From prison, Mirabeau launched his extensive literary career, drafting several titles before earning a reversal of his death sentence.

On one such furlough to London, Mirabeau authored ''Considerations on the Order of Cincinnatus'' in response to American pamphlets, authored by Aedanus Burke (1743-1802) of South Carolina. Under the pseudonym "Cassius," Burke circulated two pamphlets, ''An Address to the Freemen of South Carolina'' (January 1783) and ''Considerations on the Society or Order of Cincinnati'' (October 1783), where Burke condemned the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_of_the_Cincinnati Society of the Cincinnati], a lineage organization established to preserve the ideals and fellowship of the officers of the Continental Army who served in the Revolutionary War, as an attempt at reestablishing a hereditary nobility within America's budding republic.<ref>Ibid.</ref>

Burke's arguments appealed to Marabeau's distrust of established political order, a political theme catching fire in late-eighteenth century France. In drafting ''Considerations on the Order of Cincinnatus'', Marabeau utilized materials personally provided by Benjamin Franklin, whose role as Minister to France effectively muzzled any ability to publicly criticize the the French monarchy.<ref>''The new International Encyclopedia'', s.v. “Count de Morabeau, Gabriel Honore Riqueti.”</ref>

Though posthumously considered critical to the developments of the French Revolution, Marabeau's contributions to history are often examined with mixed opinion. Following Marabeau's death, evidence produced at Revolution-era trials exposed Marabeau's hidden loyalty to the crown and workings as an intermediary between major incumbent and revolutionary forces.<ref>Ibid.</ref>

While the author signed his name "T.M.," Matthew claims to reside in Northumberland County and possess a plantation within Virginia's Stafford County. Matthew later represented this property while serving on the House of Burgesses, allowing scholars and historians greater comfort in affirming the work as Matthew's.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor%C3%A9_Gabriel_Riqueti,_comte_de_Mirabeau Comte de Mirabeau, Honoré Gabriel Riqueti] (1749-1791) was born on March 9, 1749 at Bignon, near Nemours. Son of a respected French economist and grandson to Jean Antoine, hero of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cassano_%281705%29 1705 Battle of Cassano], Mirabeau enjoyed the privileged upbringing of a nobleman. As the fifth child and second son of his family, Mirabeau began his anticipated armed service career in 1767, following years of training in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%c3%89cole_Militaire French military school]. Mirabeau's propensity for initiating scandalous love affairs, acquiring large gambling debts, and igniting heated arguments with superiors led to several imprisonments and exiles. Escaping prison at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_de_Joux castle of Joux] with his mistress Sophie, Mirabeau fled to neighboring Switzerland. While Mirabeau lived abroad, French authorities condemned him to death at Pontarlier for rapt et vol. In May 1777, French police seized Mirabeau and returned him to prison once more, this time in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teau_de_Vincennes castle of Vincennes].

From prison, Mirabeau launched his extensive literary career, drafting several titles before earning a reversal of his death sentence. After fortuitously securing his release, Mirabeau's political discourse adopted a distinctly populist flair. Attacking the existing French order with pointed censure, Mirabeau occasionally retreated to Holland and London as a way of calming the controversy generated by his writings.

On one such furlough to London, Mirabeau authored ''Considerations on the Order of Cincinnatus'' in response to American pamphlets, authored by Aedanus Burke (1743-1802) of South Carolina. Under the pseudonym "Cassius," Burke circulated two pamphlets, ''An Address to the Freemen of South Carolina'' (January 1783) and ''Considerations on the Society or Order of Cincinnati'' (October 1783), where Burke condemned the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_of_the_Cincinnati Society of the Cincinnati], a lineage organization established to preserve the ideals and fellowship of the officers of the Continental Army who served in the Revolutionary War, as an attempt at reestablishing a hereditary nobility within America's budding republic.

Burke's arguments appealed to Marabeau's distrust of established political order, a political theme catching fire in late-eighteenth century France. In drafting ''Considerations on the Order of Cincinnatus'', Marabeau utilized materials personally provided by Benjamin Franklin, whose role as Minister to France effectively muzzled any ability to publicly criticize the the French monarchy.

Though posthumously considered critical to the developments of the French Revolution, Marabeau's contributions to history are often examined with mixed opinion. Following Marabeau's death, evidence produced at Revolution-era trials exposed Marabeau's hidden loyalty to the crown and workings as an intermediary between major incumbent and revolutionary forces.

Appropriate prayers, and a homily on which aspects of Christian life were associated with the particular festival or fast, followed each entry. The catechism was widely disseminated even outside of England—there were more than forty editions— and it was used by the clergy for sermon ideas on holy days.<ref>Alan Cook, "[http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/19883 Nelson, Robert (1656–1715)]" in ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' (Oxford University Press, 2004- ), accessed 11 Nov 2013.</ref> "It is firmly of its time.

