An English writer, journalist, and dramatist; born in London about 1765; died in Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. 23, 1818. Because of his scurrilous political writings he was declared in 1797 to be "a common libeler", and soon after came to the United States. He was connected with the press, wrote several plays, also a volume of poems (1789); "Legislative Biography" (1795); "Life of Alexander Hamilton" (1804); and the "Dramatic Censor" (1811).
