"The stupendous title, Thoughts on the Causes of the Grand Apostasy, at first agitated my nerves, till I discovered that it was the apostasy of the whole church, since the Council of Nice, from Mr. Taylor's private religion. His book is a thorough mixture of high enthusiasm and low buffoonery, and the Millennium is a fundamental article of his creed."-GIBBON: Memoirs, in Miscell. Works, ed. 1837, 97, n.

Referring to these Thoughts of Taylor's, Lord Brougham remarks (Lives of Men of Letters Time Geo. III., ed. 1855, 399) that the author was "alike wrong-headed and enthusiastic."

Taylor, Isaac, the second, LL.D., son of the preceding, b. at Lavenham, Suffolk, 1787, after a course of theological study with a view to the Dissenting pulpit, and some attention to the literature of the Bar, settled down (at Stanford Rivers) as a literary recluse,-communicating to the world, from time to time, the results of his researches and meditations. In 1818 he was engaged by the editor, Josiah Conder, (p. 418, supra,) as a regular contributor to the Eclectic Review. He died June 28, 1865.

"He is an independent more than an original thinker. He is rather exempt from fear than animated by ardent courage in announcing the fruits of his enquiries. A great master of language, he is himself but too often mastered by it. He is too much the creature, to become the reformer, of his age. assiduity to please is fatal to his desire to command. His efforts to move the will are defeated by his success in dazzling the fancy.

Taylor, Jane, the daughter of Isaac Taylor the first and Ann Taylor the first, was b. in London, Sept. 23, 1783, d. in Ongar, Essex, April 12, 1824.

"A work which cannot be too highly praised.”—Lon. Quar. Rev., 1xxiv. 22, (q. v.)

Her contributions to The Associate Minstrels, a vol. of poetry, were repub. in vol. ii. of No. 3. Portions of her writings have been pub. separately in book-form in America, and the following collections have also appeared there: I. The Writings of Jane Taylor, Bost., 1835, 3 vols. 12mo. II. The Pleasures of Taste, and other Stories selected from the Writings of Miss Jane Taylor; with a Sketch of her Life by Mrs. Sarah J. Hale, 12mo, pp. 288, (see N. Amer. Rev., April, 1840, 506;) new ed., N. York, 1847, 18mo. A notice of Miss Taylor will also be found in Mrs. Elwood's Literary Ladies of England, ii. 262-75. Moir remarks that the poetic reputation of Jane Taylor rests "on her 'Squire's Pew,' a lyric of exquisite originality and beauty," (Sketches of the Poet. Lit., &c., Lect. VI.:) a eulogy which we heartily endorse.

În consequence of his illness, completed and prefaced by his brother, Isaac Taylor.

Taylor, Jeremy, D.D., a descendant of Rowland Taylor, LL.D., the eminent Reformer and martyr, (see Foxe's Acts and Monuments,) was b. 1613, at Cambridge, where his father was a barber; entered a sizar of Caius College, Cambridge, 1626, and became Chaplain to Archbishop Laud and to Charles I.; Fellow of All Souls' College, Oxford, 1636; Rector of Uppingham, Rutlandshire, 1638; sequestered by the Parliament, 1642, and after the defeat of the royalists suffered frequent but short imprisonments; during the first years of the Protectorate kept a

school in Wales, (in conjunction with William Nicholson, afterwards Bishop of Gloucester, and William Wyatt, afterwards Prebendary of Lincoln,) and officiated as chaplain to the Earl of Carberry, at Golden Grove, Carmarthenshire; in 1658 settled in Ireland, and exercised his ministry alternately at Lisburn and Portmore; returned to London in the spring of 1660, and signed the loyal Declaration of the Nobility and Gentry, dated April 24,-thirty-five days before the Restoration; was consecrated Bishop of Down and Connor, January, 1661; made a member of the Irish Privy Council in February, intrusted with the diocese of Dromore in March, and in the same year was elected Vice-Chancellor of the University of Dublin; d. at Lisburn, August 13, 1667, and was interred in the choir of the cathedral at Dromore. By his first wife, Phoebe Langsdale, he had four sons, all of whom he survived; by his second wife, Joanna Bridges, a natural daughter of his royal patron and friend Charles I., (when Prince of Wales,) and mistress of an estate at Carmarthen, he had three daughters, all of whom survived him: 1, Phoebe, d. single; 2, Joanna, married Edward Harrison, M.P. for Lisburn; 3, Mary, married Dr. Francis Marsh, afterwards Archbishop of Dublin.

