Thomas Stanley (born circ. 1625, died circ. 1678) was the
son of Sir Thomas Stanley of Cumberlow, Hertfordshire. He
was educated at Cambridge, and occupied himself in literary
pursuits from an early age.
Mr. Stanley wrote a number of poetical works, and also made
several translations from Greek and Latin authors. In 1655 he
published a _History of Philosophy_ which during his lifetime
enjoyed a great reputation. His edition of _Æschylus_ was also
very successful. Several of his manuscripts are now kept in the
University Library at Cambridge.

Charles Stuart (born 2nd January 1779, died 6th November
1845) was the son of General Sir Charles Stuart, K.C.B., son
of the Earl of Bute. Mr. Stuart had an important diplomatic
career, and filled several high posts. He was Chargé d'affaires
at Madrid, Envoy to Portugal, Minister at the Hague, and
Ambassador to Paris.
In 1812 he was made a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the
Bath, and in 1828 he was created Baron Stuart de Rothesay, a
high honour, as the Barony of Rothesay is one of the hereditary
honours of the Prince of Wales. Lord Stuart was afterwards
Ambassador to St. Petersburg. He brought over from France the
beautiful castle of Highcliffe, Hants, where the German Emperor
recently stayed. He left no male heir, so his peerage became
extinct at his death.
