RICHARD WILLIAM (1815-1890).-Divine, historian, and biographer, was _b._ at Lisbon, and _ed._ at Oxf., where he became a friend of J.H. Newman (_q.v._). He took orders, and became Rector of Whatley, Somerset, and in 1871 Dean of St. Paul's. He was a leading member of the High Church party, but was held in reverence by many who did not sympathise with his ecclesiastical views. Among his writings are _The Beginning of the Middle Ages_ (1877), and a memoir on _The Oxford Movement_ (1891), _pub._ posthumously. He also wrote Lives of Anselm, Dante, Spenser, and Bacon.
