W'raxall ( Ucmoirt, vol. ii, p. 217, edit. 18^4), writes of him under 8 March 1782 (when his speech, imputing "want of foresight ami ability " to the Ministry, " was calculated to produce the deepest impression "i that " he was indeed a man of great Parliamentary talents and uf di.-tingnished integrity, tl»o' by no means unaccompanied with deep ambition. From 1782 till 1797, daring 15 years, he seems under successive Administrations, never for mi inttaml to hate Imt ttgU of the Peerage to which he ultimately attained."
