Ogden, John W., a Presbyterian minister, was bom near Pardstown, Ky., Dec. 24, 1793. His educa- tion was obtained under the immediate superintendence of his father. During the war of 1812 with Great Brit- ain he was in the army untler General Jackson. On leaving the army he was licensed to preach, and he was ordained in 1817 as an evangelist. In 1844 he changed his Church relation bj- joining the Presbytery of Nash- ville, and soon after entered upon the work of a mission- ary, under a commission from the Board of Domestic Missions. He continued to labor thus, preaching from
place to place, until called to his rest, April 5, 1858. Mr. Ogden was a man of large frame and vigorous constitu- tion ; as a minister, he ever labored faithfully and zealouslv. See Wilson, Presh. Hist. Almanac, 1860, p. 77, (J.'L.S.)
Ogden, Samuel, D.D., an English divine of note, was bom at Manchester in 1716, and was educated at the free school there. In 1733 he was admitted to King's College, Cambridge ; and removed to St. John's in 1736, where in the following year he took the de- gree of B.A., and in 1739 was elected fellow. He was ordained deacon at Chester in 1740. In 1741 he took his degree of M.A., and shortly after was ordained to the ministry by the bishop of Lincoln. In 1744 he was elected master of the free school at Halifax, in Yorkshire. In 1753 he resigned the position, and went to reside at Cambridge. The chancellor of the uni- versity, the duke of Newcastle, Avho was present at the exercise Ogden performed for the degree of D.D., w'as so much satisfied with it that he soon after pre- sented him with the vicarage of Damesham, in Wilt- shire, which was tenable with his fellowship. In 1764 he was appointed Woodwardian professor at Cambridge University, and in June, 1766, was presented also with the rectorship of Lawford, in Essex, and in the follow- ing month with that of Stansfield. During the lat- ter part of his life Dr. Ogden labored under much ill- health. About a year before he died he was seized with a paralytic fit as he was stepping into his coach, and was judged to be in immediate and extreme danger. The cheerfulness with which he sustained this shock, and the indifference with which he gave the necessary orders in the event of his dissolution, that seemed to be then so near, was such as could only be ascribed to a mind properlv resigned to the disposals of Provi- dence, and full of the hopes of future happiness. His death occurred IMarch 24, 1778. He published a num- ber oi' Sermons (17 b8-l777) ; and after his death two ad- ditional volumes of sermons, treating of Prayer, the Christian Faith, the Ten Commandments, etc., were brought out, together with a life of the Doctor, under the editorship of bishop Hallifax (1780, 2 vols. cr. 8vo; 5th ed. 1814, 8vo). Bickersteth says that these sermons are " terse and forcible, but deficient in evangelical state- ment" (^Christian Studfnis^ Assistant, s. v.). See Hook, Eccles. Biogr. s. v. (J. H. W.)
Ogden, Thomas Spencer, a Presbyterian min- ister and missionary, was the son of the Rev. Benjamin Ogden, and was born in Pennington, N. J., in 1832. He graduated at the University of Michigan in 1853 ; then passed through the theological course of Princeton. On Aug. 18, 1857, he was ordained in New Brunswick, N. J., as a missionary to Africa ; sailed Oct. 6, 1857, for Corisco Island, where he arrived Jan. 14, 1858. He entered upon his work with ardor, but fell ill of fever in June, 1859, and again in March, 1860. Recovering, he re- sumed his labors, entered on a translation of Luke, and taught school, besides his regular duties. He fell at his post, May 12, 1861. — Wilson, Presb. Hist. Almanac, 1862, p. 114.
Ogden, ITzal, D.D., an American divine, was born at Newark (one authority has it Newton, Sussex Co.), N. J., about 1744. He studied to become a minister of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and, having gone to England, received both deacon's and priest's orders from the bishop of London, Sept. 21, 1773. Having returned to this comitry, he labored as a missionary chiefly in Sussex County, N. J., but in 1788 finally became rector of Trinity Pa'rish in Newark. From 1799 to 1805 Dr. Ogdcn's relations to the Protestant Episcopal Cluirch were of a somewhat equivocal character, and a contro- versy ensued which resulted in his joining the Presby- terian body. After this he had no stated charge, but preached occasionally in different places as he found the opportunity. He died Nov. 4, 1822. Among his publi- cations we notice.

Ogee or Ogyve is a term used in architecture, both ecclesiastic and secular, to designate a moulding formed by the combination of a round and hollow, part being concave and part convex. Ogees are extensively used" in the classical style of architecture, also in the Gothic, but they are, quite as often as not, used with the hoUow part upwards, and in such cases might in strictness be called ocpna recta ; they are almost inva- riably quirked : in Norman work they are very rarely
