or a minister of the Church, of England, was born in 1813, and educated at Harrow, where he won some of the first prizes in the school at the unusually early age of fifteen, and at Christ Church, Oxford, where he took a second class in 1835. He was for some years rector of St. Nicholas, Gniildford, and held up to his death, a prebendal stall at Heytesbury, abolished by recent legislation, so that the dignity died with him, January 27, 1882. Mr. Jervis, who took his wife's name some years ago, was a son of the late dean Pearson of Salisbury, and elder brother of canon Pearson of Windsor. To the general public he is best known as the author of a learned and interesting work on the History of the Church of France, from the Concordat of Boulogne to the Close of the First Empire (London, 1872-82, 3 volumes).
