h the newly formed society did not continue more than about six years. During this period, he published the work by which he is chiefly known to posterity as a theologian,—a Paraphrase on some of the Epistles of St. Paul, after the manner of Mr. Locke. He began with the Epistle to the Colossians, which having been received with great favour by the public, was speedily followed by the Epistle to the Philippians. His next attempt was on the Epistle to the Hebrews, which however he did not lis completed by Mr. Hallet, junior, his colleague and successor. These are performances of great ability, and justly maintain a high reputation among biblical scholars. They profess to be a sequel, as far as they go, to the well-known works of Mr. Locke, and are formed for the most part on his plan; but the notes are considerably more elaborate and extended. In point of doctrine, as may be expected, they have a decided leaning in favour of the author's high Arian principles. While he was e

To these were added dissertations on inspiration,—on the abolitionrhaps, too much to say, and it is a high commendation, that it is not unworthy to be ranked as a sequel to the labours of Locke and Peirce.

lt on the rights of the Dissenters, to a full toleration; and argued the question on those enlarged and general principles which recommended him to the notice of Mr. Locke, with whose friendship, during the short remainder of that great man's life, he continued to be honoured. It is not improbable that to his intercourse with Mr. Mr. Locke we may in part ascribe the diligent attention to theological pursuits, scarcely met with in laymen, for which he afterwards became remarkable, and by the result of which he is now chiefly remembered. It is also reasonable to conclude, that the early disciple of Locke was even at this period not averse to his theological viLocke was even at this period not averse to his theological views; a circumstance which when we consider how well known those views were, and in what light they were regarded by the orthodox—and that Mr. Shute was nevertheless, and continued to be, a man of great influence among the English Presbyterians, may afford us no unplausible ground for the belief that, so early as the very beginning

5 appeared the Paraphrase on the Epistle to the Romans, Among Dr. Taylor's manuscripts, is a paraphrase and practical commentary on the Epistle to the Ephesians. to which is prefixed, A Key to the Apostolic Writings. In this admirable work, the author lays down a principle and mode of interpretation which is better adapted than any other to the right understanding of these (to us) confessedly difficult and obscure compositions. In its main outlines, it seems to have been suggested by Mr. Locke; and is detailed at some length in his note on Romans v. 6-8. In the first place, it is important always to remember that the apostolic writings are chiefly letters, suggested—most of them evidently, and the others in all probability—by the circumstances, and referring to the peculiar wants, conditions, and characters of their correspondents. We are therefore to infer, that, although they doubtless contain indirectly and incidentally an illustration of many important general principles o

l disputation, when he took his degree of Doctor in Divinity, in the College at Edinburgh, May 27, 1743. In this dissertation he ably refutes the notion strongly insisted on by many sceptical writers, and somewhat incautiously admitted even by Mr. Locke, that the probability of facts depending on human testimony must gradually lessen in proportion to the distance of the time when they happened, and at last become entirely evanescent. With respect to traditional evidence, properly so called, iat time gave a more than ordinary lustre to this seat of learning: among the rest, Dr. T. Blackwell, Dr. G. Turnbull, Dr. Reid, Messrs. Duncan and David Fordyce, and Mrs. Cockburne, well known as an able defender of the metaphysical principles of Locke and Clarke. On his return from Aberdeen, Mr. Aikin became for a short time an assistant to his former friend and tutor, Dr. Doddridge; agreeably to the practice which that eminent man was accustomed to pursue in the conduct of his academy, by
