Roman History to the Destruction of the Greek Empire, Lon.. 1792, 12mo. at Newark; left school (he was never at college) in 1715; served as an attorney's clerk until April, 1719; was admitted to one of the courts at Westininster, and for about four years practised as an attorney at Newark; received deacon's orders, 1723; became Vicar of Gryesly, 1726; Rector of Burnt or Brant Broughton, near Newark, 1728; Chaplain to the Prince of Wales, 1738; Preacher to Lincoln's Inn, 1746; Prebendary of Gloucester, 1753; Chaplain-in-Ordinary to George II., 1754; Prebendary of Durham, 1755; Dean of Bristol, 1757; Bishop of Gloucester, 1759; d. at Gloucester, June 11, 1779. When he first came to London (in 1726) he became intimate with Theobald, Concanen, and other antagonists of Pope, and cast in his lot with them; but a timely defence (in seven Letters in The Works of the Learned, 1739-40) of The Essay on Man gained him the friendship of the poet, an introduction to Prior Park, and eventually the hand and fortune of Miss Gertrude Tucker, niece to Ralph Allen, the proprietor of that splendid estate. His marriage to Miss Tucker occurred in September, 1745; she inherited her uncle's property on his death, in 1764; in 1781 married the bishop's former chaplain, the Rev. John Stafford Smith, (who thus became owner of Prior Park) and in 1788 defrayed the expenses of Bishop Hurd's edition of her first husband's Works in 7 vols. 4to. We have already so often had occasion to notice the literary friendships and quarrels of this doughty polemic, that a reference to a number of preceding articles (ut infra) will save the repetition of many statements which otherwise would naturally be expected in the present sketch.

A French translation of book iv., sect. ii.-vi.,-Essai sur les Hiéroglyphiques des Egyptiens, &c.,-was published at Paris, 1744, 2 vols. 12mo. Perhaps no work in English Theology has attracted more attention among the learned than The Divine Legation of Moses. In describing its design and character I shall adduce the language of some of Warburton's best reviewers: literature. "We are now to consider this mighty man more distinctly in his works. Of these the most illustrious, and alone sufficient to confer immortality on any name, is The Divine Legation of Moses, a work so original in its conception, so vigorous in its execution, enlivened by so many sallies of an exuberant imagination, and diversified by so many entertaining episodes and excursions, that, after having struggled through the first impediments of prejudice and detraction, it took its place at the head,we do not say of English theology only, but almost of English To the composition of this prodigious performance Hooker and Stillingfleet could have contributed the erudition, Chillingworth and Locke the acuteness, Taylor an imagination even more wild and copious, Swift, and perhaps Echard, the sarcastic vein of wit: but what power of understanding, excepting that of Warburton, could first have amassed all these materials and then compacted them into a bulky and elaborate work so consistent and harmonious? The principle of the work was no less bold and original than the execution. That the doctrine of a future state of reward and punishment was omitted in the books of Moses, had been insolently urged by infidels against the truth of his mission, while divines were feebly occupied in seeking what was certainly not to be found there otherwise than by inference and implication. But Warburton, with an intrepidity unheard of before, threw open the gates of his camp, admitted the host of the enemy within his works, and beat them on a ground which was now become his and theirs. In short, he admitted the proposition in its fullest extent, and proceeded to demonstrate that from that very omission, which, in all instruDuents of legislation merely human, had been industriously avoided, that a system which could dispense with a doctrine the very bond and cement of human society must have come from God, and that the people to whom it was given must have been placed under his immediate superintendence. . . . Warburton's Divine Legation is one of the few theological, and still fewer controversial, works, which scholars perfectly indifferent to such subjects will ever read with delight."-REV. T. D. WHITAKER. D.D.: Lom. Quar. Rev., vii. 397, 398, 399. This review has been highly commended: "So masterly a piece of criticism has rarely surprised the public in the leaves of a periodical publication."-I. D'ISRAELI: Quarrels of Authors: Warburton. "An article of uncommon ability."