Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BUN-CAL
BUSBY, RICHARD (16o6-1695) , English clergyman, and head master of Westminster school, was born at Lutton in Lincoln-shire in 16o6. He was educated at the school which he after-wards superintended for so
long
  a period, and first signalized himself by gaining a king's scholarship. From Westminster Busby proceeded to Christ
Church
 ,
Oxford
 , where he graduated in 1628. In his thirty-third year he had already become renowned for the obstinate zeal with which he supported the falling dynasty of the Stuarts, and was rewarded for his services with the prebend and rectory of Cudworth, with the chapel of Knowle annexed, in Somersetshire. Next year he became head master of Westminster, where his reputation as a teacher soon became
great
 . He himself once boasted that sixteen of the bishops who then occupied the bench had been birched with his " little rod." No school in England has on the whole produced so many eminent men as Westminster did under the regime of Busby. Among the more illustrious of his pupils may be mentioned
South
 , Dryden,
Locke
 , Prior and
Bishop
  Atterbury. He wrote and edited many works for the use of his scholars. His
original
 
treatises
  (the best of which are his Greek and Latin grammars), as well as those which he edited, have, however,
long
  since fallen into disuse. Busby died in 1695, in his ninetieth year, and was buried in Westminster Abbey, where his effigy is still to be seen.
