See also:WHATELY, See also:RICHARD (1787-1863) , See also:English logician and theological writer, See also:archbishop of See also:Dublin, was See also:born in See also:London on the 1st of See also:February 1787. He was educated at a private school near See also:Bristol, and at See also:Oriel See also:College, See also:- OXFORD

Oxford. He obtained See also:double seccnd-class honours and the See also:prize for the English See also:essay; in 1811 he was elected See also:fellow of Oriel, and in 1814 took orders. During his See also:residence at Oxford he wrote his celebrated See also:tract, Historic Doubts relative to See also:Napoleon See also:Bonaparte, a very See also:clever jeu d'esprit directed against excessive See also:scepticism as applied to the See also:Gospel See also:history. After his See also:marriage in 1821 he settled in Oxford, and in 1822 was appointed See also:Bampton lecturer. The lectures, On the Use and Abuse of Party Spirit in Matters of See also:Religion, were published in the same See also:year. In See also:August 1823 he re-moved to Halesworth in See also:Suffolk, but in 1825, having been appointed See also:principal of St See also:Alban See also:- HALL

Hall, he returned to Oxford. At St Alban Hall Whately found much to reform, and he See also:left it a different See also:place. In 1825 he published a See also:series of Essays on Some of the Peculiarities of the See also:Christian Religion, followed in 1828 by a second series On some of the Difficulties in the Writings of St See also:Paul, and in 183o by a third On the Errors of Rontanism traced to their Origin in Human Nature. While he was at St Alban Hall (1826) the See also:work appeared which is perhaps most closely associated with his name—his See also:treatise on See also:Logic, originally contributed to the See also:Encyclopaedia Metropolitana, in which he raised the study of the subject to a new level. It gave a See also:great impetus to the study of logic throughout Great See also:Britain. A similar treatise on See also:Rhetoric, also contributed to the Encyclopaedia, appeared in 1828. In 1829 Whately was elected to the professorship of See also:political See also:economy at Oxford in See also:succession to See also:Nassau See also:- WILLIAM

William See also:Senior. This was a subject admirably suited to his lucid, See also:practical See also:intellect; but his See also:tenure of See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office was cut See also:short by his See also:appointment to the archbishopric of Dublin in 1831. He published only one course of See also:Introductory Lectures (1831), but one of his first acts on going to Dublin was to endow a See also:chair of political economy in Trinity College out of his private See also:purse.
Whately's appointment by See also:Lord See also:Grey to the see of Dublin came as a great surprise to everybody, for though a decided Liberal Whately had from the beginning stood aloof from all political parties, and ecclesiastically his position was that of
an Ishmaelite fighting for his own See also:hand. The Evangelicals regarded him as a dangerous latitudinarian on the ground of his views on See also:Catholic emancipation, the See also:Sabbath question, the See also:doctrine of See also:election, and certain quasi-Sabellian opinions he was supposed to hold about the See also:character and attributes of See also:Christ, while his view of 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, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church was diametrically opposed to that of the High Church party, and from the beginning he was the determined opponent of what was afterwards called the Tractarian See also:movement. The appointment was challenged in the See also:House of Lords, but without success. In See also:Ireland it was immensely unpopular among the Protestants, both for the reasons just mentioned and as being the appointment of an Englishman and a Whig. Whately's See also:blunt outspokenness and his " want of conciliating See also:manners," which even his See also:friends admit, prevented him from ever completely eradicating these prejudices, while at the same 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)

- TIME, STANDARD
time he met with determined opposition from his own See also:clergy. He ran See also:counter to their most cherished prejudices from the first by connecting himself prominently with the See also:attempt to establish a See also:national and unsectarian See also:system of See also:education. He enforced strict discipline in his See also:diocese, where it had been See also:long unknown; and he published an unanswerable statement of his views on the Sabbath (Thoughts on the Sabbath, 1832). He took a small See also:country place at See also:Redesdale, 4 M. out of Dublin, where he could enjoy his favourite relaxation of gardening. Here his See also:life was one of indefatigable See also:industry. Questions of See also:tithes, reform of the Irish church and of the Irish Poor See also:Laws, and, in particular, the organization of national education occupied much of his time. But he found leisure for the discussion of other public questions, for example, the subject of transportation and the See also:general question of secondary punishments. In 1837 he wrote his well-known handbook of Christian Evidences, which was translated during his lifetime into more than a dozen See also:languages. At a later See also:period he also wrote, in a similar See also:form, Easy Lessons on Reasoning, on Morals, on Mind and on the See also:British Constitution. Among his other See also:works may be mentioned Charges and Tracts (1836), Essays on Some of the Dangers to Christian Faith (1839), The See also:Kingdom of Christ (1841). He also edited See also:- BACON

