Isaac Taylor LL.D. 1787-1865 the son of an Independent minister; English man of letters. Taylor studied for the ministry as an Independent and also to enter law and finally decided to devote himself to study and writing becoming somewhat of a literary recluse. The results of his studies were works which were hailed as original and valuable by the leading thinkers of his day. �The name of Isaac Taylor in connection with the philosophy of human nature as developed in his Histories of Enthusiasm Fanaticism and Spiritual Despotism in connection with his physical theories on the spiritual state and also in connection with his more recent advocacy of the sanctity and inviolability of moral obligation will ever hold a decided place in the history of English thinking during the nineteenth century.� � Morrell History and Critical Review of the Speculative Philosophy of Europe in the Nineteenth Century as quoted in Allibone 1891.

Frontispiece wood engraving plus many more in the text; 88 pages with light foxing. This includes The Catechism of Scripture Names; The First Catechism; The Second Catechism extracted from Dr. Watts; and A Preservative from the Sins and Follies of Childhood and Youth.Isaac Watts 1674-1748; English Independent minister author and hymn-writer. "Watts was one of the most popular writers of his day. His educational materials - the 'Catechisms' 1730 and the 'Scripture History' 1732 were still standard works in the middle of this the 19th century. His philosophical books especially the 'Logic' 1726 had a long circulation; so also had his 'World to Come' 1738 and other works of popular divinity. The best of his works is 'The Improvement of the Mind' 1741 which Johnson eulogises.The poetry of Watts took the religious world of dissent by storm. It gave an utterance till then unheard in England to the spiritual emotions in their contemplation of God's glory in nature and his revelation in Christ and made hymn-singing a fervid devotional force.The Calvinism of Watts was of the milder type which shrinks from the doctrine of reprobation. He held liberal views on education. His tolerance and love of comprehension degenerated at times into weakness; as in his proposal to unite the Independents and Baptists by surrendering the doctrine of infant baptism if the baptists would give up immersion. His learning and piety attracted a large circle including Doddridge Lady Hertford afterwards Duchess of Somerset the first Lord Barrington Bishop Gibson Archbishop Hort and Archbishop Secker. The university of Edinburgh gave him an honorary D.D. degree 1728." - DNB. American Tract Society unknown
