Dashwood. RLA. Whitehead, Paul (DNB00) WHITEHEAD, PAUL (1710–1774), satirist, was born on 6 Feb. 1710 in Castle Yard, Holborn, where his father was a pro- sperous tailor.
After attending a school at Hitchin he was apprenticed to a mercer in the city, but, showing little disposition for business, took chambers in the Temple as a law student. He was, however, obliged, apparently for a series of years, to transfer his residence to the neighbouring Fleet prison, having backed a bill which the theatrical manager Charles Fleetwood had failed to meet.

Epistle to Dr Thompson Whitehead wrote of the view from the back of Colne Lodge, in his Epistle to Dr Thompson: Here Campbell's varied shades with wonder see Like Heav'n's own Eden, stor'd with every tree; Each plant with plant in verdant glory vies; High tow'ring pines, like Titans scale the skies; And Lebanon's rich groves on Hounslow's desert rise.
