This article appears in Volume V16, Page 863 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LOB-LUP
LOFFT, CAPEL (1751-1824) ,
English
  miscellaneous writer, was born in London on the 14th of November 1751. He was educated at
Eton
 , and Peterhouse,
Cambridge
 , which he left to become a member of Lincoln's Inn. He was called to the bar in 1775, and left by his father's and uncle's deaths with a hand-some property and the family estates. He was a prolific writer on a variety of topics, and a vigorous contentious
advocate
 
    See Also:
of parliamentary and other reforms, and carried on a voluminous correspondence with all the literary men of his time. He became the
patron
  of Robert Bloomfield, the author of The Farmer's Boy, and secured for him the very successful publication of that
work
 . Byron, in a
note
  to his
English
  Bards and
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
 , on the 26th of May 1824.
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. In his old age he abandoned these theories, which had brought him into the company of some of the leading political agitators of the day. He died in America, where he had a Virginia estate.
