Biographies of William Pitt.
Lord Mahon is well known in this country
by his tc History otEngland from the Peace
of Utnicht to the Peace of. Versailles;" a Pe
riod of seventy years; including the close of
Queen Anne's reign and the acknowledgment,'
by England, of the Independence of the
United States.
,Ile., may yet write the History
of Eneland from the death of-William
when 'Macanlay'ends, to the time when his
great work commences, and thus, to a large
extent, fulfil the oitgiaal Idea.
For some years, Lord Mahon, as politician,
and author, his not had hitt name before the
public. He is not dead, nor has be been
sleeping. The fact simply is, that in 1855
by his father's death, he became Earl of Stan- i
hope--and the title of ee Lord Mahon" was
merely borne bte,him, ".in courtesy," ac
cording to the British practice of allowing the
eldest:sone of peed above the rank of Via
count to bear their father's second title.
Lend:4Labon, thiefore, who wee' 'mern
ber of Sir Rebeet k. ,Peers Goterrmitifit

wrote the hiss efra Attaditeiiidt,,aboye, as
well. se ;the Liiiis of Iteliamius and the +
Great Conde; who edited She Robert -Peel's ,
poithumons memoirs ; who further Wrote the 1
History of the agar of the Succession in Spain,
and . the: Forty-flee (Rebellion in Scotland),
and has contributed largely to the Quarterly
Review', is now tIM Earl of Stanhope, and has
given proof of 'the vitality of Maimed and
head. and handby the production of=-the first
two voltimes of It Life:of William, Pitt, (1759-
1806)—a work not yet republished here,
which the English orifice-ere warm and una
nimous in meleing. ;
A biography of the second Pitt has long been
needed- The man_who was Chancellor of the
Exchequer at the age of tweety-three, Prime-
Minister at twenty-four, and who not only Vir
tually but actually ; . gevernett England, with
scarcely any intermission, during the re
maining twenty-four years of his life, surely.
merited a good biographer, for Ids life is iden
tified with the history of quarter of a can
tray. William Pitt heti been onfortunate,
until now, in being Shown to the world by his
.biographers.
At the University of Cambridge, where he
compietedhia education,Wm.l'itthasa clerical
pedant named fretyman_for his tutor. When
Pitt became Chancellor of the Exchequer, in
1782, be appointed• this Mr. Pretyman his pri
vate Secretary, and, attending to his advance
miffit in the Church, successively made him
Pribeinisty of Westminiter, Bishop •of Lin.'
coin, and Dean Of St. Paul's. When his
name was Baba:Rifted for the bishopric to
George 111., the monarch asked his age.
cc Thirty:Jive," answered Pitt ! ec Too young,
Pitt, too- young! Can't have it, Pitt, can't
have it."• The Miniuter insinuated, "Had
it not been for him, sire, I should never
have been fit for your service." This settled.
the point. The King exclaimed, as hastily as
before,,lnit more deeisivelt, "•Shall have it,
Pitt; atilt have it." And so the Reverend,
and learned, and heavy George Pretyman be
came 13 ishop.of Lincoln in -1787. Thirty-three
years later, (in 1820) he was. made Bishop of
Winchester,-and, in the following , year, pub
lished the first portion pf the - Life of William
Pitt, in - two great volumes; to which a third
was subsequently added, „end a fourth was .in
hands when the poor Bishop died, in 1827.
When kitt was on his death-bed, in Jaimery, ,
1806, lea bequeathed' allbis-papenr to! Bishop •
Pretymare-Cfho subsequently changed his
name to Toktline, arid' assumed the title of
baronet, which he pretendedOharles 11. had
conferred - neon one - of his ancestors —his
eilleataorehorefete • thong& so 'lie* of
pretensions toihiti title that he never assumed
it, and. his successor, Kr. Ge o rge Tomline
