Book Description
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of William Broome: With the Life of the Author William Broome, the author of the following Poems, was born in Cheshire, but of the time and place of his birth, or the incidents of the early part of his life, no authentic intelligence can be obtained, - further than that he was educated upon the foundation at Eaton, and sent by his friends from thence to St. John's College, Oxford; where, by their assistance, he was maintained till he entered into orders. He had acquired at College the reputation of being an excellent Greek scholar, and discovered such a propensity for versifying, that his intimate acquaintance familiarly called him the Poet; but he evinced very little knowledge of men and manners, till by entering into social life, he shook off the rust of the schools. The first work of importance which he undertook, was a prose translation of Horner's Iliad, in conjunction with Ozell and Oldisworth, but what part of the version was allotted to him, or what benefit accrued from the joint labours of the translators is not known, though, in the opinion of Toland, a literary character of eminence in that day, it was held superior to the production of Pope.
