FUMY, Rev. EDWARD BOUYERIE, D.D., regius professor of Hebrew at Oxford, and canon of Christ-church, a celebrated English divine, and one of the chief promoters of the High church movement in the church of England. He is the second son of the honorable Philip Bouverie (younger brother of the first earl of Radnor, who assumed the name of Pusey), by lady Lucy Sherard, eldest daughter of Robert, fourth earl of liar borough. He was born in the year 1800, was educated at Eton, and thence proceeded to Christ-church, where he obtained a first class in classics in 1822. and gained the uni versity prize for a, Latin essay in 1824. He was afterwards elected fellow of Ovid; and in 1828 succeeded Dr. Nicoll in the regius professorship of Hebrew, to which a at Christ-church is annexed.
Dr. Pusey's first publication was on the State of Religion in Germany, the result of a visit to that country, which appears to have gi eatly influenced his subsequent course, and led him to devote himself to resist the progress of rationalism. In 1t35 he became a contributor to the Tracts for the Times (in union with Messrs. J. H. Newman, Keble, Williams, etc.),. of which Nos. 67, 69, On Holy Baptism, and Nos. 18 and 66, On the Benefit of Fasting, were written by him (see TRACTARIANISM). He was also one of the editors of the Library of the Fathers, and of the Library of Anglo-Catholic Theology. In
consequence of a sermon on Tim Holy Eucharist, a Comfort to the Penitent, preached before the university in 1843, he was suspended from preaching by the vice-chancellor for three years, on the allegation that his language on the subject of the real presence was beyond what sanctioned by the formularies of the church of England. Dr. Pusey, however, protested against, the proceeding, and appealed to the teaching of English divines. His other principal works are—Remarks on the Benefits of Cathedral Institutions; two treatises on the Royal Supremacy in Spiritual ,Matters; a'treatise on the Ancient Doctrine of the Real PrMenee; Letters to the Archbishop of Canterbury, the (late) Bishop of Orford, and the (late) Bishop of London, in Defense of Church Principles; On Mar riage with a Deceased Wife's Sister; On the Use of Private Confession in the English-Church; translations of several foreign devotional works adapted to the use of the English church; History of the Councils cf the Church; a Commentary on the Minor Prophets; Lec tures on theProphet Daniel; a Catalogue of Arabic ASS. fag the Bodleian Library; and numerous sermons.
