William See also:Pitt he turned his See also:attention to politics, and after his See also:election as member of See also:parliament for See also:Devizes in 1784 gave a silent but steady support to the'See also:ministry of his friend. By See also:close attention to his See also:parliamentary duties, he obtained a wide knowledge of the rules and See also:procedure of the See also:House of See also:Commons, and this fact together with his intimacy with Pitt, and his See also:general popularity, secured his election as See also:Speaker in See also:June 1789. Like his predecessors, Addington continued to be a See also:partisan after his See also:acceptance of 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, took See also:part at times in debate when the house was in See also:committee; and on one occasion his partiality allowed Pitt to disregard the authority of the See also:chair. He enjoyed the confidence of See also:George III., and in the royal See also:interest tried to induce Pitt to withdraw his proposal for a further See also:instalment of See also:relief to See also:Roman Catholics. Rather than give way on this question Pitt resigned office See also:early in 1801, when both he and the See also:- KING

king urged Addington to See also:form a See also:government. Addington consented, and after some delay caused by the king's illness, and by the reluctance of several of. Pitt's followers to serve under him, became first See also:lord of the See also:treasury and chancellor of the See also:exchequer in See also:March 18or. The new See also:prime See also:minister, who was specially acceptable to George, was loyally supported by Pitt; and his first important See also:work, the conclusion of the treaty of See also:Amiens in March 1802, made him popular in the See also:country. Signs, however, were not wanting that the See also:peace would soon be broken, and Pitt, dissatisfied with the ministry for ignoring the threatening attitude of See also:Napoleon, and making no preparations for a renewal of the See also:war, withdrew his support. Addington then took steps to strengthen the forces of the See also:crown, and suggested to Pitt that he should join the See also:cabinet and that both should serve under a new prime minister. This offer was declined, and a similar See also:fate befell Addington's subsequent proposal to serve under Pitt. When the struggle with See also:France was renewed in May 1803, it became evident that as a war minister Addington was not a success; and when Pitt became openly hostile, the continued confidence of the king and of a See also:majority in the House of Commons was not a sufficient See also:counter-poise to the ministry's waning See also:prestige. Although careful and industrious, Addington had no brilliant qualities, and his mediocrity afforded opportunity for attack by his enemies. Owing to his See also:father's profession he was called in derision " the See also:doctor," and George See also:Canning, who wrote satirical verses at his expense, referred to him on one occasion as " happy See also:Britain's See also:guardian gander." Without waiting for defeat in the House he resigned office in See also:April 1804, and became the See also:leader of the party known as the " king's See also:friends." Pitt, who now returned to office, was soon reconciled with his old friend; in See also:January 1805 Addington was created Viscount Sidmouth, and became lord See also:president of the See also:council. He See also:felt aggrieved, however, because his friends were not given a larger See also:share of See also:power, and when Pitt complained because some of them voted against the ministry, Sidmouth See also:left the cabinet in See also:July 1805. In See also:February 1806 he became lord privy See also:seal in the ministry of See also:Fox and See also:Grenville, but resigned early in 1807 when the government proposed to throw open commissions in the See also:army and See also:navy to Roman Catholics and See also:Protestant dissenters; in 1812 he joined the cabinet of See also:Spencer See also:Perceval as lord president of the council, becoming See also:home secretary when the ministry was reconstructed by the See also:earl of See also:Liverpool in the following June. The ten years during which he held this office coincided with much misery and unrest among the labouring classes, and the government policy, for which he was mainly responsible, was one of severe repression. In 1817 the Habeas Corpus Actwas suspended, and Sidmouth issued a circular to the lords-See also:lieutenant declaring that magistrates might apprehend and hold to See also:bail persons accused on See also:oath of seditious libels. For this step he was severely attacked in parliament, and was accused of fomenting See also:rebellion by means of his spies. Although shaken by the acquittal of William See also:Hone on a See also:charge of See also:libel the government was supported by parliament; and after the " See also:Manchester See also:massacre " in See also:August 1819 the home secretary thanked the magistrates and soldiers for their share in quelling the See also:riot. He was mainly responsible for the policy embodied in the " Six Acts " of 1819. In See also:December 1821 Sidmouth resigned his office, but remained a member of the cabinet without See also:official duties until 1824, when he resigned owing to his disapproval of the recognition of the See also:independence of Buenos Aires. Subsequently he took very little part in public affairs; but true to his earlier principles he spoke against See also:Catholic emancipation in April 1829, and voted against the Reform See also:Bill in 1832. He died at his See also:residence in See also:Richmond See also:Park on the 15th of February 1844, and was buried at See also:Mortlake. In 1781 he married See also:Ursula See also:Mary, daughter of Leonard See also:Hammond of Cheam, See also:Surrey, who died in 1811, leaving a son, William Leonard, who succeeded his father as Viscount Sidmouth, and four daughters. In 1823 he married secondly Marianne, daughter of William See also:Scott, See also:Baron See also:Stowell (d. 1836), and widow of See also:- THOMAS
