Cory, Isaac Preston (1802-1842). English miscellaneous writer. Fellow of Caius College, Cambridge; B.A., 1824; M.A., 1827. Died at Blundestone, Suffolk, April 1, 1842. Author of the rare work: *Ancient Fragments of the Phoenician, Chaldean, Egyptian, Tyrian, Carthaginian, Indian, Persian, and Other Writers. With an Introductory Dissertation. London: William Pickering, 1828. 8vo.; 2nd enl. ed., ibid., 1832. lix, 361 pp. Greek, Latin and English texts. To this work is added his “Inquiry into the Method, Objects, and Result of Ancient and Modern Philosophy, and into the Trinity of the Gentiles.” The 3rd ed., edited by E. Richmond Hodges (London: Reeves and Turner, 1876), is much less valuable as it lacks the “Chaldean Oracles” and the “Inquiry.” Cory published also a Chronological Inquiry into the Ancient History of Egypt, 1837, and a Practical Treatise on Accounts, etc., 1839.