-Chalmers's Biog. Dict., xxxi. 106, n. I continue my quotations respecting The Divine Legation: "A work in all views of the most transcendent merit, whether we consider the invention or the execution. A plain, simple argument, yet perfectly new, proving the divinity of the Mosaic law, and laying a sure foundation for the support of Christianity there, is drawn out to great length by a chain of reasoning so elegantly connected that the reader is carried along with it with ease and pleasure; while the matter presented to him is so striking for its own importance, so embellished by a lively fancy, and illustrated from all quarters by exquisite learning and the most ingenious disquisition, that in the whole compass of modern or ancient theology there is nothing equal or similar to this extraordinary performance."-BISHOP HURD: Discourse, &c. on Warburton, 1794, 4to. the uncertain and probably false suppositions about the pantheism of the ancient philosophers and the object of the mysteries (in reality, perhaps, somewhat like the freemasonry of our own times) are well adapted to rouse and exercise the adventurous genius of youth."-SIR JAMES MACKINTOSH: Life, ch, i. Warburton, with all his boldness and ingenuity, was not profoundly read in the Greek philosophers: he caught at single sentences which favoured his own views, rather than fully represented the spirit and opinions of his authors. The great proof of the discernment of Warburton was his dim second-sight of the modern discoveries in hieroglyphics," &c.-H. H. MILMAN, D.D.: Life of Gibbon, 1839, 8vo, 223. See, also, his Hist. of Lat. Chris., vol. viii. b. xiv. ch. viii. "The Divine Legation of Moses is a monument, already crumbling into dust, of the vigour and the weakness of the human mind. If Warburton's new argument proved any thing, it would be a demonstration against the legislator who left his people without the knowledge of a future state. But some episodes of the work, on the Greek philosophy, the hieroglyphics of Egypt, &c., are entitled to the praise of learning, imagination, and discernment."-EDWARD GIBBON: Miscell. Works, ed. 1837, 88, n. It will be remembered that Gibbon wrote his Critical Observations on the Design of the Sixth Book of the 670-692) to confute a hypothesis of Warburton's in the Eneid (repub. in his Miscellaneous Works, ed. 1837, Divine Legation: see GIBBON, EDWARD, (p. 662;) Field's Memoirs of Dr. Parr, i. 263. "His Divine Legation of Moses,'-the most learned, most arrogant, and most absurd work which has been produced in England for a century."-LORD JEFFREY: Edin. Rev., xiii. 346. Parts of his system are true, and important, and well supported; but his main principle is a fallacy: unfounded in itself, and incapable of demonstrating the Divine Legation of Moses, were it even true."-Orme's Bibl, Bib., 457. "To any one who had read the extracts in the last Note, but still more to one who was familiar with the ancient writers from whose works they are taken, it might appear quite impossible of antiquity in a Future State, and the belief of some of the that a question should ever be raised upon the general belief most eminent of the philosophers, at least, in a state of rewards and punishments. Nevertheless, as there is nothing so plain to which the influence of a preconceived opinion and the desire of furthering a favourite hypothesis will not blind men, and as their blindness in such cases bears even a proportion to their learning and ingenuity, it has thus fared with the point in question, and Bishop Warburton has denied that any of the ancients, except Socrates, really believed in a future state of the soul individually and subject to reward or punishment. He took up this argument because it seemed to strengthen his extraordinary reasoning upon the Legation of Moses. It is therefore necessary first to state how his doctrine bears upon that reasoning. "His reasoning is this. The inculcating of a future state of retribution is necessary to the well-being of society. All men, and especially all the wisest nations of antiquity, have agreed in holding such a doctrine necessary to be inculcated. But there is nothing of the kind to be found in the Mosaic dispensation. And here he pauses to observe that these propositions seem too clear to require any proof. Nevertheless, his whole work is consumed in proving them, and the conclusion from the whole, that therefore the Mosaic law is of Divine original, is left for a further work, which never appeared; and yet this is the very position which all, or almost all, who may read the book, and even yield their assent to it, are the most inclined to reject. Indeed, it may well be doubted if this work, learned and acute as it is, and showing the author to be both well read and well fitted for controversy, ever satisfied any one, except, perhaps, Bishop Hurd, or ever can demonstrate any thing so well as it proves the preposterous and perverted ingenuity of an able and industrious man. He "That such was very far from being the author's opinion, we have ample proof. He terms his work A Demonstration.' describes his reasoning as very little short of mathematical certainty, and to which nothing but a mere physical possi "So many beautiful thoughts, such an ingenious illustrationbility of the contrary can be opposed;' and he declares his only of them, such a clear connection, such a deduction of notions, and so much learning upon so useful a subject, all expressed in proper and fine language, cannot but give an intelligent reader the greatest satisfaction."