Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Memorials of John Hampden: His Party and His Times In right of this lady, whom his father married in 1775, the year after Goldsmith´s death, and on whom, at the close of 1800, was conferred the Irish barony of Nugent with remainder to her second son, Lord George Grenville took the title of the barony. His birthright may thus be said to have included something higher than mere rank. He inherited a genial nature and humour, as well as cordial tastes, and most respectable talents in literature. For, Goldsmith´s patron and friend, whose reported portliness of person had also descended to his grandson, was a writer not at all of mean mark, and there are verses in his Ode to Pulteney which Akenside or Pope might have written. One of them is quoted by Gibbon to illustrate his character of Brutus. There was a difference of thirteen years between the eldest and the second son of Lord Buckingham; and when, on the death of the latter in February 1813, Richard became second Marquis, his brother George had been not many months second Lord Nugent, having succeeded to the title on his mother´s death, in March 1812.
