Personal data
Ralph Cooper

A gentleman of the Chapel Royal, according to Boswell. The Chapel Royal is the official chapel of the monarch of the United Kingdom since the 12th or 13the century. He was apparently a member of the choir at St. Paul's.

Boswell had seen him at Lord Eglinton's and met and had tee with him a few times in the summer of 1763.

    Unless otherwise noted, the source for a dated quotation of Boswell's is generally the corresponding volume of the Yale Trade Editions of Boswell's journals.
