(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.

Tayler Lewis was born on March 27, 1802, in the village of Northumberland, New York, United States. His father, Samuel Lewis, had been an officer in the Revolutionary War; his mother, Sarah Van Valkenburg, was of Dutch descent; and he was named after her uncle, John Tayler, former lieutenant-governor of the state.
Education
He went to school in Northumberland and at Fort Miller, where the associations seem to have made a deep impression upon him, for he used to go back to the school and later to the school site year after year. He was prepared for college by Dr. Proudfit at Salem, New York, and entered Union College in 1816, graduating in the class of 1820. He received the honorary degree of LL. D. from Union college in 1844.
Career
Lewis studied in the law office of Judge S. A. Foote at Albany, was admitted to the Saratoga bar in 1825, and began to practise at Fort Miller. Dissatisfied with the law, he began to teach, as principal of the academy at Waterford (1833 - 1835), then at Ogdensburg (1833 - 1837), and in 1838 at Waterford again. A Phi Beta Kappa oration, "Faith, the Life of Science, " which he delivered at Union College in 1838, aroused a good deal of attention, and that year he was appointed professor of Greek in the University of the City of New York. He now wrote and studied much; and his Plato contra Atheos: Plato against the Atheists (1845), may still be read with interest by Grecians.
In 1850 he became professor of Greek at Union College, and later professor of Oriental languages and Biblical literature. He was a hard student and mastered (besides Latin and Greek) Syriac, Koptic, Arabic, and Chaldaic, and read widely in mathematics, music, astronomy, and history. He was also deeply interested in current events at an exciting time in the national history. A strong anti-slavery man, he contributed to the propaganda of the Civil War State Rights: a Photograph from the Ruins of Ancient Greece (1864). The chief interest of his life, however, was the study of religion, and his main purpose was to show that revelation and scientific knowledge are not merely consistent but interdependent.
He was a representative American student and contributed to the American edition of J. P. Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures (1865 - 1880) and was on the American board of the Committee for the Revision of the Old Testament.
Achievements
Among his most important publications were The Six Days of Creation (1855), The Bible and Science, or the World Problem (1856), and The Divine Human in the Scriptures (1860).
He joined the Dutch Reformed Church at Fort Miller.
Personality
Lewis was of slight and fragile figure, which contrasted strikingly with the vigor of his controversial energy and the power of his scholarship. His portraits present a severe countenance, but those who remember him think of a very fine and gentle expression and beautiful silver hair. His students had a great affection for him, though in later years they took advantage of his deafness to say dreadful things in his classroom or when they met him on the campus.
Connections
In 1833 Lewis married Jane Keziah, daughter of Daniel Payn, by whom he had six children.
