BROOKE, Henry, an amiable and accomplished writer, born at Rantavan in Ireland, 1706. After studying at Trinity College, Dublin, at an early age he entered the Temple, and soon became the intimate friend of Pope and Swift. Encouraged by Lords Lyttleton and Chatham, he published a tragedy entitled Gustavus Vasa, which had a rapid sale, and amply recompensed the author. Mr Brooke was also the author of the Fool of Quality, Juliet Grenville, Universal Beauty, and other poems. The death of this estimable and benevolent man took place at Dublin, Oct. 10, 1785.
