LEMPRIERE, JOHN (c. 17651824) ,
English
  classical scholar, was born in
Jersey
 , and educated at Winchester and Pembroke College,
Oxford
 . He is chiefly known for his Bibliotheca Classica or Classical Dictionary (1788), which, edited by various later scholars,
long
  remained a readable if not very trustworthy reference
book
  in mythology and classical history. In 1792, after holding other scholastic posts, he was appointed to the head-mastership of Abingdon grammar school, and later became the
vicar
  of that parish. While occupying this living, he published a Universal
Biography
  of Eminent Persons in all Ages and Countries (18o8). In 1809 he succeeded to the head-mastership of
Exeter
  free grammar school. On retiring from this, in consequence of a disagreement with the trustees, he was given the living of Meetll in Devonshire, which, together with that of Newton Petrock, he held till his death in London on the 1st of
February
  1824.
