This singular character, who may be considered as the very cameleon of literature, was born in London in 1735. He had no academical education, but was bred to physic in a very humble line, though afterwards he contrived to obtain orders, and for some time officiated as a curate in and about London. In the year 1771 he started a project peculiar to himself, that of abridging the Sermons of eminent divines, and printing them in the form of manuscripts, so as not only to save clergymen the trouble of composing their discourses, but even of transcribing them. The scheme succeeded, and to the disgrace of the age there were not wanting many dignitaries of the Church, who gave their encouragement to this scandalous species of quackery; which has found imitators in one or two beneficed clergymen of the present day. Dr. Trusler next established a printing and bookselling business upou an extensive and very lucrative scale. He resided several years at Bath on the profits of his trade, and latterly at his estate on Englefield Green in Middlesex. This wholesale dealer in compilations has manufactured the following works, several of which, however, it must be acknowledged, have the merit of utility.
