CHANDLER, RICHARD (1738-1810) , British antiquary, was born in 1738 at Elson in
Hampshire
 , and educated at Winchester and at Queen's and Magdalen Colleges, Oxford. His first
work
  consisted of fragments from the
minor
  Greek poets, with notes (Elegiaca Graeca, 1759); and in 1763 he published a fine edition of the Arundelian
marbles
 , Marmora Oxoniensia, with a Latin translation, and a number of suggestions for supplying thelacunae. He was sent by the Dilettanti Society with Nicholas Revett, an architect, and Pars, a painter, to explore the antiquities of
Ionia
  and
Greece
  (17631766); and the result of their
work
  was the two magnificent folios of Ionian antiquities published in 1769. He subsequently held several church preferments, including the rectory of Tylehurst, in Berkshire, where he died on the 9th of February 181o. Other works by Chandler were Inscriptiones Antiquae pleraeque nondum editae (Oxford, 1774); Travels in Asia
Minor
  (1775); Travels in
Greece
  (1776); History of Ilium (1803), in which he asserted the accuracy of Homer's geography. His Life of Bishop
Waynflete
 , lord high chancellor to
Henry
  VI., appeared in 1811.
A complete edition (with notes by Revett) of the Travels in Asia Minor and Greece was published by R. Churton (Oxford, 1825), with an " Account of the Author."
