'''{{Style S-Small capitals|Cassels, Walter Richard}}'''. English theological critic, b. London, Sept. 4, 1826; d. 1907. Belonged to a mercantile family. Early literary aptitude; became connected as partner with firm of Peel, Cassels and Co., at Bombay, until 1865. Active in legislative council of Bombay, 1863-65. Returned to London to live. Published in 1874 anonymously two vols, of *''Supernatural Religion; an Inquiry into the Reality of Divine Revelation'', impugning credibility of miracles and authenticity of New Testament; aroused instant attention; credited with high scholarship. Work had six editions by 1875. A third vol. was added in 1877; a rev. ed. of the complete work appeared in 1879. Lively controversy ensued with Joseph Barber Lightfoot, 1874 to 1889, though no one knew one of the parties was Cassels. | |||
