history, I shall give you a more particular account of him.  He has always earnestly studied our history and constitution and antiquities, with very ambitious views; and practised speaking early in the Irish Parliament.  Indeed, this turn is his whole fund, for though he is between thirty and forty, he knows nothing of the world, and is always unpleasantly dragging the conversation to political dissertations.  When very young, as he has told me himself, he dabbled in writing Craftsmen and penny-papers; but the first event that made him known, was his carrying the Westminster election at the end of my father’s ministry,-which he amply described in the history of his own family, a genealogical work called “The History of the House of Yvery,"(2) a work which cost him three thousand pounds, as the heralds informed Mr. Chute and me, when we went to their office on your business; and which was so ridiculous, that he has since tried to suppress all the copies.  It concluded with the description of the Westminster election, in these or some such words, “And here let us leave this young nobleman struggling for the dying liberties of his country!” When the change in the ministry happened, and Lord Bath was so abused by the remnant of the patriots, Lord Egmont published his celebrated pamphlet, called “Faction Detected,” a work which the Pitts and Lytteltons have never forgiven him; and which, though he continued voting and sometimes speaking with the Pelhams, made him quite unpopular during all the last Parliament.  When the new elections approached, he stood on his own bottom at Weobly in Herefordshire; but his election being contested, be applied for Mr. Pelham’s support, who carried it for him in the House of Commons.  This will always be a material blot in his life; for he had no sooner secured his seat, than he openly attached himself to the Prince, and has since been made a lord of his bedchamber.  At the opening of this session, he published an extreme good pamphlet, which has made infinite noise, called “An Examination of the Principles and Conduct of the two Brothers,” (the Pelhams,) and as Dr. Lee has been laid up with the gout, Egmont has taken the lead in the Opposition, and has made as great a figure as perhaps was ever made in so short a time.  He is very bold and resolved, master of vast knowledge, and speaks at once with fire and method.  His words are not picked and chosen like Pitt’s, but his language is useful, clear, and strong.  He has already by his parts and resolution mastered his great unpopularity, so far as to be heard with the utmost attention, though I believe nobody had ever more various difficulties to combat.  All the old corps hate him on my father and Mr. Pelham’s account; the new part of the ministry on their own.  The Tories have not quite forgiven his having left them in the last Parliament:  besides that, they are now governed by one Prowse, a cold, plausible fellow. and a great well-wisher to Mr. Pelham.  Lord Strange,(3) a busy Lord of a party by himself, yet voting generally with the Tories, continually clashes with Lord Egmont; and besides all this, there is a faction in the Prince’s family, headed by Nugent, who are for moderate measures.
