He  is the only English writer who expresses with uncom ! promising sharpness the abstract doctrine of political  rights held by the French revolutionists. His connection  with the American struggle, and afterwards with the  French movement, gave him a unique position, and his  ritings became a sort of text-book for the extreme  I radical party in England.

He carried his greater chronicle down to May 1259, where he ends abruptly, and certainly died about that time. In vigour and brightness of expression be stands before every other English chronicler: and his writing possesses peculiar historic valm- from tin- information he derived from leading actors In contemporary events, and from his bold and independent trwitim-nt of the history of his times, which led him to denounce the of foreign turptetlattiiiT to English hcucliccs  and the expenditure of Kni:Iih wealth on schemes ol no  benefit to the country.

 * ✅Matthew Parker Matthew Parker (1504–1575), archbishop of Canterbury; son of William Parker, a calenderer of stuffs; educated at St. Mary's Hostel, Cambridge, and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge; fellow, 1527; ordained priest, 1587; MJU 1528; became associated with the jrroup of students known as the Cambridge reformers; friend of Thomas Bilney and Hugh Latimer, bat studied patristic literature, and throughout life showed great moderation in doctrine; licensed by Oranini-r to preach throughout the southern province, 1533; appointed chaplain to Anne Boleyn and dean of Stoke-byClare, 1536, where he spent much of the next ten years; elected master of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, 1544; daring the last three years of Henry V Ill's reign manfully opposed the spoliation with which the colleges generally were threatened: continued to grow rapidly in favour with the reformers, and (1552) was installed dean of Lincoln: espoused the cause of Lady Jane Grey and was deprived of his preferments by Queen Mary, after which he li ved in concealment; reluctantly accepted the archbishopric of Canterbury on the accession of Queen Elizabeth, and was consecrated at Lambeth on 17 Dec. 1559; identified himself with the great party, afterwards known as the Anglican party, which sought to establish a media via between Romanism and puritanisin; revived the powers of convocation, and with its assent revised the articles in 1562, reducing them from forty-two to thirtynine, and substantially bringing them to the form they finally mumtiMrf in 1571; occupied in publishing the Bishops Bible 1563-8, his most distinguished service to the theological studies of his day, with respect to which he informed Cecil that, besides the prefaces, he contemplated undertaking Genesis, Exodus, Matthew, Mark, and the Pauline epistles, except Romans and 1 Corinthians: involved, by the publication of his celebrated * Advertisements 1565, in a controversy with the puritans concerning vestments; during his later years made his exercise of church patronage, hitherto impartial and judicious, serve as an instrument for checking the spread of obnoxious puritan doctrines; withdrew more and more from society, being conscious of the strength of the opposing current, headed by the all-powerful Leicester, and went but seldom to court; died, 17 May 1575, and was buried in his private chapel at Lambeth. In 1648 his remains were disinterred and buried under a dunghill, but after the Restoration they were restored to their original resting-place. He was a great benefactor to his college and to the university of Cambridge, where he constructed a hundnotne new street, which he named University Street, leading from the schools to Great St. Mary's. To his efforts we are indebted for the earliest editions of QUdas, Asacr, Elfric, the Flores Historiarum Matthew Paris, and other important early chroniclers. In spite of Queen Elizabeth's dislike of clerical matrimony, he was married, and left one son. His De Antiquitate BlfflfB et PrivilegUs Ecclesise Gantuarleusls cum Arehiepiscopis ejosdem 70(1672) Is said to be the first book privately prinusi in England. The copies differed materially. A new edition appeared in 1605 and a third in 1729, edited by Samuel Drake (1686 ?-1753) Numerous tractates by him have been printed in various collections.

