The best known of his romances the "Monk", first published in 1794; a worker charged with horrors & libertinism of spirit. He was nevertheless, a kind & charitable man as was evidenced by his treatment of the slaves upon the Jamaica estate he inherited from his father. He was a fluent versifier & his "Alonzo the Brave" & "Bill Jones" are still found to contain interest. In 1818 he produced a drama entitled "Timour the Tartar" & subsequently a work called "Residence in the West Indies" since reprinted in Murray's Home & Colonial Library. Born in London, 1775.
