The late Archdeacon Wrangham, when a student at College, 

 gained the highest classical honours of the University, and was 

 distinguished in after life for the correctness of his scholarship and 

 for the refined taste and elegance of his classical compositions : there 

 are few departments of our literature which he has not enriched 

 by his writings; and throughout a long and useful life, his lively 

 and instructive conversation, his refined and amiable manners, and 

 his upright and consistent character, secured him the affectionate 

 attachment of a large circle of friends, including the most eminent 

 men of his day.
