The basis of the present collection of His- 
 torical Tracts was a group of State pamphlets 
 in forty volumes, gathered by Sir John 
 Bramston, M.P. (1611-1 700), Chairman of 
 Committees in the House of Commons in the 
 early years of Charles II.'s reign. The Auto- 
 biography of Sir John Bramston was printed 
 by the Camden Society in 1845. The col- 
 lection as it now stands is rich in Civil War 
 and Commonwealth Tracts. It represents 
 vividly the conflict of opinion at the Restora- 
 tion and at the Revolution of 1688. The 
 military conflicts, political intrigues, and theo- 
 logical controversies which marked the reigns 
 of William HI. and Queen Anne are thrown 
 into relief by many rare and forgotten 
 brochures. The civil and religious struggles 
 for liberty and toleration which took place in 
 the Georgian Era are reflected as in a mirror 
 by many curious manifestoes. The whole 
 collection illustrates the growth of opinion in 
 matters religious, political, literary, and social, 
 from the days of Queen Elizabeth to the dawn 
 of the nineteenth century,

 took steps to have the fine remitted, and Baxter was 
 pardoned by James II. His * Key for Catholicks '

 Henry Sacheverell, D.D. (1672-1724). Educated at 
 Magdalen College, Oxford, where he became tutor. 
 Took Orders, and in 1705 obtained the living of St. 
 Saviour's, Southwark. Four years later he preached 
 his two memorable sermons — one at Derby and the 
 other in St. Paul's Cathedral. In them he advocated, 
 as an uncompromising Tory, the duty of non-resist- 
 ance. This so incensed the Whigs, who were then 
 in power, that they brought him to trial for pub- 
 lishing scandalous and seditious libels. Dr. Sache- 
 verell was suspended for three years, and his ser- 
 mons were burnt by the common hangman. Terrible 
 riots ensued, as well as a violent controversy by 
 pamphlets, and the result was that the Whigs were 
 turned out of office. The silenced preacher, though 
 quite unworthy of such an honour, was looked upon 
 by the populace as a hero and a martyr. Dr. 
 Sacheverell in his closing days was rector of St. 
 Andrew's, Holborn.

 I. The Importance of Dunkirk Con-

 7*\ By M"^ Steele. Third edition. 
 
 Sir Richard Steele (1671-1729). Essayist and 
 dramatic writer. Educated at the Charterhouse 
 and at Oxford. Obtained a commission in the 
 Guards and wrote ' The Christian Hero,' which he 
 dedicated to Lord Cutts — Salamander Cutts, Marl- 
 borough's famous lieutenant — who appointed him 
 his secretary and got him a captain's commission in 
 the Fusiliers. In 1709 Steele, with the assistance of 
 Addison, established the * Tatler ; ' he had previously 
 won renown as a playwright. There is no need 
 here to speak of the * Spectator ' or the ' Guardian,' 
 in both of which literary adventures Steele had 
 Addison for his collaborator. In 1709 he entered 
 Parliament, from which he was expelled because of 
 his pamphlets, ' The Englishman ' and * The Crisis.' 
 On the accession of George I. he was knighted and 
 re-elected to Parliament, and on the suppression of 
 the Jacobite Rebellion in 1 7 1 5 was appointed one 
 of the Commissioners of Forfeited Estates in Scot- 
 land. In 1722 his play, ' The Conscious Lovers,' 
 was acted with great success, but shortly afterwards 
 a paralytic seizure compelled him to abandon his 
 political projects and literary work, and he died at

 Educated at Christ Church, Oxford. Entered 
 Parliament 1701 and joined the Tories under 
 Harley. When the latter was appointed Secretary 
 of State in 1706, St. John was made Secretary for 
 War, a position in which he was succeeded in 1708 
 by Sir Robert Walpole. When the Tories returned 
 to power after the Sacheverell Riots, St. John 
 became Secretary of State. He was created 
 Viscount Bolingbroke in 17 12, and fell from power 
 on the death of Anne. He was impeached and fled 
 to France in 1715, and in the autumn of that year 
 his name was struck off the list of peers and sentence 
 of banishment passed upon him. For a time he was 
 in the service of the Pretender, but returned to 
 England in 1723, and joined the opposition against 
 Walpole. The closing years of his life were spent 
 in philosophical retirement, and it was then that he 
 wrote his political and historical work.

 Sir Francis Walsingham is supposed to have been born 
 at the Manor House, Chislehurst, Kent, the home 
 of Mrs. Peter Redpath, the donor of these ' His- 
 torical Tracts' (1530-1590). Walsingham, one of 
 the great statesmen of Elizabeth's reign, united a 
 
 * fidelity, diligence, and caution ' in public affairs. 
 He exerted himself to obtain toleration for the 
 Puritans, and he prevented a quarrel between 
 Elizabeth and her successor. It was said of him 
 that his conversation was insinuating and reserved ; 
 he saw every man and none saw him. Walsingham 
 was always in favour of the colonial expansion of 
 England.

 John Henley (1692-1756), commonly called Orator 
 Henley. Educated at St. John's College, Cam- 
 bridge, Took Orders. Chilled by lack of prefer- 
 ment, he commenced the delivery in London of 
 orations on theology, politics, society and the like, 
 and these appearances he continued for nearly thirty 
 years, until he became one of the most talked of 
 people in the town. Pope scoffed at him in the 
 * Dunciad ' and Hogarth satirised him in his 
 cartoons. He published sermons, poems, letters, 
 translations, and at one time edited a weekly paper.

 is said to be the original of 'Hudibras,' a coarse but 
 clever satire of the Presbyterians and Independents, 
 the first part of which appeared in 1663 and the 
 last in 1678. Hallam asserts that ' Hudibras' was 
 * incomparably more popular at the time of its publi- 
 cation than " Paradise Lost." ' Passages from it were 
 often on the lips of Charles II., who was always glad 
 to banter at the Puritans.

 Rivers ; a poet, the story of whose life has been told 
 by Dr. Johnson in a classic short biography. Author 
 of the tragedy of 'Sir Thomas Overbury' (1723), 
 'The Wanderer' (1729), and other now forgotten 
 poems. Johnson's biography was first published in

 at Bristol.

 Alexander Pope (1688-1744). Son of a wealthy 
 London linendraper, and born in Lombard Street, 
 E.G. His parents were Roman Catholics, and 
 Pope was privately educated by a priest, but was 
 never in any real sense a scholar, in spite of his 
 wide acquaintance with English literature. ' Voltaire 
 declared that Pope could hardly read or speak a 
 word of French, and his knowledge of Greek would 
 have satisfied Bentley as little as his French satisfied 
 
J5i6f oticaf txacU* 1561-1800 435 
 
 Voltaire. ' He wrote his * Pastorals ' at sixteen, and 
 his 'Essay on Criticism' at twenty- three, and in 
 rapid succession ' The Ode on Cecilia's Day,' ' The 
 Rape of the Lock,' ' Eloisa to Abelard,' 'Windsor 
 Forest,' and other poems. He then undertook to 
 publish his translation of the ' Iliad ' by subscription, 
 and the result brought him fortune as well as fame, 
 the six volumes of which were published between 
 17 1 5 and 1720. In 1 7 18 he purchased his villa at 
 Twickenham, his home for the last twenty-five 
 years of his life. The ' Iliad ' was followed by a 
 translation of * The Odyssey ' and that in turn by 
 his mock heroic poem 'The Dunciad' (1727) — a 
 pillory for people who had given him offence. It 
 was followed by ' The Essay on Man,' written at 
 the suggestion of Lord Bolingbroke, by the ' Moral 
 Epistles,' and the * Letters.'

 He was the intimate friend of Archbishop Seeker

 air Dr. Chandler insisted that the Articles of the 
 Church should be expressed in Scripture terms 
 exclusively, that the Athanasian Creed should be 
 dropped, and was willing to adopt episcopal ordina- 
 tion provided it was distinctly recognised that no 
 slur was cast, by such submission, on previous 
 Orders. Dr. Chandler's chief works are 'Vindi- 
 cation of the Christian Religion' (1728), and *A 
 Critical History of the Life of David ' (1766).

