  Richard Whately - LoveToKnow 1911
RICHARD WHATELY (1787-1863), English logician and theological writer, archbishop of Dublin, was born in London on the 1st of February 1787.
Whately was a great talker, much addicted in early life to argument, in which he used others as instruments on which to hammer out his own views, and as he advanced in life much given to didactic monologue.
It was to Whately essentially a belief in certain matters of fact, to be accepted or rejected after an examination of "evidences." Hence his endeavour always is to convince the logical faculty, and his Christianity inevitably appears as a thing of the intellect rather than of the heart.

 Whately, Richard (1787–1863) | Encyclopedia of Philosophy
Richard Whately, the English logician, was a fellow of Oriel College and archbishop of Dublin.
Whately's section on "the drift of propositions," which is original and perceptive, was ignored until the twentieth century.
Whately granted the common objection, voiced by John Locke, that man argued correctly before syllogism was heard of; nevertheless, putting arguments in logical form provides a test of validity.

Whately argues that unplanned testimony is persuasive because it has the appearance of being genuine and "unscripted." Keep this in mind when you have an argument that could be helped by "man on the street" kinds of interviews.
Whately's emphasis on the "burden of proof" is very helpful to the writer who is embarking on a "taking a position" paper.
Whately is realistic about the nature of written discourse, and he accepts that "truth" can become a concept to managed in the service of persuasion.

 Disconnecting Church and state: Richard Whately''s ideas in the 1830s. - Journal, Magazine, Article, Periodical
Whately believed that this union, pursued by medieval theorists and cherished as a practical reality in the eighteenth century, had actually done a great deal of harm to the Church.
For Whately, the reform of Anglican Christianity depended on the re-invention of the Church as an institution independent of the Crown and the Parliament.
Whately's efforts in the 1830s are significant today because they rested not on the failure but on the modernity of his imagination.

Richard Whately, as the Austrians are, is a proponent of private property, “But in order to the existence of such a state of things, it is necessary that property should be recognized, and should be tolerably well secured.”
Whately is also very Misien due to the importance he places on private property and the incentives brought about by owning property; spontaneous order, the caretaker of society, is dependent on private property to Richard Whately and most Austrian Economists.

The effigy of Richard Whately, for 32 years Archbishop of Dublin, rests upon what is at first sight a tomb chest.
Whately, a celebrated scholar and essayist was noted for his balanced and cool theological judgement in a period marked by profound theological controversy and rapid organisational change within the established church.
His effigy shows him wearing robes that are not easy to identify, however, a clue may be provided by the pectoral pendent he is shown as wearing, possibly that of the Order of St Patrick.

 Review: Richard Whately - A Man For All Seasons
The biographical sketch of Whately by Craig Parton simply whets your appetite and leaves you wanting more of this incisive and intellectually critical man. Parton sets the stage by providing a detailed yet concise precis of the political and philosophical times in which Whately lived and published the two articles.
Whately was well known for his tendency to champion unpopular causes, such as civil rights for Catholics.
He does this by applying those theories to the existence of Napoleon Buonaparte, "proving" by their logical application that Napoleon could not have lived as a single, identifiable individual, but was probably at least a composite and maybe entirely mythical.
