THOMAS (1758-1835) , See also:English writer, generally called " the Platonist," was See also:born in See also:London on the 15th of May 1758, and lived there till his See also:death on the 1st of See also:November 1835. He was sent to St See also:Paul's school, but was soon removed to See also:Sheerness, where he spent several years with a relative who was engaged in the dockyard. He then began to study for the dissenting See also:ministry, but an imprudent See also:marriage and pecuniary difficulties compelled him to abandon the See also:idea. He became a schoolmaster, a clerk in Lubbock's banking-See also:house, and from 1998-1806 was assistant secretary to the society for the encouragement of arts, manufactures and See also:commerce, which See also:post he resigned to devote himself to the study of See also:philosophy. He had the See also:good See also:fortune to obtain the patronage of the See also:duke of See also:Norfolk and of a Mr See also:Meredith, a retired tradesman of See also:literary tastes, who assisted him to publish several of his See also:works. These mainly consisted of See also:translations of the whole or See also:part of the writings of See also:Aristotle, See also:Plato, See also:Plotinus, See also:Proclus, See also:Pausanias, See also:Porphyry, Ocellus Lucanus, and the Orphic See also:hymns. His efforts were unfavourably—almost contemptuously—received, but, in spite of defects of scholarship and lack of See also:critical See also:faculty, due recognition must be awarded to the indomitable See also:industry with which he overcame See also:early difficulties. He figures as the " See also:modern Pletho " in See also:Isaac Disraeli's Curiosities of Literature and in his novel Vaurien, and as " See also:England's See also:gentile See also:priest " in Mathias's Pursuits of Literature.
