Biography:
JONES, John (fl 1799)
Besides a brief review in MR, there is no known contemporary reference to the author of Amatory Odes, Epistles, and Sonnets, the Productions of an Uneducated Youth (1799), the Preface of which is signed “John Jones.” As in many eighteenth-century amateur productions, the author in a preface pleads forbearance. MR’s critic acquiesced: “The modesty of this uneducated youth will not allow us totally to condemn this his first publication.” (MR 28 [1799], 352; HL 6:53) JC