 * Charles Stewart Parnell Charles Stewart Parnell (1846–1891), political leader; born at Avondale, co. Wicklow; grandson of William Parnell; of Magdalene College, Cambridge; offered his services to Isaac Butt, leader of the Irish parliamentary party, 1874; M.P., co. Meath, 1876, a seat which he exchanged for Cork city, 1880; attracted attention by his extreme attitude, and won the confidence of the Fenians, which Butt had lost; from 1877 rapidly fulfilled, by his tactics of obstruction, his object of bringing discredit upon the House of Commons; his action at first disapproved by Butt, but countenanced, January 1878, at a conference in Dublin; resolved to consolidate and dominate all the scattered forces inside and outside parliament which aimed at securing legislative independence for Ireland; courted the support of the Fenians, and in December 1878, after a visit to Ameri.:l. obtained an alliance with the Clan-na-Gael, or new Fenians, who had hitherto despised parliamentary agitution, one of the conditions of the treaty being that the land qu-tion -,1,0'iM be vigorously agitated ou a basis of peasant proprietorship, to curry which i-npul.i effect the National Laud League of Ireland was formed in October 1H79 for the reduction of rack-rente and the transfer of the ownership of the hind to the occupier*; president of the Land League; elected chairman of the home-rule party iu the House of Commons, May 1880; rxertil over his parliamentary supporters a sway unpuralleliil in parliamentary annaU, mid wielded enormous influence outside the bouse; though at first disliked by the Irish clergy, was toon supported by the Irish bishops; kept together for nearly ten years a heterogeneous crowd of supporters, many o them having mutually strong antipathies; he initiated, in a speech at Bnnis, September  1880, the system of boycotting those who took the farms of evicted tenants, a move by which government in Ireland was paralysed throughout the autumn; bitterly opposed William Edward Forster's Coercion Bill early in 1881: founded, July 1881, "The Irish National Newspaper and Publishing Company which issued the Irishman and United Ireland under the editorship of William O'Brien; arrested for incendiary speeches and imprisoned in Kilmainham gaol with several of his supporters, October  1881, the Land League being declared an illegal association at the same time; gained great popularity by his imprisonment, the duration of which was marked by an increase in the number of outrages; generally known to his followers as the uncrowned king of Ireland; given the freedom of DubUn; released, 2 May 1882, soon after the accommodation with Gladstone's government known as the K ilmainham treaty had been effected, contrary to the advice of Forster, who resigned the office of Irish secretary in consequence; disavowed all sympathy with the perpetrators of the murder in Phoenix Park (6 May 1882) of Lord Frederick Charles Cavendish, the new chief secretary, and the permanent under-secretary, Thomas Henry Burke q. v.j; resumed his attitude of implacable hostility on fresh coercive legislation being announced by government; attended a national conference at Dublin, October 1882, at which the Land League was avowedly revived as the Irish National League for the purpose of attaining national self-government, landlaw reform, and the development of Irish industry; accused by Forster, February 1883, in the House of Commons of planning outrage and assassination; met the charge with a blunt denial; on the defeat of the liberal government by the Irish vote, June 1886, received overtures from the succeeding tory government, which be welcomed, as he probably desired to employ them to induce William Ewart Gladstone to outbid the tory offers; left master of the situation by the balance of parties after the general election of December; with the help of the liberal party overthrew the tory government, January 1886, which had announced its intention of introducing a bill for the suppression of the National League; on Gladstone's return to power, was seen to have converted Gladstone to his home-rule scheme; on the conservative triumph at the election (July 1886) which followed Gladstone's appeal to the country after the defeat of his bill for the establishment of an Irish parliament, made a complete change of front in his treatment of the English parties, and, instead of holding aloof from both, formed an alliance with the liberals for all parliamentary purposes, and sought rather to win than to force his wayby the ordinary rules of parliamentary warfare; attended parliament irregularly, his health being bad between 1885 and 1890; spoke rarely at public meetings in Ireland, and lost influence in consequence; charged, along with many