[Born 1786. Still living.] Educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, of which he was Fellow. Bishop of Chester, 1824--of London, 1828. Distinguished for his classical attainments, and before his elevation to the bench, known as the accomplished editor of the tragedies of Æschylus. As a churchman, Charles James Blomfield has endeavoured to take a middle and conciliatory course, notwithstanding his decided bent towards the high church party. It is no reproach to the Bishop of London to say that he has occasionally stumbled, upon a difficult and slippery path. [By W. Behnes.] 482A.
