[Attributed, and apparently on sufficient grounds, to Dr. Thomas 

 Scott, a dissenting mmister of Ipswich, the author, among other 

 works, of a translation of the Book of Job into English verse with 

 notes, a highly eulogistic notice of which appears in the " Gentle- 

 man's Magazine," vol. 41, pp. 366-69. He died at Hapton, Norfolk, 

 to which place he removed from Ipswich in 1775. This work was 

 reprinted in Ruddiman's " Collection of scarce, curious, and valu- 

 able pieces, both in prose and verse," Edinburgh, 1773 & 1785, and 

 a large portion of it was appropriated without acknowledgment by 

 Lathy, in his poem, " The angler." The original edition has 

 become rare. In a preface entitled " The bookseller to the reader," 

 occurs the following humorous justification of angling : — "To 

 a man of any compass of thought and experience in the world 

 it is well-known that angling is not a mere recreation, but a 

 business — a business which employeth most orders, professions 

 and occupations among men. This might be fairly proved by an 

 induction of particulars. For instance we booksellers angle for 

 authors, and authors angle for a dinner, or for fame. Again, doth 

 not the lawyer angle for clients, the doctor for a fee, the divine for 

 preferment, the statesman for secrets, the courtier for a pension, and 

 the needy for a place ? Further what is he who offereth a bribe, 

 but a fisher for another man's conscience ? And what is he who 

 taketh a bribe, but the silly fish that is caught with the bait ? 

 What is here said may suffice to show the universality of our 

 author's subject." 



This, however, is very much in the strain of the " Royal recre- 

 ation of jovial anglers," which see.]
