Lambert, Ralph D.D., a prelate of the Church of England, lived in the latter part of the 18th century. He was successively dean of Down, and bishop of Dromore and of Meath.

The date of his death, or other particulars of his life, are not at hand. — Allibone, Dict. Brit. and Amer. Authors, 2:1052 Reid, Hist. Irish Presb. Church, 3:38.
