Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The British Poets, Vol. 71 of 100: Including Translations The family of Soame Jenyns, on the side of both father and mother, was ancient and respectable. The original scat of his paternal line was Chnrchill, in Somersetshire; but a younger branch, from which he sprung, settled in Cambridgeshire, in the seventeenth century, and became of considerable consequence in that county. His father, Sir Roger Jenyns, who resided at Ely, was respected as an active magistrate and a loyal man, and was, therefore, knighted by king William: the dignity of knighthood not being then degraded into a mere bauble, to gratify the vanity of suddenly acquired wealth, or to repay the despicable labours of subservience and venality. His mother was one of the daughters of Sir Peter Soame, Bart, of Hayden in Essex; a woman who joined to the beauties of person the valuable and lasting charms of polished manners, an excellent understanding, and a mind more assiduously cultivated by reading than was usually the case with the ladies of that period. Soame Jenyns was born in Great Ormond Street, London, at midnight, in the year 1703-4. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
