Clinton, HENRY FYNES, a great classical scholar, was born January 14, 1781, at Gamston, in Nottinghamshire. He was educated at Southwell, Westminster, and Christ Church, Oxford, where he graduated B.A. in 1803. He represented Aldborough in parliament from 1806 till 1826. He died at Welwyn, October 24, 1852. His great works on Greek and Roman chronology are unlikely ever to be superseded or forgotten. These are the Fasti Hellenici (1824-34), and Fasti Romani (1845-50).
