INTRODUCTION
HISTORY
SOON after I had been elected to a Fellowship at Trinity College
my friend Dr Luard introduced me to the fascinating subject of
Dr Bentley ; and I began without delay to collect the tracts (as they
are usually called) relating to his controversy with his College. In
those days it was far easier to buy such things at a small price than it
is now ; and my collection soon became respectable. As time went
on I enlarged the field of my research, and determined to become the
possessor of all Bentley's editions and of his various other works, such
as his Sermons, Proposals for a new edition of the Greek Testament,
etc., which he issued from time to time. As long as Luard lived,
I used to discuss my collection with him, and urge him to prepare a
bibliography of Bentleiana, which, strange to say, has never been
given in full by any of Bentley's biographers. It has always appeared
to me specially strange that Bishop Monk should not have added this
to his other acts of pious care for Bentley's reputation : for he
unquestionably had access to several pieces which it is now difficult,
if not impossible, to trace. For such a work Luard was admirably
qualified. He had the requisite technical knowledge of books ; he
was well versed in the history of classical scholarship during the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries ; and, for the events of Bentley's
Mastership, he knew as much about them and the Fellows of the
viii INTRODUCTION
College of that day, as if he had himself been one of the Society.
But I could never persuade him to begin. Had he once begun he
would assuredly have also finished, for he had extraordinary per-
severance, and I do not think that he ever left a task half done.
When Luard died in 1891 I found that he had bequeathed to me
not only his University pamphlets, but also his Bentleiana. By this
generous gift I became the fortunate possessor of some of the rarest
in the series of Bentley tracts.
I now felt that a special obligation was laid upon me to draw up
the bibliography which I had once hoped that my friend would write,
or at least supervise. But how was I to proceed ? I had new and
pressing occupations to attend to, and besides, Bibliography had
become a science, and the novice who attempts to register books
without careful preliminary training, lays himself open to certain
condemnation. So I searched for a collaborator, or rather, for some
one who would undertake the really important part of the work, the
bibliography, leaving to me the introduction and the index. My
good fortune caused me to be introduced to Mr A. T. Bartholomew,
of Peterhouse. He was then, as now, an assistant in the University
Library, employed on the catalogue of Lord Acton's books ; and,
from information given to me by the Librarian and others capable of
forming an opinion, was just the man I wanted. Their recommenda-
tions have been fully justified by the result. We have worked
together for nearly three years, and I have every reason to be more
than satisfied with the skill, the diligence, and the historical acumen,
with which he has executed his task. As the whole of the bibliography
has been written by him, it is easy to see that he is not a mere
cataloguer. He has obtained a thorough grasp of the subject, and
has added notes, where needed, illustrating many points hitherto left
obscure in Bentley's life.
INTRODUCTION ix
ARRANGEMENT
The arrangement of the long and varied series of publications with
which we have had to deal has given us much anxiety. Our first idea
was to arrange the publications, whether written by Bentley or by
others, in strict chronological order ; but we soon found that this
would lead to obscurity rather than to clearness, as Bentley was
frequently engaged at nearly the same time in studies of the most
diverse character. Our final arrangement is as follows :
I. Sermons and Charges "|
II. Discourse of Free-Thinking [- Theological
III. New Testament
IV. Phalaris Controversy ) ^,
Tr ~, . V Classical
V. Classics J
VI. Trinity College and the University
VII. Miscellanea
VIII. Collected Works and Correspondence
IX. Biography and Criticism.
As far as possible chronological order has been observed in each
group ; but later editions and translations of any work are described
immediately after the first edition, and works immediately bearing on
any other work are described in connection with it.
We are aware that Bentley's first published work is the Epistola ad
Millium published in 1691 (no. 137); but after this an interval of
six years occurs before his first Dissertation upon the Epistles of
Phalaris (no. 94) was published. We therefore begin with Sermons,
because his Boyle Lectures occur in regular sequence in 1692 and
1693. And although there is an interval of more than twenty years
before Phileleutherus Lipsiensis published his Remarks upon a late
Discourse of Free-Thinking (no. 49) it appeared reasonable to place these
x INTRODUCTION
