This article appears in Volume V07, Page 211 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CORY, WILLIAM JOHNSON (1823-1892) , English school-master and author, son of Charles Johnson of Torrington, Devon-shire, was born on the 9th of January 1823. He was educated at Eton and King's College,
Cambridge
 . At
Cambridge
  he gained the chancellor's medal for an English poem on Plato in 1843, and the Craven Scholarship in 1844. In 1845, after graduating at the university, he was made an assistant master at Eton, where he remained for some twenty-six years. He has been called " the most brilliant Eton tutor of his day." He had a
great
  influence on his pupils, and he defended the Etonian system against the criticism of
Matthew
  James Higgins. In 1872, having inherited an estate at Halsdon and assumed the name of
Cory
 , he left Eton. He married
late
  in life, and after four years spent in Madeira he settled in 1882 at
Hampstead
 . He died on the 11th of June 1892. He proved his genuine lyrical power in Ionica (1858), which was republished with some additional poems in 1891. He also produced Lucretilis (1871), a
work
  on the writing of Latin verses; lophon (1873), on Greek Iambics; and Guide to Modern History from 1815 to 1835 (1882). Extracts from the Letters and
Journals
  of William
Cory
 , which contains much paradoxical and suggestive criticism, were edited by F.W. Cornish and published by private subscription in 1897.
His elder brother, Charles
Wellington
  Johnson Furse (1821-190o), who, on the death of his father in 1854, took the name of Furse, was canon and archdeacon of Westminster from 1894 till his death. The artist Charles
Wellington
  Furse, A.R.A. (1868-1904), was a son of Archdeacon Furse.
