W.Edward Young, LL.D., 1683-1765, English poet. His Night Thoughts was a very popular work. “The poem is a mighty and magnificent sermon, preached as from a graveyard, on the vanity and brevity of life and the worthlessness and folly of an ill-spent career: on the divine love to sinners, and the great propitiation offered for them; and on the bright hopes of a new and happy existence which Christianity has opened up.” – John Eadie, D.D., LL.D. (1866).
