time on the See also:Continent, and in 1717 entered See also:parliament for See also:Seaford, See also:Sussex. Through strong See also:family See also:influence and therecommendation of See also:Walpole he was chosen in 1721 a See also:lord of the See also:Treasury. The following See also:year he was returned for Sussex See also:county. In 1724 he entered the See also:ministry as secretary of See also:war, but this 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 he exchanged in 1730 for the more lucrative one of paymaster of the forces. He made himself conspicuous by his support of Walpole on the question of the See also:excise, and in 1743 a See also:union of parties resulted in the formation of an See also:administration in which Pelham was prime minister, with the office of See also:chancellor of the See also:exchequer; but See also:rank and influence made his brother, the duke of Newcastle, very powerful in the See also:cabinet, and, in spite of a genuine See also:attachment, there were occasional disputes between them, which led to difficulties. Being strongly in favour of See also:peace, Pelham carried on the war with languor and indifferent success, but the See also:country, wearied of the interminable struggle, was disposed to acquiesce in his See also:foreign policy almost without a murmur.

king, thwarted in his favourite schemes, made overtures in 1746 to Lord See also:Bath, but his purpose was upset by the resignation of the two Pelhams (Henry and Newcastle), who, however, at the king's See also:request, resumed office. Pelham remained prime minister till his See also:death on the 6th of See also:March 1754, when his brother succeeded him. His very defects were among the See also:chief elements of Pelham's success, for one with a strong See also:personality, moderate self-respect, or high conceptions of statesmanship could not have restrained the discordant elements of the cabinet for any length of time. Moreover, he possessed tact and a thorough acquaintance with the forms of the See also:house. Whatever quarrels or insubordination might exist within the cabinet, they never See also:broke out into open revolt. Nor can a high degree of praise be denied to his See also:financial policy, especially his plans for the reduction of the See also:national See also:debt and the simplification and consolidation of its different branches. He had married in 1726 Lady See also:Catherine See also:Manners, daughter of the 2nd duke of See also:Rutland; and one of his daughters married Henry See also:Fiennes See also:Clinton, 2nd duke of Newcastle.
