The late Earl of Mansfield fucceeded his fa- 
ther, as Vifcount Stormont in 1748, and his 
uncle, the cel: brated Chief Juftice of the King’s 
Bench, as Earl of Mansheld, in 1792. At the 
time of his death he held the offices of Prefident 
of the Council, Juflice General of Scotland, 
worth 20col. per axnum, confared upon him 
in 1778 Keeper of the Palace of Scoon, an hes . 
reditary office, Chance lor of Mareicha] College, ° 
Aberdeen, Joint Clu: of the Court of King’s 
Bench, valued at Gcool. per ann. and LL.D. 
conferred upon him at the inftallation of the 
Duke of Poitland as Chancellor of the Univers 
fity of Oxford in 1793. 
His Lordfhip came early into public life. He 
has been one of the reprefentatives of the Scotch 
peerage during the whole of the prefent reigny 
and has keen employed in fundry political fta- . 
tions. In 1763, ke was appointed Ambaffador 
Extracrdinary and Plenipotentiary to the. Court 
of Vienna, and nearly about the fame time was 
. Envoy Extraordinary at the Court of Drefden. 
In 1772, he was an Ambaffador at the Court 
of France, which he ieft on the breaking out 
of hoitilitics in 1778. In 1779, he was pro-

fide, particularly during the debates on the Re- 
gency in 1783-9. On the death of the vene- 
rable Earl Camden, in.1793, he was again ap- 
pointed Prefident of the Council. In his poli- 
tical principles, with the exception of the pe- 
riod jufk mentioned, he was a decided fup- 
porter of the Court; in early life a fluent and 
intelligent fpeaker, but lately rather tedious and 
dry in his manner. He was m private life ra- 
ther. parfimonious, and not lefs fo, when he 
came to inherit the princely fortune of his uncle. 
There are neverthelefs inftances of his gene- 
rous patronage of men of merit. He was a very 
accomplifhed {cholar, and well verfed in polite
