<p>Mant was educated at Winchester and Trinity, Oxford (B.A. 1797, M.A. 1799). At Oxford, he won the Chancellor’s prize for an English essay; he was a Fellow of Oriel, and for some time College Tutor. After taking Holy Orders, he was successively curate to his father, then of one or two other places; vicar of Coggeshall, Essex, 1810; Domestic Chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury, 1813; rector of St. Botolph, Bishopsgate, London, 1816, and East Horsley, 1818; Bishop of Killaloe, 1820; of Down and Connor, 1823; and of Dromore, 1842. He was also Bampton Lecturer in 1811.</p>
|
|
<p>Mant is known chiefly through his translations from Latin. <a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_e_l_ellerton_j.html" </a>, in his <em>Notes on Church Hymns</em>, 1881, said:</p>
|
|
<blockquote><p>Mant had little knowledge of hymns, and merely took those of the existing <em>Roman Breviary</em> as he found them; consequently he had to omit many, and so to alter others that they have in fact become different hymns; nor was he always happy in his manipulation of them. But his book has much good taste and devout feeling, and has fallen into undeserved neglect.</p></blockquote>
