  Charles Wyndham, 2nd Earl of Egremont - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Wyndham, 2nd Earl of Egremont (1710 – 21 August 1763), a son of Sir William Wyndham, succeeded his uncle, Algernon Seymour, 7th Duke of Somerset, as 2nd Earl of Egremont in 1750.
Wyndham was a member of Parliament from 1734 to 1750, and in October 1761 he was appointed Secretary of State for the Southern Department in succession to William Pitt.
His term of office, during which he acted in concert with his brother-in-law, George Grenville, was mainly occupied with the declaration of war on Spain and with the negotiations for peace with France and Spain, the terms of which the earl seems to have disliked.

Wyndham left Eton for the army; in barracks he "taught himself Italian, and filled his leisure with the reading of history and poetry." After this Coldstream culture there was a campaign in Egypt; later, service in South Africa accompanied by a copy of Virgil.
George Wyndham was not a man on the scale of Leonardo, and his writings give a very different effect from Leonardo's notebooks.
Wyndham was a scholar, but his scholarship is incidental; he was a good critic, within the range allowed him by his enthusiasms; but it is neither as Scholar nor as Critic that we can criticize him.

The 2nd earls son and successor, George OBrien Wyndham (1751-1837), was more famous as a patron of art and an agriculturist than as a politician, although he was not entirely indifferent to politics.
The earl died unmarried on the 11th of November 1837, and on the death of his nephew and successor, George Francis Wyndham, the 4th earl (1785-1845), the earldom of Egremont became extinct.

George was born into a wealthy land-owning family, who possessed farmland stretching from the south coast of England across to the Bristol Channel.
George quickly adapted to his new environment, though his young wife was less at ease with snakes and spiders and all types of creeping insects.
The story is told that George Wyndham had a lot of problems with the convicts being unable to read, so he identified the various sections of his cellars with very specific bin numbers.

 British Actor & Surgeon in Lincoln's Army
It should be explained that Wyndham, born Charles Culverwell at Liverpool in 1837, studied medicine in London, Dublin and Germany, becoming a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1857 and a Doctor of medicine at the University of Giessen in 1859.
Before attempting to piece together Wyndham's chequered military and theatrical career during those two years, it should be explained that 'contract surgeons' in the Federal Army were entitled to sign, resign, and re-sign at choice, and that Wyndham repeatedly chose all three courses.
Wyndham was initially ordered to the Washington area but within a few months was transferred to St Louis, Mo. A few weeks later he had 'had his contract suspended on account of his wife coming out from England and being near her accouchement'.

 The Red Badge of Courage: Critical Reception
Perhaps the most perceptive of Crane's English critics was George Wyndham, a Member of Parliament and veteran of the British army.
Wyndham was the only one of Crane's early critics to grasp the significance of narrating the novel from the point of view of Private Henry Fleming.
Given that Henry had enlisted in "hasty pursuit of a vanishing ambition," Wyndham suggested that Crane's "battle pictures" were used to dramatize the replacement of Henry's early "tinsel bravado" with his later discovery of "courage in the bedrock of primeval antagonism" (113).

Lloyd George retort that he makes use of all kinds of energy to get his work done, for one knows very well that he is far more at his ease with these third-rate people than with people of a higher and more intellectual order.
Wyndham was by no means a first-rate politician, but he was a sincere man, something too of a genius, and I think there was genuine inspiration in his method of solving the Irish question.
Lloyd George is "the man who won the war," he who did nothing to prepare for it, and suggested some things that might have made it difficult to be won; while Lord Haldane, who did prepare for it, and whose work did save the whole world, is cast out of office.

Today, Wyndham Estate wines are exported to 47 countries with total exports exceeding one million cases each year.
As Brett explained the original Hunter Valley vineyard was started by the English settler George Wyndham in 1828 - in fact, he said, most of Australia's leading wineries were begun by people from the British Isles and not, as is popularly thought, German or Italian settlers.
Although Wyndham Estate is now owned by the giant Pernod Ricard drinks empire of France, the concept of a global market is hardly a novel one in the Hunter Valley: George Wyndham began exporting wine to England and India in the 1860s, and winning prizes in Bordeaux.

On the other side of the issue, George Wyndham, in his edition of 1898, offered the strongest defense up to that date of the authority of Q1609.
Wyndham's study, in Rollins's summary, "upheld the text in nearly all particulars and tried to establish Sh.'s own responsibility for it" (2.7).
The basis of Lee's judgment involved his evaluation of the state of the text: "The corrupt state of the text of Thorpe's edition of 1609 fully confirms the conclusion that the enterprise lacked authority, and was pursued throughout in that reckless spirit which infected publications of the day" (40).
