372: 351: 1133:"The clock and watch tax formed, in the following year, part of the basis of the Triple Assessment, but was soon acknowledged to be a total failure. The yield fell far short of the estimate ; while the operation of the tax was such as nearly to ruin the manufacturers. The demand for clocks and watches decreased to such an extent, that in less than a year the general manufacture of these articles in the kingdom and the various branches of trade connected therewith had diminished by half, and thousands of persons were deprived of employment and had been induced to emigrate. In these circumstances no time was lost in repealing the tax. This was effected in April, 1798."—Stephen Dowell, 471: 1522:
increae in Enclosure Acts (stealing land from the common people and assigning it to the rich because they could afford lawyers to 'prove' they deserved it), the Poor Laws (nuff said), the Corn Laws (taxing cheaper imported wheat and grain when people were starving) and expand on the violence used in the trials of Thomas Hardy, John Thelwall and Jonh Horne Took. There is an article linked, yes, but consider, it was under Pitt's order's that Hardy's home was ransacked. Consequently his wife died in childbirth because of the shock.

father was an earl. He would have been entitled to the style 'Honourable' from his father's elevation until he was himself sworn of the Privy Council, at which point he became 'Right Honourable'. He was certainly never known as 'Viscount Pitt'. Even as heir presumptive to his elder brother, the 2nd Earl of Chatham, he would not have used that courtesy title, as at any time his brother could notionally have had a son. Courtesy titles are only ever used by the direct heir apparent to a peerage.

considered to be ideologically a Whig. The 1784 election was a national campaign, a rare thing for the time, but was really the Pitt Ministry vs the Fox-North Coalition, not a "Tory vs Whig" contest (and what would that make North?). The first prominent politician to actually call himself a Tory was George Canning later on. Whilst calling Pitt himself a Whig is very confusing, is stating "Political Party: Tory" no less confusing?
319: 461: 440: 257: 1528:" "For personal purity, disinterestedness and love of this country, I have never known his equal." Historian Charles Petrie concludes that he was one of the greatest prime ministers "if on no other ground than that he enabled the country to pass from the old order to the new without any violent upheaval....He understood the new Britain." For this he is ranked highly amongst British Prime Ministers." 233: 191: 638:, which claims to be written by experts but cannot really be seen as a scholarly source. A strange reference for such a statement, I think. I am not at all an expert, but it is doubtful that there is really a consensus: for example, this article mentions a scholar, James Sack, who "does not see Pitt as a Tory" (probably he tells that things are more complex, see 1068:, was formed in 1767, eight years after Pitt the Younger was born. It is unlikely that it was named for him, and the Pittsylvania page states it was named for his father. Consequently, I am removing this sentence from the section Places Named for Pitt in this article: Pittsylvania County, Virginia which has its county seat named Chatham. 267: 1242:
The recent addition of information about Pitt's relationship with Christopher Potter looks promising, but needs a lot of fixing up. I decided not to remove it altogether, but (1) the grammar makes it nearly impossible to understand what is being said (2) I wasn't able to find the book which was given

Sack summarises Ehrman's exhaustive three-volume biography of Pitt: "Thanks to the efforts of his modern biographer, John Ehrman, the outlines of Pitt's intellectual makeup are now as complete as we are likely to possess from evidence left by that undemonstrative statesman. Ehrman skillfully develops

As is so very often there is no reference to Pitts sanctioning of the foundation of Australia; not a mention of Australia it is high time people woke up. Most of the people mentioned in the Pitt Write up were Subscribers to Gov. Phillips book and were Whaling investors. Whalers being in Botany Bay
1007:
I am removing the bit in the intro claiming Pitt was the financer of the French revolution in revenge for the French King's support for the American rebels in the American War of Independence - as this doesn't sound likely - a) Pitt was sympathetic to the American cause, and like his father opposed
1554:
In the Infobox, the organisation of his terms of office (as PM), with two terms under one heading without an ordinal number, and one term under another heading with an ordinal number, is confusing. There is no reason obvious to the ordinary reader why it is done like that. I also do not agree that

