A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

To this work was prefixed, under the name of a Preliminary Dissertation, a very valuable piece written by Mr. Gay, of Sidney college. Our Bishop always spoke of this gentleman in terms of the greatest respect. In theB ible, and in the writings of Locke, no man, he used to say, was so well versed. Mr. Law also, whilst at Christ scollege, under took and went through a very laborious part, in preparing for the press an edition of Stephens sT hesaurus. His acquaintance, during his first residence in the university, was principally with Dr. Waterland, the learned master of Magdalen college ;D r. Jortin, a name known to every scholar ;and Dr. Taylor, the editor of Demosthenes. In 1737 he was presented by the university to the living of Graystock, in the county of Cumber land, a rectory of about 3001. a year. The advowson of this benefice belonged to the family of Howards of Graystock, but devolved to the university for this turn, by virtue of an act of parlia ment, which transfers to these two bodies the nomination to such benefices as appertain, at the time of the vacancy, to the patronage of a Roman catholic. The right, however, of the university was contested, and it was not until after a lawsuit of two years continuance, that Mr. Law was settled His coadjutors in the work were John Taylor, Thomas Johnson, andS andys Hutchinson.
