# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Glyn, George Grenfell

​GLYN, GEORGE GRENFELL, second Baron Wolverton (1824–1887), eldest son of George Carr Glyn, banker (1797-1873), created baron Wolverton 14 Dec. 1869, was born on 10 Feb. 1824. Sir Richard Carr Glyn [q.v.] was his grandfather. He was educated at Rugby and University College, Oxford, where he matriculated 26 May 1842. On coming of age he became a partner in the metropolitan banking firm of Glyn, Mills, Currie, & Co., and continued in the business until his death. He was some time chairman of the Railway Clearing House, and a lieutenant of the city of London. Glyn sat as M.P. for Shaftesbury in the liberal interest from 1857 to 1873, when he succeeded his father in the peerage. He was joint secretary to the treasury from 1868 to 1873, during which period he officiated as a most energetic whip. He was then sworn of the privy council. In the liberal ministry of 1880 to 1885 he was paymaster-general, and his zealous adherence to Mr. Gladstone after the promulgation of his scheme of home rule for Ireland was rewarded by the appointment of postmaster-general (February to July 1886). A personal friend of Mr. Gladstone, Wolverton during the remainder of his life gave valuable support, both oratorical and pecuniary, to the home rule cause. On 2 Oct. 1887 he presided at a great 'anti-coercion' demonstration at Templecombe, Dorsetshire, when he was presented with an address from eight parliamentary districts. He died suddenly at Brighton on 6 Nov. 1887. His personal estate amounted to more than 1,820,O00l.
Wolverton was a model landlord and a staunch supporter of fox-hunting in Dorsetshire. At Iwerne Minster in that county, where was one of his country seats, he and Lady Wolverton supported two orphanages in connection with the Home Boy Brigade originated by her. He gave his salary as postmaster-general to secure beds in a convalescent home for sick London postmen. He married, 22 June 1848, Georgiana Maria, daughter of the Rev. George Frederick Tuffnell of Uffington, Berkshire; had no issue, and was succeeded as third baron by his nephew, Henry Richard, eldest son of Vice-admiral Hon. Henry Carr Glyn, C.B., C.S.I, (d. 1884). The third baron died on 2 July 1888, and his brother Frederick succeeded him.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Glover, Robert (d.1555)

​GLOVER, ROBERT (d. 1555), protestant martyr, came of a family of some wealth and position in Warwickshire, is described as gentleman, and resided at Mancetter. He was elected from Eton to King's College, Cambridge, in 1533, and proceeded B.A. 1538 and M.A. 1541. In common with his eldest brother, John of Bexterley, and another brother named William, he embraced protestant tenets. In 1555 the Bishop of Lichfield (Ralph Bayne) sent a commission to the mayor of Coventry and the sheriff to arrest either John or all three brothers, being especially anxious to take John. The mayor, who was friendly with the Glovers, gave them timely notice, and John and William fled, but Robert, who was sick, was taken in his bed, though the mayor tried to prevent the officer from making the arrest. He appears to have been a man of tall stature and resolute will, and though when he was first taken the mayor pressed him to give bail, he refused to do so. He was examined by the bishop at Coventry and at Lichfield, where he was lodged in a dungeon, and was finally handed over to the sheriff to be executed. On 20 Sept. he was burnt at Coventry along with Cornelius Bungey, a capper. Shortly before his execution he was attended and comforted by Augustine Bernher [q. v.] About 1842 tablets were erected in Mancetter Church to the memory of Glover and Mistress Joyce Lewis, another martyr. Glover left a wife named Mary, and children. Letters from him to his wife and to the 'mayor and bench' of Coventry are printed by Foxe. In an inquisition taken after his death he is described as late of Newhouse Grange, Leicestershire.

DAGON before the ark by John Newton
    When first to make my heart his own,
    The Lord revealed his mighty grace;
    Self reigned, like Dagon, on the throne,
    But could not long maintain its place.
    It fell, and owned the pow'r divine,
    (Grace can with ease the vict'ry gain)
    But soon this wretched heart of mine,
    Contrived to set it up again.
    Again the LORD his name proclaimed,
    And brought the hateful idol low;
    Then self, like Dagon, broken, maimed,
    Seemed to receive a mortal blow.
    Yet self is not of life bereft,
    Nor ceases to oppose his will;
    Though but a maimed stump be left,
    'Tis Dagon, 'tis an idol still.
    Lord! must I always guilty prove,
    And idols in my heart have room?
    Oh! let the, fire of heavenly love,
    The very stump of self consume.

