William, See also:Lord See also:Paget de Beaudesert (1637—1713), a relative of his See also:mother, was See also:ambassador. Paget sent him, under care of a See also:tutor, to travel in See also:Palestine and See also:Egypt, and he returned to See also:England in 1703. He was estranged from his See also:patron by the " envious fears and malice of a certain See also:female," and again went abroad as See also:companion to See also:Sir William See also:Wentworth. On his return See also:home in 1709 he published A Full and Just See also:Account of the See also:Present See also:State of the See also:Ottoman See also:Empire, a See also:production of which he was afterwards much ashamed, and" he addressed his poem of See also:Camillus to See also:Charles Mordaunt, See also:earl of See also:Peterborough. In the same See also:year he is said to have been manager of See also:Drury See also:Lane See also:theatre and in 1710 of the Haymarket. His first See also:play, Elfrid: or The See also:Fair Inconstant (afterwards revised as Athelwold), was produced at Drury Lane in 1709. His connexion with the theatre was of See also:short duration, and the See also:rest of his See also:life was spent in ingenious commercial enterprises, none of which were successful, and in See also:literary pursuits. He formed a See also:company to See also:extract oil from beechmast, another for the colonization of the See also:district to be known later as See also:Georgia, a third to See also:supply See also:wood for See also:naval construction from See also:Scotland, and a See also:fourth for the manufacture of potash. In 1730 he wrote The Progress of Wit, being a See also:caveat for the use of an Eminent Writer. The " eminent writer " was See also:Pope, who had introduced him into The Dunciad as one of the competitors for the See also:prize offered by the goddess of Dullness, though the See also:satire was qualified by an oblique compliment. A See also:note in the edition of 1729 on the See also:obnoxious passage, in which, however, the See also:original initial was replaced by asterisks, gave Hill See also:great offence. He wrote to Pope complaining of his treatment, and received a reply in which Pope denied responsibility for the notes. Hill appears to have been a persistent correspondent, and inflicted on Pope a See also:series of letters, which are printed in Elwin & See also:Courthope's edition (x. 1-78). Hill died on the 8th of See also:February 1750, and was buried in Westminster See also:Abbey. The best of his plays were See also:Zara (acted 1735) and See also:Merope (1749), both adaptations from See also:Voltaire. He also published two series of periodical essays, The Prompter (1735) and, with William See also:Bond, The Plaindealer (1724). He was generous to See also:fellow-men of letters, and his letters to See also:Richard See also:Savage, whom he helped considerably, show his See also:character in a very amiable See also:light.