of bis colleagues, with connivance with crime and outrage in the days of the Land League in a series of articles entitled Parnellism and Crime which appeared in The Times in the earlier months of 1887: denied in the House of Commons the authenticity of a fac-simile letter printed inThe Timespurporting to have been written by himself on 15 May 1882 in extenuation of the Phoenix Park murders; declared in the house that similar letters read in court a prupos of a libel action unsuccessfully brought against The Times in July 1888 by Mr. Frank Hugh O'Donnell were all forgeries; was ultimately vindicated, after the government constituted a special commission to inquire into all the charges brought against the Irish members by * The Times; this trial commenced October 18K8, and during its course, in February 1889, Richard Pigott, who bad sold the incriminating letters to % The Times broke down under cross-examination, and the counsel forThe Timeswithdrew from the    case the charge* founded on the letters which Pigott had  :;! -!::.:::.-.-....,  'ounce agrarian outrage; report of the trial enter*!  .i.inials, an amendment by Gladstone In the House  of Commons in reprobation of the charges against Parnell  :-.. "...-..-...:. -1  in November ih-jo by his appearance a co-respondent in a suit for divorce brought by Captain O'Sheft against his wifr. Parnriis a,iult,- r y with her being legally proved. Parnell gradually lost the support of the liberal nonconformists in consequence, Gladstone In an open tetter to Mr. John Morley declaring his continuance as leader of the Irish party undesirable. Parnell summoned the Irish party, December 1890, In committee room No. 15 at the Bouse of Commons to consider the situation, and, on refusing to put the question of his deposition to the vote, was abandoned, by the majority of the party; endeavoured to re-establish hU position, and was supported by the Fenians and more extreme home-rulers, bat had against him the influence of the Roman catholic church; spoke in public for the last time at Creggs in Galway, 27 Sept. 1891: died at Brighton of inflammation of the lungs on 6 Oct. and was buried in Glasnevin cemetery, Dublin. On 25 June 1891 he married Katherine, the divorced wife of Captain O'Sbea and the daughter of Sir John Page Wood His influence on the course of English and Irish history may be estimated by the fact that when he entered public life home-rule for Ireland was viewed by English politicians as a wild impracticable dream, while within eleven years he had induced a majority of one of the two great English political parties to treat it as an urgent neceraity.

 * ✅Samuel Parr Samuel Parr (1747–1825), pedagogue; son of a Harrow apothecary; educated at Harrow School and Emmanuel College, Cambridge; M.A. per literas regias, 1771; forced by the rapacity of his step-mother to leave Cambridge on his father's death in 1766; became first assistant at Harrow under Robert Carey Sumner; on Sumner's death (1771) took offence at not being elected to succeed him, and started a rival school at IwiMWii, which declined after the departure of the first art of boys; obtained the mastership of Colchester grammar school, 1776, which did not prosper under him; removed to Norwich as head-master of the grammar school, 1779: Mtued at Hatton in Warwickshire as perpetual curate and took in private pupils, 1785; lived there for the rest of his life, enlarging the parsonage and building a library, which finally contained over ten thousand volumes; prebendary of St. Paul's, 1783; exchanged (1789) his perpetual curacy for the rectory of Wadenhoe, but retained the parsonage and continued to serve the church at Hatton: prevented from obtaining high preferment by his strong whiggism; became conspicuous as a political writer in 1787; met Priestley at Warwick, 1790, and at once formed a friendship with him; nearly involved by this acquaintance in the Birmingham riots of 1791, the rioters being expected to attack Hatton after their outrages on Priestley and his supporters; continually involved in literary quarrels, and at different times was at variance with Richard Hurd, bishop of Worcester, with Charles Combe, and with William Godwin (1756-1836); published his Characters of Fox (a collection of articles and notes), 1809. He was regarded as the whig Johnson, but his conversation was apparently very inferior to that of his model. His mannerism and verbosity make his English writings in general unreadable. He was admittedly a fine Latin scholar, and excelled as a writer of Latin epitaphs. He knew Rogers and Moore, and met Byron. Among literary men who have warmly acknowledged his kindness to them were Landor and the first Lord Lytton. His works were collected in eight volumes in 1828.
