Incidents in The Life and Ministry of the Rev. Alex. R. C. Dallas - Rector of Wonston; Chaplain To The Right Reverend De. Sumner, Lord Bishop of Winchester and Honorary Secretary To The Society for Irish Church Missions To The Roman Catholics, written by his widow Ann Biscoe Dallas.

Alexander Robert Charles Dallas (1791–1869) was an author, Church of England minister and Rector of Wonston in Hampshire from 1828 to 1869, a member of the family that descended from James Dallas of Rosshire in Scotland.

He was born in Colchester, the son of a barrister, the Jamaican born Robert Charles Dallas (1754–1824). His grandfather, Dr. Robert Charles Dallas (1710–1769), was a doctor who amassed a fortune in Jamaica.

Dallas was educated at home to age 11, and then at a school in Kennington. Through his father, he became a clerk in the Treasury, in 1805. He went on to be a supplies officer during the Peninsular War. He was present at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.

Dallas married in 1818. He entered the Middle Temple to study law in 1819. He left soon, and in 1820 matriculated at Worcester College, Oxford, at age 28. There he encountered evangelicals, and did not complete a degree. He was ordained a deacon and then a priest in the Church of England in 1821, and became curate of Radley.
