George Horne DD (1 November 1730 – 127 January 1792) was an English churchman, writer, and university administrator. ==Life== Horne was born at Otham near Maidstone, in Kent, eldest son of the Reverend Samuel Horne (1693-1768), rector of the parish, and his wife Anne (1697-1787), youngest daughter of Bowyer Hendley. He received his education at Maidstone Grammar School and University College, Oxford (BA 1749; MA 1752; DD 1764). In 1749 Horne became a Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, of which college he was elected President on 27 January 1768. He resigned his post as President on 11 April 1791. Horne was curate of Horspath, Oxfordshire from 1760 to 1764. He was Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford from 1776 until 1780.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Previous Vice-Chancellors )〕 As a preacher, Horne attained great popularity, and was suspected, if inaccurately, of Methodism. In 1781 he was made Dean of Canterbury, and in 1790 was raised to the see of Norwich. He died in Bath, Somerset on 17 January 1792.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「George Horne (bishop)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
