Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Eccentric Mirror, Reflecting a Faithful and Interesting Delineation of Male and Female Characters, Ancient and Modern Been Collected and Re-Collected, From the Most Authentic Sources, Vol. 4 Thomas Pitt, Lord Camelford, was the great grandson of the famous Governor Pitt, who acquired the greater part of an ample fortune in India, by the advantageous purchase of a diamond, which was sold in Europe with great profit to the Duke of Orleans, regent of France. He was allied to some of the first families in the kingdom; his father, who was elevated to the peerage, in 1784, being the nephew of the late Earl of Chatham, and his sister having married Lord Grenville. Lord Camelford was born February 26th, 1775. In his spirit and temper, when a boy there appeared something which, though vigorous and manly, was, however, peculiar and unmanageable. He received at Berne, in Switzerland, the first rudiments of his education, which he afterwards completed at the Charter-House. In compliance with a predilection of his own, he was suffered at an early age, to enter the royal navy, as a midshipman.
