 George_Savile,_1st_Marquess_of_Halifax
Halifax has been generally supposed to have been the father of the illegitimate Henry Carey, the poet, but this is doubtful.
At the opening of the new reign Halifax had considerable influence, was made Lord Privy Seal, while Danby his rival was obliged to content himself with the presidency of the council, and controlled the appointments to the new cabinet which were made on a “trimming” or comprehensive basis.
Halifax spoke in favor of the Triennial Bill (January 12, 1693) which passed the legislature but was vetoed by William, suggested a proviso in the Licensing Act of 1692, which restricted its operation to anonymous works, and approved the Place Bill (1694).

Halifax spoke sixteen times, and at last, regardless of the menaces of the more violent supporters of the bill, who closed round him, vanquished his opponent.
Halifax opposed in 1682 Jamess vindictive prosecution of the earl of Argyll, arousing further hostility in the duke, while the same year he was challenged to a duel by Monmouth, who attributed to him his disgrace.
Halifax now worked to establish intimate relations between Charles and the prince of Orange and opposed the abrogation of the recusancy laws.

Indeed the readiness of Halifax in debate, the extent of his knowledge, the ingenuity of his reasoning, the liveliness of his expression, and the silver clearness and sweetness of his voice, seems to have made the strongest impression on his contemporaries.
Halifax was disqualified by his whole character, moral and intellectual, for the part of a demagogue.
Temple then saw Halifax, who talked to him much about the pleasures of the country, the anxieties of office, and the vanity of all human things, but carefully avoided politics and when the Duke's return was mentioned, only sighed, shook his head, shrugged his shoulders, and lifted up his eyes and hands.

His short tenure of power ended with the return of James in May. Outwardly he still retained the king's favour and was advanced to a marquisate (Aug. 17) and to the office of lord privy seal (Oct. 25).
The latter, instead of becoming lord treasurer, was, according to the epigram of Halifax which has become proverbial, " kicked upstairs," to the office of lord president of the council.
Detested by the Whigs and by the Tories alike, and defended by neither, the favour alone of the king and his own transcendent abilities proved insufficient to withstand the constant and violent attacks made upon him in parliament, and he yielded to the superior force.

In the Exclusion Parliaments of 1680—81 Halifax eloquently and successfully opposed the Whig attempt to exclude the king’s Catholic brother James from his right to succeed to the throne, and he was rewarded with the rank of marquis the following year.
But Halifax proceeded immediately to alienate James and his Tory supporters by insisting on strict limitations on any Catholic monarch and by engineering a rapprochement between Charles II and the Protestant Duke of Monmouth, the Whigs’ rival candidate to James for the succession.
To Macaulay, Halifax was the Trimmer and, despite any evidence to the contrary, he was to be regarded as the greatest statesman of his age.

With that object--of course clandestine--Sir Alexander Cochrane sought the permission of the Admiralty to employ De Berenger as a teacher of sharp-shooting, in which he was a well-known adept.
This was not granted, and near the end of 1813, Sir Alexander set sail for Halifax, leaving Lord Cochrane to follow in the _Tonnant_, in charge of a convoy, and in getting the _Tonnant_ ready for sea his lordship was busy during January and February, 1814.
Viscount Castlereagh complained that Lord Cochrane, instead of defending himself, had only libelled Lord Ellenborough and the noblest institutions of the land.
