Excerpt from Miscellaneous Works of Lord Macaulay in Five Volumes, Vol. 4 of 5Few things in literary history are more extraordinary than the storm which this little dissertation raised. Bentley had treated Boyle with forbearance, but he had treated Christ Church with contempt, and the Christ Church men, wherever dispersed, were as much attached to their college as a Scotch man to his country or a J esuit to his order. Their in¿uence was great. They were dominant at Oxford, powerful in the Inns of Court and in the College of Physicians, conspicuous in Parliament and in the literary and fashionable circles of London. Their unanimous cry was that the honor of the college must be vindicated, that the insolent Cambridge ped ant must be put down. Poor Boyle was unequal to the task, and disinclined to it. It was therefore assigned to his tutor, Atterbury.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
