Breaking-News >> TodayHistory The 19th British Prime Minister William Windham Grumville has died.
by William Windham Grenville. He was the son of former Prime Minister George Grenville and also the nephew of another former Prime Minister William Pitt. He grew up in a political hotbed from childhood and accepted education at the Ethon School of Public Affairs and the Oxford University’s Christchurch College for those who are supposed to serve as senior leadership positions in a nation. He looked flat and behaved rude. He was ranked third among his brothers, so he was not wealthy (earned £1500 a year), but these misfortunes were insignificant compared to the political capital he owned. His capital included an important one, his one or that cousin would soon find a political position for him. They thought it was unthinkable that, like members of the Temple family or the Little Family, a member of the Grenville family would not be willing to pay. Even more importantly, although he has no special talent in managing public affairs, the weakness that a young man born in a family environment like him has can be overcome. He is very diligent and hard-working. But his family is quite wealthy, and he seems to be well-to-do in his own family environment. His advancement in politics is smooth and rapid, and this is expected for a man who came from the gate, and with a background like him, that he was elected to the Buckingham electoral district at the age of 22 – a parliamentary district controlled by his family. – This is a lucky moment because his cousin William Pitt has just been appointed as a finance minister. Less than a year, Grenville became his brother, the chief secretary of Lord Lord Temple, Lord of Ireland, and after Peter became prime minister The young man was no longer anxious about poverty and anxiety because of his reward for this position. At the age of 29, he was elected chairman of the House of Commons. Three years later, he was enlisted as a nobleman and minister of foreign affairs. In addition, he also served as a guard of Hyde Park. It was a fairly comfortable vacancy, earning £4,000 a year. He also served as an accountant of the Treasury Department, but also £4,000 a year. Now, his hands are very spacious and can be completely married. But, strangely enough, he took Lucky in his cousin. His bride was his aunt’s daughter, Anna Pitt. They lived in a small but charming residence in DePromor, Buckingham. Glenville built a beautiful library there. The influence of the French Revolution on his views was the same as that of many people with liberal but conservative views. The revolution turned him to high pressure. He expelled French ambassador Shawland and suspected him of instigating insurrection. He supported the government’s stance when he debated in the upper house suspending the Act on Personal Attack, the Crime of Treason and the Incitement to Assembly Act, which were the legal weapons pursued by Little Pitt to ensure that the theory of revolution had no place in Britain. On the other hand, he adhered to Adam Smith’s economic theory. When Pitt seemed to weaken the market economy, he opposed and once again stood on the side of the liberals on the question of Catholic liberation. He resigned with Little Pitt in 1801 due to the question of Catholic liberation. He served as Secretary of Foreign Affairs for a decade. He led a campaign against the Henry Adington government in parliament with George Canning and Charles James Fox and eventually brought the government down. After Addison was forced to resign, Grenville refused to participate in the Little Pitt Cabinet until Fox was included in the cabinet and he entered the cabinet. This was intolerable for the king. From this point of view, the relationship between Little Pitt and Grenville was not so good. After the death of Little Pitt in 1806, Gremlins formed the so-called superintendent cabinet (1806-1807). He was composed of the most talented cabinet members in imagination, and Gremlins was reluctant to serve as prime minister. He noted that he would have to give up his accounting inspector's office to reduce his income. At Fox, he promised to formulate a bill that the accounting inspector's office could be solved only after a trustee. It was a clever -- and -- too clever invention. Since then, Gremlins served as prime minister. But this cabinet proved to be a very bad group of organizations. 'We can't agree with D. Fox, one of the cabinet ministers, said the cabinet lasted 14 months. After this, the question of Catholic liberation Glenville, who was called a Catholic by the King, resigned. He said, “I feel endless consolation for leaving the post of prime minister.” It may be so. He thought of his home, garden and library in Dropmore. His wife inherited Pitt’s property in Bonconnock, Cornwall. Glenville is now a wealthy man. He often spoke in the House of Commons. For example, he made speeches advocating the abolition of the death penalty for the robbers of shops. He was loyal to the Catholic doctrine and to the faith of free trade. He died of a stroke in 1834 and was 74 years old, and he had no children. Liverpool Count, who succeeded Glenville as prime minister, concluded: “He is one of the most outstanding people I’ve ever known in my life... He’s extremely hardworking, but never comprehensively... He’s not a man of temper, but he’s cold to others... His behavior is extremely arrogant, disrespectful, and he and his family are very greedy.” Keywords: January 12, 1834 Glenville, Wendham, Prime Minister of Britain News raw data sources → https://today.help.bj.cn/show/?id=778 17WorldNews[2025.09.17-20:59] 访问:76
