Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TUM-VAN
TWINING, THOMAS (1735-1804) , English classical scholar, was born at
Twickenham
  on the 8th of January 17341735. The son of Daniel Twining, tea merchant of London, he was originally intended for a commercial life, but his distaste for it and his fondness for study decided his father to send him to the university. He entered Sidney Sussex College,
Cambridge
  (fellow, 176o), took orders, and after his
marriage
  in 1764 spent the
remainder
  of his life at
Fordham
  (Essex) and Colchester, where he died on the 6th of August 1804. His reputation as a classical scholar was established by his
translation
 , with notes, of Aristotle's Poetics (1789). Twining was also an accomplished musician, and assisted Charles
Burney
  in his History of Music.
Selections from his correspondence will be found in Recreations and Studies of a Country Clergyman of the Eighteenth Century (1882) and Selections from Papers of the Twining Family (1887); edited by his grand-nephew (Richard Twining) ; see also
Gentleman
 's Magazine, Ixxiv. 490, and J. E. Sandys, History of Classical Scholarship, vol. iii. (19o8).
