Hearne, Thomas, a noted English antiquary, born in White Waltham, Berks; graduated at Oxford in 1699, and subsequently became second keeper of the Bodleian Library; his compilations and editions of old English texts, e. g. Camden's “Annals,” Robert of Gloucester's “Chronicle,” display wide and ingenious scholarship; he figures in Pope's “Dunciad” (1678‒1735).
