  James Stanhope, 7th Earl Stanhope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Richard Stanhope, 13th Earl of Chesterfield and 7th Earl Stanhope (1880-1967) was a British politician in the late 1930s as The Earl Stanhope.
In 1952 he succeeded his kinsman the 12th Earl of Chesterfield as 13th Earl of Chesterfield and 13th Baron Stanhope, but never used the more senior Earldom of Chesterfield, and continued to be known as The Earl Stanhope.
As he had no close heirs, both Earldoms and the Barony of Stanhope became extinct upon his death, but the Viscountcy of Stanhope of Mahon and the Barony of Stanhope of Elvaston passed to his nearest heir, the 11th Earl of Harrington.

He enjoyed rare opportunities, of which his readers had the full benefit, of access to unpublished sources; and although, as his Miscellanies attest, full of curiosity as to points of detail, he never lost himself in minutiae, or let slip the main threads of his narrative.
Before this, in 1861–2, Stanhope had produced a much superior work, in which the unpublished material at his command had once more stood him in excellent stead, the Life of the Younger Pitt, a biography to which he addressed himself with thorough sympathy and which will not easily be altogether superseded.
Stanhope’s lesser contributions to English historical literature are numerous and valuable, and the whole harvest of his life reflects high credit on his name.