Bishop Taylor's funeral sermon was preached by his chaplain, Doctor George Rust, his episcopal successor in the see of Dromore; and a more florid eulogy has seldom been pronounced. We quote a few sentences:

"He was none of God's ordinary works, but his Endowments were so many and so great, as really made him a Miracle. Nature had befriended him much in his Constitution; for he was a person of a most sweet and obliging humour, of great candour and ingenuity; and there was so much of salt, and fineness of wit, and prettiness of address, in his familiar discourses, as made his conversation have all the pleasantness of a comedy, and all the usefulness of a sermon.... To these advantages of nature, and excellency of his spirit, he added an indefatigable industry, and God gave a plentiful benediction; for there were very few kinds of learning but he was a mystes and a great master in them. He was a rare Humanist, and hugely versed in all the polite parts of Learning, and thoroughly concocted all the antient Moralists, Greek and Roman Poets and Orators, and was not unacquainted with the refined wits of the later ages, whether French or Italian. . . . This great Prelate had the good humour of a Gentleman, the eloquence of an Orator, the fancy of a Poet, the acuteness of a Schoolman, the profoundness of a Philosopher, the wisdom of a Chancellor, the sagacity of a Prophet, the reason of an Angel, and the piety of a Saint. He had devotion enough for a Cloister, learning enough for an University, and wit enough for a College of Virtuosi. And had his parts and endowments been parcelled out among his poor Clergy that he left behind him, it would perhaps have made one of the best dioceses in the world."

"He was esteemed," says Wood, "by the generality of persons a compleat artist, accurate logician, exquisite, quick, and acute in his reasonings, a person of great fluency in his language and of prodigious readiness in his learning. A noted Presbyterian [Hen. Jeanes, in his Epist. to the Reader before Certain Letters between him and Jer. Taylor, 1660, fol.] also (his antagonist) doth ingeniously confess that Dr. Taylor is a man of admirable wit, great parts, hath a quick and elegant pen, is of abilities in critical learning and of profound skill in antiquity."-Athen, Oron., Bliss's ed., iii. 784, q. v. (and vide Index) for an account of Taylor and his writings.

We proceed to the enumeration of his principal and several of his minor works, with the dates of the first and some of the early editions and of a number of recent editions. 1. The Sacred Order and Offices of Episcopacy, by Divine Institution, Apostolicall Tradition and Catholicke Practice, Oxon., 1642, 4to; Lon., 1647, 4to; with Clerus Domini, N. York, 1844, 16mo. Lowndes (Brit. Lib., 383) mentions an ed. Oxon., 1638: which we doubt. It was written by command of Charles I.

2. Discourse concerning Prayer ex tempore; or, by Pretence of the Spirit, in Justification of Authorized and Set Forms of Liturgie, Lon., 1646, 4to: anon.; 1647. 4to: anon.; 1649, 4to: with his name. Bishop Heber classes this among the best of his Polemical Discourses.

3. New and Easy Institution of Grammar, 1647, 4to. In this he was assisted by William Wyatt, to whom the book has been ascribed.

4. Discourse of the Liberty of Prophesying, shewing the Unreasonableness of Prescribing to Other Men's Faith, and the Iniquity of Persecuting Different Opinions, 1647, 4to; 1650, 4to. Many edits. With an Introd. Essay by Rev. R. Cattermole, 1834, 12mo. See RUTHERFORD, SAMUEL, No. 9, (an answer to this;) STILLINGFLEET, EDWARD, No. 1.

"The most curious, and perhaps the ablest, of all his compositions. His admirable Liberty of Prophesying' was composed, as he tells Lord Hatton, under a host of grievous disadvantages: in adversity and want; without books or leisure; and with no other resources than those which were supplied by a long famili arity with the sacred volume, and a powerful mind imbued with all the learning of past ages."-BISHOP HEBER: Life of Taylor.
