HE present age affords but little 
countenance to polemical contests. 
The disputes of rival sects have long 
since ceased, either to agitate, or to in- 
terest; and even the odium theologicum, 
appears to have abated, su as to enable 
us to draw the rational and flattering 
inference, that men will soon cease to 
persecute and to punish for the sake of 
opinions. Qur history indeed tells us, 
that if was otherwise, and we have to 
mourn over the crimes produced by a 
spirit of intolerance; but whatever may 
be the demerits of the times in which 
we live, they cannot be considered as 
deficient on the score of religious lioera~ 
lity. ‘This beneficent sentiment was 
chiefly produced by the writings of a 
number of illustrious laymen, anterior 
to the fatal epoch of the French revolu- 
tion; and although the subject of the 
present memoir, who is perhaps one of 
the last of the old school, in an address 
to the clergy, whence we have extracted 
a passage by way of motto, seems very 
tender respecting the cause of supersti- 
tion, yet there is but little danger of a 
relapse into that bitter, abominable and 
horrid zeal, which lighted up the fives 
of Smithfield for the punishment of such 
as differed from the reiguiny creed of the 
day. 
Dr. Markham, who was descended 
from an English family, is said to have 
been a native of Ireland. The precise 
epoch of his birth is not exactly ascer- 
tained, but he is supposed to have been 
born in 1719 or 1720; and it is certain 
that he came over to this country ata 
very early period of life, as he was eti- 
tered at Westminster school whilst a 
little boy. 
After distinguishing himself at this se- 
minary by his Latin verses, young Mark- 
ham repaired to Oxford, and became a 
member of Christ-church, over which he 
himself was tated afterwards to preside, 
Here again his taste for Latin poetry ob= 
tained for him countenance and protec 
tion, and we find him, at twenty-five 
years of age, (March 28, 1745,) obtain- 
ing the degree of M.A. 
About five years after this period, he - 
became head master of Westminster 
school ; and although he did-not enjoy 
that otfice like his celebrated precursor, 
Dr. Busby, for halfa century, yet, during 
a long and busy period,* he discharged
