only one of whom survived him at his death 25 May 1779 (Betham, Baronetage, iii,

Kirkharle; he was instituted Vicar of Whelpington 10 August 1786, both in
Northumberland. He held both livings until his death. He is said i% have been
a learned man and much respected (Nichols, Literary Illustrations, v, 125, where
there is an extract from a poem "a Latin epistle in verse, addressed to him by a
learned divine and dignitary of the church, on his induction to the Vicarage of
Kirk Whelpington"). He was buried in the chancel of Kirkharle church where
there is a tablet with the following inscription: "M. S. Galfridi Clarkson LL.B.
hujus et vicinae apud Velpintoniam ecclesiae ministri fidelis, benevoli, pii ; amici
comis et benigni ; rarae urbanitatis et fidei viri ; sacris humanisque Uteris ornatis-

P. 136 no. 27. James Allen was born at Gayle, in Wensleydale, 24 June 1734.
He did not graduate, residing only a year in College. He is stated to have been
educated under the care of a clergyman for the Established Church and to have
been removed to Scorton School, near Richmond, Yorks., but this it will be observed
does not agree with the College Register. During his school life James Allen often
heard the preachers connected with Benjamin Ingham, or Mr Ingham himself,
and became attached to them and their doctrine. Ingham had left the Church of
England in 1732 and at first joined the Methodists. He accompanied the Wesleys
to Georgia, and on his return joined the Moravian Brethren. He afterw^ards became
one of Lady Huntingdon's preachers. In 1760 he came under the influence of the
writings of Glas and Sandeman, and incorporated some of their views with his
own. His followers were called Inghamites; they were Independents in Church
discipline, but insisted on some minor pecuUarities in doctrine and practice.
James Allen became one of these Inghamites in 1752, and soon became like his
leader a zealous and useful itinerant preacher. It is recorded that on one occasion
being in danger from the mob at Kirkby-Lonsdale, he was delivered by the timely
arrival of a magistrate who was an old College friend. In 1761, Allen went to
Scotland, in company with Messrs Batty, to make enquiry concerning the churches
founded liy Glas and Sandeman. Impressed with what he had seen, Allen urged
Ingham to adopt the new methods, but as Ingham was not prepared to do all that
he wished, he retired with many others from his connexion. At first he joined
the Sandemanians, but subsequently he left them and built a chapel on his own
estate at Gayle, where he continued to minister until his death in 1804. His
doctrine as well as his discipline, he says, received some modification.
James Allen was the editor and principal contributor to what is called "The
Kendal Hymn Book." The exact title taken from Charles Wesley's smaller col-
lection was: A collection of hymns for the use of those that have found Redemption in
the Blood of Christ, Kendal 1757, 8vo. [by J. A. and C. B., i.e. James Allen and
Christopher Batty]. The number of hymns was 142, of which James Allen con-
tributed 71. The third edition contained a few additional hymns ; and after his
settlement at Gayle, Allen published seventeen hymns, entitled Christian Songs.
Several of these hymns of Allen's have been widely adopted in various collections
(Josiah Miller, Our Hymns, their Authors and Origin, 210).

his brother. He died at Bifrons 6 December 1798 {Gentleman's Magazine, 1798, ii,
1059). The date of his death is also given as 8 and 15 December. Mr Taylor is
described as "a man of an enlarged intercourse with society, who had lived some
years in Germany and Italy, and whose name may be found both in the domestic
tours and foreign travels of Mr Arthur Young" (Nichols, Literary Illustrations, vi,
754-5; Sidebotham, Memorials of the King's School, Canterbury, 72-3; Berry,

APPENDIX. 609
of Durham authenticated a testimonial directed to the Bishop of Oxford for the
Rev. Mr Horseman, Curate of Houghton-le-Spring. His name first appears in the
Registers at Soulderne in April 1773. He was an active and good man of business,
but he employed himself more in secular and extra-parochial matters than in the
due oversight of his parish. His reputation stood high as a land-valuer, and he
was therefore largely employed as an Inclosure Commissioner, at a time when many

Stoke Lyne and Fewcot in the same year ; Wiggenton, 1796 ; Lower Heyford, 1802,

Ursula died 19 April 1803. There is a tablet to their memory recording these

APPENDIX. 611
Lord of the Bedchamber to King George UI, 4 May 1782 ; F.S.A., 28 April 1784 ;
created Marquis of Bath, 25 August 1789 ; Member of the Board of Agriculture,
31 August 1793. He died, 19 November 1796. He married, 22 May 1759, Lady
Elizabeth Cavendish Bentinck, eldest daughter of William, second Duke of Port-
land ; she died 12 December 1825 (Doyle, Official Baronage of England, i, 115 ;
iii, 650). Horace Walpole in his Memoirs of the Reign of King George the Third
gives several pictures of Lord Weymouth. " He was a prompt and graceful
speaker of a few apt sentences, which, coming from a young and handsome figure,
attracted more applause than they merited. Yet, considering the Ufe he led, his
parts must naturally have been good ; for sitting up nightly, gaming and drinking
till six in the morning, and rising thus heated after noon, it was extraordinary that
he was master of himself, or of what little he knew. His great fortune he had
damaged by such profuse play that his house was often full of bailiffs ; and he had
exposed himself to receive such pressing letters and in such reproachful terms,
that his spirit was as much doubted, as what is called his point of honour among
gentlemen-gamesters. He was in private a clear and sound reasoner, and good-
humoured, under a considerable appearance of pride ; but having risen on such
slender merit, he seemed to think he possessed a sufficient stock, and continued his
course of life to the total neglect of the affairs of his oflice"...(Vol. iii, 135-6).
" He was tall, handsome, and from a German education, solemn and proud in his
outward deportment. His look spoke absences, and nothing in his ostensible
appearance discovered a sjTnptom of the quickness, cunning, and dissoluteness
within. A perfect insensibility produced constant and facile good humour ; yet his
bent brow and constitutional pride indicated no pleasantry or social mirth. His
parts were strong, his conception ready, his reasoning acute, his delivery short and
perspicuous. His parts must have been very strong, to be capable of emerging from
his constant drunkenness and dissipation ; for though he had been well instructed,
had a retentive memory, and a head admirably turned to astronomy and mechanics,
he abandoned all improvement so entirely, that it was wonderful how he gleaned
so much common knowledge of politics as embellished his short speeches, and for
a quarter of an hour in every debate infused into him aptness and propriety. The
becoming decency and dignity of his appearance was all the homage he paid to
public opinion. He neither had nor affected any solid virtue. He was too proud
to court the people, and too mean not to choose to owe his preferments to the favour
of the Court or the cabals of faction. He wasted the whole night in drinking, and
the morning in sleep, even when Secretary of State. No kind of principle entered
into his plan or practice; nor shame for want of it. He ruined his tradesmen
without remorse, and, if that was an excuse, without thought ; and with equal
indifference frequently saw bailiffs in his house ; for pride is a constitutional
stoicism, independent of circumstances. With as little sense of fashionable as of
real honour, he had often received letters with demands for gaming debts, written in
a style that even such gentlemen seldom endure without resentment. Taciturnity,
except with his bacchanalian companions, was his favourite habit, because it
harmonized with his prodigious indolence ; and ambition, though his only passion,
could not surmount his laziness, though his vanity made him trust that his abilities,
by making him necessary, could reconcile intrigue and inactivity. His timidity
was womanish, and the only thing he did not fear was the ill opinion of mankind "
(Vol. iv, 239 — 241 ; see also ii, 176). There is a monument to his memory in the
chapel of the Thynne family in the Church of Longbridge Deverill, Wilts, with the
following inscription : " Sacred to the Memory of the Most Honourable Thomas,
Marquis of Bath, Viscount Weymouth, Baron Thynne of Warminster, and Knight
of the most noble order of the Garter. This much-respected nobleman served their
Majesties in the following high and honourable employments : as one of the Lords
of the Bedchamber to the King, from the year 1760 to 1765 ; Master of the Horse to
the Queen from 1763 to 1767 ; one of his Majesties principal Secretaries of State,
20 Jani^ry 1768 to 19 December 1770, and again from 10 November 1775 to 26
November 1779 ; and as Groom of the Stole, from 1782 until his death ; elected a
Knight of the Garter, 1778, and created a Marquis, 1789. He was born 13 Septem-
ber 1734, succeeded his father. Viscount Weymouth 12 January 1751, and married,
22 May 1759, Elizabeth Cavendish Bentinck, daughter of William, Duke of Port-
land, by whom he had four sons and ten daughters, of which number three sons
and five daughters survived him. He died, 19 November 1796" (Hoare, History of
Modern Wiltshire, i, Hundred of Heytesbury, 43).

Kirkbramwith (valued at £250), the two livings being not more than 29 miles apart.
He died 6 February 1799. From the general confidence in his great integrity and
by means of small sums intrusted to him, he is supposed to have relieved more
debtors from prison than any other individual in the kingdom {Gentleman's Maga-
zine, 1799, 172 6; 345 a). He was buried in the church of Barwick, a plain stone
inscribed "R. D. ob. 1799" marks his grave and a mural tablet in the chancel
bears the inscription: "Sacred to the memory of the Rev. Robert Deane, B.D.,
25 years Rector of this Parish. This venerable man, learned, pious, humble, and
beneficent, lived the delight of his friends, the ornament of Christianity and the
father of his flock. He died in peace Feb. 6, 1799, aet. 65. Erected by his
affectionate relict H. Deane." He seems to have resided constantly at Barwick,
his name is never absent from the Registers for many days together.

P. 138 no. 23. John Richardson was ordained Deacon 14 March 1756 and
licensed to the curacy of Chedleton, co. Stafford, with a salary of £25, he was
ordained Priest 25 September 1757, all by the Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield.
He was afterwards appointed to the curacy of Leek, co. Stafford. In that place he
is said to have fallen into some levities inconsistent with his profession, which he
afterwards lamented with much sorrow. From thence he removed into Sussex and
was appointed Curate to the Dean of Battle. Here he came under the influence of
the Methodists. It is stated that " he was more serious in his deportment, and
discharged the duties of his calling with integrity and conscientiousness, and
though he had not then evangelical views of religion, yet his sermons were so
serious, and delivered with so much earnestness, that he attracted the notice of the
Dean, and was surrounded with opposition and discouragement." He then
removed to a curacy at Ewhurst, near Eye in Sussex, becoming more and more
attracted to the tenets of the Methodists, finally joining that body in 1762. He
became Minister of the Meeting House in Artillery Lane, Spitalfields, which he
seems to have held until his death 11 February 1792. He published several
Sermons, some of those ascribed to him in the British Museum Catalogue, if the
dates are correctly given, are of too early a date to be his. The following are
probably by him : The Sovereign Goodness of the Most High in putting an end to
destructive wars gratefully acknowledged : a sermon [on Ps. xlvi. 8-10] preached
5 May 1763, the day appointed by his Majesty for a solemn thanksgiving to Almighty
God on account of the Peace, London, 1763, 8vo. ; Tlte Death of Great and Good
Kings improved; Being the substance of a Sermon [on Isa. vi. 1-3] preached October
26, 1760, the day after the demise of King George II.... note published with some

He is probably the Rev. John Thompson who died at Blythe, Notts., 8 May 1810,
aged 76, having been for 48 years chaplain to the late Mr Ridley and Sir M. W.
Ridley, bart.; he "was esteemed one of the best Hebrew scholars in the North of

for some time second master of the Grammar School at Bridgenorth and afterwards
succeeded his father in a school at Downton in the parish of Upton Magna. He
was nominated by the College to be third master of Shrewsbury School
8 December 1763. He was promoted to be second master in 1771. He was
instituted Vicar of St Chad's in Shrewsbury 10 November 1775, and held the
living with his mastership until his death. He was buried at Upton Magna, and in
the church there there is a monument with the following inscription: " Sacred to
the memory of | the Reverend Thomas Humphries, A.M. | Vicar of St Chad's and
second master | of the Grammar School in Shrewsbury | Who after a good and
useful life | spent in the strict discharge of his ministerial duties | But more
especially in an unremitted attention | to the several wants of the ignorant and
necessitous | Died the 22nd October 1783 in the 54th year of his age | His
reasoning powers being suddenly restored | from a delirium of eight days | the
fatal effect of a bilious fever | He, a few moments before he expired | In the
presence of his afflicted family | emphatically pronounced the following words: I
' You must all be in my place, but | if you have religion ye will be comforted.' |
May ye who read the above lines | derive lasting instruction | from the awful truths
contained in them. | Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord | For they rest from
their labours, and their | works follow them."
Mr Humphries was three times married: (i) to Anne, daughter of Thomas
Baxter of Bridgenorth ; (ii) to Mary, daughter of the Rev. John Latham, Vicar of

Ulnesby or Ousby 24 January 1766, both in Cumberland. On 20 January 1766,
when he is described as chaplain to John, Duke of Roxburgh, he received a
dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold both livings, then stated to
be of the respective values of £95 and £100 and to be 26 miles apart. Both livings
•were vacant in 1784.
The following inscriptions from the church at Windermere give some further
information with regard to Mr Raincock and his descendants: (1) (church floor)

land, and the youngest brother of the late Rev. John Fleming, who died at Rayrigg
January 22, 1820, ajijed 41 years." (2) (In north aisle) " Sacred to the memory of

P. 138 no. 28. Henry Turner was admitted a Fellow of the College 25 March
1760. He was ordained Deacon 24 September 1758 and licensed to the curacy of
Upton, Bucks., by the Bishop of Lincoln, and Priest by the Bishop of Ely
15 September 1760. He occurs as Minister of St Giles's, Cambridge, in 1763
{Cambridge Chronicle, 30 April). He was a candidate for the Rectory of Ovington
in the gift of the University but was defeated by John Jebb, Fellow of Peterhouse,
who had 81 votes against Turner's 73 (Cambridge Chronicle, 20 October 1764;
Cooper, Annals of Cambridge, iv, 336). He was instituted Vicar of Shepreth, co.
Cambridge, 18 October 1768, but ceded this on his institution 24 March 1772 to the
Rectory of Burwell, co. Cambridge, to which he was presented by Lord Guildford.
He married Miss Lunn, niece of the Rev. Edward Lunn of Elsworth, co. Cambridge
{Cambridge Chronicle, 20 February 1773). He was instituted Rector of New-
market, Suffolk, 1 May 1782 on the presentation of the Duke of Rutland, holding
this with Burwell until his death on 11 January 1808, His widow Elizabeth died
26 October 1820, aged 87 (Cambridge Chronicle, 27 October 1820). His youngest
daughter Ann died 2 December 1843, aged 66 (ibid. 9 December 1843).
Cole has several notes on Mr Turner: Cole MSS. iii, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS.
5804, p. 116, there is the following in an account of Burwell. "Mr Turner of
St John's College, lately presented to the living of Burwell, told me this 12 May
1772, that he has totally pulled down these ruins [i.e. of the Church of Burwell
St Andrew] in order to make the Churchyard a more agreeable close for his horse.
In digging up the foundations he met with a stone coflin containing two bodies,
which coffin he told me lay North and South."
Again, in his collections for an Athenae Cantabrigienses (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS.
6882) he has the following note on 'Henry Turner of St John's College': " He was
son or grandson to Mr Tolner, for that was his real name, tho' Sir John Hawkins
in his History of Music, vol. iv, p. 356, calls him Turner, an Organ Builder at
Cambridge : but being a foreigner he assimilated his German name to one more
616 APPENDIX.
English. His son must be an ancient, as I remember his coming to Baberham
about 1730, to teach my sisters lessons on the harpsichord, my father playing well
on the violin. He died at Cambridge in 1776, in his house in Free School Lane, in
the Free School House, for in the schole I saw several of his organs, harpsichords
and spinets ; and I suppose used it as his workshop, the schole having been
neglected these many years : though when I went first to the University there was a
flourishing schole. The same has happened to the schole in King's College, which
was full of boys all the time I was in College and is now no more. Mr Turner
left children, two sons who are clergymen ; one was Fellow of St John's, and
married about 1772 and had the Vicarage of Burwell where he resides. Henry
Turner was Organist of St Margaret's, Westminster, in 1708. I suppose the above
person. Hawkins, History of Music, v, 101."
Again (MSS. Cole, vii, Addl. MSS. 5808, fol. 62 b, 63 i) he has "A letter from
Cole to Sylvanus Urban on Sir John Hawkins' History of Music. May 19, 1777 :
' At p. 356 of Vol. iv mention is made of Mr Turner, Organ Builder of Cambridge.
His real name was Tolner, but being a foreigner, he rather chose, or other people
for him, to assimilate his German name to one of a more English accent and
called himself Turner. Of this I had full proof, had I not been told so by his son,
who died at Cambridge this last year 1776, where he followed his father's occupa-
tion, was organist of St John's College, and a very deserving man : for in the
Register of St Edward's Church in Cambridge is this entry for old Mr Turner :
' 1730 Henry Tolner, alias Turner, the Organ Maker, was buried, September 9.
The late Mr Turner left several children, two of them clergymen'."
From these rather involved statements it seems that Henry Turner, the Fellow
of St John's, was son of Mr Bernard Turner, the College Organist. And Bernard
Turner the son of Henry Tolner the organ-builder.
Gunning in his Reminiscences, ii, 12, in giving an account of the University
Sermon at Burwell, incidentally mentions the name of the Vicar, Mr Turner.

mony of the regard which I had for the late Rev. Mr Ashcroft of St John's, and
in acknowledgement for the entertainment I have often received in his company,
I beg leave to observe by the channel of your paper, that he had a noble spirit
of benevolence, and such a pleasant humour, as could diffuse itself from the
highest person at an entertainment to the meanest waiter. Of the cheerful temper
Mr Addison observes, that it naturally produces love ami good will towards the
man who has it. A chearful mind is not only disposed to be affable and obliging,
but raises the same good humour in those that come within its influence. A man
finds himself pleased he does not know why, with the chearfulness of his com-
panion: it is like a sudden sunshine that awakens a secret delight in the mind,
without her attending to it. The heart rejoices of its own accord and naturally
flows out into friendship and benevolence for the person who has so kindly an
effect upon it. Amicus." The Parish Register of All Saints', Cambridge, has the
following entry: "1768, March 4, The Rev. Mr Thomas Ashcroft, M.A., late Fellow

P. 174 no. 27). John Fenwick graduated as Fenwicke, B.A. 1757, M.A. 1760. He
was born 16 September 1734. He was ordained Deacon 25 September 1757 and
licensed next day to the curacy of Hallaton, he was ordained Priest 24 December
1758, all by the Bishop of Lincoln. He succeeded his father as Rector of Hallaton,
CO. Leicester, being instituted 30 May 1760, and held the living until his death. On
a mural tablet in Hallaton church there is the following inscription : " Sacred to the
memory of | the Rev. John Fenwicke A.M. | who was nearly 29 years rector of |
this parish ; of whom it may truly | be said, that he fulfilled the duties | of a man
and a Christian. | He departed this life March 29, 1789 in the 55th year of his
age."
John Fenwicke was twice married ; first to Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas
Hickman, of Tinkwood Malpas, she died 26 April 1772. There is a monument to
her memory in Hallaton church. He married secondly Dorothea, daughter of
John Ouseley, of Hallaton. She died 26 January 1820 (Hodgson, History of North-
umberland, Part ii, vol. 2, p. 116, where there is a pedigree; Nichols, History of
Leicestershire, ii, 604).
P. 140 no. 14. Samuel Griffith was ordained Deacon 6 March 1757 and Priest
19 February 1758 by the Bishop of Rochester at Fulham, for the Bishop of London.
One of these names was instituted Vicar of Halesowen, co. Worcester, 8 February

this he held until 1796.
P. 140 no. 16. John Snaith was ordained Deac<m 25 September 1757 by the
Bishop of Peterborough, and Priest by the Archbishop of York 29 September 1759,
and was then licensed to the curacy of Kilnsea with Easington and Skeffling, with
a stipend of £32. There is a note in the Archbishop's Register to the efifect that
John Snaith had a verbal license on 1 September 1762 to be curate of Roose to
Dr Mark Sykes, Rector; he had been regularly licensed curate of Kayingham
26 September 1757.
John Snaith was instituted Vicar of Owthorne, Yorks., 22 February 1763, on
the presentation of King George III. He seems to have held the living until 1811.
He was instituted Vicar of Halsham 24 August 1768, ceding it in 1770, and he
was for some time Vicar of Sheckling with Burstwick, all in Yorkshire. On
14 July 1784, when he is described as chaplain to Francis, Lord Rawdon, he
had a dispensation to hold Owthorne (valued at £75) with Sheckling and Burstwick
(valued at £80), the two livings being stated to be not more than 8 miles apart.
Both seem to have been vacant in 1811.

Sussex. He resigned in 1763. He was instituted Vicar of Ferring 20 November
1766 and Vicar of Goring 4 May 1770, both in Sussex. He held both at his death
7 May 1812 [Gentlemari's Magazine, 1812, i, 602 a, where he is stated to have
been Vicar of Preston, Sussex, but this appears to be a mistake). On the south
wall of the nave of Ferring church is a tablet with this inscription : " In memory
of Anne, wife of the Rev. James Penfold, Vicar of this Parish, who departed this
life the 13th June 1769 in the 31st year of her age. Oh ! Reader be wise in time,
and suffer the great realities of that awful state into which thou must very shortly

parish of St George's, Hanover Square, Middlesex, gentleman, deceased, was
admitted a student of the Inner Temple 11 September 1750. It appears probable
that this is Charles Morris, eldest son of Roger Morris by his second wife, Elizabeth,
daughter of Sir Philip Jackson, knt., of Pontrylas, co. Hereford. He was born
9 January 1735 and died unmarried in Italy (Burke, Landed Gentry, Morris of
York ; he is there described as of Jesus College, Cambridge).

