| 释义 |
Richard Wharton (c. 1765 – 21 Oct. 1828[1]) was a British barrister and politician. Wharton studied at Pembroke College, Cambridge and became barrister of the Inner Temple in 1789. He successfully stood as a Tory for the constituency of Durham in 1802, but his election was voided in February 1804, "his payment of the travelling expenses of the non-resident freemen having been construed as bribery."[1] He was elected again in 1806, and held the seat until 1820. Wharton was appointed Chairman of Ways and Means in January 1808, and Secretary to the Treasury in December 1809, a post he held until January 1814. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1810.[2] Samuel Egerton Brydges described Wharton as a man "of quick talents, much literature, and most pleasing manners, hospitable and open; a man of the world, of a handsome person and benevolent expression."[1]References1. ^1 2 WHARTON, Richard (c.1764-1828) 2. ^{{cite book|title=History of the Royal Society: From Its Institution to the End of the Eighteenth Century|year=1812|page=lxix|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BxZUAAAAcAAJ&pg=PR69}} External links
