died Dec. 4, 1828, Fife House, Whitehall, London
British prime minister (1812–27).
He entered the House of Commons in 1790 and became a leading
Tory, serving as foreign secretary (1801–04),
home secretary (1804–06, 1807–09), and secretary for war and the colonies (1809–12). The
War of 1812 with the U.S. and the final campaigns of the
