Lord Fife and His Factor by Alistair Tayler PDF Summary

Book Description: Selections from over 20,000 letters written from London by Lord Fife to his Factor ("doer"or agent) in Scotland, William Rose, who carefully preserved all the letters. Although Lord Fife's eighty years (1729-1809) were all lived under two sovereigns B thirty-one years in the reign of George II, and forty-nine in that of George III, yet he linked up three distinct political and literary ages. When he was born, Steele, Sterne, Defoe, Gay, Swift, Pope, and Bolingbroke were still living; Johnson was only twenty years, Chatham twenty-one, and Horace Walpole twelve years older than he. Among his contemporaries and friends were Burke, Reynolds, Goldsmith, Garrick, the younger Pitt, Henry Dundas, Clive, Warren Hastings, Lord North, and Charles, Lord Stanhope. Nelson, Napoleon, and Wellington were all born while he was in middle life. When he was becoming an old man, Carlyle and Maccaulay were born, and Wordsworth, Coleridge, Southey, Scott, and Byron rose to fame, while 1809, the year of his death was that of the births of Alfred Tennyson, Edward FitzGerald, and Gladstone. He wrote much more naturally and in less stilted language than most men of his time.
