Lubbock's banking-house, and afterwards received the appointment of Assistant Secretary to the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce, which post he held for several years; during the last forty years of his life resided in a small house at Walworth, (partially supported by an income of £100 from his friend Mr. W. Meredith, which he enjoyed until his death,) industriously occupied in those classical translations which had been his delight from his youth; d. at Walworth, November 1, 1835.

"Thanks to the learning and industry of Messrs. Sydenham and Taylor, we have now the whole of the works of this wonderful philosopher brought within the reach of the English public, with a great variety of learned notes and instructive dissertations. The works of Plato may be properly considered the Scriptures of the ancient heathen world."-DR. ADAM CLARKE.

This edition is critically reviewed in the Edinburgh Review for April, 1809, 187-211; and, whilst Sydenham's scholarship is commended, Taylor is castigated without mercy:

"Mr. Taylor has done it shockingly. His language is stiff and awkward, and uncouth to a degree that has hardly any example even among those literal translations which have been provided for the use of schools. Nor is this the worst. Mr. Taylor has by no means given us a fair representation even of the meaning in the most cruel and abominable manner. of Plato. He has not translated Plato; he has travestied him He has not eluci

dated, but covered him over with impenetrable darkness. Any competent scholar has but to open the book,-and if he compares one page with the original the chance is great that he will light upon more blunders than one.... We are quite satisfied that his general practice has been to interpret directly from the Latin translation, without so much as looking at the Greek ; for the cases are so numerous in which we have found his translation an exact copy of the Latin, and in which an inspection of the Greek could hardly have failed to convince him he was wrong, that we have been unable to form any other conclusion. lamentable deficiency in every requisite for the performance of ... We have already adduced abundant proof of Mr. Taylor's his arduous task."-Pp. 190, 201, 211.

He published the Abridgment of Edwards's History of the West Indies, 1794, 3 vols. 8vo, (see EDWARDS, BRYAN, M.P.,) and contributed many papers to the Classical Journal, Nos. 32, 33, 34, 42, 43, 45, 47, 48, 51, 52, 55, 56, 57, and 58, and the European and Monthly Magazines. Of these fugitive pieces a complete collection of the Chaldæan Oracles was republished by Mr. Cory. These and Mr. Taylor's other persevering labours in his chosen department of research failed to kindle the first spark of gratitude in the bosom of the "Literary Idler" of Blackwood's Magazine, who thus irreverently assails the Philosopher of Walworth:

"If I knew Valpy, I should certainly expostulate with him for allowing Taylor the Platonist to write in his journal. The man is an ass, in the first place; secondly, he knows nothing of the religion of which he is so great a fool as to profess himself a votary; and, thirdly, he knows less than nothing of the language about which he is continually writing."-June, 1825, 737: Note-Book of a Literary Idler, No. 1.

I told him it was not creditable that no one in all the country knew any thing of Thomas Taylor the Platonist, whilst in every American library his translations are found. I said, If Plato's Republic wero published in England, as a new book, to-day, do you think it would find any readers?' He confessed it would not: and yet,' he added, after a pause, with that complacency which never deserts a true-born Englishman, and yet we have embodied it 1838, 40-44. all."-Emerson's Representative Men, Lon., 1850, 39.

The author of the obituary notice of Taylor in the London Athenæum tells us that

"Mr. Taylor was not so much a Platonist as a Neo-Platoni cian; he followed less the pure doctrines of the Academy than their extension by the school of Alexandria and the Sophists. ... The compound of all Eastern and Western metaphysics preached by the later Platonicians, patronized by the emperor Julian, and advocated by the Sophists, as a rival to Christianity, is really the Platonic system developed by Mr. Taylor. His admiration of these writers was unbounded; and his enthusiasm was not at all abated by finding himself alone in his worship." -1835, 874.