two groups in juxta-position as they both deal with the confutation of
Atheism, and to join with them the group dealing with the proposed
edition of the New Testament.
The juxta-position of the Phalaris Controversy with Bentley's
editions and emendations of Greek and Latin authors is so obvious
as to need no explanation. It must, however, be distinctly understood
that no attempt has been made to notice all editions of Greek and
Latin authors published since Bentley's death with his notes or
emendations, when those notes or emendations were originally pub-
lished during his life. But in the second division of this section we
have done our best to include all editions containing notes or
emendations left by him in MS.
Further we have regarded MSS. and Adversaria as not within the
scope of the present work. A large body of Adversaria will be found
under Bentley in the Catalogue of Printed Books in the British
Museum. These include that portion of his library which his nephew
and executor gave to his grandson Richard Cumberland, by whom
they were sold to Lackington, the well-known bookseller, and by him
to the British Museum. A considerable body of Adversaria is also to
be found in Trinity College Library ; and Dr James's Catalogue of the
Western Manuscripts in Trinity Library may be consulted for a description
of some interesting MSS. of Bentley preserved there.
We wish our work to be regarded as an Appendix to the elaborate
biographies of Bishop Monk and Sir R. C. Jebb. For this reason we
do not attempt any notice of Bentley's life, with the exception of a
full chronology based on the Annals of Bentley s Life given by
Sir R. C. Jebb. In this we have tried to arrange the facts in such
a manner as to furnish to those who do not know Bentley a clue to
guide them through the labyrinth of his controversies.
We have done our best to make this bibliography complete.
Beginning with my own collection, we have searched the University
INTRODUCTION xi
Library and all the Collegiate Libraries in Cambridge, the Bodleian
Library, and that of the British Museum. Notwithstanding this care
on our own part, and the information we have gained from friends, we
cannot be sure that we have included all that appeared in controversies
separated from our own time by nearly two centuries. It is, therefore,
with considerable diffidence that we present our bibliography to the
public, and we shall be grateful for further information.
Our special thanks are due to the Master and Fellows of Trinity
College for their kindness in allowing us to reproduce the portrait of
Bentley, now in the dining-room of the Master's Lodge, painted by
Sir James Thornhill in 1710; to the Master and Fellows of Sidney
Sussex College for the loan of Bentley's Letter (p. 20), with leave to
reproduce it ; to Dr Sandys, Public Orator, for helpful criticism ;
to the Librarians of the different Colleges and to Dr Fortescue,
Keeper of "the Printed Books in the British Museum, who all gave
us every facility for studying the collections of Bentley tracts under
their care ; to C. E. Sayle, M.A. of S. John's College, for help in
drawing up the list of Portraits ; and to E. J. Worman, M.A. of
Christ's College, for careful revision of the proofs of the Bibliography.
An asterisk (*) has been added to each item in my own collection :
in other cases the place where a book may be found has been indicated
only when the book in question is of some rarity.
The following abbreviations have been used :
B.M. = British Museum.
Dyce = Works of Richard Bentley, D.D. collected and edited by the Rev.
Alexander Dyce. [Vols. I — 3. No more appeared.] London,
1836—8.
Jebb = Bentley by R. C. Jebb, M.A. London, 1882.
Monk = Life of Richard Bentley, D.D. by J. H. Monk, D.D. 2nd ed.
2 vols. London, 1833.
T.C.C. = Trinity College, Cambridge.
xii INTRODUCTION
>
U.L.C. = University Library, Cambridge.
Wordsworth = Correspondence of Richard Bentley. [Ed. by Christopher
Wordsworth.] 2 vols. London, 1842.
We have reprinted in an Appendix (i) A Proposal for building a
Royal Library (no. 250) ; (2) the Latin verses which Bentley
contributed to two of those collections which it was the fashion to
publish when any public event was important enough to notice
(nos. 251, 252); (3) his English stanzas in imitation of Horace
(no. 253).
The first of these is a piece of which only one copy is known —
and though the ascription of it to Bentley has been called in question
— it seems to us to be sufficiently interesting in itself to warrant
reproduction ; the verses which form the second group are entombed
in folios not readily accessible in libraries ; while the third, though
printed in several places, and notably by Monk, obviously demands
the same recognition as the others.
At the end of the Appendix will be found a list of all the known
portraits of Bentley. We have been at some pains to make this as
complete as possible, as the subject has received little or no attention
from Bentley 's biographers.

