TAYLOR, See also:JOHN (1704-1766) , See also:English classical See also:scholar, was See also:born at See also:Shrewsbury on the 22nd of See also:June 1704. His See also:father was a See also:barber, and, by the generosity of one of his customers, the son, having received his See also:early See also:education at the See also:grammar school of his native See also:town, was sent to St John's See also:College, See also:Cam-See also:bridge. 111.1732 he was appointed librarian, in 1734 registrar of the university. Somewhat See also:late in See also:life he took orders, became See also:rector of Lawford in See also:Essex in 1751, and See also:canon of St See also:Paul's in 1757• He died in See also:London on the 4th of See also:April 176,6. Taylor is best known for his See also:editions of some of the See also:Greek orators, chiefly valuable for the notes on See also:Attic See also:law, e.g. See also:Lysias (1739); See also:Demosthenes Contra Leptinem (1741) and Contra Midiam (1743, with See also:Lycurgus Contra Leocratem), intended as specimens of a proposed edition, in five volumes, of the orations of Demosthenes, See also:Aeschines, See also:Dinarchus and See also:Demades, of which only vols. ii. and iii. were published. Taylor also published (under the See also:title of Marmor Sandvicense) a commentary on the inscription on an See also:ancient See also:marble brought from See also:Greece by See also:Lord See also:Sandwich, containing particulars of the receipts and See also:expenditure of the Athenian magistrates appointed to celebrate the festival of See also:Apollo at See also:Delos in 374 B.C. His Elements of See also:Civil Lau (1755) also deserves See also:notice. It was severely attacked by See also:Warburton in his Divine See also:Legation, professedly owing to a difference of See also:opinion in regard to the persecution of the early Christians, in reality because Taylor had spoken disparagingly of his scholarship.
