Historical Account of the tVarrington Academy * ( Continued from p . 579 . ) On Dr . Aikin ' s death , the Rev . Nicholas Clayton , of Liverpool , became his successor as Tutor in
Theology . This excellent person can scarcely be considered as connected with the Warrington Aca . deray , for Jthough he had at intervals beea invited to each of the three professional chairs , the institution was almost past recovery
before he , unfortunately for himself , submitted to be nominated Divinity Tutor . If not , however , on account of the Institution , yet surely on his own account , it is desirable to preserve such frail memorials as can now be collected of his highly estimable character .

or four years at least before he went to Liverpool , he was a minister at Boston in Lincolnshire , in connection with ( he same con - gregation which Dr . Kippis had left in 1750 .
