had been a master at Eton, and afterwards Rector of
Dunton, a charge for which he gave up the certainty of a lucrative position. The story of his life sets forth a singularly pure and steadfast character, As a colleger at Eton in dark days—his school-life coincides with the " Eton of Eighty Years Ago," lately noticed in these columns—he won respect by his steadfast adherence to prin- ciple. As a master he was greatly loved and trusted. Bishop Abraham tells a story much to the point. As a new-comer he was asked, " Who's your tutor ? "and answered, " Chapman." " Well," said the questioner, "take my advice, and never shirk your tutor, or tell him a lie." As a bishop he was eminently practical, hard- working, and unselfish. A few specimens of charges, sermons, &c., which are well worth preserving, have been added to the biography.
