CAMBRIDGE, RICHARD OWEN (1717-1802), English poet, was born in London on
the 14th of February 1717. He was educated at Eton and at St John's
College, Oxford. Leaving the university without taking a degree, he took
up residence at Lincoln's Inn in 1737. Four years later he married, and
went to live at his country seat of Whitminster, Gloucestershire. In
1751 he removed to Twickenham, where he enjoyed the society of many
notable persons. Horace Walpole in his letters makes many jesting
allusions to Cambridge in the character of newsmonger. He died at
Twickenham on the 17th of September 1802. His chief work is the
_Scribleriad_ (1751), a mock epic poem, the hero of which is the
Martinus Scriblerus of Pope, Arbuthnot and Swift. The poem is preceded
by a dissertation on the mock heroic, in which he avows Cervantes as his
master. The satire shows considerable learning, and was eagerly read by
literary people; but it never became popular, and the allusions, always
obscure, have little interest for the present-day reader. He made a
valuable contribution to history in his _Account of the War in
India...on the Coast of Coromandel from the year 1750 to 1760..._
(1761). He had intended to write a history of the rise and progress of
British power in India, but this enterprise went no further than the
work just named, as he found that Robert Orme, who had promised him the
use of his papers, contemplated the execution of a similar plan.

_The Works of Richard Owen Cambridge, Esq., including several Pieces
never before published, with an Account of his Life and Character by
his Son, George Owen Cambridge_ (1803), includes, besides the
_Scribleriad_, some narrative and satirical poems, and about twenty
papers originally published in Edward Moore's paper called _The
World_. His poems are included in A. Chalmers's _English Poets_
(1816).
