Hall) 29 July 1603, aged 17; B.A. July 1606; (*) Though a good speaker, he gained no great distinction when in office. " Short in stature and somewhat ungainly of gait." ("The House of Lords in 1857," Gent. Mag.). He was an author and poet. His Journey through Albania is an account of his expedition there in 1809 with Lord Byron, who dedicated to him the 4th canto of " Chiide Harold," paying the following handsome tribute to one whom he "had known long, accompanied far; whom he had found wakeful over his sickness, and kind in his sorrow; glad in his prosperity, and firm in his adversity; true in counsel, and trusty in peril; a friend often tried and never found wanting; a man of learning, of talent, of shrewdness and of honour." In a lighter vein Byron alludes to his poetical effusions in the "Lines to Mr. Hodgson, zurittcn on board the Lisbon packet." — " Hobhouse, muttering fearful curses, As the hatchway down he rolls, Now his breakfast, now his verses. Vomits forth and d s our souls." He is thus characterized in Patriot and Placeman, by W. M. Praed: — " Sir John was a patriot who talked to the town In a very fine style, at the Anchor and Crown; Sir John was a placeman who went to entrench His wisdom and wit on the Treasury Bench. Sir John was a patriot whose scorn was immense For the vermin who plundered the poor of their pence; Sir John was a placeman, who whispered a wish To honest Lord Grey for a loaf and a fish." Vi.1% Recollections of a Long Life, edited by his daughter, Lady Dorchester, 6 vols., 1910-I I, are decidedly interesting, and give a favourable impression of his character. V.G.
