  John Hookham Frere biography .ms   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
His father, John Frere, a gentleman of a good Suffolk family, had been educated at Caius College, Cambridge, and would have been senior wrangler in 1763 but for the redoubtable competition of William Paley; his mother, daughter of John Hookham, a rich London merchant, was cultured and wrote verse in private.
After the disastrous retreat to A Coruña, the public accused Frere of having endangered the British army, and though no direct censure was passed upon his conduct by the government, he was recalled, and the marquess of Wellesley was appointed in his place.
Frere's complete works were published in 1871, with a memoir by his nephews, WE and Sir Henry Bartle Frere, and reached a second edition in 1874.

 SIR HENRY BARTLE EDWARD FRERE - LoveToKnow Article on SIR HENRY BARTLE EDWARD FRERE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
British administrator, born at Clydach in Brecknockshire, on the 29th of March 1815, was the son of Edward Frere, a member of an old east county family, and a nephew of John Hookham Frere, of Anti-Jacobin and Aristophanes fame.
Frere wrote an elaborate justification of his conduct, which was adversely commented on by the colonial secretary (Sir Michael Hicks Beach), who did not see why Frere should take notice of attacks; and as to the war, all African wars had been unpopular.
Upon his return Frere replied to the charges relating to his conduct respecting Afghanistan as well as South Africa, previously preferred in Gladstones Midlothian speeches, and was preparing a fuller vindication when he died at \Vimbledon from the effect of a severe chill on the 29th of May 1884.

 JOHN HOOKHAM FRERE - LoveToKnow Article on JOHN HOOKHAM FRERE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
His father, John Frere,a gentleman of agood Suffolk family, had been educated at Caius College, Cambridge, and would have been senior wrangler in 1763 but for the redoubtable competition of Paley; his mother, daughter of John Hookham, a rich London merchant, was a lady of no small culture, accustomed to amuse her leisure with verse-writing.
Frere was strongly of opinion that the bolder was the better course, and he urged his views on Sir John Moore with an urgent and fearless persistency that on one occasion at least overstepped the limits of his commission.
After the disastrous retreat to Corunna, the public accused Frere of having by his advice endangered the British army, and though no direct censure was passed upon his conduct by the government, he was recalled, and the marquess of Wellesley was appointed in his place.

Frere was a diplomat, a satirist, and one of the principal contributors to The Anti-jacobin.
The first two cantos, published in 1817, were sent to Byron, who was arrested by the verse-form, which Frere had derived from Italian sources.
Frere was a brilliant and humorous writer, whose level, allusive, conversational and throwaway lines helped provide Byron with a tone and method, as well as a form, for his great poem.

He also made some masterly translations from Aristophanes; but his chief original contribution to literature was a burlesque poem on Arthur and the Round Table, purporting to be by William and Robert Whistlecraft.
All Frere’s writings are characterised no less by scholarship than by wit.
The connection with Newman was, however, short-lived; and the publication in 1848 of The Nemesis of Faith showed that in the severe mental and spiritual conflict through which he had passed, the writer had not only escaped from all Tractarian influences, but was in revolt against many of the fundamental doctrines of Christianity.
