LANG'HORNE (John), a poet and ingenious writer,, 
was born in 1735, at Kirkby Stephen, in Weftmoreland. 
His father, a clergyman who held a living in Lincoln- 
fit ire, died when he was young; and the care of his edu¬ 
cation, with that of three other children, devolved upon 
his mother, who fulfilled the talk with great aftiduity and 
affection. He received the principal part of his fchool- 
learning at Appleby, till the age of eighteen ; when, the 
narrownefs of his circumftances not permitting him to 
enjoy the benefit of academical inftruftion, he engaged

public. He foon after became an afiiftant at the free- 
fchool of Wakefield,* and, taking deacon’s orders, acquired 
opularity as a preacher. In 1759 undertook the of-

king’s acceflion, printed in the univerfity-colleftion of 
verfes on that occafion, and alfo a poem on the royal 
nuptials. 
The family of Hackthorn confided, befides the Tons, of
