time. See also:Lord Holland did not take the same See also:political See also:side as his See also:friends in the conflicts of the revolutionary See also:epoch. He was from his boyhood deeply attached to his See also:uncle, C. J. Fox, and remained steadily loyal to the Whig party. In 1791 he visited See also:Paris and became acquainted with See also:Lafayette and Talleyrand, and in 1793 he again went abroad to travel in See also:France and See also:Italy. At See also:Florence he met with Lady See also:Webster, wife of See also:Sir See also:Godfrey Webster, See also:Bart., who See also:left her See also:husband for him.

William IV. by Mrs See also:Jordan. Sir Godfrey Webster having obtained a See also:divorce, Lord Holland was enabled to marry on the 6th of See also:July 1797. He had taken his seat in the House of Lords on the 5th of See also:October 1796. During several years he may be said almost to have constituted the Whig party in the Upper House. His protests against the See also:measures of the Tory ministers were collected and published, as the Opinions of Lord Holland (1841), by Dr Moylan of See also:Lincoln's See also:Inn. In 1800 he was authorized to take the name of Vassall, and after 1807 he signed himself Vassall Holland, though the name was no See also:part of his See also:title. In 1800 Lord and Lady Holland went abroad and remained in France and See also:Spain till 18o5, visiting Paris during the See also:Peace of See also:Amiens, and being well received by See also:Napoleon. Lady Holland always professed a profound admiration of Napoleon, of which she made a theatrical display after his fall, and he left her a See also:gold See also:snuff-See also:box by his will. In public life Lord Holland took a See also:share proportionate to his birth and opportunities. He was appointed to negotiate with the See also:American envoys, See also:Monroe and W. See also:Pinkney, was admitted to the privy See also:council on the 27th of See also:August ,8o6, and on the 15th of October entered the See also:cabinet " of all the talents " as lord privy See also:seal, retiring with the See also:rest of his colleagues in See also:March 1807. He led the opposition to the Regency See also:bill in 1811, and he attacked the " orders in council " and other strong measures of the See also:government taken - to counteract Napoleon's Berlin decrees. He was in fact in politics a consistent Whig, and in that See also:character he denounced the treaty of 1813 with See also:Sweden which See also:bound See also:England to consent to the forcible union of See also:Norway, and he resisted the bill of 1816 for confining Napoleon in St See also:Helena. His See also:loyalty as a Whig secured recognition when his party triumphed in the struggle for See also:parliamentary reform, by his See also:appointment as See also:chancellor of the duchy of See also:Lancaster in the cabinet of Lord See also:Grey and Lord See also:Melbourne, and he was still in 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 when he died on the 22nd of October 1840. Lord Holland is notable, not for his somewhat

insignificant political career, but as a See also:patron of literature, as a writer on his own See also:account, .and because his house was the centre and the headquarters of the Whig political and See also:literary See also:world of the time; and Lady Holland (who died on the 16th of November 1845) succeeded in taking the sort of See also:place in See also:London which had been filled in Paris during the 18th See also:century by the society ladies who kept " salons." Lord Holland's See also:Foreign. Reminiscences (185o) contain much amusing See also:gossip from the Revolutionary and See also:Napoleonic era. His See also:Memoirs of the Whig Party (1852) is an important contemporary authority. His small See also:work on Lope de See also:Vega (18o6) is still of some value. Holland had two legitimate sons, Stephen, who died in 1800, and Henry See also:Edward, who became 4th Lord Holland. When this peer died in See also:December 1859 the title became See also:extinct.
