# Men of Kent and Kentishmen/John Boys, Divine

also known as John Bois
Layout 2
John Boys,
DIVINE,
Another member of the same family, being nephew of Sir John Boys, of Bonnington, was born in 1571. He was educated at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, from whence he was elected Fellow of Clare Hall. His uncle presented him to the livings of Betteshanger and Tilmanstone, near Deal, and Archbishop Whitgift collated him to the mastership of Eastbridge Hospital, at Canterbury. He there became distinguished as a theologian and "painful" preacher; and was accordingly promoted by James I. to the Deanery of Canterbury, in 1619. This dignity, however, he did not long enjoy, and he died suddenly Sept. 26th, 1625.
His chief work was his "Postils," or an Exposition upon the Festivals, Epistles, and Gospels in the English Liturgy. He was a violent opponent of popery, his hatred of which sometimes led him to the borders of profanity, and he was the author of a parody on the Lord's Prayer, beginning—Papa noster qui es Romæ.
[An edition of his works was published in 1622, and a Notice of his life appeared in 1631, attached to his "Remains" See also "Fuller's Worthies" and Wood's "Athenæ," by Bliss.]
# Men of Kent and Kentishmen/John Boys, of Betshanger

Layout 2
John Boys,
OF BETSHANGER,
Was a farmer, and wrote a treatise on "The Agriculture of Kent," published in 1796, to which has been accorded the palm amongst County reports of agriculture, **for soundness of judgment and enlightened practical views." He died 16th Dec., 1824.

# Men of Kent and Kentishmen/John Carter

Layout 2
John Carter,
DIVINE,
Was born at Wickham in 1554, and educated at Clare Hall, Cambridge. After ordination he became Vicar of Bramford, Suffolk, then of Belstead. He died 21st February, 1634. His religious views were those of the Puritans, but he was a man not only of piety, but of humour and wit. His life was written by his son, and published in 1653. He was the author of an " Exposition of the Sermon on the Mount," published in 1627.
[See "Neale's History of the Puritans," "Clarke's Lives," and the Biography by his son,"]
# Men of Kent and Kentishmen/James Hales

Layout 2
James Hales,
JUDGE,
Was born at Canterbury about the year 1470. He belonged to a family several of whose members obtained distinction in the Law. His father, John Hales, was one of the Barons of the Exchequer in the time of Henry VIII. James studied Law at Gray's Inn. In 1544 he became one of the King's Sergeants, and obtained a grant of the Manor of Clavertigh with the Monken Lands in Eleham. He was knighted by Edward VI, and advanced to the Bench of Common Pleas. In this capacity he sat in the court which tried Bishop Gardiner, a circumstance which the latter remembered in the day of his power; for when Chancellor to Mary he refused to administer the oath to Hales, until he made his purgation of heresy. This being refused, the judge was thrown into prison. By extraordinary pressure he was brought to recant, but this step so preyed upon his mind that in a fit of despondency he is said to have drowned himself in the river at Canterbury, 1655.

John Clayton,
BOTANIST,
Was born in Kent in 1693, but in what part is uncertain. In 1705 he went to Virginia, where his father was Attorney-General. There he practised physic, and was indefatigable in botanical researches. He sent observations on the natural history of Virginia to the Royal Society, which were published in the "Philosophical Transactions" (vols, xvii, xviii, and xli). He forwarded a collection of dried plants to Gronovius, who, in ​conjunction with Linnæus, described them in their treatise on Flora Virginica. Gronovius affixed the collector's name to a genus of plants, Claytonia. He died in 1773.

# Men of Kent and Kentishmen/James Wolfe

Layout 2
James Wolfe,
GENERAL,
The famous Conqueror of Canada, was born at Westerham, in the Rectory House, in 1726. His father, James Wolfe, was an officer, who had served in Germany and in Scotland against the Young Pretender. He entered the army at the age of fifteen, and his brilliant services at Lafeldt, at Minden, and at Lomsbourgh attracted the attention of the Earl of Chatham, who appointed him, though only thirty-two years, to command the expedition fitting out in 1758, against Quebec. His capture of that place, and his glorious death in the hour of victory (September 13th, 1759) are well known. His body was brought to England, and buried by the side of his father's at Greenwich.

# Men of Kent and Kentishmen/Jeffrey Amherst

Layout 2
Jeffrey Amherst,
Baron Amherst, Field Marshal,
Was born at Riverhead, 29th January, 1717. The Duke ​of Dorset, his father's neighbour, took him when a boy into his service as a page, and procured him in 1731 an ensigncy in the Guards. By the same patron's influence he became aide-de-camp to General Ligonier, and served with distinction under that General at Dettingen and Fontenoy, and subsequently under the Duke of Cumberland. He then attracted the notice of Pitt, who in 1758 placed him in command of the expedition to North America, which ended so gloriously for the British arms in the downfall of Montreal in 1760. In the same year he was appointed Governor-General of British North America, and in 1761 received the thanks of Parliament. He was subsequently made Governor of Virginia, which position, however, he resigned at the instance of the king. He was then appointed Governor of Guernsey, and in 1772 a privy councillor, and commander-in-chief of the forces. In this capacity he was the chief adviser of the Government during the American war. In 1780 he was instrumental in suppressing the Gordon Riots. In 1787 he was created Lord Amherst, and in 1796 a Field Marshal. He did not long survive this last honour, and died at his seat Montreal on 3rd August, 1797. There is no published biography of Lord Amherst, but fair notices of him may be found in biographical dictionaries and encyclopaedias; and an account of his campaigns in the histories of his time.

