This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

1 fi£ frvourable reception with which the former
iWtioiis of this Peerage haye been honoared, de.
aands the Editor's most grateful acknowledge-
ments ; it has encouraged him to lay before th«
Public a seventh Edition, in which rery c6nsi«
derabie additions have been made, not only to
the principttl, but also to the collateral branches*
In the mean time, the original matter has been
most carefully revised, 9n4 the strictest attention
applied to the correction of inaccuracies in every
department of the work.
In the humble hope, that he may have per-
formed the duties incumbent on him, he intreats
the Public to accept his most sincere gratitude
for its former favours. At the same time, h<(
begs leave to observe, that/ in works of thii
nature, omissions and inaccuracies will unavold-
aUy occur, which the most sedulous attention
cauQOt prevent ; he trusts, however, that a
general accuracy will aton« for aui accidental
deficiency. ,

called the Great^ who married Cunegunda, dau^iter an^
.heiress of Guelpho }II. duke olf Lower Bavatia, afii
count of Weintgarden.
The Line of the Guelphs derives itself from the Scy-
thianSi who, being driven by the Gotiis from their settle-
ment at the mouth of the Danube, first erected a kingdom
upon the borders of Germany, near the German sea. Oa
their arrival they were called Newmagae, or new kindred i
tiil^ afterwards ]>assed under the denomination of Sieani*
fori, and, lastly, of Franks, or Fi-anconians.
M arcomir, the first king of tlie Sicambri, took possession
of that country now called West-Friesland, Gueldres, and
Holland, at a very early period ; and the succession con-
tinued throu^ a long line, to Heniy IV. ditke of BaTaria,
called SuperbuS) who was poisoned in 11^39, in the city of
Quedlingburg, during a negocialioa between him and the
emperor Coorad. H» left one son, Henry Leo, in whom,lt»y

Sir Stepben Fox, the ancestor of the earis of Uchester,
«nd lords Holland, was a man of the greatest abilities and
aott accomplisbed manners. His fidelity to his sovereign
was proverbial *, and, though tine reigning powers at tiuit
time tried their utmost enckcvours to make him withdraw
liii aUe|[iance from his exiled master, Charles II. they
Ibnnd hun incorruptible.
During the exile of the king, in Holland and other
places, or Stephen constantly adhered to his cause ; and
io acceptable were bb services, that his m^^esty wb9
aaziout of his being constantly near hift person. He waa
fotrosted with all & king's secrets ; knew who were hit
mends imd enemies in Engfawd. From the correspond-
Once he kept up with the royalists, he was enabled to
■erve his o^esty in the most essential manner, by keep-
itt| alive the hopes of the king's fi*iend» in England. By
this correspondence, sir Stephen received the intelligence
of the death of Oliv^ Cromwell, six hours before it reftcb*
td Brussels, and in^Nurted it to the king, whilst he was
plaving at tennis, with the archduke Leopold, Don John,
mid o£er- Spanish grandees.
He likewise evinced his affection to that monarch, b]f
^equently procuring him money, of which the king was
often in want ; it is no wonder then that his nuister should
liave the greatest confidence in such aservaot, who. when
otbeis made their peace with the parliament, and.sayed
their estates, nobly sacrificed all in the canse of his exiled
king.

the king of the Two Sicilies conferred the additional tide
of. Bronte upon this gallant adtnira! as a reward for the
protection which his Seet aiforded to his dominions, he,
perhaps, Vas not aware of its appropriate meaning. It
is the Greek word for thunder. The name of the Cyclops
who is represented in poetic feble as forging the thunder <^
Jupiter, was jprontes ; his residence was of course at ^tna,
in the island of Sicily. His Majesty was pleased, March '

