Henry Blount (1602-1682), was the author of a Voyage to the See also:Levant, describing his own travels. He gave his son a careful See also:education, and is said to have helped him in his Anima Mundi; or An See also:Historical Narration of the Opinions of the Antients concerning See also:Man's Soul after his See also:Life, according to unenlightened Nature (1679), which gave See also:great offence by the sceptical views expressed in it. It was suppressed by See also:- ORDER

order of the See also:bishop of See also:London, and even burnt by some over-zealous See also:official, but a re-issue was permitted. Blount was an admirer of See also:Hobbes, and published his " Last Sayings " (1679), a pamphlet consisting of extracts from The See also:Leviathan. Great is See also:Diana of the See also:Ephesians, or the See also:Original of See also:Idolatry, together with the See also:Political Institution of the Gentiles' Sacrifices (168o) attracted severe See also:criticism on the ground that in deprecating the evils of priestcraft Blount was attacking See also:Christianity itself. His best-known See also:book, The Two First Books of See also:Philostratus concerning the Life of See also:Apollonius Tyaneus . . . (168o), is said to have been prohibited in 1693, chiefly on See also:account of the notes, which are stated by See also:Bayle (See also:note, s.v. Apollonius) to have been taken mainly from a MS. of See also:Lord See also:Herbert of Cherbury. Blount contributed materially to the removal of the restrictions on the freedom of the See also:press, with two See also:pamphlets (1693) by " See also:Philopatris," mainly derived from See also:Milton's Areopagitica. He also laid a successful See also:trap for the See also:censor, See also:Edmund See also:Bohun.
Under the name of " See also:Junius See also:Brutus " he wrote a pamphlet entitled " See also:- KING

William and See also:Queen See also:Mary Conquerors." The See also:title-See also:page set forth the theory of the See also:justice of title by See also:conquest, which Blount knew to be agreeable to Bohun. It was duly licensed, but was ordered by the See also:House of See also:Commons to be burnt by the See also:common hangman, as being diametrically opposed to the attitude of William's See also:government on the subject. These proceedings showed the futility of the censorship, and hastened its overthrow.
Blount had fallen in love with his deceased wife's See also:sister, and, in despair of overcoming her scruples as to the legality of such a See also:marriage, shot himself in the See also:head. He survived for some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time, refusing help except from his sister-in-See also:law. See also:Alexander See also:Pope asserted (See also:Epilogue to the Satires, Note, i. 124) that he wounded himself in the See also:arm, pretending to kill himself, and that the result was fatal contrary to his expectations. He died in See also:August 1693.
Shortly before his See also:death a collection of his pamphlets and private papers was printed with a See also:preface by Charles Gildon, under the title of the Oracles of See also:Reason. His See also:Miscellaneous See also:Works (1695) is a See also:fuller edition by the same editor.
