Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of the diary and correspondence of Dr. John Worthington, a pious and learned clergyman and university dignitary, offering a rare glimpse into the life of a seventeenth-century academic. Living through one of the most exciting periods of our history, he hardly ever mentions any public event, and though a sincere Royalist, inclined in early life to Presbyterianism, he has only one mention of the king's misfortunes. On January 30, 1648-9, the entry in his diary is, "King Charles was beheaded". Two pages are occupied with the election of the College cook. The real interest of this concluding volume consists in the correspondence with Dr. Henry More, and Dr. N. Ingelo. Dr. More was one of the most popular writers of his day, and his writings were held in esteem beyond the limits of his own country. Dr. Worthington shared the moderate Arminianism of his friend, but while himself inclined to mysticism, his more commonplace nature restrained him from falling a victim to Trismegistus and the Cabbalistic writers. But though it is no light meed of praise to Dr. Worthington, that to his judgment More submitted several of his writings for revision and correction, yet we cannot but regret that when Baker prepared and arranged the latter part of their correspondence, he did not give the larger share to Henry More, and the smaller to Worthington. Bentivolio and Urania is perhaps even less known, and is certainly less read at the present day than the Divine Dialogues. It is difficult to suppose that it could ever have been popular, for its portentous dulness and heaviness is such, that we feel inclined to say of it and of its author, Both in his verse, and in his prose, The essence of his dulness was Concentrated and compressed so close, Twould have made Guatimozin doze On his red gridiron of brass. But it was certainly read, and was thought a work of merit and interest in its day, and no student of the literary history of the Restoration period can afford to neglect the romance and allegory of Dr. Nathaniel Ingelo.
