From Wiki: William Webster (1689–1758) was a British clergyman in the Church of England and a voluminous theological writer. In 1723 he edited The Life of General Monk (London), from the manuscript of Thomas Skinner , contributing a preface in vindication of George Monck's character. A second edition appeared in 1724. In 1730 he translated ‘The New Testament, with Critical Remarks’ (London, 2 vols.), from the French Of Richard Simon. On 16 December 1732 , under the pseudonym of ‘Richard Hooker of the Inner Temple,’ he began to edit a periodical entitled The Weekly Miscellany ; not very successful, it was discontinued on 27 June 1741. From the number of religious essays it contained it became known as ‘Old Mother Hooker's Journal. ’ It is known for the attacks made in its columns on William Warburton's Divine Legation of Moses. Webster's contributions to the controversy were republished probably in 1739, under the title of Remarks on the Divine Legation . They earned him a place in the Dunciad, Alexander Pope, in 1742, inserting a passage in which Webster was coupled with George Whitefield, who had also criticized Warburton. Later in life, he fell into great poverty. He died unmarried at Ware on 4 December 1758. Condition: Please zoom in on photos carefully as they are part of the description. In full leather , front cover is detached, along with the ffep. Back cover holding on by the strings. Both covers heavily chipped. Spine cover is cracked. Hard to see, but the original label is still there. Short of the 3 dried flowers and the last few pages foxed [along with a few pages having minor water staining to the edges], these pages are generally clean , free of marks, rips, folds, or writing, ever so lightly toned. The flower picture shows how light the water staining is -some pages are just a bit darker than that.
