John Addington Symonds Jr. (/ ˈ s ɪ m ən d z /; 5 October 1840 – 19 April 1893) was an English poet and literary critic. A cultural historian, he was known for his work on the Renaissance , as well as numerous biographies of writers and artists.
Henry Addington is remembered as an interlude in Pitt’s long tenure. His government negotiated the Treaty of Amiens in 1802, briefly ending the war with France, only to declare war again in 1803. After the declaration of war, Addington mobilised resources and reestablished income tax to fund the war (in a more efficient way than his predecessor).
Addington, who had no ambition for higher office, agreed to become Prime Minister only because his predecessor, William Pitt the Younger, and King George III insisted. He immediately faced the serious and difficult challenge of leading a relatively inexperienced Cabinet to deal with a series of military, diplomatic, economic and social crises caused by war and famine.
