Excerpt from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 109: January June, 1871
Henry or Harry John Temple, fourth and last Viscount Palmerston of the peerage of Ireland, was born on the 20th of October 1784. He derived his descent from the young er brother of that distinguished Sir William Temple who had Swift for his protégé, and William III. For his friend. He received his early education partly in Italy - in which country his father, a man of great taste in the arts, was accus tomed to spend a good deal of his time - and subsequently at Harrow, where he was contemporary with Lord Byron and Peel - and last of all, in St John's College, Cambridge. He succeeded to the title in couse quence of his father's death in 1802. His mother, to whom he seems to have been much attached, he lost in 1805. In 1806, being barely of age, he made his first attempt to get into the House of Commons, and shot high for the distinction. Young as he was, he aspired to represent the University, in which he was still only an undergraduate, and sustained, as he frankly admits that he deserved to do, a signal defeat. Nothing daunted, however, he fought and won a battle in the autumn of the same year at Horsham. But he won only by a double return; and, the House determining against him, he went back into private life a poorer man by some fifteen hundred pounds.