He died at Bexley 10 February 1808, aged 70. At the time of his death he had
been for 37 years Vicar of Bexley, and for 38 years one of the mathematical masters
of the Eoyal Military Academy at Woolwich {Gentleman'' s Magazine, 1808, i, 271 h).
P. 141 no. 3. Kichard Sutcliffe obtained the M.A. degree per literas Regias
in 1761. He may be the Richard Sutcliffe who was Master of Hipperholme
Grammar School and incumbent of Lightcliffe near Halifax.
P. 141 no. 4. Christopher Milles purchased the estate of Nackington, and died
in 1742. Kichard Milles was returned as M.P. for the City of Canterbury 27 March
1761, 17 March 1768 and 7 October 1774 ; he sat until 1780, but did not sit in the
next Parliament. He was one of the stewards at the Westminster School Anni-
versary in 1763. He married Mary daughter of Dr Thomas Tanner, D.D., pre-
bendary of Canterbury. They had an only daughter, Mary Elizabeth, who married
(i) 30 Nov. 178.5 the Hon. Lewis Thomas Watson, afterwards second Lord Sondes,
and (ii) Major-General Sir Henry Tucker Montresor. She died 29 September 1818
(Hasted, History of Kent, iii, 728 ; Peerage, under Lord Sondes).
P. 141 no. 6. Sir Alexander Gilmour was the only son of Sir Charles Gilmour
of Craigmiller, by his wife Jean, daughter of Sir Robert Sinclair of Longformacus.
He became an officer in the First Foot Guards. He accompanied his regiment
to France, and was taken prisoner there in September 1758. The Gentleman's
Magazine for 1758, p. 501, has the following note: "11 October 1758. Lord
Frederick Cavendish and Sir Charles Gilmore, bart., arrived at Court on their
paroles of honour to settle the exchange of prisoners," where Charles must be a
mistake for Alexander. Sir Alexander Gilmour was returned as M.P. for the
county of Edinburgh, at a by-election, 12 January 1761, and again at the general
election 9 April 1761. He was re-elected 2 January 1766 on his appointment as
one of the clerks of the household, and again 2 April 1768, sitting until 1774.
He lield his appointment as clerk-comptroller of the household, or clerk of
the green cloth until 1778. He died at Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, 27 De-
cember 1792. The Gentleman's Magazine for 1792, p. 1220, in announcing his
death states: "He married at a very early age and has left at least one son.
He had been periodically subject to gout, and in the last fit which was more violent
than usual, the English doctor who had been unluckily in London, did not return
in time to attend him. From some pecuniary embarrassments (which however he
had very nearly surmounted) Sir Alexander had lived in France many years, and
most of them at Boulogne." The statement as to his marriage and issue seems to
be incorrect, as most authorities agree iu stating that he died unmarried and that
with him the baronetcy became extinct (Burke, Extinct and Domumt Baronetcies,
623 ; Foster, Members of Parliament, Scotland, 148). I have seen advertised in a
catalogue of second-hand books " An Act to enable Sir Charles Gilmour, Bart., to
sell part of the Lands and Baronies of Craigmiller, co. Edinburgh, for payment
of debts, circa 1735."
P. 141 no. 7. This is the celebrated John Home, afterwards John Home Tooke.
John Home, third son of John Home, a poulterer in Newport Market, was born in
Newport Street, Westminster, 25 June 1736, and baptized next day (Parish Register
of St Anne's, Soho). In 1743 he was sent to a school in Soho Square, in 1744 he
was sent to Westminster School and in 1746 he went to Eton. In 1753 he was
with a private tutor at Sevenoaks in Kent, and in 1754 with a tutor at Kavenstone,
Northamptonshire. He took his degree as a senior optime in the Tripos of 1758.
It will be observed that he was sizar to Edwards Beadon (P. Ill no. 18), and that
Richard Beadon (P. 142 no. 16), afterwards Bishop of Bath and Wells, was in
622 APPENDIX.
Home's year. Kichard Beadon maintained his friendship with Home through all
the vicissitudes of his stormy career. John Home was admitted a student of the
Inner Temple 9 November 1756. He apparently then kept terms for some time,
making the acquaintance of two fellow students — John Dunning, afterwards Lord
Ashburton, and Lloyd Kenyon, afterwards Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench.
In deference to the wishes of his family, however, Home forsook the study of the
law for the Church. He was ordained Deacon 23 September 1759 by the Archbishop
of Canterbury in his chapel at Lambeth, and Priest 23 November 1760 by the
Bishop of Salisbury. For a short time after leaving College he was usher in
a private school at Blackheath, and after his ordination as Deacon held a curacy in
Kent. On 26 September 1760 he became perpetual curate of St Lawrence, New
Brentford, on the nomination of the Rector of Hanwell (Hennessy, Novum Reper-
torium, 195), the nomination had been purchased for him by his father. This
he held for thirteen years. In 1763-4 he travelled abroad as tutor to the son
of Elwes the miser. On returning to his living his biographer Stephens states
that Home worked hard in his parish, studying medicine and establishing a dis-
pensary for his poorer parishioners. He was drawn however into the vortex of
political controversy and contributed various articles to the Press, of which little
record remains. In 1765 he again travelled abroad as tutor to the son of a
Mr Taylor of Brentford. He made the acquaintance of Wilkes in Paris, visited
Voltaire in Geneva, and stayed some time with Philip Rosenhagen (P. 147 no. 2)
at Genoa. A portrait of Rosenhagen, in China ink, hung in Home's house at
Wimbledon many years afterwards. He returned to England in 1767, taking up
his clerical duties and seems to have been sought after as a popular preacher.
In 1768 he took up the cause of John Wilkes in the famous parliamentary election
for the county of Middlesex, and gave his money, energies and time freely to the
cause of that gentleman. He also published a pamphlet on some irregularities
in the judicial proceedings connected with the case of Doyle and Valline, two
Spitalfields weavers condemned to death. In 1769 he entered into a dispute with
George Onslow, Member for Surrey, who had at one time supported Wilkes and
afterwards taken office in the Grafton administration. The letters appeared in
the Public Advertiser, and were also issued in pamphlet form. This led to an
action for libel. Woodfall, the printer, acting under instructions gave up Home's
name as the author. The case came before Sir William Blackstone and ended
in a non-suit. A new trial was moved for in the King's Bench and was granted.
The case came before the Earl of Mansfield, Lord Chief Justice, and a verdict
was obtained against Home. From this he appealed to the Court of Common Pleas,
and in 1771 the verdict was set aside, on the ground of misdirection. This was a
great triumph for Home, who was the real director of the proceedings, and a rebuff
for Lord Mansfield.
Home is stated by Stephens to have drawn up the Address of remonstrance and
petition to the King, presented by the Lord Mayor (Beckford) and the Corporation
of London on the case of Wilkes. He took a part in founding the ' Society for
supporting the Bill of Rights.' He also took a prominent part in the proceedings
against a printer named Bingley, who was prosecuted for publishing a letter from
Wilkes reflecting on the administration of the Courts of Justice ; in this Home
again triumphed over Lord Mansfield. In 1771 he engaged in a long controversy
with Wilkes ; being taunted with having first supported and then attacked Wilkes,
he endeavoured to distinguish between Wilkes's private character and his public
position. It is doubtful whether Home appeared to advantage in the squabble,
public feeling was with Wilkes. The whole correspondence is printed at length by
Stephens. In 1771 Home came to Cambridge to take the M.A. degree. This was
opposed in the Senate on the ground that in his controversy with Wilkes he had
traduced the clergy. Cole gives the following brief account of the matter in his
collections for an Athenae Cantahrigienses (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5871, article
Home) : " This person is to he at Cambridge and to stay there some days. May 25,
1771, in order to take his degree. — He came down accordingly and great opposition
in the Senate on Monday, July 1, 1771 about granting it. However being sup-
ported by the Johnians, with Mr Beadon, the Orator, at their head, to every one's
surprize as he was lately made choice of by the Bishop of London, Terrick for his
chaplain, he carried it by a great majority. Lord Montfort and Mr Hubbard of
Emmanuel were at the head of the Non-Placets. It was said that he took his
Master's degree as a step to qualify him to plead at the Bar, being determined to
APPENDIX. 623
quit his cassock." Cole has also copied a letter from Cambridge printed in the
Morning Chronicle, 9 July 1771 (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5876, article Montfort).
This is printed in The Eagle, xx, 112-114. In after years Home referred to this
as one of the two struggles of his life, adding with regard to the M.A. degree : " a
great dog might obtain it if able to articulate the words probo aliter/' Within
a few days of this he was involved in a wrangle with ' Junius,' in which he did not
come off worsted. In 1773 Home resigned his benefice at Brentford and began to
study law with the view of being called to the Bar. These studies were interrupted
by a fresh dispute in which he took a leading part. He had formed a friendship
with a Mr William Tooke who had purchased an estate called Purley near
Wimbledon. Over this estate a Mr De Grey claimed certain manorial rights,
and with a view of settling all disputes in his favour had recourse to the decisive
expedient of an Act of Parliament. Tlie bill was undoubtedly unjust, but being
intiuentially supported seemed likely to pass, all opposition to it being stifled.
Mr Tooke summoned Home to his aid. Home took the daring step of inserting a
letter in the Public Advertiner which was iu effect, as it was intended to be, a gross
libel on the Speaker, Sir Fletcher Norton. The matter was at once raised in the
House of Commons as a question of privilege and Woodfall, the printer, on being
summoned to the bar at once gave the name of Mr Home as the author, adding
that he was present in the House. Home was brought to the bar and there stated
his case and explained his motives. He was remanded in custody, but his case
was too strong and he was discharged. His purpose was effected, the bill was
dropped, and steps taken to prevent the possibility of such an affair in future.
The war with the American Colonies had now broken out, and a • Society for
Constitutional Information ' got up a subscription for the widows and orphans of
colonists " inhumanly murdered by the King's troops at Lexington and Concord
in the province of Massachussets on the 13th of April last " (1775). Home, others
flinching, signed the appeal. The matter caused some stir, but the Ministry took
no proceedings against Home till July 1777, when he was tried before Lord Mans-
field for libel, found guilty, sentenced to imprisonment for a year, to be fined and
to find sureties for good behaviour. He was imprisoned in the King's Bench
prison. During his imprisonment he published his Letter to John Dunning on
the English Particle, dated from the King's Bench prison 21 April 1778. In this
commenting on the arguments against him, he complained that he had been made
the "miserable victim of two prepositions and a conjunction." Of this pamphlet
Dr Samuel Johnson expressed his approval, saying to Mr Seward " Were 1 to write
a new edition of my Dictionary, I would adopt several of Mr Home's etymologies :
I hope they did not put the dog in the pillory for his libel ; he has too much
literature for that."
On coming out of prison he kept his terms and applied to the Inner Temple for
his call to the Bar. This, after two applications, was refused on account of his
Orders. He now purchased an estate at Witton near Huntingdon and took to
farming, the capital being supplied with money obtained from the sale of his
benefice and a bequest from his father. This however he soon abandoned and
returned to London. In 1782 he took up the question of Parliamentary Reform.
He now also assumed the additional name of Tooke, being designated the heir of
Mr William Tooke. In 1786 he published the first volume of Eirea \\Ttp6tvTa.
or the Divemiom of Purley, a philological work of merit and value. This was
dedicated to the University of Cambridge and to Dr Bichard Beadon, then Master
of Jesus College. He also published some other works, but as Stephens his
biographer pointedly remarks ' took no part whatsoever ' in the trial of Warren
Hastings; perhaps the only public question of his time of which this could be
said. In 1790 he stood as a candidate for the representation of Westminster,
opposing Lord Hood and Mr Fox. He was unsuccessful. In 1794 he was arrested
on a charge of high treason. The Ministry had employed spies to learn the real
sentiments of suspicious political characters. One of these attached himself to
Home Tooke, who deluded and duped him. But the joke was serious and he was
committed to the Tower. (His diary while in prison is printed in Note« and
Queries, 8 Ser. xi, 22, 61, 103, 162.) He was tried at the Clerkenwell Sessions and
acquitted, Erskine being his counsel. In 1796 he again stood for Westminster
against Mr Fox and Admiral Sir Alan Gardner. After a poll extending over
15 days he was defeated. One curious incident being that Wilkes appeared on
the first day and gave Home Tooke his sole vote. On 14 February 1801, however.
624 APPENDIX.
Home Tooke was returned to Parliament as M.P. for the borough of Old Sarum,
on the nomination of Lord Camelford. As Home Tooke had always denounced
the ' borough mongers ' this return caused some amusement, and it was asserted
that Lord Camelford's butler and steward nominated the member for Old Sarum.
Stephens however with some trouble ascertained that six electors had voted for
Home Tooke. Their names as a matter of fact appeared in The Times of
23 February 1801 and were reprinted in The Times of 22 February 1901. He
took his seat and the oaths on February 16. Objection was at once taken to him
on the ground of his Orders, and an enquiry into the matter was held by the
House. He was in the end not excluded, but an Act was passed declaring clergy-
men ineligible for future parliaments. He held his seat for little over a year,
vacating at the dissolution in 1802. In 1803 he succeeded to the estate of
Mr William Tooke and took up his residence at Purley, where he resided till
his death. In 1805 he published the second part of his Diversions of Purley.
His health now began to fail, and he suffered from gout and other disorders. His
mind remained active till the end. He died at Wimbledon 18 March 1812. He
had wished to be buried in his own garden, and had prepared a tomb with an
inscription. But his executors thought that this might diminish the value of the
property, and he was buried in a private vault in the old churchyard at Ealing,
where there is the following inscription to his memory: "John Home Tooke, late
of Wimbledon, Author of the Diversions of Purley, was born June 1736 and died
March 18, 1812, contented and happy" {Notes and Queries, 3 Ser. vi, 88). During
his last illness he destroyed a vast quantity of manuscripts and correspondence,
including the third part of his philological work and a treatise on Moral Philosophy
in express opposition to that of Archdeacon Paley.
Home was no doubt a very complex personality. He was of unquestionable
service to the cause of public justice and popular rights. If his methods were not
always beyond criticism, he was superior to all sordid self-interest. Before he took
the matter up debates in Parliament were supposed to be private, and no report of
the speeches, except in fictitious form, had appeared. He organised the scheme
whereby several printers nearly simultaneously published reports of some of the
debates, and in consequence of his exertions and influence with the magistrates,
they were able to brave and elude the utmost exertions of the House to punish
them. He was treated with some injustice, his speculations and projects were
more moderate than they appeared to his contemporaries, and his consistency
at least was undoubted and one of the principal causes of the opprobrium with
which the time-serving politicians of the day loaded him.
Of Home Tooke, a portrait was painted by Brumpton in 1777, when he was
a prisoner in the Kules of the King's Bench. Sir Francis Burdett had a bust of him
by the elder Bacon ; this was intended as a present for St John's College ; it,
however, never came to the College. Another bust was modelled by Chantrey
during Home's last illness. A portrait of him by S. Percy appeared in the
Exhibition of 1803. The chief authority for Home Tooke's life is his Memoirs,
published in two volumes by Alexander Stephens in 1813 ; there is a useful
criticism in The Eclectic Revieic, x, 289-304 and 402-424. See also Dictionary of
National Biography. In addition to the publications mentioned above the following
works were published by him : (i) 'The Petition of an Englishman ; witli which are
given a copper plate of the Croix de St Pillonj ; and a ti-ueand accurate plan of some
part of Kew Gardens, London, 1765, 4to. ; (ii) A Sermon on Eriendship (Ps. Iv. 12,
13), London, 1769 ; (iii) Genuine Copies of all the Letters which passed between the
Lord Chancellor and the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, (&c., relative to the
execution of Doyle and Valline, London, 1770 ; (iv) Eacts concerning tlie War,
addressed to the landholders, stockholders, merchants, &c., of Great Britain, 1780,
with Dr Price ; (v) A letter [to Lord Ashburton] on Parliamentary Reform, contain-
ing a sketch of the plan, London, 1782 ; (vi) A letter to a friend on the reputed
marriage of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, London, 1787 ; (vii) Tioo pair
of portraits [Chatham and Holland ; Pitt and Fox] presented to all the unbiassed
Electors of Great Britain, and especially to the Electors of Westminster, London, 1788.
P. 142 no. 8. Cole in his collections for an Athenae Caritabrigienses (Brit. Mus.
Addl. MSS., 5869) has the following notes on Stephen Fovargue.
" This gentleman is of French extraction, from the colony of Walloons, at
Thorney, in the Isle of Ely, and is son, if I mistake not, of a clergyman at Upwell
or Outwell. He is a man, as I am told, of a good person, hasty and passionate,
APPENDIX. 626
and of an amorous complexion, which have brought his moral character into some
discredit. In January, 1770, he horsewhipped, and with a kick in his belly, so
maltreated a poor man, a Jip as we call them of the College, one Thomas Goode,
who ran on errants in the College and looked after his horse, that the man, who
had been in a very ill state of health for some time, died on Tuesday, February 6th,
1770 ; and dying told Dr Ewin's coachman, that he died of the wounds he received
from Mr Fovargue. Hereupon a jury was summoned, and Messrs Dr Plumtre,
Professor of Physic, Hales and Thackeray, Surgeons, attended, who all declared that
there was no sign of any internal bruise which might occasion his death. I was at
Cambridge that day. The gentleman, however, thought proper to abscond, and still
continues to do so, February 14, though the Statutes of the College are favourable
to him, expulsion from his Fellowship being only for Homicidmm Volutitarium ;
and we cau't suppose him such a villain as to mean to kill the jwor man. Mr
Fovargue has not appeared yet to take his trial, being apprehensive of a Cambridge
Jury from his known ill character : it is supposed that he was half mad, as his
actions always discovered such a disposition. I write this September 28, 1771.
"He went into France, and at Paris was -forced to submit to play a common
violin to strollers, and reduced to the utmost misery and distress ; being outlawed
his Fellowship was declared void, and his tenants of a small estate were fearful to
pay their rent, as it might be demanded elsewhere ; so rather than slave he came
to Cambridge on Saturday or Friday, 26 or 27, and went to the Vice-Chancellor to
surrender himself, who referred him to the Mayor, and was accordingly sent to the
Castle, where he will be forced to lie till August, as being an outlaw, he can't have
his trial next approaching Assizes. He came to Cambridge in long dirty ruffles,
his hair tied up with a piece of pack-thr^d, and in a sailor's jacket, and yellow

" In July, 1774, at the Assizes at Cambridge, he was acquitted on the depositions

be found."
Cole adds : " A new Catalogue of Vulgar Errors by Stephen Fovargue, A.M.,
Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge, Cambridge 8vo., 1767, Pr. 2s. 6d. Pages
202, besides a Preface and Introduction of 8. It is a book of no value and has the
mark of a flighty writer throughout : not the least part of the book is on music and
sporting, viz. shooting and dogs and game.
" In 1775 he sold what little estate he had to Mr Squire of Peterborough, who told
me of it, for an annuity, and died soon after in London."

Stephen Fovargue was ordained Deacon 23 September 1759 by the Bishop of
Peterborough. He was admitted a Fellow of the College 25 March 1760. He was
ordained Priest by the Bishop of Lincoln 20 September 1760. He was elected
Junior Bursar of the College 27 February 1768 and held the office until 1770. It
will be observed that Cole states that Fovargue died in London, but the
Cambridge Chronicle, 24 June 1775, states that he died in Bath. And the Parish
Register of St James', Lath, has this entry among the burials : " 1775, June 6, The
ReV Mr Stephen Fovague" (sic), {The Genealogist, N. S., ix, 110).
The College Admonition Book contains the following entry with regard to him :
"Whereas in the month of February, 1770, Stephen Fovargue, B.D., then
a Fellow of St John's College in the University of Cambridge, did depart from the
said College, and soon after went out of the Kingdom, without the consent of the
Master and Senior Fellows, or of the Master only, and without appointing a sponsor ;
and whereas the said Stephen Fovargue was on the 20th day of April, 1771, cited
and required by us, the Master and Senior Fellows of the said College, to appear
before us within forty days from the said twentieth day of April, and particularly on
the twenty-ninth day of May then next following, in the Hall of the said College ;
and whereas the said Stephen Fovargue was on the 6th day of July last again
cited and required by us, to appear before us within twenty days from the said six^h
day of July, and particularly on the twenty-sixth day of the said month in the Hall
of the said College ; and whereas the said Stephen Fovargue was on the 27th
day of October last a third time cited and required by us, to appear before us within
the said College within sixty days from the said twenty-seventh day of October, and
particularly to appear in the Hall of the said College on the twenty-sixth day of
626 APPENDIX.
December then next following ; and in all the beforementioned citations the said
Stephen Fovargue was required to show us cause why his Fellowship should not
be declared to have been vacant from the expiration of eighty days from the day of
his absenting himself from the said College, and also to show us cause why his
Fellowship should not be declared to be vacant at the time of such citation, and
also to show us cause, why we should not at the next usual and customary time of
election of Fellows, or at some other time elect another person into his place or
room ; And whereas the said Citations and summonses were duly published by all
the usual ways and means, and were well known to the said Stephen Fovargue,
but the said Stephen Fovargue did not at any of the times therein prescribed, nor
at any other time, appear, nor by himself or any other person, allege any cause for
his not appearing ; And whereas the said Stephen Fovargue has been found guilty
by the coroner's inquest of voluntary homicide, and has been indicted by the (irand
Jury of the County of Cambridge of wilful murder, and whereas the said Stephen
Fovargue has been five times required at the Sheriff's Court to surrender and take
his trial but has not appeared, and is now either outlawed or subject to an outlawry :
Now we the Master and Senior Fellows of the said College, having considered all the
circumstances before recited, and the several clauses in our Statutes relating to
cases of this kind, do adjudge, that the said Stephen Fovargue has absented himself
with an intention of quitting his studies here, and that he has brought very great
scandal upon the College, and we further adjudge that he has forfeited and lost his
Fellowship in the said College, and we declare his Fellowship to be vacant, and
order his name to be taken out of our books. Given under our hands this 5th day
of July 1772.

G. Ashby, W. Fairclough,
J. Mainwaring, R. Beadon,
J. Chevallier, T. Ferris."
The following Orders were also made with regard to the Dividend of his
Fellowship :
" 29 January 1771. (After declaring the dividend of the year). Agreed that no
share of the said dividend be assigned to Mr Fovargue till his case be more known
and considered.
" 6 July 1772. Whereas there is some difference of opinion about the time when
Mr Fovargue's fellowship should have been declared vacant, it is agreed to allow
him the dividend to 27 December last, being the last day upon which he was
summoned to appear, either as a gift or as due to him."

deep sense of his worth, and their heartfelt sorrow for their loss, his parishioners
have caused this monumental tablet to be erected. We saw in him benevolence
tempered with discretion, zeal controlled by sober judgment, piety adorned with
simplicity approaching to almost that of the apostolic age." Below is sculptured

was elected Bishop of Bath and Wells 8 May 1802 and confirmed 2 June. He
then ceded his Prebend and Rectories. He died at Bath 21 April 1824, aged 87,
and was buried in Wells Cathedral 30 April. Dr Beadon married 18 August 1778
at Dittou, Rachel, daughter of Dr John Gooch, Rector of Ditton and Prebendary
of Ely (Cambridge Chronicle, 22 August 1778). Cole in bis collections for an
Athenae Cantahrigienses has the following with regard to Beadon: "Orator of
the University and made no small figure in that office at the Installation of his
Grace the Duke of Grafton in 1769, in a very animated and sensible speech on
the occasion. He seems to be a weakly man of a thin, spare, habit of body.
Chancellor of St David's, Archdeacon of London, Rector of Orsett and Stanford
Rivers, where he built a new house in 1777 ; his predecessor Lancaster leaving it
dilapidated and nothing to recover. On 19 August 1778, Dr Gooch's birthday, he
called on me on his way to his residence at Ely to tell me that his daughter Rachel
was just then married to Mr Beadon at Ditton by his nephew John Gooch, and
that the new married couple were set out for Stanford Rivers. He shewed me a fine
gold-headed cane with J. G. on the top, just given him by his son-in-law, who told
him that as he had deprived him of one of his staves, it was but fair and reasonable
to give him another. 13 November 1778, Friday, he resigned the Oratorship, when
the Vice-Chancellor appointed Wednesday the 18th for the choice of a successor,
when it is thought Mr Pearce of St John's will succeed, Mr Cook of King's having
quitted his pretensions on a foresight of disappointment ; was within a vote of the
Mastership against Dr Chevallier and would have filled that post with dignity.
Dr Caryll dying at Canterbury, aged 74, of the gout in the stomach, on Monday
18 June 1781, the Bishop of Ely, who was thought to be in danger of dying of
a dropsy, made haste to provide him of the Mastership of Jesus College, and so
acquit himself of his many and great obligations to Bishop Gooch, whose son
Dr John Gooch could never get anything but shuffling from him, refusing him the
Chancellorship, Archdeaconry and a Prebend in Ely, which the Doctor had asked
for Dr Beadon. The College was afraid Dr Watson or Dr Hallifax, neither of
them popular in the University, would have been sent to them and seemed well
pleased with Dr Beadon's appointment. He was installed Master 28 June 1781."
A fragment of Beadon's speech on presenting the Duke of Grafton is printed
in Cradock's Memoirs, i, 151. Gilbert Wakefield {Memoirs, i, 132) referring to
Beadon as Public Orator says: " which office I have heard him discharge with an
excellent elocution, and a latinity, easy, elegant and copious." Cole in his collec-
tions (MSS. Cole xxi, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. fol. 28 b) has a list, given to him by
Mr (afterwards Sir Isaac) Pennington of how each Fellow of the College voted at
the election of a Master on 15 April 1775. At the first scrutiny, 21 voted for
Chevallier, 17 for Beadon and 3 for Ogden. At a second scrutiny Ogden's sup-
porters gave their votes to Beadon. Considerable pressure was exerted in Beadon's
favour; Lords North and Sandwich, and Dr Brownlow North, Bishop of Winchester,
with other Prelates being very active in his favour. Dr Beadon was for some time
tutor to the Duke of Gloucester, which is said to have led to his preferments. He
only published two sermons: (i) A Fast-day Sermon preached before tlie Lords
Spiritual and Temporal in Westminster Abbey 19 April 1793, 4to. ; (ii) A Sermon
before the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, 4to.
Dr Beadon's mother, Mary, was a daughter of the Rev. Edward Squire, Rector
of Oakford, he was thus related to Mrs Newcome, wife of Dr Newcome, Master of
St John's, and to Dr Samuel Squire, Bishop of St David's (Hardy's Le Neve, i,
148, 442; ii, 325, 409, 432; Hennessy, Novum Repei-toriurn, 7, 37, "47, xviii; Mayor-
Baker, History of St John's College, ii, 729-30).

death in 1755, to hold it in trust for Mr Lawson Shan, then a minor at St John's
College, Cambridge, and second son to Mr John Shan, Vicar of Chieheley. By
reason of a doubt in relation to the right of patronage between Mr Andrews of
Buckingham, guardian to his son, who is in the Entail of the Estate after Mr Henry
Uthwat's widow, and the said Mrs Uthwat, who has the estate for life by the will
of her late husband, and so claims the patronage for her time; whence Mr Andrews
has put in a caveat against her Presentation. The Bishop has refused to accept of
Mr Chapman's resignation, which has been offered, but I was told by Dr Forester
this week that the Bishop upon being informed of the state of the case designs to
accept forthwith of Mrs Uthwat's presentation of Mr Shan. Feb. 23, 1760, W. C."
At fol. 93 h, Cole gives the following letter from the Bishop of Lincoln addressed to

Buckden, Octob. 8, 1759.
Rev'i Sir,
I have receiv'd your resignation of the Parish Church of Great Linford
in the County of Bucks and in my Diocese, drawn up in due form of law and
sign'd and seal'd by you and attested by two credible witnesses. By this absolute
and entire resignation of your Living into my hands, you have honestly and
honourably discharged the obligation of your Bond ; but your engaging to procure
my acceptance of the said Resignation is illegal, as being out of your power to
perform and no man can be bound to an impossibility. This is therefore to acquaint
you. That I will not accept of your resignation till sufficient security be given to
me for Mr Lawson Shan's succeeding to the Rectory of Great Linford upon your
resignation being accepted ; for you are bound to resign only for the use of the
said Lawson Shan ; and I was determined not to accept of your resignation, but
for his use only ; and you must continue to hold the Rectory of Great Linford till
such time and assurance be given me that you shall be succeeded in that living by
the said Mr Lawson Shan. I am Sir,
Your affectionate Brother,
John Lincoln.
P.S. You mil signify to me that you have received this letter and acquainted
the Persons concerned with the contents of it.

and afterwards Viscount Macduff and Earl of Fife, was twice married. Lewis,
Louis, or Ludovic Macduff was his fourth son (or sixth, according to some
authorities) by his second wife Jean, daughter of Sir James Grant of Grant, bart.
The Hon. Ludovic Duff became a captain in the 8th regiment of Foot. He married
at Harwich 27 October 1767 Deborah, daughter of Griffith Davies, esq., but had no
issue. She died at Mr Duff's seat, Blervie, 19 March 1796. The Hon. Louis
Duff died 14 October 1811 in Craven Street, London (Archdale, Lodge's Peerage,
iii, 67 ; Wood's Douglas, Peerage of Scotland, i, 577 ; Gentleman's Magazine, 1811,

P. 144 no. 5. Robert Devereux Bateson (the father), gentleman, son and heir-
apparent of William Bateson of Bourton-on-the-Hill, co. Gloucester, esquire, was
admitted a student of the Inner Temple 13 June 1713. He matriculated at Oxford
from Brasenose College, 14 November 1710, aged 18.
Robert Bateson (the son), matriculated at Oxford from University Colleg6,
12 May 1752, aged 18 (Foster, Alumni Oxonienses). The father is called Robert B.
in the entry of his own and of his son's matriculation. He married Anne,
second daughter of Allen Cliffe, of Mathern, co. Worcester. Robert Bateson, the

younger, died without issue (Muskett, Suffolk Manorial Families, i, 120, where there
is a pedigree).
P. 145 no. 6. Rogers Holland, of Chippenham, Wilts., esquire, was admitted a

counties of Carnarvon, Merioneth, and Anglesey. He died at Chippenham 17 July
1761 (W. R. Williams, History of the Great Sessions in Wales, 114).
P. 145 no. 7. Thomas Jephson was many years master of the Grammar School
at Camberwell. He died 29 April 181.5, aged 75. The Gentleman's Magazine for
1815, i, 475 b, has the following with regard to him : " It may be truly said that he
was an honest and good man, strictly fulfilling the duties of his station in life;
for a more useful or better one could scarcely be passed, the major part of it being
spent in instilling the principles of moral rectitude into the minds of his pupils.
If it could with strict propriety be said of any human being, it may be of him,
' That he was a man in whom there was no guile.' Thomson must have had just
such another good creature in his eye when he described
'A little man, close button'd to the chin.
Broad cloth without, an honest heart within.'
This is not the language of adulation, but the dictates of truth ; and it is an old
scholar, feeling grateful for past kindnesses and attentions, that pays this little
tribute of respect. And many gentlemen in the City of London can bear testimony'
to the undeviating and incessant care that he bestowed upon their education, and
will drop the tear of affection and breathe the sigh of grateful recollection to his
memory." Some verses follow. Mr Thomas Jephson does not seem to have been
in orders.
P. 145 no. 8. John Sarraude, son of Moses Sarraude, of Duney, Wilts., plebeius,

chaplain to Hannah Sophia, Countess Dowager of Exeter, he received a dispensa-
tion to hold both Sutton and Elvington, there stated to be of the respective values

Welton Brinkhall in Lincoln Cathedral 8 August 1769, but ceded this on being
collated, 2 September 1773, to the Prebend of Leighton Buzzard in the same
Cathedral. With the exception of the Prebend which he resigned, he held all
his other preferments till his death. He died at Stoke Goldington and in the floor
of the chancel there there is a slab with this inscription : " Sacred to the memory
of the Revd. Rob. Dowbiggin, D.D., Sub-Dean of Lincoln and Rector of this Parish,
who died Nov. 19th 1794, aged 54 years" (Baker, History of Northamptonsliire,
i, 729; Hardy's Le Neve, ii, 41, 173, 230; Lipscombe, History of Buckinghamshire,
iv, 162, 355; Cambridge Chronicle, 29 November 1794; Gentleman'' s Magazine,
Ixviii, 353 6; ih. 1794, 1061a). Cole has the following notes on Robert Dowbiggin
in his account of the Rectors of Stoke Goldington (MSS. Cole xxxviii, Brit. Mus.
Addl. MSS. 5839, fol. 364 h) : " Robert Dowbiggin of St John's College in Cambridge,
son of a Vicar in Yorkshire of 25 li. per annum with several children, nephew
to Bishop Gi-een, who gave him the Mastership of St John's Hospital in Northamp-
ton, and would have given him the Chancellorship had he not been ashamed
to produce such a poor creature, as he is reported to be, into the world ; for I have
never seen him. He is married to an awkward wife, and was inducted into this
living in May 1766. — I saw him since at the Visitation of the Archdeacon at
Newport Pagnell, 17 June 1766, and seemingly never saw a poorer creature, both in
person, understanding and behaviour. He was then indeed more than ordinarily
elevated, being just then, about a week before, collated to a second good living of
between £200 and £300 per annum in Northamptonshire, vacant by the death
of Mr Meade, a native of Blechley and Prebendary of Lincoln. Mr Watson, Vicar
of Newport Pagnell, told me 24 June at Mr Barton's at Sherington, that Mrs Dow-
biggin was the Bishop's niece, and that her father was a blacksmith, who has
several other daughters, who may all reasonably hope to be as well provided for in
the Church as their elder sister. It is said he has the promise of the Registrarship
of Leicester on the death of Mr Hillesden Franks. The other living he holds with
this is called Wappenham, for which his Dispensation passed the Seals on Thursday
8 July 1766, being called chaplain to the Bishop of Lincoln. — I am since informed
by Mr Barton, March 1767, that the Bishop has given him the Registrarship of
Leicester. But that it is supposed he is forced to pay pensions out of his prefer-
ments towards the support of the Bishop's, or his own mother, or both, &c. — I have
since heard that Mrs Dowbiggin's father was a miller, and that he has other
daughters ; one of them was married about 1772 to Mr [John Wheeldon], Schole-
master at St Ives, to whom the Bishop presently gave a living."
P. 145 no. 12. Thomas Dade was ordained Deacon by the Archbishop of York
29 September 1759; the Archbishop's Register has the note: "Mr Dade's father
who nominated him to be his curate at Barmston dying before the ordination, he
had no regular title; but the Archbishop admitted him upon his assuring his
Grace that he had an estate of £64 per annum." He was ordained Priest by the
Bishop of Ely 15 February 1761, he to be chaplain to a regiment. He was insti-
tuted Rector of Middleton in Teesdale, co. Durham, 6 May 1774, on the presenta-
tion of the Earl of Darlington. He was then chaplain to the 20th Regiment of
Foot and also chaplain to Thomas, Lord Ducie (Cambridge Chronicle, 14 May
1774; Gentleman's Magazine, 1774, p. 239). He ceded Middleton on his institution
9 November 1778 to the Rectory of West Heslerton with the curacy of East
Heslerton annexed, and on 30 October 1784 he was instituted Vicar of Burton
Agnes with the Chapelry of Harpham annexed, on the presentation of Sir William
St Quintin, bart., both these benefices are in Yorkshire, he was empowered to hold
them together by dispensation 28 October 1784, the value of West Heslerton being
stated as £200 and of Burton Agnes £300 (Cambridge Chronicle, 6 November 1784).
He was appointed chaplain to the Duke of York (ibid. 5 July 1788). He died
31 October 1806 (Gentleman's Magazine, 1806, p. 1169), being then Rector of
Heslerton and Vicar of Burton Agnes.

