The Life And Death Of Charles Buck
J. A. Jones, “Bunhill Memorials: Sacred Reminiscences Of Three Hundred Ministers And Other Persons Of Note, Who Are Buried In Bunhill Fields, Of Every Denomination” (1849):[1]
Charles Buck, Independent. Sacred to the memory of the Rev. Charles Buck, who departed this life August 11th, 1815, in the 44th year of his age. If an enlarged knowledge of the doctrines of grace, accompanied with unaffected humility of mind; if a tender conscience for sinners at large, and an unremitting attention to his own flock; if a steady attachment to his own principles of religion, and a liberality of sentiment towards other Christians; if an assiduous application of peculiar talents, and the publication of many useful volumes, be characteristic of an eminent Christian, and a faithful minister of Christ—he was one.
Head Stone E. and W. 36,—N. and S. 28,29.

Charles Buck (1771-1815) was an English Independent minister, best known for the publication of his “Theological Dictionary”. According to the “Dictionary of National Biography”, a Particular Baptist minister named John C. Ryland (1723-1792) assisted Buck by writing many of the articles for the aforementioned publication. One may conclude, based not only Buck’s admiration for his friend Ryland, but also on the entries in his Theological Dictionary, that he stood head and shoulders with the High-Calvinists of his day.
