Courtney Melmoth] (1749-1814), writer & actor, his voluminous works, well catalogued in the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature, assume many forms. Some works are tributes, such as The Tears of Genius, on the Death of Dr Goldsmith (1774); 'Garrick's Looking-Glass' (1776); An Apology for the Life and Writings of Hume (1777); and The Shadowe of Shakespeare (1780?). His plays include Joseph Andrews (1778), a two-act farce; The Fair Circassians (1781); and The School for Vanity (1783). One novel, entitled Emma Corbett, or, The Miseries of Civil War, appeared anonymously in 1780, was translated into French in 1783, and ran into many editions. Among his efforts at landscape poetry are Landscapes in Verse, Taken in Spring (1785), Gleanings through Wales, Holland, and Westphalia (1795-9); and Gleanings in England (1801).
