TUCKER (Abraham), Esq; a curious and original thinker, was a gentleman of affluent fortune, and author of "The Light of Nature pursued," 9 vols 8vo; of which the five first volumes were published by himself in 1768, under the assumed name of "Edward Search, Esq;" and the four last after his death, in 1777, as "The posthumous Work of Abraham Tucker, Esq; published from his manuscript as intended for the press by the author." Mr Tucker lived at Betchworth-castle, near Dorking, in Surrey; an estate which he purchased in the early part of his life. He married the daughter of Edward Barker, Esq; by whom he had two daughters; one of whom married Sir Henry St John, and died in his lifetime; the other survived, and now lives at Betchworth-castle. He lost his eyesight a few years before his death, which happened in 1775. To describe him as a neighbour, landlord, father, and magistrate, it would be necessary to mention the most amiable qualities in each. It is unnecessary to add, that he was very sincerely regretted by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance, and who stood connected with him in any of those relations.
