 [No title]
Horace was her youngest child, and was born in Arlington Street, on the 24th of September, 1717, O.S. Six years afterwards he was inoculated for the small-pox, a precaution which he records as worthy of remark, since the operation had then only recently been introduced by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu from Turkey.
Gray was haughty, impatient, intolerant of the peculiarities of others, according to the author of 'Walpoliana:' doubtless he detected the vanity, the actual selfishness, the want of earnest feeling in Horace, which had all been kept down at school, where boys are far more unsparing Mentors than their betters.
Horace Walpole disdained the honours which brought him such solid trouble, with such empty titles, and for some time refused to sign himself otherwise but 'Uncle to the late Earl of Orford.' He was certainly not likely to be able to walk in his robes to the House of Lords, or to grace a levee.

Latin, the "language of the dead," was Gray's "most intimate form of communication with" West; a thorough examination of the Latin poems with attention to sources, especially Horace, and Gray's concern with audience, concluding with "De Principiis" and English poems about West.

 Thomas Gray (1716-1771)
His school friend Horace Walpole – creator of Strawberry Hill and popularizer of the ‘gothick’ style – was the first great love of his life, and many of Walpole’s letters to him illustrate a ‘sentimental sodomy’ characteristic of the many bachelors in Walpole’s circle.
Gray’s second great love was the unfortunate Henry Tuthill, also a friend from school, who became a Fellow of Peterhouse in 1749, but who was dismissed in 1757 because of a homosexual scandal, and who eventually drowned himself as a result of his disgrace.
Gray wrote to Nicholls in January 1770: ‘I never saw such a boy: our breed is not made on this model.’ But Bonstetten had to return to Switzerland at the end of three months, and there was a painful parting.
