Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SIMEON . CHARLES (1759-1836),
English
  evangelical divine, was born at
Reading
  and educated at
Eton
  and
Cambridge
 . In 1782 he became fellow of King's College,
Cambridge
 , and took orders, receiving the living of Holy Trinity, Cambridge, in the following year. He was at first so unpopular that the services were frequently interrupted, and he was often insulted in the streets. Having lived down this prejudice, he subsequently gained a very remarkable and lasting influence among the under-graduates of the university. He became a
leader
  among evangelical churchmen, was one of the founders of the
Church
  Missionary Society, and acted as adviser to the
East
  India Company in the choice of chaplains for India. His
chief
 
work
  is a commentary upon the whole Bible, entitled Horae homileticae (London, 18191820). He died on the 13th of November 1836. The " Simeon Trustees " were instituted by him for the purpose of acquiring
church
  patronage in the interests of evangelical views.
See Memoirs of Charles Simeon, with a selection from his writings and correspondence, edited by the Rev. W.
Carus
  (3rd ed., 1848) ; H. C. G. Mollie, Charles Simeon (London, 1892).
