=Taylor, Jeremy.= 1613-1667. Bp. Down and Connor. Theologian. His best works are Sermons, The Great Exemplar, and Holy Living and Holy Dying.

The End of the Play and Bouillebaisse are his two best poems. _See_ _Hannay's Studies on Thackeray in Every Saturday, vol. 6, Old Series, Shepard's Pen Pictures of Modern Authors, Rideing's Stray Moments with Thackeray, and Taylor's Thackeray the Humorist._ _Pub.
