張鱗，字小軒，浙江長興人。 Zhang Lin, whose style was Xiaoxuan, came from Changxing in Zhejiang.

仁宗臨幸翰林院，鱗獻詩冊，被恩賚。 When Emperor Renzong visited the Hanlin Academy, Lin presented a volume of poetry and received imperial gifts.

二十年，選翰林官入直懋勤殿，纂輯秘殿珠林、石渠寶笈，鱗與焉。 In 1815 he was selected as a Hanlin official for duty at the Maojin Hall to compile the Secret Hall Pearl Forest and the Stone Canal Precious Collection; Lin took part.

福建縣丞秦師韓控訐總督程祖洛，侍郎趙盛奎偕鱗同案鞫，白其誣，師韓遣戍。 County Assistant Qin Shihan of Fujian accused Governor Cheng Zuluo. Vice Minister Zhao Shengkui and Lin jointly heard the case, cleared the governor of the false charges, and sent Qin Shihan into exile.

鱗清廉儉素，杜絕乾謁。 Lin was upright, incorruptible, and frugal, and refused all improper solicitations.

論曰：宣宗最重文學廉謹之臣，辛從益直言獻納，張鱗廉介絕俗，沈維鐈服膺理學，程恩澤博物冠時，皆負清望。 The commentary states: Emperor Xuanzong most valued literary, incorrupt, and careful ministers. Xin Congyi spoke frankly in counsel, Zhang Lin was upright beyond the common run, Shen Weiqiao embraced Neo-Confucian learning, and Cheng Enze was unrivaled in breadth of learning—all enjoyed clear reputations.
