John Hodgkin (tutor)

In 1787 he joined Thomas Young in superintending the education of Hudson Gurney, Barclay's grandson; the two were resident tutors, at Youngsbury and elsewhere.

[3] Hodgkin resided for some years at Pentonville, London, and then moved to Tottenham, where he died in August 1845.

[3] Hodgkin left a manuscript autobiography, covering his time in France in the aftermath of the French Revolution.

When Louis XVI took the oath to the constitution, Hodgkin, as a Quaker, had a conscientious objection to raising his hand; and his plain dress caused him to be taken for an abbé.

A translation by Young of King Lear's curse into Greek iambics, undertaken at the request of Edmund Burke, was also added.
