KING, See also:EDWARD (1829–1910) , See also:English See also:bishop, was the second son of the Rev. See also:Walter King, See also:archdeacon of See also:Rochester and See also:rector of See also:Stone, See also:Kent. Graduating from See also:Oriel See also:College, See also:Oxford, he was ordained in 1854, and four years later became See also:chaplain and lecturer at Cuddesdon Theological College. He was See also:principal at Cuddesdon from 1863 to 1873, when he became regius See also:professor of See also:pastoral See also:theology at Oxford and See also:canon of See also:Christ See also:Church. To the See also:world outside he was only known at this See also:time as one of Dr See also:Pusey's most intimate See also:friends and as a leading member of the English Church See also:Union. But in Oxford, and especially among the younger men, he exercised an exceptional See also:influence, due, not to See also:special profundity of See also:intellect, but to his remarkable See also:charm in See also:personal intercourse, and his abounding sincerity and goodness. In 1885 Dr King was made bishop of See also:Lincoln. The most eventful See also:episode of his episcopate was his See also:prosecution (1888–189o) J. W. See also:Hales, in the See also:Athenaeum for the 1st of See also:August 1891, suggests that in See also:writing King's See also:elegy See also:Milton had in his mind, besides the Idylls of See also:Theocritus, a Latin See also:eclogue of Giovanni Baptista See also:Amalteo entitled Lycidas, in which Lycidas bids farewell to the See also:land he loves and prays for See also:gentle breezes on his voyage. He was See also:familiar with the See also:Italian Latin poets of the See also:Renaissance, and he may also have been influenced in his choice of the name by the shepherd Lycidas in See also:Sannazaro's eclogue Phillis.for ritualistic practices before the See also:archbishop of See also:Canterbury, Dr See also:Benson, and, on See also:appeal, before the judicial See also:committee of the Privy See also:Council (see LINCOLN See also:JUDGMENT). Dr King, who loyally conformed his practices to the archbishop's judgment, devoted himself unsparingly to the See also:work of his See also:diocese; and, irrespective of his High Church views, he won the See also:affection and reverence of all classes by his real saintliness of See also:character.

The bishop, who never married, died at Lincoln on the 8th of See also:

March 1910. See the obituary See also:notice in The Times, March 9, 1910.
