 Honorary Canon of Canterbury Cathedral, is a son of the late Rev. Henry Ives Bailey, vicar of North Leverton, Notts, and author of "The Liturgy compared with the Bible." He was born in 1815, and educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. in 1839, and obtained the Crosse and the Tyrwhitt University Scholarships. He became Fellow of his college, and Hebrew Lecturer; and graduated M.A. in 1842; B.D. in 1849; and D.D. in 1870. In 1850 he was appointed Warden of St. Augustine's Missionary College, Canterbury, in succession to Bishop Coleridge. This post he held till the close of the year 1877, when he was presented by the Archbishop of Canterbury to the vicarage of West Tarring, Worthing. Dr. Bailey is the author of "Rituale Anglo-Catholicum" (1847); "The Missionary's Daily Text Book;" and other works. Bishop Blomfield, in 1851, appointed him Secretary to the Society for advancing the Christian Faith in the West Indies and in Mauritius.

 BAILEY,, F.S.A., born Feb. 13, 1840, at Edgbaston, near Birmingham, was educated at Boteler's Free Grammar School, Warrington, and Owens College, Manchester. For many years he has been connected with the Manchester branch of the large mercantile firm of Messrs. Ralli Brothers. In 1876 he was appointed a member of the Council of the Chetham Society, and is now its secretary. Mr. Bailey has published "The Life of Thomas Fuller, D.D., with Notices of his Books, his Kinsmen, and his Friends," 1874; a collection of Dr. Fuller's "Sermons," a "Memoir of Henry Clarke," 1877; and "Inventories of Church Goods of Lancashire, 1552" (for the Chetham Society), 1878. Amongst other tracts he has edited the "Manchester al Mondo" of the first Earl of Manchester (1638). He has also contributed a large number of papers to local and other journals, relating to biography, history, and bibliography, and mostly connected with Lancashire and Cheshire. The "Bibliographical History of Shorthand," perhaps his most interesting work, still remains in MS. In 1881 Mr. Bailey established The Palatine Note-Book, an illustrated monthly antiquarian and bibliographical journal, circulating in Lancashire, Cheshire, and the North of England, which has been called the Notes and Queries of that district. It has contained a memoir of Dr. John Ferriar, and several other papers from his pen.

 BAILEY,, son of Thomas Bailey, author of the "Annals of Notts," who died in 1856, was born at Nottingham, April 22, 1816. Having been educated at various schools in his native town, he in 1831 matriculated at the University of Glasgow, where he studied for two sessions under Professors Buchanan, Sir D. K. Sandford, Thomson, and Milne. In 1833 he began to study the law, was admitted a member of Lincoln's Inn in 1835, and called to the bar in 1840. Having little inclination for legal pursuits, Mr. Bailey before this time had carried on an extensive and varied course of reading in the libraries of the British Museum and Lincoln's Inn, as well as in the privacy of home. He was accustomed to the composition of verse from early years. "Festus," conceived and planned originally in 1836, and published in 1839, was well received in this country and in America, where it has passed through very many editions. It reached its eighth edition in this country in 1868. "The Angel World," a poem afterwards incorporated with "Festus," appeared in 1850; another poem, "The Mystic," in 1855; "The Age," a satire, in 1858; and "The Universal Hymn," in 1867.
