AUGUSTUS JOHN HERVEY

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 576 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
AUGUSTUS JOHN HERVEY , 3rd
earl
  of Bristol (1724-1779), was born on the 19th of May 1724, and entered the navy, where his promotion was rapid. He distinguished himself in several encounters with the' French, and was of
great
  assistance to
Admiral
  Hawke in 1759, although he had returned to England before the battle of
Quiberon
  Bay in November 1759. Having served with distinction in the West Indies under Rodney, his active life at sea ceased when the peace of Paris was concluded in February 1763. He was, however, nominally
commander
 -inchief in the Mediterranean in this year, and was made vice-
admiral
  of the blue in January 1778. Hervey was member of
parliament
  for Bury from 1757 to 1763, and after being for a short time member for Saltash, again represented Bury from 1768 until he succeeded his brother in the peerage in 1775. He often took part in debates in
parliament
 , and was a frequent contributor to periodical literature. Having served as a lord of the admiralty from 1771 to 1775 he won some notoriety as an opponent of the Rockingham ministry and a defender of Admiral Keppel. In August 1744 he had been secretly married to Elizabeth Chudleigh (1720-1788), afterwards duchess of Kingston (q.v.), but this
union
  was dissolved in 1769. The
earl
  died in London on the 23rd of December 1779, leaving no legitimate issue, and having, as far as possible, alienated his property from the
title. He was succeeded by his brother. Many of his letters are in the
Record
  Office, and his
journals
  in the British Museum. Other letters are printed in the Grenville Papers, vols. iii. and iv. (London, 1852-18J3), and the Life of Admiral Keppel, by the Hon. T. Keppel (London, 1852).
