ntial doctrines of the Berkeleian philosophy, and in them is also revealed a personality of rare purity and fascination. TRELAWNY, EDWARD JOHN (1792-1881).--Biographer, entered the navy, from which, however, he deserted, after which he wandered about in the East and on the Continent. In Switzerland he met Byron and Shelley, and was living in close friendship with the latter when he was drowned, and was one of the witnesses at the cremation of his remains. He took part in the Greek war of independence, and _m._ the sister of one of the insurgent chiefs. After various adventures in America he settled in London, where he was a distinguished figure in society, and enjoyed the reputation of a picturesque, but somewhat imaginative, conversationalist. He wrote _The Adventures of a Younger Son_ (1831), a work of striking distinction, and the intensely interesting _Records of Shelley, Byron, and the Author_ (1858). The last survivor of that brilliant group, he was buried by the side of Shelley. TRENCH, RICHARD CHENEVIX (1807-1886).--Poet and theologian, _b._ in Dublin, and _ed._ at Harrow and Camb., took orders, and after serving various country parishes, became in 1847 Prof. of Theology in King's Coll., London, in 1856 Dean of Westminster, and in 1864 Archbishop of Dublin. As Primate of the Irish Church at its disestablishment, he rendered valuable service at that time of trial. In theology his best known works are his _Hulsean Lectures_, _Notes on the Parables_, and _Notes on the Miracles_. His philological writings, _English Past and Present_ and _Select Glossary of English Words_ are extremely interesting and suggestive, though now to some extent superseded. His _Sacred Latin Poetry_ is a valuable collection of mediaeval Church hymns. He also wrote sonnets, elegies, and lyrics, in the first of which he was specially successful, besides longer poems, _Justin Martyr_ and _Sabbation_. TREVISA, JOHN of (1326-1412).--Translator, a Cornishman, _ed._ at Oxf., was Vicar of Berkeley, Gloucestershire, and chaplain to the 4th Lord Berkeley, and Canon of Westbury. He translated for his patron the _Polychronicon_ of Ranulf Higden, adding remarks of his own, and prefacing it with a _Dialogue on Translation between a Lord and a Clerk_. He likewise made various other translations. TROLLOPE, ANTHONY (1815-1882).--Novelist, _s._ of Thomas Anthony T., a barrister who ruined himself by speculation, and of Frances T. (_q.v._), a w
