Hall, Cambridge, as a See also:sizar, and became a See also:fellow in 1742. At Cambridge Whitehead published an See also:epistle " On the Danger of See also:writing See also:Verse "1 and some other poems, notably an heroic epistle, See also:Ann See also:Boleyn to Henry the Eighth (1743), and a didactic See also:Essay an Ridicule (1743). In 1745 he became See also:tutor to See also:Viscount See also:Villiers, son of the See also:earl of See also:Jersey, and took up his See also:residence in See also:London. He produced two tragedies: The See also:Roman Father (See also:Drury See also:Lane, 24th of February 1750), and Creusa, See also:Queen of See also:Athens (Drury Lane, loth of See also:April 1754).
