 * William Pitt William Pitt (1759–1806), statesman; second son of William Pitt, first earl of Chatham; born   at Hayes; educated at Pembroke Hall. Cambridge; M.A., 1776; called to the bar at I. in.. -In 1 - Inn. 17o; M.I,  y, 1781; joined Lorn  that had followed !....utham; resolved uot to  accept a minor office, and (1782) declined Bockingham's offers, though giving the government independent support; became chancellor of the exchequer under 8hdburue on Kockingham's death, JulylTtt; refused the treasury on Sbdburne being overthrown by the coalition..i North and Pox ( February 1783), in spite of George Ill's im th,- OtanWl..! ths nin -m MM mod,- prm. uUMsj n. his twenty-fifth year (December 1783), the announcement being received with laughter in the House of Commons, the late ministers had a Urge majority: had great difficulty iu forming an administration, and was the only member of the Commons in his own cabinet; although repeatedly defeated in parliament, refused to dissolve until certain that public feeling was strongly on his side. Fox unwittingly assisting him by his mirtalren tactics in endeavouring to prevent a dissolution; obtained an overwhelming majority at the general election of 1784, to the satisfaction of the House of Lords, which had oonwsteutly supported him, and of George 111, who regarded bun as his only hope of salvation from men whom he hated; at once turned his attention to the finances, took measures for funding and reducing the national debt, and made great abatements iu the customs duties; instituted (1786) the sinking fund for paying oil the national debt, which, although iu continuance atu-r the outbreak of war in 1793 was economically in sound, undoubtedly contributed to maintain public credit: his position imperilled (November 1788) by the king's insanity, since, had George, prince of Wales, become regent, he would have been Hmamd in favour of Fox and his followers; maintained that the regent ought to be appointed by parliament, and was engaged iu passing a bill limiting his authority, when the necessity was removed by George Ill's recovery; formed (1788) an alliance with Holland and Prussia, and (1791) attempted to abate racial feeling in Canada by dividing the country into the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada; his attention roused by the outbreak of the French revolution, which involved him in a conflict which occupied all his later life: he viewed the outbreak of 1789 as a domestic quarrel, which did uot concern him, but was disturbed by the spread of republican principles in England, and by his attitude towards the French demand for the opening of the Scheldt caused war to be dec-hired in February 1793; his government strengthened by the accession of many leading whigs, 1794, only Fox and his small party maintaining a stedfast opposition; issued large loans, and suspended the Habeas Corpus Act (May 1793), abandoning at the same time his former partiality for parliamentary reform; formed between March and October a great coalition with Russia, Sardinia, Spain, Naples, Prussia, Austria, Portugal, and some German princes, and granted subsidies of 832,000*. for the hire of foreign troops; England successful at sea under the coalition formed by him, which, however, on the continent met with reverses, so that in a short time Austria and Sardinia were the only active allies left to England; made a triple alliance with Russia and Austria, which was equally fruitless, Russia remaining inactive, while Austria effected nothing of moment; his dismissal demanded by the mob, October 1796, which met George I II going to open parliament with cries of Bread Peace and No Pitt a consequence of bad har vents and financial distress; unsuccessfully laid proposals of peace before the French directory, March 1796, in the year after which (October 1797) the war on the continent came to an end, and England, loaded with taxation and threatened with financial panic, seemed likely to bear the whole brunt of the French attack; insulted by the mob, December 1797, and guarded with cavalry; anxiously sought for peace, but on the outbreak of the Irish rebellion of 17u8 renewed the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act and passed other coercive measures; aided by the victory of the Nile on I Aug. 1798 in forming his second great coalition against France, which included Portugal, Naples, Russia, The Porte, and Austria; by this the French were driven back to the Rhine, and Massena was penned up in Genoa, though Napoleon, returning from Egypt, broke the power of Austria at Marengo, and Moreau re-esUiblished the French in southern Germany; made the hind tax perpetual, April 1798, and (December 1 798) introduced an income tax, levying ten per cent, on income* of 2u7. and upwards,  lesser rate on incomes exceeding 60l.: had the Irish parliament united to that of (treat Britain, isoo. the passage of the hill in Ireland being procure.! by n. t!nI which -how a lo standard "f political morality: though largely resoniblc for the corruption, wa- ii'it the inrentor of the sy.-teui which had become an evil t radii ion in Ireland long before the Inion: desired to complete hiIrish policy by introdueinira mea.-iuv of catholic cnmnci .it foiind himself unable to ovcn-ome George Ill's opposition: found Ccorge III obdurate, and resigned office, 14 Match 1801, but in view of the foreign perils threatening the country agreed to support Addiugton's administration; relaxed his attendance in parliament in 1802, but maintained constant communication with the prime minister, and advised him both on the budget in April and on tin- royal speech in June: approved the treaty of Amiens, but diMiked many of the govemmcnt's proceedings, particularly its system of finance: after tlie outbreak of war iu May 1803. when the feebleness of government became apparent, at first maintained an attitude of neutrality, but gradually enuie into opposition; re-entered office on the resignation of Addington, May 1804, though without the support of most of his former allies among tlie whig*, who seceded with (ireuville; desired to include Fox in his cabinet: opposed in the ( ominous by the parties of Addington, Windham.and Fox: inaugurated a more vigorous jxlicy, and (April 1805) formed H third coalition with Russia, Austria, and Sweden, but incurred the hostility of Spain, which declared war again-* Knu'land, IXnvmber 18tU: personally reconciled to Addington, December 1804: increased the property tax bv twenty-five per cent., February 1805, raising a loan of 20,000,000.; his health, which had been declining for sometime, seriouslv affected by the censure on his old friend Melville for conduct of the public funds while first lord of tlie admiralty, and the renewed disaffection of Addington, now lord Sidmouth: he was almost broken down by the news of the capitulation of Ulm, October 1806 his death caused by the battle of Austerlitz, which shattered the coalition he had built up: he died in January 1806, his last words being Oh, my country ! how I leave my country ! %; buried (22 Feb.) in Westminster Abbey. Kager by nature, Pitt trained himself to singular calmness and self-possession. His judgment on party matters was admirable, and by the destruction of the whig oligarchy lie prepared for later parliamentary reform. He made some serious political mistakes, and was not his father's equal a a war minister. His policy of opposing France by means of European coalitions, while vigorous and daring, imposed on England a heavy financial burden, and, ix-rhaps owing to the petty views and selfish character of his continental allies, it could never have attained much success. His administration covered a time of great difficulty and peril, which forced him to abandon most of his early schemes of internal reform, but tie preserved England from serious disaster, established the reputation of her arms, and greatly increased her colonial possessions.
