OBITUARY
The Rev. William Edward JELF, B. D.,
was born at Gloucester, England, in 1811; educated at Eton and Christ church,
Oxford, receiving B. A. with first-class classical honors in 1833. In 1846-8
he was one of the Whitehall preachers and delivered the Bampton lectures

was graduated at Oxford in 1821. In 1827, he was appointed chaplain in
ordinary to George IV, and held that office under William IV and Victoria. On
the accession of the present sovereign, Dr. HOOK preached a sermon, in the
Chapel royal, on the text "Hear the Church," which greatly offended
those in high authority. It was widely circulated. He was a prodigious worker
and prepared the "Church Dictionary, "Ecclesiastical
Biography," and "Devotional Library," besides several volumes
of sermons and many pamphlets on current topics. "On the Means of
Rendering more Efficient the Education of the People" attracted great
attention for its bold and liberal views, and was alluded to recently by Mr.
GLADSTONE for the "sagacious forebought it displayed." He was
elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1862. He was a man of wide influence
among the workingmen. At the time of his death he was at work upon a
biographical history of the English church, called. "The Lives of the

had a leg cut, the bone broken and a large chip cut out of the bone. It was suffering terribly and as there was
no hope of its ever being of service again Mr. WELSH knocked it in the head. The other horse had a large gash in
its fore shoulder, but was doc- (didn't get the rest)
