William Pitt and National Revival, published in 1911 by the Cambridge historian J. Holland Rose, is the first part of his life of the younger Pitt, who became prime minister at twenty-four. Rose follows Pitt from his childhood and Cambridge years through his political apprenticeship, the struggle with Fox and the coalition, and the reforms of his first decade in power: retrenchment, the reorganization of India, the Irish question, the commercial treaty with France, the Dutch crisis, the Regency crisis, the settlement of Australia and Canada, the campaign against the slave trade, and the duel with Catherine II of Russia. The narrative ends on the eve of war with revolutionary France. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