 1737 
 John Porteous, Captain of the City Guard of Edin- 
 burgh, whose name lives in history in connection 
 with the Porteous riots. He was in command of 
 the Guard at the execution of a notorious smuggler 
 in Edinburgh, in April 1736. The criminal had 
 won the sympathies of the crowd by planning the 
 successful escape of a fellow-prisoner. After the 
 execution the mob attacked the authorities, and 
 Captain Porteous lost his self-control and ordered 
 his soldiers to fire on the people, which they did 
 with deadly effect. He was tried, found guilty of 
 murder, and sentenced to death, but the Govern-

 ment intervened with a reprieve. The Edinburgh 
 people were greatly incensed at such clemency, and 
 on September 7, 1736, the day originally appointed 
 for his execution, they seized Porteous at the 
 Tolbooth and hung him in the Grass Market. Sir 
 Walter Scott has dealt inimitably with the subject 
 in 'The Heart of Midlothian.'

 Philip Barretier. 
 
 Written by Dr. Johnson at the age of thirty-one for the 
 * Gentleman's Magazine.* Barretier died at the age 
 of twenty, in 1740, with an extraordinary reputation 
 for scholarship. When only nine he knew French, 
 German, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. His scholar- 
 ship in other directions was so remarkable that the 
 University of Halle offered him the degree of Doctor 
 of Philosophy quite early in his teens. He was 
 deeply versed in mathematics, but his favourite 
 subject was astronomy.

 8. An Account of Money Received and

 George Whitefield, M.A. (1714-1770). Son of an 
 innkeeper at Bristol. Educated at Pembroke 
 College, Oxford, where he became one of a group of 
 young men who were scoffingly called * Methodists.' 
 He was ordained at twenty-one by the Bishop of 
 Gloucester, and after holding for a short time a 
 curacy in London, found his true vocation as a 
 travelling evangelist and field -preacher. He lived 
 in the dull Georgian era when Arianism was fashion- 
 able and formalism and apathy prevailed ; and no 
 man except John Wesley did more to create the 
 Evangelical revival and to bring about a reformation 
 of morals. Whitefield was a mystic with a passion 
 for hard work, who did not so much possess religion 
 as was possessed by it. He was a great orator with 
 high dramatic instincts, but his strength lay in his 
 
^iefoticdf txacU. 1561-1800 46 
 
 vision of unseen realities and in the wistful com- 
 passion which made his tender appeals resistless. 
 He believed in lifting up as well as in looking up, and, 
 like C. H. Spurgeon, was a princely and sagacious 
 philanthropist as well as an acknowledged master of 
 assemblies. He crossed the Atlantic seven times 
 before the age of steam, in order, as he put it, to 
 preach in * ungospelised wilds,' and it is not too 
 much to say, by his missionary labours and his care 
 of orphan children, he made the Anglo-Saxon race 
 his debtors. He died at fifty-six after thirty years 
 of ceaseless labour, and the end found him as he 
 had always wished, in harness.

 I. The History of Francis-Eugene 
 
 Prince of Savoy. ... By an English Officer. 
 
 Fran9ois Eugene of Savoy (1663-1736). Grandson of 
 the Duke of Savoy. The vocation chosen for him 
 was the Church. Louis XIV. always spoke of him 
 as the * Little Priest. ' Full of military ardour. 
 Prince Eugene, when refused a commission in the 
 French Army, entered the service of the Emperor 
 Leopold as a volunteer against the Turks, and by 
 his courage and abiUty rapidly rose in rank. In the 
 Coalition War Louis XIV. had good reason to regret 
 the indignity he had put upon Prince Eugene, and 
 he offered him a Marshal's baton and a pension if 
 he would come to the help of his native land, but 
 both offers were declined. The part which he 
 played in the War of the Spanish Succession is a 
 matter of history, and he, quite as much as Marl- 
 borough, gained the brilliant victories of Blenheim 
 
462 (8trB. (ptUx (gcbpAfra 
 
 (1704), Oudenarde (1708), and Malplaquet (1709). 
 Bishop Hare, who accompanied Marlborough as 
 Chaplain-General through his campaigns, said in 
 his unpublished journal— it is amongst the literary 
 archives of Blenheim Palace— that it was easier for 
 Prince Eugene to do great things than talk about 
 them.

 John Glas (1695-1773). Originally a Presbyterian 
 minister, who was suspended for holding heretical 
 
^idoxk<x( txuU. 1561-18CX) 463 
 
 opinions, the nature of which is in part revealed by 
 his protest against Establishments in religion as in - 
 consistent with the New Testament. He founded in 
 1728 the sect at first called Glassites. Their doctrines 
 were expanded by his son-in-law and successor, 
 Robert Sandeman (1718-1771), who revived certain 
 customs of the primitive Church. The sect now 
 called the Sandemanians established itself both in 
 England and the United States, but is now almost 
 extinct. Its most distinguished adherent in the 
 last century was the illustrious chemist Professor 
 Michael Faraday, F.R.S. (1791-1867).

 Algernon Sidney (i 620- 1683). Second son of Robert, 
 Earl of Leicester, English patriot. Adopted a 
 military career, and won his spurs in the Irish 
 Rebellion under his brother, Philip Sidney, Lord 
 Lisle. Took the side of the Commons in the Civil 
 War, and in several actions was distinguished for 
 valour. Vindicated the execution of Charles L ; 
 but during the Commonwealth retired to Penshurst, 
 where he wrote his • Discourses on Government. ' 
 In 1659 was sent as a Commissioner to mediate 
 between Denmark and Sweden, and, the Restoration 
 taking place in the following year, he remained 
 abroad till 1677, when he received a pardon and 
 returned. He was charged with Lord William 
 Russell in 1683 with complicity in the so-called 
 Rye- House Plot, and, though the evidence against 
 him was inconclusive, he was sentenced by Judge 
 Jeffreys to death and executed on Tower Hill 
 December 7, 1683. His last words on the scaffold 
 are here recovered from a contemporary pamphlet : 
 • The Lord sanctify these Sufferings to me, and, 
 though I fall as a sacrifice unto Idols, suffer not 
 
 H H

 William Warburton, D.D. (1698- 1 779). In early life 
 practised as an attorney at Newark, but took Orders in 
 1723, and after holding minor appointments became 
 Dean of Bristol (1757), Bishop of Gloucester (1759), 
 and was also Chaplain-in-Ordinary to George II. 
 His chief writings are ' The Alliance between Church 
 and State ; or, the Necessity and Equity of an Esta- 
 blished Religion and Test Law,' a book which 
 passed through several editions, but which gave 
 satisfaction neither to Anglicans nor Nonconformists ; 
 but still more celebrated is * The Divine Legation of 
 Moses demonstrated on the Principles of a Religious 
 Deist,' a book which made as great a sensation in 
 its day in theological circles as Seeley's * Ecce 
 Homo,' or Renan's * Vie de Jesus.' Lord Jeffrey 
 described it as the most learned and the most 
 arrogant book of the century ; and Dr. Johnson, 
 whilst admitting that Warburton possessed the 
 powers of the scholar, the reasoner, and the wit, laid 
 stress on his vehemence and the manner in which 
 he treated his adversaries with contemptuous 
 superiority.

 4. The Free-Holder, or Political 
 
 Essays. By the Rt. Hon. Joseph Addison 
 
 Esq. Seventh edition. 
 
