Langhorne, John, D.D. was born at Kirkby Stephen in Westmoreland. His father was the reverend John Langhorne of Winton, who died when his son was young. After entering into holy orders, he became tutor to the sons of Mr Crocker, a Lincolnshire gentleman, whose daughter he married. The lady in a short time died: and the loss of her was very pathetically lamented by her husband in a monody; and by another gentleman, Mr Cartwright, in a poem entitled "Constantia." Dr Langhorne held the living of Blagden in Somersetshire at the time of his death, which happened April 1, 1779. He was the author of several literary productions; amongst others, of Poems in two vols, 1766; Sermons in 2 vols, 1773; Effusions of Fancy, 2 vols; Theodofius and Constantia, 2 vols; Solyma and Almena; Frederic and Pharamond, or the Consolations of Human Life, 1769; a Dissertation on the Eloquence of the Pulpit, and another on Religious Retirement: and he was editor of the works of St Evremond, of the Poems of Collins, and some other articles.
