en-wikipedia-org-3504		Horace Walpole - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	6119	622	73	Horatio Walpole (/ˈwɔːlpoʊl/), 4th Earl of Orford (24 September 1717 – 2 March 1797), also known as Horace Walpole, was an English writer, art historian, man of letters, antiquarian and Whig politician.[1] Here he struck up a friendship with Horace Mann, an assistant to the British Minister at the Court of Tuscany.[19] In Florence he also wrote Epistle from Florence to Thomas Ashton, Esq., Tutor to the Earl of Plymouth, a mixture of Whig history and Middleton's teachings.[20] In February 1740 Walpole and Gray left for Rome with the intention of witnessing the papal conclave upon the death of Pope Clement XII (which they never did see).[21] Walpole wanted to attend fashionable parties and Gray wanted to visit all the antiquities. After Walpole's death, Lady Louisa Stuart, in the introduction to the letters of her grandmother, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1837), wrote of rumours that Horace's biological father was not Sir Robert Walpole but Carr, Lord Hervey (1691–1723), elder half-brother of the more famous John Hervey.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3504.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3504.txt
