# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Atkins, Richard

​ATKINS, RICHARD (1559?–1581), martyr, was born at Ross in Herefordshire. According to his own confession ‘till he was nineteen years old he was a catholic, after that a protestant,’ but whether for another nineteen years or only three is not quite clear from the narrative. About Midsummer 1581 we find him at Rome armed with his ‘litle new testament turned out of Beza’ into English, and an unbounded faith in his mission against the church, the pope, and the city of Rome. After having addressed himself in an unknown tongue to an audience in St. Peter's, who thought him ‘distract of his wit,’ he was confronted with some of his fellow-countrymen in the English college. For his language towards them on the ‘misorder of their lives,’ and his denunciations against the church, he was imprisoned for a short time by the Inquisition. Upon his release he proceeded to a series of acts that finally brought him to torture and the stake. He was charged with exclaiming against the catholic religion and the pope in public places of resort, and with an act of sacrilege in attempting to throw down the sacrament while being carried through the streets by a priest. It was also stated that a few days later, he had gone to St. Peter's once again, while divers gentlemen and others were hearing mass, he stepped forward to the altar ‘and threw down the chalice with the wine,’ and strove to pull the cake out of the priest's hand before its consecration. Being committed to prison a second time and examined, his reply was ‘that he came purposely to rebuke the pope's wickedness and their idolatry.’ After many exhortations by his own country ​men to recant, but in vain, he was brought to the stake with many tortures and burned before St. Peter's, 2 Aug. 1581.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Atkinson, Joseph

​ATKINSON, JOSEPH (1743–1818), dramatist, was born in Ireland, and served in the army until he obtained a captain's commission. In 1785 he produced a comedy in Dublin, the ‘Mutual Deception,’ which, in the following year, was altered by Colman, the serious scenes being omitted, and, under the title of ‘Tit for Tat,’ presented at the Haymarket. Atkinson professed himself indebted to an Italian original for the comic portion of his play, which was found closely to resemble the earlier comedies of the ‘Double Deceit’ and ‘Love's Metamorphosis,’ first performed in 1735 and 1776 respectively. In 1786 Atkinson produced in Dublin ‘A Match for a Widow, or the Frolics of Fancy,’ an opera in three acts, the music by Dibdin, founded upon a French comedy which Mrs. Inchbald had previously converted into the English play of the ‘Widow's Vow,’ and of which Miss Sheridan had availed herself in writing her farce of the ‘Ambiguous Lover.’ In 1800 Captain Atkinson produced at the Cork Street Theatre a comic opera called ‘Love in a Blaze,’ borrowed from a French play, which had done duty in an English form as ‘Gallic Gratitude’ at Covent Garden in 1779. The music to ‘Love in a Blaze’ was composed by Dr. (afterwards Sir) John Stevenson, to whose assistance the production is said to have been indebted for the success it obtained.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Atkinson, Paul

​ATKINSON, PAUL (1656–1729), Franciscan friar, was a Yorkshireman by birth, and after holding several important offices in his order, including that of definitor of the English province, was infamously betrayed to the officers of the law by his maidservant for a reward of 100l. under the penal statute of 11 and 12 William III. He was apprehended in London in 1698, and condemned, on account of his priestly character, to perpetual imprisonment, which he underwent in Hurst Castle in Hampshire, where he lived with cheerful composure, beloved and respected by the keeper of the castle and the whole neighbourhood as an ill-fated amiable man. The governor at one time allowed him the privilege of walking out beyond the walls of his prison until some bigots complained of this indulgence being granted, and Father Atkinson voluntarily confined himself ever afterwards to his own miserable apartment, wherein, after thirty years of strict incarceration, he died 15 Oct. 1729. He was buried at St. James's, Winchester, where the following epitaph was placed over his grave:— ‘H. S. E. R. P. Paulus Atkinson, Franciscanus, qui 15 Oct. 1729 ætat. 74 in castro de Hurst vitam finivit, postquam ibidem 30 peregerat annos. R. I. P.’
His portrait has been engraved.

