On his return he was, though only twenty-two years of See also:age, at once elected M.P. for See also:Banbury, of which See also:town his See also:father was high steward; and he sat for the same town in See also:parliament for nearly See also:forty years. In 1759 he was chosen by the See also:duke of See also:Newcastle to be a lord of the See also:treasury, and continued in the same See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office under Lord See also:Bute and See also:George See also:Grenville till 1765. He had shown himself such a ready debater that on the fall of the first See also:Rockingham See also:ministry in 1766 he was sworn of the privy See also:council, and made paymaster-See also:general by the duke of See also:Grafton. His reputation for ability See also:grew so high that in See also:December 1767, on the See also:death of the brilliant See also:Charles See also:Townshend, he was made See also:chancellor of the See also:exchequer. His popularity with both the See also:House of See also:Commons and the See also:people continued to increase, for his See also:temper was never ruffled, and his quiet See also:humour perpetually displayed; and, when the retirement of the duke of Grafton was necessitated by the hatred he inspired and the attacks of See also:Junius, no better successor could be found for the premiership than the chancellor of the exchequer. Lord North succeeded the duke in See also:March 1770, and continued in office for twelve of the most eventful years in See also:English See also:history. George III. had at last overthrown the ascendancy of the See also:great Whig families, under which he had so See also:long groaned, and determined to govern as well as See also:rule. He knew that he could only govern by obtaining a See also:majority in parliament to carry out his wishes, and this he had at last obtained by a great See also:expenditure of See also:money in buying seats and by a careful eltercise of his patronage. But in addition to a majority he must have a minister who would consent to See also:act as his See also:lieutenant, and such a minister he found in Lord North. How a See also:man of undoubted ability such as Lord North was could allow himself to be thus used as a See also:mere See also:instrument cannot be explained; but the confidential See also:tone of the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

- KING, WILLIAM (1650-1729)
- KING, WILLIAM (1663–1712)
king's letters seems to show that there was an unusual intimacy between them, which may See also:account for North's compliance. The path of the minister in parliament was a hard one; he had co defend See also:measures which he had not designed, and of which he had not approved, and this too in a House of Commons in which all the oratorical ability of See also:Burke and See also:Fox was against him, and when he had only the See also:purchased help of See also:Thurlow and Wedderburne to aid him. The most important events of his ministry were those of the American War of See also:Independence.
e cannot be accused of causing it, but one of his first acts was the retention of the See also:tea-See also:duty, and he it was also who introduced the See also:Boston See also:Port See also:Bill in 1774. When the war had broken out he earnestly counselled See also:peace, and it was only the See also:earnest solicitations of the.king not to leave his See also:sovereign again at the See also:mercy of the Whigs that induced him to defend a war which from 1779

While still on shipboard twenty-five members of the company signed a See also:plantation See also:covenant whereby they agreed not to See also:desert the plantation which they were about to establish. Arriving at New Haven See also:early in See also:July 1639, they soon began negotiations with the See also:Indians for the See also:purchase of See also:land, and on the 29th of See also:September a See also:deed was signed by which the Indians conveyed to them the territory between See also:East River and Stony See also:Creek for " 12 coates, 12 Fathoms of Wampam, 12 glasses (mirrors), 12 payer of shooes, 12 Hatchetts, 12 paire of Stockings, 12 Jlooes, 4 kettles, 12 knives, 12 Hatts, 12 Porringers, 12 spoones, and 2 English coates." Other purchases of land from the Indians were made later. Before the See also:close of the See also:year the company removed from New Haven and established the new colony; it was known by the See also:Indian name Menuncatuck for about four years and the name Guilford (from See also:Guildford, England) was then substituted. As a provisional arrangement, See also:civil See also:power for the See also:administration of See also:justice and the preservation of the peace was vested in four persons until such See also:- TIME (0.