-BISHOP FRANCIS HARE. The man "I am well informed that Warburton said of Johnson, 'I admire him, but I cannot bear his style,' and that Johnson, being told of this, said, That is exactly my case as to him.' ner in which he expressed his admiration of Warburton's genius and of the fertility of his materials was, 'The table is always full, sir. He brings things from the north and the south, and from every quarter. In his "Divine Legation" you are always entertained. He carries you round and round, without carrying you forward to the point; but then you have no wish to be carried forward.' He said to the Rev. Mr. Strahan, Warburton is perhaps the last man who has written with a mind full of reading and reflection.'"-BOSWELL: Life of Dr. Johnson, ch. Ixxi. "On the learned Warburton, then in the outset of his fame, Bentley remarked [on the perusal of vol. i. of The Divine Legation, it is said] that there seemed to be in him a voracious appetite for knowledge, but he doubted if there was a good digestion." RICHARD CUMBERLAND: Memoirs, 1806. See MILTON, JOHN, (p. 1307.) "Warburton's Divine Legation delighted me more than any book I had yet [at 15] read. The luminous theory of hiero difficulty to be in telling whether the pleasure of the discovery, or the wonder that it is now to make, be the greater.' Accordingly, in the correspondence between him and his friend Bishop Hurd, the complete success of the 'Demonstration' is always assumed, and the glory of it is made the topic of endless and even mutual gratulation, not without pity and even vituperation of all who can remain dissatisfied, and who are habitually and complacently classed by name with the subjects of Pope's well-known satire. "The two things which the author always overlooked were the possibility of the human law-giver making an imperfect system, and of sceptics holding the want of the sanction in question to be no argument for the divine origin of the Mosaic law, but rather a proof of its flowing from a human and fallible source.... It seems, therefore, not too much to say that the Divine Legation' does not more completely fail in proving the grand paradox which forms the main object of the argument, and which has been parodied by Soame Jenyns in his most injudicious defence of Christianity, than it does in supporting the minor paradox which is taken up incidentally as to the real opinions of the ancients, and which, it must be admitted, is indeed quite unnecessary to the general argument, and as little damages it by its entire failure as it could help it by the most entire success."-LORD BROUGHAM: Discourse on Nature!

From the review of this edition (or vols. i.-vi. of it) in Lon. Quar. Rev., vii. 383, by Rev. T. D. Whitaker, we have had occasion more than once to quote. To these 12 vols. should be added-I. The Tracts, 1789, 8vo, and-II. Letters, 1809, 8vo, ut supra; III. Warburton's Letters to the Rt. Hon. Charles York from 1752 to 1770, 1812, 4to, pp. 105; privately printed by Lord Hardwicke; and the following volumes: IV.

The Life of William Warburton, Lord-Bishop of Gloucester from 1760 to 1779; with Remarks on his Works, by the Rev. John Selby Watson, 1863, Svo. This book seems to have been elicited by the following: “A good Life of Warburton, embracing the literary history of the period in relation to him and to his immediate contemporaries, is much to be desired."-Notes and Queries, Second Series, vol. ii. 96. Mr. Watson's volume has been well received: Exhaustive treatment is the capital recommendation of this Life. We have here, in one bale, consigned to posterity, all that it can want to know about The Divine Legation, its author, his quarrels and his friendships."-Lon. Reader, 1863, i. 111. "Mr. Watson's character of his hero is drawn with a firm and not a very tender hand. A question remains whether such a man as he has painted was worth the zeal, labour, patience, and ability which Mr. Watson has expended on the picture.". Lon. Athen., 1863, i. 147. Also reviewed in Edin. Rev., July, 1865, art. i. In the preparation of a new edition of his Life, it is to be hoped that Mr. Watson will be permitted the use of the Pope and Warburton Correspondence, consisting of about 150 letters, mostly unpublished, acquired in the year 1864 by the British Museum. We should not omit to state that Warburton, in his lifetime, gave £500 as a foundation for the Warburtonian Lectures on Prophecy: see lists of those that have been published, in Horne's Bibl.

