Editor of the Courier. His poem Aura the Slave was published 1788 and the first volume of his History of the Reign of Lewis the Sixteenth, dedicated to Samuel Parr, in 1794. The other two projected volumes never appeared and according to Parr this was because he "after being a republican, became an apostate; and by defending the opinions he once opposed, he made a large fortune" (Allibone), though in 1796 J S Jordan published his letter to Edmund Burke defending the Duke of Bedford from Burke's criticisms. He voted for Tooke in 1796 at Cowley St Westminster and his address was 9 Crosby Row Walworth in 1798 (SunFire) which he used as a publication address for the Courier newspaper in 1799-1800, but his address was Scotland Yard from 1802 when he voted for Byng & Burdett in the Middlesex election (on a freehold house in Knightsbridge) and for Fox & Gardner in Westminster, and in 1806 he voted for Paull. By 1808 he also had an address in Kilburn and by 1815 his town house was 1 Adelphi Terrace.
