	Thomas Percy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomas Percy (April 13, 1729 - September 30, 1811), was Bishop of Dromore, and is remembered as editor of Tatler, Guardian, and Spectator.
		Thomas Percy was angered by the parody, but Hester Thrale says that he soon came to his senses and realized that Johnson was satirizing the form, and not the poem.
		In 1782, Percy was ordained as the bishop of Dromore.

		THOMAS PERCY (1729-1811), afterwards bishop of Dromore, in 1765 published his Reliques of English Poetry, in which several excellent old songs and ballads were revived, and a selection made of the best lyrical pieces scattered through the works of dramatic and other authors.
		Percy was born at Bridgnorth, Shropshire, son of a grocer, and having taken holy orders, became successively chaplain to the king, dean of Carlisle, and bishop of Dromore: the latter dignity he possessed from 1782 till his death at the advanced age of eighty-two.
		Percy found it lying dirty on the floor under a bureau in the parlour of his friend Humphrey Pitt of Shifnall, Shropshire, being used by the maids to light the fire.

	Thomas PERCY (Sir)
		It is commonly accepted that Thomas Percy was the great-grandson of the 4th Earl of Northumberland; his father being Edward Percy of a lower branch of the Percys, and his mother being Elizabeth Waterton and making him the second cousin to Henry Percy, 9th Earl of Northumberland.
		Thomas Percy was far from a scrupulous man, which may have been exactly what the Earl of Northumberland needed in extracting the rents from the often less than cooperative Northern tenants.
		On Nov 2nd, Percy wrote three letters from Gainsboro, one to William Stockdall, the auditor for the Earl of Northumberland, claiming that he had to leave abruptly because the Archbishop was about to have him arrested as a chief pillar of papistry.

	Sir Thomas Percy
		It was apparent that Percy would be willing to do anything to rescue his reputation from the taint of having been a mere puppet and dupe used to neutralize the Catholics arousing the open mockery and castigation of the community.
		Percy was in York with 4 men, arranging for the delivery of the rents that they had collected, however early the following morning he departed abruptly, taking two men with him, and telling the other men that he would be back the following day.
		Percy is reported to have been astonished to discover that Rookwood was a co-conspirator, and that "I thought no man had been acquainted with it but such as I had known".

	Thomas Percy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Thomas Percy's interest in the literary antiquity of England had a lasting influence on later poetry.
		Percy, who became Bishop of Dromore in 1782, drew most of the ballads for Reliques from the Percy Folio, a seventeenth-century manuscript which he acquired from his friend Humphrey Pitt of Shifnal in Shropshire.
		The manuscript was saved from destruction by Percy when he discovered it "being used by the Maids to light the fire." The manuscript, now in the British Museum, is a collection of materials of all kinds, but most important for its preservation of ballad poetry.

	Profile of Thomas Percy
		His most convincing argument is that if Percy were a bigamist he would have been quickly dealt with by Martha's brothers, as opposed to being the close co-conspirators that they were.
		It has been claimed by many writers that because of his position as Gentleman Pensioner it would not be suspicious for Percy to take a house close to Parliament, and that he used the assistance of other influential Pensioners to persuade Ferrers and Whinniard to lease the house to him.
		On November 2nd, Percy wrote three letters from Gainsboro, one to William Stockdall, the auditor for the Earl of Northumberland, claiming that he had to leave abruptly because the Archbishop was about to have him arrested as a chief pillar of papistry.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Dromore
		To this patron saint of the diocese and its first bishop, besides the church at Dromore already referred to, are also dedicated the parish churches at Tullylish, Kilvarlin, in the parish of Magheralin, and Barnmeen near Rathfriland in the parish of Drumgath.
		The first Protestant Bishop of Dromore was John Tod, on whom it was bestowed in commendam in 1606, while he was at the same time Bishop of Down and Connor.
		Two of his successors distinguished themselves more creditably: Jeremy Taylor, who was bishop of these three dioceses from 1661 to 1667, an eloquent preacher and a writer of genius, and Thomas Percy, Bishop of Dromore from 1782 to 1811, whose "Reliques of Ancient Poetry" had a great and enduring influence on English literature.

	Early Child Ballads
		One came in mid-century, and was marked by Bishop Thomas Percy's collection and publication (in his 1765 "Reliques of Ancient English Poetry") of many of the old ballads he was able to acquire.
		Percy published some material from the folio (well, based on the folio - he wasn't above `improving' it), and the manuscript itself (what was left of it) was published in 1867, in three volumes of about five-hundred pages each.
		It is worth noting that the Percy folio does not give refrains for its ballads, even in cases where we have strong reason to believe that such refrains were sung in the oral tradition.

		The great English antiquarian, Thomas Percy, afterward Bishop of Dromore, was early drawn to this work, and with the aid of friends he accomplished a translation of it, which was published in 1770.
		And no less certain is it that Thomas Carlyle, and Matthew Arnold, and William Morris, and Charles Kingsley, and Gerald Massey labored for a better manhood that should rise to the stature and reflect the virtues of the heroes of the Northland.
		Gray has all the culture of his age, when it was still possible to compass all knowledge in one lifetime; Arnold had all the literary culture of his fuller century when multiplied sciences force a scholar to be content with one segment of human knowledge.

		Thus Anna Seward complained to Thomas Park, in a series of harsh letters published during Bannerman's lifetime, of "the palpable obscure" of Bannerman's poetry: "that obscurity which puzzles a reader, who has poetic sensibility and taste, to guess what the author means, is a great inexpiable fault" (5: 324-5).
		Like Nietzsche and Percy Bysshe Shelley in "[Lift Not the Painted Veil]," Bannerman counsels against lifting the veil: she too does not "believe that truth remains truth when the veils are withdrawn" (Nietzsche 38).
		Thomas Park noted with approval that Jessie Stewart had "watched the bold flights of Miss Bannerman with the eye of a parnassian eaglet" (letter to Anderson, 9 Dec. 1801, NLS MS 22.4.10).

		When at last the moment came for his presentation to the Bishop of Elphin, that prelate, sad to say, rejected him, perhaps because of his college reputation, perhaps because of actual incompetence, perhaps even, as tradition affirms, because he had the bad taste to appear before his examiner in flaming scarlet breeches.
		It originated in certain metrical discussions with Percy, then engaged upon his famous 'Reliques of English Poetry'; and in 1765, Goldsmith, who through his friend Nugent (afterwards Lord Clare) had made the acquaintance of the Earl of Northumberland, printed it privately for the amusement of the Countess.
