an English lawyer and miscellaneous writer. Baynes contributed political articles to the London Courant. He wrote (anonymously) political verses and translations from French and Greek poems; some of these were published in the European Magazine (xii. 240). He is mentioned by Andrew Kippis as supplying materials for the Biographia Britannica. The archæological epistle to Jeremiah Milles, on the Rowley poems is generally ascribed to Baynes, because it passed through his hands to the press; but he denied the authorship.
