Abp. Richard Chenevix Trench (1807-1886) was an Anglican archbishop and poet. While incumbent of Curdridge Chapel near Bishop s Waltham in Hampshire, he published (1835) The Story of Justin Martyr and Other Poems, which was favourably received, and was followed in 1838 by Sabbation, Honor Neale, and Other Poems, and in 1842 by Poems from Eastern Sources. In 1851 he established his fame as a philologist by The Study of Words, originally delivered as lectures to the pupils of the Diocesan Training School, Winchester. His purpose, as stated by himself, was to show that in words, even taken singly, there are boundless stores of moral and historic truth, and no less of passion and imagination laid up. It was followed by two little volumes of similar character-English Past and Present (1855) and A Select Glossary of English Words (1859). All have gone through numerous editions and have contributed much to promote the historical study of the English tongue. In 1856 Trench became Dean of Westminster, and then in 1864 he was advanced to the senior but less suitable post of Archbishop of Dublin.
