He was the eldest son of Brockhill Newburgh, chairman of the board of linen manufacturers, who owned estates and property at Ballyhaise, County Cavan. Amongst his works was a miscellaneous collection, Essays, Poetical, Moral, &c., 1769, sometimes appearing in bibliographic records as the work of his father. Newburgh attended Oxford University[dubious – discuss], but returned to Ireland when he inherited the family estate. Newburgh's poetry included descriptions of buildings and monuments, unusual for the period, such as the lines on a walk at St Stephen's Green.[1]
