bishop philanthropist statesman prelate
He was born at Clapham, Surrey, September 7, 1805, the son of the statesman and philanthropist William Wilberforce.
In 1823 he entered Oriel College, Oxford.
He graduated in 1826, taking a first class in mathematics and a second in classics.
In 1838 Wilberforce published, with his elder brother Robert, the Life of his father, and two years later his father's Correspondence.
In 1839 he also published Euckaristica (from the old English divines), to which he wrote an introduction, Agathos and other Sunday Stories, and a volume of University Sermons, and in the following year Rocky Island and other Parables.
The set of friends with whom he chiefly associated at Oxford were sometimes named, on account of their exceptionally decorous conduct, the 44 Bethel Union but he was by no means averse to amusements, and specially delighted in hurdle jumping and hunting.
At the close of 1837 he published the Letters and Journals of Henry Martyn.
In 1844 appeared his History of the American Church.
With his brother, he wrote the five-volume Life of William Wilberforce in 1838; by himself, he edited the Correspondence of his father in 1840.
In March of the following year he accepted the deanery of Westminster, and in October the bishopric of Oxford. The bishop in 1847 became involved in the Hampden controversy, and signed the remonstrance of the thirteen bishops to Lord John Russell against Hampden's appointment to the bishopric of Hereford.
He also endeavoured to obtain satisfactory assurances from Hampden; but, though unsuccessful in this, he withdrew from the suit against him.
His diary reveals a tender and devout private life which has been overlooked by those who have only considered the versatile facility and persuasive expediency that marked the successful public career of the bishop, and earned] him the sobriquet of 44 Soapy Sam. "
The great bent of his energies was ceaselessly directed to the better organization of his diocese and to the furtherance of schemes for increasing the influence and efficiency of the church.
In 1867 he framed the first Report of the Ritualistic Commission, in which coercive measures against ritualism were discountenanced by the use of the word 44 restrain " instead of 44 abolish " or 44 prohibit. "
He also endeavoured to take the sting out of some resolutions of the second Ritualistic Commission in 1868, and was one of the four who signed the Report with qualifications.
Though strongly opposed to the disestablishment of the Irish Church, yet, when the constituencies decided for it, he advised that no opposition should be made to it by the House of Lords.
After twenty-four years' labour in the diocese of Oxford, he wras translated by Gladstone to the bishopric of Winchester.
The eldest, Reginald Garl on Wilberforce, being the author of An Unrecorded Chapter of the Indian Mutiny (1894).
Ernest Roland Wilberforce (1840- 1908) was bishop of Newcastle-on-Tyne from 1882 to 1895, and bishop of Chichester from 1895 till his death.
Albert Basil Orme Wilberforce (b. 1841) was appointed canon residentiary of Westminster in 1894, chaplain of the House of Commons in 1896 and archdeacon of Westminster in 1900; he has published several volumes of sermons.

(Life of William Wilberforce Classic Reprint)
The secession to the Church of Rome of his brother-in-law, Archdeacon (afterwards Cardinal) Manning, and then of his brothers, as well as his only daughter and his son-in-law, Mr and Mrs J. H. Pye, brought him under further suspicion, and his revival of the powers of convocation lessened his influence at court; but his unfailing tact and wide sympathies,
In the " United Debating Society, " which afterwards developed into the 44 Union, " he distinguished himself as a zealous advocate of liberalism.
He was a member of the Fellow of the Royal Society.
He was a member of the Canterbury Association on 27 March 1848.
His marvellous energy in church organization, the magnetism of his personality, and his eloquence both 011 the platform and in the pulpit, gradually won for him recognition as without a rival on the episcopal bench.
On 11 June 1828 he was married to Emily Sargent, daughter of John Sargent. Wilberforce left three sons.
The eldest, Reginald, was the author of An Unrecorded Chapter of the Indian Mutiny (1894), criticised by his fellow officers of the 52nd Foot for its inaccuracy.
Reginald was grandfather (through his fourth son, judge Samuel) to Richard Lord Wilberforce, a Lord of Appeal.
His two younger sons both attained distinction in the English church. Ernest (1840–1908) was Bishop of Newcastle-upon-Tyne from 1882 to 1895, and Bishop of Chichester from 1895 till his death. Basil (1841–1916) was appointed canon residentiary of Westminster in 1894, chaplain of the House of Commons in 1896 and Archdeacon of Westminster in 1900; he published several volumes of sermons.
