MAYOR, JOHN EYTON BICKERSTETH (1825- ), English classical scholar, was born at Baddegama, Ceylon, on the 28th of January 1825, and educated in England at Shrewsbury School and St John's College, Cambridge. From 1863 to 1867 he was librarian of the university, and in 1872 succeeded H. A. J. Munro in the professorship of Latin. His best-known work, an edition of thirteen satires of Juvenal, is marked by an extraordinary wealth of illustrative quotations. His _Bibliographical Clue to Latin Literature_ (1873), based on E. Hübner's _Grundriss zu Vorlesungen über die römische Litteraturgeschichte_ is a valuable aid to the student, and his edition of Cicero's _Second Philippic_ is widely used. He also edited the English works of J. Fisher, bishop of Rochester, i. (1876); Thomas Baker's _History of St John's College, Cambridge_ (1869); Richard of Cirencester's _Speculum historiale de gestis regum Angliae 447-1066_ (1863-1869); Roger Ascham's _Schoolmaster_ (new ed., 1883); the _Latin Heptateuch_ (1889); and the _Journal of Philology_. His brother, JOSEPH BICKERSTETH MAYOR (1828- ), classical scholar and theologian, was educated at Rugby and St John's College, Cambridge, and from 1870 to 1879 was professor of classics at King's College, London. His most important classical works are an edition of Cicero's _De natura deorum_ (3 vols., 1880-1885) and _Guide to the Choice of Classical Books_ (3rd ed., 1885, with supplement, 1896). He also devoted attention to theological literature and edited the epistles of St James (2nd ed., 1892), St Jude and St Peter (1907), and the _Miscellanies_ of Clement of Alexandria (with F. J. A. Hort, 1902). From 1887 to 1893 he was editor of the _Classical Review_. His _Chapters on English Metre_ (1886) reached a second edition in 1901.
