 Melancholy,’ Oxford, 8vo, from Dr. James Ferrand's Latin work ‘Erotomania.’ In 1650 he published translations of Gaffarel's ‘Curiosites inouyes,’ and of Leo Modena's work upon the Jews. He helped Sir Henry Holbrooke in his translation of Procopius in 1663. Edward Bysshe, Garter king-at-arms (although a parliamentarian), assisted him and his friend John Gregory with money and recommendations to others. Chilmead died on 19 Feb. 1653-4 in London, and was buried in the churchyard of St. Botolph without, Aldersgate. An ‘address to the reader’ by Chilmead is prefixed to a translation of Campanella's ‘Discourse touching the Spanish Monarchy,’ published in 1654. At the end of the Oxford edition of Aratus, 1672, 8to, is a curious dissertation by Chilmead, ‘De Musicâ Antiquâ Græcâ,’ and his ‘Annotationes in Odas Dionysii,’ which were found by Dr. Bernard among the papers of Archbishop Ussher. In this work he gives the ancient Greek musical characters rendered in the notes of Guido's scale. Wood mentions a treatise of his 'De Sonis,' which was never published. In 1691 there appeared at Oxford, with Latin notes and translation (from the Greek) by Chilmead, together with a preface by Humphrey Hody and a letter by Bent ley, an edition of 'Joannis Antiocheni cognomento Malalee Historia Chronica.' Chilmead's contributions to this volume have been frequently reprinted in the continental collections of Byzantine historians. In the British Museum (Add. MS. 29396) is a volume of rare old English songs, chiefly in the handwriting of Edward Lowe, ofjjanist of the Chapel Royal. Of these 'Coy Celia dost thou see?' is signed Edm. Chilmead; the words, however, are Randolph's; and 'Drinke to-daye and drowne all sorrowe' has Chilmead's music, but the words are from Fletcher's 'Bloody Brother.' There are also some trios by Chilmead in Addit. MS. 31429. 'A learned Treatise of Globes both Celestiall and Terrestriall. . . written first in Latine by Mr. Robert Hues ... Illustrated with notes Inr lo. Isa. Pontanus, and now lately made English ... by John Chilmead, Mr. A. of Christ Church in Oxon.,' London, 1038, 8vo, is usually attributed to Edmund Chilmead with apparent correctness.

 CHINNERY, GEORGE (fl. 1766–1846), portrait and landscape painter, first exhibited some crayon portraits at the Free Society in 1766y and some miniature portraits at the Royal Academy in 1791. At this period he resided at No. 4 Gough Square, Fleet Street. In 1798 he was in College Green, Dublin, and was much patronised oy the Lansdowne family. He became a member of the Royal Hibernian Academy. In 1801, at an exhibition held in the Parliament Houae, Dublin, he had eleven pictures—six portraits and five landscapes. In the following yearwe find him in London, and nothing is known of him until 1830, in which year he sent from Canton to the Royal Academy two portraits, vis. 'Dr. Morrison engaged in translating the Bible into the Chinese language,' and 'The Portrait of a Hong Merchant.' In 1846 his own portrait was in the Royal Academy. It is supposed that Chinnery accompanied Lord Macartney to China; however, he lived in that country for many years, visiting India, and died at Macao about 1800. In the hall of the Royal Dublin Society there is an oil-painting of a lady, seated, considered to represent Maria, marchioness of Lansdowne. There are in the print room of the British Museum a few slight sketches of Indian figures, and also a small quarto volume of etchings by Chinnery entitled 'A Series of Miscellaneous rough Sketches of Oriental Heads.' Published by W. Thacker & Co., Calcutta. These etchings bear the dates of 1839 and 1840. At Knowsley Hall there are two oil-paintings, 'A Chinese Landscape, the English Factory and the Town and Bay of Macao,' and 'View of Macao.' At the South Kensington Museum in 1867 was exhibited the portrait of Hugh Hamilton.

 CHIPP, EDMUND THOMAS (1823–1886), organist and composer, eldest son of Thomas Paul Chipp [q. v.], was born on 25 Dec. 1823, and educated as a chorister in the Chapel Royal under W. Hawes. He studied the violin successively under W. Thomas, J. B. Nadaud, and A. Tolbecque, and in 1842-3 was honorary organist of the Albany Chapel, Regent's Park.
