CHANDLER (1828-1889)  , English scholar, was born in London on the 31st of January 1828 . In 1848 he entered Pembroke College, Oxford, where he was elected fellow in 1853 . In 1867 he succeeded H . L . Mansel as Waynflete professor of moral and metaphysical philosophy, and in 1884 was appointed curator of the Bodleian library . He died by his own hand in Oxford on the 16th of May 1889 . . He was chiefly known as an Aristotelian scholar, and his knowledge of the Greek commentators on Aristotle was profound . He collected a vast amount of material for an edition of the fragments of his favourite author, but on the appearance of Valentine Rose's work in 1886 he abandoned the idea . Two works on the bibliography of Aristotle, A Catalogue of Editions of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics and of Works illustrative of them printed in the 25th century (1868), and A Chronological Index to Editions of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, and of Works illustrative of them from the Origin of Printing to 1799 (1878), are of great value . Chandler's collection of works on Aristotelian literature is now in the library of Pembroke College . His Practical Introduction to Greek Accentuation (1862, ed. min . 1877) is the standard work in English .
