1 1 . The Right Hon, Spencer Per- 

 ceval, first Lord of the Treasury, 

 and Chancellor of the Exchequer, 

 shot by an Assassin (See History 



and Chronicle). He was born in 

 1762, and was the second son of 

 John, late Earl of Egmont, by 

 a daughter of the Earl of North- 

 ampton. Being brought up to 

 the law, he obtained a reputation 

 at the bar, which in 1801 pro- 

 cured him the post of solicitor- 

 general, and in the following year 

 that of attorney-general. He was 

 a strenuous supporter of Mr. Pitt's 

 ministry, and a warm opposer of 

 that which succeeded it. On the 

 formation of a new administration, 

 he took a share in it, and gradu- 

 ally rose to the station of first mi- 

 nister of this country. Of his 

 political measures and principles, 

 as well as his talents, different 

 opinions were of course entertained 

 by the different parties : to his 

 private character for benevolence, 

 integrity, and domestic virtue, all 

 parties have borne testimony. He 

 married the daughter of the late 

 Sir Thomas Spencer Wilson, Bart, 

 by whom he left a numerous 

 issue.

 dowments.
