born in Northumberland 1715, and educated at Cambridge, was made rector of Great Horkeseley, Essex, 1715, and vicar of St. Nicholas, Newcastle, 1758. He committed suicide, in a fit of insanity, 1766. He was an ingenious writer, of more talent than learning. He wrote An Estimate of the Manners and Principles of the Times (Lond. 1757-58, 2 vols. 8vo), which was very popular; Sermons on Various Subjects (Lond. 1764, 8vo); Essays on Shaftesbury's Characteristics (Lond. 1784, 5th ed.); and other minor works.
