Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The British Plutarch, Vol. 8 of 8: Containing the Lives of the Most Eminent Statesmen, Patriots, Divines, Warriors, Philosophers, Poets, and Artists, of Great Britain and Ireland, From the Accession of Henry VIII. To the Present Time; Including, a Compendious View of the History of England This illustrious statesman was born on the 15th of November, 1708. His grandfather was Thomas Pitt, Esq; some time governor of Madras, and who sold to the king of France, for 135,000l. the celebrated diamond, commonly known by the appellation of Pitt´s diamond. His father was Robert Pitt, Esq; of Boconnock, in Cornwall. After having received a liberal education, he entered into the army, and became a cornet of horse; but he seems soon to have discovered, as one of his biographers has expressed it, "that the senate, and not the camp, the cabinet and not the field, were the scenes for which nature had destined him."
