It has been the fortune of the professor to be more embroiled in various controversy than any other person of the present age. His first contest was with the late Archdeacon Travis, on a question of theological criticism. He was next engaged in defending the honor and reSources of Britain from the virulent attacks of one of those mischievous beings who in the heat of war endeavoured to dispirit his countrymen, and to animate their adversaries. Afterwards he was occupied in defending his hypothesis reSpecting the history of the Gospels against an acute but anonymous writer of the sister university, and who certainly was not treated in this dispute with the respect due to his real talents and supposed dignity. Our author was next brought into a newspaper warfare, in the much agitated question respecting the claims of Dr. Bell and Joseph Lancaster.

In 1766 he became the pastor of a congregation at Sheepshead in Leicestershire, where he employed himself in writing and preaching. He also attended to what is now called village and itinerant preaching, and rode for that purpose about two-thousand miles a year. Miss Jessoph, daughter of a farmer near Sleaford, "who," as he says, "loved him sincerely, and did him good, and not harm, all the days of her life." She died and was buried at Sheepshead in 1765.

Within two years, howMARSOM, JOHN, formerly a bookseller ever, one third of his congregation sepain Holborn, but at present a dissenting rated, and their pastor was left in afflicteacher of the General Baptist Persua- tion, to support himself by writing and sion. He is the author of the following publishing various pieces which were well received. Mr. Martin afterwards grew into reputation, and in 1794 was enabled to build his present meeting which is attended by a most respectable congrega tion. It is but justice to observe, that he is orthodox in his religious views, very loyal in his conduct, and altogether a worthy man in private life. Some years ago, however, the board of Baptists conceiving themselves offended by some declarations which he made in a Sermon preached before them, strongly reprobating the political deportment of many Dissenters, thought fit to eject him from their society. Such was the toleration of this body of Nonconformists towards one whose only fault consisted in his loyalty and the conscientious discharge of his duty.

Mr. Rothery, at Chelsea, after which he was admitted a pensioner, or in the second rank of under graduates of Emmanuel College, where he had for a tutor the celebrated Mr. Henry Hubbard. From Emmanuel, Mr. Martyn removed to Sidney Sussex College on taking his degree of B.A. in 1756. The public buildIngs at Sidney had been so considerably dilapidated, and the finances so much impoverished, that Dr. Parris, the master, was compelled to recur to the sequestration of several fellowships for the purpose of completing the necessary repairs. When the evil was removed, a new society was to be established; and as young men properly qualified were not to be found in the college, aliens of the most distinguished merit were sought from other foundations. Mr. Martyn was accordingly invited from Emmanuel, to be elected fellow of the society at Sidney, about the same time with Dr. Elliston, the late master, and the present ve nerable Dr. Hey. On the death of his father, Mr. Martyn was chosen professor of botany, and on the election of Dr. Elliston to the mastership he was appointed one of the tutors of his College. In both employments he exerted his talents with assiduity: and as professor he read lectures in English instead of Latin. In 1759 he took his degree of M.A.; and in 1764 he held the office of proctor of the University. In 1766 he took his degree of bachelor of divinity, and soon after he engaged in the laborious task of translating an account of the Antiquities of Herculaneum, in which work he was assisted by Dr. Lettice, fellow of the same College. About 1772 he was presented to the rectory of Luggershall in Buckinghamshire, which living he held for some years together with that of Little Marlow in the same county. During part of this period he resided at Triplow near Cambridge, where he acted as private tutor to four or five young men of fortune, one of whom was the present Admiral Sir John Borlase Warren, and with another, Mr. Hartopp of Leicestershire, he travelled through France, Switzerland and Italy. After his return, Mr. Martyn resided MARTYN, THOMAS, B.D. F.R.S.
