Cotton MATHER [1, 2, 3] |
- Rev. Cotton Mather was undoubtedly the ablest of the Mather dynasty, and the most learned and famous clergyman of his day in New England. His industry and capacity for work were phenomenal. He was an omnivorous reader and able almost at a glance to take in and retain the contents of a book. He was a most voluminous writer, his publications being not less than 383 in number. Abroad he had almost a greater reputation than at home. In 1713 he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society, being the first American who received this distinction. Professor Tyler, in his "History of American Literature", has a very comprehensive and condensed sketch of Mather's life and writings, to which we refer the reader. [1]
