As an apprentice he began sending contributions to periodicals. But he did not like the work and once out of his indentures he joined the EIC as a lieutenant, serving for only two years in India. Back in London, he married a young woman of property . Wynne was a notoriously irascible man, and he and his wife eventually separated; their son published a memoir of him in the Monthly Magazine in Aug. 1806. Wynne turned to hack writing and editing for London publishers, and occasionally exercised his old trade as a printer. Ironically perhaps, apart from a General History of Ireland (1772) which had multiple editions, his most successful works were educational verses and narratives for children, especially the Choice Emblems (1772) verse emblems with prose explanations--composed originally for the nine-year-old son of William Henry Kerr, Earl of Ancram (1710-75).
