In 1806 he was elected fellow of his alma mater; in 1807 he was appointed vicar at Blanford Forum, Dorsetshire; in 1821, at Godstone; in 1829, archdeacon; and in 1831, canon of Winchester. In 1847 he was translated to the archdeaconate of Surrey, which position he resigned in 1860 on account of his age. He died January 15,1864. He was an extensive writer, and many of his works have been published. A complete list of them is given in Darling's Cyclop. Bibl. 1, 1498-99.
