SAMUEL, an ingenious English divine, who in his youth wrote the celebrated poem entitled The Fair Circassian. He had the livings of Hampton in Middlesex, and the united parishes of St Mary Somerset, and St Mary Mounthaw, in London; both which he held till his death in 1751. He published many other poems and translations, with an entire English edition of AEsop's Fables.
