MARSH

HERBERT (1757-1839).-Theologian and controversialist, _s._ of a clergyman, _ed._ at Canterbury, Cambridge, and Leipsic, was the first to introduce the German methods of Biblical criticism into England, and gave lectures on the subject at Camb., which excited great interest and controversy. In 1816 he was made Bishop of Llandaff, and was translated to Peterborough in 1819. His critical views and his opposition to the evangelical party in the Church, to the Bible Society, to hymns in Divine service, and to Catholic emancipation, involved him in controversy with high, low, and broad churchmen alike. He was the author of a _History of the Politics of Great Britain and France_ (1799), _Comparative View of the Churches of England and Rome_, and _Horae Pelasgicae_.
