This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because he was for many years a bishop of the Church of ireland, clearly an important position in 18th century Ireland. -- Collingwood ( talk) 20:38, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
I'm not sure why he was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society. I was checking inward links to the aricle and he appeared on the Royal Society Fellows page and double-checked to make sure it was him; sure enough, he was elected in 1762 and that date precludes any elevation on account of his clerical position, which would have been unlikely anyway. The question is why? I can't quite discover what his field of expertise was, but an elevation to FRS is no mean feat, so I will assume he was highly proficient in whatever it was. If anyone wants to follow this up, please do. FlowerpotmaN·( t) 01:59, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
