John Ozell

John Ozell (died 15 October 1743) was an English translator and accountant who became an adversary to Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope.

He moved to London from the country at around the age of twenty and entered an accounting firm, where he was successful in managing the accounts of several large entities, including the City of London itself. He was a Whig and probably a dissenter who associated with the prominent figures of the whig establishment in the 18th century. He was particularly associated with Joseph Addison and the "little senate" that met at Button's Coffee House in Covent Garden.

He was financially well off, due to his accounting work. He died on 15 October 1743, a lifelong bachelor. Provided by Wikipedia

    No I. of the Herculean labour or, the Augæan stable cleansed of its Heaps of Historical, Philological and Geographical Trumpery. Being serious and facetious remarks, by Mr. Ozell, on some thousands of Capital and Comical Mistakes, Oversights, Negligences, Ignorances, Omissions, Misconstructions, Mis-Nomers and other defects in the folio translation of the Roman History by the Rev. Mr. Bundy. A witty Foreigner, upon reading an untrue Translation of Caesar's Commentaries, said, "it was a Wicked Translation, for the Translator had not render'd unto Caesar the things which were Caesar's." With equal Truth, tho' less Wit, may it be said, the Translator of the Roman History has not paid the Reverend Authors their Dues; which in one of the same Cloth is the more unpardonable. At the end is subjoyn'd the first canto of Voltaire's Henriade, turn'd into English verse by Mr. Ozell, as a Specimen of the whole. To be continu'd, if encourag'd: The whole Price 2s. The Money to be return'd, by Mr. Ozell, to any Gentleman who after reading it, shall come (or send a Letter to him in Arundel-Street in the Strand) and declare upon Honour, he does not think the Book worth the Money

    Common-Prayer not common sense, in several places of the Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, French, Latin, and Greek translations of the English liturgy.
