[opposed in the Senate, but finally carried; see St John's Coll. Adm.

(Salisbury) Nov. 23, 1760. P.C. of St Lawrence, New Brentford, 1760-73. Took
up the cause of John Wilkes, supporting him in the famous Parliamentary

Constitutional Society, 1771. Became unpopular and burnt in effigy by the mob,
1771. Resigned his benefice and returned to law studies, 1773. Fined and
imprisoned for libel in connection with an appeal to raise a subscription for
widows and orphans of American colonists, 1778. Refused admission to the Bar.
Inheriting some money, lived in London, giving famous suppers and engaging in
political discussions. Assumed the additional name of Tooke, as heir to his
friend Mr William Tooke, 1782. A supporter of Parliamentary reform;
unsuccessfully contested Westminster in 1790, and again, 1796. Arrested on a
charge of high treason, and committed to the Tower (for his diary while in

Succeeding to the estate of Mr William Tooke, at Purley, Surrey, took up his
residence there, 1803, and received much society, including Thurlow, Erskine,
Bentham, Coleridge and Godwin. A complex personality, who rendered
unquestionable service to the cause of public justice and popular rights. His
undoubted consistency mainly responsible for his unpopularity with
time-serving politicians. Author, The Diversions of Purley, a
philological work of merit and value, and of other books, chiefly political.
Died Mar. 18, 1812, at Wimbledon. Buried at Ealing. (Eton Coll. Reg.; St
