From Wikipedia:

John Scott (January 9, 1730 – December 12, 1783), known as Scott of Amwell, was a wealthy Quaker who lived at Amwell in Hertfordshire, England. He is now remembered mainly for his pastoral verse – his Poetical Works were published in 1782 – and his friendship with Samuel Johnson. He was also one of William Blake's patrons.

In his time he was celebrated for the grotto he built at Amwell. He was actively involved in the politics of his day. He was a friend also of John Hoole, another of Johnson's circle and a translator and dramatist, who was his first biographer.
