Title:
Mr. Serjeant Glyn, John Wilkes Esqr., The Revd Mr. John Horne
Description:
“John Wilkes, in the center, is shown with two political allies, Serjeant Glyn and John Horne, in a Richard Houston portrait.
Horne was a radical clergyman, the last Anglican clergyman to sit in Parliament. Wilkes failed to support a fellow-traveller, a Mr. Bigley who had formerly printed Wilkes’ attacks on the courts. Horne then fell out with Wilkes.
Glyn was a political manager for Wilkes and helped Wilkes in his battles with Parliament.”
