ation, he published, in 1720, "An Essay on the 

 "Education of Youth in Grammar-Schools;" and 

 in 1731, his well-known "Essay on Study," 

 A list of his translations from the Classics, and 

 of his other works connected with the education 

 of youth,is given inWatts's "BibliothecaBritan- 

 " nica," and also in the obituary to the Gentle- 

 man's Magazine for May, 1734,* on the 8th 

 day of which month he died. In that obituary 

 Mr. Clark is described as " late Master of the 

 " Grammar-School at Hull f y but Tickell relates, 

 in his History of the town, that he died at Glou- 

 cester, to which place he had removed on being 

 chosen Master of the Grammar-Sehool there. f 

 A second edition of his Essay on Study was 

 published after his death, and the omission therein 

 of various remarks, contained in the former edition, 

 on the interpolations and errors in Clarendon's 

 History of the Rebellion, is made the subject of 

 some curious observations in a letter, which ap- 

 peared in the Gentleman's Magazine for Janu- 

 ary, 1772, under the signature of "Misedolus ;" 

 wherein our author is described as having been 

 " many years Master of the public Grammar- 

 " School in Hull, and of no small note in the 

 " classical world."!
