Edward Clarke (1730–1786) was an English cleric and author.
==Life==
The son of William Clarke the antiquary (1696–1771), and Anne, daughter of Dr. William Wotton, he was born at Buxted, Sussex, where his father was rector, on 16 March 1730. He was taught by his father's curate, Mr. Grierson, and later by Jeremiah Markland, then living at Uckfield; and he attended Winchester College. He entered St John's College, Cambridge, took his B.A. degree in 1752, was elected as a Fellow in 1753, and proceeded M.A. in 1755. In 1758 Viscount Midleton presented him to the rectory of Peperharow, Surrey.
In 1760 Clarke went with the Earl of Bristol as chaplain to the embassy at Madrid. In 1763 he accompanied James Johnston, the Lieutenant-Governor, to Minorca as chaplain and secretary, and held the same post under succeeding governors. In 1768 he returned to England, and was inducted to the vicarage of Willingdon and Arlington, Sussex. He also succeeded to the rectory of Buxted, his father being allowed to resign in his favour; he gave up the Peperharow living. His health was poor, and he settled down to a literary life, undertaking the education of Thomas Steele, and his brother Robert.〔
Clarke died, after gradual decay and paralysis, in November 1786.〔
