which he was admitted when he was but thirteen years
of age, and where he took his Degree of A.B. at the
age of Sixteen, and his subsequent Degree of A.M.
by the time he was Twenty, by which, as I was
informed, he became the Youngest Graduate that
had ever been, in the regular Course of Education
at Either of our Universities.
With respect to the violin which makes a Part of
the Picture, it gives me occasion to mention that, by the before
time he was five years Old he wanted much to know
the meaning of Musical-Notes and being told, they
could not be explained but by means of some Instrument
a Friend made him a Present of a kind of Violin,
called a Kit, and as he had an Ear, he was soon
capable of playing several Tunes, which afterwards
encouraged me to give him the assistance of a Master of
the Profession.
That he has at present, & has always had so much
of the Philosopher in him, your Lordship will probably
think is the less to be wondered at when I tell you that
more some of those who knew him when he was but five
years of age used to call him The Philosopher by that Name and, if
he really was one, he must indeed be said to be The minute
Philosopher : but if the late tho he could not be supposed to be Bishop Berkley were now living,
who published a Book under that name would now have
he could not however be thought to be one of Those agreeing to when the
late Bishop Berkley attacked with with so much spirit in a Book he just published under the title of the Minute Philosopher
