TRENCH

RICHARD CHENEVIX (1807-1886).-Poet and theologian, _b._ in Dublin, and _ed._ at Harrow and Camb., took orders, and after serving various country parishes, became in 1847 Prof. of Theology in King's Coll., London, in 1856 Dean of Westminster, and in 1864 Archbishop of Dublin. As Primate of the Irish Church at its disestablishment, he rendered valuable service at that time of trial. In theology his best known works are his _Hulsean Lectures_, _Notes on the Parables_, and _Notes on the Miracles_. His philological writings, _English Past and Present_ and _Select Glossary of English Words_ are extremely interesting and suggestive, though now to some extent superseded. His _Sacred Latin Poetry_ is a valuable collection of mediaeval Church hymns. He also wrote sonnets, elegies, and lyrics, in the first of which he was specially successful, besides longer poems, _Justin Martyr_ and _Sabbation_.
