Born at Wakefield 1668; B. A. of University college, Oxford, 1638; fellow 1689; M. A. 1691; rector of Headbourne Worthy, Hants, 1695; of Havant 1712. He died Aug. 17,

1723, in his 55th year, very soon after he had completed the tenth and last volume of his " Origines." The profits of the former volumes were unfortunately lost in the South Sea bubble,in 1720. Of such importance have the works of this eminent writer been esteemed in foreign countries, that they have all been correctly translated into Latin by a divine of a German university; but he did not live to receive this flattering mark of approbation. And here it may not be amiss to observe how frequently it occurs that the merits of an eminent ancestor derive honour and emolument on their posterity. The character of Mr. Bingham was the means of procuring the living of Havant for his eldest son; and the late learned and excellent Bistrop Lowth expressly assigned that reason for bestowing a comfortable living on his grandson." I venerate (says he in a letter which conveyed the presentation) the memory of your excellent grandfather, my father's particular and most intimate friend. He was not rewarded as he ought to have been; I therefore give you this living as a small recompense for his great and inestimable merits." For a fuller account of this excellent scholar, I shall refer to the article in the "Biographical Dictionary," vol. II. p. 360; which, through my hands, was communicated to the publick by his great grandson, the Rev. Richard Bingham, minister of Gosport chapel, Hants.