The foolish virgins by John Newton
    When descending from the sky
    The Bridegroom shall appear;
    And the solemn midnight cry,
    Shall call professors near:
    How the sound our hearts will damp!
    How will shame o’erspread each face!
    If we only have a lamp,
    Without the oil of grace.
    Foolish virgins then will wake
    And seek for a supply;
    But in vain the pains they take
    To borrow or to buy:
    Then with those they now despise,
    Earnestly they’ll wish to share;
    But the best, among the wise,
    Will have no oil to spare.
    Wise are they, and truly blest,
    Who then shall ready be
    But despair will seize the rest,
    And dreadful misery:
    Once, they’ll cry, we scorned to doubt,
    Though in lies our trust we put;
    Now our lamp of hope is out,
    The door of mercy shut.
    If they then presume to plead,
    “Lord open to us now;
    We on earth have heard and prayed,
    And with thy saints did bow:”
    He will answer from his throne,
    “Though you with My people mixed,
    Yet to Me you ne’er were known,
    Depart, your doom is fixed.”
    O that none who worship here
    May hear that word, Depart!
    Lord impress a godly fear
    On each professor’s heart:
    Help us, Lord, to search the camp,
    Let us not ourselves beguile;
    Trusting to a dying lamp
    Without a stock of oil.

SAUL's armor by John Newton
    When first my soul enlisted
    My Savior's foes to fight;
    Mistaken friends insisted
    I was not armed aright:
    So Saul advised David
    He certainly would fail;
    Nor could his life be saved
    Without a coat of mail.
    But David, though he yielded
    To put the armor on,
    Soon found he could not wield it,
    And ventured forth with none.
    With only sling and pebble
    He fought the fight of faith;
    The weapons seemed but feeble,
    Yet proved Goliath's death.
    Had I by him been guided,
    And quickly thrown away
    The armor men provided,
    I might have gained the day;
    But armed as they advised me,
    My expectations failed;
    My enemy surprised me,
    And had almost prevailed.
    Furnished with books and notions,
    And arguments and pride
    I practised all my motions,
    And Satan's pow'r defied
    But soon perceived with trouble,
    That these would do no good;
    Iron to him is stubble,
    And brass like rotten wood.
    I triumphed at a distance
    While he was out of sight;
    But faint was my resistance
    When forced to join in fight:
    He broke my sword in shivers,
    And pierced my boasted shield;
    Laughed at my vain endeavors,
    And drove me from the field.
    Satan will not be braved
    By such a worm as I;
    Then let me learn with David,
    To trust in the Most High;
    To plead the name of Jesus,
    And use the sling of prayer;
    Thus armed, when Satan sees us
    He'll tremble and despair.

# Zaccheus climbed the tree

    Zaccheus climbed the tree,
    And thought himself unknown;
    But how surprised was he
    When Jesus called him down!
    The Lord beheld him, though concealed,
    And by a word his pow'r revealed.
    Wonder and joy at once
    Were painted in his face;
    Does he my name pronounce?
    And does he know my case?
    Will Jesus deign with me to dine?
    Lord, I, with all I have, am thine!
    Thus where the gospel's preached,
    And sinners come to hear;
    The hearts of some are reached
    Before they are aware:
    The word directly speaks to them,
    And seems to point them out by name.
    'Tis curiosity
    Oft brings them in the way,
    Only the man to see,
    And hear what he can say;
    But how the sinner starts to find
    The preacher knows his inmost mind.
    His long forgotten faults
    Are brought again in view,
    And all his secret thoughts
    Revealed in public too:
    Though compassed with a crowd about,
    The searching word has found him out.
    While thus distressing pain
    And sorrow fills his heart,
    He hears a voice again,
    That bids his fears depart:
    Then like Zaccheus he is blest,
    And Jesus deigns to be his guest.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Hamilton, George (1783-1830)

​HAMILTON, GEORGE (1783–1830), biblical scholar and divine, born at Armagh in 1783, while his father was dean, was the fourth son of Hugh Hamilton, D.D. [q. v.], bishop of Ossory, and Isabella, eldest daughter of Hans Widman Wood of Rossmead, co. Westmeath. Having entered Trinity College, Dublin, on 10 June 1799, under the tutorship of the Rev. Bartholomew Lloyd, he graduated B.A. 1804 and M.A. 1821. He married, first, Sophia, daughter of George Kiernan of Dublin, by whom he had issue; and secondly, Frances, daughter of Rear-admiral Sir Chichester Fortescue, Ulster king-of-arms, who survived him. In 1809 he was presented to the rectory of Killermogh in the diocese of Ossory, which benefice he held as long as he lived. He was a conscientious parish priest and an early and zealous promoter of religious societies in connection with the church of Ireland. He died 10 Aug. 1830, and was buried in the churchyard of Killermogh, where there is a brief inscription to his memory.
Besides some separate sermons and papers in religious periodicals, Hamilton published: 1. ‘A General Introduction to the Study of the Hebrew Scriptures, with a Critical History of the Greek and Latin Versions, of the Samaritan Pentateuch, and of the Chaldee Paraphrases,’ Dublin, 1813. 2. ‘A Letter to the Rev. Peter Roe, M.A., November 1813, with Papers on Apostolick Practice and Ecclesiastical Establishments’ (printed in ‘The Evil of Separation from the Church of England considered,’ 2nd edit.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Hamilton, Gavin (1561?-1612)

