 HOARE, CLEMENT (1789–1849), vinegrower, was born in 1789. He cultivated a vineyard at Sidlesham, near Chichester, whence he removed, between 1835 and 1840, to 'Shirley vineyard,' near Southampton. He died at Vauxhall, Surrey, on 18 Aug. 1849, aged 60 (Gent. Mag. new ser. xxxii. 437). He was author of two valuable handbooks: 1. 'A Practical Treatise on the Cultivation of the Grape Vine on open walls,' 8vo, London, 1835; 2nd edition, 1837; 3rd edition, 1841. 2.

 HOARE, PRINCE (1755–1834), dramatic author and artist, born at Bath in 1755, was the son of William Hoare, R.A. [q. v.] He was educated at the Bath grammar school, and instructed in art by his father. In 1772 he gained a Society of Arts premium, and in that year came to London to study at the Royal Academy. In 1776 he visited Rome, and there studied under Mengs, together with Fuseli and Northcote. On returning to England in 1780 he painted for some time, exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1781 and 1782. His exhibited work included a classical picture called ‘Alceste,’ and a portrait of Sir T. Lawrence when a child. He ceased to exhibit after 1785. In 1788 he took a voyage for his health to Lisbon, whence he returned in June to London. During his absence his first play, a tragedy, ‘Such things were,’ was acted at Bath, 1 Jan. 1788, and afterwards (as ‘Julia, or Such things were’) at Drury Lane, 2 May 1796, for the benefit of Mrs. Siddons. His best known production, ‘No Song, No Supper’ (a farce, with music by Storace), was first acted at Drury Lane on 16 April 1790, and often subsequently. Other productions by Hoare are: ‘The Cave of Trophonius’ (musical farce), Drury Lane, 3 May 1791; ‘Dido’ (opera), Haymarket, 23 May 1792; ‘The Prize’ (musical farce), Haymarket, 11 March 1793, and often subsequently; ‘My Grandmother’ (musical farce), Haymarket, 16 Dec. 1793; ‘The Three and the Deuce’ (comic drama), Haymarket, 2 Sept. 1795; ‘Lock and Key’ (musical farce), Covent Garden, 2 Feb. 1796; ‘Mahmoud’ (opera), Drury Lane, 30 April 1796; ‘The Italian Villagers,’ Covent Garden, 25 April 1797 (for other plays see Gent. Mag. 1835, new ser. iii. 662; Brit. Mus. Cat.; and, Biogr. Dram., art. ‘Hoare,’ where twenty plays are enumerated).

In 1799 Hoare was appointed honorary foreign secretary to the Royal Academy. He was a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, and of the Royal Society of Literature, to which he bequeathed his library. He died at Brighton on 22 Dec. 1834. A portrait of him, by Northcote, is published in the ‘European Magazine,’ February 1798, p. 75; and one drawn by George Dance in 1798 was published in 1814 in Daniell's ‘Engravings of Dance's Portraits.’

Besides his plays, Hoare published: 1. ‘Extracts from a correspondence with the Academies of Vienna and St. Petersbourg,’ 1802. 2. ‘Academic Correspondence,’ 1804, 4to. 3. ‘Academic Annals of Painting,’ 1805, 4to. 1809 8vo. These three were published by Hoare in his capacity as secretary to the Royal Academy. 4. ‘An Inquiry into the … Art of Design in England,’ 1806. 5. ‘Epochs of the Arts’ (on painting and sculpture in Great Britain), London, 1813, 8vo. 6. ‘Memoirs of Granville Sharp,’ London, 1820, 4to. 7. ‘Love's Victims; a poem.’ Hoare edited ‘The Artist,’ 2 vols. 4to, 1809–10 (a collection of essays, some by Hoare).

 HOARE, RICHARD (1648–1718), lord mayor of London, born in 1648, probably in London, was grandson of Henry Hoare, a Buckinghamshire farmer, and only son of Henry and Cicely Hoare of the parish of St. Botolph's, Aldersgate. The father was a yeoman and ‘dealer of horses’ in Smithfield (, Pedigrees of Knights, p. 481). After serving an apprenticeship to Richard Moore (indentures dated 9 June 1665), Hoare was admitted to the freedom of the Goldsmiths' Company on 5 July 1672. He subsequently became an assistant and warden, and served the office of master in 1712. He set up in business as a goldsmith in or near Lombard Street, probably about 1672 (cf. and, Registers of St. Mary Woolnoth, 1886, p. 62). Thence he removed to Goldsmiths' Row, in the parish of St. Vedast, Foster Lane, before 6 May 1674 (cf. baptismal register of St. Vedast). Here he joined his cousin, James Hore, surveyor, warden, and comptroller of the mint, who carried on business as a goldsmith at the Golden Bottle at the western end of Cheapside. He was still living in the parish in August 1690 (ib.), but had removed to
