Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Richard Hussey Vivian: First Baron Vivian; A Memoir Richard Hussey Vivian, who was created first Baron Vivian in the year 1841, but who was better known as "Sir Hussey" throughout his life, was born at Truro on July 28, 1775. When about eight years old he was sent to the Grammar School at Truro, under Dr. Cardew. Here, however, he did not remain long, as from 1784 to 1787 he was at school at Lostwithiel, from which place he went direct to Harrow. Three years of his life were passed at Harrow; and in 1790 he entered at the old West Country College, "Exeter," at Oxford. He appears, however, only to have kept two terms, when he went to France to complete his education. The first letter I possess of his is one written from "Dear Mother, - I hope that my late silence has not alarmed you, but I wished not to write till I should be perfectly settled, which I am happy to inform you I am at present; and that in as comfortable a place as I could wish for.
