Sinossi

Excerpt from The General Biographical Dictionary, Vol. 2: Containing an Historical and Critical Account of the Lives and Writings of the Most Eminent Persons in Every Nation; Particularly the British and Irish; From the Earliest Accounts to the Present Time

Soon after the restoration, Mr. Allestry was made a os non of Christ-church; at the same time he undertook one of the lectu'reships of the city of Oxfhrd, but never received any part of the salary; for he ordered it to be distributed amongst the poor. In October 1660, he took the degree of D. D. And was appointed one of the king's chaplains in ordinary, and in Sept. 1663, regius professor of divinity, in which chair he sat seventeen years, and acquitted himself with honour. In 1665 he was appointed provost'of Eton col lege, where he raised the school, which he found in a low condition, to an uncommon pitch of reputation. The west side of the outward quadrangle of that college was built from the ground at his expense. The excellent Dr. Hammond, Who was his intimate friend, left him his valuable library, which he bequeathed himself to his successors in the divinity chair. His eagerness for study, and his intention of mind while he was employed in it was so great, that it impaired his constitution, and hastened his death. In 1680, find ing his health and sight much weakened, he-resigned his professorship of divinity to Dr. Jane. And now the decay of his constitution terminating in a dropsy, he removed to London, to have the advice of physicians; but medicines proving ineffectual, he died January 27th, 1680; and was buried in Eton chapel, where a marble monument, with an elegant Latin inscription, was erected to his memory.