 Joseph Addison (1672- 17 19). Educated at the 
 Charterhouse and Magdalen College, Oxford. After 
 leaving Oxford, Addison became acquainted first 
 with the Earl of Halifax and then with Lord Somers, 
 and through the influence of the latter received a 
 pension of 300/. It was his poem * The Campaign,' 
 written in 1704, just after the battle of Blenheim, at 
 the suggestion of Lord Godolphin, that brought him 
 into reputation, and in 1708 he entered Parliament 
 and was appointed Under-Secretary of State. In 
 the same year. Lord Wharton, then Lord-Lieutenant 
 of Ireland, appointed him his Chief Secretary, and 
 whilst in Ireland Addison wrote his contributions to 
 
J^tBtoncaf €tdct0f 1561-1800 487 
 
 * The Tatler,' a periodical which his old friend 
 Richard Steele had just started. On the fall of the 
 Whigs in 17 10, Addison, thrown out of office, gave 
 himself more exclusively to literature, and wrote 
 some strong party articles in the Whig • Examiner.' 
 In March 1 7 1 1 the * Spectator ' was started by 
 Steele and himself, and from that time to December 
 1 7 14, when it ceased, Addison held the chief place of 
 honour in its pages. His tragedy of ' Cato ' was 
 put on the stage in 171 3, and, as it appealed to party 
 feeling, which at the moment ran high, it was a 
 dramatic triumph. On the accession of George I. 
 Addison again became Chief Secretary in Ireland, 
 and in 1715 published 'The Freeholder,' perhaps 
 the most important of his political writings. The 
 first number was issued on December 23, 1715 ; it 
 ran to fifty-five, the last of which appeared on 
 June 29, 1716. It was a defence of the Hanoverian 
 succession against the Jacobites, who were then 
 plotting to overthrow George I. In 17 16, Addison, 
 who had been further rewarded for his political 
 services, married the Dowager Countess of Warwick, 
 and in 1717 became Secretary of State. A year 
 later, in failing health and with embittered temper — 
 his marriage was unhappy— he quitted office with a 
 pension of i , 500/. a year. His last years were further 
 embittered by a quarrel with Steele, whom he 
 attacked in the pages of 'The Old Whig.' He 
 died June 17, 17 19, at Holland House, and was 
 buried in Westminster Abbey. He lives in litera- 
 ture as a great literary artist, a master not merely of 
 clear, direct statement, but of humour and all the 
 resources of style.

 Oration at his Interment, By Samuel Chandler. 
 2"*^ edition. 
 
 Isaac Watts, D.D. (i 674-1748). Independent 
 minister, and greatest of English hymn-writers. 
 Born in Southampton, educated in London. In 
 1696 became tutor in the family of Sir John 
 Hartopp, Stoke Newington. Two years later was 
 chosen assistant to Dr. Chauncey, minister of the 
 Independent Church, Mark Lane, London, whom 
 he succeeded in 1702. His health, always pre- 
 carious, led him to visit his friend Sir Thomas 
 Abney at Theobalds, Essex, where he remained an 
 honoured guest for thirty- six years, preaching when 
 able, and devoting himself to literary work. Dr. 
 Johnson wrote his life, and in it he says, * Every 
 man acquainted with the common principles of 
 human action will look with veneration on Watts, 
 who was at one time combating Locke, and at 
 another making a catechism for children in their 
 fourth year. A voluntary descent from the dignity 
 of science is perhaps the hardest lesson that 
 humility can teach.' Dr. Johnson extols in Watts 
 the union of orthodoxy with charity. His * Logic,' 
 though once a text-book at Oxford, is forgotten, his 
 •Improvement of the Mind,' though once widely 
 read, is neglected, but the best of his hymns are 
 immortal.

 I, The English Pericles ; or, The four 
 Qualifications necessary to make a True 
 Statesman, exemplified in the Character and 
 Conduct of M"" Secretary Pitt. [c. 1750] 
 
 William Pitt, Earl of Chatham (i 708-1 778). Cornish 
 by birth. The elder Pitt studied at Eton and 
 Oxford, entered the Army, but soon turned aside 
 to politics, becoming at the age of twenty-six M.P. 
 for Old Sarum. He quickly came to the front 
 as an opponent of Sir Robert Walpole, and * Old 
 Marlborough,' as Horace Walpole called Sarah, 
 Duchess, who hated Sir Robert, bequeathed to Pitt 
 in 1744 a legacy of io,cxx)/. After holding other 
 appointments Pitt became Secretary of State in 
 1756, and in the Newcastle Cabinet of the follow- 
 ing year, which he virtually ruled, he held the same 
 post in spite of the King's hostility to him. On the 
 accession of George HI. the jealousy of Lord Bute, 
 who presently became Premier, kept Pitt out of 
 office, but his ascendency in Parliament and power 
 in the country grew all the more pronounced. He 
 re-entered the Cabinet in the Grafton Ministry (1767), 
 and was raised to the Peerage as Earl of Chatham. 
 During Lord North's Ministry, when tyrannical 
 measures against Wilkes at home and the American 
 
J^tBtoricaf txuU* 1561-1800 505 
 
 colonists abroad were in progress, Chatham was 
 relentless in his attacks. When, however, he 
 realised that the war in America had led the 
 colonists to determine on complete independence, 
 Chatham threw his influence in the opposite scale. 
 He spoke for the last time in Parliament on 
 April 7, 1778, and fell down in a fit. He died on 
 May 1 1 in that year. His epitaph in Westminster 
 Abbey gathers up his political claims into a phrase 
 when it states that he raised the nation ' to a height 
 of prosperity and glory unknown to any former age. '

 4. M'' Hoyle's Games of Whist, Quad-

 16*^ edition. [r. 1750] 
 
 The primitive stage of whist may be roughly said to have 
 extended between the dawn of the sixteenth century 
 and the early Georgian era. Whist is of English 
 origin, but a good deal of obscurity clouds its birth. 
 Before Edmund Hoyle (1672- 1769) arose to render 
 it fashionable, it was ignored in polite circles. It 
 came to be the vogue with the growth in the reign 
 of George II. of more or less intellectual coteries at 
 the coffee taverns, which bulk so largely in the 
 
5o8 (8ttB. (pdtt (gt'i>9At^*B 
 
 literary annals of the eighteenth century. It was 
 winning its way to social recognition with the 
 classes when Dr. Johnson was busy with the 
 * Rambler,' and there are familiar allusions to it in 
 that journal in 1750, and in the * Gentleman's 
 Magazine' of 1755. Edmund Hoyle remained the 
 unchallenged autocrat of the whist table from 1730 
 to i860, when ' Cavendish ' and other philosophical 
 masters arose to turn the pastime into a science 
 precious to the elect.

 Lord Elibank. He was an ardent Jacobite, and was 
 sent to Newgate for his violent conduct at the West- 
 minster Election of 1750. He was a friend of David 
 Hume, lived much abroad, and died in 1777.

 4. An Enquiry into the Causes of the 
 late Increase of Robbers &c., with some

 ... By Henry Fielding. 
 
 Henry Fielding (i 707-1754). Born at Sharpham 
 Park, Somersetshire ; died at Lisbon, whither he had 
 gone in search of health. He was the son of one of 
 Marlborough's officers, and was educated first at 
 Eton and then at Leyden. In early manhood 
 Fielding wrote with indifferent success for the stage. 
 In 1734 he fell in love with and married a reigning 
 beauty, Miss Charlotte Cradock, who is said to have 
 been the original of Amelia, whom Dr. Johnson 
 called the most pleasing of all the heroines of 
 romance. With his marriage Fielding's circum- 
 stances improved, and shortly afterwards he came 
 into possession of about 200/. a year through the 
 death of his mother. The young couple retired to 
 the country, but soon ran through their means, and 
 Fielding, on his return to London, had now to 
 choose, as he put it, between being a hackney 
 writer or a hackney coachman, and, as he had a full 
 head as well as an empty pocket, he chose the 
 former. He edited a periodical journal, • The 
 Champion,' in 1739, was called to the Bar, and 
 oddly enough became manager of the Haymarket 
 Theatre. His great novels— so great that they 
 mark an epoch in the history of fiction— appeared 
 in rapid succession. * Joseph Andrews ' was the 
 first (1742), and was provoked by Fielding's con- 
 tempt for Richardson's * Pamela,' which had taken 
 the town by storm in 1740. * Tom Jones ' appeared 
 in 1749 and 'Amelia' in 1751. Fielding mean- 
 while wrote much as a Whig journalist, and he had 
 previously written twenty-five plays besides other 
 works, notably * Jonathan Wild. ' Sir Walter Scott 
 termed Fielding the first of British novelists. Byron 
 called him the prose Homer of human nature ; whilst 
 
5IO (&txfi. Qpefet Q?ebi)df^*0 
 
 his great contemporary and rival, Smollett, thought 
 that the genius of Cervantes must have passed into 
 his possession, since he wrote with equal strength and 
 humour.

