Isaac Barrow
Isaac Barrow has been described as “an eminent mathematician and classical scholar, and one of the greatest of the great Anglican divines and preachers of the Caroline period.”* His father was a linen draper in London—a man of royalist sympathies who followed the English court to Paris during the period of the Commonwealth and Protectorate (1649-1660). For a time, Barrow was a pupil at Charterhouse in London. His career there may be judged from his father's statement that “if it should please the good Lord to take one of his children, he could best spare Isaac.” It is not surprising that his son was sent to another school, the one chosen being Felstead in Essex.
