Excerpt: Sir Brooke Boothby, 6th Baronet was an English linguist, translator, minor poet and landowner in Derbyshire. He was part of the intellectual and literary circle of Lichfield which included Anna Seward and Erasmus Darwin. He welcomed Jean-Jacques Rousseau to Ashbourne circles in 1766 when the philosopher fled London after a short stay there where hospitality was provided by Hume. Boothby visited Rousseau in Paris in 1776 and was given the manuscript of the first part of Rousseau's three part Confessions which was his autobiography. Boothby translated the manuscript and published in Lichfield in 1780 after the author's death and donated the document to the British Library in 1781. Boothby's unusual portrait by Joseph Wright of Derby from 1781, one of the favourites of English 18th. century painting, shows him reclining in a wooded glade with a book carrying on its cover simply the name Rousseau, indicating his interest in the writer and his work generally rather than it referring to one of Rousseau's works in particular. The portrait is a metaphor for Boothby's admiration of Rousseau and his efforts to promote him with the English intelligentsia. His daughter was painted by Henry Fuseli and Joshua Reynolds and sculpted by Thomas Banks, as well as being the subject of a book of poetry by her grieving father. Boothby was born in 1744. He inherited his unusual forename from Hill Brooke, the second wife of the fourth Boothby Baronet of Broadlow Ash, William Boothby. Brooke Boothby is sometimes referred to as the seventh baronet as there was some confusion over the appointment of the first baronet. Sir Brooke Boothby, 1781 by Joseph Wright of Derby.
