Sir , Clapton , Nov . SO , 1818 . THE following additions to the Memoir of Mr . Dodson , have occurred to me since the appearance of your last Number . P . 602 , col . \ , Note , Dr . T . Morgan . —I learn from two Notes in the Life
of Dr . Chandler , in the first volume of the Prot . Diss . Mag ., that Mr . Thomas Morgan " was in early life a poor lad in a farmer ' s house , near Bridge water , Somerset . The pregnancy of his genius was conspicuous
and the Rev . John Moore , who kept an academy in that town , offered him tuition gratis , if friends could be found to discharge his board and other necessary expenses / ' ( P . 258 . ) Mr . M . was ordained at Marl borough , in 1717 . Dr . Chandler ' s father , Mr .
Henry Chandler , of Bath , who had been minister at Mahnesbury and Hungerford , published , that year , " the Sermon and Charge delivered at the Ordination , " with a Preface , in which he maintained t € that
ordination to the Christian ministry doth not , and cannot give authority to the persons ordained . " 1 remember to have seen , as part of that publication , Mr . Morgan ' s Confession of Faith ,
which Dr . Chandler largely quoted in 1741 . Dr . Morgan corresponded with Dr . Lardner in 1735 , ( as appears by Dr . KappisTs Memoirs of Lardner , pp . exxxii—cxxxix . ) and died in
1743 . Ibid . col . % Note * . Matriculation at Oxford . The following account I copy from the Old Whig , No . 45 , written in 1735 . It is quoted from tC „ 1 ! 1 JK 1 A * A 1 1 Tffc Tf •» * little workentitled Parecbolce
