Nicholas Amhurst was born at Marden, Kent, according to an entry on Penny's Poetry Pages about him. Educated at the Merchant Taylors' School, having matriculated in 1716 to St John's College, Oxford, he was expelled there three years later for, he argued, his Whig principles as expressed in his quite popular writings. Known as a satirist of Oxford morals, he became something of a gadfly to many authorities. Moving from Oxford (post-expulsion) to London, he commenced his career in literature.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Good
