Autorenporträt
Joseph Cradock (1741/2 - 1826) was born in Leicester. He was educated in Leicester Grammar School and later at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, although he left for London without taking the examination for his degree. After marrying, however, the Duke of Newcastle, Chancellor of Cambridge, granted him his MA. In 1766 and 1781 he was High Sheriff of Leicester, and in 1768 he was elected Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London. He amassed a fine library and his musical skill procured him a welcome at Lord Sandwich's seat at Hinchinbrooke. He also wrote a number of books, including a tragedy, called Zobaide, which was performed in Covent Garden; it enjoyed success and earned him praise from Voltaire. Besides North Wales, he travelled through France and the Netherlands. His Literary and Miscellaneous Memoirs, published in 1826, includes an account of his travels.
