H.AL'LIER (Francis), a learned French prelate, born 
at Chartres in 1595 ; but, owing to a derangement in 
the circumftances of his family, he was taken from his 
Rudies, with the defign of being educated in fome line 
of bufinefs. As, however,, he difcovered an averfion to 
engage in the employments propofed to him, he was 
placed in the fituation of page in the fervice of the 
princefs dowager d’Aumale. After continuing in her 
houfe for about two years, during which time his hours 
of leifure were employed in writing pieces of Latin and 
French poetry, he was permitted to follow the bent of 
his inclination. When he had completed the regular 
theological courfe, he was admitted a doftor of the fa¬ 
culty of the Sorbonne, in 1624. He now undertook the 
office of tutor to the abbe d’Alincourt, Ferdinand de 
Neufville, who was afterwards bilhop of Chartres. He 
accompanied his pupil to Rome, where he acquired the 
efteem of pope Urban VIII. and from Rome he extend¬ 
ed his tour to Naples, and thence to Greece, and after¬ 
wards to England. Soon after his return to France, he 
entered the lifts againft the Jefuits, in a controverfy be¬ 
tween them and the theological faculty at Paris, who, 
in teftimony of their approbation of his Defence of the 
Ecclefiaftical Hierarchy, and of the Cenfure of the Fa¬ 
culty, &c. publiffied in 1632, appointed him profeffor at 
the Sorbonne. In 1637 he publiffied at Paris a work en¬ 
titled, De facris Elefiionibus & Ordinationibus, ex antiquo & 
novo Ecclefse, Ritu, which was reprinted at Rome in 1740, 
in 3 vols. folio. By this work he'acquired a high repu¬ 
tation at Rome, as well as in his native country, and 
gave fo much fatisfa&ion to the French clergy, that 
they fettled on him a penfion of eight hundred livres. 
He was alfo made archdeacon of Dinan, and'appointed 
to a prebend in the cathedral church at Chartres, which 
his ftate of health permitted him to retain only one' year. 
In 1644 he publiffied, The Moral Theology of the Je¬ 
fuits, which involved him in a freffi conteft with that 
fociety ; and in 1645 he adted as prodtor at the affem- 
bly of the clergy, in which the ordinances for the go¬ 
vernment of the regulars were revived. On thefe he 
wrote a learned commentary, which was publiffied in 
1665, by M. Gerbais. In 1646 he publiffied a treatife, 
De Hierarchia, in four books; and in 1649 was made fyn- 
dic of the faculty of theology at Paris. In 1652 he was 
one of the deputation fent by the Sorbonne to Rome, to 
folicit the condemnation of the five propofitions of Jan- 
fenius, in which objedt they fucceeded. In 1656, M. 
Hallier paid a third vifit to Rome, in order to receive from 
the hands of pope Alexander VII. the bulls of invefti-. 
ture to the biffiopric of Cavaillon, to which he had been 
nominated by the king. He enjoyed his new dignity, 
however, but for a fliort.time, as he died in 1659, in the 
fixty-fifth year of his age.

where he proceeded B. A. in 1743, aud M. A. in 1757. 
Afterwards he removed to Trinity-hall, where there 
are only two fellowffiips in divinity ; which was pro¬ 
bably the motive for his proceeding dodtor of laws, in 
1764. For many years he held the profefforffiip of Ara¬ 
bic at Cambridge, which he refigned in 1770, upon his 
being appointed regius-profelfor of civil law in the uni- 
verfity. In the fervice ot his profefforffiip, he acquired 
confiderable celebrity by a public courfe of ledtures 
which he delivered, of which the heads were publiffied
