Under George I Hanover joined the alliance against Charles XII of Sweden, and Hanover troops were used as an arm of British foreign policy. His son and successor, King George II, also was pretty much utterly a Hanoverian. Curiously, he was on bad terms with his brother-in-law Frederick William I of Prussia, and his nephew Frederick the Great; and in 1729 war between Prussia and (British) Hanover was only just avoided. Around the time of these pamphlets (1743) George took up arms on behalf of the Empress Maria Theresa. In 1745 the danger in England from the Jacobites led George to sign the Convention of Hanover with Frederick the Great (although the struggle with France raged around his electorate until the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748). In England in 1742 Walpole fell, largely by Chesterfield's efforts... but Chesterfield remained in the opposition, distinguishing himself by the courtly bitterness of his attacks on George II. George learned to hate him violently. With Waller, Chesterfield waged an energetic pamphlet war on George and his ministers. By 1744 the coalition or 'Broad Bottom' party, led by Chesterfield and Pitt, came into office.

Extractions: Duke of Easy Chair October 24, 2003 12:43 PM The other day, somebody I know used the word "chesterfield". She immediately followed it up with "Oh, but I'm probably just sounding even more ancient, aren't I?" (She's going on 80 years old and likes to use the word "ancient" to describe herself.) Quite truthfully, if she hadn't said that, I wouldn't have given it a second thought. The word doesn't seem strange to me at all...although I realized that I never use it myself. The first word that comes to my mind is always either "sofa" or "couch". I decided to look it up to discover if it really was an "old people" term. I was also curious as to the origin. Said origin is apparently traced to the Earl of Chesterfield. I know what you're thinking. "You mean Philip Dormer Stanhope, the fourth Earl of Chesterfield, author of Letters to His Son ?" Well, no...and yes. This page clears it up a bit: According to Robert Hendrickson in the Encyclopedia of word and phrase origins , the term chesterfield is commonly applied to a sofa in honor of Philip Stanhope, the forth earl of chesterfield (1694-1773). However, Hendrickson points out that it is more likely that a latter earl of chesterfield invented them, which earl he does not know. But while Stanhope has our attention, you should definitely check out some of his choice
