James Bramston (circa 1694 - 1744), satirist, educated at Westminster School
and Oxford, took orders and was latterly Vicar of Hastings. His poems are The Art of Politics (1729), in imitation of Horace, and The Man of Taste (1733), in imitation of Pope. He also parodied Phillips's Splendid Shilling in The Crooked Sixpence. His verses have some
liveliness.