 Henry St. John, Viscount Bolingbroke ( 1678- 1 751). 
 Educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford. En- 
 tered Parliament in 170 1 and took sides with Harley 
 and the Tories. When the latter became Secretary of 
 
512 (Btt0. Qpefet QRtebpat^^fi 
 
 State in 1704 St. John was appointed Secretary for 
 War, and the two quitted office together in 1708, 
 only, however, to return in triumph after the 
 Sacheverell episode, which brought the Tories back 
 to power in 17 10. St. John was now Secretary of 
 State. Harley was created Earl of Oxford (171 1) 
 and St. John Viscount Bolingbroke (17 12), and the 
 relations between them were soon strained. Queen 
 Anne dismissed Oxford on July 2, 17 14, but 
 Bolingbroke's triumph was short-lived, for the Queen 
 died on August i. He had intrigued deeply with 
 the Jacobites, and was at heart opposed to the 
 Hanoverian succession. Shrewsbury triumphed at 
 the Council, and Bolingbroke fled to France. In 
 1723 he was allowed to return, though excluded 
 from the House of Lords, and did his best through 
 political intrigue, of which he was a master, and 
 political journalism, in which he also excelled, to 
 damage Walpole's reputation. He subsequently 
 withdrew again to France, but spent the closing 
 years of his life at his villa in Battersea. His chief 
 works are 'Letters on the Study of History,' 
 • Remarks on the History of England,' * A Disserta- 
 tion upon Parties,' and the * Idea of a Patriot King.' 
 He was brilliant, able, unscrupulous, and in the end 
 unsuccessful.

 committed to the Tower in 1763. He claimed 
 privilege, and on his release retired to Paris. He 
 was afterwards outlawed for printing an indecent 
 poem. In 1768 he was, however, elected M.P. for 
 Middlesex, but was prevented from taking his seat 
 and sent to prison, a course which resulted in 
 serious riots. He was four times re-elected for

 Horace Walpole, Earl of Orford (171 7-i 797). Youngest 
 son of Sir Robert Walpole. Educated at Eton and 
 King's College, Cambridge. After leaving the 
 University travelled abroad with Gray the poet. 
 Entered the House of Commons in 1741, where he 
 was quite out of his element and of little use, a fact 
 which he did not fully recognise, however, till 1768, 
 when he relinquished public life. He succeeded to 
 
J^ictoncaf txacU, 1561-1800 527 
 
 the earldom in old age (1791) and affected to be 
 annoyed. However that may be, he never took his 
 seat in the House of Lords during the six years of 
 life that remained to him. His chief works were 
 *The Castle of Otranto,' a clever satire on melo- 
 dramatic romances of the school of Mrs. Radcliffe 
 which was then in vogue ; • The Mysterious Mother : 
 A Tragedy,' * Historic Doubts on the Life and 
 Reign of Richard HI.,' * Memoirs of the Reigns of 
 George IL and George IIL,' and a vast collection 
 of letters which cover the period 173S-1797 and fill 
 nine volumes. The younger son of the famous Prime 
 Minister, Horace Walpole inherited 5,000/. a year. 
 He never married, probably because he was too 
 much in love with himself, but he sat in Parliament 
 for eight and twenty years, mixed freely in Society, 
 and dabbled all his life in literature and art bricks 
 and mortar. He was not a reckless cynic or a heart- 
 less coxcomb, but people who only knew him in 
 some of his moods might have mistaken him for 
 either. He amused himself by building Strawberry 
 Hill, a mock Gothic castle, which he filled with dric- 
 d-drac, books, paintings, and curiosities. He also set 
 up a private press and published various books. His 
 reputation rests now almost exclusively on his 
 Letters, in which literary criticism, political in- 
 telligence, and Court gossip are blended with vivid 
 sidelights on English society and spiteful but witty 
 comments on the chief personages in it. Sydney 
 Smith thought them the best wit ever published in 
 the shape of Letters. Lord Byron said they were 
 incomparable, whilst a much cooler critic, Sir Walter 
 Scott, thought Walpole the best letter-writer in the 
 English language.

 Ray's * Rebellion ' was reprinted constantly in the 
 eighteenth century. Very little is known about 
 the author except that he lived at Whitehaven, and 
 served as a volunteer in the Duke of Cumberland's

 Nathaniel Hooke, died 1763. Barrister. A Roman 
 Catholic of the school of Fenelon, whose biography 
 he translated ( 1 723). His chief work was his ' Roman 
 History ' from the building of Rome to the end of 
 the Commonwealth, four volumes, a book which, 
 though now superseded, was in the eighteenth 
 century greatly esteemed. It was Hooke who put 
 into literary shape the famous * Account of the 
 Conduct of the Dowager Duchess of Marlborough 
 from her first coming to Court to the year 17 10,'

 which was dictated by *01d Marlborough,' as 
 Horace Walpole called her, shortly before her 
 death. Hooke received 5,000/. for the preparation 
 of this short book, but the Duchess promptly 
 quarrelled with him, because she suspected him of 
 an intention to try and convert her to the Catholic 
 faith. Some colour is lent to this by the fact that 
 Hooke brought a priest to the deathbed of Pope, 
 whose death occurred in the same year as that of 
 the Duchess of Marlborough (1744).

 1. An Epistle to the Rt. Hon. Philip 
 Earl of Chesterfield. To which are added

 Dunkin, D.D. 
 
 Philip Donner Stanhope, fourth Earl of Chesterfield 
 (1694-1773). Educated at Trinity Hall, Cam- 
 bridge. Entered the House of Commons, 1715. 
 Succeeded to the peerage in 1726. Ambassador to 
 the Hague, 1728. Paid great court to George II., 
 and in 1744 was appointed Lord-Lieutenant of 
 Ireland, and two years later became Secretary of 
 State, but resigned office in 1748. His literary 
 reputation turns on his celebrated ' Letters to His 
 Son,' which were first published in 1774. Chester- 
 field was intimate with Bolingbroke, Walpole, 
 Pulteney, and Pitt, and with Addison, Swift, Pope, 
 Johnson, Montesquieu, and Voltaire in another 
 sphere. His letters are shrewd, elegant, pithy, and 
 bleak. They bear witness, as Mr. Lecky once put 
 it, to the delicate but fastidious taste, the immoral 
 principle, the hard, keen, and worldly wisdom of 
 Chesterfield, whom Dr. Johnson once regarded as a 
 lord among wits, but afterwards discovered to be 
 only a wit among lords.

 3. Gisbal, an Hyperborean Tale : 
 
 Translated from the Fragments of Ossian the

 James MacPherson (1738-1796). Educated at the 
 Universities of Aberdeen and Edinburgh with a 
 view to the Presbyterian ministry, but subsequently 
 became first a schoolmaster and next a private tutor. 
 In 1764 MacPherson went to Florida as private 
 secretary to Governor Johnstone, and towards the 
 close of his life sat in Parliament and was agent for 
 the Nabob of Arcot, and helped the North Cabinet 
 with his pen in the prosecution of the war with the 
 American Colonies. The Poems of Ossian, which 
 MacPherson declared he had translated from the 
 Gaelic, were supposed to have been written by a 
 prince of that name and his contemporaries of the 
 third century. It is commonly believed that Mac- 
 Pherson's prose epics were founded on traditional 
 legends which lingered in the Highlands. The 
 Poems of Ossian gave rise to a great literary contro- 
 versy. Lord Kames, Sir John Sinclair, and Dr. 
 Blair believed in their genuineness ; but Dr. 
 Johnson, David Hume, and others held stoutly to 
 the opposite view. Lord Macaulay thinks that 
 Dr. Johnson's indignation was the more pronounced 
 
^xQioxkat txutB, 1561-1800 541 
 
 because the poems possessed a 'superficial air of 
 originality ' which imposed upon the world. The 
 Highland Society in 1805 issued a report on the 
 matter, and Sir Walter Scott states that the out- 
 come was that there were no real originals for the 
 poems, and that the greater part was a forgery.

