	Sheridan - LoveToKnow 1911
		Thomas Sheridan (1687-1738), grandfather of the dramatist, was born at Cavan in 1687, and was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, taking his B.A. degree in 1711 and that of M.A. in 1714; he became B.D. in 1724 and D.D. in 1726.
		Thomas Sheridan is chiefly known as the favourite companion and confidant of Swift during his later residence in Ireland.
		Sheridan's indictment of the established system of education was that it did not fit the higher classes for their duties in life, that it was uniform for all and profitable for none; and he urged as a matter of vital national concern that special training should be given for the various professions.

	The scholar of scandal by Brooke Allen
		Sheridan saw himself as a parliamentarian first, a playwright second, but posterity has never agreed: when he was buried in Westminster Abbey it was not upon the spot he would have chosen, at the side of his longtime comrade-in-arms, Charles James Fox, but in Poet’s Corner.
		Sheridan urged discretion upon the couple, and when the question of whether or not the prince was married was brought up in Parliament, Sheridan rushed into the breach, managing to distract public fears with a speech that was a masterpiece of equivocation.
		Sheridan was as celebrated a speaker as he was a writer, possibly the greatest of the eighteenth-century orators.

		Yet, in spite of his sympathy with the chief aim of the Académie Française, he would not secure these advantages by means of any academy or society, but trusted to the introduction of rhetoric and elocution into the ordinary school and college course, and, thereafter, to the critical discussion which that introduction would bring about.
		Sheridan proposed to give effect to his ideas by establishing a school for the post-collegiate instruction of the well-to-do on lines which, to-day, would be termed “vocational”; that is, the studies pursued were to bear directly upon the future occupation of the pupil.
		He was one of the earliest students of English prosody, 20 phonetics and spelling-reform; by insisting that language is primarily and essentially a thing spoken, not written, he anticipated the principle underlying recent changes in language-teaching.
