[2] He worked as curate of Basing, Hampshire from 1885 to 1886, before becoming professor of Latin and lecturer in Hebrew at St David's College, Lampeter.
[1] His other interests included topography; he was wholly or partly responsible for the volumes on South Wales, Monmouthshire, Herefordshire and Somerset in the Methuen Little Guide series.
