Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SMALRIDGE, GEORGE (1663-1719) , English
bishop
 , was born at Lichfield, where he received his early education, this being completed at Westminster school and at Christ Church,
Oxford
 . His political opinions were largely modelled on those of his friend Francis Atterbury, with whom he was associated at
Oxford
  and elsewhere. After being a tutor at Christ Church, he was minister of two chapels in London, and for six or seven years he acted as
deputy
  for the regius professor of divinity at Oxford; his Jacobite opinions, however, prevented him from securing this position when it fell vacant in 1707. In 1711 he was made dean of
Carlisle
  and canon of Christ Church, and in 1713 he succeeded Atterbury as dean of Christ Church. In the following year he was appointed
bishop
  of Bristol, but retained his deanery. In 1715 Smalridge refused to sign the declaration against the pre-tender, James
Edward
 , defending his action in his Reasons for not signing the Declaration. In other ways also he showed animus against the
house
  of Hanover, but his only
punishment
  was his removal from the post of lord
almoner
  to the king. He died on the 27th of September 1719. The bishop was esteemed by Swift, Steele,
Whiston
  and other famous men of his day, while Dr Johnson declared his sermons to be of the highest class. His Sixty Sermons, preached on Several Occasions, was published in 1726; other editions 1827, 1832, 1853 and 1862.
