1765. The following lectures were begun by the author when he was a tutor in St. John's College in Cambridge, but he was prevented from finishing the comprehensive plan which the reader will find laid down in the beginning of them, by being called from this employment in College to the service of Archbishop Potter. They were, however, so nearly completed that the author, had he lived, intended to have published them himself. They are now faithfully printed from his manuscript copy without the least addition or alteration. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read. Written in Old English.
