PRINTED FOR J. WALKER; W. J. AND J. RICHARDSON; SOME ACCOUNT OF THE LIFE AND WRITINGS OF JACOB BRYANT, ESQ. THE HE earliest authentic account we can obtain of the birth of this learned and celebrated writer, is from the Register Book of Eton College, in which he is entered" of Chatham, in the county of Kent, of the age of twelve years, in 1730,"-consequently, born in 1718. Whence a difference has arisen between the dates in this entry, and the inscription on his monument, hereafter given, we are unable to explain. |
