LIP'PE SCIIAU'MBERG (William, Count), a very 
Angular character, was the fon of Albert Wolfgang count 
Lippe and Schaumberg, by a daughter of count Oynhau- 
jien. He was born in 1724 at Loudoii, where bis pa refits

then refided in ccnfequence of a mifunderftandmg which 
prevailed between his father and grandfather, in 1735 
he was fent to Geneva to complete his education. In 
1740 he returned along with his brother; and, in the fol¬ 
lowing year, they were both fent to the university of Ley¬ 
den, from which they were removed, fome time after, to 
Montpellier in France. At about the age of eighteen he 
conceived a ftrong defire to fee England ; he accordingly 
repaired thither, and obtained an enfign’s commiflion in 
the firft regiment of guards. On the death of his elder 
brother George, in 1742, he returned to Buckebourg, the 
family-refidence in Germany; and next year accompanied, 
his father, a lieutenant-general in the Dutch fervice, dur¬ 
ing the campaign in the Netherlands, and was prefent as 
a volunteer at the battle of Dettingen, where he cfiftin- 
guifhed himfelf by his bravery and good conduCi. In the 
year 1745 he joined the Auftrian army in Italy, in which 
he ferved as a volunteer under field-marlhal Lobkowitz 
and count Schulenburg; and, on his return to Bucke¬ 
bourg at the end of the campaign, he was promoted, in 
confequence of his fervices, to be a colonel in the Au¬ 
ftrian army; but this commiftion he declined. In 1746 
he travelled through many of the German provinces; 
proceeded thence to Italy and Swifferland, and afterwards 
to England, for which he always retained a ftrong predi- 
leflion. Having fucceeded to his paternal dominions in 
1748, he repaired to Berlin to return to his Pruflian ma- 
jefty the order of the Black Eagle, which had been con¬ 
ferred on his father. Here he formed an acquaintance 
with fome of the inoft diftinguifhed literary men of that 
city, and was defied a member of the Academy of Sci¬ 
ences, an honour which was conferred on him in 1764 by 
the Royal Society of Gottingen. Soon after, he under¬ 
took a new tour to Italy through Hungary, where he en¬ 
larged his knowledge of antiquities and improved his tafte 
in the fine arts. He returned to Buckebourg in 1751, and 
next year raifed from among his own fubjeits a regiment 
of grenadiers, and a corps of artillery, to which he added 
in 1753 another of carbineers, whole drefs was very An¬ 
gular, being black turned up with red. The coats of the 
officers were alfo black trimmed with lilver, and their velts 
and breeches yellow fatin, which formed a curious con¬ 
trail with the red lining of the coat. In 1753 he was ho¬ 
noured by the king of Pruifia with the order of the Black. 
Eagle. In 1754 he eliabliflied at Buckebourg a foundery, 
where he caufed to be call all thole cannon which he af¬ 
terwards employed in the leven-years’ war againlt the 
French. In the year 1756 he entered into a fubfidiary 
treaty with Great Britain, by which he engaged to affift 
his Britannic majelty in the defence of his German Hates 
again!! the French ; and to furnilh for that purpofe a re¬ 
giment of infantry of a thouland men, a corps of three 
hundred artillery, and another of carbineers and chaffeurs. 
Next year the Schaumberg troops joined the Hanoverians 
at Bieifeld ; and the count, as an ally of his Britannic 
majefty, was appointed adjutant-general of the allied army, 
a fituation in which he ferved with great reputation till 
the end of the war. When the army opened the campaign 
in the fpring of the year 1758, under the command of 
prince Ferdinand, he again repaired to his poll; and was 
prelent at the battle of Minden, and alfo at that fought 
on the 10th of October the lame year by lieutenant-gene¬ 
ral Oberg at Lutterberg, where the French troops made 
every exertion to get poflelfion of the count’s perfon. Af¬ 
ter his troops had remained with the allied army a confi- 
derable time, he was ordered by an imperial mandate of 
the 28th of Auguft 1758 to withdraw them, and to join 
the Auftrian fbnees againft the king of Pruifia ; but, not- 
vvithftanding the threat held out of being placed under 
the ban of the empire, he abfolutely refilled to comply 
with this requiliticn ; and, though his territories were in¬ 
vaded by the French troops, and treated as a conquered 
country, lie continued faithful to th# folemn engagements 
which he had entered into with England. In the year 
}759 the count obtained the command of the whole artil¬ 
lery