Sorry, I'm not really a Knowledge (XXG) contributor, so I don't want to edit the article but I am 100% certain that the courtesy titles in this article are entirely wrong. Mr. Pitt was never titled 'Lord William Pitt', which is a style only used by the younger sons of dukes and marquesses and his
721:
The modern Tory Party traces its continuous history to the coalition which Pitt put together in 1794 (the Duke of Portland became Home Secretary and brought the Portland Whigs with him - this doesn't seem to be mentioned in the article unless I've missed it), but my understanding is that the name

I agree - it is appalling that this article makes no mention of the invasion and white settlement of Australia. Pitt presided over the establishment of one of the largest colonies to ever exist and one of the largest land thefts in history (the denial of sovereignty and land rights of Indigenous
898:
Given that it's a "meteoric rise" in the modern British government to be a junior minister in your early 30's, I think it's safe to say that this record will probably never be broken. It's actually fairly typical of the 18th century(if you were born in the right family); look at the ages of both
1365:
Note Australia the continent was not yet thoroughly colonised at time of his death, there were swathes of the land still unconquered where aboriginal peoples were living independently. Also Australia got claimed by Napoleonic France which was far from got out of the way at Pitt's death. Matthew

Pitt himself was the son of a prominent Whig leader, initially aligned himself in Parliament to the followers of Shelburne (considered a Whig), opposed the government of Lord North consistently (considered Tory) and on many issues such as parliamentary reform and religious tolerance he would be
589:
The main problem stems from a relative discontinuity between the eras of Queen Anne, George I and even George II when there's a clear Whig/Tory divide, and the early 19th century when a similar divide can be seen. But in the middle it's murkier and most groupings in the Commons are really based
1462:
The text referring to the Combination Acts says that they "restricted the formation of societies or organisations that favoured political reforms". I think this is getting confused with the Seditious Meetings Act. The Combination Act of 1799 and the amending Act of 1800 were about collective

Australians). Pitt's sanctioning of the disgraceful treatment of both the convicts and the Indigenous peoples of Australia is an important and interesting hypocrisy in the man's history, actions and character and deserving of proper consideration by this article.
802:
I am under the impression that the comment on the American revolution was made by Pitt the Elder, not Pitt the Younger. The date doesn't really fit the younger, wikiquote has it under the elder, etc. Also there are several copies of the "last words" quote here.
1531:
This is not acceptable. It's almost as though the current Tory government has even got its hands on Knowledge (XXG). Wouldn't that be shocking. Probably not. Amazing how Pitt essentially got the economy bck with heavy austerity and Cameron does the same thing..
1518:"He raised taxes to pay for the great war against France and cracked down on radicalism. To meet the threat of Irish support for France, he engineered the Acts of Union 1800 and tried (but failed) to get Catholic Emancipation as part of the Union." 585:
I'm not sure that there isn't a better page to discuss this on, but do we want to accept the traditional party allocations for Pitt, and indeed most other Prime Ministers for the latter part of the 18th century, or address the matter better?
966:
It is often customary, but not a golden rule, that politicians do not receive honours until they fully retire - and Pitt died while he was still prime minister. If he had lived longer he would probably have been made Duke of Bromley
153: 695:(Cambridge University Press, 1982)) and thereafter it was an unfriendly term of abuse heaped by opposition Whigs to ministerial Whigs rather than an accurate portrayal of the political principles of the person attacked.-- 1008:
British intervention to regain the colonies so would be unlikely to seek revenge b) Pitt took Britain to war with revolutionary France after they executed the King, an unlikely move if he had supported the revolution.

A lot of people would argue that Pitt was also a disgusting elitist and committed many crimes against the working class peoples of England. Some William Cobbet should be read to inform this article. Statements like

I agree, Pitt described himself as a 'Independant Whig' ie he was a Whig in the sense he upheld the settlement of 1688 but distanced from the leading Whig magnates such as Rockingham etc..

Pitt was also extremely concerned about his reputation. He was determined to be a politican uncorrupted by power or time in office, and thus refused a lot of honorary awards.

Someone has copied and added the arms of Pitt's father not his. He was a younger son so would (if he ever used arms at all) have born those arms with a mark for difference.

Rightly or wrongly, it's hard to imagine that "the denial of sovereignty and land rights of Indigenous Australians" were much of an issue in British politics at the time.
