House
  of Lords and clerk of the private committees. His first
work
 , A Naval History of the

  War, was undertaken at his father's wish, but he only completed one volume. He produced a free version of the Amadis de Gaul from the French text of Herberay des Essarts in 1803, followed by a translation of the Partenopex de Blois (1807) after Le Grand d'Aussy. With Partenopex he printed his ballad of " The Red King," and in 18 to appeared The Crusade of King Louis and King Edward the

He had already written an abridged version of Berni's rifacimento of the Orlando Inamorato of Boiardo, and had begun his Orlando Furioso translated into English Verse which appeared in two parts in 1823 and 1831.
