merit which has been claimed for Hartley’s speculations; and, if we err here, we err with great examples:

“The capital fault of Hartley is that of a rash generalization, which may prove imperfect, and which is at least premature. All attempts to explain or instruct by this principle have hitherto been unavailing. Many of the most important processes of reasoning have not hitherto been accounted for by it.”—Sir James Mackintosh: 2d Prelim. Dissert. to Encyc. Brit.

“The intentions of both [Bonnet and Hartley] are allowed, by those who best knew them, to have been eminently pure and worthy; but it cannot be said of either, that his metaphysical writings have contributed much to the instruction or to the improvement of the public. On the contrary, they have been instrumental in spreading a set of speculative tenets very nearly allied to that sentimental and fantastical modification of Spinozism which for many years past has prevailed so much and produced such mischievous effects in some parts of Germany.”—Dugald Stewart: 1st Prelim. Dissert. to Encyc. Brit.

Bishop Watson reprinted in his Collection of Tracts one on the Truth of the Christian Religion, prefaced by the remark:

“This tract is printed from the second volume of Dr. Hartley’s Observations on Man; it is written with singular closeness of thought, and to be well understood must be read with great attention.”—Bishop Watson.

Consult authorities cited above; and see also Life by his son, prefixed to his Observations on Man, ed. 1791, 4to; Reid’s Essays on the Intellectual Powers; Blakey’s Hist. of Mod. Philos.; Dr. E. Williams’s Christian Preacher, ed. 1843, p. 337; Watson’s Hist. of Halifax; Cunningham’s Biog. Hist. of England; Chalmers’s Biog. Dict.

Hartley, David, M.P., d. at Bath, in 1813, aged 84, a son of the preceding, was one of the plenipotentiaries appointed to treat with Dr. Franklin, the American ambassador at Paris. Some of his letters will be found in Franklin's Correspondence. Hartley possessed some scientific knowledge, and was the author of several inventions. He pub. some political tracts, Letters on the American War, (to which he was opposed,) &c., 1776-94.

Milton addressed to him his Tractate on Education', about 164G; Sir Win-cfetty inscribed to him Two Letters on the same subject, 1647, <ic. and there are other such evidences of the high respect in which he was held at home and abroad. lie was the author of some theological and educational treatises, and several works on husbandry were pub. in his name.

Trans, of Fauchet's Discourse on the Liberty of France, Lon., 1789, Svo. Harvey, D. W. Public Amusements, 1805. Harvey, Gabriel, LL.D., 1545 ?-1630 ? an excellent English and Latin poet, equally well known as the friend of Spenser and as the enemy of Nash, was educated at Christ's College and at Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, and in 1685 became Doctor of Laws. The following are his principal English publications: 1. Three proper and withe Familiar Letters: lately passed betweene two Vniuersitie Men, Lon., 1580, 4to. Bibl. Anglo-Poet., 344, £30. The University men were himself and Edmund Spenser. 2. Fovre Letters and certaine Sonnets, 1592, 4to. Bibl. Anglo-Poet, £25. Reprinted in the Archaica. This contains many literary notices of his contemporaries, and is therefore of great value to the antiquary. 3. Pierces Supererogation ; or, a new Prayse of the Old Asse, 1593, 4to. 4. A New Letter of Notable Contents, 1593, 4to. The two last, bound in one vol., produced, at the Bindley's sale, £17 17*. The same voL is now (1856)
