		Henry Petty Fitzmaurice, 3rd marquess of Lansdowne (1780-1863), son of the 1st marquess by his second marriage, was born on the 2nd of July 1780 and educated at Edinburgh University and at Trinity College, Cambridge.

	\| From Famine to Five Points: Lord Lansdowne's Irish Tenants Encounter North America's Most Notorious Slum \| The ...
		Lansdowne owned 95,000 statute acres in various parts of west Kerry, but the bulk of his holdings (and those from which all of his assisted emigrants originated) was in the southwest corner of the county in the barony of Glanarought.
		Lansdowne tenants were so desperately poor that they would often nail shut their cabins during the summer and walk a hundred miles or more through the counties of Cork, Limerick, or Tipperary in search of work.
		With the death toll mounting, one wonders why Lansdowne did not consider financing the emigration of his tenants as a means to relieve both their suffering and his obligation to feed them (the government had shifted most of the burden for relief efforts to wealthy Irish landlords such as Lansdowne).

		Granville, Lord Lansdowne, does not quite deserve, even from a literary point of view, the neglect which has betaken him, and, to all who can appreciate the genealogy of poetry—a thing which has attractions far other than those affecting Dryasdust—is by no means negligible.
		Walsh was somewhat luckier: for his inheritance of the older time was in the ligher vein, and, perhaps, the critical power attributed to him, both by Dryden and by Pope, told him what not to attempt, and not to attempt too much.
		His work in verse (to which Johnson is somewhat kinder than he is to Lansdowne’s) is very small, but there are several pieces in it which are not anybody’s work.

		The link with Lansdowne led Baring to the Commons in 1784 when, at a cost of £3000, he was elected MP for Grampound, Devon.

		Lansdowne was still attached to the idea of Japanese assistance for Indian defense, and continued to press the Japanese to accept it.

		The absurd and, in fact, almost meaningless commendation of Stepney, that his work “made grey authors blush”—which Johnson quotes without assigning its author, but which he had printed elsewhere in its original context—is the chief thing memorable about him.
		Yalden, as stout a tory as Lansdowne, and a suspect about the time of Atterbury’s fall, wrote pindarics which are not the worst of that too generally bad kind, and fables which, though unequal, are sometimes quite light and good.
		Luckily for him, he did not, like Lansdowne, lay himself open to the charge of “profanity,” and Lansdowne’s censor has given him high and detailed praise for a Hymn to Darkness, apparently written in emulation of Cowley’s Hymn to Light.
