“. . . Moira has
done nothing yet. Everybody has refused him, but he is quite taken in by the
Prince’s cajolery, and there is no
saying what folly they may not commit in their selection of a Ministry. . .
.”
Francis Rawdon Hastings, first marquess of Hastings (1754-1826)
Educated at Harrow and University College, Oxford, he was a Whig statesman and
improvident intimate of the Prince of Wales; he succeeded to the earldom in 1793.
