Jonathan Edwards born. He was the most notable American philosopher, naturalist, theologian and preacher of his century.
Bernhard Bolzano was born in Prague. He is to be remembered for attempting to formulate a mathematics of infinity, perhaps the first person to do so. Scripture cries out for some such theory and it is to be observed that Bolzano was also a Roman Catholic theologian. His valiant but faulty attempt was corrected by later mathematicians, some of whom also recognized the theological implications of their work.
