Richard Whately

Richard Whately (1787-1863) was an English archbishop of Dublin, born in London. He studied at Oriel College, Oxford, of which he became a Fellow, and had Arnold, Keble, Newman, Pusey, and other eminent men as contemporaries. He was a man of liberal views and sympathies, and much regarded for his sagacity and his skill in dialectics. His post as archbishop was no enviable one. He is best known by his "Logic," for a time the standard work of the subject. He opposed the Tractarian movement, but was too latitudinarian for the evangelical party.
