Edward Copleston : [Review in Edinburgh Review of Ricardo on Currency and Prinsep on Money]

'Lord Grey will like that article in the Edinburgh Review upon Universal Suffrage; it is by Sir James McIntosh. There is a pamphlet on Bullion by Mr Copplestone of Oxford much read; but bullion is not I think a favourite dish at Howick'.

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Sydney Smith      Print: Serial / periodical

  

Edward Copleston : Inquiry into the Doctrines of Necessity & Predestination

'I think you do not mean the Treatise of Copplestone that I do, for I see nothing in his Discourses of Necessity and Contingency, of Predestination & Free-will, which are his Subjects,that I do not cordially assent to. He pretends not to see farther into the mill-stone than you & I do. I may read the Cardiophonia of Mr Newton as you recommend it, but the Title offends my Taste & who could guess what Cardiophonia was about? - I have been engaged by the confessions of St Augustine in Milner's History of the Church: the piety is impressive and the Story of his philosophic-Life & Conversation, curious: His "City of God" I expect to find very interesting.'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: George Crabbe      Print: Book
