Excerpt from The Life of Dr. John Colet, Dean of St. Paul's in the Reigns of K. Henry VII and K. Henry VIII, and Founder of St. Paul's School: With an Appendix, Containing Some Account of the Masters and More Eminent Scholars of That Foundation, and Several Original Papers Relating to the Said Life Though it may possibly be thought, by some less cu rious persons, a needless undertaking to write the Life of Dean Colet, who lived above two centuries ago, even before the blessed reformation of religion in this nation, especially since there have been some short essays of this nature al ready published: to obviate any objection of this nature, I shall only observe, that if there were no particular obliga tions to revive the memory of him, by reason of the noble foundation of his school, yet he was so considerable a man in other respects, that we cannot think it will be unaccept able to the public, to give a more full character of him than has been done as yet by any that have undertaken it. Indeed we find only loose and scattered memorials of him, and withal so much conciseness, so many very material cir cumstances omitted, so many facts (if touched upon) yet not pursued or set in a proper light, that the writers seemed to have had nothing more in view than just to let us know that there was once such a person living. But sure so great a man, as he will appear to be by the following narrative, deserves more than a bare remembrance, and merited too well of mankind to be put off with so slight a history. So much is mentioned by some of these writers as may help us to form an imperfect idea of him, but not enough to satisfy an inquisitive reader. I have therefore ventured upon larger memoirs of dean Colet, collected from the most authentic accounts of that time; and have diligently searched into the writings of his contemporaries, and from them illustrated the following Life. And here I must own, with the utmost gratitude, that I have received great assistance and encou. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: ADVERTISEMENT. JL HE present edition of the Life of Dean Colet has been undertaken by the Delegates of the Clarendon Press, at the solicitation of several distinguished persons connected with St. Paul's School. The original edition having been long out of print, it was suggested, that a new one would be acceptable to the public at large, but particularly so to those persons educated on Dean Colet's foundation; and accordingly it has been deemed expedient to reprint Dr. Knight's Life without alteration. Manifest errors however have been corrected, the references verified, and the quotations, and records in the Appendix, collated. A few notes have.bjeen.arlded Trom the margins of copies in the Bodlejp.n. Library, and the Index enlarged.;'..' j; The Plates have been entirely;1jaflgraved; and the Delegates have to acknowledge a donation of an hundred guineas from the Mercers' Company, for that purpose, which has materially lessened the price of the publication. June 6, 1823. TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SPENCER COMPTON, ESQ. SPEAKER TO THE HONOURABLE THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. Jl OUR known affection to St. Paul's school emboldens me to beg your patronage to the ensuing Life of our great founder, dean Colet; who, as he deserved well of mankind in general, so of those more especially who have had the happiness of being educated in his school: the which, among other great names, has reason to boast of you, as one of its chief worthies. Your great abilities have rendered you very eminently serviceable to the public in a post of great honour; and how well you have acquitted yourself in it, the universal suffrages of a British parliament have abundantly testified, by choosing you this second time to preside over them. I know your great load of public cares will not allow you...
