I 2 I [Essays, p. 762), who likens him to a mole, says that " whenever a heap of dirt was flung up, it might well be suspected that he was at work in some foul, crooked, labyrinth below." Becky's character of him is its "Indifferent to the emoluments »f office, and unconscious of any remarkable administrative powers, he delighted iu tanning intrigues, inciting mobs, and inspiring libels." An anonymous contemporary pamphlet thus satirises him : " Had Lord T. not fastened himself upon Mr. Pitt's train, he might have crept out of life with as little notice as he crept ill, and gone off with no other degree of credit than that of adding a single unit to the bills of mortality." He said very frankly of himself that " he loved faction, and had a great deal of money to spare." He went by the name of " Squire Gawky," and H. Walpote (betters iii., p. 26n), says, in 1760, that " his person is ridiculously awkward," tho' Wraxall, in 1776, says "he bad nevertheless the air and appearance of a man of high condition," His portrait is engraved in Doyle, "after W, Hoare, 1760," the orig. being in the Nat. portrait gallery ; another, by Reynolds, 1776, is engraved by W. Dickiusou.
