THE

HISTORY

OF

KNOWLEDGE, LEARNING, AND TASTE,

IN GREAT BRITAIN,

During the Commonwealth and the Ufurpation of CROMWELL.

T has frequently been remarked, that, in periods of public commotion and of civil anarchy, the nobleft energies of the human mind are often called forth to action; and if we have to witnefs much calamity, vice, and horror, the profpect is fomewhat cheered by examples of virtue uncontaminated by intereft, and of genius unfettered by timidity. Yet the fhort space of time which elapfed from the depofition of the firft Charles to the acceffion of his fon, prefents us with not many names of eminence in literature, which were unnoticed in the preceding period. There was certainly a large mafs of learning depofited at this time in various hands; but that learning was obfcured by pedantry; and the fcience, as well as the morals of the age, was perverted by fanati cifm. It was an age of projects, but thofe projects partook of all the wildness of anarchy; and history and politics were debafed, as they too commonly are, by a devo tion to party.
