Bishop Jeremy Taylor, His Predecessors Contemporaries and Successors: A Biography. E-book. Formato PDF Robert Aris Willmott - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
Rej oicing with 7arburton to boast my vene ration for two names — Hooker and Taylor whose virtues would atone for a bad age, as their abilities might have made the worst age the most prosperous, I found in the task no ordinary charm. Nor has it suffered the ex haustion of frequent pens. With the exception of the Memoirs by Archdeacon Bonney and Bishop Heber, no effort, I think, has been made to illustrate the fortunes or genius of Taylor. Towards the close of the eighteenth century, Mr. Wheeldon, a clergyman in Hert fordshire, compiled a book with the attractive title. Of a Life of Taylor, but consisting entirely of extracts from his writings, and a reprint of the funeral sermon by Bishop Rust. Mr. Bonney's Memoir is of a higher class, containing much pleasing information, and many critical remarks, just and valuable.