Note: By Jonathan Swift. The Dedication to Prince Posterity is

Digression concerning Critics' — satirises Bentley. He is further
ridiculed in * The Dedication to Prince Posterity,' and in Sections v

Note: The Defense is dated ' M ay 21. 1705.' Bentley's Dissertation

title-pages. Ed. I of Wotton's work appeared in 1694 (no. 90);
ed. 2 in 1697 (no. 94). The appearance of Bentley's enlarged
Dissertation upon the Epistles of Phalaris in 1699 (no. 109) made it
inopportune to reprint it in its original form of 1697: Wotton,
therefore, only reissued the Dissertation upon the Epistles of Themis-

This piece, which Monk attributes to Bentley himself (n. 75, 76),
was written by John Byrom of Manchester (1692 — 1763). He was
educated at Merchant Taylors' School and Trinity College, Cam-
bridge (B.A. 1711 ; Fellow, 1714; M.A. 1715), and became an
intimate friend of Bentley and of his family. He celebrated Bentley's
younger daughter, Joanna, in a Pastoral which appeared in the
Spectator, No. 603, October 6, 1714. (Reprinted in Byrom's Poems,
ed. A. W. Ward, Vol. I. p. I foil. Cp. Monk, n. 113—14.) His
authorship in the present instance is placed beyond doubt by a series
of letters addressed by him to a Mr Stansfield in London, to whom
the MS. of this tract had been transmitted for printing there. These
interesting letters are preserved in the Chetham Library at Manchester,
and will be printed in a supplementary volume of Dr Ward's edition
of Byrom's Poems, shortly to be published for the Chetham Society.

How come our Universities and Colleges to be in a worse Condition than any Abroad;
when there are not greater Privileges given to any, nor enjoy d for a longer Time,
than have been by Ours ? Shall the Noble Endowments of Our Colleges, which
are the Honour of Our Nation, the Nurseries of Our Church, the Envy of
Foreigners, and the Eye-sore of none but such as hate Learning and ingenuous
Education, make them become an easier Prey to such Unquiet Spirits as by Law
Suits and Unstatutable Appeals would Overthrow that Power which preserves
them in a State of Tranquillity, without which they can never Attain the End of
their Institution ? Bp. Stillingfleet.

