  Richard Bentley (Scholar) - LoveToKnow 1911
RICHARD BENTLEY (1662-1742), English scholar and critic, was born at Oulton near Wakefield, Yorkshire, on the 27th of January 1662.
Bentley's mother, the daughter of a stonemason in Oulton, was a woman of excellent understanding and some education, as she was able to give her son his first lessons in Latin.
In the same year Bentley was elected a fellow of the Royal Society, and in 1696 proceeded to the degree of D.D. The recognition of continental scholars came in the shape of a dedication, by Graevius, prefixed to a dissertation of Albert Rubens, De Vita Flavii Mallii Theodori, published at Utrecht in 1694.

 Richard Bentley
In the year 1700 Bentley received that main preferment which, says Thomas De Quincey, "was at once his reward and his scourge for the rest of his life." The six commissioners of ecclesiastical patronage unanimously recommended Bentley to the crown for the mastership of Trinity College, Cambridge.
In 1718 Bentley was deprived by the university of his degrees, as a punishment for failing to appear in the vice-chancellor's court in a civil suit; and it was not until 1724 that the law compelled the university to restore them.
Bentley died in 1740, leaving a son, Richard, and two daughters, one of whom married in 1728 Denison Cumberland, grandson of Richard Cumberland, bishop of Peterborough.

The letters that Bentley and Newton exchanged before the publication of the lectures show Newton clarifying his position: in particular he is anxious to emphasize that gravity depends on the constant presence of an agent and that Newtonian cosmology is not intended to justify a self-sustaining universe.
Bentley was a remarkable Master: from the start he made a number of petty encroachments on the privileges of the Fellows, as a result of which, in 1710, the Fellows appealed to John Moore, Bishop of Ely to remove him.

 Beginning Philology | Richard Bentley   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Bentley's true mastership was not of one or another College, but of philology.
Bentley thus possessed philological method, but what has most impressed modern readers is his genius for reaching a correct emendation of some text, not by the application of method, but by literary insight.
We may say as a final epitome that Bentley had enough sense of method to correctly anticipate the workings of method, just as he had a broad enough vision of philology to be the forerunner of philology.

As letters to Richard Henry Dana and Richard Bentley attest, Melville was far along on a new book by May 1850.
Melville had promised Bentley that the book would be ready that autumn, in expectation of which he was sent an advance of 150 pounds.
The resulting work was finally shipped to Bentley on September 10, 1851: although it received many positive reviews, it sold poorly and accelerated the decline of Melville's literary reputation.