licensed to the curacy of Ketton, co. Rutland, he was ordained Priest 7 March 1762
(with letters dimissory from the Bishop of Salisbury), all by the Bishop of Lincoln.
He was instituted Vicar of Rodbourne Cheyney, Wilts., 8 March 1762, on the
presentation of Peregrine Bertie, junior, and held the living until his death
(Phillipps, Institutiones Wilto7iiae, ii, 80, 89). He was buried at Utiington, co. Lincoln,
22 August 1768. Mr Justin Simpson sends the following extracts from the Parish
APPENDIX. 635
Register of Uffington : " 1738, Montague, son of Charles Bertie, esq., and Bathsheba
his wife, was born the second day of August 1737 and baptized in the parish of
St Anne's, Westminster; Charles, sou of Charles Bertie, junior, esq., and Mary
his wife, and grandson to the Honble. Mr Charles Bertie, was born February 13th
170S, about 7 in the morning in Newport Street, in the parish of St Anne's, West-
minster, and was christened there 5 March ; Bathsheba, wife of Charles Bertie, esq.
(died September 13), buried in the parish chm-ch of Stepney, London, 1755; Jlem.
That Charles Bertie, esq., died at Lisham Green, in the parish of St Mary Lee
Bone, Middlesex, on Friday the 26th day of April 1784, and was buried at Stepney,
near London." These entries prove that Montague Bertie was descended from
Montague Bertie, second Earl of Lindsay (Burke, Dormant and Extinct Peerages, 51).
P. 145 no. 14. Anthony Hosken, A.M. (the father), was admitted to the Vicarage
of Bodmin 4 November 1735, upon the presentation of Sir John Prideaux of
Netherton, baronet. In Bodmin church is a stone with this inscription:
" Near this place are deposited the remains of the Rev. Anthony Hosken, A.M.,
Vicar of this Parish and Rector of Lesnewth — both in this county, who died
21 November 1766, aged 55. And also the remains of his son, the Rev^ John
Hosken, B.D., Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge, and Rectdr of Great Oakley
in the county of Essex. He died March 19th 1783, aged 45" (Sir John Maclean,
History of Trifio Minor, i. 149, 169 ; Boase, Collectanea Cornubiemia, 391).
" Beneath this stone are deposited the remains of Susanna Hosken, widow of
the ReV Anthony Hosken, and daughter of the Rev** Wm Pennington. She de-
parted this life May 3"^ 1791, aged 72 years" (Maclean, i, 159).
John Hosken was admitted a Fellow of the College 10 March 1761. He had a
year of grace granted by the College 18 February 1769. He was presented by the
College to the Rectory of Great Oakley, Essex, 11 Ma.^ 1778, and instituted 1 June
1778. The Cambridge Chronicle of 19 April 1783 states that he died in Cornwall. One
John Hosken was instituted Vicar of Manaccan, Cornwall, 19 February 1766 and the
living was filled up in 1778, the year of John Hosken's institution to Great Oakley.
So that it is probably the same person. He held Great Oakley until his death.
P. 145 no. 15. Millington Massey was admitted to Manchester School 2 October
1749. He was Senior Wrangler in the year 1759, and was admitted a Fellow of

He was elected by the University (in right of Lord Petre, a Roman Catholic
patron) to the Rectory of West Hornby with Ingrave, Essex (Cambridge Chronicle,
2 November 1765). On 8 July 1766 there was a contested election for the Rectory
of Thwaite St Mary, Norfolk (the patron, the Duke of Norfolk, being a Roman
Catholic), he polled 55 votes, being defeated by Mr John Story, Fellow of Mag-
dalene, who polled 58 (Cooper, Annals of Cambridge, iv, 343). He was elected by
the University (in right of the Duke of Norfolk) to the cure of Bungay St Mary,
Suffolk [Cambridge Chronicle, 21 March 1767). He was appointed domestic chaplain
to Viscount Weymouth, one of the principal Secretaries of State, who presented
him to the Rectory of Corsley, Wilts. (Cambridge Chronicle, 21 May 1768) and was
instituted 12 May 1768. He was presented by the same patron to the Rectory of
Kingston Deverell, Wilts, and instituted 23 November 1770. He was empowered
by dispensation to hold these two livings together, their united value being £220 a
year (ibid. 1 December 1770). In 1773 he was collated by the Bishop to the
Vicarage of Warminster, Wilts. (Phillipps, Institutiones Wiltoniae, ii, 86), holding
this by dispensation with his other preferment. On 19 November 1770 he received
a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Corsley (valued at £70)
with Kingston Deverell (valued at £135), the livings being stated to be not more
than 7 miles apart. And on 7 December 1773 he had a dispensation to hold
Kingston Deverell (valued at £160) with Warminster (valued at £100), the two
livings being not more than 10 miles apart. He seems to have ceded Corsley in
1783, but held his other Wiltshire benefices until his death. On a flat stone within
the Communion rails of the church at Warminster there is this inscription : " Sacred
to the memory of the Rev. Millington Massey Jackson, A.M., formerly of Dunham
Massey in the county of Chester, and Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge,
33 years Vicar of this parish and Rector of Kingston Deverell. He departed this
life the 26 December 1807, aged 70 years " (Hoare, History of Modern Wiltshire,

unassuming; hospitable, benevolent and liberal." He was twice married, his second
wife, daughter of Charles and Elizabeth Aldridge, died at Bath 10 March 1826,

P. 146 no. 21. The Christian name should be Fyge, not Tyge. The name Fyge
is that of an old Essex family long settled at Pleshey and Writtle. An entry in
the Parish Register of Winslow states that Thomas Fyge, gent., the last.heir male

and four sons, all of whom died young except Fyge. The name of Fyge Jauncey
does not appear in the Graduati. He matriculated at Oxford 30 June 1758 from
Hertford College, being described as the son of John Jauncey, of St Margaret's,
Westminster, gent., and took the degree of B.C.L. in 1764 (Foster, Alumni Oxoni-

He was married at tlie Chapel Royal, Whitehall, 21 June 1731 to Mary Ward. He
died 3 August 1743 and was buried in Westminster Abbey. James Chelsum, his
son, was born 13 April 1738 and was baptized 15 May following ; his baptism being
recorded both m the Register of Westminster Abbey and of St John the Evangelist,
Westminster (Chester, Westviinster Abbey Register, 85, 364). He was on the foun-
dation of Archbishop Williams at Westminster School, a foundation for poor
scholars, who wore a purple gown. He did not graduate at Cambridge, but being
presented with a Studentship at Christ Church, migrated to Oxford, where he
matriculated, from Christ Church, 30 June 1758. He took the degrees of B.A.
1759, M.A. 1762, B.D. 1772, and D.D. 1773 at Oxford (Foster, Alumni Oxoniemes).
He was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of Chester at Whitehall 7 March 1762.
He is stated to have been an usher in Westminster School for several years, retiring

where he held the offices of Tutor, Censor, and Proctor. He was preferred to the
College Curacy of Lothbury near Newport Pagnell. He was instituted Vicar of
Duffield, CO. Derby, 20 February 1773, ceding this on being instituted Rector of

was also a Whitehall Preacher and for sometime Chaplain to Bishoji North. He
is said to have travelled a good deal on the Continent and to have been a good
French scholar. At Oxford he is believed to have been a member of a Literary
Society, vaguely mentioned in the Olla Podrida, Chelsum, in a sermon before the
University of Oxford, was one of the first to criticise Gibbon, charging him with
unfairness and infidelity. The sermon was afterwards published. During his
later years his mind seems to have become affected and he w'as jjlaced under the
care of a relative. He died in 1801 near London and was buried at Droxford. He
was married, but seems to have left no issue {Gentleman'' s Magazine, 1801, ii, 1175-6 ;
1802, i, 101, 293). Chelsum published the following works: (i) Remarks on the
t%co last chapters of Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Rovian Em2nre,

man I dined with at Cambridge on Friday, October 22, 1779, together with
Dr Pennington and Dr Ferris of St John's College. He is a well set, square,
short man, married a woman of some fortune in the north, where he resides, I

was licensed to the curacy of St Ives, Hunts. ; he was ordained Priest 10 June 1759,
all by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was some time master of the Grammar School
at St Ives, Hunts. While master there he married at Buckden, Miss Green, niece
to John Green, Bishop of Lincoln (Cambridge Chronicle, 3 October 1772). Her
father was a miller at Beverley, another sister married Eobert Dowbiggiu (P. 145
no. 11 and the note thereon; History of St John's College, ii, 711). Bishop Green
collated him 26 September 1772 to the Prebend of Milton Manor with Binbrooke in
Lincoln Cathedral, and he was installed 5 December (Hardy's Le Neve, ii, 191).
He was collated 8 July 1773 by the same prelate to the Rectory of Wheathampstead
with the curacy of Harpenden, Herts. He held both until his death. He died
26 July 1800 at Wheathampstead {Cambridge Chronicle, 6 September 1800 ; Gentle-
7nan's Magazine, 1800, p. 799). His widow Mary died at St Alban's 24 January
1820, aged 69 {Gentleman's Magazine, 1820, i, 188). He was a good scholar, and a
man of deep research. He published a Latin poetical epistle to Mr Pennant, on
his tours; The Life of Bishop Taylor, and the purest spirit of his Writings ex-
tracted and exhibited for general Benefit, 1793, 8vo. ; A new Delineation of Job's
antient abode, by a Gentleman noic contemplative in Arabia Petraea, transmitted
from Alexandria to John Wheeldon, M.A. To xohich are added a few Observations
on the Book of Job by the Editor, 1799. Mr Wheeldon was deeply versed in the
writings of Wowver, and in 1799 expressed a wish to republish his Dies Aestiva,
sive Paegnion de Umbra, but this he did not live to accomplish. On the north
wall of the chancel of Wheathampstead Church his death is thus recorded : " In a
vault near this Place are deposited the mortal remains of the Rev. John Wheeldon,
A.M., Prebendary of Lincoln, and 27 years Rector of this Parish, who died July 26,
1800, aet. 65 " (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, ix, 765-6). He left one daughter and
a son, the Rev. John Wheeldon, of Corpus Christi College (B.A. 1796, M.A. 1799),
who married the daughter of Mr Pickford, an eminent waggon-master, at Market
Street (Cambridge Chronicle, 6 September 1800). He was presented by Thomas
Pickford, esq., to the perpetual curacy of Market Street, in the parish of Cadding-
ton, with £200 a year (ibid. 23 July 1808). He died 4 April 1844, aged 70

P. 146 no. 28. Benjamin D'Aranda was probably the person of that name of
University College, Oxford, son of Philip D'Aranda, of Canterbury (Foster, Alum7u
Oxonienses). He married as his second wife Elizabeth Oliphant, of Petersham,
Surrey, spinster, aged 27 (Marriage Licences, Vicar General, 11 May 1734). In
Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica, New Series, i, 83, there is a pedigree of the
family of D'Aranda. It does not however include Peter D'Aranda.
Peter D'Aranda was ordained Deacon 1 June 1760 by the Bishop of Rochester
for London, and Priest 21 March 1762 by the Bishop of London. He was in-
stituted Rector of Great Burstead, Essex, 17 December 1767, and Vicar of Great
Wakering, Essex, 5 February 1779. On 30 January 1779, when he is described as
chaplain to Caroline, Baroness Greenwich, he received a dispensation from the
Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Great Burstead (valued at £65) with Great
Wakering (valued at £80), the two livings being not more than 20 miles apart.
He held both until his death 1 September 1804 at Great Burstead. Great Burstead
was in the gift of Lord Petre, Great Wakering in that of the Bishop of London.
The Gentleman's Magazine, 1804, ii, 888, states that: "He was for several yeai-s
curate of Twickenham, where he was much and deservedly esteemed. It is to be
feared that his being compelled to reside in an nnhealthy part of Essex hastened
the end of this very worthy divine." His widow, Mrs D'Aranda, died 24 December
1815 at her brother's, Richmond Green, aged 79 (Gentleman's Magazine, 1815,
ii, 643).

was probably the Fellow of the College.
P. 147 no. 2. Philip Rosenhagen was admitted to St Paul's School 22 June
1751 at the age of 14. He is stated to be the sou of Mrs Rosenhagen of Isle worth.
He was elected a Piatt Fellow of the College in March 1761, his Fellowship being
filled up again in 1772. He was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of Ely 22 May
1760 and licensed to the curacy of Trumpington, co. Cambridge, 27 May 1760 ;
he was ordained Priest by the Bishop of London 22 December 1765. He was
appointed domestic chaplain to the Earl of Chesterfield (Cambridge Chronicle,
8 November 1766). He was elected and presented by the University of Cambridge
to the Vicarage of Mountnessing in Essex, in right of Lord Petre, a Roman Catholic
patron {Cambridge Chronicle, 30 November 1765). He was instituted 20 June 1766
and held it until 1774. He was presented by Lord Maynard to the rectory of
Little Easton, together with the donative of Tilty, both in Essex (Cambridge
Chronicle, 22 September 1781), and he was instituted 24 September 1781. He
appears to have resided a great deal on the Continent, and to have held an army
chaplaincy. A writer in the Gentleman's Magazine for 1814, p. 104, who signs
himself A. W. A., says : "About twenty years have elapsed since I purchased an
APPENDIX. 641
Army Chaplaincy of Mr Kosenhagen, and he soon after went to India." The
College gave him leave to go abroad by order, dated 6 August 1765. They gave
him a 'year of grace' {i.e. allowed him to postpone taking his B.D. degree, which
he was bound to do by the Statutes or vacate his Fellowship) 30 March 1770. And
on 10 October 1770 the following order was passed : " Agreed to give Mr Kosen-
hagen leave to go abroad so that he return to take his degree of B.D. on the
11th day of June next coming." He never took the degree of B.D., so it was
probably on this account that he vacated his Fellowship. He went out to Ceylon
as Archdeacon of Colombo and died there. His death was announced erroneously
in the Gentleman!s Magazine for 1796, p. 1059, where it is described as having
taken place ' lately,' being put at the end of the deaths for September, the state-
ment concludes, "A report was at one time industriously circulated but without
foundation, except to flatter his vanity, that he was the author of the letters signed
Junius." The Gentleman's Magazine for March 1799, p. 252, announces his death
as having taken place in September 1798. And the Cambridge Chronicle, 23 March
1799, announces it as having taken place at Colombo in the East Indies.
The chief interest in Rosenhagen's life is his connexion with Sir Philip Francis,
the reputed author of the Letters of Junius, for in other respects he seems to have
been a loose fish and not a member of whom the College can be proud.
Philip Rosenhagen was captain, or head-boy, of St Paul's School, 1754-5.
Philip Francis succeeded him as captain for the year 1755-6. The two boys were
class-fellows and friends, though of wholly dissimilar characters. It is said that
Mr Thicknesse, the head-master, always mentioned the two pupils as the most
naturally clever boys and the best scholars of his entire term of mastership. But
he said Rosenhagen had neither perseverance nor moral conduct, whereas Francis
had both, and consequently would get the start of the other in the race of life
(Parkes and Merivale, Memoirs of Sir Philip Francis, i, 9). Lady Francis gives
the following account of Rosenhagen (Memoirs of Sir P. Francis, ii, 275) : " Rosen-
hagen was of Danish family, but educated at one of our Universities and ordained.
The Francises often visited the Chandlers at Richmond, where they met Rosenhagen,
who soon made himself agreeable to them. He was full of amusing stories,
extremely witty, and had travelled much. He was au excellent whist player, and
Francis appears to have acquired much of his excellence at the game from him.
His life was not exactly that which would suit our modern evangelists. When
chaplain of a regiment he was the gayest man at mess. In aftertimes Francis
met him in Paris, in hat and feather, silk coat, red-heeled shoes, and all the
foppery of a iK'tit-maltre. He told Francis that he mixed in the best society, and
therefore could not appear in the dowdy dress of au English parson. He took
Francis to his lodgings, up a hundred steps, where he found a little room with
a bed in it that nearly filled it ; the remaining space was occupied by a chair
and a box containing the tenant's wardrobe, on which he seated himself, com-
plimenting his visitor with the honour of the chair, and telling at the same time
that yesterday the Duke of occupied it ; the day before, and before, the
Marquis, the Compte, the Chevalier, &c. If he was to be believed, half the nobility
of France had ennobled his bedroom by their presence. When four or five noblemen
happened to meet in the room, he said they had to sit round the bed, but they
knew he was a bird of passage, and could not entertain them as if he were at home.
At that time his English home was nothing but a name. Speaking the French
language, and having an infinite fund of humour, his company was always courted
both in France and in England. He discovered that Francis was Junius, and
endeavoured to turn the discovery to some personal account. He offered to let
Lord North into the secret on condition of receiving a pension. Lord North
declined. Francis got information of the negotiation, and fearing he would not
be able to baifle Rosenhagen, made an advantageous and honourable retreat. How
Rosenhagen made his peace with Francis does not appear, but Rosenhagen left
Francis his papers, amongst which was an amusing diary too personal to be
published. There is also a curious correspondence relating to the marriage of
the Prince of Wales with Mrs Fitzherbert. Colonel Gardner, the Prince's private
secretary, writes the first letter, asking Rosenhagen to perform the ceremony.
Rosenhagen replies that it would be contrary to law for him to do so, and if done
would be productive of important, probably disastrous, consequences to the whole
nation. The Colonel answers that the Prince is aware of all that, but pledges
himself to keep the matter a profound secret, and that the Prince will feel bound to
642 APPENDIX.
reward Eosenhagen for such a proof of his attachment as soon as the means are in
his power. Eosenhagen in reply, says he can trust implicitlj' the Prince's promise
of secrecy, but he dare not betray the duty he owes to the Prince by assisting in an
affair that might bring such serious consequences to him." Lady Francis says
there were six letters, and that she believes Eosenhagen declined the business
because no specific offer was made to him, and not from the motives stated in
the letters, as he was daring and unscrupulous.
It appears from this account that Eosenhagen spent most of his life abroad,
chiefly in France. Writing in May 1771, Sir Philip Francis says [Memorials of
Sir Philip Francis, i, 261) : " Eosenhagen, I hear, is returned to Lisle. How
he contrived to reach Lyons is to me inconceivable ; and much more so how he
could have stretched to Gibraltar."
He is several times mentioned, though not very favourably, in the papers of the
day. The Gazetteer of 24 January 1774 has the following :
"The celebrated Junius is at last discovered to be the Eev. Phil. E gen.
He was originally a great acquaintance of Mr Home's, and a contemporary of his
at Cambridge. Mr E gen was there celebrated, above all others, for his classical
abilities. Mr E gen was in London during the whole time of Junius's publica-
tion ; for a considerable time before, and ever since, he has been abroad. He is
now resident at Orleans in France, where he cuts a very conspicuous appearance,
having married a very beautiful and accomplished young lad}', sister of the
celebrated Mrs Grosvenor ; nor does he make it any secret where he resides that
he is the author of Junius."
Again, the Toiim and County Magazine for 1776 has the following :
" Extract of a Letter from Paris.
"We have a phenomenon here, an English parson, the descendant of a German
minister. His name is E-s — h-gen. He was chaplain to an English regiment ;
but being a very active man, and abusive writer on the side of opposition, he found
himself under the necessity of retiring, and commenced chevalier cVindustrie at
large. He was not unacquainted with the finesses at play, and availed himself of
them upon every occasion. However, as this commerce is not the most certain in
the world, he found it expedient to extend his credit upon paper to a very con-
siderable amount. W^hen the bills became due he sought refuge in the verge
of the coast ; but even here his liberty became perilous, and he judged it prudent
to make a trip to the Continent. He went to the south of France, and sojourned
for a considerable time at Lyons ; here it was necessary to call his adroitness into
play, by which, under the sanction of Mrs P 1 (Lady L-g-n-r's mother), who
was his patroness, and with whom he lived in the strictest intimacy for some
time, his hours glided in ease and luxury. But a disagreeable discovery of an
operation at Lansquenette induced him to quit that city a la sourdine, and to
repair to this metropolis. He had not been here long before he made the ac-
quaintance of Madame L , who being upon the haut-ton of demireps, she was
caressed by persons of the first rank. Her house is now the belle assemblee of
first-rate ladies of her complexion, and wherever they resort the men will go.
Cards form the greatest part of the enjoyment of these parties. Deep play is the
word every night ; the ladies fleece their male friends with impunity, and the
parson has a fellow-feeling. Besides, as he is a scholar, and a man of address, he
easily ingratiates himself with his countrymen, who think themselves honoured to
be introduced to a real marquis and an imaginary countess. Clericus has been
very successful in these pursuits for some time, as an English baronet and a Welsh
'squire can testify. Notwithstanding these nocturnal revels, E is seen every
forenoon reading his Tacitus in the Thuilleries or the Palais Eoyal, with as much
gravity and composure as if the whole night had been devoted to study."
Almon says in his edition of Junius, 1806, that he published for Eosenhagen in
the year 1770 a pamphlet in answer to Dr Johnson's False Alarm. This pamphlet
was entitled A Letter to Samuel Johnson, LL.D., 54 pp., 8vo, Mr John Taylor in
his Junius Identified, says that Eosenhagen contributed to the Public Advertiser,
but it may be doubted whether any writings of his can be now identified (Notes and
Queries, 2nd Ser. x, 216, 315, 3rd Ser. v, 16 ; Parkes and Merivale, Memoirs of Sir
Philip Francis, i, 8, 231, 261, 309, ii, 222, 274, 275, 277 ; Gentleman's Magazine,
1814, ii, p. 103, 323). Cole in his Collections (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5879, p. 109)
has the following: "In the Cambridge Journal of Saturday January 29, 1774 are the
two following paragraphs :
APPENDIX. 643
"A correspondent says, the celebrated Junius is at last discovered to be the Eev.
Philip Eosenhagen. He was originally a great acquaintance of Mr Home and a
contemporary of his at Cambridge. Mr R. was there celebrated above all others
for his classical abilities. Mr K. was in London during the whole time of Junius'
Publications, for a considerable time before ; ever since he has been abroad. He is
now resident at Orleans in France, where he cuts a very conspicuous appearance,
having married a very beautiful and accomplished young lady, sister of the
celebrated Mrs Gamier : nor does he make it any secret where he resides, that
he is the Author of Junius.
"We have the authority to assure the public that the Articles in the papers
mentioning the Eev. Mr Eosenhagen to be the Author of the letters signed Junius,
are totally void of Foundation.
" Thus the News-writers fill out their Papers, and supposing that such Articles
amuse the Public, and fill their pockets, they care not a rush whether they are true
or false. In the same paper are such impudent suggestions against the King and
private people, that no Age or Country but our own would suffer it. Mr Eosen-
hagen is a very handsome man, a sister of his, handsome also, and well made,
is the wife of my friend Mr Bernard, Eector of Withersfield and Newmarket,
Chaplain to his Majestj', as he had been to the Duke of Somerset, our Chancellor,
an ingenious man and much retired, and had been Fellow of St John's College. "
" Philip Eosenhagen, A.M., was presented by St John's College (sic) to the
Vicarage of Munassing in Essex, in 1766. I have heard that Mr Eosenhagen lives
now at Paris and keeps a sort of Gaming House."
In the Cambridge Chronicle of Saturday, July 25, 1778, was this Anecdote :
"B... the Bruiser, the reputed Editor of the Scandalous Post or Morning Post
was formerly curate of a village near Chelmsford. One E...n, formerly of St John's
College, Cambridge, who fled from his creditors here, and now keeps a fashionable
Gaming House at Paris, had the Cure of Souls at a neighbouring Parish. Their
annual stipend was 501. a year apiece : and tho' it was notorious to all the
gentlemen of Essex that this illustrious pair had no other visible means of getting
their bread, it was as notorious that they used to come down on Sunday morning
(after passing the night in Gambling and Pimping in Town) in a chaise and four to
do their duty at their respective churches. E...n was indeed a man of letters, and
by some people thought to be the author of Junius; but what B... wanted in
learning he made up in Profligacy and complaisance to his brother in Iniquity and
Extravagance. B... had quarrelled with the Parish Clerk about his fees. The
Sunday afterwards, the former catechized the children of the Parish, and con-
ducting with the common questions " and who was the oldest man? and who was
the wisest man ? d'c," the Clerk said he had a question to ask one of the boys, and
immediately interrogated the lad, to whom he had given the cue " Who was the
most infamous Fellow who ever existed ? " To which the child immediately made
answer " Parson B... so help me God."
'* The other parson means Mr Bates, who married a Miss Hartley, sister to the
celebrated actress, and both Cambridge women, if Mr Beverley the Bedel may be
depended on, whose authority is none of the best. Mr Bates was walking in a
public garden with these ladies and was accosted very rudely by Lord Littleton,
Mr Fitzgerald, etc., to which last Mr Bates sent a challenge, and Mr Fitzgerald
sent his servant dressed as a gentleman in his room, whom Mr Bates drubbed very
lustily. His sister married a Mr Pochiu, who lives at Newport Ponds in Essex,
where he lately built a neat Brick House. In July 1778, he had (viz. Mr Bates) a
duel or shooting match with a French Officer.
" In the Cambridge paper of Saturday, September 22, 1781, it was said that Mr Philip
Eosenhagen, formerly of St John's, was presented to the living of Little Easton in
Essex, by the Lord Viscount Maynard, where his Lordship chiefly resides. It is
possible his Lordship after his marriage with the famous Nancy Parsons, and
residence in Italy for some years afterwards, might meet with Mr Eosenhagen in
his return through Paris, or probably might know his Lordship, as his brother-in-
law, Mr Bernard, is Eector of Witherstield in Suffolk, close to his Lordship's
other seat in Cambridgeshire, though in the parish of Ashdon in Essex, in that
neighbourhood . ' '

was ordained Priest by the Bishop of Norwich at the request of the Bishop of
Peterborough 22 December 1765, and was instituted Rector of Burnham Westgate,
CO. Norfolk, 29 January 1766. In 1779 his affairs were in disorder, his living
sequestered, and he himself in prison (Hunter, Familiae Minorum Gentium,
Harleian Soc. Puhl. xxxviii, 501). The Gentleman's 3Iagazine for 1803, ii, p. 987

