[Written, as Mr. Ireland kindly pointed out to me, by John Gorton, author of "A General Biographical Dictionary," 1828.

H. with editing the Monthly Reporter, and Charles Knight's Encyclopædia says that he wrote for the London Magazine. It has been also stated that he edited Fairfax's translation of "Jerusalem Delivered." The report probably arose from the two facts that the Rev. J. H. Hunt (fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge) published a translation of Tasso in 1818, and that Leigh Hunt wrote a paper called "Hoole's and Fairfax's Tasso," in the Indicator, March 29th, 1820. LIST OF PORTRAITS.1 ["He was rather tall, as straight as an arrow, and looked slenderer than he really was. His hair was black and shining, and slightly inclined to wave; his head was high, his forehead straight and white, his eyes black and sparkling, his general complexion dark. There was in his whole carriage and manner an extraordinary degree of life."-THORNTON HUNT, Introduction to Autobiography, 1860. "Dark complexion (a trace of the African, I believe), copious clean strong black hair, beautifully-shaped head, fine beaming serious hazel eyes; seriousness and intellect the main expression of the face (to our surprise at first); he would lean on his elbow against the mantelpiece (fine, clean, elastic figure too he had, five feet ten or more), and look round him nearly in silence, before taking leave for the night, 'as if I were a Lar,' said he once, 'or permanent household god here!' (such his polite aerial way)."— THOMAS CARLYLE, Reminiscences.] 1. BOWYER, miniature painter to the King. length. Full face. Aged 17 (1801). An engraving by Parker in Juvenilia, 1802, and subsequent editions, by G. H. Ford in Autobiography, vol. i., 1850. [Rather conventional.-ED.] 1 Except when otherwise indicated, the opinions expressed about these portraits have been derived from Mr. Walter Leigh Hunt. They have been arranged chronologically, as far as the dates are known. |
