hall of the See also:corporation of the See also:city of See also:London, See also:England. It faces a courtyard opening out of See also:Gresham See also:Street. The date of its See also:original See also:foundation is not known. An See also:ancient See also:crypt remains, but the hall has otherwise undergone much alteration. It was rebuilt in 1411, beautified by the munificence of successive officials, damaged in the See also:Great See also:Fire of 1666, and restored in 1789 by See also:George See also:Dance; while the hall was again restored, with a new roof, in 1870. This See also:fine chamber, 152 ft. in length, is the See also:scene of the See also:state banquets and entertainments of the corporation, and of the municipal meetings " in See also:common hall." The See also:building also contains a See also:council chamber and various See also:court rooms, with a splendid library, open to the public, a museum and See also:art See also:gallery adjoining. The hall contains several monuments and two See also:giant figures of See also:wood,
known as See also:Gog and Magog. These were set up in 1708, but the he knew to be both hopeless and impolitic. At last, in See also:March 1782, he insisted on resigning after the See also:news of See also:Cornwallis's surrender at See also:Yorktown, and no See also:man See also:left 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 ")

Oxford, See also:lord-See also:lieutenant of the See also:county of See also:Somerset, and had finally been made a See also:knight of the Garter, an See also:honour which has only been conferred on three other members of the See also:House of See also:Commons, See also:Sir R. See also:Walpole, Lord Castlereagh and Lord See also:Palmerston. Lord North did not remain See also:long out of office, but in See also:April 1783 formed his famous See also:coalition with his old subordinate, C. J. See also:Fox (q.v.), and became secretary of state with him under the nominal premiership of the See also:duke of See also:Portland. He was probably urged to this coalition with his old opponent by a See also:desire to show that he could See also:act independently of the king, and was not a See also:mere royal See also:mouthpiece. The coalition See also:ministry went out of office on Fox's See also:India See also:Bill in See also:December 1783, and Lord North, who was losing his sight, then finally gave up See also:political ambition. He played, when quite See also:blind, a somewhat important See also:part in the debates on the Regency Bill in 1789, and in the next See also:year succeeded his See also:father as See also:earl of See also:Guilford. He did not long survive his See also:elevation, and died peacefully on the 5th of See also:August 1792. It is impossible to consider Lord North a great statesman, but he was a most good-tempered and humorous member of the House of Commons. In a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time of unexampled party feeling he won the esteem and almost the love of his most See also:bitter opponents. See also:Burke finely sums up his See also:character in his See also:Letter to a See also:Noble Lord: " He was a man of admirable parts, of See also:general knowledge, of a versatile understanding, fitted for every sort of business; of See also:infinite wit and pleasantry, of a delightful See also:temper, and with a mind most disinterested. But it would be only to degrade myself," he continues, " by a weak adulation, and not to honour the memory of a great man, to deny that he wanted something of the vigilance and spirit of command which the times required."

White Lackington, Somerset, Guilford had four sons, the eldest of whom, George See also:Augustus (1757—1802), became 3rd earl on his father's See also:death. This earl was a member of See also:parliament from 1778 to 1792 and was a member of his father's ministry and also of the royal See also:household; he left no sons when he died on the loth of April 1802 and was succeeded in the earldom by his brother See also:Francis (1761—1817), who also left no sons. The youngest brother, See also:Frederick (1766—1827), who now became 5th earl of Guilford, was remarkable for his great knowledge and love of See also:Greece and of the See also:Greek See also:language. He had a good See also:deal to do with the foundation of the Ionian university at See also:Corfu, of which he was the first chancellor and to which he was very liberal. Guilford, who was See also:governor of See also:Ceylon from 1798 to 1805, died unmarried on the 14th of See also:October 1827. His See also:cousin, Francis (1772—1861), a son of Brownlow North, bishop of Winchester from 1781 to 1820, was the 6th earl, and the latter's descendant, Frederick George (b. 1876), became 8th earl in 1886.
On the death of the 3rd earl of Guilford in 1802 the See also:barony of North See also:fell into See also:abeyance between his three daughters, the survivor of whom, Susan (1797—1884), wife of See also:John See also:Sidney See also:Doyle, who took the name of North, was declared by the House of Lords in 1841 to be Baroness North, and the See also:title passed to her son, See also:- WILLIAM
