Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, and the Growth and Division of the British Empire, 1708-1778 There is no good biography of Lord Chatham; The History of William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, published in 1827 by the Rev. Francis Thackeray, and the Anecdotes collected by Almon the Printer, are both of them fragmentary and erratic. The former served as a text for Lord Macaulay´s famous essays, which arc the most spirited accounts of Chatham´s career. In Mr. Lecky´s History of England in the Eighteenth Century there is a sketch of Chatham´s life, and I desire to acknowledge the obligation which every writer on this period must owe to that great work. The Correspondence of William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, edited by the executors of his son, exasperates the student by its omissions, but is none the less a valuable collection. It is to be hoped that the full correspondence will one day be given to the world. I have to thank Lord Lansdowne for permitting me to use some volumes of his Manuscripts, and Lord Edward Fitz-maurice, M. P., for valuable suggestions, and for the great courtesy and kindness with which he has assisted me. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