P. 148 no. 17. Thomas Kyffin, gentleman, eldest son of Thomas Kyffin, of
Maynan, co. Denbigh, esq., was admitted a student of Lincoln's Inn 20 July 1756.
He was High Sheriff of Denbighshire from 1 February 1765 to 17 February 1767.
P. 148 no. 18. Kichard Wadeson was admitted a Fellow of the College 22
March 1763. He was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of London 17 June 1764.
He did not take Priest's Orders for some time. By the Statutes of the College
he ought to have done so within six years from his M.A. degree. He obtained
letters dimissory from the Archbishop of Canterbury to be ordained Priest by the
Bishop of Lincoln. The entry in the Act Book of the Archbishop is not dated
but it comes between two entries dated 20 and 24 December 1770. He was
ordained Priest "at the request of the Archbishop of Canterbury" by the Bishop
of Lincoln 23 December 1770. The question then arose was Mr Wadeson a
Fellow of the College. The Seniority, or governing body, of the College seem
to have endeavoured to discover some means of allowing Mr Wadeson to retain
his Fellowship. They took the opinion of Alexander Wedderbnm, afterwards
Lord Chancellor Loughborough, and of John Dunning, afterwards Lord Ashburton.
Briefly the opinion of these lawyers was that Mr Wadeson had forfeited his Fellow-
ship, but that if no question as to the rights of others arose, Mr Wadeson might
be allowed to continue a Fellow of the College if the College chose to permit it.
Unfortunately for Mr Wadeson the question was raised. The Vicarage of Higliam,
in Kent, became vacant in April 1771 through the promotion of Michael Driver
Mease. The choice of livings then went by seniority. Wadeson appears to have
claimed Higham, and John Youde, a Fellow junior to Wadeson, also claimed it.
At first the Seniority tried to avoid coming to any decision of their own, passing
an order on 20 June 1771 agreeing to "wait for the determination of the Visitor
or of any court of law, if Mr Youde shall begin any suit relating to it (i.e. the
right to Higham) before the first day of July next." This was clearly an evasion
of responsibility and the Seniority, probably to prevent the presentation lapsing
to the Bishop of Rochester, declared on 20 August 1771 that Wadeson's Fellowship
was vacant, he not having taken Priest's Orders within the prescribed time.
Against this Wadeson appealed to the Bishop of Ely as Visitor of the College,
but the Bishop declared that Wadeson had forfeited his Fellowship. A full account
of the matter will be found in the College Magazine, The Eagle, xxiii, 1 — 9.
Wadeson was Master of Harrow School. He married 20 April 1783 Miss Page,
of Harrow {Gentleman' x Magazine, 1783, i, 363 6). He retired from his mastership
in 1789, Mr Drury being elected Headmaster of Harrow School 11 June 1789 "in
place of Mr Richard Wadeson, who retires" {Cambridge Chronicle, 27 June 1789).
He was instituted Rector of Fairlight (or Fai'leigh), Sussex, 9 May 1798, and held
the living until his death in November or December 1823, aged 89 (Gentleman's
Magazine, 1823, 645 a).
P. 149 no. 20. Thomas Joy was ordained Deacon 2 March 1760 by the Bishop
of Peterborough, and Priest 7 September 1760 by the Bishop of Durham, in both
cases at the request of the Bishop of Chester. He was curate of Smeatou in 1760.
He was instituted Vicar of Grinton, Yorks., 2 April 1783, and held the living until
his death, 20 May 1799, at Smeaton, near Northallerton, in his 63rd year. He
seems to have resided at Smeaton. In early life before entering the College he
was apprenticed to a surgeon and apothecary at Northallerton. He was thus able
to minister to the poor in a twofold manner. When poor or needy persons were
ill or when any accident had befallen them he was always ready to attend to the
suffering patient. His corpse was carried to the grave by Six poor men and the
same number of bearers, all of whom had suits of dark grey clothes bequeathed
to them. By his will he left a legacy of £100 in the Five per cents, to the governors
of the Society for the better provision of the necessitous clergy and their families
within the North Riding of Yorkshire {Gentleman's Magazine, 1799, pp. 528 a,
721a, 949 6).

married in Lichfield Cathedral on 7 November 1728 Elizabeth, daughter of Andrew
Corbet, of Shrewsbury.
Beaumont Dixie, his son, did not graduate. He is described by some authorities
as of Emmanuel College. He was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of London
1 June 1760 (when he is described as of St John's College). He was ordained
Priest by the Bishop of Lincoln 27 February 1763. He was instituted Rector of
Newton Blossomville, Bucks., 28 February 1763, on the presentation of William
Farrer, esq., ceding this on his institution 5 January 1773 to the Vicarage of
St Peter's, Derby. He married Margaret, daughter of Richard Shewin, of South
Wales (also described as Joseph Shewen, of Strady, co. Carmarthen). He is said
to have died in Wales about 1780, but the Vicarage of St Peter's, Derby, was not
filled up again until 1786. Two of his sons were successively holders of the
family Baronetcy (Nichols, History of Leicestershire, iv, Pt. 2, p. 507, where
there is a pedigree; Burke, Peerage and Baronetage). The Parish Register of
Battlefield, Salop (printed by the Parish Register Society), has the following
entries: "Beaumont Dixie, Minister, licensed 10 January 1772." "The Rev.
Beaumont Dixie, Minister of the Perpetual Curacies of Ufiington and Battlefield,
and of St Peter's, Derby, died at Dalbury, co. Derby, May 10, 1786."
P. 149 no. 25. This person graduated as Aungier Peacocke, B.A. 1760, M.A.
1763. He was ordained Deacon 28 February 1768 by the Bishop of Norwich under
the name Aungier Love Peacocke. He was instituted incumbent of Bacon's Portion
of Dengie Parish in Essex 25 May 1781, and held the benefice until 1793.
P. 149 no. 27. This appears to be William Tighe, eldest son of William Tighe,
of Rosanna, co. Wicklow, Keeper of the Records in the Bermingham Tower, M.P.
for Clonmines 1733, and for Wicklow 1761, by his first wife Lady Mary Bligh,
eldest daughter of John, First Earl of Darnley. William Tighe, the younger, was
returned as M.P. for the borough of Athboy, co. Meath, in the Irish Parliaments
of 1761-68 and 1769-1776. He married in 1765 Sarah, only child of the Rt.
Hon. Sir William Fownes, bart., of Woodstock, co. Kilkenny; he died in 1782
(Burke, Landed Gentry, Tighe of Woodstock).
P. 149 no. 28. Dr Thomas Thackeray was of King's College (B.A. 1715). He
was Rector of Heydon and Little Chishall, Essex, and afterwards Headmaster of
Harrow. Frederick Thackeray, his son, was born at Heydon 15 March 1737. He
took the degree of M.B. in 1764. He resided at Windsor, and died there 22
September 1782, and was buried in the parish church on the 28th. He married
Elizabeth, daughter of Abel Aldridge, of Uxbridge, she died at Leamington 11
October 1816 in her 80th year, and was buried at Hatton, Warwickshire. They
had four sons and three daughters. The eldest, Henry William Makepeace
Thackeray, was admitted a pensioner of the College 10 June 1785 {Herald and
Genealogist, ii, 319, 444, 558). Frederick Thackeray was the author of a Thesis
Utrum Salivatio in Lue Venerea vecessaria est? (Medical Register, 1780, p. 72).
P. 149 no. 30. George Mason was ordained Deacon 2 March 1760 by the Bishop
APPENDIX. 647
of Peterborough at the request of the Bishop of Durham, and Priest 7 September
1760 by the Bishop of Durham, who licensed him 22 September 1760 to the curacy
of Berwick-upon-Tweed, with a salary of £30. He was instituted Vicar of Leire,
CO. Leicester, 10 May 1765. He died at Leire, in January 1808. The Cambridge
Chronicle for 30 January 1808 in announcing his death gives the dates of his
degrees as B.A, 1753, M.A. 1756, but these are the degrees of an earUer George
Mason (see P. 130 no. 45 and the note thereon), this George Mason was B.A. 1760,
M.A. 1763. The same authority gives his age at death as 75 ('in his 76th year'),
which does not agree with that given in the College Register,
P. 149 no. 31. This is perhaps the son of Thomas Bolton, admitted 29 March
1715 (Part ii, P. 218 no. 19). He was admitted to Manchester School 21 October
1752 (Manchester School Register, i, 50, 227). He was ordained Priest 18 December
1763 by the Bishop of Norwich. He was instituted Eector of Nedging, Suffolk,
20 December 1763. He was instituted Rector of Hollesley, Suffolk, 11 March 1772,
which he afterwards resigned in 1783. He was appointed perpetual curate of
St Mary-at-Quay, Ipswich, in 1764. He died 29 December 1821 at the Glebe
House, Nedging, aged 85 {Gentlenia7i's Magazine, 1822, p. 91). At his son's entry
into Manchester School 21 October 1752, the father is described as "Rev. Thomas
Bolton, rector, Ipswich " (Finch Smith, I.e.). No Thomas Bolton occurs as Rector
of a parish in Ipswich, but one of these names was Rector of Barham, Suffolk,
from 1732 to 1739.
P. 160 no. 3. William Oddie was ordained Priest 6 June 1762 by the Bishop of
Lincoln, and continued in his curacy at Andei'by, co. Lincoln. He was instituted
Vicar of Orston, Notts., 14 December 1773, ceding this on liis institution to the
Vicarage of Leighton Buzzard, Beds., 16 October 1781, holding Leighton until
1788. He was instituted Vicar of Bierton, Bucks., 5 December 1786. He is also
stated to have been Vicar of Hough, Lincolnshire, in 1767. He died at Bierton,
aged 87, and was buried there 30 March 1825 (Lipscomb, History of Buckingham-
shire, ii, 103).
P. 160 no. 4. Christopher Naylor was ordained Deacon 20 September 1761 by
the Bishop of Salisbury, at the request of the Bishop of Oxford, and Priest
27 February 1763 by the Bishop of London. He was probably the person of that
name who was instituted Rector of Llanaber, co. Merioneth, 16 September 1772,
holding that living until 1777. He was then presented by the Lord Chancellor to
a mediety of the Rectory of Linton, in Craven, Yorks. (Cambridge Chronicle,
1 February 1777), and was instituted 15 July 1777, holding the living until 1780.
He was at one time tutor to Lord Arden and the Right Hon. Spencer Percival,
afterwards Prime Minister (Sidebotham, Memorials of the King's School, Canterbury,
79). In 1780 he became second master of the King's School, Canterbury, holding
this until 1782, when he became Head Master, which office he held until his death.
He was instituted Rector of Roxby, with Risby, Lincolnshire, 9 November 1779,
and Rector of Scremby in the same county 20 December 1788 ; on 19 December
1788, when he is described as chaplain to James, Earl of Abercorn, he received
a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbm-y to hold these two livings, then
stated to be of the respective values of £180 and £120, and to be 30 miles apart.
He held both these livings until his death. He was also one of the Six Preachers
of Canterbury Cathedral, to which he was elected and admitted by the Archbishop
24 March 1807. He died 11 April 1816. He was buried in the Cathedral Cloisters
near the Chapter House, where there is a monument to his memory, with the
following inscription: "S. M. | Rev^' Chris'' Naylor A.M. | e. sex concionatoribus

The Rev. Canon H. Bailey sends the following extracts from a MS. book left to
St Augustine's College, Canterbury, by the Rev. Canon Gilbert : " Of my Masters,
Christopher Naylor and John Francis (undermaster), I can say that I revered and
feared the former, and loved the latter. Naylor was a good scholar and apt at
Latin versification. This he taught me admirably. He could not teach me Greek
Metres, which I longed to understand, and had never read Person's Preface to
Hecuba. He was very dignified in appearance." ..." The Rev. Christopher
Naylor was a dignified looking man, but with much severity of aspect and
disposition. He was a good scholar, and clever in composition of Latin verse.

I stood in great awe of him till I became head of the first class, and then I found
him not unpleasant to work with. I read with him Ovid's Metamorphoses, Virgil
fully, Horace, Juvenal, Cicero's Orations, Xenophon, Homer, and several Plays.
The rod was his great dependence on all boys but those in the first class. He died
in harness aged 75. I respected him, but did not love him." ..." Naylor's

is said to have been appointed Vicar of Dedham vice Grimwood, deceased (ibid.,
517 a). Taylor was instituted Vicar of Dedham 9 March 1809 vice Richard
Fletcher, so Vicar is probably a mistake for Lecturer.
P. 152 no. 9. Henry Ainsworth was admitted to Manchester Grammar School
16 January 1752, when his father is described as a farmer. He did not graduate.

Londonderry, through whom the Meyricks became possessed of the Pitt diamond,
which was sold to the regent Orleans, and is now among the national jewels
of France. They were married by a Fleet parson, and the public scandal caused

confidenee that their love, and protection of it, will prove the best and most
lasting testimony of his departed worth " (monumental inscription). The Kev.
Canon Raines, of Manchester, had in his possession a manuscript volume of poems
written by the Eev. Owen Lewis Meyrick, which he describes as possessing no
merit. There are verses on "Vale Royal, addressed to Thomas Cliolmoudeley, esq." ;
also " An epistle to the Rev. Thomas Robert Markham, at Vale Royal, formerly
Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge, but now of Brasenose College, Oxford"
(see P. 116 no. 32). A fragmentary poem, styled " A Character," was written in
the year 1761, and was a satirical attack on a Cambridge man, in which verses
"Dr Hogsden " (perhaps Ogdeu) is t-everely lashed, but was not the principal
object of the poet's merciless censure (Manchester School Register, ii, 103— t ; 161-2 ;
186). Mrs Meyrick, the wife of Owen Lewis Meyrick, died at Holsworthy in 1818,
aged 72 (Gentleman's Magazine, 1818, p. 645 a ; see also Gentleman's Magazine,

The Gentleman's Magazine for 1794, i, 385, gives the following account of him :
"He was a gentleman highly and justly esteemed, and lamented by a numerous and
respectable acquaintance, not only as a scholar of the first erudition, but as
a person of great politeness, elegance of manners and address ; of a clear head,
and a good heart, being possessed of universal philanthropy. He was well known
to the learned world for his literary attainments, particularly his happy talent
of initiating youth in the Latin language, with ease, elegance of style, and rapidity.
Many of his Latin cards, now extant, bear witness to the purity of his style and
elegance of composition ; and, indeed, some of the first dignitaries of the Church
have passed many high encomiums upon his abilities as a tutor in the classicks.
During the latter part of his life he was under some pecuniary embarrassments ;
and being in an indifferent state of health for some months previous to his death,
his asthmatical and other complaints at length brought on a dropsy, which in the
course of a fortnight terminated his life, being found in the morning dead in his
bed. Mr Digby was the younger son of the Rev. [Joseph] Digby, chaplain to the

The following passage with regard to David Ball occurs in Cradock's Memoirg :
" At Thurcaston I think I never met any one but Mr Ball, the curate, who always
seemed dissatisfied with his situation ; he said, 'I do not pretend to be very learned,
but I have never been treated with such distance, or rather disdain.' I assured
him it was the manner of Mr Hurd to others ; that I was certain he had a favour-
able opinion of him ; and I urged him not hastily to give up his situation, for that
I was convinced that Mr Hurd was intrinsically good. Mr Ball would not have
long followed my advice, but that his rector had been appointed i^reacher at
Lincoln's Inn, and he availed himself of his absence to be more comfortable.
Mr Ball, however, was at last convinced of the truth of all my assertions ; for
as soon as ever his rector rose to be Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry he presented
the first living he had in his gift, without the least appUcation, to his astonished
curate, the unassuming Mr Ball."
In a letter from Bishop Hurd to Dr Balguy, dated 25 April 1777, the following
passage occurs: "The same death that vacates this stall, vacates also a living of
about £70 a year for poor Ball. But the Archbishop of Canterbury has asked it
for a friend of his, to hold with Eccleshall (his option), and offers me instead for
Ball two livings in the Isle of Thanet, to the amount of £150 a year, and, as far
as I can learn, not ill-conditioned, which I fancy he will accept " (Kilvert, Memoirs

became Precentor of the Cathedral 9 January 1801 (Hardy's Le Neve, i, 280, 267).
He held his Prebend with Stambridge and Battle until his death 19 June 1801.
The death of his son. Captain William Ferris, R.N., is announced in the Gentleman's

(Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5869) states that Thomas Ferris was Junior Proctor in
1772 and adds, "He is my acquaintance and seems a very worthy man: cousin to
Mr Hale Wortham, of Royston, where he is Vicar, and had been, I think, of Shepreth."

P. 166 no. 26. Christopher Atkinson did not graduate. One of these names was
instituted Rector of Yelden, Beds., 12 July 1770, and held the living until 1778. He
was the author of the following : (i) A poetical sermon on the benefit of Affliction
and the Reasonableness of an entire resignation to the idHI of the Supreme Being;
in two parts, Ps. cxix. 71, 1766, 4to. ; (ii) Faith, Hope, and Charity described and
recommended, in two sermons, 1767, 8vo. ; (iii) Twenty sermons on the most interesting
and important subjects, Cambridge, 1774, Svo. One of these volumes is preserved
in the School Library at Sedbergh (Sedbergh School Re;iister, 137), so that it seems
probable that the Rector of Yelden is identical with this member of the school and
College. '
P. 166 no. 27. Delabere Pritchett, the father, was instituted Vicar of Carew, co.
Pembroke, 14 November 1743. He was sub-chanter of the Cathedral of St David's
for 57 years, and died at St David's on Saturday, 25 December 1801, aged 87 (Cam-
bridge Chronicle, 9 January 1802). Richard Pritchett was elected Naden Divinity
Student of the College 3 November 1760, and admitted fellow 10 April 1764. He

Lincoln. He was Junior Dean of the College from 20 April 1771 to 17 December
1773, when he became Senior Dean, holding the latter office till 15 March 1782.
In a copy, in the College Library, of Nicholas Mann's De Veris Annis D.N. Jesu
Christi Natali et Emortuali Dissertationes d'c. London, 1742, is this note: "The
gift of Frederick, Lord Godolphin to R. Pritchett, in testimony of his esteem and
approbation during eight years serving of the curacy of Stapleford, 1782." He
was presented by the College to the Rectory of Layham, Sufifolk, 10 November 1781

widow of the late Rev. Augustus Henry Newcome, of Hobbets near Hadleigh, with
a fortune of £5000 (Cambridge Chronicle, 12 April 1788). In the north wall of
the chancel of Layham Church is a slab, apparently formerly resting over a grave,
with this inscription: "Beneath this marble | are deposited the remains of the late |

P. 156 no. 34. John Haygarth was the son of John Haygarth, of Garsdale
{Sedbergh School Register, 141). The Gentlenum's Magazine for 1827, pp. 205-6,
contains the following Memoir, with a portrait of Dr Haygarth.
On the tenth of June [1827], died at Lambridge House near Bath, aged 87, John
Haygarth, M.D.,F.R.S. Lond., F.E. and M.S., Edinb., and of the American Academy
of Arts and Sciences. This eminent physician was born in Garsdale, a retired valley
of Y'orkshire, in 1740. After a good classical education at the Grammar School
of Sedbergh he proceeded to St John's College, Cambridge, and took the degree
of M.B. in 1766. He soon after settled at Chester, where for thirty-one years he
enjoyed an extensive practice, and most ably discharged the duties of physician
to the Intirmary of that city, being elected to that office in 1767, and retiring in
1798, when he was succeeded by Dr Thackeray, who has filled the situation ever
since with equal zeal and ability. From Chester Dr Haygarth removed to Bath,
where he successfully continued his profession, so long as his health would allow;
and where he followed up that course of active benevolence which he had com-
menced in early life.
To him the whole kingdom is indebted for the introduction of a plan for
separating fever cases from their more immediate connexion with public hospitals,
or for the establishment of what are called Fever Wards. This improvement was
carried into effect at his recommendation, and in conjunction with his colleague
Dr Curry, at the Chester Infirmary, in 1783; and its utility became so generally
appreciated by the medical profession, that the plan was immediately adopted in
other hospitals, and is now become universal.
Dr Lettsom, in his Hints designed to promote Beneficence, Temjyerance, and
Medical Science, speaks in the highest terms of this and Dr Haygarth's other
exertions. His remarks are these: "In reflectins^ upon the importance of the
object which Dr Haygarth has happily effected, of stopping the progress of in-
fectious fevers, by a plan equally simple and efficacious, the mind dwells with
APPENDIX. 661
pleasure in witnessing the influence of philanthropy directed by medical science,
in snatching victims of contagion from the deleterious air of an infected chamber,
and in preserving whole families, with the friendly visitors, from the insidious
poison ready to invade every age and rank, and to spread disease and death among
the community — In arresting and subduing two poisons (the small-pox and fever),
the most insidious to the human race, in pamphlets, — in unveiling imposture
clothed in the meretricious garb of bold quackery (in his tract on metallic tractors),
— the philanthropic physician justly acquires the approbation of a grateful public,
and with a mind conscious of having deserved it, is truly rich in its own reward,
as his own sentiments testify."
To him also mankind are indebted for an investigation of the nature, causes,
and prevention of contagion, derived from philosophical principles. The facts
which he ascertained by a patient examination of this subject led to the formation
of his Rules of Safety, the value of which have been proved, wherever they have
been adopted.
The medical works of Dr Haygarth consist of (i) An Inquiry how to prevent
the Small-pox, 8vo., 1784 ; (ii) A sketch of a Plan to exterminate the casual Small-
pox, and to introduce general Inoculation, 2 vols. Bvo., 1793; (iii) Two letters to
John Howard, esq., on Lazarettos, 1793; (iv) Of the Imagination as a Cause and as
a Cure of Disorders of the Body, exemplified by fictitious Tractors and Epidemical
Convulsions, Bvo., 1801 ; (v) A letter to Dr Percival on the Prevention of Infectious
Fevers, 8vo., 1801; (vi) A Clinical History of Diseases, Part I of Acute Rheumatism,
and of the Nodosity of the Joints, 8vo., 1805 ; (vii) Synopsis Pharmacopoeiae Lon-
dinensis, 1810. — Besides several papers communicated to the Philosophical Trans-
actions and other scientific and professional works. — Of the publications, the first
attracted much notice upon its appearance, being translated into French by Dr De
la Roche, and into German by Dr Cappel, of Berlin. The means, however, which
it proposed for the extinction of the variolous poison were rendered abortive by the
astonishing discoveries of Dr Jenner.
Of the Imagination, it may be sufficient to say, that it is alluded to by Professor
Dugald Stewart, in his able Dissertation on the Progress of Philosophy (Encyclop.
Brit. Supp. vol. v. pt. i, p. 200), who considers that this volume is one of those
which has made a valuable addition to the stock of well-authenticated facts con-
cerning the influence of mind upon body.
But the energy of Dr Haygarth's mind was not confined to his profession.
His active benevolence in promoting the education and increasing the comforts of
the poor are well known. His endeavours upon the former point, when residing
at Chester, are recorded in A letter addressed to Bishop Porteoiis, 8vo., 1812, in
which he also calls the attention of the public to the state of the Free Schools in
the North of England ; and from the earnestness with which he was wont to solicit
the interference of his Parliamentary friends, he no doubt contributed in a great
degree to the late inquiry which the Legislature have carried into effect with regard
to the endowed schools of the kingdom in general.
His desire to benefit the community was also shown in the conspicuous part
he took in the formation of Savings Banks. When the inhabitants of Bath were
invited by a respectable member of the Society of Friends to consider the ad-
vantages of such institutions, he was the individual, who in the following month
(March 1818) devised and submitted a proposal, which after much discussion, and
a very extensive correspondence, was adopted in that city, and continued in active
operation for 18 months without any aid from Government. The principle of
Dr Haygarth's plan was that of self-support, by investing all the deposits in the
public funds, and making the depositors liable to their rise and fall. He was
encouraged in this view of the subject by the approbation of several whose opinions
carry weight in the political world, among whom were the Marquis of Lansdowne,
Professor Malthus, and the Right Hon. George Rose. Mr Rose afterwards modified
this plan in the Act of Parliament he introduced ; but in securing a fixed rate of
interest to the depositors, he entailed a charge upon the country, from which
Dr Haygarth's project was free. All particulars on the subject were published by
the Doctor in 1819, in a pamphlet entitled An Exposition of the Principles and
Proceedings of the Provident Institution at Bath for Savitigs.
Throughout his life Dr Haygarth cultivated an extensive acquaintance with
those who in any way contributed to the promotion of benevolent or scientific
objects, and thus "his name is associated with some of the most estimable characters
662 APPENDIX.
of the day. Among his friends well known for their intellectual endowments or
moral worth we may notice his kinsman Mr John Dawson, of Sedbergh, the
celebrated mathematician; Dr Percival, Dr Aikin, and Dr Falconer of Bath.
In his retirement from the active duties of his profession Dr Haygarth became
a considerable planter on a patrimonial estate in his native dale, to the inhabitants
of which he ever preserved a strong attachment.
With regard to the religious opinions of this respected individual, we find that
after thus devoting his days to the interests of humanity, he built his hopes in
another world (as the benevolent Howard had done), not on his own merits, but on
the merits of his Saviour.

(Nicholson and Burn, vol. i, 236). He married Miss Myles, of Ambleside, on
Wednesday, 7 November 1781 {Cambridge Chronicle, 17 November 1781). He was
Moderator and University Taxor in 1769. He died on Tuesday, 5 August 1806,
aged 66 (Cambridge Chronicle, 16 August 1806; Gentleman'' s Magazine, 1806,
p. 875). He was a member of the S.P.G.K., and Treasurer and Secretary to the
Humane Society in the Archdeaconry of Richmond. He was the author of A Tour
to the Caves in the Went Hiding of Yorkshire, in a letter to a Friend, inserted in
West's Guide to the Lakes. A correspondent of Notes and Queries, writing in July
1860, stated that he had in his posses^sion a MS. by Hutton, being a Treatise on
the Etymology of Words in the English Language derived from that of the Greek,
divided into several Classes according to their distinguishing circumstances. He
was the friend and correspondent of the Rev. Thomas Wilson, B.D., rector of
Claughton and Head Master of Clitheroe School, whose life and miscellanies have
been edited for the Chetham Society (Notes and Queries, 2nd Ser. ix. 444 ; x. 19 ;

P. 156 no. 38. The real name of this person was Sanderson, in which name he
graduated B.A. 1763, M.A. 1766, and was ordained. He was ordained Deacon
23 September 1764, being licensed next day to the curacy of Woodhorn, Northum-
berland ; he was ordained Priest 21 September 1766 and licensed next day to be
curate of the chapel of Widdington, within the parish of Woodhorn, on the
nomination of John Wibbersley, Vicar of Woodhorn, all by the Bishop of Durham.
He i-esigned this chapelry into the hands of the Bishop 10 September 1771. He
was elected second master of Morpeth Grammar School 26 July 1764, and was
elected Headmaster of that School 24 April 1772. He stood a contest for his
election with William Hall (P. 154 no. 6). At this contest 211 freemen voted, and
though Mr Sanderson had Lord Carlisle's powerful support he had a majority of
only five votes. The Bishop of Durham granted him his license as Schoolmaster
21 September 1772. He married, 23 February 1773, Lilia, fifth daughter of
William Cresswell of Cresswell. They had one son, who was a captain in the
Royal Navy. He resigned his mastership in 1806 (Hodgson, History of Northum-
berland, Part 2, Vol. ii, 202, 403, 404, where he is wrongly stated to be of Trinity
College). He was instituted Rector of Croxton, co. Cambridge, 16 June 1810.
Thomas Kidd, who succeeded him, was instituted 23 August 1813. He died at
Croxton Rectory 3 February 1814, being described as a man " of the most profound
learning and amiable manners" (Cambridge Chronicle, 25 February 1814). The
Tyne Mercury (quoted in the Cambridge Chronicle of 4 March 1814) says of him,
that his "profound and extensive learning in that appropriate aid to his pro-
fessional studies, the Hebrew and Oriental languages, gave an ornament to his
unassuming manners and irreproachable life. The character which a residence
APPENDIX. 663
of above forty years at Morpeth, as master of the endowed school, had established,
whilst it accompanied him to his distant preferment, left an impression which
absence Lad not impaired, nor diminished the regret with which the account of
his death was received by the many witnesses of Lis long experienced worth."
One William Sanderson who was instituted Rector of Gonalston, Notts., 23 June
1808, holding the living till 1811, may be the same man.

