Robert Montgomery (poet)
1807 – 1855
Robert Montgomery (1807–1855) was an English poet. In 1828 he published The Omni-presence of the Deity, which hit popular religious sentiment so exactly that it ran through eight editions in as many months. In 1830 he followed it with The Puffiad (a satire), and Satan, or Intellect without God. His name was immortalized by Macaulay's famous onslaught in the Edinburgh Review for April 1830.
