      by the critical sagacity of Mr . Wood . His son received his grammar-education -under the eminent Dr . Stephen Addington , at Market Hafborough , from which place he was removed in 1761 , to the academical institution of Hoxcon , in which

      Dr . David Jennings was the divimty-tutor , who , dying the following year , Mr . Wood pursued the remainder of his academical studies under the direction of Drs . Savage and Kippis . Here he was led to embrace a very different set of

      opinions from those in which he had been carefully instructed by hi * father ; whose displeasure on the occasion was very great , and produced for some time a cessation of personal intercourse- The dutiful conduct however of the son , and

      particularly his exertions to assist him when he , in the latter part of his life , fell into difficulties , very greatiy softened the father , and even led him to believe , somewhat inconsistently with his creed , that so much goodness ^ might recommend him to the favour and

      acceptance of his final Judge . In 1767 , he succeeded a former fellow-student , and intimate friend , Mr .

On his entering on the pastoral office he published an excellent sermoa on " The reciprocal Duties of a Christian Minister and his Hearer * ; and not lqng after , a volume of " Sermons on Social JLife , " which have been several years ou > t of print . In the year 1781 , he published

      at the request of an assembly of ministers before whom it was preached at Bradford , in Yorkshire , a sermon on •'• The Christian duty of cultivating a spirit of Universal Benevolence , duruig the present unhappy national hostilities . " This excellent discourse breathes the true spirit of Christian philanthropy . In 1788 ,

      he published " tivo sermons on the hnndreth Auiversary of the Revolution , ' ' the one on the important advantages derived from this event , to civil , the other , ' t 6 religious liberty . In the years 1789 , and 1790 , he greatly distinguished himself as secretary to the united association of Protestant Dissenters of

      the three denominations in the West Riding of Yorkshire , for co-operating in the application , for the Repeal of the Test Act ,. Several excellent papers , were © n this occasion the production of hi ^ pen , particularly animated an expostulation , addressed to Mr . Wilberforce , on his
