Theognis, a Greek elegiac poet, who flourished about 540 B. C. He was a citizen of Megara; and as in the contests between the aristocratic and democratic parties he belonged to the former, he shared in their defeat, and went into exile at Thebes. He visited Sicily, Euboea, and Sparta, and survived the Persian war of 490. He is the author of numerous elegies, originally comprising 2,800 verses, of which 1,389 are extant.

Theophilus Lindsey, an English theologian, born at Middlewich, Cheshire, June 20, 1723, died in London, Nov. 3, 1808. He was educated at St. John's college, Cambridge, received orders, and held various preferments. In 1769 he formed an intimacy with Dr. Priestley, then Unitarian minister at Leeds, the result of which, combined with doubts which he had long previously entertained, was that Lind-sey surrendered his living in 1773, and made public profession of Unitarianism. He then went to London, and in April, 1774, began to officiate as a Unitarian minister in a room in Essex street. After four years his congregation erected a chapel for him, where he continued till age and failing health compelled him to resign in 1793. Among his writings are an apology for his abandonment of Anglicanism, and several controversial and historical works on Unitarianism. A memoir of his life, with extracts from his works, by the Rev. Thomas Belsham, was published in London in 1812.
