"The character which must be given of the several writings | of Woodhouse entitles us to suppose that the revolution in our mathematical studies of which he was the first promoter would

not have been brought about so easily if its earliest advocacy had fallen into less judicious hands. . . . The few who can appreciate what he did will always regard him as one of the most philosophical thinkers and useful guides of his time."-Knight's Eng. Cyc., Biog., vi. (1858) 804.

Com

Dr. Woods has erected an enduring monument to his memory, which we doubt not will long be cherished with affection and respect. All the works here collected bear the impress of a perspicuous, wise, and devout mind, and may be recommended to a very large class of readers as a storehouse of theological truth. We hope to have an opportunity of presenting a more extended estimate of the character of these volumes."-PROFESSOR HODGE: Princeton Review.

"The works of Dr. Woods have to me, I must say, a peculiar charm. They have a vividness of thought and language, as of theological system, which very many readers will be prewell as an accuracy of Scriptural truth and a healthy soundness

pared to value."-REV. DR. BURDER.

"We earnestly recommend these valuable works to our younger ministers, and especially to students in theology. In our judgment, they cannot find an uninspired guide more worthy of their acquaintance and their confidence."-Lon. Eran. Mag.

"It was a kind providence for the New England churches that... a man like Dr. Woods was called to the chair of theology in the seminary at Andover. He is emphatically the ‘judicious' divine of the later New England theology. He educated a generation of preachers [more than 1000 in number] who had neither crotchets nor airy aims."-HENRY B.

Woodward, John, M.D., an eminent geologist, founder of the professorship of geology at Cambridge, was b. in Derbyshire, 1665, and studied philosophy, anatomy, and physic under Dr. Peter Barwick, in whose house he was resident, and chiefly by whose influence he was in 1692 elected Professor of Physic in Gresham College; d. 1728. 1.

It was also attacked by Dr. Martin Lister, in three pieces. All these objectors were answered by John Harris, D.D., in his Remarks on some Late Papers relating to the Universal Deluge, and to the Natural History of the Earth, 1697, 8vo. The Latin translation, 1704, 8vo, elicited some objections from Leibnitz and others, (expressed in letters to the author;) and Elias Camerarius, of Tübingen, attacked it in some Latin dissertations printed in 1712. Woodward replied in-2. Naturalis Historia Telluris illustrata et aucta; una cum ejusdem defensione; præsertim contra nuperas objectiones El. Camerarii, Lon., 1714, 8vo.

origin of the Indians, Dr. Cotton Mather expresses the opinion that the subject would be settled when Woodward should publish his Natural History. The work introduced important truths: it is no marvel that it should also contain some grave errors. It was intended only as a precursor to a great work on the same subject, for which he was gathering materials until death would wait no longer :-the old story, (see BAKER, THOMAS; COLE, WILLIAM.)

"The adventure of the Shield [in the Memoirs of Scriblerus] was designed against Dr. Woodward and the Antiquaries.”POPE: Spence's Anecdotes.

This famous shield of Camillus (purchased by Woodward about 1693 for £4, and sold at Col. King's sale, in 1768, for £400) called forth the learning of Dodwell, Downes, Spanheim, Seller, Moyle, Ward, and Gough. "Who Nature's treasures would explore, Her mysteries and arcana know, Must high with lofty Newton soar,

Must stoop as delving Woodward low."
