Hawkesworth, John (1715–73), conducted, with assistance from Dr Johnson and Wharton, the Adventurer, a bi-weekly successor to the Rambler, 1752–4. He produced a reliable edition of Swift, with a biography, in 1754–5, and in 1766 an edition of Swift's letters. His Almoran and Hamet (1761) is an exotic Oriental tale concerning Almoran's ability to change into any shape to pursue his strange, and often supernatural, adventures. Hawkesworth edited and annotated various journals, including Cook's and Carteret's, for his Account of the Voyages…in the Southern Hemisphere (1773).
