Richard Glover, An Apology for the Life of Mr. Colley Cibber
•
Samuel Henley (died 1815) English clergyman, school teacher, college principal, antiquarian, writer and poet
His major writings are the treatises Von dem Wunderbaren in der Poesie (1740; this and following years link to corresponding "year in poetry" articles) and Kritische Betrachtungen über die poetischen Gemählde der Dichter (1741), in which he pleaded for the freedom of the imagination from the restriction imposed upon it by French pseudo-classicism.
