GILBERT (1756-1801) , See also:English classical See also:scholar and politician, was See also:born at See also:Nottingham on the 22nd of See also:February 1756. He was educated at Jesus See also:College, See also:Cambridge (See also:fellow, 1776). In 1778 he took orders, but in the following See also:year quitted the See also:- CHURCH

After leaving Warrington, he took private pupils at Nottingham and other places, and also occupied himself with See also:literary See also:work. His most important See also:production at this See also:period was the first See also:part of the See also:Silva critica, the See also:design of which was the " See also:illustration of the Scriptures by See also:light borrowed from the See also:philology of See also:Greece and See also:Rome." In 1790 he was appointed See also:professor of See also:classics at the newly-founded Unitarian college at See also:Hackney, but his proposed reforms and his objection to religious observances led to unpleasantness and to his resignation in the following year. From this 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 he sup-ported himself by his See also:pen. His edition of See also:Lucretius, a work of high pretensions and little solid performance, appeared in 1796–1799, and gained for the editor a very exaggerated reputation (see See also:Munro's Lucretius, i. pp. 19, 20). His light-hearted See also:criticism of See also:Porson's edition of the See also:Hecuba was avenged by the latter's famous See also:toast: " Gilbert Wakefield; what's Hecuba to him or he to Hecuba ? " About this time Wakefield, who hated See also:Pitt and condemned See also:war as utterly unchristian, abandoned literature for See also:political and religious controversy.
