The Right Rev. Dr. Charles Thomas Longley, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1862. Engraving from a photograph by Mayall, of Regent-street. In 1825 he was appointed Public Examiner, and, having filled the office of Tutor and Censor of Christ Church, he was presented by his college to the incumbency of Cowley, a small benefice in the immediate neighbourhood of Oxford. [In 1829]...he was elected by the trustees to the headmastership of Harrow School...In 1836 the see of Ripon was founded, and Dr. Longley was appointed the first Bishop. On the resignation of Dr. Maltby in 1856, Dr. Longley was translated to the bishopric of Durham; and on the death of Dr. Musgrave, in 1860, to the archbishopric of York. Dr. Longley was most active in the discharge of his episcopal functions as Bishop of Durham, and exerted himself nobly in raising a pecuniary fund for the benefit of the sufferers by the calamitous accident in the Burradon Colliery in 1860; while his zeal and energy in his recent sphere of spiritual duty resulted in the establishment of the York Diocesan Church Building and Endowment Aid Society, in furtherance of which, mainly through his unwearied efforts, many thousands of pounds have been subscribed.
