an English infidel, born in 1710, was both a printer and a type-founder by trade. In 1733 he published a discourse to prove the plurality of worlds. He maintained that earth is a hell, and that the souls of men are fallen angels. Before and after this publication he lectured publicly on the same topic. In the same year, 1733, he published another work, entitled A Dialogue between a Doctor of the Church of England and Mr. Jacob Ilive upon the subject of the Oration. In 1751 he published what claimed to be a translation of The Book of Jasher, which he attributed to a certain Alcuin of Brittany, although he was himself the real author (see Horne's Bibl. Bib.). Another pamphlet, entitled Modest Remarks on Bishop Sherlock's Sermons, caused him to be condemned to two years' imprisonment. During his forced residence at Clerkenwell Bridewell, he wrote Reasons offered for the Reformation of the House of Correction in Clerkenwell. Ilive however, did some real service to Biblical statistics in publishing a second edition of Calasio, Concordantice Sacrorum Bibliorum (Lond. 1747,4 vols. fol.). See Gough, Brit. Topography; Wilson, Hist. of Dissenting Churches; Chalmers, Genesis Biog. Dict.; Hoefer, Nouv. Bior. Generale, 25:814; Darling, Cyclop. Bibliog. 2, 1605. (J. N. P.)
