WARREN, Nathan Boughton, author, born in Troy, New York, 4 July, 1805. His grandfather and father removed from Norwalk, Connecticut, to Troy in 1798, and were successful merchants, and from them he inherited an independent fortune. He was educated privately, visited England with Bishop Doane, of New Jersey, in 1841, and made a tour of the cathedrals, which suggested to him the idea of adapting the cathedral or choral service of the English church to the American Book of Common Prayer. These services were first introduced in 1844 into a mission church that was founded by his mother. He had a fine taste for music, composed some anthems, and received the degree of Mus. Doc. from Trinity college. He was also skilled in architecture, and designed his villa residence at Mount Ida, which is built in a chastely ornamented Gothic style. He published "The Order of Daily Service, with the Musical Notation as used in English Cathedral and Collegiate Churches. etc. " (New York, 1846); "The Ancient Plain Song of the Church " (1855) ; "The Holidays: Christmas, Easter, and Whitsuntide, their Social Festivities, Customs, and Carols" (1868); and "Hidden Treasure, or the Good St. Nicholas: a Goblin Story for Christmas" (1872).
