of his education at Manchefter ichool, under

Mr. Abbot. He took his degree of batchelor, 
i 4766, and that of mafter in'1768. He was 
uftly celebrated for his various knowledge, and 
part tieularly for his familiar acapelniang with 
the tythe laws 3 to which, if he had uniformly 
dire€ted his refearches, he might have paffed 
through life with credit, or at leaft without 
‘Niterary cenfure. Paheppily, however, for his 
reputation, he undertook a tafk, for which he 
was by no means qualificd, yiz. to vindicate 
the much difputed pafiage in John y. 7, and 
met with able antag nits, who expofed his 
want of critical acumen in every part of the - 
controverfy. Dr. Travis had not been fami- 
liarly accuftomed either to Greek manufczipss, 
or to works of facred criticifm. He was, con- 
el on entering into this province of 
heological polemics, a Tirb, compared with 
his antagonifts. Griefbach, Porfon, Marth, 
and Soares convigted him, at ev ery turn, 
of palpable mifinformation, if not mifrepiefe: ta- 
tion. He was, however, of a temper not to be 
daunted ; affertion was heaped uponafferiion, and 
the frongex the proof appeared of his imperitia, 
the ftronger was his pertinacity. His labours, 
however, have proved not a little ufeful to the 
world, having excited a clofer attention of
