 son, afterwards bishop of London, at Islington proprietary sohool and at University College, London, Lewis, after reading with Charles Rann Kennedy [q. v.], graduated B.A. in 1843 in the University of London, obtaining the university scholarship in classics. He became fellow of University College in 1847, and proceeded M.A. in classics in 1849, taking the gold medal, then first awarded. He waa appointed the same year professor of Latin at Queen's College, Cork, an appointment which he held until 1905. He laboured to make archæology an integral part of university education, and with that end in view collected objects of art and antiquity for the museum of his college. At the foundation of the Queen's University in Ireland he took an active part in its administration, and held the office of examiner in Latin for four years.

Lewis early devoted his attention to archæology, being elected F.S.A. on 2 Feb. 1860, and was in 1883 appointed foreign corresponding associate of the National Society of Antiquaries of France. In 1873-1874 he delivered courses of lectures on classical archæology at University College in connection with the Slade School of Art. The inaugural lecture was published. His special study was the survival of Roman antiquities in various parts of Europe, and his inquiries took him during the summer recesses to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, Sicily, and Turkey. His discoveries of Roman antiquities, which shed much new light on the interpretation of Latin literature, were embodied in papers contributed between 1875 and 1907 to the 'Archæological Journal.'

Lewis died at his residence, 49 Sunday's Well Road, Cork, on 2 July 1908, and was buried at Cork. He was twice married : (1) on 2 Oct. 1855 to Jane (d. 31 Dec. 1867), second daughter of the Rev. John Whitley, D.D., chancellor of Killaloe; and (2) on 4 Oct. 1871 to Louise Emily (d Nov. 1882), daughter of Admiral Bowes-Watson of Cambridge. He left no issue. He bequeathed to University College, London, his classical and archaeological library and 1000l. for a 'Bunnell Lewis prize' for proficiency in original Latin verse and in translations from Latin and Greek.

Besides his archæological papers and contributions to the second (revised) edition of Dr. William Smith's Latin Dictionary, he published a 'Letter to J. Robson, Esq., on the Slade Professorships of Fine Art' (1869) and 'Remarks on Ivory Cabinets in the Possession of Wickham Flowor, Esq., (1871).

 LEWIS, EVAN (1818–1901). dean of Bangor, born at Llanilar, Cardiganshire, on 16 Nov. 1818, was second (and posthumous) son of Evan Lewis of that place (who was descended from the Lewis family of Dinas Cerdyn and Blaen Oerdyn in that county) by his wife Mary, danghter of John Richards, also of Llanilar.

His mother married, for her second hnsband, John Hughes of Tyn-y-beili, Llanrhystyd. His elder brother, David Lewis (1814-1895), fellow of Jesus College, Oxford (1839-1846) and vice-principal (1845-6), served as curate of St. Mary's, Oxford, under John Henry Newman, and joined the Roman catholic communion in 1846. In 1860 he settled for life at Arundel. Devoting himself to a study of the canon law and the lives of the saints, he translated from the Latin 'The Rise and Growth of the Anglican Schism,' by Nicholas Sanders, with an elaborate introduction and notes (1877); and among other works from the Spanish, the writings of St. John of the Cross (1864 ; 2nd edit., with numerous chansee, 1889; new edit. 3 vols., with an introduction by Father Benedict Zimmermann, 1909).

Evan Lewis, after education at Ystrad Meurig and Aberyrstwyrth, went to a school at Twickenham kept by his father's brother, David Lewis, D.D. (1778-1859) (, Al. Oxon.;, Enwogion Sir Aberteifi, 98). Following his elder brother David to Jesus College, Oxford, Lewis matriculated on 7 April 1838, and graduated B.A. in 1841, proceeding M.A. in 1863. Of powerful physique, he rowed 'stroke' in the college boat when it was head of the river, and in after life was a great walker. Ordained deacon and priest in 1842 by Christopher Bethell, Bishop of Bangor [q. v.], he was successively curate of Llanddeusant (1842), Llanfaes with Penmon (1843-6), Llanfihangel Ysoeifiog (1845-6), all in Anglesey, and Llanllechid, Carnarvonshire (1847-59). He was vicar of Aberdare, Glamoganshire (1859-66), rector of Dolgelly, Merionethshire, and rural dean of Ertimaner (1866-84), proctor in convocation for the diocese of Bangor (1868-80), chancellor of