​ATKINS, SAMUEL (fl. 1787–1808), marine painter, contributed to the Royal Academy between 1787 and 1796. From 1796 to 1804 he was in the East Indies, when he returned to England, and continued to exhibit until 1808. He worked in oil and water colour. The water-colour collections of South Kensington and the British Museum have each an example of his work. It is rather early in manner, low in tone, quiet, and truthful. A picture of ‘Shakespeare's Cliff, Dover,’ has been engraved after him by R. and D. Havell. Nagler attributes to this Samuel Atkins the originals of two engravings of sea-subjects after ‘— Atkins:’ ‘Ships in Sight of Harbour,’ engraved in aquatint by H. Merke; and ‘A Sea Piece,’ by F. Janinet. A water-colour drawing also, ‘Seascape with Ships,’ he gives to this painter.

1904 Errata appended.
​ATKINS, WILLIAM (1601–1681), a Jesuit, was born in Cambridgeshire in 1601. He became a secular priest, and was sent on the English mission in 1631. Four years later he entered the Society of Jesus. In 1653 he was chosen rector of the ‘College of St. Aloysius,’ which at that period comprised the counties of Lancaster and Stafford. Father Atkins was one of the most remarkable of the victims of Titus Oates's plot. In 1679 he was living at Wolverhampton, being almost an octogenarian, and for six years he had been completely paralysed, bedridden, and nearly speechless. Nevertheless he was charged with high treason in inciting the people to rebellion. The pursuivants dragged him from his bed, and, forcing him into a most incommodious vehicle, conveyed him to Stafford gaol, eleven miles distant. He was tried at the assizes before Lord Chief Justice Scroggs, 13 Aug. 1679, and condemned to death on account of his sacerdotal character. The sentence was not, however, carried out, and the aged ecclesiastic was allowed to languish in Stafford gaol, where he died, 17 March, 1681.

​ATKINSON, MILES (1741–1811), divine, second son of the Rev. Christopher Atkinson, rector of Thorp Arch, Yorkshire, was born at Ledsham 28 Sept. 1741, and educated at Peterhouse, Cambridge (B.A. 1763). He became curate of the parish church of Leeds; head-master of the school of Drighlington, near Leeds (1764–70); lecturer of the parish church of Leeds, 1769; ​vicar of Kippax, near Leeds, 1783; minister of St. Paul's Church, Leeds, 1793, which he founded at a cost of nearly 10,000l.; and died 6 Feb. 1811. He published several pulpit discourses, and a collection of his ‘Practical Sermons’ was published at London in two volumes, 1812. In Whitaker's ‘Loidis and Elmete’ there is a fine portrait of him, engraved by W. Holl from a painting by J. Russell, R.A.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Blunt, John Henry

​BLUNT, JOHN HENRY, D.D. (1823–1884), ecclesiastical historian and theological writer, was born at Chelsea on 25 Aug. 1823, where he was educated in a private school. For some years after leaving school he was engaged in the business of a manufacturing chemist; but in 1850 he abandoned that pursuit and entered University College, Durham, with the object of taking holy orders in the church of England. In 1852 he became licentiate in theology, was ordained deacon in 1852, and priest in 1855. In 1855 he became an M.A. of Durham. After filling a number ​of curacies he was appointed in 1868 vicar of Kennington, near Oxford, by the warden and fellows of All Souls' College. In 1873 he was presented by Mr. Gladstone with the crown living of Beverston in Gloucestershire, which he retained until his death. In June 1882 his university made him a doctor of divinity. He died rather suddenly in London on 11 April 1884 (Good Friday), and was buried in Battersea cemetery.
In his earlier years Blunt was a constant contributor to church reviews and magazines, and the author of many pamphlets and sermons. In 1855 his first volume on the 'Atonement' was published. He afterwards became a voluminous writer in the fields of theology and ecclesiastical history. His theological dictionaries collect much valuable matter in a convenient form. His 'Annotated Book of Common Prayer' is equally useful. His 'History of the English Reformation' is a solid and careful study of a critical period, and, though perhaps written from a high-church rather than a purely historical standpoint, is generally accurate and thorough. Blunt was a man of great mental and physical energy, and his close application to literary work in all probability hastened his death. The following list includes the more important works of which he was either sole author or editor:
* 'The Atonement,' 1855.
* 'Three Essays on the Reformation,' 1860.
* 'Miscellaneous Sermons,' 1860.
* 'Directorium Pastorale,' 1864.
* 'Key to the Bible,' 1865.
* 'Household Theology,' 1865.
* 'Annotated Book of Common Prayer,' 1866; revised and enlarged, 1884.
* 'Sacramental Ordinances,' 1867.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Blundeville, Thomas de (d.1236)

