Book Description:
Archibald Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery, liberal prime minister , wrote this short biography of William Pitt, the Younger , the controversial young prime minister who led Great Britain during the terrible trial of the Napoleonic Wars. Lord Rosebery writes: "From the dead eighteenth century his figure still faces us with a majesty of loneliness and courage. There may have been men both abler and greater than he, though it is not easy to cite them; but in all history there is no more patriotic spirit, none more intrepid, and none more pure."
