George Colman the Younger (1762–1836)
Colman, George, the Younger. An English dramatist and humorous poet; born in London, Oct. 21, 1762; died there, Oct. 17, 1836. ‘The Iron Chest,’ ‘John Bull’ (for which he received an unprecedently large sum), and ‘The Heir-at-Law,’ are most widely known among his racy and rather noisy but most laughable comedies. ‘Broad Grins’ and ‘Poetic Vagaries’ are very amusing rhymes.
