He was apprenticed to a staymaker, and in 176o went to See also:London. Here he worked at his See also:trade for some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

In 1767 he published See also:Memoirs of a Magdalen, or the See also:History of Louisa Mildmay (2 vols.), a novel which obtained considerable success. In 1766 he published anonymously See also:Thespis; or, A See also:Critical Examination into the Merits of All the See also:Principal Performers belonging to See also:Drury See also:Lane See also:Theatre, a poem in the heroic See also:couplet containing violent attacks on the principal contemporary actors and actresses- The poem opens with a See also:panegyric on See also:David See also:Garrick, however, and bestows foolish praise on See also:friends of the writer. This See also:satire was partly inspired by See also:Churchill's Rosciad, but its See also:criticism is obviouslydictated chiefly by See also:personal See also:prejudice. In 1767 he produced a second See also:part, less scurrilous in See also:tone, dealing with the Covent See also:Garden actors.
