	John Toland - LoveToKnow 1911
		TOLAND, JOHN [christened Janus JuNius] (1670-1722), English deist, was born on the 30th of November 1670, near Londonderry, Ireland.
		Toland's next work of importance was his Life of Milton (1698), in which a reference to "the numerous supposititious pieces under the name of Christ and His apostles and other great persons," provoked the charge that he had called in question the genuineness of the New Testament writings.
		In 1701 Toland spent a few weeks at Hanover as secretary to the embassy of the earl of Macclesfield, and was received with favour by the electress Sophia in acknowledgment of his book Anglia Libera, a defence of the Hanoverian succession.

		It is representative of a series of investigations by John Toland and his collaborators using bifurcation theory, topological degree theory, variational methods, dynamical systems theory and functional analysis to analyse the existence and properties of solutions of differential equations, particularly those from steady-wave hydrodynamics.
		Toland, in a long collaboration with the late Charles Amick (Chicago), established himself as a leading contributor to the rigorous theory of steady water waves and has transformed parts of hydrodynamics into strict mathematical analysis.
		Toland’s strength is that he does not choose problems that yield to the techniques he happens to possess.

		Toland is best known for Christianity not Mysterious (1696), which borrowed much from John Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding.
		I demonstrate that Toland's acceptance of Locke's distinction between real and nominal essences provides the epistemological underpinnings of his early writings on self-moving matter and his interpretation of Isaac Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1687), both seen in Toland's Letters to Serena (1704).
		Before Toland returned from studies in Holland in August 1693, he solicited letters of introduction to Locke from Philippus van Limborch and Benjamin Furly, men with whom Locke associated during his self-imposed exile after attempts to exclude James II from the crown had failed.
