His See also:mother, whose See also:maiden name was See also:Catherine Suckling (1725-1767), was a See also:grand-niece of See also:Sir See also:Robert See also:Walpole (1st See also:earl of See also:Orford).

William Nelson, written in 1784, speaks of the Walpoles as " the merest set of cyphers that ever existed—in public affairs I mean." His introduction to the See also:navy came from his maternal See also:uncle, See also:Captain See also:Maurice Suckling (1725-1778), an officer of some reputation who at his See also:death held the important See also:post of See also:comptroller of the navy. Horatio, who had received a See also:summary, and broken, See also:education at See also:Norwich, Downham and See also:North Walsham, was entered on the " Raisonable " when captain Suckling was appointed to her in 1770 on an alarm
Mahommed See also:Ibn Rashid at See also:Hail, and Abdallah Ibn Sa'ud at Riad, ruled in western and eastern See also:Nejd respectively, until 1892, when the former by his victory at `Aneza became emir of all Nejd.

No data exist for an accurate estimate of the See also:population; it probably exceeds 1,000,000, of which two-thirds may be settled, and one-third See also:nomad or Bedouin.

The See also:revenue of the emir Mahommed Ibn Rashid of Hail, who died in 1897, was estimated by See also:Blunt in 1879 at £80,000, and his See also:expenditure at little more than See also:half that amount.
