Description

THE intrinsic interest of the essays contained in this volume, together with the high reputation of their author as a historian, a scholar, and a divine, miglit seem to render it unnecessary to recommend them to the attention of the reader by any prefatory observations. But, in addition to the value they mill other- trise possess, it is hoped they will serve as some memorial of a character and a career which ought to be better known, and which deserve to be permanently remembered. The circumstances, indeed, of the authors life which concern other than private friends are few and simple. But they are connected with some of the chief movements of thought durirg the last half-century they add a peculiar value to all he wrote, and a knowledge of them xiill enhance the interest of this volume. He had also a very large number of friends and pupils-among whom the present writer had the privilege of being numbered- who will be grateful for a brief record of his life and work. John Sherren Brerver was born in the year 1810, and was descended from an old Kentish family. His father, had the same Christian names, was born in the communion of the Church of England, but joined that of the Baptists. He was a learned Biblical scholar, and devoted himself during his spare hours to the study of Hebrew. He naturally held a high position among the Dissenters, and for many years conducted with great success a school at Norwich. Out of a very large family, only four sons arrived at mans estate, of whom the eldest is the subject of this memoir. Not withstanding his fathers dissenting predilections he was sent to Oxford, and after a short time joined the Church of England. But the years he had passed in a dissenting communion were probably the origin of one branch of his extensive reading. He possessed a most intimate and most rare knowledge of the writings of the Puritans and this circzrnstance adds a special value to the viervs he subsequently held respecting the history of the Stuart timesThere were only two other members of the same First Class in Easter term, 1832, one the present Lord Blachford, then AIlr. Fredcrick Rogers, the other Sir Francis Doyle. Traditions are still current at Oxford of the unusual range of reading in which Mr. Brewer offered to IJC examined. He became a singular master of the lrlost characteris to scholarship of that univcrsity, and liis whole mind was imbued with its classical and philosopIiica1 influences. His subsequent career at Oxford was, however, but brief. He married very early, and was thus precluded from obtaining a Fello-rvship, He resided, however, at the university for a while, giving in- struction as a private tutor and an edition of Aristotles Ethics which he prepared during this period, tliough long out of print, still maintains a place among the text-books on that subject, and is valued for some peculiar excellences.
