 charge of tranfporting troops to beothmd, vhich he exe- 

 cuted in a manner equally able and dUinterelted. In the 

 besi.-ni"g of the year 17.7. when Acdifon became fecre- 

 taiy of Itate, he was promoted, under his patronage, to the 

 oOice of accomptant and comptroller geiuralot Ireland. 

 But this tide of profperity took an unfHvour.ble turn foon 

 after this latter appointment, when the duke of Bolton was 

 appointed to the vice-royal.y. When the duke's fecretary 

 ini'lled on quartering upon him a friend, his inUignation wiu 

 roufed; and he attacked both the fecretary and the loid 

 lieutenant in a virulent lampoon, which he pubhnied agamlt 

 the advice and remonftrance of Addifon, and which cauied 

 him to be deprived of his place as accomptant Upon hi. 

 return to England, he determined m oppofit.on to t c 

 counfel of his bed friends, to pubhfli his cafe, and, by this 

 fecond aft of indifcretion, he incrcafed the refenlmeut of his 

 enemie.-. By a popular pamphlet written m 17 1 9, ^f'f 

 the famous peerage bill, he incenfed the earl of Sunoerlard 

 and, at this timef the death of Ado. on, his fteady friend 

 and faithful counfellor, terminated all his expeftations from 

 the court. His circumftances, however, were eafy and af- 

 fluent, and he might have lived with dignity and independ- 

 ence. But deluded by the infatuation ot the fatal year 

 17-.0, he embarked in the South Sea fclieme, and loit 

 20 oool. Having taken an aftive part m the concerns and 

 debates of the company, and publifned pamphlets on the 

 occafion, that were well received, he attracted the noUce of 

 the duke of Portland, who had been a fufferer in this bi.b- 

 b'le as well as himfelf ; and he was taken iinder his ipecial 

 patronage, with the promife of accompanying him as his ic- 

 cretary To Jamaica, of which ifland he was appomteu gov-er- 

 nor. But the implacable reftntmcnc of the court ^frullrated 

 his expeaations, for the duke was exprefsly foroidden to 

 take him out as his fecretary. Tliis cruel treatment irritated 

 his temper; and with a. view of giving importance to hi3 

 oppofition, he fpent nearly 5000I. in various tmfuccefJul 

 efforts for obtainrog a feat in parliament ; and he was aided 

 by the duchcfi-dowager of Marlborough in 1727 wih the
