the Rev. W. Turner , Jun. , MA., Lives of the eminent Unitarians, Nathniel Lardner (search)
seeks to rouse the attention and interest the feelings of a popular audience. When we further consider the preacher's physical infirmity of extreme deafness, rendering it next to impossible that he should possess that power of modulating his voice which is almost essential to a public speaker, it is not perhaps to be much wondered at that his hearers were not numerous. Dr. Lardner himself, as he advanced in years, became more and more sensible of this; and he was in consequence induced, in 1751, to resign his office of morning preacher at Crutched Friars. In 1753, Dr. Lardner printed, but without his name, An Essay on the Creation and Fall of Man. After referring to tile various modes which have been proposed of interpreting this difficult narrative, he proceeds to comment upon it as a true history to be understood in its literal sense, but apparently without pledging himself to any positive conclusion. On the argument for the Trinity, derived from the expression Let us make m

ntly devoted one evening in the week to their instruction. We have before noticed his Scripture Catechism, out of which he regularly examined his young auditors, and impressed upon their minds the importance of attention to the sacred duties of religion. See in various points of his history a Sketch of the Life of the late Dr. J. Taylor, of Norwich, from the Universal Theological Magazine for July 1804, afterwards enlarged and printed in a distinct form by Messrs. R. and A. Taylor. In 1751 appeared a very learned and valuable treatise, entitled, The Scripture Doctrine of Atonement examined, first in relation to the Jewish Sacrifices, and then to the Sacrifice of our blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. In this work the author first inquires into the original meaning, design, and efficacy of sacrifices, which he shews to be, in all respects, the same as that of prayer and praise, or any other suitable expression of our religious regards which are pleasing to God, as they proc

the succeeding age as decided Arians, we seem authorized to infer that he had himself a leaning towards the same principles. Little is known (at least we have not been able to meet with any record) of his early history. In 1719 he quitted Whitehaven to settle at Bolton in Lancashire, where he remained till his death, in 1733. It is not known that any production of his found its way before the public. His son, Mr. Thomas Dixon, was educated under the care of Dr. Rotheram, at Kendal, and in 1751 settled at Bolton, on the decease of his father's successor, Mr. Buck. Here he died in 1754, at the early age of thirty-three; non annis, sed laude plenus, according to the inscription on his monument in Bolton Chapel. Some years after his death an excellent piece of Scripture criticism was published from his papers, entitled The Sovereignty of the Divine Administrations vindicated; or a rational Account (without the intervention of the Devil or of Demons) of our blessed Saviour's Temptatio

he number of witnesses may increase in the same, or even in a greater proportion than the credibility of each individual witness diminishes. Still less can it be admitted in the case of written testimony; where, if the original document no longer exists, copies taken from it may have been multiplied indefinitely, and versions made of it into a great variety of languagesn; so that the evidence shall even increase instead of diminishing with the lapse of time. In the latter end of the year 1751, Dr. Rotheram's health, which had received a severe shock from some very heavy family afflictions, began rapidly to decline. In the following spring, as soon as the season would permit, he undertook a journey to Hexham, in Northumberland, where his eldest son was then settled as a physician; and his friends were not without all hope that he might be restored to his former strength and usefulness. But his disorder returning, he died there on the 8th of June, 1752. He was interred in the Abb