​HAMILTON, GAVIN (1561?–1612), bishop of Galloway, was the second son of John Hamilton of Orbiston, Lanarkshire. The father, descended from Sir James Hamilton of Cadzow [see under James, first Lord Hamilton], fell at the battle of Langside, fighting for Queen Mary (13 May 1568). Gavin was born about 1561, and was educated at the university of St. Andrews, where he took his degree in 1584. He was ordained and admitted to the second charge of Hamilton in 1590, was translated to the parish of Bothwell in 1594, and again to the first charge of Hamilton in 1604. At an early period of his ministry he was appointed by the general assembly to the discharge of important duties pertaining to the office of superintendent or visitor, and after 1597 he was one of the standing commission chosen by the church from among its more eminent clergy to confer with the king on ecclesiastical matters. A supporter of the royal measures for the restoration of episcopacy, he received on 3 March 1605 the temporalities of the bishopric of Galloway, to which were added those of the priory of Whithorn on 29 Sept. and of the abbeys of Dundrennan and Glenluce. In 1606 he became dean of the Chapel Royal at Holyrood, on the revival of that office by King James. In 1606 the general assembly appointed him constant moderator of the presbytery of Kirkcudbright, and three years later he was sent up to court by the other titular bishops to confer with the king as to further measures which were in contemplation for the advancement of their order. The church, having agreed in 1610 to the restoration of the ecclesiastical power of bishops, Hamilton, with Spotiswood, archbishop of Glasgow, and Lamb, bishop of Brechin, were called up to London by the king, and were consecrated 21 Oct. of that year in the chapel of London House according to the English ordinal by the bishops of London, Ely, Rochester, and Worcester. They were not reordained, as the validity of ordination by presbyters was then recognised by the English church and state. On his return to Scotland Hamilton assisted in consecrating the rest of the bishops, and died in February 1612, aged about 51. Keith describes him as 'an excellent good man,' and in the scurrilous lampoons on the bishops by the antiprelatic party of the time he fared better than most of his colleagues. Calderwood says that he seldom preached after his consecration, and died deep in debt, notwithstanding his rich preferments. He married Alison, daughter of James Hamilton ​of Bothwellhaugh, and had a son, John of Inchgoltrick, commendator of Soulseat, and a daughter, wife of (1) John Campbell, bishop of Argyll, and (2) Dunlop of that ilk. Two of his letters to the king appear in 'Original Letters,' vol. i.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Hamilton, Gavin (1753-1805)

​HAMILTON, GAVIN (1753–1805), friend of Burns, was the son of John Hamilton, a native of Kype, Lanarkshire, who settled in Mauchline, Ayrshire, as a writer or solicitor, in the first half of the eighteenth century. Gavin was one of a family of three sons and two daughters, their mother's name being Jacobina Young. By his second wife, said to be a daughter of Mr. Murdoch, Auldhouse, John Hamilton had a son and a daughter, the latter afterwards being Mrs. Adair, Burns's ‘Sweet flower of Devon.’ Hamilton, following his father's profession, became one of the leading men in Mauchline, and, siding with the ‘New Light’ clergy in the great ecclesiastical dispute of his time, was the object of a bitter attack by the kirk session of Mauchline, who belonged to the whig or ‘Auld Light’ party. They found him contumacious regarding a ‘stent’ or tax for the poor, the collection and distribution of which, under his management, were marked by inexplicable irregularities; and they further charged him with breaking the Sabbath, and neglecting church ordinances and family worship. Above all, in his own defence, Hamilton had written an ‘abusive letter’ to the session.
The farm of Mossgiel, in the neighbourhood of Mauchline, was rented from the owner by Hamilton, and farmed under him on a sub-lease by Burns and his brother. This interested Burns in his case, and gave additional point to the powerful ecclesiastical satires which he wrote between 1785 and 1789. Hamilton is specially banned by ‘Holy Willie’ as one that ‘drinks, and swears, and plays at cartes.’ He was apparently a man in advance of his time, whom persecution urged into a more pronounced attitude of revolt than he would spontaneously have adopted. Ayr presbytery, to which Hamilton appealed, after a long and wearisome contest, decided in his favour (July 1785), and the session gave him a certificate clearing him from ‘all ground of church censure’ (Chambers, Burns, i. 135). Burns remained his steadfast friend; wrote to him some of his most interesting letters; honoured him with a vigorous and clever ‘Dedication;’ and composed for him an epitaph, the spirit of which tradition endorses, to the effect that he was a poor man's friend unworthily persecuted. Hamilton's wife was Helen Kennedy, daughter of Kennedy of Daljarroch, Ayrshire—hence the ‘Kennedy's far-honoured name’ of the ‘Dedication’—and he had a family of seven children, to several of whom Burns makes affectionate reference in his letters. Hamilton died on 8 Feb. 1805.
