William Pitt, a youth five years older, was then in residence as a master of arts, studiously paying court to the Whigs of the university; and at the general election of 1780 he came forward as a candidate for the academical seat.
Pitts elevation to the premiership, his brilliant and hard-fought battle in the house, and his complete rout of the Whig party at the general election of 1784, when he came in for Cambridge at the head of the poll, threatened the great territorial interest with nothing less than extinction.
He affected to regard the domination of Pitt as the domination of the crown, and as leading logically to absolutism, and saw in that popular sympathy for the French Revolution which naturally arose in England an instrument which might be employed to overthrow this domination.

 Family Tree
William Pitt the Elder, Earl of Chatham (1708-1778), the well-known statesman and father of William Pitt the Younger, was secretary of state under the Devonshire and Newcastle ministries 1757-61, presiding over the victorious years of the Seven Years' War.
When he resigned in 1761 Pitt secured a peerage for her as Baroness Chatham (he later also adopted the title as Earl of Chatham in 1766) as well as a pension for three lives, which earned her the unkind nickname with the public of "Lady Cheat'em".
After Pitt's death in 1806 Chatham's career went from bad to worse: he was briefly considered as a possible successor to his brother as a figurehead First Lord of the Treasury, but his role in the disastrous expedition to Walcheren in 1809 utterly destroyed his reputation.

His Lives of Edward and John Philips, nephews of Milton (1815), his chilling tale of madness, Mandeville (1817), and his four volume History of the Commonwealth (1824-8) each represent his fascination with the republicanism of the civil war period.
Philosophically Godwin's greatest supporters were his contemporaries, such as Thomas Holcroft and John Thelwall, and a younger generation of men (and some literary women) who were attracted to Godwin's intellectual rigour and his radical critique of the social and political order.