He was twice married, first on 2 July 1764 to Lady Anne Stuart, tbird daughter
of John, Earl of Bute, she was divorced in 1779; secondly, 25 May 1779 to Frances
Julia, third daughter of Peter Burrell, of Beckenham, and sister to Sur Peter
Burrell, afterwards Lord Gwydir.
His early inclination pointed to a mihtary career, and in military duties and
pursuits he spent the active part of his life, clearly giving himself up to the work
with heart and soul. Hia first experience of war was as a volunteer under Prince
664 APPENDIX.
Ferdinand of Brunswick in the Seven Years' War. He took part in the battle of
Bergen, and rode in Lord Granby's decisive charge upon the wavering French
columns at Minden. Amongst tlie MSS. at Alnwick Castle is preserved his Pocket
Book of Military Notes, 1760-1, which gives evidence of the diligence with which
he studied the art of war. His promotion in the Army, it will be observed, was
rapid, as was then usual with young men of rank. His appointment to the
command of the 5th Regiment of Foot formed the subject of a violent attack on
the Commander-in-Chief by Junius (Letter to Sir William Draper 7 February 1769).
In 1774 he embarked for Boston to take part in the American Revolutionary War.
His journal and letters, preserved at Alnwick, give a simple and faithful record of
his experiences, throwing light on many of the incidents of that struggle. His
commanding officer at first was General Gage, who placed him in charge of the
Camp at Boston. He was present at the battle of Lexington 19 April 1775,
covering the retreat of the Grenadiers and Light Infantry', who, advancing too far,
had been attacked and surrounded, having expended all their ammunition. General
Gage in his official despatch observed " that too much praise cannot be given to
Lord Percy, for his remarkable activity during the whole day." His letter to his
father, written the day after the battle, shows that the official despatch much
understated the losses of the British troops. He also took part in the battle of
Bunker's Hill, and in the reduction of Fort Washington, where he commanded the
assault. His relations with Sir William Howe, who had superseded General Gage
in the command of tlie King's forces, became very strained, and in spite of the
entreaties of his friends he returned to England. The Fifth Foot, whom be had
commanded, solicited and obtained authorisation to call themselves ' The Northum-
berland Fusiliers,' by which name the regiment is still known. Lord Percy,
as appears in many ways, seems to have been a difficult man to work with, but
there was something in his character which gained the respect of his foes. His
portrait still hangs in the Town Hall of Boston, and Americans, when they recall
the incidents of their great struggle, always mention the name of Lord Percy in
kindly and generous terms. With his return to England his active military career
came to an end.
In the year 1771 the Duke, his father, had applied to the King to confer the
governorship of Tynemouth Fort (an office usually disposed of in accordance with the
wishes of the Duke of Northumberland) upon Lord Percy, and the royal promise
was supposed to have been obtained. But when the vacancy occurred Lord North
passed Lord Percy over, a slight which was not forgiven. When peace was about
to be made with America Lord Percy was considered by his character, high rank,
and knowledge of America, to be well suited for the office of plenipotentiary then
proposed to be sent to the insurgent colonies. His friends pressed his claims, but
stipulated for the Garter as a necessary appanage to the embassy. To this the
answer was returned " that his lordship might depend upon it on his return." To
which, bearing his previous experience in mind, he replied " that being too well
acquainted with courts to trust to promises, if he could not have the Garter before
embarkation he must decline going." Accordingly the Earl of Carlisle was sent
instead.
For the remainder of his life he devoted himself chiefly to his duties as a
country gentleman, living in great state at Alnwick. As second Duke of Northum-
berland he did not take a public part in politics. His sympathies and friendship
were with Charles James Fox. For Pitt and his principles he had a great
detestation. He was tenacious of outward ceremonial, and conscious of his own
importance. He was several times invited to occupy prominent positions in
various ministerial combinations contemplated by the party in opposition, but
severely resented what he considered want of deference shown to him. When
Lord Grenville formed the Ministry of All the Talents in 1806 Fox had neglected
to consult the Duke, or to communicate to him the grounds on which he and his
party had been induced to join the new cabinet. This roused the Duke's anger
and he issued a circular to those members of the House of Commons who sat
as his nominees ; the following passage in the circular curiously illustrates the
power exercised by a great noble at that time: "I must desire that you and my
other friends will refrain from taking any part in the debates, as well as giving
your vote upon such j)ropositions as may be offered to the House by the new
administration, until I am able to judge of the principles upon which this new
coalition intend to govern the country." The difference was made up by the Prince
of Wales, who wrote a letter of fourteen closely-written pages to the Duke.
APPENDIX. 665
He seems to have been a very kindly man and a good ofi&cer. He had a rooted
aversion to corporal punishment, and during the whole period of his regimental
command the lash was not once called into requisition. At a time when the hospital
service of the army was much neglected his personal efforts and private funds
ensured care and comfort to the sick and wounded, and as a proof of his solicitude
for the soldier, it may be mentioned that all the widows of those under his
command who had fallen at Bunker's Hill were sent to England at his own cost,
severally provided with a sum of money on their landing, and transported to their
various homes. He presented a large sum of money to Mr Kemble when that actor
was in distress owing to the burning of Drury Lane Theatre. And on the death of
Joseph Richardson, M.P., he assisted the widow and family.
His independence is shewn by the fact that when the Prince Regent wrote to
the Duke suggesting that Tom Sheridan should be nominated for one of his Grace's
boroughs, he received the reply that it was the Duke's intention to reserve the seat
in question for his eldest son. He attended carefully to his duties as a landlord,
repairing and rendering comfortable the farm-houses in his northern estates. He
beautified and improved Alnwick Castle, and Northumberland House in London.
He endeavoured to set an example to others, shewn in a curious way by the
following memorandum sent to his house steward at Sion House at a time of
scarcity, when with the view of alleviating distress an order was passed by the
Privy Council enjoining economy in private households.
" To Henderson, 17 July 1795
' ' In consequence of the present scarcity of wheat, and in compliance
with the desire of His Majesty's Privy Council communicated to me by the Duke
of Portland, you will give the most positive directions to the butler that neither
rolls, nor any other sort of wheaten bread finer than that which, in an Act of
Parliament passed in the 13th year of His Majesty's reign, is called by the name
of Standard Wheaten Bread, be after this day brought in to my family.... Also that
the Clerk of the Kitchen be desired to make no puddings, pies, or tarts, or cakes
in which flour is used; and that my own dinner for the future is to consist of one
course, unless orders are given to the contrary; and no hot joint, and only one
kind of cold meat, be at my side table."
The Duke died at Northumberland House in Loudon 10 July 1817, and was
buried with much state in Westminster Abbey on July 19 (Annual Biography for
1818, 118-127, where there is a silhouette portrait; E. B. de Foublanque, Annals
of the House of Percy, ii, 547-568, this contains many extracts from letters and
other documents preserved at Alnwick; Dictionary of National Biography ; Chester,
Westminster Abbey Registers, 493).
P. 167 no. 9. See the admission of his brother, P. 155 no. 27. Charles Pigott
Pritchett became a Conduct Fellow of King's College. Gunning, Reminiscences of
Cambridge, i, 137, has this anecdote with regard to the two brothers. " ...the Rev.
Richard Pritchett, of St John's, who had a living in Suffolk, and had a brother
at the same College, who was so very like him in voice and appearance, and so
very unlike every other person, that during their residence in College together the
most ridiculous mistakes were frequently occurring. One of them was Conduct
Fellow of King's, who wishing for a month's absence, applied to the Provost for
permission : his brother became his substitute. About ten days afterwards, the
Provost expressed his surprise to the Vice-Provost, that the Conduct who had asked
leave of absence had not yet quitted the College. The Vice-Provost informed him
that his place had been supplied by his brother. The Provost expressed his
surprise and great dissatisfaction, and remarked that no person but a member
of the College ought to have been allowed to perform the service without his
permission. I am tempted to relate another anecdote of the Pritchetts which
produced much mirth amongst many Members of the University at the time it
occurred. Soon after the incident I have mentioned, the elder brother got a living,
and resolved on taking a wife. He talked very seriously to his brother of his
intention to marry, and of his apprehension that so extraordinary was the likeness
between them, that even the zvife might sometimes find a difl&culty in distinguishing
which was really her husband. He then gravely proposed that the younger brother
should wear a wig ; the younger brother remarking that as the elder had got a
good living, and he hoped would get a good wife, it was lie who ought to be at
the expense of a wig. At this period wigs were considered very ornamental, and

many of the clergy seemed to vie with each other in having the most expensive.
It is probable that the lady did not approve of the wig, for it was finally settled
that the younger brother should wear it, and that the elder should defray the
expense incurred. I knew them both ; and when spoken of, they were usually
distinguished as ' Wife and no Wig,' and ' Wig and no Wife'."

Ward who was instituted Eector of Thornton Dale, in Pickering, Yorks., 20 July
1768, and held the living until 1781.
P. 159 no. 5. John Milward was ordained Deacon 9 March 1766 by the Bishop
of Lincoln, at a special ordination in the Chapel Royal, Whitehall ; he was licensed
next day to the curacy of Eastwell, Leicestershire; he was ordained Priest by
the Bishop of London 12 July 1767. He was instituted Vicar of Framfield, Sussex,
17 July 1767, on the presentation of Sackville, Earl of Thanet. He died in 1771,
and was succeeded by his brother Joseph Milward (of Queen's College, Oxford,
B.A. 1769) (Sussex Archaeological Collections, xxvi, 45).
P. 159 no. 6. John Garrett was ordained Deacon 3 March 1765 by the Bishop
of Norwich, at the request of the Bishop of Exeter. He is no doubt the John
Garrett who was Headmaster of the Grammar School at Chudleigh, co. Devon.
He is said to have been an excellent scholar and critic, and to have brought the
school to a high state of efficiency (Carlisle, Endowed Grammar Schools, i, 253).
He was instituted Rector of Brushford, co. Somerset, 31 July 1790, and Vicar of
Culmstock, CO. Devon, 30 July 1801. He held both livings until his death in 1811
{Gentleman's Magazine, 1811, ii, 195 a). As confirming the identification of John
Garrett, it should be noticed that while he took the B.A. degree in 1765 he did not
proceed to the M.A. degree till 1801. He no doubt then took it m order to qualify
him under the Canons Ecclesiastical of 1603, to hold two benefices,
P. 159 no. 8. John Pilborough was ordained Deacon 3 March and Priest 22
December 1765 by the Bishop of London. He was for some time curate at Ang-
meriug, Sussex ; the baptisms of several of his children are recorded in the parish
register (Mr E. H. W. Dunkin). He died at Colchester in December 1785 (Cam-
bridge Chronicle, 31 December 1785).
P. 159 no. 9. Christopher Hull was ordained Deacon 25 March 1765 and licensed
to the curacy of Beckbury, and Priest 1 June 1766 (his title being the curacy of
Willey), all by the Bishop of Hereford. He was nominated by the Vicar of Kirk-
ham to the curacy of Goosnargh, Lancashire, 15 August 1770 (and licensed thereto
by the Bishop of Chester 22 August), then said to be worth near £100 per annum
(Cambridge Chronicle, 11 August 1770). On 31 May 1782 he was nominated by
the College, Headmaster of Sedbergh School, on the death of Wynne Bateman.
In June 1790 he was appointed Rector of Aspenden, Hertfordshire, when he re-
signed the curacy of Goosnargh. During his ministry at Goosnargh a partial
repair of the church was made. He was not a success as master at Sedbergh.
He died very suddenly (dropping down dead in the street), 3 January 1799, aged
58, and was buried in the chancel of Sedbergh church (Fishwick, History of
Goosnargh, 35; Piatt, History of the Parish and Grammar School of Sedbergh,
157-9).

to the curacy of Wymeswold, co. Leicester, he was ordained Priest 19 February
176i>, all by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was instituted Rector of Thistleton, co.
Rutland, 2(3 March 1771, and Rector of Ayston in the same county 10 November
1780. On 6 November 1780, when he is described as chaplain to Robert, Earl of
Harborough, he received a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to
hold Thistleton with Ayston, the value of each living beiug stated to be £100, and
their distance apart not more than 13 miles. He held both livings until his death
at Ayston 16 April 1834, aged 90 (Justin Simpson, Obituary and Records for the
counties of Lincoln, Rutland, and Northampton, 319). He was a Governor of
Uppingham School (Carlisle, Endowed Grammar Schoohi, ii, 333).
P. 189 no. 13. The name of both father and son should be Aldrich. The
father was of Emmanuel College, B.A. 1729. The father was Rector of St John
the Baptist, Clerkenwell, and lecturer of St Botolph, Bishopsgate, and also held
preferment in Essex. He married Miss Richardson, of Stanway Hall, near Col-
chester, with a fortune of £10,000 (Hennessy, Novum Repertorium, 245). Stephen
Aldrich, the younger, was ordained Deacon 3 March 1765 and Priest 21 December
1767 by the Bishop of London. He was instituted Rector of Chickney, co. Essex,
7 April 1776.
P. 159 no. 14. The father was probably the Samuel Hall who was instituted
Vicar of Long Houghton 12 November 1730, vacating this on being instituted
Vicar of Chatton, 20 July 1752, both co. Northumberland. He held Chatton until
1775. Samuel Hall, the younger, does not appear in the printed Graduati Canta-

B.A. of St John's College, Cambridge), and was licensed to the curacy of Chatton
and Doddington, co. Northumberland, next day, he was ordained Priest 22 Sept-
ember 1765, all by the Bishop of Durham. He was instituted Vicar of Chatton
13 July 1782, and held the living until 1799.
P. 159 no. 15. George Travis was the only son of John Travis, of Heyside,
in the parish of Royton, near Shaw, Lancashire. His grandfather, also named
George, who died in 173i), was descended from the family of Travis of Inchfield,
in Rochdale parish, which had migrated thither from Blackley, near Manchester,
in the time of Queen Elizabeth. Young Travis received the early part of his
education from his uncle the Rev. Benjamin Travis (of St Catharine's, B.A. 1748),
then incumbent of Royton. He was admitted to Manchester Grammar School
13 January 1756. At first he seems to have inclined to a legal career: for
George Tra^'ise, only son of John Travise, of Royton, co. Lancaster, was admitted
a student of the Middle Temple 4 May 1761. But after taking his degree, as fifth
Senior Optime and Senior Chancellor's Medallist in 1765, he was ordained
Deacon by the Bishop of Norsvich 3 March 1765, at the request of the Bishop of
Lincoln, and Priest by the Bishop of Lincoln 22 December 1765 with letters
dimissory from the Bishop of Chester. On 21 March 1766 he was instituted
Vicar of Eastham, in the Hundred of Wirral, Cheshire, on the nomination of the
Crown. On 13 August 1767 he was appointed perpetual curate of Bioraborough,
an adjacent parish, on the nomination of the Dean and Chapter of Chester, and
again instituted Vicar of Eastham 14 August 1767. On 9 February 1783 he was
collated by Bishop Porteous to a Prebend in Chester Cathedral, and on 27 Sep-
tember 1786 he was appointed Archdeacon of Chester. He was instituted Rector
of Handley, Cheshire, 12 February 1787, and again instituted Vicar of Eastham
13 February 1787, holding all these preferments until his death. In 1766 he
married Ann, daughter and coheiress of James Stringfellow, esq., of Whiufield,
who survived him. He resided at Eastham all his life. The value of that living
was but £30 a year anl Bromborough then about £13. He appears to have
possessed considerable private means. The preceding Vicars of Eastham had, as
far as the memory of the parishioners went back, " lived for the greatest part of
their lives on charity, and died insolvent." " Unable," says Travis, •' to assert the
rights of the Vicarage, they bartered them away in unequal compacts, or aban-
doned them through a despair of enforcing their payment." Travis was resolved
to vindicate these rights to the utmost. Haviag first made himself a master of
the Law of Tithe, on which he became an eminent authority, he commenced
proceedings against the principal landowners in the parish, who leagued themselves
together to resist his demands. He carried on the contest single-handed, knowing
672 APPENDIX.
that the law was on his side. His opponents sought to stop him by carrying the
case from court to court. "Relying on their wealth," he writes in 1778, "they
are determined that even my successes shall be ruinous to me, and have accordingly
carried the principal of the causes, after two unanimous decrees in the Court of
Exchequer against them, before the highest court of judicature in the kingdom...
They do not depend on their own strength, but on my weakness and inability to
pursue them." In spite of the strength and wealth of his opponents, Travis
succeeded in defeating them on every point; and after expending some £2000
in the struggle, be had the satisfaction of raising the value of the living to over
£100 a year. Travis appears to have been an excellent parish priest. His answers
to the Visitation Articles of Bishops Porteous and Cleaver throw a great anionnt
of light upon the state of the parish at the time. The vicarage house and out-
buildings, which were in ruins at his accession, were put in a state of complete
repair by him at an expense of upwards of £500. The church, which was ex-
ceedingly dilapidated, was also put in good repair. The church services were
frequent, and two sermons were preached every Sunday — a somewhat unusual
occurrence in the eighteenth century.
Travis died at Hampstead 24 February 1797, where he had gone for change
of air, and was buried there 6 March (Park, History of Hampstead, 344). There
is a monument to his memory in the north aisle of Chester Cathedral, with a
profile portrait. It bears the inscription : " Sacred to the memory | of the Reverend
George Travis M.A. | late Archdeacon of Chester | and Vicar of Eastham in this
county I who departed this life February 24, 1797 | He was a man whose extensive
learning | active mind and generous heart I were assiduously exercised in the
service | of religion, his country and his neighbour | his loss will long be regretted
and his memory ever revered | Reader | this eulogy is no flattery | but the sincere
testimony of | a sorrowing friend " {Mancliester School Register, i, 67-8 ; Wirral
Notes and Queries, i, 21, 24).
Travis is chiefly notable for his controversy with Gibbon and Person, in defence
of the three heavenly witnesses. Gibbon had observed in a note in the third
volume of his history with reference to the disputed text 1 John v. 7, that " the
three witnesses have been established in our Greek Testaments by the prudence
of Erasmus, the honest bigotry of the Complutensian editors ; the typographical
fraud or error of Robert Stephens in the placing of a crotchet, and the deliberate
falsehood or strange misrepresentation of Theodore Beza." This dictum of Gibbon,
Travis took upon himself to overthrow in a series of letters to the Gentleman's
Magazine, these were afterwards published with the title: Letters to Edward
Gibbon, Esq., Author of the History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Evipire :
in defence of the authenticity of the seventh verse of the fifth chapter of the first
Epistle of St John (Fletcher, Chester, 1784, 4to. ; 2ud edition, London, 1785 ; 8vo. ;
3rd edition 1794, 8vo.). To these letters Richard Porson replied in the form of
letters to the Gentleman's Magazine in 1788 and 1789, afterwards published in book
form. The controversy was most bitter. Travis's attack upon Gibbon has been
characterised as violent, but it is mildness itself when compared with Porson's
attack upon Travis. Porson's ' Letters ' having been described by Dr Rennell to be
"such a book as the devil would write if he could hold a pen." An account of
the controversy will be found in Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, ix, 78-82 ; in Watson's
Life of Richard Porson, 55-84. Gibbon also wrote on the matter with bitterness :
"The bigoted advocates of Popes and monks may be turned over even to the
bigots of Oxford {sic), and the wretched Travis still howls under the lash of
the mercyless Porson " (Murray, The Autobiographies of Edward Gibbon, 1896,
p. 322).
The following account of Archdeacon Travis is given in Nichols, Literary
Anecdotes, ix, 78: " Though a pluralist, and a man of respectable talents, Mr Travis
was remarkably affable, facetious, and pleasant. The universality of his genius
was evinced by the various transactions in which he was concerned, and in all of
which he excelled. In his manners the gentleman and the scholar were gracefully
and happily blended. Among other branches of knowledge he appears to have
been familiarly acquainted with the Law of Tithes ; but turning his mind too
eagerly to sacred criticism he undertook to vindicate the controverted text, 1 John
V. 7 ; and met with powerful antagonists in Griesbaeh, Porson, Marsh, and Pappel-
baum. His labours however, have proved not a little useful to the world, having
excited a closer attention of learned men to the MSS. of Stephens, to the Vatican

Readings, and the MS. at Berlin, drc. relative to tbe authenticity of the present
text of the Greek Testament."

haps identical with the Francis Kingston, sou of Robert Lumley Kingston, of
St Trinity, Dorchester, gentleman, who matriculated at Oxford from Trinity
College 17 August 1765, aged 18, taking the degrees of B.A. 1770 and M.A 1774
from New College. He was afterwards a Fellow of New College, and was collated
on 26 December 1771 to the Rectory of Turnworth and the Vicarage of Winter-
bourne Whitchurch, Dorset, holding both livings until his death. He was buried
in the cloisters of New College, where on a tablet there is the following inscription
to his memory: "M.S. | Revereudi Francisci Kingston M.A. | Hujus Collegii per
quindecennium Soeii | Pietate, honestate, doctrina | Probatissimi : | Qui obiit, eheu !
immaturi | Die Januarii 6to a.d. 1781 aetat. suae 84. | Nihil illi querulum labefacta
valetudo" (Foster, Aluvini Oxonienses ; Hutchins, History of Dorset, i, 203; iii, 474).
The Oxonian is stated to have been educated at Winchester, while the St John's
man is stated to have been educated at Dorchester ; he may have gone to Winchester
instead of coming to St John's. It will be observed that he entered the College at
an unusually early age.

by T. Banks, R.A., in the form of a recumbent child was also placed in Ashbourn
church with inscriptions in English, Latin, Italian, and French, recording that:
" The unfortunate parents ventured their all in this frail bark, and the wreck was
total." It is said that Sir Francis Chantrey designed his celebrated monument of
the two sleeping children in Lichfield Cathedral, in an Ashbourn inn after a visit
to the monument of Penelope Boothby (Glover, History of Derbyshire, ii, 36, 43,
where there is a pedigree; Cox, Derbyshire Churches, ii, 392; History and Topo-
graphy of Ashbourn, 35-38). Sir Brooke Boothby, of St John's, was a member of
the literary circle at Lichfield and a friend of Erasmus Darwin, with whom he

enumerating the friends of Erasmus Darwin, says: "A votary to botanic science,
a deep reasoner, and a clear-sighted politician is Sir Brooke Boothby, as his
convincing refutation of that splendid, dazzling, and misleading sophistry, Burke
on the French Revolution, has proved" (Seward, Memoirs of the Life of Dr Darwin,

{Cambridge Chronicle, 12 April 1806).
In the year 1766 Thomas Craster made a transcript of the Codex Bezae for
Kennicott, by whom it was sent to J. S. Semler, who published from it the Latin
version of St John in 1771, at the end of his Paraphrasis Evan. Joann. cum notis.
Griesbach also consulted the manuscript, but is said to have taken from it only
one reading, and that false iirriyeipav, Acts xiv. 2 (Scrivener, Codex Bezae Canta-
brigiensis, Introduction, xii).

Rev. Towers Allen, of Lynn, appears as a subscriber to T. Underwood's Poems
in 1768.
P. 162 no. 22. The father was not Vicar of Carlton in Craven. He may be the
Thomas Deason who was Vicar of Middleton, Yorks., from 1743 to 1763.
Thomas Deason, of St John's, was ordained Deacon 21 September 1766 by the
Bishop of Lincoln (with letters dimissory from the Bishop of Ely), and Priest
18 December 1768 by the Bishop of London. The Gentleman's Magazine for 1771,
p. 46, announces the marriage in 1770 of the Rev. Mr Deason, Vicar of Faceby,
Yorkshire, to Miss Greenside, of Broughton. This Thomas Deason is to be
distinguished from Thomas Deason, of Lincoln College, Oxford, who was Perpetual
Curate of Whitworth, Durham, and died 12 December 1833 (Foster, Alumni
Oxonienses ; Gentleman's Magazine, 1833, ii, 551 h).
P. 162 no. 23. Robert Fountaine was ordained Deacon 29 September 1766, when

5 February 1802. All these livings being in Kent. He held the two latter until his
death in 1818 (Shindler, Registers of the Cathedral Church of Rochester, 89;
Foster, Index Eccleaiasticus, 1800-40). The Parish Register of Linton in Craven
has the following entry : " Robert, son of Mr Richard Fountaine, the elder, of Linton,
was baptized the 7 of December 1743."
P. 162 no. 24. Richard Arnald, the father, was of Corpus Christi College
(B.A. 1717), and afterwards Fellow of Emmanuel. He was Rector of Thurcaston,
CO. Leicester, from 1733 until his death, 4 September 1756. He was author of a
Commentary on the Apocrypha, forming part of the well-known Commentary on the
Holy Scriptures, which bears the names of Patrick, Whitby, and Lowth.
William Arnald was Senior W^rangler in 1766. The jear contained several
distinguished men. The second wrangler was John Law, of Christ's College,
brother of the first Lord Ellenborough, and successively Bishop of Clonfert, Killala,
and Elphin. Law is said to have remembered with bitterness all through his life
his deleat for this academic honour. The third wrangler was R. Graham, of Trinity,
afterwards a Baron of the Exchequer ; and the last wrangler, Arden, of Trinity,
afterwards Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas and Lord Alvanley.
William Arnald was elected Naden Divinity Student of the College 3 November
1766, and was admitted Fellow 7 April 1767. He became one of the Tutors of the
College in 1768. He was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of Lincoln 10 June 1770.
He was appointed Whitehall Preacher in 1773 (Cambridge Chronicle, 1 May 1773).
He was admitted to the office of Sacrist in College 26 February 1772, became
Steward 27 February 1773, holding this for a year.
Early in life he had attracted the attention of Richard Hurd, afterwards
successively Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, and of Worcester. In 1775 Hurd,
then Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, appointed him one of his chaplains. In
1776 Bishop Hurd was appointed Preceptor to the Prince of Wales and Duke
of York, and on his recommendation William Arnald was appointed Sub-Preceptor.
They held these offices until 1781. Arnald was tutor to the prince in Natural
Science.
On 15 July 1778 he was collated by Bishop Hurd to the Precentorship of
Lichfield Cathedral, with the Prebend of Bishops Itchington attached, and on
7 September 1779 was appointed by the King to a Canoury of Windsor. He held
both these until his death.
In 1781 he preached the Commencement Sermon before the University. This
APPENDIX. 679
was published after his death with the title : The Important Station of an English
University. A Sermon [on Matt. v. 14] preached at Cambridge, Commencement
Sunday, 1781. London, 1803, 4to. This sermon it is said " gave offence by the
honest freedom of its exhortation to maintain the character of the University by a
regard to letters, moralsv and religion." And is described by Kilvert as "a model
of sober piety and sound judgment in its sentiments, and of elegant simplicity in
its expression."
In January 1782 "to the unspeakable regret, as well as surprise of all his
friends, symptoms of insanity unhappily put a stop to any expectation of further
preferment ; and that, too, at a moment when the highest Personage in the Kingdom
had condescended so far to interest himself in his welfare as to advise him to
enquire into the value of the living of Twickenham, just then vacated by the death
of Mr Collard" (Nichols, History of Leicestershire, iii, 1071). From this time until
his death he continued under restraint. Several gentlemen, however, to whom
he was known, used to visit him and play with him at backgammon. His delusion
seemed to be ambition. He sometimes wore a mitre, and while yielded to was
tolerably composed. His death is thus mentioned by Bishop Hurd in his dates of
occurrences : " My most deserving, unhappy friend, Dr William Arnald, died at
Leicester Aug. 5, 1802 " (Kilvert, Life and Correspondence of Bishop Hurd, 129
—130).
The Gentleman's Magazine for 1802, p. 884, in announcing his death, adds:
" The unhappy situation of his mind for 20 years has been the cause of real grief
to a numerous circle of friends, who, attached to him by the strongest ties of
gratitude and affection, admired his abilities, loved the sweetness of his manners,
and acknowledged the goodness of his heart, "
On the north side of the chancel of Thurcaston Church there is a monument
to his memory with the following inscription : " Sacred | to the memory of [ the
Rev. William Arnald, D.D. | son of the | Eev. Richard Arnald | late Rector of this
parish. | He was formerly | Preceptor to their | Royal Highnesses | the Prince of
Wales I and Duke of York | one of the Canons of Windsor | and | Precentor of
Lichfield Cathedral. | He departed this life the 5th of August | in the year of our
Lord 1802 | and in the 56th year of his age " (Nichols, I.e. 1061 ; see also Manchester
School Register, i, 76, 77 ; Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, ii, 704 ; Kilvert, I.e. 121J,
130, 132, 136, 143).
Cole, in his Collections for an Athenae Cantabrigienses (Brit. Mas. Addl. MSS.
5862), has the following notes on William Arnald:
" This ingenious man, at a very early period, was made Tutor of the College,
and had it not been on account of his youth was thought to have been most likely
to have succeeded to the Mastership in 1779 on the death of Dr Powell. He had
secured the Oratorship on the designed resignation of Mr Beadon: but in May
1776, on Bishop Hurd's being made Preceptor to the Prince of Wales, he was
appointed Sub-Preceptor. And though many people thought his views at Cambridge
were such as made it hardly worth his while to exchange his situation, yet the
entrance into a Court, and an assurance that he would be soon made amends for
his loss at St John's, determined him to quit College; where his income is judged
to be £800 per annum. Not a month before Miss ToUard, niece to the late Master,
who left her all his great fortune, died and left him a legacy of £500. About July
1778 Bishop Hurd collated him to the Precentorship of Lichfield.
" In the infamous Cambridge Chronicle of Saturday, January 1, 1780, was this
Anecdote inserted on purpose to make the King contemptible in the eyes of his
people ; a Liberty allowed in no Country but our own, where Faction, Radicalism,
Republicanism and Dissention ride triumphant.
"Anecdote. On the late change of System, it is to be hoped for the better in
the education of Princes, Mr Arnald was made Sub-Preceptor ; and to acquire the
dignity becoming his situation, thought proper to cut off his hair, and assume the
wig. The King desired the Queen to order a bushy wig to be modelled in pastry,
after his own plan as usual, which he sent to Arnald accompanied by a letter
graciously written with his own hand, disguised as if coming from one of the
Maids of Honour, replete with sterling humour and good things, rallying him on
his want of taste in the choice of his present wig, insinuating a Tendre for his
person and recommending the pastry wig as a pattern for his perruquier. The
joke was highly relished for a day or two, in the little amiable circle, and the
laugh went round at the expense of poor Arnald. But the King could hold no
680 APPENDIX,
longer, he threw himself in his way — ' Well, Arnald ! Well, Arnald ! what, what,
what ? Ha, ha, ha ! he, he, he ! So you have got a pattern wig have you ? From
one of the Maids of Honour too, ha? a good joke e' faith; a good joke ! you are
sure it came from one of the Maids of Honour too, ha? You don't think I wrote
the letter, do you ? What, what, what ? Ha, ha, ha ! He, he, he ! ' Arnald, as
became him, played the gentle echo to the loud laugh of Royalty; and from that
moment he protests, that his most gracious Master was great a Wit, as he is
acknowledged to be a Statesman, General, Divine, Architect, Mathematician, and
Mechanic.
"This abuse of the King and of Mr Arnald puts me in mind of a story told me
by a friend of mine, and Mr Arnald's, some six years ago. My friend, now a
Master of a College, and well acquainted with the great Dr Samuel Johnson,
happened to be in London and lodged in the same house with Mr Arnald, who had
no small curiosity to be introduced into the company of so learned and celebrated
a man as Dr Johnson. My friend offered to be his introducer, and had privately
taken an opportunity to advertize the Doctor of his design, letting him know that
the friend he meant to introduce was a most ingenious man, and had been educated
or brought up among the dissenters. Soon after the usual compliments were over
Dr Johnson in his blunt manner, but seemingly without knowing the education he
had had, addressed him in this rough manner, ' Young gentleman, sayd he, take
it for granted from me, and as a certain truth, that when you see a Whig, you see
a Eascal.' My friend was no less astonished at the assertion than was Mr Arnald,
who probably since that time has had opportunities of being satisfied that Dr John-
son's position was not so paradoxical as it appeared to him then, and that there was
at least some foundation for it.
' ' From the design to render Mr Arnald ridiculous at Cambridge, I am persuaded
this anecdote [Cole seems here to refer to the wig episode] is the offspring of some
bigotted Presbyterian or Independent of that place, either Town or University, both
replete enough with these, in revenge for his office so near his Majesty. I recollect
hearing one of the kidney, within the fortnight, speaking slightly of him : it is now
plain to me from whence rises the antipathy.
"In January 1782, in the night, he was seized with a frenzy, got up, broke all
the windows and glasses, and cut himself in a lamentable condition. He was
immediately confined, Dr Heberden, Dr Gisborne sent for, who ordered him to the
care of Dr Munro. It seems his mother is mad of a melancholy style, and his
brother an idiot. His father was Rector of Thurcaston in Leicestershire, where
Dr Hurd succeeded him, and finding the brother and son in the house when he
went to take possession, the parts of the young man struck him, and he recommended
him to be Sub-preceptor when he was appointed Preceptor to the Prince of Wales.
It is a most fatal stroke for so promising a prospect, especially as the King had a
personal regard for him. His father had published a sequel of Patrick and Lowth, &c.
Mr Arnald was educated at Manchester School, and had an Exhibition, which sent
him to St John's, otherwise was designed for Emmanuel. A very unfortunate
family, one of his brothers lately drowned and his sisters ill-married or worse."

