Six years after he was appointed tutor to Prince George of Cumberland, afterwards King of Hanover, and was Fellow of Oriel College at the time of the highest celebrity of that society. He took an active part in opposing the Tractarian movement, an action the more significant on account of his own sound and undoubted Churchmanship. He was Public Examiner in 1825, and in 1844 he preached "the Bampton Lectures," his subject being "The Means of Grace." He edited Bishop Jewell's works, published at the University Press. He was nominated by Lord Melbourne in 1839 to a Canonry of Christ Church, and was also Sub-Almoner to the Queen.
