Hervey, described in DNB as an ‘eccentric pamphleteer’, in 1737 eloped with Elizabeth, second wife of his godfather, Thomas Hanmer. When she died in 1741 he published the present “Letter to Sir Thomas Hanmer”, notorious as a thoroughly scurrilous piece of work full of indescreet accusations. The experience of publication proved infectious and for the rest of his life he continued to publish on the theme of injustices suffered, either at the hands of his family or the courts.
In Horace Walpole's opinion Hervey's pamphleteering style ‘beats everything for madness, horrid indecency, and folly, and yet has some charming and striking passages’.

“As to dress; for you, gentlemen, the red is not necessary; you are defending your country, and your moral feelings want no stimulus. To us, regular soldiers, fighting in foreign countries, oppressed by destroying heat and protracted campaigns, that pride in our red coat, which strikes terror into an enemy, is important. For you, the best dress would be your own shooting jackets and leathern gaiters. The danger that calls on England to arm, does not demand pretty dresses, but deeds of arms”.