1775, marrieil, April 17, 1798, the hon. George Yiliieri,
third SOB of Thomas, fhe 6rst earl of Clarendon. Her
ladyship died December 22, 1 798. Tlie foflowing account
#f her death and character, from the pen of the celebrated
lir Joshoa Reynolds, kot. appeared in the public journals.
'< A ftw days aftJT the birth of her daughter Theresa,
ahe receired a stroke ©f the palsy ; of which she appear-
ed recov^ni^, but receiving a second, and soon auer ^
thifd; it put an end to the life of one of the most valuable
•f women. Her amiable disposition, her softness and
gentleness of manners, endeared her to erery one wh©
Bad the happiness of knowing her ; her whole pleasure and
Mbbition were centered in a consciousness of properljf
disciuirgiDg ail the duties of a wife, of a mother, of m
lister; ana she neither songlit for, nor expected fante,
mit of her own bouse.- As she made no ostentation of ber
Tirtnes, she excited no envy ; but if there existed so de-
praved « bem§ as to wish to wound so fair a character,
the most artfbl malignity must have searched in vain for
a weak part ; her virtnes were uoiform, quiet, and habitnal;
they were not occasionally put on, she wore them con-
tinually, they seemed to grow to her, and be a part of
herself and it seemed to be impossible for her, to laj
them aside, or be other than what she was. Her person
was eminently beautiful ; but the expresnon of ber coun-
Icaance was far above all beauty that proceeds from
regularity of features only. The gentleness and benevo-
leroe of her disposition were so naturally impressed on
every look and motion, that vrithout any affected efTorf,
or assnoied courtesy, she was sure to make every one
her friend that had ever spoken to or seen her. So ex-
alted a characfer, it is scarce worth mentioning her skiiS
and exact judgement in the poUte arts-^-she seemed to
ponesM, by a kind of intuition, that propriety of taste
md right tiiifllcing, which others but imperfectly acquire
hy hn^ labour and application. His lordship died April
t7, 1788, and was succeeded by his only son, John, the

GfidReE-FULKE LYTTELTON, Lord LYTT^I:-
TON, Baron of FrtBkley, in Worcestershire, Baron West-
cote, of Balamore ; bora Oct f7, 176^ ;suecee(ied his
lather William-Henry, tiie late lord, Sept. 14, 1808.
The family of Lyttelton appears to hare been of \ery
aneient standini^ and rank at Sontb Lyttelton and Frank ley,
in Worcesters^re. In the reign of Henry IIL in lsJ35,
Thomas de Lyttelton married Emma de Fraakley, an
heiress and lady of the manor ; and his grandsou, Thomas
de Lyttelton, m the idthof Ewd. II. was chosen knight &C
Abe shire for the county of Worcester ; Ax)m nrhom de-
sc4tnded John Lyttelton, who was'involved in the measures
of the earl of Enax, for which he was tried and condentncd
ibr high treason, Feb. SO, 1600-1. Sir W. Raleigh, at
that time in great favonr and power at <!ourt, was remark-
ably warm in prosecuting the earl of Essex and his adhe-
rents. A large sum of money, privately paid to him by
Mr, Lyttelton, and others, so far indeed operated upon
Inm, that he saved their lives, bat not their estates. The
ibllowing excellent letter, written from the dougeon in
Newgate to sir Walter, shews the greatness of Lytteltoa's
^kirit, and deserved far better at the bands of Raleigh.
^" ^ ; It is not worthye the vertue and honour yon
professe, to persecute persons fallen into misfortunes : if
neretofbre yon have borne me causelesse displeasure, now,
ofaJd others, is the time least seasonable to shew it. Re-
member, sir, what it is to be truly noble, • and how it
jagreeth not with generous liartes to delight to trample
upon dejected fortunes. It is now in your power to du
me good or ill offices ; if yon do me good, you shall give
me causa to b« thankfulL There is ahready between your
ion and me one tye m blood and nature ; I could be con-
tents you did now double the knot witli offices of love and
friendship. To begge your favour in the state I stand,
were too much bajseness ; to refuse it, were arrojiancy
and indiscretion ; but to require you tp do me no harm, is
but jnsticf , and that one gentleman of right oweth to ano-
ther. What constructien you will make of this, or what
is nowe meete to be don, I must vekt to your own judg-
ment, and &o I ende. J. Lyttsltok."