"He joined to a most athletic strength of body a prodigious memory, and to both a prodigious industry. He had read almost constantly fourteen or fifteen hours a day for twenty-five or thirty years, and had heaped together as much learning as could be crowded into a head. In the course of my acquaintance with him I consulted him once or twice,-not oftener, for I found this mass of learning of as little use to me as to the LINGBROKE: Essay on the Study of History: Bolingbroke's Works, 1754, 5 vols. 4to, ii. 330. "He was a man of vigorous faculties, a mind fervid and vehement, supplied by incessant and unlimited inquiry with wonderful extent and variety of knowledge, which yet had not oppressed his imagination nor clouded his perspicacity. To every work he brought a memory full-fraught, together with a fancy fertile of original combinations, and at once exerted the powers of the scholar, the reasoner, and the wit. But his knowledge was too multifarious to be always exact, and his pursuits too eager to be always cautions. His abilities gave him a haughty confi:lence, which he disclaimed to conceal or modify; and his impatience of opposition disposed him to treat his adversaries with such contemptuous superiority as made his readers commonly his enemies, and excited against the advocate the wishes of some who favoured the cause. He seems to have adopted the Roman emperor's determination, oderint dum metuant; he used no allurements of gentle language, but wished to compel rather than persuade. "His style is copious without selection, and forcible without neatness; he took the words that presented themselves; his diction is coarse and impure, and his sentences are numeasured.” -DR. JOHNSON: Lires of the Eng. Poets: Pope: Cunningham's ed., 1854, iii. 68. See, also, Index, and Croker's Boswell's Johnson, Index. "Mr. Warburton is the greatest general critic I ever knew; the most capable of seeing through all the possibilities of things.' -POPE: Spence's Anecdotes, by Singer, ed. 1820, fol., 327. "The learning and abilities of the author (of The Divine Legation] had raised him to a just eminence; but he reigned the dictator and tyrant of the world of literature. The real merit of Warburton was degraded by the pride and presumption with which he pronounced his infallible decrees: in his polemic writings he lashed his antagonists without mercy or moderation; and his servile flatterers, (see the base and malignant Essay on the Delicacy of Friendship,) exalting the master-critic far above Aristotle and Longinus, assaulted every modest dissenter who refused to consult the oracle and to adore the idol. In a land of liberty, such despotism must provoke a general opposition; and the zeal of opposition is seldom candid or impartial.”— EDWARD GIBBON: Miscell. Works, ed. 1837, 87. See, also, 22, 670, "With eloquence so vigorous, knowledge so various, and genius so splendid, Warburton might justly have laughed at the censure of his contemporaries upon his want of skill in verbal criticism liotheca Parriana, 645. and his want of practice in Latin composition."-Dr. PARR: Bib "The English language, even in its widest extent, cannot furnish passages more strongly marked either by grandeur in thought, or by felicity in expression, than are to be found in the works of Bishop Warburton."-Dr. Parr. "Warburton's love of paradox is well known. His levity, dogmatism, and surliness have often been exposed. His love of notoriety and of the marvellous was certainly stronger than his attachment to truth. While his talents will always be admired, his character will never be respected."―ORME: Bibl. Bib.. 457. "The currents of life had drifted Warburton on divinity as his profession, but nature designed him for a satirist; and the propensity was too strong to yield even to the study of the Gospels.” -SIR J. STEPHEN: Elin. Rev., 1xvii. 507. original strength with this acquired scholarship is Grotius. Cud"The first name that occurs to us of one who conjoined this worth had both; Chillingworth had both; Brian Walton had both; Samuel Clarke had both; Warburton had pre-eminently both."-DR. THOMAS CHALMERS: Works, iii. 267. "The most dogmatical and arrogant of disputants."