(commonly called the Wonderful Robert Walker), a minister of the English Church, was born at Seathwaite, England, in 1709. By his own industry he qualified himself for holy orders, was ordained, and appointed curate of Seathwaite with a salary of five pounds per annum. This, however, was afterwards increased, so that by rigid economy he was' able to maintain his family, and at his death in 1802 leave two thousand pounds. See his Life by Wordsworth.
