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.
