Scotch Reviewers, ridiculed Lofft as " the Maecenas of shoe-makers and preface -writer general to distressed versemen; a kind of gratis accoucheur to those who wish to be delivered of rhyme, but do not know how to bring forth." He died at Montcalieri, near Turin
His fourth son Capel Lofft, the younger (18o6-1873), also a writer on various topics, inherited his father's liberal ideas and principles, and carried them in youth to greater extremes.
