"In Wyntoun's Chronicle the historian may find what, for want of more ancient records, which have long ago perished, we must now consider as the original accounts of many transactions, and also many events related from his own knowledge or the reports of eye-witnesses. His faithful adherence to his authorities appears from comparing his accounts with unquestionable Vouchers, such as the Foedera Angliæ, and the existing remains of the Register of the Priory of St. Andrews,'-that venerable monument of ancient Scottish history and antiquities, generally coeval with the facts recorded in it,-whence he has given large extracts almost literally translated."-DAVID MACPHERSON: Preface to the Cronykil.

Brit., Jacob's Poets, and Johnson's Poets,) the son of Thomas Youlding, an exciseman in Oxford, and b. at that place, Jan. 2, 1669-70; admitted of Magdalene College, Oxford, (where he was intimate with Sacheverell and Addison,) 1690, and became Fellow, 1700; presented to the living of Willoughby, Warwickshire, 1700, and chosen Lecturer of Moral Philosophy at Oxford, 1701; became Rector of Chalton and Cleanville in Hertfordshire, and had also the sinecure prebends of Deans, Harris, and Pendles in Devonshire; Preacher of Bridewell Hospital, 1713; arrested for supposed complicity with what is known as Bishop Atterbury's Plot, in 1722, but soon cleared and released; d. July 16, 1736. He published an Ode for St. Cecilia's Day, 1693; On the Conquest of Namur, a Pindaric Ode, 1695, fol.; The Temple of Fame, a Poem, 1700, fol.; a collection of fables in verse, under the title of Esop at Court, 1702, repub. in Nichols's Collection, vol. iv. 198226; an Essay on the Character of Sir Willoughby Ashton, a Poem, 1704, fol.; On the Mines of Carbery Price, a Poem; A Hymn to Darkness; A Hymn to Light; a translation of the Second Book of Ovid's Art of Love, and other translations and poems; a Sermon on Daniel iv. 27, 1721, 4to, and a Sermon on Isaiah lviii. 10, 11, 1728, 4to. Nine of his poems are in Dryden's (Tonson's) Third Miscellany, 1693, 8vo, and 1726; seven in Dryden's Fourth Miscellany, 1694, 8vo; some in Lintot's Miscellanies, 1709 and 1726; some in Nichols's Collection, vols. iii. and iv.; and collections of his poems, with memoirs, will be found in the British Poets of Johnson and Chalmers, vol. xi., Dr. Anderson, vol. vii., and Robert Walsh, vol. xvii.

"Of his poems, many are of that irregular kind which, when he formed his poetical character, was supposed to be Pindaric. Having fixed his attention on Cowley as a model, he has attempted in some sort to rival him, and has written a Hymn to Darkness,' evidently as a counterpart to Cowley's Hymn to Light.' This hymn seems to be his best performance, and is, for the most part, imagined with great vigour and expressed with great propriety.. .. His 'Hymn to Light' is not equal to the other.... Of his other poems it is sufficient to say that they deserve perusal, though they are not always exactly polished, though his rhymes are sometimes very ill sorted, and though his faults seem rather the omissions of idleness than the negligences of enthusiasm."-DR. JOHNSON: Lives of the Eng. Poets, Cunning ham's ed., (in which some of Johnson's errors are corrected,) 1854, ii. 314, 315.

Johnson tells us (Life of Dr. Watts) that it was by his recommendation that the poems of Yalden, Pomfret, Watts, and Blackmore were included in the edition of the English Poets for which he furnished the Lives. As a prose writer, Yalden is favourably known by Squire Bickerstaff Detected; or, The Astrological Impostor Convicted, a mock answer to Swift's attacks on Partridge, (see PARTRIDGE, JOHN,) written by Yalden at the request of the latter, and published by him in his own name, in entire innocence respecting the joke. This witty piece was republished in Swift's Works. See Bliss's Wood's Athen. Oxon., iv. 601, Cibber's Lives, and authorities above cited.
