Ireland . In 1806 Mr . Grey , who by the elevation of his father to the earldom , was become Lord Howick , for the first time took office as a member ofthe Ministry , which was formed by the coalition of Mr . Fox and Lorcl Grenville . In 1807 he succeeded to the peerage , and took his seat in the Upper House as Earl Grey . From that period until 1830 he remained steadily in opposition . He became Prime Minister in 1830 , and during the four years which he continued in office he hacl the
satisfaction of carrying the two great measures to which he hacl devoted his life , viz ., Parliamentary Reform and the Abolition of Slavery . Since his retirement from office , in 1834 , he has taken no part in politics , but has resided principally at Howick in the bosom of his family . He is succeeded in his titles and estates by Viscount Howick , a statesman latin advance of his late colleagues in many points , and one who will worthily support the honoured name which he has inherited . The
proximate cause of his Lordship ' s death was an attack of paralysis ; but for some time past his health had been visibly declining ; the greater portion of his numerous family were therefore in attendance at the moment of his decease ; and it will be a melancholy satisfaction to his friends to learn that he quitted this life with as little corporeal suffering as could reasonably be expected to accompany the last struggle that human nature is called upon to endure .
