Oxford, and then entered See also:holy orders, becoming See also:vicar of Shiplake; but apart from his See also:hobby of portrait-See also:collecting, which resulted in the See also:principal See also:work associated with his name, and the publication of some sermons, his See also:life was uneventful. Yet a new word was added to the See also:language—" to grangerize "—on See also:account of him. In 1769 he published in two See also:quarto volumes a See also:Biographical See also:History of See also:England " consisting of characters dispersed in different classes, and adapted to a methodical See also:catalogue of engraved See also:British heads "; this was " intended as an See also:essay towards reducing our See also:biography to a See also:system, and a help to the knowledge of portraits." The work was supplemented in later See also:editions by Granger, and still further editions were brought out by the Rev. See also:Mark See also:Noble, with additions from Granger's materials. See also:Blank leaves were See also:left for the filling in of engraved portraits for extra See also:illustration of the See also:text, and it became a favourite pursuit to discover such illustrations and insert them in a Granger, so that " grangerizing " became a See also:term for such an extra-illustration of any work, especially with cuts taken from other books. The immediate result of the See also:appearance of Granger's own work was the rise in value of books containing portraits, which were cut out and inserted in collector's copies.
