Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermons on Several Subjects, Vol. 1 Notwithstanding this evident Disadvantage, at the Age of Nineteen he had not only made a considerable Progress in Greek and Latin, and read the best and most difficult Writers in both Languages, but had acquired a Knowledge of French, Hebrew, Chaldee, and Syriac, had learned Geography, Logic, Algebra, Geometry, Conic Sections, and gone through a Course of Lectures on Jewish Antiquities, and other Points, preparatory to the critical Study of the Bible. At the same Time, in one or other of those Seminaries, he had the good Fortune to meet, and to form an Acquaintance, with several Persons of great Abilities. Amongst the rest, in the Academy of one Mr. Jones, kept first at Gloucester, then at Tewkesbury, he laid the Foundation of a strict Friendship with Mr. Joseph Butler, afterwards Bishop of Durham. At the last of those two Places it was that Mr. Butler gave the first Proof of his great Sagacity and Depth of Thought in the Letters which he then wrote to Dr. Samuel Clarke; laying before him the Doubts that had arisen in his Mind, concerning the Conclusiveness of some Arguments in the Doctor´s Demonstration of the Being and Attributes of God.
