ETHERIDGE, John Wesley, English nonconformist clergyman: b. near Newport, Isle of Wight, 24 Feb. 1804; d. Camborne, 24 May 1866. He was educated by his father and later acquired a thorough knowledge of Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Syriac, German and French. In 1826 he attempted to enter the ministry and after a period of probation was received in full connection at the conference of 1831. Thereafter he spent two years at Brighton, when he removed to Cornwall. In 1838 his health began to fail and he was pensioned and went to live at Caen and Paris. His health improving, he accepted the pastorship of a Methodist church at Boulogne in 1842. Four years later he returned to his native land and was successively on the circuits of Islington, Bristol, Leeds, Penzance, Penryn, Truro and Saint Austell in Cornwall. Heidelberg conferred on him the degree of Ph.D. He published (The Apostolic Ministry and the Question of Its Restoration Considered) (1836) ; (Misericordia, or Contemplations of the Mercy of God) (1842): (Horae Aramaicae) (1843); (The Syrian Churches: Their Early History, Liturgies and Literature) (1846) (The Apostolical Acts and Epistles from the Peschitto, or Ancient Syriac, to which are Added the Remaining Epistles and Book of Revelation from a later Syriac Text) (1849); (The Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan ben Uzziel on the Pentateuch, with the Fragments of the Jerusalem Targum) (2 vols., 1863); (Life of Rev.
