Excerpt from An Essay on Man, Together With the Universal Prayer, and the Dying Christian to His Soul: Translated Into Prose, After the Manner of the Rev. Mr. Hervey, Author of the Meditations Amongst the Tombs, &C Our bard was born in London, the 21st of May 1688, and was christened by the name of Alexander. He was of a tender and delicate constitution, which occasioned his being so late of going to school. He was taught to read at home by an old aunt, and learned to write without any assistance, by copying printed books. He took uncommon delight in reading. The family being of the Romish religion, at eight years of age he was put under one Taverner, a priest, who lived in Hampshire, who taught him the rudiments of the Latin and Greek tongues together; and he soon after was sent to a popish seminary near Winchester, from whence he was removed to a school near Hyde-park corner. He received very little benefit under those masters, which made him write a satire, exposing their insufficiency: for he says that he was obliged to begin over-again, and was one that might be said to be self-taught.
