time in See also:Italy, whither he was led by his See also:great See also:interest in See also:art. In See also:February 1767, while his See also:brother, the 2nd earl, was See also:lord-See also:lieutenant of See also:Ireland, he was made bishop of See also:Cloyne, and having improved the See also:property of the see he was translated to the See also:rich bishopric of Derry a See also:year later. Here again he was active and philanthropic. While not neglecting his luxurious See also:personal tastes he spent large sums of See also:money on making roads and assisting See also:agriculture, and his munificence was shared by the See also:city of See also:Londonderry. He built splendid residences at Downhill and Ballyscullion, which he adorned with rare See also:works of art. As a bishop, Hervey was industrious and vigilant; he favoured See also:complete religious equality, and was opposed to the See also:system of See also:tithes. In See also:December 1779 he became earl of Bristol, and in spite of his brother's will succeeded to a considerable property. Having again passed some time in Italy, he returned to Ireland and in 1782 threw himself ardently into the Irish volunteer See also:movement, quickly attaining a prominent position among the See also:volunteers, and in great See also:state attending the See also:convention held in See also:Dublin in See also:November 1783. Carried away by his position and his popularity he talked loudly of See also:rebellion, and his violent See also:language led the See also:government to contemplate his See also:arrest. Subsequently he took no See also:part in politics, spending his later years mainly on the See also:continent of See also:Europe. In 1798 he was imprisoned by the See also:French at See also:Milan, remaining in custody for eighteen months. He died at Albano on the 8th of See also:July 1803, and was buried in Ickworth church. Varying estimates have been found of his See also:character, including favourable ones by See also:John See also:Wesley and See also:Jeremy See also:Bentham. He was undoubtedly See also:clever and cultured, but licentious and See also:eccentric. In later See also:life he openly professed materialistic opinions; he See also:fell in love with the countess Lichtenau, See also:mistress of Frederick See also:- WILLIAM