Bacon's Essays, See also:Paley's Evidences and Paley's Moral See also:Philosophy. His cherished See also:- SCHEME (Lat. schema, Gr. oxfjya, figure, form, from the root axe, seen in exeiv, to have, hold, to be of such shape, form, &c.)
scheme of unsectarian religious instruction for Protestants and Catholics alike was carried out for a number of years with a measure of success, but in 1852 the scheme See also:broke down owing to the op-position of the new Catholic archbishop of Dublin, and Whately See also:felt himself constrained to withdraw from the Education See also:Board. From the beginning Whately was a keen-sighted observer of the See also:condition of Ireland question, and gave much offence by openly supporting the See also:state endowment of the Catholic clergy as a measure of See also:justice. During the terrible years of 1846 and 1847 the archbishop and his See also:family were unwearied in their efforts to alleviate the miseries of the See also:people. From 1856 onwards symptoms of decline began to See also:manifest themselves in a paralytic See also:affection of the left See also:side. Still he continued the active. See also:discharge of his public duties till the summer of 1863, when he was prostrated by an See also:ulcer in the See also:leg, and after several months of acute suffering he died on the 8th of See also:October 1863.
Whately was a great talker, much addicted in See also:early life to See also:argument, in which he used others as See also:instruments on which to See also:hammer out his own views, and as he advanced in life much given to didactic See also:monologue. He had a keen wit, whose See also:sharp edge often inflicted wounds never deliberately intended by the See also:speaker, and a wholly uncontrollable love of punning. Whately often offended people by the extreme unconventionality of his manners. When at Oxford his See also:- WHITE

white See also:hat, rough white coat, and huge white See also:dog earned for him the See also:sobriquet of the White See also:Bear, and he outraged the conventions of the place by exhibiting the exploits of his climbing dog in See also:Christchurch Meadow. With a remarkably See also:fair and lucid mind, his sympathies were narrow, and by his blunt outspokenness on points of difference he alienated many. With no mystical fibre in his own constitution,. the Tractarian movement was incomprehensible to him, and was the See also:object of his See also:bitter dislike and contempt. The doctrines of the See also:Low Church party seemed to him to be almost equally tingedwith superstition. He took a practical, almost business-like view of See also:Christianity, which seemed to High Churchmen and Evangelicals alike little better than See also:Rationalism. In this they did Whately less than justice, for his religion was very real and genuine. But he may be said to have continued the typical Christianity of the 18th See also:century—that of the theologians who went out to fight the Rationalists with their own weapons. It Was to Whately essentially a belief in certain matters of fact, to be accepted or rejected after an examination of " evidences." Hence his endeavour always is to convince the logical See also:faculty, and his Christianity inevitably appears as a thing of the intellect rather than of the See also:heart. Whately's qualities are exhibited at their best in his Logic, which is, as it were, the See also:quintessence of the views which he afterwards applied to different subjects. He wrote nothing better than the luminous Appendix to this work on Ambiguous Terms.
In 1864 his daughter published See also:Miscellaneous Remains from his See also:commonplace See also:book and in 1866 his Life and See also:Correspondence in two volumes. The Anecdotal See also:Memoirs of Archbishop Whately, by W. J Fitzpatrick (1864), enliven the picture.
' WHAT-NOT, a piece of See also:furniture, derived from the See also:French See also:etagere, which was exceedingly popular in See also:England in the first three-quarters of the 19th century. It usually consists of slender uprights or pillars, supporting a series of shelves for holding See also:china, ornaments or trifles of any See also:kind—hence the allusive name. In its English form, although a convenient See also:drawing-See also:room receptacle, it was rarely beautiful. The early See also:mahogany examples are, however, sometimes graceful in their simplicity.
