Talk:Douglas Kinnaird

Untitled
The fifth son, the Hon. Douglas James William Kinnaird, an eminent banker, the friend both of Sheridan and Byron, was born February 26, 1788. He received the early part of his education at Eton. He afterwards passed some time at Gottingen, after which he went to Trinity college, Cambridge. In 1811, he took his degree of Master of Arts. In 1813 he accompanied Mr.(afterwards Sir) John Cam Hobhouse, baronet, (created in 1851 Lord Broughton,) through Sweden, and across the north of Germany to Vienna. He was present at the decisive battle of Culin, in Bohemia, in which the French, under General Vandamme, were beaten by the Prussians and Russians. Subsequently he became an active partner in the banking-house of Ransom and Morland, London, and, after the old partnership was dissolved, he took the principal management of the business. In 1815, Mr. Kinnaird, Lord Byron, the Hon George Lamb, and Mr. Peter Moore, formed the committee for directing the affairs of Drury-Lane theatre. He was afterwards, for a short time, M.P. for Bishop's Castle. His name often occurs in the Memoirs of Byron, and was one of the last which the noble poet was heard to pronounce. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.223.227 (talk) 03:13, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
