JEREMIAH, one of the most learned scholars and acute critics of the age, was born in 1692, and received his education in Christ's hospital. He became first publicly known by his Epistol Critica, addressed to Bishop Hare. In this he gave many proofs of extensive erudition and critical sagacity. He afterwards published an edition of Statius, and some plays of Euripides; and assisted Dr Taylor in his editions of Lytias and Demosthenes, by the notes which he communicated to him. He has also very happily elucidated some passages in the New Testament, which may be found in Mr Bowyer's edition of it; and was author of a very valuable volume of remarks on the epistles of Cicero to Brutus, and of an excellent little treatise under the title of Quelio Grammatica. He died in 1775, at Milton near Dorking in Surrey; and was a man not more valued for his universal reading, than beloved for the excellency of his heart and primitive simplicity of his manners.
