Description
The Right Honorable Warren Hastirgs, late Governor General of British India, one of llis Majesty's most honorable privy council , LL.D. and F.R.S., traced his descent from a very ancient and respectable family at Daylesford , in the county of Worcester, where his remote ancestors had for many ages held a considerable landed estate. This estate had been alienated in 1715, continued out of the family for two generations, and was re- purchased by Mr. Hastings in 1789. He was born in the year 1733. His father, who was à clergyman and enjoyed a benefice at Churchill, a village near Daylesford, in Worcestershire, seems neither to have inherited affluence, nor to have amassed a fortune ; and , dying while Warren was of tender years, left him unprovided for.