P. 162 no. 25. Luke Gardiner was the son and heir of Charles Gardiner
(afterwards the Right Honourable), of Dublin, by Florinda, daughter of Robert
Norman, of Lagore, co. Meath. He was born 7 February 1745. His father, who
died 15 November 1769, succeeded some months previously, on the death of the
third Viscount Mountjoy, his maternal grandfather, to much of the property of that
family. Luke Gardiner proceeded B.A. 1766 and M.A. 1769. He was M.P. for the
county of Dublin in three parliaments, viz. 1769-1776, 1776-1783, and 1783-1789.
He was a Privy Councillor and Colonel of the Dublin Militia. He was created,
19 September 1789, Baron Mountjoy, of Mountjoy, co. Tyrone ; and subsequently,
on 30 September 1795, Viscount Mountjoy, of Mountjoy, co. Tyrone. He married
firstly Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Sir William Montgomery, first baronet, of
Magbiehill, co. Peebles. She died 7 November 1783. He married secondly,
20 October 1793, Margaret, first daughter of Hector Wallis, of Spring Mount,
Queen's County. He died 5 June 1798, being slain at the head of his regiment at
the battle of Ross in Ireland (Burke, Dormant and Extinct Peerages, 227 ; Cokayne's
Complete Peerage, v, 403 ; Cambridge Chronicle, 16 June 1798 ; Cooper's Monthly
Magazine, v, 460). The Gentleman's Magazine, 1798, i, 541, in an obituary notice
has the following : Miss Wallis, his second wife, was brought up to the millinery

business in Dublin, but her beauties and accomplishments were perhaps unrivalled
in that or any other country. He was a nobleman of distinguished talents, and of
the most amiable character; the patron of literature; and, with a mind highly
cultivated, would have made no inconsiderable figure in the Eepublic of Letters if
he had exerted his abilities. No man possessed a more loyal and patriotic character,
or a more hearty detestation of those mischievous declaimers in Ireland who have
aided the rebellions of that country, and covered a partiality for French doctrines
under the dangerous cant of emancipation.
P. 162 no. 26. Walter Burne did not graduate at Cambridge. It is probable
that he was the Walter Burne, son of John Burne, Hector of Stowford, Devon,
who matriculated at Oxford from All Souls' 16 July 1762, aged 17 ; he took the
B.A. degree at Oxford in 1766 (Foster, Alumni Oxonievses). One Walter Burne
was instituted Rector of Lifton, co. Devon, 26 April 1771, and held the living until
1798.

by the Bishop of London. He was instituted Rector of Tostock, Suffolk, 4 December
1775, on the presentation of Thomas Moseley, esquire {Cambridge Chronicle,
16 December 1775). He married Miss Sukey Sparrow, of Saffron Walden, Essex
(ibid., 22 June 1776). In the church of Tostock, within the chancel on the north
side is a flat freestone with this inscription: — "In Memory of | The Rev. Maurice

P. 162 no. 29. Robert Russel migrated to Trinity College, where he was admitted
a sizar under Mr Backhouse 24 November 1762. He then wrote his name Russel.
He took the B.A. degree from Trinity College as Russel in 1767. He was admitted
a Fellow of St John's, 29 January 1770, on the nomination of the Bishop of Ely,
then signing his name Russell. His fellowship was filled up again in 1777. He
was instituted Vicar of Bodiham 8 September 1770, and Rector of Ewhurst 2 August
1776. Both livings, which are in Sussex, were vacant in 1803. On 12 July 1769
the College nominated Thurston Blackman, of Clifford's Inn, London, attomey-at-
law, and William Chafy, esquire. Fellow of Sidney Sussex College, one of the
exercent Proctors of the Consistorial Court of the Bishop of Ely, to be proctors and
attorneys for the College in a case before the Bishop of Ely as Visitor, in the matter
of an appeal by Robert Russell, clerk, B.A.
P. 162 no. 30. Henry Churley Manley was instituted Vicar of Sampford Arundel,
Somerset, 26 September 1768, on the presentation of Jeremiah Woodbury, gent.
He was instituted Rector of Tollard Royal, Wilts., 12 November 1770, on the
presentation of Thomas Hardwick, gent., and Matthew Maddock, clerk (Phillipps,
Institutionen Wiltoniae, ii, 85). He ceded Tollard Royal on his institution, 3 February
1789, to the Rectory of Hawkridge, Somerset, 3 February 1789, on the presentation
of Catherine Portbury Wood, spinster, and ceded this on his institution, 23 January
1801, to the Rectory of Bradford, near Taunton, Somerset. He held Bradford with
Sampford Arundel until his death in February or March, 1819, aged 78, having
" discharged his sacred duties in both his parishes to within a few weeks of his
dissolution " {Gentleman^s Magazine, 1819, i, 283 a ; Christian Remembrancer, i,
263 b).
P. 163 no. 31. Charles Le Grice was descended from an ancient Norfolk family.
He was ordained Priest 18 December 1768 by the Bishop of Norwich. He married
on Saturday 21 March 1772, at Bury St Edmunds, Miss Sophia Ann Day, of Bury
{Cambridge Chronicle, 28 March 1772). In 1778 he was elected Lecturer of
St James', Bury. He was instituted Rector of Thwaite St George, Suffolk, on
6 July 1775 on the presentation of Sir Samuel Prime and Dame Hannah his wife,
and on 18 March 1785 he was instituted Rector of Wickhampton, Norfolk. Holding
these livings until his death. In 1789 he was brought into some trouble through
the Bishop of Norwich refusing him a licence to the Lectureship of St James',
though he had held it more than ten years. Mr Le Grice in consequence moved
the Court of King's Bench for a Mandamus against the Bishop, but the matter
was amicably settled by his Lordship voluntarily consenting to grant the licence.
Mr Le Grice afterwards published a statement of his case (The Case of the
S. 44
682 APPENDIX.
Eev. C. Le Gnce, 8°, pp. 14, 1788). He died at Thwaite and is buried there in
the chancel, with the following memorial on a small piece of freestone : —
"In Memory of the ReV" | Charles Le Grice | who died 27 April | 1792 | aged
50 years" (Gentlevian's Magazine, Ixii, 480; Ipswich Journal, 7 February, 9, 16,
and 23 May 1789; Davy, Athenae Suffolcienses, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 19,166).
His widow died at Stonehouse 21 May 1830, aged 79.
One of his sons, Charles Valentine Le Grice, born 14 February 1773, was
admitted to Christ's Hospital on the gift of Thomas Guy, esquire, and was the
friend and schoolfellow of Charles Lamb (see Charles Lamb's Essay, Christ^s
Hospital Five and Thirty Years Ago; Lockhart, Christ's Hospital, List of Uni-
versity Exhibitioners). He was of Trinity College, Cambridge, B.A. 1796. In 1806
he was appointed by the Mayor and Corporation of Penzance Perpetual Curate
and Lecturer of St Mary's, Penzance (Cambridge Chronicle, 16 May 1806). He died
24 December 1858 at his residence Trereife, Penzance, aged 85 (Boase and Courtney,
Bibliotheca Cornubiensis, i, 311 — 314, iii, 1266-7 ; Gentleinan''s Magazine, 1859,
322 — 324 ; Boase, Collectanea Cornubiensia, 485).
Another son, Samuel Le Grice, baptized 1 November 1775, admitted to Christ's
Hospital in April 1783, died from the effects of the climate while serving in the
Peninsular War (Lockhart, I.e.).
His eldest daughter, Sophia Le Grice, married at East Stonehouse, Devonshire,
28 August 1806, Spelman Swaine, esquire, Captain E.N. [Cambridge Chronicle,
6 September 1806).
P. 163 no. 1. Henry Hetley was admitted a Fellow of the College 14 March
1769. He was ordained Dfeacon 14 June 1767 by the Bishop of Lincoln and
licensed to the Curacy of Alwalton, Hunts., and Priest by the Bishop of London
24 September 1769. He was instituted Vicar of South Newton, Wilts., 21 January
1774. He was presented by the College to the Vicarage of Aldworth, Berks.,
23 November and instituted 7 December 1782. He had a dispensation on
3 December 1782 to hold the two livings. South Newton being valued at £80 and
Aldworth at £180, their distance apart being stated to be not more than 30 miles.
He was instituted Rector of Wilton St Mary, Wilts., 7 April 1788, then ceding
South Newton. On 27 March 1788 he had a dispensation to hold Aldworth
(valued at £180) with Wilton (valued at £150), their distance apart not being
more than 28 miles. He was collated to the Prebend of Warminster in the
Cathedral of Salisbury 28 September and installed 15 October 1802, holding this with
Aldworth and Wilton until his death. He died 12 March 1832 at Wilton, aged 87.
On the north wall of the chancel of Aldworth Church is a marble tablet with this
inscription: — "In memoi-y of | the Eev. Henry Hetley B.D. | fifty years Vicar of
this Parish | Eector of Wilton Wilts and | Prebendary of Sarum | who died at
Wilton 12th March 1832 | in the 88th year of his age." Dr Samuel Parr, for the
short time he continued at Cambridge, was Mr Hetley's contemporary and friend,
and they occasionally corresponded through life. Three of Mr Hetley's letters, the
first written in 1767 and the last in 1824, are printed in Parr's Life and Works, viii,
185 — 189. At the former period Mr Hetley had been recently appointed to a
curacy at Staines. In the second, written in 1777, he mentions that the second
son of Lord Pelham was his pupil, and that at a recent ordination of the Bishop of
Ely (Keene) he had been Examiner. In his last letter written from Headington
Hill, Oxford, 16 June 1824, he gives a cheerful picture, both of his success in the
career of his profession, and of his happy temper of mind towards its close. He
states : — " The only Johniau left of my standing is John Carr [P. 165 no. 20], who
lives in Derbyshire, and of whom I occasionally hear"; he was " in possession of
nine hundred a year, temporal and spiritual ; and though not a great dignitary, I have
four prebends bestowed upon me (two belonging to Wilton Abbey) by Lord Pem-
broke, the Lord Lieutenant of the County, Bishop Douglas, and Dean Ekin ; and
to have been so distinguished is a great gratification to one in so private a walk in
life. About the end of May I veer towards my living, to see how things go on.
You remember it is in Berkshire, where you more than once threatened to disturb
me with the fumes of your pipe or pipes, and to have come to me from Oxford, but
alas, you never did me that favour. " Mr Hetley had two sons ; one living at Wilton,
the other not far from it (Gentleman's Magazine, 1832, ii, 87 — 88; Parr's Life and
Works, viii, 185-9; Hardy's Le Neve, ii, 681).
Henry Hetley was collated to the Prebend of Horsingham in the Collegiate
Church of Heytesbury, Wilts. (Gentleman'' s Magazine, 1801, p. 1219).
APPENDIX. 683
Richard Hetley, the father, of Alwalton, Hunts., was Sheriff of Cambridgeshire
and Huntingdonshire in 1800. He received knighthood, on presenting the address
of congratulation to King George HI. on his happy escape from assassination by
Hatfield. He died in 1807, aged 89 {ibid. 1807, p. 184).
P. 163 no. 2. Isaac Pennington took liis degree as a Wrangler in the Mathe-
matical Tripos of 1767. On 3 November 1766 the College passed the following
order: "Agreed to allow Pennington £15 a year for the care of the Observatory,
and for making Observations to be delivered to the Master and Seniors, till such
time as some other provision shall be made for the business." Pennington held
the office for about a year. He was admitted a Fellow of the College 22 March 1768.
On 18 October 1775 the College passed a resolution that Pennington was destinatua
studio medicinae, which seems to have been the recognised form of giving him the
right to hold one of the two Fellowships reserved for students of medicine, freeing
him from the obligation of taking Orders. He became a Senior Fellow 25 January
1783, and remained a Fellow until his death. He held the following College
offices : Steward, from 9 March 1774 until 24 March 1775, when he became Junior
Bursar ; this latter office he held until 23 March 1787 when he was elected
President of the College, holding with this also the office of Bakehouse Bursar
until 20 March 1802. He was admitted a Candidate of the Royal College of
Physicians 13 April 1778, a Fellow 29 March 1779, and was Harveian Orator
in 1783 (Munk, Roll of the Royal College of Physicians, ii, 320). He was ap-
pointed Physician to Addenbrooke's Hospital in 1773 {Cambridge Chronicle, 4 and
18 December 1773); this office he held until his death. In 1773 he was elected
Professor of Chemistry to the University. Cole (MSS. Cole, xxxiii, Brit. Mus.
Addl. MSS. 5834, p. 158) has the following, in his account of the Professors of
Chemistry : " Isaac Pennington, A.M., Fellow of St John's College, was elected on
Wednesday 15 December 1773 by a majority of 19 or 20 against Mr Hodson of
Trinity, supported by all the weight of Lord Sandwich's interest, who attended
himself, with Lords Montfort, Strange, Hyde, Bishops of Lincoln, Peterborough,
and CarUsle, and was as much contested an election, and brought as many people
together and from as great a distance, as had been known. Mr Pennington studies
Physic and is reckoned a very ingenious man in his profession. The Master of
St John's College constantly opposed the Trinitarians who counted to have it pass
as a popular election, whereas the Johuians were for electing, as had been usual
for this Professorship, by a Grace and Placets in the Senate." The exact voting
was — for Pennington 148, for William Hodson, Fellow of Trinity, 128. On
28 November 1773 a Grace passed the Senate that pro hac vice the election of
a Professor of Chemistry should be secundum morum in Electione Burgensium
receptuin. A Grace to the same effect had been rejected 11 June 1772, there were
then five candidates, though two only went to the poll (Cooper, Annals of
Cambridge, iv, 369). Pennington resigned the Chair of Chemistry in 1793 on
becoming Regius Professor of Physic, holding the latter until his death.
On 14 November 1795 the Senate of the University voted an address to King
George III. expressive of the warmest sentiments of loyalty and affection, and
of extreme concern and indignation at the late outrageous attempt against his
life. This address was presented at St James's on December 2, by the Vice-
Chancellor and the usual deputation from the University; on this occasion
Isaac Pennington received the honour of knighthood (Gunning, Reminiscences of
Cambridge, ii, 44). In the year 1794 Pennington got involved in a di.spute with
Busick Harwood, Professor of Anatomy, of this Gunning {I.e. i, 56) gives the
following account: "A quarrel took place one day at the hospital between
Harwood and Sir Isaac Pennington ; very high words ensued. As soon as
Harwood reached home he wrote a challenge to the knight J^ic, Pennington had
not then been knighted), and sent it by an undergraduate of Trinity, but Sir Isaac
declined opening the letter. The same undergraduate posted off immediately to
town, and the letter appeared in the London papers of the following morning,
with an account of the quarrel and the subsequent proceedings. The whole was
a silly affair and Harwood did not acquire by his conduct on this occasion a
character either for valour or discretion."
The following appears in The True Briton of 18 March 1794:
" The following letter having been sent to Dr Pennington, Professor of Physic,
by Dr Harwood, Professor of Anatomy, in consequence of some altercation which
happened at a public meeting yesterday, and the letter having been returned by
44—2
684 APPENDIX.
Dr Pennington unopened, Dr Harwood has no other means of making Dr
Pennington acquainted with his sentiments but through the medium of a public
print.
" To Dr Pennington, St John's.
Sir, March 17, 1794.
You must be so far acquainted with the rules of Civilized Society, as to
know that no Gentleman can receive the Lie, and be admitted into Company
afterwards, without sufficient apology. Now, as I do not intend to quit Society till
I am obliged to quit the World, I write this to give you an opportunity of explaining,
whether you meant to convey to me, and to the Audience, any idea of that kind of
insult which the words themselves (without proper explanation) must necessarily
imply.
I am. Sir,
B. Harwood."
While the following appears in The Cambridge Chronicle of 29 March, 1794 :
" To Dr Pennington, St John's College.
Emmanuel College, Cambridge,
Sir, March 21th, 1794.
That I may in no instance appear to imitate your example, by committing
an offence which I am too obstinate to retract and too weak to defend, I must
bespeak your indulgence for a deviation from justice, into which the nature of the
present subject has unavoidably led me: I mean the impossibility of addressing
you in terms at once appropriate to your conduct and becoming to my own
character. Suffer me however to remind you that more than a week has now
passed away in silence since the publication of my last letter, and give me leave to
inform you, that after an Imputation upon their Honour and Morality, men
susceptible of these sentiments but ill brook such an irksome delay. You must
excuse me then if for a moment I disturb the Solemnity of your repose, by telling
you that your substituting sullenness for dignity and obstinacy for firmness, is an
artifice which can impose only on yourself ; and your enemies will be but too apt
to recollect and apply as expressive of the present state of your mind a much
admired passage of a celebrated Historian, Non tuniultus, non quies, sed quale
magni metus, et magnae irae silentium est. Do not however apprehend that it
is my intention to require of you to come forward and to prove your charge,
or apologise for your accusations, for this would be a measure at once manly,
spirited, and open, and therefore such as (under the present circumstances) I will
not insult you by expecting ; but I mean merely to caution you against mistaking
impunity for success and to assure you that there are few even of your own
friends, who can reflect without strong marks of disgust upon conduct which so
grossly violates the best established laws of polished Society. I cannot however
conclude without adding this consoling circumstance (which to a mind like yours
must be productive of the greatest happiness and exaltation) that at the bar of
truth, to have been at once the criminal and the accuser, that to have been insolent
without power, and daring without spirit, will hereafter mark you out for contempt,
and screen you from resentment.
I am. Sir, &c.,
B. Harwood."
The altercation which gave rise to this and the former letter to Dr Pennington
(which appeared in some of the London papers) happened in consequence of
Dr Harwood's having had occasion to observe, that " he believed it to have
been pretty generally understood, that Dr P. had for some time past deputed
his practice at the hospital to another person, and Dr H. is both ready and able to
prove his assertion incontestably, when called upon."
Pennington seems to have taken no notice of these letters. It would appear
however on the one hand that Pennington, when Professor of Chemistry, did
perform his duties by means of a deputy, — J. Milner of Queens' (Wordsworth,
Scholae Academicae, 173, 190) ; while Harwood was a very curious person (Gunning,
I.e. i, 52 — 56). As Pennington's knighthood came shortly afterwards we may
assume that public opinion was on his side. Sir Isaac Pennington was interested
in the Volunteer movement of his day. In 1798 there was a general contribution
APPENDIX. 685
for the defence of the country. The College gave £525, Dr Craven, the Master, and
Sir Isaac Pennington each gave £100 (Cooper, Annals of Cambridge, iv, 461). In
September 1803 a Volunteer Corps of members of the University was formed.
Sir Isaac was one of the members of the Committee for St John's College, the
others being Lord Palmerston and Henry Martyn (Cooper, ibid. 479). Sir Isaac
also gave a great coat to each of the servants of St John's College (in number 13)
who were members of the Cambridge Volunteer Infantry {Cambridge Chronicle,
1 September 1804). Sir Isaac died at his house in Bridge Street (now No. 69),
Cambridge, 3 February 1817, aged lxii (ibid. 7 February 1817). The Gentleman's
Magazine for 1817, i, 187, in announcing his death states that "His professional
abilities were first-rate and his amiable disposition endeared him to a numerous
circle of friends iu the university, town, and neighbourhood. His loss will be
sincerely regretted by all who knew him ; it will also sensibly be felt by numbers
among the lower classes of the community who in illness or distress have received
the benefit of his advice, attention, and charity."
A tablet to his memory is placed in the ante-chapel with the following in-
scription: "H.S.E. I Isaacus Pennington | Eques Auratus, M.D. | Coll. Medicorum
Kegal. apud Londinum | Socius, | in Acad. Cantab, primo Chemiae | deinde Regis
Mandato Medicinae | Professor | hujus Collegii plus xlviii annos | Socius. | In

omabat | Moriens suis omnibus fere bonis auxit. | Decessit annorum lxxii. | hi Non.
Feb. MDCccxvn. | Magister et Socii | LL.M. ponendum curaverunt."
There is a portrait of Sir Isaac Pennington in the Master's Lodge, with pleasant
face, and wearing his own white hair. In the examples of costumes given in
Ackerman's History of the University of Cambridge, ii, 312, the Doctor of Physic
is said to be a portrait of Sir Isaac Pennington (Notes and Queries, 3 Ser. x,
45). The following epigram attributed to Bishop Mansel gives also a pleasing
picture of him:
For female ills when Pennington indites,
Not minding what, but only how he writes.
The ladies, while the graceful form they scan,
Cry with ill-omened rapture — Killing man !
By his will, dated 2 January, and a codicil, dated 31 January 1817, he appointed
Dr James Wood, Master, and the Rev. Laurence Palk Baker, and the Rev. Charles
Blick, Fellows of the College, his executors. After devising his house in St
Sepulchre's Parish to Dr James Wood, and bequeathing legacies to his executors,
servants, and others, the will proceeds as follows : " I give to the Master of
St John's College for the time being £200 a year, if he be Rector of Freshwater, but
not otherwise. This sum to be paid by the Master Fellows and Scholars of the
College out of the effects I shall leave them. And if it shall happen that the
Master is not Rector of Freshwater, then my will is that the said sum do
accumulate, as fast and as long as by the Law it may, by making fresh pur-
chases in the funds, always however upon the condition that the accumulations
do stop for the time and the Master receive not only the original £200 a year but also
the interest of all the accumulations whenever he is Rector of Freshwater. All the rest
and residue of my estate and effects whatsoever and wheresoever I give and bequeath
to the Master Fellows and Scholars of St John's College. I desire the College will
give good Exhibitions to the Students of the College born in Foreness Fell, that is
in one of the two parishes of Hawkshead and Colton, if they be orderly, studious
and willing to learn, of good appearance and good manners, who are capable of
making and do make a proper progress in Literature and not otherwise. And
I desire the College will be attentive to all these particulars and not give any
except to students qualified as above, and if any have been inadvertently given that
they be taken away again. The number value and duration of these Exhibitions
I leave entirely to the regulations of the Master and Seniors and to depend upon
the merits of the candidates. I desire the College will out of the effects I have
left them at all times take such judicial or other measures as may be necessary for
calling on the Masters of Sedbergh, Pocklington, Rivington and Hawkshead Schools
to do their duty in diligently teaching public Grammar Schools, and in keeping
their Schoolhouses and houses of residence in good repair According to the true
intent and meaning of the said foundations."
It should be explained that under a gift of Lord Keeper WilliamB, Archbishop of
686 APPENDIX.
York, the advowsons of the Kectories of Soulderne, co. Oxford, of Freshwater in the
Isle of Wight, and of the sinecure Rectories of St Florence, co. Denbigh, and
Aberdaron, co. Carnarvon, came to the College. Under the deed of gift the Master
of the College might "assume and retain to himself" one of these Rectories
"at every avoidance." This right had been exercised by William Beale and
Anthony Tuckney in respect of the sinecure Rectory of Aberdaron and by William
Samuel Powell in the case of Freshwater. Pennington's bequest is a very curious
example of a direct encouragement to holding in plurality. Dr James Wood took
the Rectory of Freshwater in 1823 and held it until his death, drawing Pennington's
annuity. When the College Statutes came to be revised in the years 1856—60
under the University of Cambridge Act (19 & 20 Vict. c. 88) the College took the
opinion of Sir Roundell Palmer (afterwards Lord Selborne) as to whether the
continued accumulation under Sir Isaac Pennington's will was not prohibited
by the Thellusson Act (39 & 40 Geo. III. c. 98). In his opinion the accumulation
directed by the will was void under the Act, and the accumulations already made
belonged to the College. The new Statutes made by the University Commissioners
provided that the Master should surrender his rights under Archbishop Williams'
gift and Sir Isaac Pennington's will, and a fixed monej' payment was made to him
in respect of these and other rights. The Pennington Fund was then merged in
the general revenues and his Exhibitions in the Foundation Scholarships then
established without restrictions as to birthplace. Sir Isaac's benefaction was
very considerable, the income at the time of his death being at least £650
per annum.
P. 163 no. 4. John Yale was admitted a Fellow of the College 7 April 1767
and his Fellowship was filled up again in April 1781. He was ordained Deacon
29 May 1768 and Priest 11 March 1770 by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was
appointed Chaplain of Horningsey, co. Cambridge, 15 March 1777, and held that
until 25 March 1779 when he was appointed Steward ; his successor in the office of
Steward was appointed 17 March 1780. He was presented by the College to the
Rectory of Lawford, Essex, 26 October and instituted 5 November 1779, holding
the living until his death 27 May 1800. "His only ambition was to die worth
£50,000. He was conveyed in a miserable country hearse, accompanied by his
sister and maid-servant to Wrexham, the place of his nativity " (Gentleman's
Magazine, 1800, i, 487). His brother, an apothecary and surgeon, in Catherine
Street, London, died 17 August 1787 (Cambridge Chronicle, 18 August 1787).
He was probably the John Yale who was instituted Rector of Stradishall,
Suffolk, 12 January 1775, holding the living until 1778. One John Yale was
instituted Rector of Llandegla, co. Denbigh, 5 July 1760, and held the living until
1789, but this was probably the Rev. John Yale of Jesus College, Oxford (Foster,
Alumni Oxonienses).
P. 163 no. 5. Richard Raikes was admitted a Fellow of the College 7 April 1767.
He was ordained Deacon 21 December 1771 and Priest 14 June 1772 by the Bishop
of London. He married Miss Ann Mee, daughter of Thomas Mee, of the City of
Gloucester (Cambridge Chronicle, 7 January 1775). He was presented to the
perpetual curacy of Maiseinore, Gloucestershire, by the Bishop of Gloucester,
5 October 1793. He was appointed Treasurer of St David's Cathedral with the
Prebend of Llandissilio-Gogoff annexed 24 October 1797 (Hardy's Le Neve, i, 318).
He was collated to the Prebend of Huntingdon in Hereford Cathedral 29 September
1809 (ibid, i, 511). He held all these appointments at his death on 5 September
1823 in his 80th year. He was a gentleman whose hospitality and munificence were
unbounded and whose loss will long and sincerely be felt (Gentleman's Magazine,
1823, ii, 643 b).
P. 163 no. 6. See the admission of the father P. 59 no. 14. Henry Marshall was
ordained Deacon 14 June 1767, and licensed to the curacy of Ashby Puerorum, he
was ordained Priest 21 May 1769, all by the Bishop of Lincoln. He was instituted
Rector of Salmonby, co. Lincoln, 14 December 1779, and held the living until his
death in 1812 (^Gentleman's Magazine, 1812, ii, 403 b).
P. 163 no. 7. Culpepper Tanner, the father, was a member of the College, see his
admission Part ii, P. 115 no. 12 and the note thereon. He married at St Martin's,
Stamford, 28 October 1709 Elizabeth Ryley. She was buried at St Martin's
23 December 1734 (Mr Justin Simpson).

