Thomas Hervey (politician)

The Honourable Thomas Hervey (1699–1775), MP by John Fayram (active 1713–1743)

Thomas Hervey (20 January 1699 – 1775), of Bond Street, London, was an English pamphleteer and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1733 to 1747. He became embroiled with the wife of a neighbour who left her husband, and the ensuing dispute brought him to the brink of madness. He was noted for his eccentric open letters.
