Hurd, Richard, D.D., an eminent English prelate, was born at Congreve, Staffordshire, in 1720. He was admitted at Emanuel College, Cambridge, in 1733. In 1750, In- recommendation of his friend, bishop AVarbur- ton ((1. v.), he became one of the Whitehall preachers, and in 1757 rector of Thiu-caston. He aftcnvards be- came successively rector of Follvton, Yorkshire, in 1762, preacher of Lincohi's Inn in 1765, archdeacon of Glouces- ter in 1767, and finally bishop of Lichfield and Coven- try in 1775, whence he was translated to Worcester in 1781. In 1783 he was offered the archbishopric of Can- terbury, which he declined. He died in 1808. His Serni'ins (5 vols. 8vo), distinguished by elegant sim- plicity of style, perspicuity of method, and acuteness of elucidation, are to be found, with his other miscellane- ous Avritings, in his Works (London, 1811, 8 vols. 8vo). His most important contribution to theology is his In- troduciion to the Studi/ of the Prophecies (1772, 8vo; 1788, 2 vols. 8vo; 1839, edited by Bickersteth, 12mo). This was the first of the " Warburtonian Lectures." Notwithstanding the polemical cast of some of these sermons, the clear exposition of the general principles
of prophecy and of the claims which this portion of tlie sacrod Scriptiu-es has on the serious and uni)rciu(liced aften.tion of thoughtful readers, conveyed in ptrspi. nous and even elegant language, has secured a large amount of ])oi)ularity for the work even up to recent times (Kitto, Jillj. 'Ci/clop. ii, 343). He also eilited The Works of WarbiirtoH (1788, 7 vols.), and published a IJfe of Wurburton (Lond. 1794, 4to).

" His remarks on the various passages in which it is found are, to say the least, very ingenious." He also wrote Twelve Disserta- tions on the Nature and Occasion of Psalm and Prophecy (ibid. 1800).— Kitto, Bib. Cycl. ii, 343 ; Hook, Eccl. Biogr. vi, 227 sq. ; Allibone, Diet, of A uthors, i, 925.
