ble and Prayer-book and Lectures on Prayer may also be regarded as additions to the educational repertoire. During the years 1833-41 the Tracts for the Times were issued, and for some years after Tractarianism was active and influential in the Church and in the univer- sity. The movement reached its crisis about 1843- 45 in the withdrawal from the English communion of the author of Tract 90 — Dr. J. H. Newman — and several others. Newman had been a friend of Whately's, and had "actually conqiosed a considerable portion," and was " the original author of several pages," of Whately's famous work on iMjic "as it now stands." Yet Whate- ly did not shrink from duty at the call of friendship, but produced, as occasion seemed to demand, his quiet, lucid, logical, and pithy Cautions for the Times, and with more special reference to the material doctrines and theories involved in the hurricane of controversy with which the Church was assailed, he issued in 1841 a truly admirable work. The Kingdom of Christ De- lineated. In his Charge in 1843 he characterizes the prevailing opinions on subscription in a non-natural sense as " dangerous, disgraceful, and ruinous." Cog- nate topics occupy his charge for 1844, entitled Thoughts on Church Government ; for 1846, on The Danger of Divisions within the Church ; for 18.^1, on Protective Measures on Behalf of the Established Church. The Maynooth question is reviewed in Reflections on a, Grant to a Roman Catholic Seiirinary, a charge delivered in 1845. On the failure of the potato crop in Ireland, he issued an A ddress to the Clergy and Other Members of the Established Church on the Use and Abuse of the Pres- ent Occasion for the Exercise of Benevolence ; and the same topic occujiied him in 1848, when he gave a charge on The Right Use of National Aftictions. The Tracta- rian doctrine of regeneration called from him in 1850 a charge on Infant Baptism; and every subsequent year found him holding himself abreast of the tide of specu- lative or practical difficulty, and able to teach his clergy to "buffet it aside with hearts of controversy." After the conference on Christian union, held at Liverpool in October, 1845, which resulted in the establishment of the Evangelical Alliance, Whately, early in 1846, issued Thoughts on the Proposed Evangelical Alliance, in which he expressed a fear that it would become an organized intolerance, or occasion a surrender of truth for the mere sake of an outward unity; and "condemned as schismatical" the setting-up, by persons engaged in the ministrv, of " extraneous combinations independently of their own Church authorities," or the becoming members of those combinations when set up. He thus continued active in literature and public matters of importance until his death, which occurred at Dublin, Oct. 8, 1863.
Whately's works not already noticed are chiefly the following : Introductory Lessojis on the Studies of St. Paulas Epistles (1849): — Scripture Revelations concern- ing Good and Evil Angels (1851): — English Synonyms ( eod. ) : — Bacon^s Essays, with A nnotulions ( 1856 ) : — Lectures on Some of the Parables (1859): — Lectures on Prayer (1860) : — Thoughts on the Proposed Revision of the Liturgy (eod.) : — A General Vinv of the Rise, Prog- ress,and Corruptions of Christianity (eod.) : — and Mis- cellaneous Lectures and Reviews (1861). Since his death two volimies of Remains have appeared. His Life and Correspondence (1866,2 vols.) lias been published by his daughter. Miss E. Jane Whatelj'. See also 3Iemoirs (1864), by William J.