Lowth gained recognition for his poems in both English and Latin very early in life. In 1741, he was elected a professor of poetry at Oxford, and served for ten years. He focused on religious poetry, looking into “divinely inspired” Hebrew verses and creating new methods for reading and understanding the religious passages of verse.<ref>Scott Mandelbrote, "[http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/17104 Lowth, Robert (1710–1787)]" in ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' (Oxford University Press, 2004- ), accessed Oct. 7, 2013.</ref>

Lowth's ''De Sacra Poesi Hebræorum'' derived from his lectures at Oxford. First published in 1753, the work helped "to expand and define the canon of biblical poetry."<ref>Mandelbrote, “Lowth, Robert."</ref> In it,
<blockquote>"Lowth urged the importance of setting biblical poetry in the context of oriental rather than classical style and the impossibility of ever determining the ancient vocalization of the Hebrew Bible with sufficient accuracy to identify its true metrical structure. In place of metre Lowth argued that the structure of Hebrew verse could be identified by its often parabolic or figurative mode of expression, and in particular by the parallelisms, or repetitions of similar words or phrases, sometimes in a regular order, sometimes not, that gave rhythm to Hebrew poetry and song, and served almost as an alternative to metre. Using these critical tools Lowth also tried to identify a sublime, and divinely inspired, quality in Hebrew verse."<ref>Ibid.</ref></blockquote>

Foster Damon, ''A Blake Dictionary: The Ideas and Symbols of William Blake'' (Providence: Brown University Press, 1965), 61.</ref> In his first book, ''Observations and Enquiries Relating to Various Parts of Ancient History'' (1767), Bryant attacked selected opinions in the works of such celebrated antiquarian scholars as Theodore Beza (1519–1605), Hugo Grotius (1583–1645), Samuel Bochart (1599–1667), and Richard Bentley (1662–1742). His work was favourably received. Suitably encouraged, he next published the book for which he is most often remembered, ''A New System, or, An Analysis of Ancient Mythology''. Bryant believed all mythology came from the Hebrew Scripture. He used ''A New System'' to link mythology to the Book of Genesis,<ref>John Charles Whale and Stephen Copley, ''Beyond Romanticism: New Approaches to Texts and Contexts, 1780-1832'' (Routledge, 1992), 92.</ref> and explained how contemporary society arose from ancient civilizations. "It is my purpose in the ensuing work to give an account of the first ages; and of the great events, which happened in the infancy of the world. In consequence, I shall lay before the reader, what Gentile writers have said upon this subject, collaterally with the accounts given by Moses, as long as I find him engaged in the generally history of mankind." <ref>Jacob Bryant, ''A New System, or An Analysis of Ancient Mythology'' (London: Printed for T. Payne, P. Elmsly, B. White, and J. Walter, 1775), 1:v.</ref> 
 
''A New System'', according to its subtitle, was "an attempt … to divest tradition of fable, and to reduce the truth to its original purity;" the actual result was simply a fantastic hodgepodge of spurious etymology (in the manner of Bochart) and riotous imagination.<ref>Dennis R. Dean, "[http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/3795 Bryant, Jacob (bap. 1717, d. 1804)]" in ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' (Oxford University Press, 2004- ), accessed October 27, 2013.</ref> The work opened conversation between world scholars, as several writers publicly opposed Bryant’s ideas and encouraged him to respond through further writing.<ref>Ibid.</ref>

}}[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minucius_Felix Minucius Marcus Minucuis Felix] (d. ca. 250 CE) was a Roman advocate, rhetorician, and Christian apologist. His only known work,<ref>''Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy'', s.v. "[http://www.iep.utm.edu/minucius/ Minucius Felix (c. 2nd and 3rd C. CE)]," accessed Oct. 8, 2013.</ref> ''Octavius'', one of the earliest Christian apologies in Latin. It is a dialogue between pagan Caecilius Natalis and a Christian, Octavius Januarius. We know little about the author, Marcus Minucuis Felix, other than that he was a lawyer and a Christian.<ref>''Encyclopaedia Britannica Online'', s.v. "[http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/384629/Marcus-Minucius-Felix Marcus Minucius Felix]," accessed October 17, 2013.</ref>
<blockquote>Minucius is of interest not only to theologians and Church historians, but also to those with an interest in philosophy and rhetoric. Unlike other Latin apologists of the period, such as Tertullian, who asserted ''credo quia ineptum'' (I believe because [it is] absurd) (''De Carne Christi'' 5.4), and who was openly hostile to speculative philosophy, Minucius attempted to establish at least the ''rational possibility'' of the Christian faith. The rhetoric found within the ''Octavius'' can be considered Ciceronian, having elements of the six-part speech (exordium, narration, partition, confirmation, refutation, and conclusion). This text represents an important stage in the evolution of rhetoric from a primarily oral, forensic, and political art, to a literary art.<ref>''Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy'', s.v. "Minucius Felix."</ref> </blockquote>

The edition in George Wythe’s collection was edited by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Davies_(Queens%27) John Davies] (1679–1732), who was president of Queen’s College, Cambridge. He was close friends with the eminent classicist [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Bentley Richard Bentley], who contributed to many of Davies’s editions.<ref>Thompson Cooper, "[http://www.oxforddnb.com.proxy.wm.edu/view/article/7248 Davies, John (1679–1732)]," rev.

Listed in the [[Jefferson Inventory]] of [[Wythe's Library]] as "Minucii Felicis Octavius. 12mo. Foulis." This was one of the books kept by [[Thomas Jefferson]].
