King William's See also:College, See also:Castletown, Isle of See also:Man, a school whose See also:external surroundings are- reproduced in his popular schoolboy See also:tale, See also:Eric; or, Little by Little. In 1847 he entered King's College, See also:London. Through the See also:influence of F.D. See also:Maurice he was led to the study of See also:Coleridge, whose writings had a profound influence upon his faith and opinions. He proceeded to Trinity College, See also:Cambridge,in See also:October 1851, and in the following See also:year took the degree of B.A. at the university of London. In 1854 he took his degree as See also:fourth junior optime, and fourth in the first class of the classical tripos. In addition to other college prizes he gained the See also:chancellor's See also:medal for the English See also:prize poem on the See also:search for See also:Sir See also:John See also:Franklin in 1852, the Le Bas prize and the Norrisian prize. He was elected See also:fellow of Trinity College in 1856.
On leaving the university Farrar became an assistant-See also:master under G. E. L. See also:Cotton at See also:Marlborough College. In See also:November 1855 he was appointed an assistant-master at See also:Harrow, where he remained for fifteen years. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1864, university preacher in 1868, honorary See also:chaplain to the See also:queen in 1869 and Hulsean lecturer in 1870. In 1871 he was appointed headmaster of Marlborough College, and in the following year he became chaplain-in-See also:ordinary to the queen. In 1876 he was appointed See also:canon of See also:Westminster and See also:rector of St See also:Margaret's, Westminster. He took his D.D. degree in 1874, the first under the new regulations at Cambridge. Farrar began his See also:literary labours with the publication of his schoolboy See also:story Eric in 1858, succeeded in the following year by See also:Julian See also:Home and Lyrics of See also:Life, and in 1862 by St Winifred's; or the See also:World of School. He had already published a See also:work on The Origin of See also:Language, and followed it up by a See also:series of See also:works on See also:grammar and scholastic See also:philology, including Chapters on Language (1865) ; See also:Greek Grammar Rules (1865); Greek Syntax (1866); and Families of Speech (1869). He edited Essays on a Liberal Education_ in 1868; and published Seekers after See also:God in the See also:Sunday Library (1869). It was by his theological works, how-ever, that Farrar attained his greatest popularity. His Hulsean lectures were published in 1870 under the See also:title of The See also:Witness of See also:History to See also:Christ. The Life of Christ, which was published in 1874, speedily passed through a See also:great number of See also:editions, and is still in much demand. It reveals considerable See also:powers of See also:imagination and eloquence, and was partly inspired by a See also:personal knowledge of the sacred localities depicted. In 1877 appeared In the Days of My Youth, sermons preached in the See also:chapel of Marlborough College; and during the same year his See also:volume of sermons on Eternal Hope—in which he called in question the See also:dogma of See also:everlasting punishment—caused much controversy in religious circles and did much to mollify the harsh See also:theology of an earlier See also:age. There is little doubt that his boldness and liberality of thought barred his See also:elevation to the episcopate. In 1879 appeared The Life and Works of St See also:Paul, and this was succeeded in 1882 by The Early Days of See also:Christianity. Then came in See also:- ORDER

Interpretation." He was appointed dean of See also:Canterbury in 1895. From 1890 to 1895 he was chaplain to the See also:speaker of the See also:House of See also:Commons, and in 1894 he was appointed See also:deputy-clerk of the closet to Queen See also:Victoria. He died at Canterbury on the 22nd of See also:March 1903.
As a theologian Farrar occupied a position midway between the Evangelical party and the Broad Church; while as a somewhat rhetorical preacher and writer he exerted a commanding influence over wide circles of. readers. He was an ardent See also:temperance and social reformer, and was one of the founders of the institution known as the See also:Anglican Brotherhood, a religious See also:band with See also:modern aims and See also:objects.
