End of section 29 Section 30 of the Early Hanoversians by Edward Ellis Morris This LibriVox recording is in the public domain Recording by Pamela Nagami Book 3 Chapter 2 Barclay and Oglethorpe The reign of George II is famous for two philanthropic schemes which are connected with the names of Bishop Berkeley and of General Oglethorpe.

This is not the place to discuss Berkeley's philosophical doctrines, but it is right to give some account of the man to whom Pope assigned every virtue under heaven.

He was of good family, born and educated in Ireland, being entered at Trinity College, Dublin, early in 1700, when he was only fifteen.

At Oxford, after a few months, Berkeley died.

The story of his life gives the best idea of the sweetness of his character and the earnestness of his benevolence.

Sufficient honour is not paid in history to the name of James Oglethorpe, who in the former half of the century anticipated the work which in the later half made Howard famous, and who from philanthropic motives founded the colony of Georgia.

Oglethorpe is perhaps best remembered by the couplet of Pope, One driven by strong benevolence of soul Shall fly like Oglethorpe from pole to pole.
