His father was a schoolmaster.[2][1] After time spent as a teacher in schools in London, Cockin was in 1764 appointed writing-master and accountant to Lancaster Grammar School, a post he held for twenty years. He was then for eight years at John Blanchard's Nottingham Academy.[2] Cockin retired to Kendal. He was a friend of George Romney the painter, and he died at Romney's house in Kendal, on 30 May 1801, aged 65. He was buried at Burton-in-Kendal.[2] AssociationsAmong Cockin's friends was the Rev. Thomas Wilson of Clitheroe, and Peter Romney, brother of George, was a correspondent in the later 1760s.[2][3] Other associates were John Dawson, and Rev. John James D.D., of Arthuret.[1] WorksCockin's works included:[2]
Cockin contributed to the Philosophical Transactions a paper An Account of an Extraordinary Appearance in a Mist near Lancaster.[4] ElocutionistIn 1775 Cockin published The Art of Delivering Written Language; or, An Essay on Reading, dedicated to David Garrick, a work on elocution.[1] In this book Cockin is representative of the 18th-century elocutionary movement, and within elocutionist he is assigned to the "natural school".[5][6] His comment on the prescriptive approach of Thomas Sheridan, a leader of the movement, was that works of elocution might be as much about perceptions of ways of talking as speaking.[7] Cockin noted in particular the connection between modulation in speech and silent reading.[8] He pointed out that in both speech and singing, pauses are used to frame and for emphasis.[9] He took comical mimicry to be a low form, in terms of artistic prestige. His exposition on the topic is now a standard authority for this attitude to imitation and mimesis.[10] Guide booksThomas West's Guide to the Lakes, on the English Lake District, first appeared in 1778, and Cockin assisted in its compilation.[2] He edited, anonymously, the second edition in 1780, West having died in 1779, including a preface that discussed the sources used: John Brown's Letter on Keswick, Thomas Gray, Thomas Pennant and Arthur Young.[11] This expanded work and a later edition influenced William Wordsworth's 1810 guide.[1] They contained the Letter on Keswick and Gray's Journal of the Lakes as appendices.[12] Other additions included an engraving of Grasmere, after John Feary;[13] Cockin was also responsible for footnotes, and tables of heights of the mountains.[14]Notes1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite ODNB|id=5786|first=David A.|last=Cross|title=Cockin, William}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite DNB|wstitle=Cockin, William|volume=11}} 3. ^Heather Birchall, Henry Pickering fl 1740-70: An 18th-century portrait painter, The British Art Journal Vol. 4, No. 1 (Spring 2003), pp. 88–91, at p. 91.
