William III., he became a member of the See also:council of Virginia, of which he was for many years the See also:president. Largely because of charges brought against them by Blair, See also:Governor See also:Sir See also:Edmund See also:Andros, See also:Lieutenant-governor See also:Francis See also:Nicholson, and Lieutenant-governor See also:Alexander See also:Spotswood were removed in 1698, 1705 and 1722 respectively. Blair's greatest service to the colony was rendered as the founder, and the president from 1693 until his death, of the See also:College of William and See also:Mary, for which he himself secured a See also:charter in England. " Thus, James Blair may be called," says Tyler, " the creator of the healthiest and most extensive intellectual influence that was See also:felt in the See also:Southern See also:group of colonies before the Revolution." He died on the 18th of See also:April 1743, and was buried at Jamestown, Va. He published a collection of 117 discourses under the See also:title Our Saviour's Divine See also:Sermon on the See also:Mount (4 vols., 1722; second edition, 1732), and, in collaboration with Henry Hartwell and See also:Edward Chilton, a See also:work entitled The See also:Present See also:State of Virginia and the College (1727; written in 1693), probably the best See also:account of the Virginia of that time.
