George Granville, or Grenville, second son of
Bernard Granville, was born in 1667 ; he was entered
at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1677, and before
he was twelve years old recited verses of his own to
the Duchess of York when she visited the University.
He was created Lord Lansdowne, Dec. 30, 171 1,
and died Jan. 30, 1735. Johnson says of him, "he
had no ambition above the imitation of Waller, of
whom he has copied the faults and very little more. "

of Sir Henry Savil, the learned Provost of Eton.
P. 243, //. 27-8. — Cf. Walpole, Account of Lord
Somers, "one of those divine men, who, like a chapel

Tyranny, Corruption, and Folly."
