Newdigate Prize for poetry (1845)
Courte biographie
Burgon's claim to fame, among the non-theological at any rate, is his Newdigate Prize poem Petra. The long poem, in rhymed couplets, is rarely read but lives because of the oft-quoted last two lines -

Match me such marvel save in Eastern clime,
a rose-red city half as old as time.

Despite his Middle-Eastern birth, Burgon had never seen Petra.
The poem was parodied by Peter Sellers in his Balham sketch, ending "a Rose-red city half as Golders Green."

This book is must read for those seeking to understand the error Wescott & Hort Theory of textual criticism which is the theory used for most modern day new testament translations of the bible.

Burgon, John William, The Revision Revised (Paradise, PA: Conservative Classics, 1978). 10125
"This book is the most complete and detailed attack on the Minority Text of Westcott-Hort in print. Burgon established by disputed passages the subjective method of the revisers. This book is a treasure house of arguments against liberal attacks upon the Word of God." -- GCB
