hymn-singing, Calvinism, Roman Catholicism, and the Evangel- See obituary by Dr Henry Woodward (with portrait) in Geol. ical
movement

Society. Among his writings are Lectures on the Criticism and Interpretation of the Bible (1828), A Comparative View of the Churches of England and Rome (1814), and Home Pelasgicae (1315). He died at
Peterborough
