GOULBURN, EDWARD MEYRICK: Church of England; b. at Chelsea (a suburb of London) Feb. 11, 1818; d. at Tunbridge Wells (30 m. s.e. of London), Kent, May 3, 1897. He was educated at Eton College and at Balliol College, Oxford (B.A., 1839). From 1839 to 1846 he was fellow of Merton College, Oxford, and tutor and dean from 1843 to 1845. He was ordered deacon in 1842 and priested in 1843. He was successively perpetual curate of Holywell, Oxford (1844-50), head master of Rugby (1850-58), minister of Quebec Chapel, now the Church of the Annunciation, St. Marylebone, London (1858-59), vicar of St. John's, Paddington, London (1859-66), and dean of Norwich (1866-89). He was also chaplain to the bishop of Oxford (1847-1849), and prebendary of Brownswood in St. Paul's Cathedral and chaplain to the queen (1859-66). In theology he advanced gradually from the Evangelical to the High-church position, although he was never a ritualist. He was a strong opponent of latitudinarianism and rationalism. Of his voluminous writings the more important are: The Doctrine of the Resurrection of the Body (Bampton Lectures; London, 1851); An Introduction to the Devotional Study of Holy Scripture (1854); A Manual of Confirmation (3 parts, 1855); Thoughts on Personal Religion (2 vols., 1862); The Pursuit of Holiness (1869); The Holy Catholic Church (1873); A Commentary on the Order of the Administration of the Lord's Supper (1875); Everlasting Punishment (1880); Three Counsels of the Divine Master for the Conduct of the Spiritual Life (2 vols., 1888); and John William Burgon, late Dean of Chichester (2 vols., 1892).
