WILLIAM (1741–1823) , See also:English writer, the creator of " Dr Syntax," was See also:born at See also:Bristol in 1741. The circumstances of his See also:birth and parentage are somewhat doubtful, and it is questioned whether his See also:father was a See also:rich Bristol See also:merchant, or a certain William See also:Alexander, a See also:London See also:alderman, who died in 1762. He was educated at See also:Eton, where he was contemporary with See also:Charles See also:- JAMES

James See also:Fox, the 2nd See also:Baron See also:Lyttelton and William See also:Beckford. Alexander bequeathed him some £2000—a little See also:fortune that soon disappeared in a course of splendid extravagance, which gained him the See also:nickname of See also:Count Combe; and after a chequered career as private soldier, See also:cook and waiter, he finally settled in London (about 1771), as a See also:law student and bookseller's hack. In 1776 he made his first success in London with The Diaboliad, a See also:satire full of See also:bitter personalities. Four years afterwards (178o) his debts brought him into the See also:- KING

King's See also:Bench; and much of his subsequent See also:life was spent in See also:prison. His See also:spurious Letters of the See also:Late See also:Lord Lyttelton' (178o) imposed on many of his contemporaries, and a writer in the Quarterly See also:Review, so late as 1851, regarded these letters as See also:authentic, basing upon them a claim that Lyttelton was " See also:Junius."

Periodical literature of all sorts—pamphlets, satires, burlesques, " two thousand columns for the papers," " two See also:hundred See also:biographies "—filled up the next years, and about 1789 Combe was receiving £200 yearly from See also:Pitt, as a pamphleteer. Six volumes of a See also:Devil on Two Sticks in See also:England won for him the See also:title of " the English le See also:Sage "; in 1794–1796 he wrote the See also:text for See also:Boydell's See also:History of the See also:River See also:Thames; in 1803 he began to write for The Times. In 1809–1811 he wrote for See also:Ackermann's See also:Political See also:Magazine the famous Tour of Dr Syntax in See also:search of the Picturesque (descriptive and moralizing See also:verse of a somewhat doggerel type), which, owing greatly to See also:- THOMAS
