Life edit

He was born in Yarkhill, Herefordshire, the son of Thomas Beale, a lawyer and farmer, and Joanna Pye; he was a nephew of Robert Pye and Walter Pye.[2][3] He was educated at the King's School, Worcester by Henry Bright, who is thought to have nurtured his early study of Erasmus,[2] and then at Eton College, before going to King's College, Cambridge in 1629. In his own account he had a photographic memory, and had early read in Melanchthon, Johannes Magirus and Zacharias Ursinus; he read philosophy to the King's students for two years. Thomas Birch identifies this period as the time when Ramism and Calvinism fell out of fashion there. He graduated B.A. in 1633, M.A. in 1636, and was Fellow from 1632 to 1640. He travelled on the continent in the late 1630s, and was rector of Sock Dennis, Somerset from 1638.[4]

Beale proposed an art of memory to Samuel Hartlib, in 1656.[5] Hartlib, writing to Robert Boyle in 1658, said of Beale: "There is not the like man in the whole island". He became rector of Yeovil, Somerset, in 1660.

In January, 1663 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.[6]

Works edit

His works are:

  • Aphorisms concerning Cider, printed in John Evelvn's Sylva 1664, and entitled in the later editions of that work, General Advertisements concerning Cider.
  • Herefordshire Orchards, a Pattern for all England, written in an Epistolary Address to Samuel Hartlib, Esq. By I. B., Lond. 1656; reprinted in Richard Bradley's New Improvements of Planting and Gardening, 1724 and 1739.
  • Papers in the Philosophical Transactions.
  • Letters to Robert Boyle, printed in the 5th volume of Boyle's works.
