Equally revered and reviled, the radical John Horne Tooke
(1736-1812) enjoyed a well-deserved reputation as a political
firebrand. Having attended Eton and St John's College, Cambridge,
he explored careers in the church and law before finally gaining
recognition as a vehement advocate of political reform. This
acclaimed two-volume biography by Alexander Stephens (1757-1821)
was published in 1813, incorporating personal correspondence and
presenting its subject as 'a firm friend to the laws and liberties
of his native country'. Volume 2 covers the period 1777-1812 and
leads the reader through Horne's two periods of imprisonment, two
parliamentary election campaigns, the rise of the Society for
Constitutional Information and the publication of his final
pamphlet, A Warning to the Electors of Westminster (1807). This
volume concludes with an account of his final years of ill health,
his death and his political legacy.