U. P. far Shrewsbury, has also &Alined it. -
-The Bishop, with eminent want aff ,taste,
judgment, andoomuem propriety, destroyed,
all the letters addressidlo Mr. Pitt by hitovin
nearest relatives, and did not leave even a
single one of those from his mother, to whom
hew:rote mere frequently than to any other
person. Re burned all the letters from Pitt's
.sisters ; a. 49 from the Earl of Chatham, his
eldest brother, up to the time when he be
came a meruher of the Cabinet. He burned
all his own, letters to Pitt, and hundreds, if
not thousands, of those front Pitt's colleagues
to their own leader. Many of the commintica
time; from George 111:-to Pitt remain, and are
printed by Lord Stanhope, but the Bishop,
in his ruthless. and 'barbaric •holocaust of
valuable papers, included the draft-notes of
Pitt's communicating to the King. One would
think: not unieasonattly, that Pitt's private
papers ought to bave been esteeme d as most
valuable neiteriali by his lawn-sleeved biogra
pher. The blogeaphtcal Bishop did not so
-think. After burning the valuable manu
scripts, which alone would have made his
Lite of Pitt vrortir reading, the Bishop la
beriousty applied hirnielf to disinter heaps of
heavy rtibbish'ironr the Parliamentary De
bates and Annual - Registers of the time. The
only pert of the biography worth reading is
that which describes Pitt's residence at the
Univeraity._ MiCaiday said thafthe book bad
the honorof, being the worst biography of its
size, in the .world.. . The Edinburgh Review
said. that ee the work-was less indebted to the
author's pen thank! his Schisors."
Bishop Tandineei first two volumes did not
appear nntil 1821. Of course, Pitt, dying
early in 1806, did not remain without. a bi
ographer until then. In 1809, appeared, in
three great quarto :volcanos, a History of tbe '
Political Life of the Right Honorable William
Pit This was: the, production, paste and
scissors largely assisting, of a-certain John
Richards Green, who, for some reason or
other; assumed theatame of John Gifford, and
lifin:eoutellmee beet 'ignorantly mistaken for,
or' confounded with, William Gifford, anther
of the Beefed and the Mewled, political' and
literary attires translator' of> Invenal, and
editor of the Quarterly Review, from its com
mencement in. 1809 to 1824. John Gitiord's
Life of Pitt, written without • the; pereonal
knowledge which Bishop. Tomline posseased,
Ware largely compiled front Hansard (Faille
ineetary Debates), and from newspapers. It
„,,. .
was intensely Tory in its - p rinciples; vehe
ment
in vindication of Legitinfacy,-
e The right divine et wrong i "
intolerant in its assertions• against the policy
of putting Roman Catholics within the pale of
the British Constitution, by admitting them to
an equal participation ie, civil rights; and, as
- was the fashion of the time, audaciously inso.;
lent and even personally libellous upon Napo
leon 1., who Was then shaking most of the
thrones of Europe. This was all in consist
ency with John Gifford's principles from the
'time of his commencing to write, at the -put
break of the French Devolution—fhb history
of which he wrote, in five great volumes. Ilei
had successively established and edited the
British. Critic and the Anti-J . 4o)6in Review,
and, as a reward for his services, which ids
intolerant Life of -Pitt was understood to bave
completed, Mr. Silencer Percival, the Prime
Minister, made hiM one of the Pollee Magis
trate!' of London, though he,was not a lawyer,
which responsible and lucrative office he held
until his death in 1818.
The third of Pitt's biographers Was bard
Macaulay, who, • in 1859, shortly before he
died, contributed the article 'upon William Pitt
to the new edition of the ce Encyclopedia Bri

