DRUMMOND, HENRY (1786-186o), English banker, politician and writer, best known as one of the founders of the Catholic Apostolic or "Irvingite" Church, was born at the Grange, near Alresford, Hants., on Dec. 5, 1786, the eldest son of Henry Drummond, a prominent London banker. He was edu cated at Harrow and at Christ Church, Oxford. From 1847 until his death he represented West Surrey in parliament. In 1817 he met Robert Haldane at Geneva, and continued his movement against the Socinian tendencies then prevalent there. In later years he was intimately associated with the origin and spread of the Catholic Apostolic Church. Meetings of those who sympa thized with the views of Edward Irving were held for the study of prophesy at Drummond's seat, Albury Park, in Surrey; he contributed very liberally to the funds of the new church; and he became one of its leading office-bearers, visiting Scotland as an "apostle" and being ordained as an "angel" for that kingdom. He died on Feb. 20, 1860. His works include Social Duties on Christ ian Principles (18,30); Abstract Principles of Revealed Religion (1844); The Fate of Christendom (3rd ed. 18S4); Discourses on the true Definition of the Church (1858) ; and Speeches in Parlia ment (ed. Lord Lovaine, 186o) .
