Mr. Heber accepted an offer to accompany Mr. Thornton in a tour through Germany, Russia, and the Crimea. Of the value of his journal some idea may be formed, from several passages which the late Dr. Clarke was permitted to extract for the illustration of his travels. While abroad, Mr. Heber was unani THE family of Heber is of ancient standing in Yorkshire, branches of which have, at different periods, been transplanted into Shropshire, Cheshire, and Essex. The Rev. Reginald Heber, master of arts of Brazen-mously chosen fellow of All Souls' College; nose College, Oxford, on becoming rector and upon his return, he gained another of Malpas, in Cheshire, married the daugh- academical prize for an essay in prose, on ter of Dr. Allanson, of the county of York, "The Sense of Honour." Soon after this, by whom he had two sons, Richard, who Mr. Heber relinquished his fellowship, on was for some time one of the representa- being presented to the family rectory of tives of the university of Oxford, and Hodnet, in Shropshire, and marrying the Reginald, the subject of the present memoir. daughter of Dr. Shipley, dean of St. Asaph.

Four years afterwards, the author pose of her property elsewhere. printed a small volume of "Original Poems and Translations," which, for vigour of conception, beauty of imagery, and harmony of versification, may vie with some of the finest productions in our language. In 1815, Mr. Heber preached the Bampton Lecture before the university of Oxford, on which occasion he took for his subject, "The Personality and Office of the Christian Comforter." The course was well attended, and the preacher gained great credit, by the manner in which he discharged this important duty. Yet, when the discourses, pursuant to the will of the founder of the lecture, appeared from the press, some of the positions advanced therein were called in question by the editor of the British Critic, in such a manner, that the author, though little disposed to controversy, felt himself under the necessity of replying to the anonymous reviewer, in "A Letter addressed to the Head of a College." The next publication of Mr. Heber was an admirable sermon, preached by him in the cathedral B His second son, who, with his name, inherited his liberal disposition, was born at Malpas, April 21, 1783. The rudiments of his education he received under the parental roof, from whence he was removed at an early age, to the grammar school of Whitchurch, in Shropshire, and next, to a private seminary near the metropolis, kept by Dr. Bristowe. At the age of sixteen, he was entered a student of Brazennose College, and the year following gained the chancellor's prize for his "Carmen Seculare," an elegant Latin poem on the commencement of the new century. In 1803 he distinguished himself by his exquisite English poem, entituled, "Palestine," which obtained the gold medal, and was recited with great applause in the theatre. On that occasion the venerable father of the young poet was present, and the effect upon his nerves was such, that he died shortly afterwards. To relieve his mind under this loss, 97.-VOL. IX. |