 1 7 12, against her father's will, Edward Wortley 
 Montagu, M.P., grandson of the first Earl of 
 Sandwich. He was appointed Ambassador to the 
 Porte in 17 16, and it was from Constantinople that 
 Lady Mary — almost the first Englishwoman of rank 
 and culture to travel in the East — wrote her cele- 
 brated * Letters ' to Pope, Addison, and other well- 
 known people. Apart from this she wrote ' Town 
 Eclogues' and some essays. She was one of the

 M'^ Hervey to the Rev. M'^ John Wesley :

 The Rev. John Wesley (1703-1791). Founder of the 
 great religious communion which perpetuates his 
 name, and the pioneer with George \Vhitefield of 
 the Evangelical revival of the Georgian era. Edu- 
 cated at the Charterhouse and Christ Church, 
 Oxford. Took Orders in 1725, and in the following 
 
548 (8tt6. iptUv (gebpAtre 
 
 year was elected a Fellow of Lincoln, where he 
 became the leader of a small group of graduates and 
 undergraduates who met together for the study of 
 the Greek Testament and religious fellowship. 
 They were the object of much ridicule, and were 
 dubbed * The Holy Club,' * Bible Bigots,' and the 
 like, but the nickname which stuck was that of 
 * Methodists,' a name which John and Charles 
 Wesley were destined to make both famous and 
 honourable. It was in 1735 ^^^^ Wesley, by this 
 time a distinguished Oxford tutor, accepted an 
 invitation to the colony of Georgia to preach to the 
 Indians, and this was the beginning of the Evangel- 
 istic labours in which with such memorable results 
 the rest of his life was spent. 
 The Rev. James Hervey (171 4- 1758), was one of John 
 Wesley's pupils at Lincoln College, Oxford, and 
 also one of the little band of * Methodists ' in the 
 University. He took Orders, and, unlike Wesley, 
 became a strong Calvinist, and died Rector of 
 Weston Favell. He wrote the now almost for- 
 gotten but once widely popular * Meditations 
 amongst the Tombs,' as well as * Theron and 
 Aspasio ' a series of dialogues and letters on theo- 
 logical problems, besides sermons. Wesley was 
 much annoyed at the publication of these letters, 
 which appeared seven years after Mr. Hervey's 
 death and hastened the controversy which presently 
 broke forth between the Calvinists and Arminians.

 The weavers were responsible for immense socia 
 disorder during the Wilkes Riots, and many were 
 killed in conflicts with the military. The loom- 
 breaking still went on, and a law was passed making 
 the offence capital. This was met by the destruction 
 of a hundred and fifty looms in two nights. The 
 ringleaders were hanged under the new law, but 
 one of the chief witnesses against them was seized 
 
 ' by the mob and in full daylight stoned to death in 
 one of the fields near Bethnal Green.

 to England in 1761, sat for some years in the House 
 of Commons, and was made Director of the Control 
 Office. The closing years of his life were spent in 
 literary retirement at Bath. He had the courage to

 I. A Letter to Edmund Burke Esq. 
 
 ... in answer to his Printed Speech said to 
 
 be spoken in the House of Commons 22 
 
 March 1775. By Josiah Tucker, D.D. 
 
 Edmund Burke (1730-1797). Educated at Trinity 
 College, Dublin. Called to the Bar, Middle 
 Temple, 1747. Projected the 'Annual Register' in 
 1758, and for some time practically wrote the whole 
 of it. Afterwards became Private Secretary to the 
 Marquis of Rockingham, and in 1765 entered the 
 House of Commons as member for Wendover. 
 Very quickly distinguished himself by his speeches 
 on the North American Colonies, Catholic Emancipa- 
 tion, and fiscal reform. In 1782 he was given the 
 post of Paymaster of the Forces and raised to the 
 rank of a Privy Councillor. His impeachment of 
 Warren Hastings in 1786 brought Burke prominently 
 to the front, and in the trial which followed Burke 
 won his greatest oratorical laurels. The closing 
 years of his life were clouded by unworthy fears of 
 the outcome of the French Revolution, and so 
 impassioned was his invective that it led to a 
 quarrel between himself and Fox. In 1795 he 
 retired from Parliament, and the last three years of 
 his life were spent in literary retirement. His chief 
 
^itiioxkc^t €x(XcU, 1561-1800 571 
 
 writings are * Thoughts on the Present Discontents * 
 (1770); 'Reflections on the French Revolution* 
 (1790) ; and * Letters on a Regicide Peace ' (1796). 
 Burke brought to the interpretation of the practical 
 issues of politics a philosophic mind, the resources 
 of a student, the gift of historic imagination, and 
 the magic of oratory. 
 Josiah Tucker, D.D. (1711-1799). Educated at St 
 John's College, Oxford. Took Orders, and even- 
 tually became Dean of Gloucester. He is chiefly 
 remembered by his tracts on political economy, and 
 on his advocacy of an amicable surrender of the 
 North American Colonies.

 extraordinary spiritual ascendency over the town in 
 which he lived, and his sermons elsewhere on special 
 occasions — Robert Hall being witness — reached a 
 height of moral fervour and religious persuasiveness 
 that has seldom been equalled. He was a man of 
 high intellectual attainments and great force of cha-

 F.R.S. 6*^ edition. 
 
 Richard Price, D.D. (1723-1791). Minister of a 
 Presbyterian Church at Hackney, London. A 
 metaphysician, a moralist, a financier, and a master 
 of calculation, which comes out curiously in some of 
 his theological disquisitions. Price also took up 
 with characteristic energy the study of politics. 
 He boldly took the part of America in the War of 
 Independence, and it was in reply to a sermon of 
 his, preached on November 4, 1789, on 'The Love 
 of Our Country,' that Edmund Burke wrote the 
 following year his celebrated * Reflections on the 
 Revolution in France.' The present pamphlet on 
 * Civil Liberty ' and one entitled * Observations on 
 Civil Government ' brought Price the degree of D.D.

 the Corporation in a gold box.

 2. Political Tracts : The False Alarm, 
 Falkland's Islands, The Patriot, and Taxa-

 Samuel Johnson, LL.D. (i 709-1784). The hero- 
 worship of Boswell has made known to everyone, 
 through the pages of a classic biography, not merely 
 the facts of Dr. Johnson's strenuous intellectual life, 
 but his noble and generous characteristics as a man. 
 Moreover, many other aids to the interpretation of 
 his great creative force in English society and letters 
 have since appeared. It is said that Dr. Johnson 
 wrote the • False Alarm ' between eight o'clock on 
 one evening and midnight of the next. It ran 
 through three editions in less than two months. 
 * The Patriot * was written at a white heat in one 
 day. * Taxation no Tyranny ' was, according to 
 Boswell, written at the desire of those in power, 
 and for the * Falkland's Islands ' materials were 
 furnished by the Ministry. 
 
 3. Remarks on the Two Last Chap- 
 ters of M^ Gibbon's History of the Decline 
 and Fall of the Roman Empire, in a Letter 
 to a Friend. 
 
 Edward Gibbon (i 737-1 794). Educated at West- 
 minster School, from which he passed for a short 
 
576 (Btrs. (piUt Q^ebydt^B 
 
 time to Magdalen College, Oxford, but at sixteen 
 was sent to Lausanne, where he spent five years in 
 study. In his youth, Gibbon professed himself a 
 convert to Roman Catholicism, but afterwards he 
 * suspended his religious inquiries ' and adopted to 
 a large extent the attitude of Bolingbroke in regard 
 to problems of theology and morals. It was in 
 1763, whilst on a visit to Italy, that he formed the 
 ambition of writing his history of ' The Decline and 
 Fall of the Roman Empire,' the first volume of 
 which was published in 1776 and the last in 1788. 
 He sat for some years in Parliament, but lived much 
 abroad, and, when in this country, chiefly at 
 Sheffield Park, the seat of his lifelong friend, John 
 Holroyd, first Earl of Sheffield. His 'History,' 
 when all reservations are made, remains one of the 
 greatest literary achievements of the eighteenth 
 century.

