Martin Clifford
Martin Clifford (died 1677) was an English writer and wit, who became headmaster of Charterhouse School.
==Life==
He was educated at Westminster School, and in 1640 went to Trinity College, Cambridge, taking his bachelor's degree three years later (Cole MS. xlv. f. 265). After the Restoration of 1660 he was a man about town, with support from nobleman and courtiers. He was employed by George Villiers, 2nd Duke of Buckingham, along with Samuel Butler and Thomas Sprat, in producing ''The Rehearsal''.
Clifford further attacked John Dryden, butt of ''The Rehearsal'', in a series of letters; an edition was issued long after the author's death. 〔Title ''Notes upon Mr. Dryden's Poems in Four Letters, by M. Clifford, late master of the Charterhouse, London; to which are annexed some Reflections upon the Hind and Panther, by another hand'' (Thomas Brown), London, 1687.〕 Dryden made no reply.
In 1671 Clifford was elected master of the Charterhouse, a post which he presumably owed to the influence of Buckingham. He died on 10 December 1677, and was buried on the 13th in the chancel of St. Margaret's, Westminster.
