"At High Knipe, in Bampton parish, was born Thomas Gibson, M.D. physician general to the army, and author of "a System of Anatomy," who married to his second wife a daughter of Richard Cromwell the protector. There also was born 1669 his nephew EDMUND GIBSON, D.D. bishop of Lincoln and London, who had the honor of publishing a new translation of Mr. Camden's BRITANNIA, with considerable additions and improvements in successive editions. He was educated at the freeschool founded at Bampton 1623 by Dr. Thomas Sutton, another native, under Mr. Jackson (who held it 44 years), and admitted 1686 of Queen's college, Oxford. He began his literary career with publishing 1691 in 4to. "Drummond's Polemo-Middiana," and James V. of Scotland's "Cantilena Rustica," and in 1692 the Saxon Chronical, and the Catalogue of the Tenison and Dugdale MSS. In 1693 a correct edition of Quintilian, and in 1694, when he proceeded M.A. Somner's Roman Ports and Forts in Kent, and his Portus Iccius illustratus. In 1695 he entered into orders, and published, with the assistance of his friends, a new translation of the BRITANNIA, with a dedication to Lord Somers, who offered him a living of £.200. a year in the isle of Tanet, which he declined on account of health. In 1696 he was admitted library keeper at Lambeth to archbishop Tenison, who took him into his family, and in 1697 he was appointed morning preacher at Lambeth, and prefixed to the "Catalogus Manuscriptorum in Anglia &Hibernia," a Latin life of Bodley, and history of his library. In 1698 he published "The posthumous works of sir Henry Spelman, with his life," and was lecturer of St. Martin's in the fields. He distinguished himself in defence of the archbishop's rights as president of the convocation, and had the degree of D.D. conferred on him by the archbishop 1702, was preferred to the rectory of Lambeth, to the precentorship and a residentiary place in the church of Chichester, and 1710 to the archdeaconry of Surry. In 1713 he published his "Codex juris Anglicani," and in 1716 was promoted to the see of Lincoln, and 1723 translated to London. His close application to study and business of various kinds brought on a decay which terminated his life at Bath Sept. 6, 1748, in the 79th year of his age, having lived to publish a second edition of Britannia, enlarged to two volumes 1722. He was interred at Fulham with no other inscription over him than" ""Edmund Gibson, lord bishop of London.""