 Thomas Rogers was educated at Christ Church, 
 Oxford, and was Rector of Horringer, Suffolk, in

 London. The Commentary referred to is 'The 
 Faith, Doctrine, and Religion professed and pro- 
 tected in the Realm of England, expressed in 
 Thirty-nine Articles.' It was first published in 1586. 
 Rogers also wrote 'The English Creede,' and was

 Soame Jenyns (1 704-1 787). Educated at St. John's, 
 Cambridge. Entered the House of Commons as 
 member for that county in 1742. One of the 
 Commissioners of the Board of Trade. Was a 
 writer of verse, and dabbled with his pen in pohtical 
 and economic discussions. His chief books are * A 
 Free Enquiry into the Nature and Origin of Evil '

 Christianity' (1776). The latter, though quite 
 forgotten, ran through ten editions, and has been

 Lawrence Sterne, M.A. (17 13-1768). Educated at 
 Jesus College, Cambridge. Took Orders (1738),

 and afterwards the neighbouring living of Stilling- 
 ton and a prebendal stall in York Minster. To 
 these appointments was afterwards added the curacy

 of Coxwold. In 1759 Sterne wrote the first two 
 volumes of * Tristram Shandy. ' The ninth and final 
 volume appeared in 1767. In the interval he pub- 
 lished three volumes of sermons, and travelled 
 widely on the Continent, and the outcome of his 
 wanderings was the 'Sentimental Journey,' which 
 appeared in 1768, the year of his death. These 
 * Letters ' were pubUshed by his daughter. Carlyle 
 was inclined to think that Sterne, in spite of all 
 his failings and foibles, was almost entitled to rank 
 as a younger though less gifted brother of Cervantes, 
 whilst Thackeray refused to regard him as a great 
 humorist, and somewhat curtly dismissed him as 
 merely a great jester.

 1. A View of the English Constitution. 
 By the late Baron De Montesquieu. . . . 
 
 Charles de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu (1689- 
 1755)- Oi^ the publication of his ' Lettres Per- 
 sanes ' in 1721, Montesquieu found himself famous, 
 for the book held the mirror up to the institutions as 
 well as the manners of France with philosophic 
 vigour and satirical piquancy. It was, undoubtedly, 
 from this book that Oliver Goldsmith borrowed the 
 idea of his * Citizen of the World. ' Montesquieu, 
 who in a scholarly sense was splendidly equipped, 
 travelled widely and spent two years in England 
 ( 1 729-173 1 ), investigating the principles of the 
 English Constitution and studying the political 
 writings of Locke. He published his great work 
 concerning the spirit of laws in 1748, and this 
 pamphlet contains his conclusions on the Constitu- 
 tional Government of England.

 I, The Letters of Junius. In one vol. 
 
 New edition. (393 pp.) 
 
 Sir Philip Francis, M.P. (1740-1818), is commonly 
 supposed to be the author of the * Letters of Junius.' 
 In early life he was in the diplomatic service in 
 Portugal, and afterwards became a Member of the 
 Council of Bengal, where he was a fierce opponent 
 of the policy of Warren Hastings, in whose impeach- 
 ment he afterwards took a prominent part. If 
 'Junius' was Sir Philip Francis, he was in his 
 twenty-sixth year when he wrote his first known 
 letter to the 'Public Advertiser,' which was the 
 most influential of the daily papers published at this 
 time, and which was to acquire much fresh influence 
 through his contributions. That letter, dated April 
 28, 1767, was signed * Poplicola,' one of the many 
 pseudonyms that this writer adopted before he 
 decided that he would be known to his contem- 
 poraries and posterity as 'Junius.' The last of the 
 series appeared in 1772.

 2. A Letter to the Rt. Hon. Charles 
 James Fox. By Major John Scott. [East 
 India Company.] 
 
 Charles James Fox, M.P. (1749-1806). Educated at 
 Eton and Oxford, and by foreign travel, and 
 entered the House of Commons for Midhurst as a 
 supporter of Lord North in 1768. During the 
 whole of the American War Fox was in opposition 
 to the Ministry, and on the fall of Lord North 
 entered the Rockingham Ministry (1782) as Secretary 
 of State. On Shelburne's accession to power both 
 Fox and Pitt resigned, but in the Portland Ministry 
 which quickly followed he became Foreign Secretary. 
 The Coalition Ministry was wrecked on Fox's Indian 
 Bill, and Pitt came into power ( 1 784) for the rest of 
 the century. On the death of his great rival in 
 1806, Fox became Foreign Secretary in the 
 Grenville Ministry, and at once opened negotiations 
 for peace with France. Before, however, the failure 
 of his plans became evident, he died at the age of 
 fifty-six. He was, in spite of personal foibles, full 
 of the enthusiasm of humanity, as his labours for the 
 abolition of the slave trade attest, and he was, more- 
 over, a bold and impassioned advocate of civil and 
 religious liberty.

 College, Cambridge, and called to the Bar at the 
 Inner Temple. Entered Parliament, 1768, for 
 Tamworth as a Tory, and in the following year was 
 appointed Solicitor-General, in 1771 Attorney- 
 General, and in 1778 Lord Chancellor. He was a 
 bitter reactionary and exasperated the people by his 
 contemptuous strictures in the political agitation 
 over Wilkes, in the controversy over the • Letters of 
 Junius,' and during the American War. He was 
 brusque, defiant, clever and somewhat unscrupulous, 
 and cjmically boasted, in spite of his attempts to 
 browbeat public opinion, that he knew very little of 
 statesmanship.

 of Shelburne from the Reproaches of his 
 
 Numerous Enemies ; in a Letter to Sir

 William Petty, Marquis of Lansdowne (1737- 1805). 
 In early life he served in the Army, and was present 
 at the battle of Minden. At the accession of 
 George III. was appointed aide-de-camp to the 
 King, and in 1761, after representing the pocket 
 borough of Wycombe for a few weeks, was called to 
 the peerage as Earl Shelburne by the death of his 
 father. He attached himself to the Bute Ministry, 
 and in 1 763 was appointed President of the Board 
 of Trade, but he presently went over to Pitt and 
 was in opposition all through Lord North's Ministry, 
 but became Secretary of State in the Rockingham 
 Cabinet in 1782. On the unexpected death of 
 Rockingham in that year, Shelburne became Prime 
 Minister, but was quickly turned out of office by the 
 coalition of North and Fox. In 1784 he was created 
 Marquis of Lansdowne, and for some years quitted 
 active politics, but reappeared for a time when the 
 French Revolution hotly divided political opinion 
 in England. Sir George Cornewall Lewis is 
 responsible for the assertion that Lansdowne was 
 
594 (B^^fi- ^^i^t (gcifiXt^'ti 
 
 the first British statesman to comprehend and 
 advocate the principles of Free Trade. 
 Sir George Saville, M.P. (1721-1784). The repre- 
 sentative of an old Yorkshire family, who was 
 returned at five successive elections for his native 
 county. Although Saville spoke little in Parlia- 
 ment, his integrity, courage, and common-sense 
 commanded universal respect. He resisted at every 
 stage the war with the American Colonies, as well 
 as the prosecution of Wilkes, and on all questions 
 which touched liberty, whether civil or religious, he 
 was a bold and uncompromising Whig.

 2. An Estimate of the Comparative 
 Strength of Great Britain during the present

 of her Trade from every War since the Revo-

 George Chalmers (i 742-1825). Educated at King's 
 College, Aberdeen. Emigrated, after some legal 
 training, to Maryland, and practised in the colonial 
 courts. He was opposed to the War of Inde- 
 pendence, and therefore returned to England at the 
 commencement of the struggle, where in recognition 
 of his loyalty he received {1786) an appointment at 
 the Board of Trade, a position which he held for 
 the rest of his life. The present book, according to 
 J. R. McCulloch, the eminent statistician, was written 
 to dispel the gloomy apprehensions of those who 
 supposed that England was ruined in a commercial 
 sense by her unsuccessful struggle in the North 
 American Colonies. He published other books, 
 notably a collection of Treaties between Great 
 Britain and other Powers, as well as a biography of 
 Sir David Lindsay, to which was attached a glossary 
 of his poetical works.

 Thomas Clarkson (1760-1846). Educated at St. 
 Paul's School and St. John's College, Cambridge. 
 In 1785 he won the Latin Essay at the University, 
 the subject being, * Is it lawful to make men slaves 
 against their will ? ' This gave the keynote to his 
 life, and he became the open champion of the 
 abolition of the Slave Trade. Many of the leading 
 Whigs, notably Pitt, assisted the movement. Clark- 
 son found, however, his most distinguished convert 
 in William Wilberforce, who became the parlia- 
 mentary spokesman of the new philanthropy. After 
 years of strenuous agitation Clarkson and Wilber- 
 force had the satisfaction in 1807 of seeing the 
 resolutions in favour of the Abolition of the Slave 
 Trade proposed by Fox and Grenville, and carried. 
 In the following year Clarkson wrote his * History 
 of the Abolition of the Slave Trade. '

 I. The Present State of the East Indies. 
 
 By Warren Hastings. 
 
