	Charles Townshend - LoveToKnow 1911
		Charles was Born on the 29th of August 1725, and was sent for his education to Leiden and Oxford.
		The new chancellor proposed the continuance of the land tax at four shillings in the pound, while he held out hopes that it might be reduced next year to three shillings, whereupon his predecessor, William Dowdeswell, by the aid of the landed gentlemen, carried a motion that the reduction should take effect at once.
		Before this could be accomplished Chatham's mind became impaired, and Townshend, who was the most determined and influential of his colleagues, swayed the ministry as he liked, pledging himself to find a revenue in America with which to meet the deficiency caused by the reduction in the land tax.

		Townshend was dismissed in December 1716 from his place of Secretary of State, and was afforded in lieu thereof the splendid banishment of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, a gilded sinecure which he at first contemptuously declined, but finally condescended ultimately to accept on condition that he was not required to set foot on Irish soil.

	Who is Charles Townshend?
		Charles Townshend, who had been Secretary of War, was made First Lord of Trade two months before Grenville became Royal Premier of the British American colonies in 1763.
		The latter, at about the same time, with short-sightedness equal to Townshend's, introduced a bill for enforcing the navigation laws, which empowered every officer and seaman of the British navy to act as custom-house officers and informers, and so subjecting to search and seizure every American vessel on sea or in port.
		These measures for enslaving and plundering the colonists were proposed, and partially put into operation, at the moment when peace was established and the loyal colonies were rejoicing because of the honor and dominion which the war just ended had won for the British crown.

	Rt. Hon. CHARLES TOWNSHEND, His Character and Career
		By the time Townshend reached his thirties, his character, private and public, had impressed itself on contemporaries: its various facets were described and discussed; and there is enormous material to cover the last decade of his short life; but so far no serious biography of this seemingly protean personality has been attempted.
		Lord Townshend seems to have placed little trust in such declarations, especially when linked with requests for additional financial help, which he greatly resented; and while irate reactions of a parent on such occasions cannot be taken at face value, Lord Townshend's reproaches, seen in the setting of their correspondence, carry a measure of conviction.
		But Charles Townshend's unfounded belief that he could devise a plan for taxing the Colonies by act of the British Parliament which would prove acceptable to them, was to be repeated on later occasions - another example of his way of clinging to his own conceptions in disregard of reality.
