in the pastoral charge of the congregation assembling in Eustace Street, in that city. In this connexion he continued during the remainder of a life protracted to the advanced period of eighty-three years, universally and deservedly respected. Of another grandson, the late excellent Mr. John Taylor, of Norwich, an interesting and de. tailed memoir from the pen of his son, Mr. Edward Taylor, will be found in the Monthly Repository for 1826. A third, Mr. Meadows Taylor, late of Diss, in Norfolk, is commemorated in the Christian Reformer for 1838. It is needless to advert more particularly to many others who still worthily maintain the character of the name they have inherited, and will, doubtless, one day receive from survivors the meed of grateful praise for eminent talents and valuable services. Late be the hour, and distant be the day! Dr. Taylor's zealously attached friend, the learned Dr. Edward Harwood—himself eminently qualified by his attainments to estimate rightl

ch,—best known under that designation, he having spent the most active, and brilliant, as well as the happiest portion of his life in that city,—deserves, and has always received, an honourable place among the most learned divines of the last century. His title to this rank has been generally acknowledged and recognized both by Churchmen and Dissenters; by those who differed from him most widely, as well as by those who agreed with him, in theological sentiments. He was born at or near Lancaster, in the year 1694. His father, who was a timber-merchant there, was a member of the Church of England; but his mother was a Dissenter. From his earliest years he shewed a strong disposition to engage in the ministry of the Gospel among Dissenters, in which he afterwards so eminently distinguished himself, and served the cause of religion and of truth. This appears from his own private memoranda, in which he has thus recorded the views with which he was actuated while prosecuting his stu

natural and revealed When engaged in preparing the notice of Dr. Taylor's descendants, in page 342, the author little thought that, even before it had passed through the press, he should be called on to record the loss of one of them, to whom the expressions there used were most peculiarly applicable, and to whose able and zealous exertions the interests of liberty, virtue, and religion were deeply indebted.—Edgar Taylor, the son of Samuel Taylor, Esq., of New Buckenham, in the county of Norfolk, and great grandson to the subject of this memoir, was born in 1793. He settled in London as a solicitor, and quickly attained to great eminence in that department of the legal profession; so that for a series of years he was the person on whom the Dissenters, particularly the Unitarian Dissenters, were accustomed chiefly to rely, whenever it was necessary to resort to legal measures for the maintenance or extension of their civil rights. As one of the Presbyterian Deputies, he was amo

n body rendered undesirable a continuance of a union which could only be nominal. At the same time, Mr. Taylor prepared, for the use of the younger part of the congregation, a Scripture Catechism, as better suited to its object, and to the prevalent views which they professed, than the Assembly's Catechism. Mr. Taylor's first publication was a prefatory discourse to a statement of the case of Mr. Joseph Rawson. This gentleman was excluded from communion with a congregational church at Nottingham, for refusing, after suspicions were entertained of his heterodoxy, to answer in other than scriptural language the following question put to him by the minister, Whether Jesus Christ is the one true supreme God, the same with the Father in Nature, and equal with him in all divine perfections. The publication appeared in 1737, without our author's name; and contains the most just and manly sentiments on the Common Rights of Christians. It gives a brief sketch of the rise and progress of

His ordination, as a preaching Presbyter, took place on the 11th day of April, 1716, and was conducted by the ministers of Derbyshire. The original instrument of his ordination is preserved by his descendants, and to it is attached a memorandum of the substance of his examination on that occasion. Kirkstead being a district of a peculiar character, formerly the possession of the Abbey of that name, and out of Episcopal jurisdiction, the chapel had continued in, or fallen into, the possession of the Dissenters, whose ministers conducted all the religious service of the district, the endowment being the gift of the fo

According to my observation, (says Jonathan Edwards, in the preface to his celebrated defence of this doctrine of original sin, itself one of the ablest works, if not the very ablest, on that side of the question) no one book has done so much towards rooting out of these western parts of New England the principles and scheme of religion maintained by our pious and excellent forefathers, the divines and Christians who first settled this country, and alienating the minds of many from what, I think, are evidently some of the main doctrines of the Gospel, as that which Dr. Taylor has published against the doctrine of original sin. Answers to this work were, soon after, published by Watts, Jennings, and Wesley; the latter of whom deals in an excess of theological vituperation, to which

Philip Taylor, late of Dublin, was born at Norwich, in 1747. He received his education first under Dr. Harwood, then of Congleton, afterwards in the academies of Exeter and Warrington. In 1767, he was chosen assistant to the Rev. John Brekell, of Benn's Garden, in Liverpool, whom he succeeded as minister of the congregation in 1770. In 1777 he removed to Dublin, as assistant to his father-in-law, the Rev. Dr. Weld, in the pastoral charge of the congregation assembling in Eustace Street, in that city.

He then gives a general review of the authors, and what they teach, from the Exodus to the building of the Temple, from thence to its destruction by Nebuchadnezzar; the moral causes of the captivity, and the purposes answered by it; the authors in both these periods, particularly the prophets, chronologically arranged.

lish and fifteen of the Irish Episcopal bench; a testimony to the author's high and deserved reputation as a scholar, which will be thought more creditable to both parties when we consider that his name, however distinguished, had been for many years chiefly known to the public from its connexion with obnoxious and unpopular theological tenets. He appears, indeed, to have been in communication with many of the ,most distinguished churchmen of his time, both for dignity and learning. With Dr. Hayter, then Bishop of Norwich, he constantly maintained a friendly correspondence and personal intercourse. He corresponded, too, with Michaelis and Kennicott, and particularly with Dr. Law, afterwards Bishop of Carlisle. In the interval between the publication of the first and second volumes, he received from the University of Glasgow the degree of D.
