Hervey 1714-1758. "While in Devonshire he planned and probably began his ÔMeditations among the Tombs.Õ An excursion to Kilkhampton from Bideford is said to have been the occasion of his laying the scene of the ÔMeditationsÕ among the tombs of that place.Hervey's writings were for a long time exceedingly popular. His first work was entitled ÔMeditations and Contemplations.Õ The first volume containing ÔMeditations among the TombsÕ ÔReflections on a Flower GardenÕ and ÔA Descant upon CreationÕ was published in February 1745-6 and the second containing ÔContemplations on the NightÕ ÔContemplations on the Starry HeavensÕ and a ÔWinter PieceÕ appeared in 1747. These volumes are filled with truisms expressed in the most inflated language but were admired by educated persons and even superseded to a great extent such a powerful work as Law's ÔSerious Call.Õ The explanation may in part be found in Hervey's sympathy with the principles of the evangelical revival and partly in a true appreciation of the beauties of nature very rare in his time. If he had condescended to write plain English many of his descriptions would have been pleasing. " -DNB.ESTC lists only one copy of this edition. ESTC N67119 Only 1 copy listed.
