VII. A uthorities. — Smith's work on the Voyage and Shijrwreck of St. Paul (Lond. 1848, 1856) is the standard work on ancient ships, and it contains a complete list of previous books on the sidjject. Reference, however, may be made to the memoranda of admiral Penrose, in- corporated in Conybeare and Howson, Life and Epistles of ISt. Paul (Lond. 1856, 2d ed.), ch. xxvii, notes.

Shipherd, Fayette, a Congregational minister, was born in Granville, N. Y., Aug. 18, 1797. He was prepared for college at the Granville and Cambridge academies. He entered Middlebury College in 1819, remaining but one year, on account of ill-health, which prevented the completion of his course. He next stud- ied theology with the Rev. William Chester. D.D., of Saratoga, and was ordained at Pawlet, Vt., Dec. 5, 1826, as colleague of Rev. John Griswold. From this pastor- ate he was dismissed Oct. 27, 1830. Choosing for a time the missionary work, he was sent, first to Ver- mont in 1830, and to New York in 1831, remaining in this field until he received a call to become a col- league of Dr. Beman, at Troy, N. Y. Here he remained one year, and then became pastor of Bethel Free Church, at the same place, and remained two years, at which time he received and accepted a call to the pas- torate of the Church at Walton, N. Y. At this place he was installed April 29, 1835, and after remaining in charge three years was dismissed, to again take charge of the Bethel Ciiurch of Troy, which he contin- ued to supply from 1838 to 1841. He organized the Congregational Free Church at Troy, Feb. 16, 1842, and remained there, preaching with success, until 1849, at which time the pastorate was dissolved. In 1850 he was acting pastor at Stephentown, also at Nassau from 1851 to 1853. He then, from 1853 to 1855, was agent, in Watertown and vicinity, of Carson League, at the same time supplying churches at Perch River, Stone Mills, Orleans, P^our Corners, and La Fargeville. He was acting pastor at Pulaski from 1855 to 1858; also, without charge, filled the pastorate at Oberlin, O., from 1858 to 1873, preaching often, and supplying at Well- ington from 1863 to 1865, and at Pittsfield from 1866 to 1868. In 1873 he removed to Walton, N. Y., and to Sidney Plains in 1877. In 1876 he published a pam- phlet entitled What May Women Do ? At length, be-

coming gradually feeble, he died, Aug. 14, 1878. (W. P. S.)

Shipley, Jonathan, a learned English prelate, was born about 1714. His education was liberal, and at a proper age he entered Christ Church, Oxford. In April, 1738, he took his degree of Master of Arts, entered holy orders, and obtained a living; in 1743 he was in- stalled a prebendary in the Cathedral Church of Win- chester, and in March, 1745, was appointed chaplain to the duke of Cumberland. He received the degree of Doctor of Divinity Oct, 14, 1748; became canon of Christ Church, Oxford, Jan. 28, 1749; and was made dean of Winchester in 1760, being permitted, by dis* pensation, to retain the livings of Silchester and Chil- bolton. His last preferment took place in 1769, when he was promoted to the bishopric of St. Asaph, in which he remained until his death, in Bolton Row, Piccadilly, Dec. 9, 1788.
