Rousseau's Dog (39 page)

Hertford, Francis Seymour Conway, Earl of: 1718–94.
Brother of Henry Conway, nephew of Robert Walpole, cousin of Horace Walpole. Appointed Britain's first ambassador to Paris after the end of the Seven
Years' War, he took Hume as his private secretary. He left that post on appointment in July 1765 as lord lieutenant of Ireland but then became lord chamberlain to and close confidant of George III.

Johnson, Samuel: 1709–84.
Poet, essayist, journalist, parliamentary reporter, lexicographer, conversationalist, moralist, and clubman. His character and conversation are immortalized in Boswell's
Life.

Portland, Margaret Cavendish Bentinck, Dowager Duchess of: 1715–85.
Daughter of the second Earl of Oxford. She was married to the second Duke of Portland and widowed in 1762. She became an insatiable collector of natural history and fine arts (including the famous Portland vase), but her main hobby was botany, and she knew many of the renowned botanists in England. She was a devoted friend of Mary Delany's, sister of Rousseau's neighbor at Wootton, Bernard Granville, and went botanizing with Rousseau.

Pullein, James: ?–1780.
Rousseau's Chiswick landlord. Rousseau described him as an “honest grocer,” though he was probably a man of substantial means.

Rockingham, Charles Wentworth, Marquess of: 1730–82.
Wealthy and powerful Whig politician who became prime minister in July 1765 at the age of thirty-five, although lacking in any previous ministerial experience, principally as a consequence of the king's desperation to rid himself of Grenville. Contemporary comment went that his was “a ministry composed of the extravagances of youth and the infirmities of age.” His passion for horse racing also led to the sneer about the men “called from the stud to the state.” To the surprise of Whig grandees (including himself no doubt), his administration lasted a year and saw the repeal of the Stamp Act, though accompanied by an assertion of the crown's right to tax the colonies. He was dismissed in July 1766 in
favor of Pitt. The defeat in the American war and fall of Lord North saw him return to office briefly. Historians credit him with beginning the move from faction to party and with defining the Whig Party in opposition to the Crown. He brought Conway and Grafton into his administration. He also launched Edmund Burke's career (hiring him as private secretary).

Walpole, Horace: 1717–97.
Youngest son of Sir Robert Walpole and cousin of Hertford and Conway. Man of letters, collector, diarist, gardener, originator of the gothic novel, creator of the Gothic mansion at Strawberry Hill, M.P. (he spoke only once in the Commons), political mover, and wit. His letters, memoirs, and journal provide an invaluable guide to eighteenth-century society and politics.

… and postboys, editors, reviewers, anonymous letter writers, ministers, M.P.'s, clubmen, bishops, and actresses.

The following is a selective bibliography. Pride of place must be given to three masterpieces of scholarship and erudition, the sine qua non of research for any book that covers our subject: Maurice Cranston's epic three-volume biography of Rousseau, Ernest Campbell Mossner's comprehensive biography of Hume, and Ralph Leigh's Olympian edition of Rousseau's complete letters. Unfortunately, just as Rousseau died without having described his English sojourn in the
Confessions,
so Professor Cranston's untimely death occurred before he had completed his chapter covering Rousseau in England.

As well as the works listed below, we have also drawn on documentation from the Chiswick Library, The William Salt Library, the Lincoln Archives, the Royal Library at Windsor, the newspaper archive of eighteenth-century newspapers at the British Library, and the collection of eighteenth-century journals in the London Library.
