TAYLOR, See also:ISAAC (1829-1901) , See also:English philologist, eldest son of the preceding, was See also:born at See also:Stanford See also:Rivers, 2nd May 1829. He was educated at Trinity See also:College, See also:Cambridge, and took the mathematical tripos in 1853. His interests, however, were linguistic rather than mathematical, and his earliest publication was a See also:translation from the See also:German of W. A. See also:Becker's Charicles. Though of See also:Nonconformist stock, Isaac Taylor joined the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
Church of See also:England, and in 1857 was ordained to a See also:country curacy. In 186o he published The See also:Liturgy of the Dissenters, an See also:appeal for the revision of the See also:Book of See also:Common See also:Prayer " on See also:Protestant lines," " as expedient for the material interests of the Church, and as an See also:act of See also:plain See also:justice to the Dissenters." His studies in See also:local See also:etymology See also:bore See also:fruit in Words and Places in Etymological See also:Illustration of See also:History, See also:Ethnology and See also:Geography (1864). Between 1865 and 1869, when he was in See also:charge of a Bethnal See also:Green See also:parish, his philological studies were laid aside, and he published only The See also:Burden of the Poor and The See also:Family See also:Pen, a See also:record of the See also:literary See also:work of his own family, the Taylors of Ongar. In 1869 he became See also:incumbent of a church at See also:Twickenham, and used his See also:comparative leisure to produce his See also:Etruscan Researches (1874); in which he contended for the Ugrian origin of the Etruscan See also:language. In 1875 he was presented to the rectory of Settrington, See also:Yorkshire, and began his systematic researches into the origin of the See also:alphabet. His Greeks and Goths; a Study on the See also:Runes (1879), in which he suggested that the runes were of See also:Greek origin, led to a See also:good See also:deal of controversy. His most important work is The Alphabet, an See also:Account of the Origin and Development of Letters (1883; new and revisededition 1899). Taylor points out that alphabetical changes are the result of See also:evolution taking See also:place in accordance with fixed See also:laws. " See also:Epigraphy and See also:palaeography may claim, no less than See also:philology or See also:biology, to be ranked among the inductive sciences." He was largely indebted to the See also:Egyptian researches of See also:Rouge, which it has since become necessary to reconsider in the See also:light of discoveries in See also:Crete. In 1885 Taylor became See also:canon of See also:York, and two years later See also:dean. His See also:paper on the Origin of the See also:Aryans, read at the See also:British Association in 1887, was after-wards See also:expanded into a book. In the following See also:winter he visited See also:Egypt, and his letters from there, collected under the See also:title Leaves from an Egyptian Notebook, aroused considerable controversy from the extremely favourable view he took of the See also:Mahommedan See also:religion. For the last few years of his See also:life Dean Taylor suffered from See also:ill See also:health, and was laid aside from active work for some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
