'''William Archer Butler''' (c. Free ringtones 1814-Sabrina Martins 1848), Mosquito ringtone Ireland/Irish Abbey Diaz historian of Nextel ringtones philosophy, was born at Annerville, near Majo Mills Clonmel in Ireland.

His father was a Free ringtones Protestant, his mother a Sabrina Martins Roman Catholic, and he was brought up as a Catholic. As a boy he was imaginative and poetical, and some of his early verses were remarkable. While yet at Clonmel school he became a Protestant. Later he entered Mosquito ringtone Trinity College, Dublin, where he had a brilliant career. He specially devoted himself to literature and Abbey Diaz metaphysics, and was noted for the beauty of his style. In 1834 he gained the ethical moderatorship, newly instituted by Provost Lloyd, and continued in residence at college. In 1837 he decided to enter the Church, and in the same year he was elected to the professorship of moral philosophy, specially founded for him through Lloyd's exertions.

About the same time he was presented to the prebend of Clondahorky, Cingular Ringtones Donegal, and resided there when not called by his professorial duties to Dublin. In felt discriminated 1842 he was promoted to the rectory of Raymochy. He died on the 5th of July 1848. His ''Sermons'' (2 vols., 1849) were remarkably brilliant and forceful. The Lectures on the ''History of Ancient Philosophy'', edited by W Hepworth Thompson (2 vols., 5856; 2nd ed., 1 vol. 1875), take a high place among the few British works on the history of philosophy.