death, the House of Commons voted: £40,000
to pay his debts, Macaulay remarks that it is
neither right nor becoming in a man to whom
the public has given an income more than suf
ficient for his comfort and dignity, to bequeath
to that public a great debt, the effect of mere
negligence and profusion, and adds:
" Re bad neither wife nor child ; he had no
needy relations ; ho had no expensive tastes; he
bad no loos election bills. Ilad he given but a
qaarter of an hour a week to the regulation of hie
nouaeboid, be would have kept his expenditure
within bounds. Or, if he could not spare even a
quarter of an hour a week for that purpose, he had
numerous friends, exoellent men of business, who
would have been proud to act as hie stewards One
of those friends, the chief of a great commerolal
house in the city, made an attempt to put the es•
tablishment in Downing street to rights, but in
vain. Be found that the waste of the servants'
hall was almost fabulous. The quantity of butch
er's meat charged in the bills was nine hundred
weight a week. The consumption of poultry, of
flab, of tea, was in proportion. The character of
Pitt would have stood higher if, with the disin
toreatedness of Pericles and of Be Witt, he had
united their dignified frugality.
"The memory of Pitt has been assailed, timers
Innumerable, often justly, often unjustly ; but it
has Buffered much leas from his ems/lento than from
his euloglets. For, during many years, his name
was the tallying cry of a class of men with whom,
at one of those terrible ciovjunotures which 01:41-
found all ordinary distinctions, he was accidentally
and temporarily connected, but to whom, on al
most all great questions of principle, ho was dia
metrically opposed The haters of Parliamentary
reform called themselves ratite's, not choosing to
remember that-Pitt made three motions for Par
liamentary reform, and that, although be thought
that such a reform could not safely be made while
tkri passions excited by the French Revolution
were raging, he never uttered a word indi
cating that he should not be prepared at a more
convenient season to bring tba aciestioa forward a
!earth time. The toast of ,Proushint-asoendenny
was drunk on Pitt's birthday by a set of Pitthes,

his office because he could Ina carry Catholic emelt:

The enemies of free trade ogled themselves
Pitutes, though Pitt was far more deeply imbued
with the doctrines of Adam Smith than either
Fox or Grey. The very.negro•drivers invoked the
name of Pitt, whose eloquence was never more

sembles the genuine Pitt as little as the. Chide

cate the real man from calumny disguised under
the namblanoe of adulation, and will exhibit him
as what he was—a minister of great talents, honest
intentions, and liberal opisions, pre-eminently
qualified, intellectually and morally, for the part
of a Parliamentary leader, and capable of admin
istering, with prudence and moderation, the go.
vernment of a prosperous and traeguil country;
but unequal to surprising and terrible emergen
cies, and liable, In each einergeneler, to err
grievously, both on the side of weakness and on
the side of violence."
The Life of . Pitt, by Lord Stanhope, ought
to be full, authentic, end well written. So it
is. The author's lineage mingles with that of
the great Statesman. He has himself been
over thirty years in Parliament, and it requires
a practical politician to write the lite of a %reat
political leader. Moreover, though Bishop
Tomline did destroy a great mass of invaltt_
able correspondence, and other manuscripts,
Lord Stanhope atilt has had important sources
of information, unpublished as well as recently
printed. Ha has made use of the interesting
Rutland Correspondence and the documents
at Melville Castle, with fragments possessed 1
by the Duke of Bedford, LorkSt. Germaine;
and Mr. Dundas, of Arniston, and these com
bined with the Malmeabury, Buckingham, and
Cornwallis Papers, added to the biographies
Of Sidi:l:tenth and Wilberforce, have mainly
Contributed to give value and reliability to
what deserves to be considered as the best—
we might say, considering the brevity of Ma
caulay's sketch—the only good biography of
William Pitt.
We shall defer, until to-morrow, a particu
lar account, with extracts, of this work, and
shall conclude now by relating an anecdote of
Tomline's Life of Pitt, which, it strikes us, is
,rather too good to be lost. •
Dr. Tomlinejourteetnyears after the death
of Pitt, had completed the first arid' recand
volumes of his heavy biography. At that
time, John Murray, of Albemarle street, Lon
don, proprietor of the quarterly Review, was,
supposed to be the publisher whose merely,
taking up an, author conferred, by antioipa- .
tion, a sort of reputation upon him. Besides,
Murray was a very decided Tory. Dr. Tom.
line wrote a brief note to Murray, mentioning
that the first portion of his Life of Pitt was I
ready for the press, and asking on what terms
he would publish it. The Bishop, whose
London antiurban residence was at Chelsea,
aigned his note George Winton—a contraction
of Georgina Wintonenais, his full Latinized
signature, as Bishop of Winchester. Murray,
who was ignorant of this, considered it an im
pertinence for an utter stranger to write him a
three•line note, and sharply replied,' with
equal brevity, "Mr. Murray has received Mr.
George Winton's note, and declines the prof
fered publication." Soon after John Wilson
Croker came in, and Murray, still piqued, threw
the 44 Winton " epistle across the table to him.
cc The very book," exclaimed Croker, '4. and
the very man to write it." Murray, astonish
ed, demanded an explanation. Croker an
d/fired, The Bishop of Winchester was
Pitt's tutor, private secretary, correspondent,
friend, and literary executor." Murray, still
mystified, asked 44 What has the Bishop of
Winchester to do with that letter?" Croker
explained the matter of the Episcopal signa
ture. "Bless me," said Murray, seriously
aimoyed, .4 I thought it was some Grub street
compiler, and wrote him a short, stiff answer.
I hope it has not been posted." On inquiry,
it was found that the letter had been taken,
with others, to the Two-penny Post Office,-
an institution which existed, for city delivery,
before Rowland Hill's time. With some diffi
culty, Sir Francis Freeling, Secretary of the
General Post Office, allowed Murray to with
draw the letter, happily undelivered, in lien
of which he sent a very courtly epistle, offer
ins to wait upon the Bishop, and so on. The
result wasthe publication of the first part, in
two volumes, of Tomline's Life of Pitt. In ful
ness of time, Croker, whoyne* the Bishop, and
spared no one, told the particulars of the IX*
ton" letter to his Lordship, who, beini very
Sensitive, let Murray know, more than once',"
that he was in the secret. Dr. Maginn barely
alluded to it in the first number of the " Noetes
Ambrosiance," promising to publish it in full,
in .Blackwood's Magazine, some other day.
He did not keep his word, and the present
narrator tells it, much as he heard it stammer

