Walpole, Horace, 1717-1797
Dr. John Allen (1771-1843) was a political and historical writer. In 1791 he graduated with an MD from the University of Edinburgh. In 1801, in his capacity as a doctor, he accompanied Lord Holland to Spain, and on his return to England became a regular inmate of Holland House. Although he served in 1806 as under-secretary to the commissioners for treating with America, Allen is best known for his social life at Holland House, especially as documented in his diary. He also helped Lord Holland to research the materials for his speeches; contributed 35 articles to the Edinburgh Review, especially on Spanish subjects; and an Inquiry into the Rise and Growth of the Royal Prerogative in England (1830). Allen was appointed warden of Dulwich College from 1811 to 1820, and master from that year until his death. He was also auditor of the duchy of Lancaster from 1841 until his death.
