SHIMEALL, Richard Cunningham (shim'-e-all), author, born in New York city in 1803 ; died there, 19 March, 1874. He was graduated at Columbia in 1821, and at the Protestant Episcopal general theological seminary in 1824, and the same year was ordained to the ministry. After officiating for ten years as rector of a Protestant Episcopal church, he united with the Reformed Dutch church, and still later with the Presbyterian church. Mr. Shimeall was a profound biblical scholar, and had a thorough knowledge of the Greek and Oriental languages. He adopted the views of the English Millenarians, and most of his works were upon subjects connected with the prophecies and their interpretation. His principal publications are "Age of the World as founded on Sacred Records" (New York, 1842) ; " The End of Prelacy" (1845); "Our Bible Chronology, Historic and Prophetic" (1859); " Christ's Second Coming" (1865); "Political Economy of Prophecy, with Special Reference to the History of the Church" (1866); "Prophetic Career and Destiny of Napoleon III." (1866); "Distinction between the Last Personal Antichrists and the Many Antichrists of Prophecy" (1868); "Unseen World: the Heavenly Blessedness, or where and what is Heaven ?." (1870).
