196 SECRETS OF OUR NATIONAL LITERATURE Why Abraham Tucker, the philosophical squire of Betch- worth, near Dorking, should have kept back his real name from his publications has not been revealed to us. All that his grandson can say on the subject is to connect it with " his disinclination to attract public notice." His first work. The Country Gentleman s Advice to his Son, 1755, on the folly and pernicious consequences of party clubs, was without any name on it. In 1763, nine years after he had... begun his metaphysical labours, he published, under the disguise of Edward Search, 1 his Freewill, Foreknowledge and Fate, a Fragment, with a whimsical preface from the author and another from his annotator, Mr. Cuthbert Com- ment of Search Hall. It was favourably noticed in the Monthly Review for July, 1763, but the author took exception to one passage in the criticism, and promptly brought out a pamphlet of Man in Quest of Himself ; or a Defence of the Individuality of the Human Mind or Self.
