Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs and Correspondence of George, Lord Lyttelton, From 1734 to 1773, Vol. 2 of 2 The leaders in the House of Commons were Lord Egmont and Bubb Doddington, to whom the Prince had promised a peerage, and whom, on his quitting the Government and his place of Treasurer of the Navy, he had made Treasurer of the Chambers. But by far the ablest as well as the most respected of the parliamentary chiefs was Dr. (afterwards Sir George) Lee, a civilian of great eminence and profound learning, a politician of acknowledged integrity, and a debater of great power. The Prince was also at this time at enmity with the Duke of Cumberland, and the Kings partiality for the younger embittered the opposition of the elder brother. The meetings at Leicester House became frequent and notorious, and provoked the wrath equally of the King and his ministers. The breach was widened by Bolingbroke. The councils of Leicester House were (till his death, in 1751) chiefly influenced by this veteran and indefatigable intriguer, who now more than seventy years old, resided at Battersea, and was the bosom counsellor of the Prince.