APPENDIX
I
A Proposal for building
A Royal LIBRARY,
And establishing it by
art of ^parliament*
The Royal Library now at St. James 'j, designed and founded for
publick use, was in the time of King James I. in a flourishing
condition, well stored with all sorts of good Books of That and the
preceding Age, from the beginning of Printing.
But in the succeeding Reigns it has gradually gone to Decay, to
the great dishonour of the Crown and the whole Nation. The Room
is miserably out of Repair ; and so little, that it will not contain the
Books that belong to it. A Collection of ancient Medals, once the
best in Europe, is embezzled and quite lost. There has been no
supply of Books from abroad for the space of Sixty years last : nor
any allowance for Binding ; so that many valuable Manuscripts are
spoil'd for want of Covers : and above a Thousand Books printed in
England, and brought in Quires to the Library, as due by the Act for
Printing, are all unbound and useless.
It is therefore humbly proposed, as a thing that will highly
conduce to the Publick good, the Glory of His Majesty's Reign, and
the Honour of the Parliament ;
* Reprinted from a copy in the British Museum. See Bibliography, no. 250.
94 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF BENTLEY
I. That His Majesty be graciously pleased to assign a Corner of
St. James's Park, on the South side, near the Garden of the late Sir
John Cutler, for the building of a new Library, and in the Neighbour-
hood of it a competent Dwelling for the Library-Keeper.
II. This Situation will have all the advantages that can be wished.
'Tis an elevated Soil, and a dry sandy Ground ; the Air clear, and the
Light free ; the Building, not contiguous to any Houses, will be safer
from Fire ; a Coach-way will be made to it out of Turtle-street,
Westminster ; the Front of it will be paralell to the Park- Walk ; and
the Park will receive no Injury, but a great Ornament by it.
III. That the said Library be built, and a perpetual yearly
Revenue for the Purchase of Books setled on it by Act of Parlia-
ment : Which Revenue may be under the Direction and Disposal of
Curators, who are from time to time to make report to His Majesty
of the State and Condition of the Library. The Curators to be
IV. The choice of a proper Fund, whence the said Revenue may
be raised, is left to the Wisdom of the Parliament. In the mean time,
This following is humbly offer 'd to Consideration.
V. That, as soon as the present Tax of 40 per Cent., upon
Foreign Paper, and 20 per Cent upon English, shall either expire or
be taken off; there be laid a very small Tax of ... per Cent, (as it
shall be judged sufficient for the uses of such a Library) upon
Imported Paper only, leaving our own Manufacture free. Which
Tax may be collected by His Majesty's Officers of the Customs, and
paid to such Person or Persons, as shall be appointed by the Curators.
VI. This being so easie a Tax, and a Burthen scarce to be felt,
can create no Damp upon the Stationer's Trade. And whatsoever
shall be paid by them upon this foot, being to be laid out in the
APPENDIX
95
Purchase of Books, will return among them again. So that 'tis but
giving with one hand, what they will receive with the other.
VII. And whereas our Own White-Paper Manufacture, that was
growing up so hopefully, and deserves the greatest Encouragement,
being all clear gains to the Kingdom, is now almost quite sunk under
the weight of the present tax ; this new one upon Imported Paper,
with an Exemption of our Own, will set Ours upon the higher
Ground, and give it a new Life. For whatsoever is taken from the
one, is as good as given to the other. So that even without regard to
this design of a Library, the Tax will be a publick Benefit.
VIII. A Library erected upon this certain and perpetual Fund,
may be so contriv'd for Capaciousness and Convenience, that every
one that comes there, may have 200,000 Volumes, ready for his use
and service. And Societies may be formed, that shall meet, and have
Conferences there about matters of Learning. The Royal Society is a
noble Instance in one Branch of Knowledge ; what Advantage and
Glory may accrue to the Nation, by such Assemblies not confined to
one Subject, but free to all parts of good Learning.
IX. The Wall that shall encompass the Library, may be cased on
the inside with Marbles of ancient Inscriptions, Basso Relievo's, &c.
either found in our own Kingdom, or easily and cheaply to be had
from the African Coast, and Greece, and Asia the Less. Those few
Antiquities procured from the Greek Islands by the Lord Arundel, and
since published both at home and abroad, are an evidence what great
advancement of Learning, and honour to the Nation may be acquired
by this means.
X. Upon this Parliamentary Fund, the Curators, if occasion be,
may take up Money at Interest, so as to lay out two or three years
Revenues to buy whole Libraries at once : As at this very time, the
incomparable Collections of Thuanus in France, and Marquardus Gudius
in Germany, might be purchas'd at a very low Value.
96 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF BENTLEY
XL And since the Writings of the English nation have at present
that great Reputation abroad, that many Persons of all Countries
learn our Language, and several travel hither for the advantage of
Conversation : 'Tis easie to foresee, how much this Glory will be
advanced, by erecting a free Library of all sorts of Books, where every
Foreigner will have such convenience of studying.
XII. 'Tis our Publick Interest and Profit, to have the Gentry of
Foreign Nations acquainted with England^ and have part of their
Education here. And more Money will be annually imported and
spent here by such Students from abroad, than the Whole Charge and
Revenue of the Library will amount to.
[Verses on the death of Prince William, 1700*.]
OUID querar ? An proprio sub pondere Magna fatiscunt,
Et Natura labat dotibus ipsa suis ?
Sic moriens, GULIELME, & sceptra & vota tuorum
Destituens, brevis heu Spes, diuturnus Amor.
An potius, terras Deus indignatus inertes,
Illustres Animas ad supera alta vocat ?
Nee moreris, GULIELME, volas sed vivus ad astra,

Et positis novus exuviis, roseo ore refulges
Inter caelicolas conspiciendus Avos.

Gratia si veteris tibi pectore vivit amici :
Unam fer multus officiosus opem.
Sume, precor, citharum nimium nimiumque tacentem ;
Verbaque cum plectro fortia junge gravi :
Effer, age, Heroem, stellantique insere Olympo :
Dircaeusque iterum nubila tranet olor.
Nos etenim viles, corvi picaeque, poetae
Vix pennas madida (turpe) levamus humo.

HO strives to mount Parnassus* hill,
And thence poetic laurels bring,
Must first acquire due force, and skill,
Must fly with swan's, or eagle's wing.

APPENDIX
Who nature's treasures would explore,
Her mysteries and arcana know,
Must high as lofty Newton soar,
Must stoop as delving Woodward low.
Who studies ancient laws and rites,
Tongues, arts, and arms, and history,
Must drudge like Selden days and nights,
And in the endless labour die.
Who travels in religious jars
(Truth mixt with error, shade with rays,)
Like Whiston wanting pyx or stars,
In ocean wide or sinks or strays.
But grant our hero's hope long toil
And comprehensive genius crown,
All sciences, all arts his spoil,
Yet what reward, or what renown ?
Envy, innate in vulgar souls,
Envy steps in and stops his rise ;
Envy, with poison'd tarnish fouls
His lustre, and his worth decries.
He lives inglorious, or in want,
To college and old books confin'd ;
Instead of learn'd he's call'd pedant,
Dunces advanced he's left behind :
Yet left content, a genuine stoic he,
Great without patron, rich without South-sea.