John B. Gough,
TEMPERANCE LECTURER,
Was born at Sandgate, August 22, 1817. In 1829 he emigrated to New York, where he learned the trade of a bookbinder, and fell into intemperate habits. In 1842 he took the pledge of abstinence, and soon after began to advocate the principle. His fame as a lecturer soon spread through the United States, reached England, and caused him to be invited by the London Temperance League to visit this country. This he did twice, in 1853 and 1857. and lectured with great success. Later in life he began to discourse on other topics, and his addresses were attended with such success that he amassed a fortune, and built an elegant residence at Worcester, Massachusetts. In 1846 he published his "Autobiography," (q. v.), and a volume of "Orations" in 1854. He died in 1886 at Gravesend.
# Men of Kent and Kentishmen/John Bannister

John Bannister,
Comedian,
Was born at Deptford 12th May, 1760. He entered as a student at the Royal Academy, but subsequently adopted his father's profession of the stage. His first appearance took place at the Haymarket Theatre on 27th August, 1778. He subsequently transferred himself to Drury Lane and Covent Garden. His first creation of importance was the part of Don Whiskerandos in the "Critic," at Drury Lane, 29th October, 1779. By the year 1787 his professional character was established. The parts of Sir Anthony Absolute, Sir Fretful Plagiary, Tony Lambkin, Bob Acres, and Dr. Pangloss were some which he particularly made his own. He died in Cower Street, 7th November, 1836, and was buried, with all professional honours, beside his father, in St. Martin's-in-the-Fields. There is a portrait of him in the Garrick Club, by Russell, R.A. His memoirs have been published by John Adolphus, 2 vols., 1838, (q. v.) See also "Genest's English Stage," etc.

John Kemp,
CARDINAL,
"Grandchild to Sir John Kemp, nephew to Sir Roger Kemp, both Knights, was born," says Fuller "at Wye." He was educated at Merton College, Oxford, and was successively Bishop of Rochester, Chichester and London, and Archbishop of York and Canterbury. He became a Cardinal with the title of St. Balbine, and then of St. Lupine at Rome, so that his preferments, remarks Fuller, may be comprehended in the following verse made by Thomas Kemp, his kinsman. Bishop of London:—
Bis Primas, ter Presul orat, bis cardine functus.
In addition to this he was twice Lord Chancellor of England. He died 22nd March, 1453.

John Langdon,
BISHOP OF ROCHESTER,
Was a native of Kent. He was educated at Oxford, "where, having commenced Bachelor of Divinity in 1400, he soon became celebrated for his learning, and wrote a chronicle of English history." He was afterwards sub-prior of Christ Church, Canterbury, and Keeper of Canterbury College, in Oxford, whence he was advanced to the See of Rochester, Nov. 17th, 1421. In the 10th year of Henry VI. he was sent Ambassador to France and afterwards to the Council of Basil. He died in that City. His body was brought to England, and buried in the Charterhouse, London. It is stated that he was "a great benefactor to the new bridge at Rochester," but is said to have received his See from the Pope for the active ​part he took in opposition to the Lollards under Archbishop Arundel. He died in 1434.

John Lily,
DRAMATIST,
Or Lylly, was born in the Weald about 1553, and educated at Oxford. "His genie," says Wood, "being naturally bent to the pleasant paths of poetry did, in a manner, neglect academical studies, yet not so much that he took his degrees in arts." On leaving the University he became attached to the Court of Elizabeth, where he acquired a reputation as a rare poet, witty, comical, and facetious." He was the originator of an attempt to reform and purify the English language, for which purpose he wrote a book called "Euphues," the rules of which became the model of all persons with any pretensions to taste and fashion. It really exhibits the absurdest excess of Pedantry, and has been well ridiculed by Sir Walter Scott in his character of Sir Piercie Shafton in "The Monastery." Lilly was the author of nine dramatic pieces, and of a famous pamphlet against Martin-Marprelate (J. Penry), and his party, entitled "Pass with ​a Hatchet, alias a Fig for my Godson," published in 1589. His death occurred in the year 1600.

He subsequently studied at Edinburgh and at Leyden (under Boerhaave). After returning from the continent he received from his university the degree of Doctor in Physic, and became Physician to the Bridewell and Bethlehem Hospitals, from which time he devoted himself entirely to cases of insanity, on which branch of the medical art he attained the highest degree of eminence. His only published work was entitled " Remarks on Dr. Battie's Treatise on Madness." He died in 1791.
