Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life, Character and Writings of Joseph Butler, D. C. L: Late Lord Bishop of Durham It is remarked, by a writer in a valuable Irish periodical, in an article entitled Butleriana, as "passing" strange, that no biographer was ever found to preserve to us any memoir of the profoundest thinker, the man of the greatest intellect in his day; and not only pre-eminent in his own day, but in the foremost rank of the immortalized sages of the world; a man, moreover, beloved by a circle of highly-gifted friends, who appreciated his worth, delighted in his society, and honoured his memory. The short account of him in the Biographia Britannica is nevertheless the fullest, indeed, I may say, the only memoir that now exists.
