TAYLOR, THOMAS (1758-1835)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 473 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TAYLOR, THOMAS (1758-1835) , English writer, generally called " the Platonist," was born in London on the 15th of May 1758, and lived there till his death on the 1st of November 1835. He was sent to St Paul's school, but was soon removed to
Sheerness
 , where he spent several years with a relative who was engaged in the dockyard. He then began to study for the dissenting ministry, but an imprudent
marriage
  and pecuniary difficulties compelled him to abandon the
idea
 . He became a schoolmaster, a clerk in Lubbock's banking-
house
 , and from 1998-1806 was assistant secretary to the society for the encouragement of arts, manufactures and commerce, which post he resigned to devote himself to the study of philosophy. He had the good fortune to obtain the patronage of the duke of Norfolk and of a Mr
Meredith
 , a retired tradesman of literary tastes, who assisted him to publish several of his works. These mainly consisted of translations of the whole or part of the writings of
Aristotle
 , Plato, Plotinus,
Proclus
 , Pausanias,
Porphyry
 , Ocellus Lucanus, and the Orphic hymns. His efforts were unfavourablyalmost contemptuouslyreceived, but, in spite of defects of scholarship and lack of
critical
  faculty, due recognition must be awarded to the indomitable industry with which he overcame early difficulties. He figures as the " modern Pletho " in Isaac Disraeli's Curiosities of Literature and in his novel Vaurien, and as " England's gentile priest " in Mathias's Pursuits of Literature.
