GLOVER, RICHARD (1712-1785) ,
English
  poet, son of Richard
Glover
 , a Hamburg merchant, was born in London in 1712. He was educated at Cheam in Surrey. While there he wrote in his sixteenth year a poem to the memory of Sir Isaac Newton, which was prefixed by Dr Pemberton to his View of Newton's Philosophy, published in 1728. In 1737 he published an epic poem in praise of liberty, Leonidas, which was thought to have a
special
  reference to the politics of the time; and being warmly commended by the prince of Wales and his
court
 , it soon passed through several editions. In 1739
Glover
  published a poem entitled London, or the Progress of Commerce; and in the same year, with a view to exciting the nation against the Spaniards, he wrote a spirited ballad, Hosier's
Ghost
 , very popular in its day. He was also the author of two tragedies, Boadicea (1753) and
Medea
  (1761), written in close imitation of Greek models. The success of Glover's Leonidas led him to take considerable
interest
  in politics, and in 1761 he entered
parliament
  as member for Weymouth. He died on the 25th of November 1785. The Athenaid, an epic in thirty books, was published in 1787, and his diary, entitled Memoirs of a distinguished literary and political
Character
  from 1742 to 1757, appeared in 1813. Glover was one of the reputed authors of Junius; but his claimswhich were advocated in an Inquiry concerning the author of the Letters of Junius (1815), by R. Dupparest on very slight grounds.
