ld be utter ruin to his prospects. Mr. Joseph Hallet was the author of various pieces connected with the leading controversy of the day, so prolific in the productions of the busy pens of many active polemics; but he is best known by a valuable work entitled, A free and impartial Study of the Scriptures recommended; being notes on some peculiar texts, with discourses and observations on various subjects. The first volume of this work was published in 1729, and was followed by two others in 1732 and 1734. He also distinguished himself in the controversy which was actively maintained at that period by several eminent advocates of revelation, particularly among the Dissenters, with Morgan, Collins, Tindal, and other deistical writers. He has been already mentioned as having continued and completed the imperfect work of Mr. Peirce on the Epistle to the Hebrews. To this work he has prefixed an elaborate dissertation on the disputed questions as to the authorship of this Epistle, and t

The last attempt of this kind occurred in 1732, in the case of Dr. Doddridge, which was happily checked by the prompt and effectual personal interference of George II. It were greatly to be wished, that the promoters of academical education among the Dissenters had been at all times solicitous to guard against the influence of that narrow-minded, exclusive spirit which first created the necessity for their exertions. But unhappily, in the great majority of cases, the same sectarian views have prevailed in them, on a smaller scale, wh

ed passion for literature and a delicate state of health seem to have led to an early change in his destination. He was sent to a school at St. Albans, kept by an ingenious man who had been on the stage, and was fond of exercising his pupils in theatrical declamation; which circumstance may probably have tended to strengthen an early taste for poetry, and also to cultivate that force and clearness of enunciation for which the subject of this memoir was afterwards eminently distinguished. In 1732 he was removed to Dr. Doddridge's academy at Northampton, but probably not, in the first instance, with a view to the Christian ministry, as there is reason to believe that he was at one time intended for the legal profession. At all events, his attention was for some time closely directed to studies of this kind; as he possessed a deep and extensive knowledge of the constitution and laws of England, as well as of the general principles of jurisprudence, which he was afterwards accustomed t
