Those positions combined with income from his estate made him both financially secure and almost free from prescribed duties. His great researches on optics were the first fruits of that freedom. However at the same time he became an earnest student of both alchemy and of theology. His surviving manuscripts show that in the latter field he reached firstly an anti-Trinitarian or Arian position which developed into an even more radical position which saw Jesus as merely the latest of a series of prophets sent by God to reclaim mankind from false gods a position Newton developed in the 1680s in the unpublished manuscript of "his most important theological composition 'Theologiae gentilis origines philosophicae' 'The philosophical origins of gentile theology'" O.D.N.B.<br />Such opinions were completely unacceptable to contemporary society and Newton realising that they would have undermined his position kept them a closely guarded secret but in later life he revisited the treatise and "thoroughly purged it became his 'Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended' 1728. The original treatise he kept to himself . When he died his heirs found the completed manuscript of the Chronology which they immediately sold to a publisher for £350" O.D.N.B. and the book was published shortly thereafter.<br />The book was distributed in Dublin by Smith and Bruce. John Smith an Ulster Presbyterian whose radical activities had led to his expulsion from Glasgow University in 1722 came to Dublin in 1724 where with the sympathetically minded William Smith and later William Bruce he established a book-selling business. They were notable for their intellectual and continental connections they were cousins of the philosopher Francis Hutcheson and their publication of works challenging conventional opinions. <br />E. Hudson is probably Edward Hudson 1703 ca. - 1757 of Ardee Co. Louth who having entered Trinity College in 1722 aged 19 became a Fellow in 1728 the year of publication of this book. He was later Rector of Omagh. The signature on the title page may be that of Rev. George Thomas Payne 1819-1888 of Kilkenny who had entered T.C.D. in 1833.</p> Printed for J. Tonson, J.

1793List2998Charlestown Ohio County Virginia now Brooke County West Virginia 1793. Single two-page letter measuring 7 ½ x 12 ½ inches. Folded with small tears at folds some holes intersecting with text; overall excellent. A letter from Isaac Prince Robbins 1770–1846 in what is now West Virginia to his parents Rev. Chandler Robbins 1738–1799 and Jane Prince 1740–1800 in Plymouth Massachusetts. Isaac Robbins was likely teaching in the area as he mentions the “price of my school†and that the oncoming spring had “call’d the larger scholars away†to farm. He also notes that smallpox had been running through the area and inquires about the family’s health as they had contracted the disease the previous October.<br /> <br /> Robbins also informs his family that there is “No prospect of peace while the Indians commit depredations as frequent as they do. Kill’d and took seven families at a station 30 miles this side Lymestone Kentucky Landingâ€. It is not clear whether he is referring to “Hartshorne’s defeat†part of the Northwest Indian War where the Northwestern Confederacy attacked Euro-American settlers near Limestone now Maysville—this attack occurred in 1790 though it is possible that Robbins had not contacted his family since prior to this event.<br /> <br /> He closes by ruminating on his own sin telling his parents “I have erred and gone astray point out to me the way that I shall ask forgiveness whereby I can be saved.†This letter probably predates Isaac Robbins’ following in his father’s footsteps and becoming a minister.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of the settlement of West Virginia and related conflicts with Indigenous tribes. unknown

An author of some stature he worked closely with Henry Fielding and was one of the writers satirized in Pope's Dunciad. The Case of Authors is one of his most important and enduring works. It argues that the decline of aristocratic patronage has placed the writer at the mercy of the marketplace with negative financial artistic and intellectual consequences. Although it sold poorly it went on to influence literary criticism and the development of copyright law. It was reissued in 1762. Cited in works by Oliver Goldsmith and Thomas Babington Macaulay it also influenced the Essay on the Manners and Genius of the Literary Character. It was a popular book that reached its fourth edition in 1828. Its author the father of the Prime Minister was a notable literary scholar and essayi. unknown books
