HENRY (1810–1871) , See also:English divine and See also:scholar, was See also:born in See also:London on the 7th of See also:October 181o. He came of a See also:Somersetshire See also:family, which had given five consecutive generations of clergymen to the See also:Anglican See also:- CHURCH

church. Alford's See also:early years were passed with his widowed See also:father, who was See also:curate of See also:Steeple See also:Ashton in See also:Wiltshire. He was an extremely precocious lad, and before he was ten had written several Latin odes, a See also:history of the See also:Jews and a See also:series of homiletic outlines. After a peripatetic school course he went up to See also:Cambridge in 1827 as a scholar of Trinity. In 1832 he was 34th wrangler and 8th classic, and in 1834 was made See also:fellow of Trinity. He had already taken orders, and in 1835 began his eighteen years' See also:tenure of the vicarage of Wymeswold in See also:Leicestershire, from which seclusion the twice-repeated offer of a colonial bishopric failed to draw him. He was Hulsean lecturer at Cambridge in 1841-1842, and steadily built up a reputation as scholar and preacher, which would have been enhanced but for his discursive ramblings in the See also:fields of See also:minor See also:poetry and See also:magazine editing. In See also:September 1853 Alford removed to See also:Quebec See also:Chapel, London, where he had a large and cultured See also:congregation. In See also:March 1857 See also:Viscount See also:Palmerston advanced him to the deanery of See also:Canterbury, where, till his See also:death on the 12th of See also:January 1871, he lived the same strenuous and diversified See also:life that had always characterized him. The inscription on his See also:tomb, chosen by himself, is " Diversorium Vialoris Hierosolymam Proficiscentis."
Alford was a not inconsiderable artist, as his picture-See also:book, The See also:Riviera (187o), shows, and he had abundant musical and See also:mechanical See also:- TALENT (Lat. talentum, adaptation of Gr.

Besides editing the See also:works of See also:John See also:Donne, he published several volumes of his own See also:verse, The School of the See also:Heart (1835), The See also:- ABBOT (from the Hebrew ab, a father, through the Syriac abba, Lat. abbas, gen. abbatis, O.E. abbad, fr. late Lat. form abbad-em changed in 13th century under influence of the Lat. form to abbat, used alternatively till the end of the 17th century; Ger.

Abbot of Muchelnaye (1841), and a number of See also:hymns, the best-known of which are " Forward!, be our See also:watch-word," " Come, ye thankful See also:people, come," and " Ten thousand times ten thousand." He translated the Odyssey, wrote a well-known See also:manual of See also:idiom, A Plea for the See also:Queen's English (1863), and was the first editor of the Contemporary See also:Review (1866-1870). His See also:chief fame, however, rests upon his monumental edition of the New Testament in See also:Greek (4 vols.), which occupied him from 1841 to 1861. In this See also:work he first brought before English students a careful See also:collation of the readings of the chief See also:MSS. and the researches of the ripest See also:continental scholarship of his See also:day. Philological rather than theological in See also:character, it marked an epochal See also:change from the old homiletic commentary, and though more See also:recent See also:research, patristic and papyral, has largely changed the method of New Testament exegesis, Alford's work is still a See also:quarry where the student can dig with a See also:good See also:deal of profit.
His Life, written by his widow, appeared in 1873 (See also:Rivington).