Tilts family came into England with William the Con-
^eror, ind appears in tlie hst of barons wt»ch was lortg
^reservi^d at Hattle Abbey. The first of the family was
^untaii, alid from tliat commin stock sprang; several
^NttHies, much distingiiislied by our ancient kings ; most
«f tl>em now extinct in the ma^e line. The baronies of
€>fayton, Hedington, Sapc§te, Weldon, Louvaine, &c.
were in dilferent brandies of this family. In Henry the
#irst's reign. Basset, of Drayton, who seems to have
* beett the elder branch, was chief justice of England, the-
first ofiif er in the kingdom at that period. The Bass«^
held ten kniglits-fees in 1106, of the manor of Walling-
.^d ; amongit which number appears the name of Wil-
'^Ibm Basset, wholikewBc hekl knights-fees oftlie manor
'pf Ipsdei>, in Oxfordshire, tliC ancestor of lord De Dun-
staDvilie's family. In the time of king John, they took
•an active pail ; two of the family signed Magna-Chdrta,
Basset, of 'Hediugten> and anoUier. Basset, of Heding-
ton, and WrtHam above-mentioned, married into th&
\i>an»ri^iiville tWmily — 4yilliam, married, in 1150, Cecilia,
dangliter and heiress of Alan de ^)unstanvi^e ; which
Alan married the dai^iiter of Reginald Fitzhenry,
eftrl of CoiDwall, and by " this marriage acquired the
property ^Tehidy, in Cornwall.
' lliere is a grant of lands from king John to William
-Ba«!((et,'aBdCer ilia, his wife ; atd, from the year 1150, Te-
hidy hi* been the residence of the family. By several
taiitmiages they Acquired lands in Devonshire ; and about
^e year 1556, the family branched off, and the eldest son

ty descc:nded tiirough the Beaumonts, and in that reii*
deoce tlie elder branch now continues — George, the lecond
son o^ John, became possessed of Tehidy by the gift of
his nephew, sir Arthur basset, who married Frances,
: heiress of viscount Lisle— James, the son of George, mar-
ried Jane, one of tiie daughters of sir Francis Godolphin,
. of Godolphin. In the time of Charles I. there were three
* brotiiers, sir Francis, sir Thomas, and sir Artbnr. Sir
Francis, the eldest, married Anne^ dau^^ter of sir J. Tre-
bwney, bart and was sheriff «f 0»mwaU during the
greater part of tlie rebellion, in which he manifested the
utmost aeal and activity in defence of his royal master.
$ir Thomas, his bi*otlier, was a miyor-general in the king's
service, and commanded a division of the royal army at
the battle of Stratton, when, with very iufeHor numben,
the royalists defeated the rebels. Sir Arthur was also a
major-general in the king^s aervice, and governor of St.
MichaePs Monnt, tlie property of bis brother^FVancis, aad
which was one of the last places that yielded to the par-
. liament. After the battle of Stratton, it is well known
tliat tlie Cornish royalists, under the command of the
gallant sir Bevil Granvil, by repeated victories, supported
the royal cause ; till at last, rather exhausted by conqn^t
than l>eaten fey the enemy, they were obliged to submit
to the overwlielroing torrent which destroyed both church ,
and state. Sir FV^i^cis Basset was with the kii|g at Le:tt-
vrithicl when Essex's army surrendered ; alter which event,
he says, m a letter to his wife, ** The king told me, in (h#
hearing of thousands, Mr. Sheriff, 1 now leave the coan^
of Cornwall to your care and protection.*' Owing to ma
expences m support of the royal cause, and his being
obiiued to compound for his estate with the parliament, he
was under the necessity of seHiog St. Michael's Moun^
and much otiier propeity. His descendants, therefore,
were much distressed for many years after thej^bellion.
By die marriages, however, of the great-grandfather of
lord De Dunstanville, with Miss Lucy Qele, and of his
grand^ther with Miss Maiy Peodarves, bodi heiresses, a
considerable acquisition of^ property came to the&inilyy
which was muck improved by the skilful management and
well-regulated economy of his father; Francis Basset--'