​BLUNDEVILLE or BLUNVILLE, THOMAS de (d. 1236), bishop of Norwich. Among the various spellings of this bishop's name, the form used in the Dunstable Annals (Ann. Monast. iii. 100), Thomas de Flamvilla, is the strangest. Bishop Thomas was sprung from a family of Nortblk gentry who appear to have held estates in the county as early as the close of the twelfth century, and who continued to be considerable landowners for at least three hundred years. He was the son of Robert de Blunville of Newton; Flotman, Norfolk, and younger brother of William de Blunville, constable of Corfe Castle during the reign of King John. He is described as the nepnew of Hubert de Burgh great justiciary. He commenced his career as a clerk in the exchequer, and gradually became a personage of some influence. In the Excerpta from the Fine Rolls of the reign of Henry III there are two or three notices of him, all showing that he made use of his opportunities to enrich himself. When Pandulf died in 1226, Blunville succeeded him in the bishopric of Norwich, helped thereto, says Matthew Parus by the influence of Hubert de Burgh (Chron. Majora, iii. 121). He was consecrated at Westminster on 20 Dec. 1226. In that same year St. Francis of Assisi had died, and the Franciscans had settled in Lynn, Yarmouth, and Norwich. They had been leceived with great enthusiasm, and when the bishop came to his diocese he found the friars already established there, and seems to have befriended them. Little is known of his episcopate. He is mentioned as dedicating an altar at Dunstable in 1231. He robbed two or three benefices in his diocese of their tithes to enrich the priory at Norwich; he bestowed certain liberties upon his town of Lynn, whereby he gained popularity at no great sacrifice; he had a long-standing quarrel with the priories of Binham and Wymondham — two cells of the great abbey of St. Albans — and compelled the priors of both houses to go in person to Rome and prosecute their appeal. When, in 1232, Hubert de Burgh was fleeing from the pursuit of Henry III and his emissaries, he took refuge with his nephew, Bishop Thomas, at his manor of Terling, in Essex, and it was from the chapel of that manor that he was compelled to deliver himself up to his pursuers at last. All records of the diocese of Norwich during his episcopate have perished. He died on 16 Aug. 1236.

June 1507, and was elected probationary fellow of Merton in 1509, having the character of 'an excellent disputant in philosophy.' He proceeded in arts, and applied himself to the study of medicine. He came to London, and practised in 1525, becoming a member of the College of Physicians. Being an astronomer as well as a physician, he left certain 'astronomical tables' at Merton, which have disappeared long ago.

​BLYTHE, GEOFFREY, LL.D. (d. 1542), divine, is supposed to have been a nephew of Geoffrey Blythe, bishop of Lichfield and Coventry [q. v.]. He was educated at Eton, and elected thence to King's College, Cambridge, in 1515 (B.A. 1520–1; M.A. 1523). He became a prebendary of Lichfield in 1520, and was appointed master of King's Hall, Cambridge, in 1528, in which year he occurs as vicar of Chesterton, Cambridgeshire. In 1529 he commenced LL.D., and his grace for that degree states that he had studied at Louvain. He held the archdeaconry of Stafford for a few days in 1530, and on 7 June in that year he was admitted treasurer of the church of Lichfield, with which he held the precentorship. Blythe was one of the divines who preached at Cambridge against Hugh Latimer. He was buried at All Saints', Cambridge, on 8 March 1541–2.
