CHARACTERISTIC ANECDOTES -OF THE LATE

LORD CHATHAM.

Lord CHATHAM had great knowledge of the
characters of men, and could apply himself with great dexterity
even to their FOIBLES, when proper occasions demanded it.
When he was rather forced upon KING GEORGE the Second
as his Minister, by the unanimous voice of the people, he found
it necessary to recover the KING'S temper by some little exterior
mark of respect. An occasion soon 'presented itself, which was
to bring his MAJESTY the news of a victory. His Lordship,
however, was so ill of the gout, that when he was led to the
closet-door he could not stand. The KING, seeing this, called
for a stool.—" No, Sire," says Mr. PITT, "it is not my duty
to sit in your presence ; but though I can't stand, I can kneel ;"
and in that position read his dispatches.—The KING was so
pleased with the manner of his behaviour, and the news, that
he spoke ever afterwards of Mr. PITT with great friendship.
His general phrase was, " I like that PlTT—hes an honest
man—l understand all he says."
Mr. PITT'S acquaintance with the late Lord CAMDEN
arose through the recommendation of Lord NORTIIINGTON.
Mr. PITT, when Secretary of State, spoke to Lord N. to get
him a young man of sound knowledge in the law, whose prac-
tice was not very extensive, and he would make his occasional
attendance at the office worth his. while • " For," says he, " I
want a person of LEGAL knowledge about me, that we should
at least act CONSTITUTIONALLY..--,LOrd N. recommended
Mr. PRATT, and the congeniality of their minds afterward'
produced a friendship which brought * Mr. PRATT to the
honours he so justly enjoyed, which still continues with un-
abated affection in the two families. Though Mr. PITT was
so much employed in the great designs of his administration,
he nevertheless attended to the minutim of office as much as
possibly in his power. He kept up a regular correspondence
with all the Ambassadors, Envoys, &c. in his department, and
encouraged or reproved them as they deserved. 'An Envoy
from one of the German Courts coming home on leave of ab-
sence, went to pay his official visit to Mr. PITT. After some
little conversation, Mr. PITT turned to the office book, and
said, " How comes it, Mr. that you have been so bad
a correspondent of late ?—" Why, really Sir," says the other,
" we were all so STILL and QUIET, that I had no news worth
while sending you." "Sir," says the other gravely, "that is the
very reason you ought to write—it was necessary for ME to
know all was still and quiet as well as YOU—Let this conduct
be mended."
