“ Wharton was a “broad churchman” and was deeply interested in the hymnology of his church. He received the degree of LL.D. from the university of Edinburgh in 1883, and was the foremost American authority on international law.
He published: A Treatise on the Criminal Law of the United States (1846; many times reprinted) ; State Trials of the Untied States during the Administrations of Washington and Adams (1849) ; A Treatise on the Law of Homicide in the United States (1855) ; with Moreton Stille, A Treatise on Medical Jurisprudence (1855) ; Modern Theism (1859) . ”

“ A similar treatise on Rhetoric, also contributed to the Encyclopaedia, appeared in 1828. In 1829 Whately was elected to the professorship of political economy at Oxford in succession to Nassau William Senior.
This was a subject admirably suited to his lucid, practical intellect, but his tenure of office was cut short by his appointment to the archbishopric of Dublin in 1831. He published only one course of Introductory Lectures (1831) , but one of his first acts on going to Dublin was to endow a chair of political economy in Trinity College out of his private purse. ”

“ In the Lambeth Library there are sixteen volumes of Wharton's manuscripts. Describing him as “this wonderful man,” Stubbs says that Wharton did for the elucidation of English Church history " more than any one before or since." A life of Wharton is included in George D’Oyly's Life of W. Sancroft (1821) .
WHATELY, RICHARD (1787–1863) , English logician and theological writer, archbishop of Dublin, was born in London on the 1st of February 1787. He was educated at a private school near Bristol, and at Oriel College, Oxford. ”