P. 163 no. 8. See the admission of his father George Paddon P. 51 no. 3 from
which it appears that 'Challey' is Chawleigh.
George Paddon, the younger, was ordained Deacon 12 July 1767 and Priest
24 February 1771 by the Bishop of Norwich. He was instituted Bector of Pakefield,
Suffolk, 22 February 1780, on the presentation of Robert Nelson, gentleman
(Cambridge Chronicle, 4 March 1780). He was also Perpetual Curate of Stoven.
He died at Southwold 25 January 1802, aged 58, and is buried in the churchyard
there, where on a headstone, near the east end of the south aisle, is an inscription
recording the fact (Davy, Suffolk Collections, Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 19,082). His
widow Elizabeth died on Friday morning 22 December 1843 at her residence in
Regent Street, Cambridge, aged 84 {Cambridge Chronicle, 23 December 1843).
P. 163 no. 9. John Youde was admitted a Fellow of the College 18 March 1766.
He was ordained Deacon 21 December 1765 and Priest 21 December 1767 by the
Bishop of London. He was presented by the College to the Vicarage of Higham,
Kent, 22 November and instituted 28 November 1771. This he held until his death.
He was appointed by the Bishop of Bangor to be Headmaster of the Free Grammar
School of Beaumaris, Anglesea (Cambridge Chronicle, 19 December 1778). He died
probably in September 1796 (Cambridge Chronicle, 24 September 1796 ; Gentleman's
Magazine, 1796, ii, 795; European Magazine, xxx, 311).
His son Henry Youde matriculated at Oxford from Jesus College 3 December
1801 ; the Rev. John Youde is then described as of Llandegfan, co. Anglesea
(Foster, Alumni Oxonienses). His daughter, Miss Youde, died 12 January 1804 at
Maidenhead, Berks. (Gentleman's Magazine, 1804, p. 93).
Mr Youde published The Adventures of Telemachus in blank verse : from the
French of Fenelon, by J. Y(oude). 3 vols. 12mo. This seems to have been
published at Chester in 1791. Lowndes gives the date as 1793 and states that
a specimen appeared in 1775. The Briti^ Museum Catalogue gives the date as
"1793?"
Cole in his collections for an Athenae Cantabrigienses (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS.
5884) preserves the following advertisement from The Cambridge Chronicle for 1775 ;
" The two first books of the Adventures of Telemachus, attempted in English verse.
To ichich is prefixed an Essay on the Origin and Merits of Rhyme. By the
Rev. John Youde, A.M., late Fellow of St John's College. — As Proposals will
probably be made for publishing this work by subscription as soon as it is completed,
the first two Books are in the meantime offered to the Public as a specimen of the
manner in which it is intended to be executed." Cole adds "r. Critical Review for
1775, July, p. 82."
P. 164 no. 10. John Byron was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of London 14 June

On 31 May 1782 he was presented by the College to the Rectory of Marwood in
Devonshire, then vacant by the death of Richard Harding ; he was instituted
7 June. On 18 August 1804 the College presented Richard Riley to Marwood, then
vacant by the cession of Mr Weston. Samuel Ryder Weston was collated canon of
the ninth prebend in Canterbury Cathedral 15 April 1788, and this was filled up on
his cession in January 1799 (Hardy's Le Neve, i, 58). On his resignation the
Archbishop of Canterbury conferred on him the degree of D.D. 6 December 1798.
He then became Prebendary of Wildland in St Paul's, London, being instituted
6 December 1798 (Hardy's Le Neve, ii, 450) holding this until his death. He was
presented by the Bishop of Ely to the Rectory of Kelshall, Herts. (Cambridge
Chronicle, 11 February 1804), and instituted there on Monday 30 July 1805 (ibid.
4 August 1805). He was instituted Rector of Therfield near Royston, Herts.,
24 April 1812 (Foster, Index Ecclesiasticus). On 10 April 1812 he was licensed by
dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Kelshall (valued at £240)
with Therfield (valued at £550), the livings being stated to be contiguous. He held
both until his death. He died in December 1821, aged 74 (Cambridge Chronicle,
14 December 1821).
When he went to Marwood the College lent him £480, without interest, towards
rebuilding the Rectory House at Marwood, on a mortgage of the living. His name

then vacating Streatley. He was instituted Rector of Great Addington, North-
amptonshire, 15 November 1784. On 1 November 1784, when he is described as
chaplain to John Campbell, Earl of Breadalbane, he received a dispensation from
the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Raunds with Great Addington, the values
of these benefices being stated as £80 and £150 respectively, and their distance
apart not more than four miles. He held both with Tilsworth until his death
20 November 1799 (Gentleman's Magazine, 1799, ii, 1088). He married 29 November
1787 Miss Crofts, of Lewes (ibid. 1787, 1125 a).
P. 164 no. 14. Thomas Sedgewick Whalley, as the Register states, was son of
Dr John Whalley, originally of Pembroke Hall (B.A. 1719), afterwards Regius
Professor of Divinity and Master of Peterhouse. His mother was a daughter of the
Rev. Francis Squire (originally of Merton College, Oxford, admitted to St John's
6 April 1715, Part ii, P. 218 no. 22), Rector of Exford and Vicar of Cutcombe and
Luxborough, Somerset, and Canon and Chancellor of Wells Cathedral. Canon
Squire seems to have lived with his son-in-law at Peterhouse Lodge. Dr Whalley
died 12 December 1748, and Cole (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5880, p. 145) makes the
following statement: "He (i.e. Francis Squire) was at the Lodge of Peterhouse
with Dr Whalley, who had married his daughter. Mr Squire was violently afflicted
Nvith the stone and was many times given over, however he survived his son-in-law,
and went, with his daughter and her numerous offspring, in a horse-litter, after the
Doctor's death, to Wells, leaving, though very rich, vast debts unpaid behind him
among the tradespeople at Cambridge which Dr Whalley had contracted ; and who
must have laid up considerably every year for the last six years when he lived
very frugally and a large income. But Mr Chancellor Squire and Mr Dean of
Rochester, and his widow were very easy to make the poor tradespeople at Cam-
bridge who could not deny to trust him and were obliged to come into what was
offered them, come into a most shameful composition for so much in the pound,
when it was well known the whole might be paid."
Thomas Sedgewick Whalley was ordained Priest 15 March 1772 by the Bishop
of London. He was instituted Rector of Hagworthingham, co. Lincoln, 17 May
1772 on the presentation of the Bishop of Ely, and was collated to the Prebend
of Combe in Wells Cathedral 22 August 1777. He held the Rectory until his
death, but resigned his Prebend in 1826 (Hardy's Le Neve, i, 210j. Dr Keene,
Bishop of Ely, in presenting Whalley to Hagworthingham stipulated that he should
not reside there, as the air of the Fens was fatal to any but a native. This
Whalley complied with, and during his incumbency of more than half a century
APPENDIX. 689
the duty was taken by curates. During the last two or three years of his life
however he built a new parsonage-house for the parish. He married in January
1774 Elizabeth, widow of John Sherwood, and only child of John Jones, esq., of
Langford. By this marriage he became possessed of Langford Court near Wrington
in Somersetshire with a considerable fortune. Shortly after his marriage he pur-
chased the centre house in the Crescent at Bath. His residence at Bath brought
him the acquaintance of Mrs Siddons, the actress, and of Mrs Thrale-Piozzi.
With his wife he travelled much on the Continent. At Paris he saw Queen Marie
Antoinette, who is said to have described Mr Whalley as Le bel Anglais. Returning
to England in the summer of 1787 he built a cottage in the Mendip range, in
which he resided during the summer, moving to Bath for the winter. During this
period he formed a friendship with Miss Hannah More. When controversies arose
over the schools started in the parish of Blagdon by the Misses More, Whalley
supported them in a pamphlet issued anonymously, entitled Animadversions on the
Curate of Blagdon's Thri'e Publications. Mrs Whalley died 8 December 1801. He
married a second time in 1803 a Miss Heathcote, of a Wiltshire family, but she
died 10 October 1805. He married for a third time 3 October 1812 Mrs Horneck,
widow of General Horneck {Gentleman's Magazine, 1812, ii, 390). The marriage
was an unhappy one and Mr Whalley separated from his wife, he then resumed
European travel, leaving Paris suddenly on the arrival of the news of Napoleon's
escape from Elba. He was at Louvain on the day of Waterloo. After a short
further stay on the Continent he returned to England, where he resided until 1828,
when he went to La Fl^che to see a niece. The journey proved too much for his
strength and he died at La FlSohe 3 September 1828, and was buried there with
the following inscription to his memory: "M.S. | Thomae Sedgewick Whalley
S.T.D. I ex comitatu Somersettiae in Anglia | ecclesiae cathedralis Wellensi pre-
bendarii; | cujus civile studium, comitatus idem, cui magistratus praeerat, |

Dr Whalley (who was a D.D. of Edinburgh) published the following : (i) Edwy
and Edilda, a tale, published anonymously in 1778, a second edition, with plates,
was issued in 1794 ; (ii) The Fatal Kiss. A poem written in the last stage of an
atrophy by a beautiful young lady, 1781, 4to. ; (iii) Verses addressed to Mrs Siddons,
1782, 4to. ; (iv) Mont Blanc, a poem, 1784, 4to. ; (v) The Castle of Montval, a
tragedy, 1788, 8vo., second edition 1799; (vi) Poems and Translations, Bvo.;
(vii) Kennet and Fenelia, an allegorical tale, 1809, 8vo. The Castle of Montva,l
was brought out at Drury Lane Theatre in 1799, Mrs Siddons and the two Kembles
taking parts, the piece was a failure, and after a run of nine nights was withdrawn.
Whalley carried on a voluminous correspondence with Mrs Siddons, Miss Anna
Seward and others. These letters and his diaries of Continental travel, with some
fugitive pieces of poetry were published with the title Journals and Correspondence
of Thomas Sedgewick Whalley, D.D., of Mendip Lodge, Somerset, 2 vols. 8vo.,
edited by the Rev. Hill Wickham in 1863. To this a portrait is prefixed.
Mrs Piozzi in a letter to Madame d'Arblay dated 18 January 1821 writes : " Your
constant admirer Dr Whalley keeps his tall figure and high head above the water;
spite of many efforts to hold him down " (Barrett, Diary and Letters of Madame
d'Arblay, iv, 457). William Wilberforce describes Whalley in 1813 as "the true
picture of a sensible, well-informed, and educated, polished, old, well-beneficed,
nobleman's and gentlemen's house-frequenting, literary, and chess-playing divine
— of the best sort (not adulatory) — I hope beginning to be serious."
P. 164 no. 16. George Richards migrated to Trinity College where the Admission
Register has the following entry : " 24 October 1763, Admissus est pensionarius (e
Coll. Div. Johannis) Georgius filius Georgii Richards, de Peckham in comitatu
Cantiae, e schola de Tunbridge in eodem Comitatu sub praesidio Magistri Towers,
annos natus 18. Mag. Backhouse, Tutore." He took the degree of B.A. from
Trinity College in 1767. George Richards, the father, was instituted Vicar of
West Peckham 21 July 1749, and held the living until 1783.
P. 164 no. 16. William, son of William Pearce, surgeon, and Dorothy his wife.

was baptized at St Keverne, 3 December 1744. He was third wrangler and second
Chancellor's medallist in 1767. He was ordained Deacon 14 June 1767 by the
Bishop of Lincoln, with letters dimissory from the Bishop of Norwich, and Priest
14 June 1772 by the Bishop of Peterborough, in the chapel of Trinity College,
Cambridge. He was admitted a Fellow of the College 22 March 1768, his fellow-
ship was filled up again 11 March 1788. He was Sacrist of the College from 27
February 1773 to 9 March 1774. Junior Dean 17 December 1773 to 17 March
1780. He was elected a Senior Fellow, and President of the College, 20 March
1781, holding this office until 1787. He was also for many years one of the Tutors
of the College. He was presented by the College 6 July 1786 to the Rectory of
Houghton Conquest, Beds., and instituted 13 November 1786. He was appointed
Whitehall Preacher (Cambridge Chronicle, 6 June 1772). Cole in his collections
for an Athcnac Cantabrigienses (Brit. Mus. Addl. MSS. 5878) has the following:
'* On Wednesday 18 November 1778, the Rev. Mr Pearce was unanimously elected
Orator, Mr Prettyman [probably George Pretyman, of Pembroke Hall, afterwards
Bishop of Lincoln and Winchester] was nominated with him. Mr Cooke, son of
the Provost, a man every way qualified for the office by person and address and
scholarship, had made all possible interest to be chosen ; perhaps the universal
detestation of the father might hurt the son. Mr Pearce has every qualification
but person and manner. Barford the late Orator was an excellent scholar, but
his manner mixed all." Barford was Public Orator from 1762 to 1768. Pearce's
immediate predecessor was Richard Beadon (P. 142 no. 16). Pearce held the
office of Public Orator of the University until 1788. In 1787 he was appointed
Master of the Temple [Cambridge Chronicle, 2 June 1787). In 1789 he was
appointed Master of Jesus College, Cambridge. He was installed Dean of Ely
2 December 1797, then resigning the Mastership of the Temple. He was instituted
Rector of Wentworth, in the Isle of Ely, on the presentation of the Dean and
Chapter of Ely 20 February 1799. On 10 February 1799 he had a dispensation
from the Archbishop of Canterbury to bold Houghton Conquest (valued at £360)
with Wentworth (valued at £200), the two benefices being stated to be not more
than 30 miles apart. He was Vice- Chancellor of the University in the years
1789 and 1806. He held the two rectories, the Deanery of Ely and the Headship
of Jesus until his death 14 November 1820, at Jesus College Jjodge, aged 76
(Gentleman^s Magazine, 1820, ii, 467). He was buried in the College Chapel
22 November (Cambridge Chronicle, 1 December 1820). One William Pearce was
instituted Rector of Miningsby, co. Lincoln, 12 July 1774. John Williams, who
succeeded him, was instituted 25 November 1786, i. e. a fortnight after Dean
Pearce's institution to Houghton Conquest, so the two are probably identical.
Dr Pearce married 21 April 1795, Anne, eldest daughter of the Rev^ Walter
Serocold, of Cherry Hinton. She died at her house in Bene't Street, Cambridge,
29 May 1835, aged 82 (Cambridge Chronicle, 25 April 1795; 5 June 1835). They
had a son, Edward Serocold Pearce, of St John's, B.A. 1818, and M.A. of Jesus
1821. He afterwards took the name of Pearce Serocold (Burke, Landed Gentry).
In the transept of the chapel of Jesus College is a white marble tablet with the
following inscription: " Gulielmus Pearce S.T.P. | Decanus Eliensis | et hujusce

P. 164 no. 17. John Wise was elected a Fellow of the College 21 March
1768, the College Register containing this note after his name: "electus dam
variolis laborabat, antequam juratus et admissus fuerit, mortuus est." He died
5 April 1768 (Cambridge Chronicle, 9 April 1768). In the old churchyard of All
Saints, Cambridge, is a flat stone (now 1899 much broken and decayed) with this
inscription: "H.S.E. | Joannes Wise A. B. | Coll. D. Joannis Socius | judicii subtilis

ing entry: " 1768, April 7, The Eev. John Wise, B.A., late of St John's College"

P. 164 no. 18. The father of Daniel Francis Durand was the Rev, Francis
WQliam Isaiah Durand de Fontcouverte, descended from a noble family of
Languedoc. He dropped the name Isaiah and the territorial title. The Rev. F.
W. Durand was first pastor of the Dutch church at Norwich, where his son was
born in 1745. In 1751 F. W. Durand was ordained Deacon and Priest in one
day by the Bishop of Winchester, and four days afterwards inducted into the
livings of St Michael and St Sampson, Guernsey. About two years afterwards
he was appointed Minister of the French church at Canterbury, and held these
livings until his death in 1789.
Daniel Francis Durand on his ordination was appointed his father's curate
in the parishes of St Michael and St Sampson. At this time he purchased a
chaplaiucy in the 96th Regiment, but went on half-pay when the regiment quitted
the Island, continuing to draw his half-pay until his death. After six years as
curate he crossed to England and became tutor to a young nobleman with whom
he travelled on the Continent. During this tour he visited his relatives in Lan-
guedoc, and is said to have been told that if he would become a naturalised
Frenchman and join the Romish Church his title (Baron de Fontcouverte) and
family estates would be restored to him. During his absence on this tour the
living of St Andrew's, Guernsey, became vacant, he was thought so highly of
that the patron, Lord Amherst, kept it for him for 18 months. He was instituted
Rector 12 August 1779 (Cambridge Chronicle, 21 August 1779). He vacated this
on his institution 28 April 1794 to the Rectory of St Peter Port, and became Dean
of Guernsey with its dependencies in 1795 (Cambridge Chronicle, 11 July 1795).
He married Anne, daughter of Richard de Jersey, esq., of the Manor of St Helfine,
in Guernsey. He was Principal of Elizabeth College, Guernsey, from 1780 to 1794,
when he resigned the office, becoming with the Governor one of the Visitors. In
the church of St Peter's is a monument with this inscription: "In memory of the
very revd. Daniel Francis Durand A.M. | (son of the Rev. F. Durand of Canterbury) |
Dean and Surrogate of Guernsey and its dependencies | And for 37 years the beloved[
and revered rector of this parish | labouring with zeal and de\iptedness in the
performance of its arduous duties | He died on the 30th of January 1832 in the
87th year of his age | The memory of the Just is blessed | Also of Anne de. Jersey

the King's School Canterbury, 80; Letters from the Rev. G. E. Lee, Rector of
St Peter Port, and Colonel C. J. Durand (his grandson) of Grange Villa, Guernsey).
His son, Haviland Durand, was of Pembroke College, Oxford, and his grandson
Haviland (second son of Haviland) of Exeter College, Oxford (Foster, Alumni
Oxonienses). His daughter Sophia, widow of the Rev. Alfred Sabonadi^re, died
30 December 1874 in Guernsey, in her 81st year (Times).
P. 166 no. 19. The father of this youth may have been Samuel Sneade, of
Magdalene College, B.A. 1734, M.A. 1738, who was ordained Deacon 12 October
1735, and licensed to the curacy of Shelve, Salop, and Priest 17 October 1736,

all by the Bishop of Hereford. He was Rector of Snead, co. Montgomery, 1747-
1771, and Vicar of St Alkmund's in Shrewsbury, 1763-1774. Samuel Sneade, of
St John's, took the LL.B. degree in 1769. He was ordained Deacon 29 May 1768
and Priest 11 June 1772 by the Bishop of Hereford. He was instituted Kector of
Bedstone, Salop, 11 June 1772, and held the living until 1809.
P. 165 no. 20. John Carr, son of Anthony Carr, Vicar of Selston, Notts.,
was admitted to Manchester School 26 June 1759. He took his degree as fifth
wrangler in 1767, and was admitted a Fellow of the College 22 March 1768. He
was ordained Deacon 20 December 1767 by the Bishop of Chester in St Margaret's
Church, Westminster, and Priest by the Bishop of Peterborough 9 June 1770, in
the chapel of Trinity College. He was appointed chaplain of Horningsey, Cam-
bridgeshire (a cure served by a Fellow of the College) 25 March 1773, but was
succeeded by Edward Frewen 9 March 1774. He was long one of the principal
Tutors of the College. He was presented by the College to the Rectory of Great
Oakley, Essex, 8 May and instituted 13 June 1783. He held this for nearly half a
century, being all the time non-resident, on the ground of holding a small chapelry,
Holbrook, near Derby. He married Miss Anna Stubbs, of Ranton Abbey, Stafford-
shire (Cambridge Chronicle, 8 October 1785). He died at Holbrook 12 May 1833
within a few days of attaining the age of 88, and was buried at Alfreton, Derbyshire.
In 1789 on the death of Dr Chevallier, John Carr was nearly elected Master of the
College. When the vacancy occurred the two great tutors of the College were
Carr and Pearce, the latter having been for ten years Public Orator (P. 164 no. 16).
Politics ran high; the former was leader of the Whigs, the latter of the Tories.
Between the two parties the College was equally divided; and the election at last
came to the seniority of eight. Here again Carr and Pearce each got four votes.
In the end William Craven was elected.
In one of his letters to Dr C. Burney, Dr Parr asks: "Pray do you know a
Mr Carr, who is represented to me as a most profound Greek scholar and belongs
to the e'ufieXiav what d'ye call it?" (Parr's Works, vii, 415; Register of Manchester
School, i, 85-7).
P. 165 no. 21. Jonathan Peake, the father, was also of St John's College (B.A.
1733, see P. 62 no. 16). James Peake was appointed 24 July 1766 by the Bishop
of Chester (on a lapse). Master of the Free Grammar School at Hawkshead, Lan-
cashire. He held the office until 1781. He was ordained Deacon 12 July 1767
and Priest 25 September 1768 by the Bishop of Chester. He was chosen Minister
of the donative of Finsthwaite, Lancashire (Cambridge Chronicle, 5 September
1778). He was probably the James Peake who was instituted Vicar of Thornton
Steward, Yorks., 30 December 1779, but this was held a very short time, as the
next incumbent was instituted 23 February 1780. He was presented by the Duke
of Devonshire to the Rectory of Kingsley, Staffordshire (Cambridge Chronicle,
22 May 1790), being instituted 12 May 1790, holding this until his death. He was
also domestic chaplain to the Duke of Devonshire, and Minister of Edensor and
Cartmell in Lancashire ; he resided at Edensor and died there 1 December 1803,
in his 59th year. A Latin inscription on his memorial stone at Edensor ends
with these words :
" Et tanta erat oris atque orationis
Commendatio, ut se quisque monitis
Libenter attentum praeberet
' Multis ille flebilis occidet.' "
(Croston's edition of Baines' History of Lancashire, v, 622; Admission Register of
Manchester School, i, 87, 232 ; Transactions of the Historical Society of Lancashire
and Cheshire, xvii, 179). He married Elizabeth Russel, widow, daughter of Thomas
Sunderland, of Bigland, co. Lancaster (Hnnter, Familiae Minorum Gentium, Harleian
Soc. Publ. xxxvii, 342, where there is a pedigree).
P. 166 no. 22. Benjamin Barnes was ordained Deacon 15 March 1767 by the
Bishop of Lincoln, with letters dimissory from the Bishop of Loudon. He died at
Wisbech, in the Isle of Ely, of a violent fever (Cambridge Chronicle, 4 February
1769).
P. 166 no. 23. Richard Glover was ordained Deacon 15 March 1767, and
licensed to the curacy of Whaplode Drove, co. Lincoln, with a salary of £40, he
was ordained Priest 20 September 1767, all by the Bishop of Lincoln. He has
been identified with the Richard Glover who was curate of St John the Evangelist,
APPENDIX. 693
Westminster, 1802-5, and with the Richard Glover who was instituted Vicar of
Dagenham, Essex, 13 June 1811, holding that living until 1816. A Kev. Richard
Glover died at Ilford in June 1824 (Smith, Parochial Memorials of St John the
Evangelist, Westminster, 113 ; Gentleman's Magazine, 1824, i, 573 a).
A Richard Glover was instituted Rector of Salcott Virley, Essex, 24 June 1778,
and Rector of Melbury Bubb, Dorset, 16 January 1792. Both livings were vacant
in 1796.

Cambridge, late curate of this parish, who died 31 January 1783, aged 37 years.
Tho' dead he yet speaketh and still present in remembrance. Forcibly, though
silently, he nourished his own beloved flock. To be cut off in the midst of a
valuable and useful life is one of the mysteries of divine providence which will •
be cleared up at the resurrection of the just " (Hoare, History of Modern Wiltshire,
iii (2), 17).
The Parish Register of Kilham has the following entries : " (i) 11 December
1744 Married by banns : George Youngson and Ann Wilson, both of Kilham.
(ii) 10 October 1745, Baptized : Dacres (sic), son of George Youngson, butcher."

of Kilham, Yorks., J'eoman freeholder, and sister of the Rev. Henry Wilson,
Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge (B.A. 1742), and Vicar of Heversham.
Henry Wilson, the elder, was the son of a previous Henry Wilson by his wife —

Warminster Church " (Notes from W. Ashetou Tong, esq., Staneclyffe, Disley).
P. 167 no. 11. William Wood was ordained Deacon 24 December 1769 by the

\
APPENDIX. 695
of £20 ; he was ordained Priest 21 December 1771 by the Bishop of London (with
letters dimissory from the Archbishop of York), and on December 23 was licensed
by the Archbishop of York to the curacy of Averton, with Kilham, Yorks. In
April 1775 he was a candidate for a Fellowship, on Dr Keton's foundation, for
which a preference was given to choristers of Southwell. To this Fellowship the
Master and Seniors elected Chambre William Abson (B.A. 1774), and be was
admitted 4 April 1775. Against this decision William Wood appealed to the
Bishop of Ely as Visitor. In the papers connected with this appeal it is stated
that in April 1775, and for two years before, Wood had been in possession of
the Vicarage of North Leverton, with cure of souls, which he had resigned, or
purported to resign, in order to qualify as a candidate for the Fellowship ; he is
also described as "occupying a farm," perhaps working the glebe of his benefice.
It was stated on Mr Wood's behalf that he (Wood) had been admitted a Chorister
of Southwell in 1756, at the age of ten, had regularly performed the duties for
six years, and after quitting the Choir had remained in Southwell School till he
came to College. Chambre William Abson was a son of the Rev. Samuel Abson
(P. 81) no. 20), and was born at Kirtliugton, Notts. He entered Southwell School
at the age of 7, and on 21 April 1768, when he was 16 years old, was admitted
a chorister of Southwell, and did duty for quarter of a year only. William
Wood maintained that this admission was allowed only for the purpose of
qualifying Abson for the Keton Fellowship. This view was taken by the Bishop
of Ely, who ejected Abson, and ordered the College to admit Wood, and he was
accordingly admitted Fellow on 24 October 1775. He does not seem to have
resided much in College, but he was appointed Junior Bursar 17 March 1789,
holding this office until he was appointed Senior Bursar of the College 26 March
1795, in succession to his brother, Dr James Wood (P. 174 no. 8) ; he only held
this latter office for two years, James Fawcett being appointed 22 March 1797.
He was turned out of the office for certain irregularities in his management of
the College moneys. The matter was the subject of lengthy legal proceedings,
both before the Visitor and in the Courts of Law. Wood printed a lengthy
statement of his defence in 1801, copies of which occasionally occur in catalogues
of secondhand books, and a series of articles headed Vindiciae Fraternae, appeared
in the Cambridge Chronicle weekly from 26 January till 18 May 1805 (some
of these are signed J[ames] F[isher]). While these legal proceedings were in
progress his Ffellowship was suspended, and he was refused the presentation to
several livings, such as Lilley, Herts., and Great Snoring, Norfolk. In November
1805, Dr Whitmore, Rector of Lawford, Essex, died. William Wood at that time
was secreted in the Isle of Man to avoid arrest by his creditors. Had he taken
the living at once it would have been sequestered for payment of his debts.
He requested delay for the purpose of making an arrangement with his creditors,
and this, with several extensions, was granted by the College. A settlement being
arrived at, he accepted Lawford, to which he was presented by the College, 2 May
1806, and instituted 16 May. According to the College Statutes he had a ' year
of Grace,' i.e. remained a Fellow for one year from institution. During tlxis year
the sinecure Rectory of Aberdaron, co. Carnarvon, became vacant by the death
of John Mainwaring, on 15 April 1807. Wood claimed, as a^ Fellow, the right
to be presented to Aberdaron. Tlie College presented Herbert'Marsh (afterwards
Bishop of Peterborough), and Wood appealed against this to the Visitor. The
presentation of Marsh was, however, upheld by the Bishop. Wood appealed to
the Court of King's Bench for a mandamus to compel the Bishop of Ely to re-hear
his appeal, but the Court refused the application (Cooper, Annals of Cambridge,
iv, 489). Wood then disappears from College life. He held Lawford until his
death, 26 December 1821, at his sister's residence. Assembly Row, Mile End Road,
aged 74 (The Courier, 28 December 1821). There is a tablet to his memory in
the south side of the chancel of Lawford Church, with the following inscription :
♦' In a vault beneath this tablet | lie the mortal remains | of the late Revd. William
Wood, B.D. i Rector of this parish 16 years | who departed this life on the
26th December 1821 | in the 74th year of his age. | In all his relative duties he

abroad by orders dated 1 June 1782 and 20 June 1783. On his return he was
appointed, in 1783, chaplain to Archbishop Moor, to whom he also acted as
examining chaplain. He preached at the consecration of the American Bishops
(Cambridge Chronicle, 27 December 1783 ; Bishop White's Memoirs, 158). On
22 February 1786 he was elected by the College, Rector of Little Hormead, Herts.
On 28 March 1786 he was collated by Archbishop Moor, Rector of Hadleigh,
Suffolk, and on the 1st of April loUowing was appointed by the same Prelate
Dean of Bocking, and in November 1787 one of the Principal Registrars of the
Court of Canterbury. Archbishop Moor, on 15 July 1790, nominated him Vicar
of Rochdale, but he remained at Hadleigh for a short time. (Miss Eliza Ferrand,
writing to her brother at Howden, 22 February 1791, says : " Our new Vicar,
Dr Drake, and his family arrived at Brown Hill last week," Lancashire Manuscripts,
ix, 384). During his Vicariate at Rochdale the church was renovated, and
additional church accommodation provided in the parish. He married, 25 August
1788, at Bromsberrow, Gloucestershire, Eleanora, second daughter of Robert
Dobyns Yate, by whom he had two sons (who predeceased him) and three daughters,
all of whom married. He died at Rochdale 12 September 1819 {Christian
Remembrancer, i, 718a; Annual Biography, 1820, 460 a), at the age of 75. He
was buried in the churchyard at Rochdale in a grave selected by himself a few
weeks before his death, over which is a large and costly tomb erected to his
memory, at the cost of his parishioners, with the following inscription on the

