) are well known. She also wrote numerous essays and poems. [533] Samuel Pike (c. 1717-1773) was an independent minister, with a chapel in London and a theological school in his house. He later became a disciple of Robert Sandeman and left the Independents for the Sandemanian church (1765). The _Philosophia Sacra_ was first published at London in 1753. De Morgan here cites the second edition. [534] Pike had been dead over forty years when Kittle published this second edition. Kittle had already published a couple of works: _King Solomon's portraiture of Old Age_ (Edinburgh, 1813), and _Critical and Practical Lectures on the Apocalyptical Epistles to the Seven Churches of Asia Minor_ (London, 1814). [535] See note 334, on page 152. [536] William Stukely (1687-1765) was a fellow of the Royal Society and of the College of Physicians and Surgeons. He afterwards (1729) entered the Church. He was prominent as an antiquary, especially in the study of the Roman and Druidic remains of Great Britain. He was the author of numerous works, chiefly on paleography. [537] William Jones (1726-1800), who should not be confused with his namesake who is mentioned in note 281 on page 135. He was a lifelong friend of Bishop Horne, and his vicarage at Nayland was a meeting place of an influential group of High Churchmen. Besides the _Physiological Disquisitions_ (1781) he wrote _The Catholic Doctrine of the Trinity_ (1756) and _The Grand Analogy_ (1793). [538] Robert Spearman (1703-1761) was a pupil of John Hutchinson, and not only edited his works but wrote his life. He wrote a work against the Newtonian physics, entitled _An Enquiry after Philosophy and Theology_ (Edinburgh, 1755), besides the _Letters to a Friend concerning the Septuagint Translation_ (Edinburgh, 1759) to which De Morgan refers. [539] A writer of no importance, at least in the minds of British biographers. [540] Alexander Catcott (1725-1779), a theologian and geologist, wrote not only a work on the creation (1756) but a _Treatise on the Deluge_ (1761, with a second edition in 1768). Sir Charles Lyell considered the latter work a valuable contribution to geology. [541] James Robertson (1714-1795), professor of Hebrew at the University of Edinburgh. Probably De Morgan refers to his _Grammatica Linguae Hebraeae_ (Edinburgh, 1758; with a second edition in 1783). He also wrote _Clavis Pentateuchi_ (1770).
