 Legge - LoveToKnow 1911
LEGGE, afterwards [[Bilson-Legge, Henry]] (1708-1764), English statesman, fourth son of William Legge, 1st earl of Dartmouth (1672-1750), was born on the 29th of May 1708..
Legge only shared temporarily in the downfall of Walpole, and became in quick succession surveyorgeneral of woods and forests, a lord of the admiralty, and a lord of the treasury.
Pitt called Legge, "the child, and deservedly the favourite child, of the Whigs." Horace Walpole said he was "of a creeping, underhand nature, and aspired to the lion's place by the manoeuvre of the mole," but afterwards he spoke in high terms of his talents.
