Excerpt from The General Biographical Dictionary, Vol. 4: Containing an Historical and Critical Account of the Lives and Writings of the Most Eminent Persons in Every Nation; Particularly the British and Irish; From the Earliest Accounts to the Present Time
Mr.baron, we are likewise told, only breathed, he did not live, in his own estimation, but whilst he was in some way or other lending his assistance to the glorious cause ofreligious and civil liberty. He wrote, he published, and republished perpetually in its defence. His character was one of the most artless and undisguised in the world. He was a man of real and great learning; of fixed and steady integrity; and a tender and sympathizing heart. Yet with such a heart, we are told, not very consistently, that had he been mindful of his domestic concerns, he might have left a competency behind for his wife and family, but his whole soul was engaged in the cause, and be neglected every other concern. For this absurd and unjust train of feeling, we are referred to the natural impetuosity of his temper, and his eccentricities, which indicated occasional derangements of thind. With many virtues, it is added, and a few faults, which must have been of a peculiar kind, since they only wanted the elevation 'of a higher station and a better fate to have assumed the form of virtues, Mr. Baron passed the greatest part of his life in penurious circumstances, which neither abated the generous ardour, or overcame the laudable independency of his spirit. These virtues, with their blessed effects, were all he left he. Hind him, for the consolation and support of a widow and three children. He died at his house at Blackheath, Feb. 22, 1768. His principal publication was a collection of what he called liberty-tracts, first published in 2 vols. 1752, under the title of The pillars of Priestcraft and Ortho doxy shaken. In 1767, he prepared another edition, eu larged to four volumes, to be published by subscription. In his advertisement he describes himself as a man who. Has been made a sacrifice to proud bigots, religious rogues, and psalm-singing hypocrites and Hatters himself that his subscribers will enable him to express his utter con tempt, and everlasting abhorrence of them all. To this meek wish, he adds an assurance that the names'of the subscribers shall not be printed. This edition appeared after his death, and was published for the benefit of his family, along with a'new edition of Milton's Eikonoclastes, and his manuscript sermons and, papers.
