Thomas Twining (scholar)
Thomas Twining (8 January 1735, Twickenham, London, England – 6 August 1804, Colchester) was an English classical scholar and cleric.
==Scholarship==
The son of Daniel Twining, tea merchant of London, he was originally intended for a commercial life, but his distaste for it and his fondness for study decided his father to send him to the university. He entered Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge in 1755, and became a fellow in 1760. He took orders and was married in 1764 to Elizabeth Smythies (1739-1796), daughter of Palmer Smythies, rector of St Michael's, Colchester, who had taught him at Colchester Free Grammar School. Twining spent the remainder of his life as incumbent of Fordham, Essex, and in plurality as vicar of White Notley (from 1772) and rector of St Mary's, Colchester (from 1788), where he lived from 1790 until his death on 6 August 1804.〔ODNB entry: (Retrieved 26 June 2011.

Twining's reputation as a classical scholar was established by his translation, with notes, of Aristotle's ''Poetics'' (1789).〔''The Journals and Letters of Fanny Burney (Madame D'Arblay)''. Vol. III, 1793-1797, Ed. Joyce Hemlow with Patricia Boutilier and Althea Douglas (Oxford: OUP, 1973), p. 37 n.〕 His epitaph was composed by a lifelong friend and fellow scholar, Samuel Parr, and another such friend, the musicologist Charles Burney, composed an obituary.〔ODNB entry for Twining.〕
