(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Nathaniel Whitaker
Edit ProfileEducation
Nathaniel was graduated from the College of New Jersey (Princeton) in 1752.
Career
He was licensed to preach by the New York Presbytery, and became minister of the Presbyterian Church at Woodbridge, N. J. , in 1755. In 1760 he transferred his activities to the Sixth (Chelsea) Parish of Norwich, Connecticut Here he was a neighbor of the Rev. Eleazar Wheelock, who in 1754 had established at Lebanon a successful charity school for the education of Indians. At the suggestion of George Whitefield, Wheelock had determined to send one of his old pupils, the Rev. Samson Occom, to England to raise funds for this undertaking, and Whitaker was chosen to accompany him as manager of the enterprise. The two envoys, sailing from Boston in December 1765, reached England the following February. Through the influence of Whitefield they were cordially received by such evangelical leaders as William, second Earl of Dartmouth, the Countess of Huntingdon, Sir Charles Hotham, and John Thornton. Two busy years of solicitation, personal interviews, and almost daily preaching were spent in England and Scotland. The gross amount obtained was 12, 000, a larger sum than was secured by direct solicitation in England by any other educational institution in America in pre-Revolutionary days. Probably the appeal of Occom was most effective in attaining this result, but the business acumen and industry of Whitaker contributed in no small degree to the success of the mission. Although the fund (placed in the care of a trust headed by the Earl of Dartmouth) for the most part was spent for the purpose for which it was designed, the possession of the endowment was largely responsible for the grant of the charter of Dartmouth College to Wheelock by Gov. John Wentworth of New Hampshire in 1769. During his stay Whitaker received the degree of D. D. from St. Andrew's University in 1767. From 1769 to 1784 he was minister of the Third Church at Salem, Massachussets, and from 1785 to 1790 of the Presbyterian Church at Skowhegan, Me. He died in Hampton, Va.
Achievements
-
The insistence of Whitaker upon the Presbyterian form of church government in the hostile soil of New England, resulted in continual friction with his congregations, and, in each case, in his final removal from his position. A number of sermons relating to this issue were published, as well as two upon the doctrine of the regeneration. He was an ardent patriot, and published a sermon upon the Boston massacre, and two vindictive attacks upon the Tories. His activities extended to practical matters: he engaged in trade in Norwich; he attempted to combine the practice of inoculation with the main purpose of his English mission; he established a saltpeter factory in Salem during the Revolution; and he built a new church building in each of his three New England parishes.

Personality
His fondness for controversy brought him many enemies. The terms "tricky" and "unreliable" are among the mildest which they applied to him. On the other hand, he was singularly handsome, with a good voice and eloquence above the average, he was dignified and positive in manner, and, most of all, possessed a high degree of initiative and driving force.
Connections
In Woodbridge he married Sarah Smith, by whom he had five children.
