Born at Rotterdam on 26 April 1747, he was the son of an English merchant living in Holland; Francis Twiss the writer was his younger brother. With an ample fortune, he travelled, and visited Scotland. He then journeyed through Holland, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and Bohemia till 1770, when he returned to England. In 1772 he went to Spain and Portugal, returning the following year. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1774; but left it in 1794. In 1775 he visited Ireland.[1] Subsequently, Twiss concentrated on literature and the fine arts. A project to manufacture paper lost him money. He revisited France during the French Revolution, and wrote on his experiences.[1] Twiss died in Somers Town, London 5 March 1821.
