Gregory Olinthus

Gregory, Olinthus (1774-1841), was born at Yaxley, Hunts. At the age of nineteen he published Lessons Astronomical and Philosophical, and in 1802 a treatise on astronomy which made his name known. He had early made the acquaintance of Charles Hutton, whom in 1807 he succeeded in the mathematical chair at Woolwich. He is quite as well known by his biographies of Robert Hall and J. M. Good and his popular work on Christian evidences as by his scientific writings.