condemn me. I was accused of disloyalty,

we finish the discusaion of one, when another
arises. Not long , since, we were at the "right
of coercion" by 'Government, when Govern
ment is but/another term for the' .cright of
000rcion." Then arises the claim ofthe South
for independence by the "right et revolu
tion;" whim independence by revolution is
not attained until revolution is successful.
Now, we come to neutrality defended. In a
New York journal; for the opinions of which
we generaby have the highest respect, we have
lately read two artiples apologetic of the pro
posed neutral attitude of Kentucky. In the first,
the argutgent is, --that the Union and Secession
parties in Kentucky-are so nearly balanced that.
we should let the Union men keep their oppo
nents there In check, and not urge the State ,
further to our side. The second article • al-'
though apologetic, hints that the neutrality
might be a little one-sided. Now, the neu
trality of any State is defection, and of a Bor
der State is treason, as, owing to its rosttion,
an attempt at neutrality is an aid and comfort
to the enemy. If it were possible for Ken
tucky to remove to some other portion of the
globe until the contest is over, her going would,
be defection, but the, mildest form of derelic
tion. If she could keep both contending par
ties from her soil, she would be antagonistic to
the Government , only. It would be no wrong
to the South, they having no right there.
In this • attempt 8110 would be guilt/ not
only of defection, bat treason, inasmuch
as her attitude would furnish aid and comfort
to the'enemy. To take up arms against the
Government would, of course, be the moat
flagrant treasoti. 4.-3 Kentucky cannot go to
another•pertion of the globe, she cannot do
what would be least derelict. Either of the

re-cement? Should it be allowed to share
them? No I Then it could not, in that
event, be one of the United States, and nea
trality ends in excommunication, the result of
which is the same as secession.
In unconditional Unionism, or antagonism,
we must eventually stand arrayed. - The
Unionism that is not Union through all
the results that follow the adoption of the
creed is not worth anything. Officers who
resigned lately, in the anticipation of the se
cession of their State, wish to return. In
what respect are they better than those who
resigned and were not mistaken in the seces

ther, and which may be eventually denied her,
because it is no right, and 'we need their

we have alluded are not the less traitors be
