Philip Dormer Stanhope, fourth Earl of Chesterfield, was
one of the most brilliant characters of his time. Born in 1694,
he entered the House of Commons before the legal age, and
succeeded his father in the Earldom in 1726. In 1745 he was
appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and in the following year
Secretary of State. Of his own choice he retired from office in
1748, and devoted the remainder of his life to literary leisure,
occasionally taking part in the debates in the Upper House,
and assisting in the reformation of the calendar in 1751. He
died 24 March, 1773.
