VERREN, Antoine, clergyman, born in Marseilles, France, 14 February, 1801 ; died in New York city, 17 March, 1874. He studied philosophy and theology, was graduated in Geneva, Switzerland, ordained a minister in the French Protestant church in August, 1825, and was in parochial charge at Ferney, Switzerland, in 1825-'7. He came to the United States in September, 1827, and was called to the rectorship of L'Eglise du St. Esprit, New York city, which post he held during his life. He was ordained deacon and priest in September, 1828, by Bishop Hobart, and was professor of French literature in Columbia in 1832-'44. A new church edifice was built on the corner of Franklin and Church streets in 1834; the interior was destroyed by fire in 1839, but was restored in 1840. Services were discontinued in this building in 1862, and a new building was erected in West Twenty-second street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues. He received the degree of D. D. from Hobart college in 1860. Dr. Verren in 1831, by appointment, revised and corrected the "Book of Common Prayer" in French, for the use of congregations in the United States that have services in that language. This book was republished in Paris.