24 miles apart. On 17 September 1795 he received a dispensation to hold Stanton,
valued at £200, with Swarkeston, valued at £150, the two livings being stated to be
one mile apart. On both occasions he is described as chaplain to John, Duke of
Athole. He seems to have held Alstonfield until 1801, and the other two livings until
his death. He died at the Rectory, Stanton by Bridge, 12 January 1828, aged 81. He
was presented to his Derbyshire livings by the Crewe family {Gentleman's Magazine,

Vicarage of Wixoe (or Whixoe), Suffolk, by William Berkeley, esq. {Cambridge
Chronicle, 16 June 1787), and was instituted there 7 June 1787; he held this living but
a short time as a new incumbent was instituted there in October 1787. The
Cambridge Chronicle, in its issue of 1 September 1792, states that he had been
appointed a Prebendary of Winchester Cathedral, but his name does not appear in
Hardy's edition of Le Neve's Fasti. It is probable that he had some fresh
preferment at that time as he was again instituted Rector of Itchen-Abbas (he
was, in fact, five times instituted to that benefice, viz. on 29 March 1774, 17 December
1776, 18 July 1785, 13 October 1787, and 8 February 1793). On 9 July 1785, when
he is described as chaplain to James, Earl of Glencairn, he received a dispensation
from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Leominster (valued at £80) with Itchen-
Abbas (valued at £150), the livings being stated to be not more than 28 miles
apart; and on 3 December 1787 he received a dispensation to hold Itchen-Abbas
with Leominster. Presumably his institution to Wixoe had vacated Itchen-Abbas,
but repenting of the change he ceded Wixoe and was again instituted to Itchen,
receiving a fresh dispensation to hold it with Leominster. He was Vicar of
Rudgwick and of Leominster at the time of his death. He was buried at Rudgwick
19 April 1813.

died at Wimborne 20 December 1826, aged 82. He was then the senior minister of
the Collegiate Church there, in which he had officiated above 50 years. His
cheerful, humane, and benevolent disposition obtained for him the kind affection of
his acquaintance and the priayers and blessings of the poor (Gentleman's Macjazine,
1826, ii, 645 h). He married Hannah Palmer. She died at Wimborne 16 May 1818,
aged 72 (ibid. 1818, ii, 88 a ; Hutchins, History of Dorset, iii, 172, where there is a
pedigree ; he is there described as B.A., though his name does not appear in the

Salop, 16 July 1776, and held this until 1787, when he was presented by the

instituted 16 August 1787. He died at Medbourne 24 August 1824, aged 80
(Thomas, Histoi~y of the Diocese of St AsapJt, 641; Gentleman's Magazine, 1824,
p. 475). According to Bivington's Clerical Guide or Ecclesiastical Directory for
1822, he held the following preferments : Medbourne cum Holt, K., Mowseley, C,
Nether Avon, V., Caerwys, R., Kegidock, E., Kelligarn, R., Llangoven, C, Llantillio

Peny y Claud, C, Rouslench, R., Trallong, C, Trawsfyndd, R., Llanadhaiarn,

of Trinity College, 81 ; for Kipling, 74 (Cooper, Annals of Cambridge, iv, 378).
He was appointed by the Bishop of London to be one of his Majesty's Chaplains at
Whitehall (Cambridge Chronicle, 7 February 1778). He was elected into the Lady
Margaret Treachership (ibid. 13 April 1782). On 22 August 1788 he was an
unsuccessful candidate for the Lady Margaret Professorship of Divinity, John
Mainwaring (of St John's) receiving 33 and Kipling 20 votes (Cooper, I.e. 431).
He was for many years deputy to Dr Richard Watson, Regius Professor of Divinity,
resigning this office in 1802, owing to ill-health (Cambridge Chronicle, 11 Sej^tember
1802). He was instituted Rector of Owmby, co. Lincoln, 30 July 1778. He was
presented by the College to the Vicarage of Holme on Spalding Moor, Yorks.,
17 November, and instituted 7 December 1784. On 30 November 1784 he received
a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold Owmby (valued at £110)
with Holme (valued at £200), the benefices being stated to be not more than
26 miles apart. He was nominated by the King to the Mastership of the Temple
(Cambridge Chronicle, 9 December 1797). He was installed Dean of Peterborough
10 February 1798 (Hardy's Le Neve, ii, 541). He was instituted Rector of
Fiskerton, co. Lincoln, 23 November 1798, then ceding Owmby. On 15 September
1798 he received a dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury to hold the
Vicarage of Holme (then valued at £490) with Fiskerton (valued at £240), the

benefices being stated to be not more than 28 miles apart. He held both livings
with his Deanery until his death at Holme 28 January 1822. Dr Kipling pubUshed :

Theodori Bezae Caiitabrigietisis, Evangelia et Apostolorum Acta complectens, quadratis
Uteris Graeco-Latinus, 1793, 2 vols, folio; (iii) The Articles of the Church of England
proved not to be Calvinistic, 1802, 8vo. ; this pamphlet having been remarked on
by a writer signing InmseU Academicus, a reply appeared by a friend of Dr Kipling's,

a treatise entitled, ' The Articles of the Church of England proved not to be
Calvinistic' He preached the Boyle Lectures in 1792, but never published the
course (Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, vi, 456).
In the year 1793 Dr Kipling became very prominent in the University in
connexion with the proceedings against William Frend of Jesus College. Frend
had published at St Ives a tract entitled, Peace and Union recommended to the
associated bodies of Republicans and Anti-republicans. He openly professed
unitarian or Sociniau views. He was deprived of his fellowship and tutorship
at Jesus College, and his tract was stated "to have been written with the evil intent
of prejudicing the clergy in the eyes of the laity, of degrading in the public esteem
the doctrines and rites of the Established Church, and of disturbing the harmony
of society." Frend also held Jacobinical views. Steps were taken to prosecute
the author in the Vice- Chancellor's Court, and in these proceedings Dr Kipling, as
deputy Regius Professor, acted as promoter or prosecutor. In this capacity he
seems to have displayed more zeal than discretion, and rendered himself very
obnoxious to the innovating party in the University. A full account of these
proceedings will be found in vol. i, chap, ix of Gunning's Reminisceiu:es. The oppor-
tunity of making things disagreeable to Sapling came when his edition of the
Codex Bezae appeared. He was guilty of several mistakes in his introductory
preface and there were many misprints in his text. His work was sharply criticised
by Porson in the British Critic, iii. He was also fiercely and coarsely attacked by
Thomas Edwards (of Clare Hall, LL.B. 1782, LL.D. 1787, and Fellow of Jesus
College ; sometime Vicar of Histon ; who died at Huntingdon 30 March 1820),
who published Remarks on Dr Kipling's Preface to Beza, Part i, 1793 ; Part ii,
1797. In this he disclaims any personal animosity to Dr Kipling, but displays
extraordinary bitterness. Kipling is constantly referred to as ' our Promoter. '
His slips in Latin are pointed out and his learning held up to ridicule. Edwards
seems to have been the author of the expression 'a Kiplingism,' which afterwards
passed into the slang of the University as the equivalent of an error in latinity.
Thus: "Cur, exempli gratia, Oxoniensi illo, qui Laudi olim fuit, vetustior est
habendus, equidem non video. A Kiplingism. Cicero would probably have chosen
sit. — I must refer our Promoter, which I shall have occasion to more than once, to
Walker's Particles, p. 412, or to Turselinus de Particulis, cap. 40, p. 25, where he
will find instances of the proper regimen of this particle in similar cases" (Edwards,
Notes, etc., p. 4). "...The Doctor. ..does not aspire to the distinction of Chief
Blunderer, which Bentley has bestowed upon Collins; he is modestly contented
with the title of Deputy Blunderer: but the University are so unanimously of
opinion, those only excepted who are utterly lost to all sense of merit, that
he has an indisputable claim to the former appellation, that they will probably
thrust him, whether he will or no, into that enviable situation. For this purpose
the following grace will in the ensuing term be proposed to the Senate : Cum vir
Reverendus Thomas Kipling in doctissimis suis pagiuibus rara specimina linguae
antehac inauditae ediderit, usitatisque artis logicae proculcatis regulis, uovam
ratiocinandi methodum in usum tyronum induxerit, cumque divinum illud iu-
genium tales errores procuderit, quales ullo alii in mentem ne per somnium
quidem unquam venire potuissent, tamque varios, ut de iis disserere omitto;
placeat vobis ut pro tantis meritis Apx'tXoj^toi; titulo cohonestetur " (ibid. pp. 8, 9).
Edwards concludes {ibid. p. 72): "We shall I hope. ..be no more told, that the
dignity of the University demanded the banishment of Mr Frend, unless the same
persons will confess, that the literary character of our seminary more forcibly
demands that a public vote of censure should be passed on Dr Kipling for the want
of ability, integrity, and accuracy, which he displayed in his preface to Beza."
The pamphlet, whatever one may think of its taste, is an amusing example of the
bludgeon-like method of criticism, inspired by political and theological rancour.

APPENDIX.
That Kipling's work was not so utterly bad as Edwards would have it appear may
be gathered from the following remarks by F. H. Scrivener (Bezae Coch-x Canta-
brigiensis, 1864, Introduction, xii-xiii) : " I have found the text of my predecessor
less inaccurate than some have suspected, the typographical errors number 83,
of which 16 are in his notes. . . . Yet Kipling has laboured faithfully and not wholly
in vain to approach correctness as near as may be. His most serious fault is one
of design and plan, in that he has placed in the body of his work those numerous
changes made by later hands (some of them of very recent date) which deform the
pages of Codex Bezae itself, but which its editor should have been glad to banish
into the Notes : nor has he availed himself of the researches of those who went
before him. Respecting his Preface it is enough to say that even seventy years ago
it was obviously behind its age, both in respect to its general tone and spirit, and to
the then existing standard of critical knowledge."
Edwards (Part i, p. vii) indulges in the sneer : " I will however take the trouble
of reminding our Promoter, that though our auditory nerves for the space of six
long years have been grated by his harsh and dissonant notes in defence of
Orthodoxy, yet that his zealous exertions have not hitherto been rewarded with
the smallest preferment."
Kipling, however, as we have seen got a fair share of preferment in the Church.
In the Annual Biography for 1823, p. 449, a notice of Dr Kipling concludes : "As a
reward for his political services and as some consolation for the mortifications which
he had experienced Dr Kipling was made Dean of Peterborough."

1769 by the Archbishop of York, and licensed to a curacy in the parish church
of Wakefield. One of these names was instituted Rector of High Hoyland (second
part), Yorks., 20 June 1777, and held it until 1785.
P. 169 no. 3. Rowland Hill was the sixth son of Sir Rowland Hill of Hawke-
stone, in the parish of Hodnet, and his wife, Jane, daughter of Sir Brian
Broughton, baronet, of Broughton, Salop. He was born at Hawkestoue 27 August
1745. He was sent to school at Eton. His elder brother, Richard, who had
preceded him, afterwards author of Pietas Oxonienaes, published on the Oxford
expulsion of 1768, had a considerable influence over Rowland Hill, and turned
his thoughts in early youth to religious matters. Rowland Hill was sent to
St John's with the view of becoming a clergyman, obtaining a Fellowship, and
so qualifying for one of the Hill livings attached to St John's. (These livings were
the gift of Sir Richard Hill, the diplomatist, see Part ii, P. 55 no. 44.) According
to his biographer, Mr Sidney, Hill became a fellow-commoner soon after entering
College, a class at that time not eligible for Fellowships. While at Cambridge
Hill came under the influence of John Berridge (Fellow of Clare Hall, B.A. 1738,
Rector of Everton, Beds., 1755-1793), then celebrated as an itinerant preacher.
Hill was in the habit of riding over to Everton on Sundays to attend Berridge's
services, returning to College in time for evening chapel. He soon began to preach
in the neighbourhood of Cambridge, and entered into correspondence with White-
field, carrying on his preaching near home during the vacations. He kept up
a correspondence with friends of similar views at Oxford, and sympathised with the
six students who were expelled from St Edmund Hall, Oxford, on 11 March 1768,
for methodistical views and practices. This has led to some confusion, and it has
been stated that Rowland Hill had been at Oxford before entering at St John's.
While an undergraduate he is stated to have excelled in athletic pursuits, riding,
skating, and swimming, and he is stated to have swum from Cambridge to
Grantchester. In January 1769 he took his degree as Junior Optime in the
Mathematical Tripos of 1769 ; it was unusual for a Fellow Commoner to graduate
in honours. He now tried to obtain Orders, but was refused by six Bishops. His
attitude towards the Church both then, and throughout his life, was practically
the same ; he accepted her doctrines and liturgy, but refused to submit to her
discipline. He continued his itinerant preaching, although it was not regarded
with favour by his father. He took the degree of M.A. in 1772. In 1773 he
became engaged to Miss Mary Tudway, sister of his brother-in-law, Clement
Tudway, M.P. for Wells, and they were married in London at Marylebone Church,
27 May 1773. Through the influence of Mr Tudway he was ordained Deacon
by Dr Edward Willes, Bishop of Bath and Wells, on Trinity Sunday, 6 June 1773.
His letters at this time shew that Hill was anxious to be ordained, but he would
submit to no conditions, and he was greatly gratified when he was ordained
' without any promise or condition whatever.' Even after the promise of ordination
had been obtained he put himself in some jeopardy by itinerant preaching. On
ordination he was licensed to the curacy of Kingston, Somerset, with a stipend
of £40; how long he held this is not quite clear. He now obtained letters
dimissory from the Bishop of Bath and Wells to be ordained Priest by the Bishop
of Carlisle (Dr Edward Law, P. 22 no. 19), who had promised to give Priest's
orders if some other prelate would grant those of Deacon. But when Hill
presented himself Law pleaded inability to carry out his promise, the Archbishop
of York having forbidden Hill's ordination on the ground of his perpetual
irregularities. In September 1773 Hill was appointed Chaplain to Melusina,
Countess Dowager of Chesterfield. After this failure to obtain Priest's orders.
702 APPEXDIX.
Hill found a new field for his activity in, and near London, attracting large
audiences. He also travelled and preached in Wales and the West country. He
had a house and chapel built for him at Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, and
carried on his work from there as liead-quarters. In 1782 a Committee was
formed to build the Surrey Chapel with which Hill's life was in future to be identified.
The management of the Chapel was placed in the hands of a body of trustees,
of which Rowland Hill and his brother. Sir Richard Hill, were members. By the
trust Rowland Hill was to "provide and direct the ministers, so long as he should
preach agreeably to the doctrinal articles of the Church of England, and not to
give the use of the pulpit to any one who was known to preach otherwise." The
first stone of the Chapel was laid 24 June 17'82, when Hill preached, and it was
opened for public worship on 8 June 1783. The congregations were large, and it
was henceforwards the chief sphere of Hill's labours. In connexion with it schools
were built, and other charitable institutions found a centre there. During the
summer months Hill visited Wotton, preaching also at Bristol, and elsewhere
in the West. About this time he described himself as " Rector of Surrey Chapel,
Vicar of Wotton-under-Edge, and Curate of all the fields, commons, &c., throughout
England and Wales." In the year 1786 he started Sunday Schools in connexion
with the Surrey Chapel, among the first to be established. He visited Ireland
in 1793. In 1795 the London Missionary Society was founded, in which Hill was
especially interested ; its aifnual meetings were held in the Surrey Chapel. In
1795 he revisited Ireland, and in 1798 Scotland. At Edinburgh he preached on
the Calton Hill, and estimated the number who heard him at 15,000. As in
England, so in Scotland, he came under the censure of the Established Church.
The General Assembly published a ' Pastoral Admonition ' warning the people
against irregularities, and censuring itinerant preachers. In 1799 he assisted
in the foundation of the Religious Tract Society. In 1800 he conceived the idea
of his ViUage Dialogues, a work which had a great run, and was translated into
several languages. On the discovery of vaccination, Hill, who was Jenner's
neighbour in Gloucestershire, took the matter up with enthusiasm, and defended
the cause against all opponents. He vaccinated children and adults with his own
hands, both in London and in the country, and did as much as any man to
advance the cause. According to his own statement he had in 1805 vaccinated
some 3,000 persons with his own hands {Gentleman's Magazine, 1805, i, 524; see
also his pamphlet on vaccination, where he then claims to have vaccinated between
eight and nine thousand persons). In 1808 his elder brother. Sir Richard Hill,
died, and he succeeded to a considerable additional income. In 1811 an attempt
was made to rate the Surrey Chapel, which he resisted. He took long tours in
the years 1823 and 1824, rfevisiting Scotland in the latter year. His wife died at
Wotton-imder-Edge, 17 August 1830. He was then a very old man, but in spite
of one or two accidents, kept up his activity, visiting various parts of England,
and preaching with astonishing vigour. In his old age he was greatly cheered
by the success of his nephews. He had four nephew-s present on the field of
Waterloo. His nephew, Rowland, Viscount Hill, was one of Wellington's most
trusted lieutenants in the Peninsular War.
Hill preached his last sermon at the Surrey Chapel 31 March 1883 ; he died
11 April, and was buried in the Surrey Chapel, under the pulpit, 19 April.
A tablet, surmounted by a bust, was erected in front of the gallery, behind the
pulpit, with the following inscription: "To the memory of the late | Reverend
Rowland Hill, A.M. | formerly of | Saint John's College, Cambridge j and for |
half a century the zealous, active, and devoted | minister of Surrey Chapel. | This
tablet is erected, rather in token | of | the grateful recollections of | a reverend
pastor I by his bereaved and mourning congregation, | than as a tribute | suitable
to the worth of one | the | imperishable monuments of whose labours | are the
names | written in heaven of the multitudes led to God | by his long and faithful
ministry. | His mortal remains | were interred in this Chapel on the | nineteenth
day of April | a.d. hdcccxxxiii. "
Rowland Hill may be said to have been a preacher for seventy years ; he
started as a boy, preaching in cottages on his father's estate, and as has been
stated above preached till within a few days of his death. From a memorandum
of his own it appears that up to 10 June 1881 he had preached 22,291 times. He
was known to have preached 21 sermons in a single week. His appeai'ance was
dignified and commanding, his voice was powerful and melodious. He had a
singular faculty of suiting his reasoning to his audience, bringing them insensibly
APPENDIX. 703
up to his own level, finding apt metaphors and allusions in the occupations of his
hearers. The rapid succession of his ideas sometimes tinctured his sermons with
the ludicrous, but most of the stories told of his pulpit jests seem to have been
exaggerated. While he was au enthusiast, he was an educated man, and even
in his more grotesque sallies there was at bottom a simplicity of purpose and
seriousness of intention. His printed sermons are said to furnish no illustration
of the style of his natural eloquence, they were written down after delivery from
recollection, or from notes taken down at the time by one of the audience. He
attracted men of very different casts of mind, and was warmly praised by men
so different as Sheridan and Dr Milner, Dean of Carlisle. With his brother
Richard, Toplady, Berridge, and others, he had at one time a bitter controversy
with John and Charles Wesley, in which hard words were used on both sides,
the Wesleys accusing him of Calvinism and Autinomianism. He was not always
discreet as a controversialist. His Spiritual Characteristics ; a sale of Curates,
suggested by an Act of Parliament passed in 1803 with regard to the residence
of the beneficed clergy, was issued contrary to the advice of his sincerest friends.
It led to his exclusion from many pulpits in the Church of England into which
he had previously been admitted. Prior to the publication of this unlucky volume
he had preached in many churches of the Establishment, amongst others in the
Temple Church, when William Pearce (P. 164 no. 16) was Master of the Temple.
It must be confessed that though the intention of the volume may have been good,
its taste was deplorable. He admitted his error when it was too late, and said,
' I wish I could buy it up.' It is now very scarce.
The Life of the Rev. Bowlaiid Hill was published in 1833 by his relative, the
Rev. Edwin Sidney (of St John's, B.A. 1821), curate of Acle, in Norfolk. All
Hill's papers and manuscripts were, by his desire, placed at Sidney's disposal, to
be used at his discretion. Many of these papers and other documents collected by
the Rev. E. Sidney were sold, with the papers of Viscount Hill, by Messrs Hall,
Wateridge and Owen, at the Mart, Shrewsbury, 25 November 1896 (I'he Times,
26 November 1896). Sidney's life of Hill deals delicately with his relative's
attitude towards the Church. Memoirs of the Life, Ministry, and Writings of the
Rev. Rowland Hill, by the Rev. William Jones, M.A., was published in 1834.
The point of view of this volume is that of the uncompromising dissenter. It
contains many extracts from contemporary notices of Rowland Hill, printed at the
time of his death, and a selection of his sermons. The volume is very inaccurate
in the matter of dates and minor facts. A volume, Rowland Hill, his life, anecdotes,
andpulpit sayings, by V. J. Charlesworth, with an introduction by the Rev. C. H.
Spurgeon, was published in 1876. Portraits of Rowland Hill are numerous, one
is prefixed to each of the above volumes. One of the most remarkable is a likeness
by Mountjoy, mezzotinted by Lupton and published in 1826 {Annttal Biography,
1834, p. 272). The following is believed to be a fairly complete list of Hill's
publications, (i) A token of respect, to the memory of the late Rev. James Rouquet ;
being the substance of a sermon, preached in the parish church of St Werburgh,
in the City of Bristol on Sunday, November 24th 1776 ; (ii) Imposture detected, and
the dead vindicated, in a letter to a friend; containing some gentle strictures on the
false and libellous harangue, lately delivered by Mr John Wesley, upon his laying

defence of Whitefield) ; (iii) A full answer to the Rev. J. Wesley's Remarks on a late

service at St James's. The Gentleman's Magazine for 1816, ii, 635, has the following
with regard to Thomas Radford : " This excellent man, and indefatigable minister
for nearly forty years, has been the blessing of his extensive pastoral charge and of
his own family, to whom his loss is irreparable; and the widely circulating
influence given by his energies, talents, and virtues over the labouring classes in
a populous manufacturing district, renders his departure at this critical period
more painfully important. Perhaps there never existed a man more calculated
to persuade, impress, and soothe the irritated mind, and console and tranquillise
the wounded spirit. His zeal was attempered with all the gentle humanities which
result from Christian principles and genuine benevolence ; and the milder elements
of religious humility and native modesty were happily blended in him with the
unwearied activity and unshrinking courage demanded by the awful duties of his
situation, during a period when democratic innovation and infidel principles
threatened to overspread the land. To spotless integrity and unaffected holiness
of life he added the social qualities and domestic virtues, which are the most
endearing charms. He was an elegant scholar, and his conversation united the
brilliancy of a poetic imagination with the information of highly cultivated powers
and various knowledge ; his manners would have graced a polished Court, j'et they
displayed a simphcity and ingenuousness rarely fouud in the most sequestered
walks of private society. Married early in life lo a lady (the daughter of the late
— Gunning, Esq., of Turner's Court, Bath), whose temper, talents, and principles,
assimilated to his own, they have, for more than thirty-eight years engaged and
suffered together in the pleasure of rearing a numerous and promising family,
and the grief of beholding many of their most hopeful branches sinking at different
ages, and from various causes, into an untimely grave. Out of a family of thirteen
only six survive, the eldest of whom, the Rev. John Radford, tutor and sub-dean of
Lincoln College, Oxford, is well known in that University as the best modern
linguist this country can boast...".
Thomas Radford was buried at Ravenfield. In St James's Church, Sheffield,
there is a tablet to his memory with the following inscription : " Sacred to the
Memory | of the i Revd. Thomas Radford, M.A. | first Minister of this church, to
which he was licensed A.D. 1788. | After an affectionate discharge of his | ministerial
duties during 46 years | he was called to give an account of his stewardship | in the
69th year of his age | A.D. 1816. | Reader! Thou art a steward :— art thou faithful ? |
This frail memorial, a tribute of affection and regret, | was erected by the seat-
holders."

of Boncaster. (Hunter, Histon/ of South Yorkshire, i, 392; Hallamshire, ed. Gatty,

Westmonasterienses, 385, 386, identifies this cleric with one Stephen Moore who

out by his place of education as given in the College Register.

where there is a monument to his memory.
He was a great favourite with the bar, who respected him for his learning, and
loved him for his courtesy, a habit to which there was no exception, unless it was
a little roughness towards those who were connected with the newspaper press.
His collection of pictures, by ancient and modern masters, comprising works of
Spagnoletto, Panini, Albano, F. Hals, Sir J. Reynolds, Loutherbourg, Opie,
Morland and others, were sold by Mr Squibb, 30 July 1818. His portrait was

before him at York, in March 1809, in which J. Saunderson was plaintiff, and
H. Mills defendant, which was brought for diverting the water of certain springs
from a rivulet called Commondale Beck, to the prejudice of the plaintiff's mill, in
which action the jury found a verdict for the defendant ; and (in case he should
not have done so in his lifetime) to repay such persons, or their representatives, the
whole costs and expenses with interest. And he added, that, understanding a
subsequent action to have been brought for the diversion of the said water, in which
the plaintiff's right to the use thereof was established, his executors are to reimburse
the several persons, or their representatives, who contributed to the expense of such
second action, all costs and expenses and interest thereon, if not done by himself in
his lifetime. He further stated that he understood, from particular and careful
inquiry, that the injury sustained by the plaintiff did not exceed £20, and he
directed his executors to pay the same, with interest thereon, from the time of
giving the said verdict (Foss, Judges of England, viii, 324-6 ; Gentleman's Magazine,
1814, ii, 92).

John Sargent published in 1785 The Mine ; a dramatic poem, suggested by the

punishment for duelling, his countess resolving to share his fate. It was much
admired in its day, and was several times reprinted, the third edition in 1796 having
in addition " two historic odes," The Vision of Stonehenge, and Mary Queen of Scots.
Cartwright, writing in Sargent's lifetime, observes that : " men of taste and genius
may sincerely regret that an author of such merit has given to the world specimens
only of the gems with which his poetic 3Iine is so amply stored." While in Literary
Memoirs of Living Authors (1798, ii, 238), the poem is thus described : " The 3Iine
is a successful attempt to unite poetry and science. Its principal subjects are the
wonders of the fossil kingdom ; and the manner in which it is executed does
great honour to the learning and genius of the writer, and frequently discovers in
him very uncommon powers of expression." Mr Sargent died in 1830 or 1831. His
eldest son, John Sargent, was a Fellow of King's College, and Rector of
Woollavington (as to him see the Dictionary of National Biography). Emily, the
