Richard Hnrrell, brother of the preceding, an ardent supporter of the " Oxford movement " in the church of England in its earlier stages, born March 25, 1803, died Feb. 28, 1836. He was educated at Eton and Oxford, in 1826 was elected fellow of Oriel college, and three years after was ordained by the bishop of Oxford. Four volumes of " Remains,' 1 made up of ex- tracts from his journals, correspondence, and writings, in which may be seen the Roman tendencies of the Oxford movement even at that period, were published in London in 1838. FRY, Elizabeth, an English philanthropist, born at Bramerton, near Norwich, May 21, 1780, died in Ramsgate, Oct. 12, 1845. Slue was the daughter of John Gurney of Norwich. The family belonged to the society of Friends, but did not adhere strictly to its usages either in dress, language, or social habits. But in 1798 William Savery, an American Quaker, visited England, and by his means Elizabeth was converted to the strict piety and customs of a "plain Friend." In 1800 she was married to Joseph Fry, and in 1810 she became a min- ister. In 1813 she made her first visit to New- gate prison, and in 1817 succeeded in establish- ing a school and manufactory within the pris- on, organized a ladies' association for the ref- ormation of the prisoners, and thenceforward devoted all her energies to the promotion of prison reform. Within a few years her influ- ence was apparent in most of the jails, houses of correction, lunatic asylums, and infirmaries of the United Kingdom. From 1837 to 1842 she made several journeys in France and in northern and central Europe, visiting prisons, and expounding her plans of improvement to the public authorities.
