Robert Cruttenden
Robert Cruttenden (1690-1763), was a London merchant, Methodist and hymn-writer.
==Early life==
Robert Cruttenden was the son of Joseph Cruttenden (c.1658-after 1731), a wholesale apothecary in London.〔Ian Steele (ed.), ''An Atlantic merchant-apothecary'': ''the letters of Joseph Cruttenden'', 1710-17 (Toronto, 1977).〕 He was educated to follow his uncle Rev Robert Bragge (1665-1738) into the Dissenting ministry, but decided he was unsuited because of his Arianism. Instead, in 1717 Cruttenden became a bookseller and broker, setting up shop near the Mercers' Chapel in Cheapside, London, before making and losing a fortune in the South Sea Bubble speculation. He went bankrupt in 1721,〔''London Gazette'', 27 June 1721, p.2.〕 and moved to Finsbury. He was a friend of Philip Doddridge of Northampton, with whom he exchanged visits.〔Jonathan Barry, ''Raising spirits'' (London, 2013), p.63.〕
Cruttenden wrote some poems, published after his death, translated a French version of Pindar's ''Ode to Prosperina'' (London, 1738), and wrote ''The principles and preaching of the Methodists considered'' (London, 1753).〔attribution in Samuel Halkett & John Laing, ''Dictionary of anonymous and pseudonymous English literature'' (6 vols. London 1926-32), IV, p.429.〕