 Warren Hastings (1733-1818). First Governor- 
 General of British India. Educated at Westminster 
 School, and at the age of seventeen went to India in 
 the service of the East India Company. He dis- 
 tinguished himself by devotion to work and by skill 
 as a linguist, and after fourteen years returned to 
 England, but in 1769 was sent to Madras as a 
 Member of the Council, and after two years was 
 transferred to Calcutta as President of the Supreme 
 Council. When an Act of Parliament was passed 
 altering the Constitution of British India, Hastings 
 became Governor- General. Sir William Hunter 
 
J^tetoricaf Zxc^ctB^ 1561-1800 601 
 
 asserts that if Clive laid the territorial foundations 
 of the British Empire in India, it was Warren 
 Hastings who created a British Administration in 
 the East. ' He reorganised the Indian Service, 
 reformed every branch of the Revenue Collections, 
 created Courts of Justice and laid the basis of a police 
 system. But history remembers his name not for 
 his improvements in the internal administration, but 
 for his bold foreign policy in dealing with the Native 
 States,' It was in regard to the latter that Warren 
 Hastings was impeached on his return to England 
 in 1786. He was charged with extortion, oppression, 
 and all sorts of political injustice, and the trial — it 
 made Burke famous — lasted for seven years (1788- 
 1795), and ended with a triumphant acquittal. The 
 cost of his defence, 70,000/., ruined Hastings, but 
 the East India Company came to his relief with a 
 pension of 4,000/. a year. Hastings lived to witness 
 the vindication of his policy.

6o2 ^tB. Qpefer (gcipaWs 
 
 appointed to a Chair in the Dissenting Academy in 
 Warrington. Whilst in this capacity wrote his first 
 scientific work, * The History and Present State of 
 Electricity,' which resulted in his election into the 
 Royal Society and brought him the LL.D. of 
 Edinburgh. In 1767, whilst minister at Mill Hill, 
 near Leeds, he made scientific discoveries for which 
 he received the Copley medal of the Royal Society. 
 In 1773 he was appointed Librarian to the Earl of 
 Melbourne, and in 1780 resumed his ministry at 
 Birmingham, where his sympathy with the French 
 Revolution led to riots in the summer of 179 1. The 
 mob set fire to his house, and his library and 
 scientific apparatus were destroyed. He removed 
 in the same year to Hackney as minister of a con- 
 gregation there, but in 1794 emigrated to America, 
 and died in Pennsylvania at the age of seventy-one. 
 He wrote upwards of seventy volumes on theological, 
 philosophic, and scientific subjects.

 minster, Eton, and St. John's College, Cambridge. , 
 Took Orders under strong family pressure, but 
 shortly afterwards attempted to qualify as a barrister, 
 but was unable because of his Orders. Became an 
 active politician and for a time worked hand and 
 glove with Wilkes, with whom, however, he 
 eventually quarrelled, and was then hotly attacked 
 by ♦ Junius. ' He was a bold opponent of the war 
 with the American colonists, and was sentenced to 
 a year's imprisonment as well as the payment of a 
 fine for an alleged libel on the King's soldiers in 
 America. He was also imprisoned during the 
 agitation which followed the French Revolution. 
 In 1 80 1 was returned to Parliament, but only sat for 
 a single session, in consequence of the bill becoming 
 law which rendered clerics ineligible as members of 
 the House of Commons. He is best remembered 
 by his ' Diversions of Purley ' — a clever though now

 John Howard (1726-1790). On a voyage to Lisbon

 Francis Rawdon, Marquis of Hastings (1754-1825). 
 Adjutant-General of the British forces during the 
 American War. Became Earl of Moira in 1793, 
 and in the following year served in Holland with 
 distinction. In 181 2 was appointed Governor- 
 General of British India, a position which he held 
 for ten years. It was said of him that he completed 
 Lord Wellesley's conquests in India, and left the 
 Bombay Presidency almost as it stands at present. 
 He was created Marquis of Hastings in 1816. Ill- 
 health compelled him to relinquish his great position 
 in the East, and in 1824 he was appointed Governor 
 of Malta, a post which he only lived to hold for a 
 few months.

 military service of Portugal, and received a captain's 
 commission. After the peace of Aix-la-Chapelle 
 came to England, and was for seven years tutor in 
 a Shropshire family. Here he came under the 
 influence of the Methodists, and through the per- 
 sonal influence of John Wesley Viras ordained by the 
 Bishop of Hereford (1756-1757), and three years 
 later was appointed to the living of Madeley, Salop, 
 where he laboured with singular devotion for a 
 quarter of a century. In 1768 he became President 
 of Lady Huntingdon's College at Trevecca, Wales — 
 the forerunner of Cheshunt College, Herts, a position 
 which he held until 1771, when he resigned because 
 of the Calvinistic controversy. Wesley tried in vain 
 to draw Fletcher of Madeley from his obscure parish, 
 and even proposed that he should be his own suc- 
 cessor in the direction of the newly constituted 
 Methodist churches. Fletcher's physical health was 
 precarious, and he shrank from so great a task, 
 and his closing years were spent in his own parish, 
 and were marked with a zeal which nothing seemed 
 to tire.

 I, Letter to the Addressers on the Late 
 Proclamation. By Thomas Paine. 
 
 Thomas Paine (1737-1809). His career began at 
 Lewes, Sussex, as an exciseman. He wrote a clever 
 pamphlet, and on the strength of it obtained an 
 introduction to Benjamin Franklin, who urged him 
 to cross the Atlantic and adopt a literary career in 
 the Colonies. He settled in Philadelphia in 1774, 
 and became editor of the * Pennsylvania Gazette.' 
 Next year he published his famous but bitter 
 pamphlet ' Common Sense,' in which he made a 
 violent attack on the English Constitution, and 
 exhorted the Colonists to resistance. During the 
 American War Paine wrote a series of impassioned 
 appeals, and received a money vote from Pennsyl- 
 vania, and a grant of land from the State of New 
 York, as well as an official appointment. He 
 returned to Europe in 1787, and in 1792 published 
 his * Rights of Man ' in answer to Burke's 
 ' Reflections on the Revolution.' It was condemned 
 as a ' false, scandalous, malicious libel,' and Paine 
 was tried in consequence in the Court of King's 
 Bench and condemned, in spite of Erskine's im- 
 passioned defence. He managed to escape to 
 France, and was chosen Member of the National 
 Convention for Calais, but he subsequently offended 
 the Jacobins by advocating clemency to Louis XVL, 
 and was thrown into prison by Robespierre, but 
 regained his liberty on the fall of the Dictator. In 
 1795 he published his * Age of Reason,' and in the 
 following year ' Agrarian Justice. ' He lived in 
 France till 1802, but his friend Thomas Jefferson 
 having been elected third President of the United 
 States, he returned to America in October 1802. 
 He published his final instalment of * The Age of 
 Reason' in 1807, a coarse and bitter attack on 
 
^ietoricaf tx(XcU. 1561-1800 621 
 
 Christian theology. There can be little doubt that 
 Paine's • Common Sense ' had much to do with 
 making the Declaration of Independence possible to 
 the Colonists. His influence steadily declined in 
 his later years, and this was largely due to personal 
 character on the one hand and the increasing 
 virulence of his attitude towards religion on the 
 other.

 science, and amongst other inventions contrived an

 extreme views often left him in a minority of one

 and then in the Army, entered Trinity College, 
 Cambridge, and then studied at Lincoln's Inn and 
 was called to the Bar in 1778. Was elected M.P. 
 for Portsmouth (1783), and sat for that borough 
 until 1806, when he was created a peer and made 
 Lord Chancellor. Meanwhile he made a great 
 forensic reputation by his defence successively of 
 Admiral Keppel, Lord George Gordon, Thomas 
 Paine, and Home Tooke. Erskine had the courage 
 to break with the Prince Regent, whose friendship 
 he had long enjoyed, because of the latter's treat- 
 ment of Queen Caroline, whom he always regarded 
 as a greatly injured woman.

