This early work by Charles Lewis Meryon was originally published in
1846 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory
biography. 'Travels of Lady Hester Stanhope; Forming the Completion
of Her Memoirs Volume III.' is the third of a three volume work on
her life and travels. Lady Hester Lucy Stanhope was born on 12th
March 1776, in Chevening, Kent, England. Her father was Charles
Stanhope, 3rd Earl Stanhope, and her mother, Lady Hester Pitt.
Stanhope spent her youth in Chevening but moved in 1800 to live
with her grandma, Countess of Chatham, at Burton Pynsent. Three
years later she became chief to the household of her uncle, William
Pitt the Younger, during his time as British Prime Minister.
Stanhope gained a reputation as an excellent hostess both for her
beauty and her conversation skills.
