Author (of Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded, Clarissa, or, the History of a Young Lady, and The History of Sir Charles Grandison) Samuel Richardson was born on August 19, 1689 in Mackworth, Derbyshire, England. He said, “Vast is the field of Science. The more a man knows, the more he will find he has to know." [And some things will never be known, not because they are unknowable, but because we can’t get to them.]... Mr. Richardson died on July 4, 1761 in Parson's Green, England.