 Samuel Horsley D.D. (1733-1806). Editor of Sir 
 Isaac Newton's works. Fellow of the Royal 
 Society and Bishop of St. Asaph. Was in his day 
 the most eloquent preacher in the Church of Eng- 
 land. Dr. Houghton describes a remarkable scene 
 on the occasion of Horsley's preaching a sermon on 
 January 30, 1793 (King Charles the Martyr), nine 
 days after the death of Louis XVI., in which, after 
 an impassioned description of the scenes through 
 which that hapless King had passed, he went on to 
 say that his own country had set the frightful 
 example, and the whole congregation sprang to 
 their feet in uncontrollable emotion. (* Dictionary

 Robert Hall (1764-1831). Eminent Baptist Minister. 
 Entered the Baptist Academy at Bristol at the age 
 of fifteen, and in 1781 proceeded to King's College, 
 Aberdeen, where he formed one of the most 
 influential friendships of his life, with a fellow 
 student. Sir James Mackintosh. In 1785 he became 
 colleague to Dr. Caleb Evans in the Baptist 
 Ministry at Bristol, and classical tutor in his old 
 academy. Here he attained great renown by his 
 power in the pulpit, but in the course of a few years 
 his ministry was eclipsed by ominous symptoms of 
 mental derangement. After a period of strict 
 seclusion Hall recovered, and in 1791 was chosen 
 pastor, in succession to the celebrated Robert 
 Robinson, of the Baptist Church at Cambridge, 
 where he remained with ever widening reputation in 
 the pulpit for fifteen years. In 1804 he was com- 
 pelled to resign by a return in an acute form of his 
 old malady, and on his recovery, in 1807, became 
 Baptist minister at Leicester, where he remained till 
 1826, when he was chosen President of the Bristol 
 Academy and Minister of Broadmead Chapel in that 
 city, a post which he held until his death. It was 
 the union of imagination and intellect with moral 
 courage, intense fervour, and majesty of expression 
 which gave Robert Hall unique ascendency in the 
 pulpit.

 imprisonment in Dorchester Gaol, his family mean- 
 while being supported by public subscription. He 
 afterwards gave a course of classical lectures in

 Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834). Poet and 
 philosopher. Educated at Christ's Hospital and 
 Jesus College, Cambridge. Settled at Bristol. 
 There, in conjunction with Southey and other en- 
 thusiasts, he projected a scheme— which eventually 
 
634 (8tte. QPefer (gttpc^Ws 
 
 came to nothing — for a model colony on the banks 
 of the Susquehanna. His dream of • Pantisocracy * 
 over, he adopted a literary life. Married, settled at 
 Nether Stowey, and after a visit to Germany took 
 up his abode in the Lake District. In 1804 went 
 to Malta and was for more than a year Secretary to 
 the Governor, Sir A. Ball. In 1810 went to London 
 and practically spent the rest of his life in retreat 
 with his friend Mr. Gillman at Highgate. His 
 literary career began with a volume of poems 
 in 1794 ; this was followed by * The Ancient 
 Mariner,' ' Christabel,' and other poems, as well as 
 translations from Schiller. Coleridge dabbled a 
 good deal in journalism. He was at one time 
 connected with the * Morning Post ' and at another 
 with the ' Morning Chronicle.' He projected * The 
 Watchman,' which did not succeed, and wrote *The 
 Friend.' This is the whole of ' The Watchman.' 
 It ended on May 13, 1796, on the ground that it 
 did not pay its expenses. * Part of my readers,' 
 said Coleridge, * relinquished it because it did not 
 contain sufficient original composition, and a still 
 larger part because it contained too much.' 
 Amongst his later works were * Biographia Lite- 
 raria,' * Lay Sermons,' and ' Aids to Reflection.' 
 * I am grieved that you never met Coleridge,' wrote 
 Sou they to Taylor of Norwich ; ' all other men whom 
 I have ever known are mere children to him, and 
 yet all is palsied by a total want of moral strength.' 
 His * Confessions of an Inquiring Spirit,' ' Literary 
 Remains,' and * Table Talk,' were published after 
 his death, and edited by his nephew and son-in'-law 
 Henry Nelson Coleridge, whilst his * Essays on his 
 Own Times ' and * Notes on Shakespeare and the 
 Dramatists ' were edited by his daughter Sara 
 Coleridge.

 This tract was first published by Milton in 1659, during

 was then living in a pretty garden house in Petty 
 France, Westminster, next door to the Lord 
 Scudamore's, and opening into St. James' Park.*

 This house was standing thirty years ago as No. 19 
 York Street, Westminster. Oddly enough, Jeremy 
 Bentham was its owner at the beginning of the 
 nineteenth century, and the most distinguished of 
 his tenants was William Hazlitt, who came to reside 
 there in 181 1. He was then thirty-four years of 
 age, and his most intimate friend at the time was 
 Charles Lamb. 
 
 5. The Poet's Fate ; a Poetical Dialogue. 
 
 By George Dyer. 2"'^ edition. 
 
 George Dyer, of Clifford's Inn (1755-1841). Edu- 
 cated at Christ's Hospital, and Emmanuel, Cam- 
 bridge. He was an eminent classical scholar, and is 
 said to have contributed all that was original in 
 Valpy's edition of the Classics in one hundred and 
 forty-one volumes. Dyer laboured at this great work 
 from 1 819 to 1830, and had scarcely finished it 
 when his eyesight quickly failed and left him in 
 total blindness. He was one of the founders of the 
 Percy Society. Edited two of the plays of Euri- 
 pides. Wrote a • History of the University and 
 Colleges of Cambridge,' and bequeathed his books 
 and papers to the South Kensington Museum. He 
 was a man of blameless and attractive character, 
 and one of the closest friends of Charles Lamb. 
 In a letter to Coleridge, August 26, 1800, Lamb 
 says : * Dyer is goodness itself. If I could but cal- 
 culate the precise date of his death, I would write a 
 novel on purpose to make George the hero. I could 
 hit him off to a hair.' Alas, Elia died in 1834, and 
 his friend survived him seven years.

 William Stevens (1732-1807). Chiefly remembered

 classical scholar, but his chief interest lay in 
 Biblical criticism. He was profoundly afraid of 
 the revolutionary effect in England of the French 
 Revolution, and, as a matter of fact, helped to 
 found a society to resist olitical innovations. He

 I. A Modest Apology for the Roman 
 Catholics of Great Britain : addressed to all 
 Moderate Protestants ; particularly the Mem- 
 bers of Both Houses of Parliament. [By the 
 Rev. Alexander Geddes, LL.D.] 
 
 Alexander Geddes, LL.D. (1737- 1802). Roman 
 Catholic priest. Educated at the Scots College, 
 Paris, and officiated as a priest for some years in 
 Scotland, where he obtained the degree of Doctor 
 of Laws, and published a translation of the Satires 
 of Horace. In 1780 was transferred to London, 
 where he officiated for two years, when he relin- 
 quished the priestly calling altogether. He made 
 an original translation of the Bible, and Lord Petre 
 allowed him a pension in order that he might give 
 himself wholly to this task. The first volume, with 
 critical notes, was published in 1792, and the second 
 in 1797, but the project was not completed, because 
 of the grave dissatisfaction of his co-religionists with 
 the result. In spite of his learning, Geddes was to 
 a large extent a rationalist, so much so indeed that 
 Bishop Van Mildert describes his comments as an 
 artful attack upon the Divine authority of the 
 Scriptures.

 where with the help of a wealthy banker, Mr. Welsh, 
 he founded a Theological College. Mr. Bogue is

 SUPPLEMENTARY. 
 1629-1668 
 
 A Collection of fifty-three political and 
 ecclesiastical Tracts by William Prynne, 
 including * The Soveraigne Power of Parlia- 
 ments and Kingdomes,' * A Breviate of the 
 Prelates intolerable usurpations,' *A New 
 Discovery of the Prelates Tyranny,' and 
 ' Rome's Master-Peece.' Six volumes. 
 
 The chief facts in the life of William Prynne (1600- 
 1669) have already been stated. This collection of the 
 militant Puritan's controversial writings, though by 
 no means complete, contains the majority of the 
 tracts from his pen which are of direct historical 
 interest. The most exhaustive lists of Prynne's 
 writings — he is believed to have printed nearly two 
 hundred volumes and pamphlets — will be found in 
 Antony Wood, though his statements ought to be 
 read in the light of Bruce's notes on Prynne's career, 
 * Documents relating to the Proceedings against 
 William Prynne,' published by the Camden Society 
 in 1877, under the editorial supervision of Dr. S. R. 
 Gardiner.
