This item is printed on demand. Paperback. 252 pages. Dimensions: 9.0in. x 6.0in. x 0.5in.Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Sir R. Blackmore: Containing Creation, a Philosophical Poem in Seven Books, to Which Is Prefixed the Life of the AuthorSir Richard Blackmore, though eminent both as a poet and physician, is one of those great men, of whose life and manner, few memorials have been left by his contemporaries, and who has been more censured by his enemies, than praised by his friends. He was descended from a respectable family in Wiltshire, and having received the rudiments of his education at a country school, was sent to Westminster at the age of thirteen, and from thence, in 1668, removed to Edmund Hall, Oxford, where he took the degree of Master of Arts on the 31 of June, 1676. Though he resided at College thirteen years, a much longer time than is usually spent at the University, Doctor Johnson is of opinion that he did not devote his time and attention to those pursuits which generally occupy the minds of students; because, in his poems, there are many errors respecting the names of nations and places, which he seems to have introduced without having taken the pains to ascertain their propriety. In the early part of his life he was reduced to the necessity of engaging in the profession of a school-master, an humiliation with which his enemies failed not to reproach him, when he acauired a degree of same sufficient to excite their malevolence. In a satirical piece, written against him, are these lines: By nature formd, by want a pedant made, Blackmore at first set up the whipping trade;Next quack commencd, then fierce with pride, he swore, That toothach, gout, and corns, should be no more. In vain his drugs, as well as birch he tried;His boys grew blockheads, and his patients died. Dr. Garth alludes to his being a school-master in the following lines: Unwiedly pedant, let thy awkward museWith conscious praise, with flattenes abuse;To lash, and not be felt, in thees all art;Thou neer madst any but thy school-boys smart. Dr. Johnson, with respect to these sarcasms, very candidly observes, that it should be remembered, to the honour of our author, that to have been once a school-master, is then only reproach which all the perspecacity of malice, animated by wit, has ever fixed upon his private life. It is probable that indigence did not long compel him to follow the profession or a school-master; and it is presumed that some circumstances concurring in his favour, he travelled into Italy, and took the degree of Doctor of Physic at the University of Padua. He also visited France, Germany, and the Low Countries, and having travelled about a year and a half on the Continent, he returned to England.

But when he defcribes his gods, and gives them a human face and limbs, and fays they are neither incorporeal nor corporeal, but as it were corporeal; while he excludes them from any hand in making, or care in guiding and governing the world, and undertakes to (how that all things were brought about by mere chance, without any help or direction of the gods, who are altogether unconcerned with human affairs, and regardlefs of our aelions; he mutt laugh in himfclf, and be fap pofed to have formed this ridiculous idea of a Di vine Being, merely to efcape the charatfiter of an impious philofopher.
