Excerpt from Which Is the Winner?, Vol. 2 of 3: Or, the First Gentleman of His FamilyPitt, and one of his stanchest supporters. He was an opponent of Charles James Fox in the House, at the card-table, and at New market.

He and Mr. Addington were kicked out together-the one out of office, and the other out of Paris; neither the one nor the other ever forgave Buonaparte. He had a very excellent property, my dear Evelyn; and if you look round you will see the greatest part of it, as I told you. This parish and Spring Vale belonged to him. When he retired to live upon it, he was in an unfortunate position. He was too honest and independent to make a London courtier, and too refined and extra vagant for a country gentleman.'
