 Powerhouse Museum | Stanhope printing press, c 1825
Earl Stanhope (1753-1816) was devoted to scientific enquiry, was free from the conservatism of the average printer and had greater resources at his disposal.
When Charles, the third Earl of Stanhope, invented the press which bears his name about 1800, he retained the conventional screw but separated it from the spindle and bar, inserting a system of compound levers between them.
The Stanhope press consists of a massive cast-iron frame formed in one piece, in the upper part of which a nut is fixed for the reception of the screw, the point of which operates on the upper end of a slider.

In 1870, earl Stanhope added a beginning or introduction to his History, entitled The reign of Queen Anne up to the Peace of Utrecht.
Before this, in 1861–2, Stanhope had produced a much superior work, in which the unpublished material at his command had once more stood him in excellent stead, the Life of the Younger Pitt, a biography to which he addressed himself with thorough sympathy and which will not easily be altogether superseded.
Stanhope’s lesser contributions to English historical literature are numerous and valuable, and the whole harvest of his life reflects high credit on his name.

She was born in 1776, the eldest daughter of that extraordinary Earl Stanhope, Jacobin and inventor, who made the first steamboat and the first calculating machine, who defended the French Revolution in the House of Lords and erased the armorial bearings—" damned aristocratical non-sense "—from his carriages and his plate.
The second Lady Stanhope, a frigid woman of fashion, left her stepdaughters to the care of futile governesses, while " Citizen Stanhope " ruled the household from his laboratory with the violence of a tyrant.

Chesterfield's fame as a man of letters rests upon a series of letters, published after his death, that give a faithful account of the manners and customs of aristocratic society in 18th-century England, written in a graceful and witty style.
A second series, Letters to His Godson (1890), was addressed to another Philip Stanhope, a distant cousin and godson whom Chesterfield adopted as his heir after the death of his son.
