William Pitt the Younger died #onthisday, 23 Jan 1806, aged 46, victim of stress and alcoholism. His last words were (possibly): 'Oh my country; how I leave my country.' That thing about Bellamy's veal pies, I'm afraid, is total fiction: https://t.co/3Bbyh7yAvg #twitterstorians

"The Prince of Whales, or the fishermen at anchor" (1812): the Prince Regent depicted as a whale (subtle), spouting the "Dew of Favor" onto Spencer Perceval and his followers and the "Liquor of Oblivion" onto Grey, Grenville and the opposition. #royalty #history #twitterstorians

#Gillrayaday 29/9: "Extirpation of the plagues of Egypt" (1798). We've had this, but it's #Nelson's birthday. Watch out for those crocs mate
