John Douglas, D.D., president; Peter Whalley, LL.B., and William Romaine, M.A., deans; Thomas Weales, D.D., Samuel Carr, M.A., George Stinton, D.D., and Henry Whitfield, D.D., assistants.”

Additional Names.

(14.) Right Rev. Charles Hughes Terrot (born 1790, died 1S72), was a great-grandson of Monsieur de Terotte, who became a refugee in England on the revocation of the Edict of Nantes (see the sketch of a pedigree at the end of this memoir). He was brought from India by his widowed mother to Berwick, and there and at Carlisle his early education was conducted. He graduated with honours at Cambridge in 1812, and became a Fellow of Trinity College during the same year. In 1816, being M.A., he wrote the Seaton Prize Poem, entitled, “Hezekiah and Sennacherib.” His largest work in evidence of his zeal in Biblical studies was published in 1828, entitled, “The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans, with an Introduction. Notes, and Paraphrase.” As a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, he was enabled to employ some of his leisure in devotion to Mathematics, his favourite study, and among other papers he produced the following:—

On the sums of the digits of numbers. 1845.

An attempt to elucidate and apply the principles of goniometry, as published by W. Warren, in his treatise on the square roots of negative quantities. 1847.

On algebraical symbolism. 1848.

An attempt to compare exact and popular estimate of probability. 1849.

On probable inference. 1850.

On the summation of a compound series, and its application to a problem on probabilities. 1853.

On the possibility of combining two or more independent probabilities on the same event so as to form one definite probability. 1856.

On average value of human testimony. 1858.

In 1841, having been one of their number for nearly a quarter of a century, he was elected by the Scottish Episcopal clergy of Edinburgh to be their bishop. This honour in Scotland is not national, and a few adjacent chapels and congregations and their incumbents are alone affected by it. Hence, like his predecessors in office, he was not,
