HAWKESWORTH, JOHN (c. English mis cellaneous writer, succeeded Samuel Johnson in 1744 as compiler of the parliamentary debates for the Gentleman's Magazine, and from 1746 to 1749 contributed poems signed Greville, or H. Gre ville, to that journal. In company with Johnson and others he started a periodical called The Adventurer, which ran to 14o num bers, of which 7o were from the pen of Hawkesworth himself. He died on Nov. 16, 17 73, and was buried at Bromley, Kent, where he and his wife had kept a school. Hawkesworth was a close imi tator of Johnson both in style and thought, and was at one time on very friendly terms with him. It is said that he presumed on his success, and lost Johnson's friendship as early as 1756. He edited the works of Swift (12 vols., 17 5, and 27 vols., 1766 79), and Cook's papers relative to his first voyage (3 vols., and was the author or adapter of several plays.