-SIR J. MACKINTOSH: Edin. Rev., xliv. 7, and in his Works, ed. 1854, i. 509. "A divine of almost unrivalled erudition (Jortin excepted) in his day."-H. H. MILMAN: Hist. of Lat. Chris., vol. viii. b. xiv. ch. viii., n. "Warburton, we think, was the last of our great divines-the last, perhaps, of any profession--who united profound learning with great powers of understanding, and along with vast and varied stores of acquired knowledge possessed energy of mind enough to wield them with ease and activity. The days of the Cudworths and Barrows, the Hookers and Taylors, are gone by. He was not only the last of our reasoning scholars, but the last also, we think, of our powerful polemics. His breed, too, we take it, is extinct; and we are not sorry for it.... The truth is, that this extraordinary person was a Giant in literature -with many of the vices of the Gigantic character."-LORD JEF FREY: Edin. Rev., xiii. (Jan. 1808) 343, 344, 345. The intimacy existing between Pope and Warburt‚n— greatly, as we have seen, to the advancement of the fortunes of the latter-is an interesting chapter of literary history; and we shall doubtless gratify our readers by quoting a letter from the admiring poet to the doughty polemic, after Warburton's return from a visit of nearly a fortnight to Twickenham: owner. The man was communicative enough, but nothing was distinct in his mind. How could it be otherwise? He had never “TWITENHAM, June 24, 1740. spared time to think,-all was employed in reading; his reason "It is true that I am a very unpunctual correspondent, though had not the merit of common mechanism. When you press a no unpunctual agent or friend; and that, in the commerce of watch or pull a clock, they answer your question with precision; words, I am both poor and lazy. Civility and compliment genbut when you asked this man a question, he overwhelmed you erally are the goods that letter-writers exchange, which, with by pouring forth all that the several terms or words of your honest men, seems a kind of illicit trade, by having been for the question recalled to his memory; and if he omitted any thing, most part carried on and carried furthest by designing men. I it was the very thing to which the sense of the whole question am therefore reduced to plain inquiries, how my friend does, and should have led him and confined him. To ask him a question what he does? and to repetitions, which I am afraid to tire him was to wind up a spring in his memory, that rolled on with vast with, how much I love him. Your two kind letters gave me real rapidity and confused noise till the force of it was spent; and satisfaction, in hearing you were safe and well, and in showing you went away with all the noise in your ears, stunned and uniu- me you took kindly my unaffected endeavours to prove my formed. I never left him that I was not ready to say to him, esteem for you, and delight in your conversation. Indeed, my 'Dieu vous fasse la grace de devenir moins savant.'"-LORD Bo-languid state of health, and frequent deficien y of spirits, together with a number of dissipations, et aliena negotia centum, all conspire "Do not therefore commend my talents, but instruct me by your own. I am not really learned enough to be a judge in works of the nature and depth of yours. But I travel through your book [The Divine Legation, &c.] as through an amazing scene of ancient Egypt or Greece, struck with veneration and wonder, but at every step wanting an instructor to tell me all I wish to know. Such you prove to me in the walks of antiquity; and such you will prove to all mankind; but with this additional character, more than any other searcher into antiquities, that of a genius equal to your pains, and of a taste equal to your learning. I am greatly obliged to you for what you have projected at Cambridge, in relation to my Essay, [a translation of it into Latin prose, suggested by Pope:] but more for the motive which did originally, and does consequentially in a manner, animate all your goodness to me, the opinion you entertain of my honest intention in that piece, and your zeal to demonstrate nie uo irreligious man, see POPE, ALEXANDER, p. 1632, supra.] I was very sincere with you in what I told you of my own opinion of my own character as a poet, and, I think I may conscientiously say, I shall die in it.
