​GODFREY. (Lieut., 1806. f-p., 27; h-p., 29.)
George Robert Godfrey was born in May, 1775 or 6, and died, after a protracted illness of five years, 10 April, 1845. He was son of Robt. Godfrey, Esq.; nephew of Geo. Godfrey, Esq., at one time Purser of H.M.S. Andromeda, who married a sister of Admiral Sir John Duckworth, G.C.B.; and cousin of Admiral John Child Purvis.
This officer entered the Navy, in 1789, as a Volunteer, on board La Prudente 38, Capt. Henry Trollope, and afterwards made two voyages round the world with Capt. Ellis in the Stourmount and Eliza. In Oct. 1794 he became Midshipman of the Experiment lugger, Lieut.-Commander Geo. Hayes, on the Home and Mediterranean stations, where, until Sept. 1803, he also served, latterly as Master’s Mate, in the Mahonesa 34, Capts. Devonshire and John Giffard, Achille 74, Capts. Hon. Henry Edwin Stanhope, Geo. Murray, Edw. Buller, and Jas. Wallis, Amelia frigate, Capt. Lord Proby, and Utrecht 64, flag-ship of Sir Edw. Thornbrough. He then joined the Prince of Orange 74, bearing the flag of Admiral Drury, from whom (having passed in 1800) he received an order to officiate as Acting-Lieutenant 1 Nov. 1804. After a continued servitude in that capacity, both in the Princess of Orange and in La Flêche, Capt. Thos. White, Mr. Godfrey was at length formally promoted on 24 April, 1806, and appointed First-Lieutenant 23 Aug. following of the Kent 74, Capt. Thos. Rogers. On 13 Dec. 1810 he received a very severe wound while serving, as First-Lieutenant, with the boats of that ship and a squadron, under Capt. Fras. Wm. Fane, at the destruction, in the mole of Palamos, of a large convoy, protected by two batteries – on which occasion, out of 600 British officers and men, upwards- of 200 were killed, wounded, and taken prisoners. My. Godfrey, whose exertions throughout were conspicuous, continued in the Kent until the early part of 1813. He then joined the Vigo 74, bearing the flag in the Baltic of Rear-Admiral ​Jas. Nicoll Morris, and, on 3 Sept. 1814, was appointed Senior of the Aquilon 32, Capts. Thos. Burton and Rich. Budd Vincent, on the Mediterranean station. He went on half-pay 30 April, 1816; and was not afterwards employed.
The subject of this memoir, who obtained the out-pension of Greenwich Hospital 9 Jan. 1843, suffered much in the service of his country. He was often under the enemy’s fire, was much battered in his person from the effects of numerous wounds, and had the misfortune to be deprived in action of the faculty of hearing. He married a Miss Swayer.

# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Andrewes, Lancelot

​Andrewes, Lancelot (1555-1626).— Churchman and scholar, was b. in London, and ed. at Merchant Taylor's School and Cambridge, where he took a fellowship and taught divinity. After receiving various other preferments he became Dean of Westminster, and a chaplain-in-ordinary to Queen Elizabeth, who, however, did not advance him further on account of his opposition to the alienation of ecclesiastical revenues. On the accession, however, of James I., to whom his somewhat pedantic learning and style of preaching recommended him, he rose into great favour, and was made successively Bishop of Chichester, of Ely, and, in 1618, of Winchester. He attended the Hampton Court Conference, and took part in the translation of the Bible, known as the Authorised Version, his special work being given to the earlier parts of the Old Testament: he acted, however, as a sort of general editor. He was considered as, next to Ussher, the most learned churchman of his day, and enjoyed a great reputation as an eloquent and impassioned preacher, but the stiffness and artificiality of his style render his sermons unsuited to modern taste. His doctrine was High Church, and in his life he was humble, pious, and charitable. ​Ninety-six of his sermons were published in 1631 by command of Charles I.
There are lives by A.T. Russell (1863), and R.L. Ottley (1894); Devotions were edited by Rev. Dr. Whyte (1900).
# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Ture-Lure

​TURE-LURE (soft u), or TOURE-LOUBE, a very ancient lyrical burden or refrain, probably of Provençal origin. The old English form is 'tirra-lirra,' Shakspeare, 'The lark that tirra-lirra chants.' (Compare the French 'Turlut,' a titlark; 'Turlutaine,' a bird-organ.) In old French music it is also found as 'Tur-lu-tu-tu,' 'Tur-lu-ru' (in a popular air 'Io canto tur-lu-ru'), 'tur-lur-ibo,' etc. It often occurs in the old French burlesques. The following specimens, taken from 'Les Parodies du Nouveau Theatre Italien,' 1731, will illustrate its use.
1. 'Ho! Ho! toure-louribo.'
2. Vaudeville in 'Les Cahos.'

​TURLE, James, born at Taunton [App. p.805 "Somerton"], March 5, 1802, was a chorister at Wells Cathedral, under Dodd Perkins, from July 1810 to Dec. 1813. He was organist of Christ Church, Surrey, from 1819 to 1829, and from the latter date to 1831 organist of St. James, Bermondsey. From 1819 to 1831 he was assistant to Thomas Greatorex as organist and master of the choristers of Westminster Abbey, and upon Greatorex's death in 1831 was appointed his successor. [App. p.805 "add that from 1840 to 1843 he was part conductor of the Ancient Concerts."] In 1875 he was released from active duty by the appointment of Dr. J. F. Bridge as his assistant. From 1829 to 1856 he was music master at the School for the Indigent Blind. He composed and edited many services, anthems, and chants, and edited, with Professor E. Taylor, 'The People's Music Book.' He also composed many glees, which yet remain in MS. His remarkable skill and ability as a teacher were strikingly manifested by the number of those who received their early training from him, and rose to eminence in their profession. He died June 28, 1882.
Robert Turle, his brother, born March 19, 1804, was a chorister at Westminster Abbey from 1814 to Aug. 1821, was organist of Armagh Cathedral from 1823 to 1872, and died March 26, 1877.

​TURK, a dog, who by his connexion with a great singer and a still greater composer, has attained nearly the rank of a person. He ​belonged to Signor Rauzzini, and after his death his master put up a memorial to him in his garden at Bath, in which he was spoken of as his master's 'best friend.' Haydn and Burney visited Rauzzini at Bath in 1794, and Haydn was so much struck by the memorial as to set a part of the inscription—apparently the concluding words—as a canon or round for 4 voices.

His music consists of an Overture and 6 numbers, 3 of them marches, all more or less founded on a Chinese melody, which Weber took from Rousseau's Dictionary of Music (vol. ii. plate N), and which opens the overture exactly as Rousseau gives it.
