Gally (1696 - 1769) made a name for himself as a reformer with his publication of Some Considerations upon Clandestine Marriages. This rather more recondite work nevertheless attracted some scholarly attention and replies, with a second edition being published in 1768 in reply to John Foster's Essay on the Different Nature of Accent and Quality. David Ruhnkenius (1723 - 1798) was professor of history and eloquence at the University of Leiden. as well as lecturer in Greek. His two works are also on Greek philology and accents.
