Reading progress update: I've read 314 out of 652 pages.

William Pitt the Younger: A Biography - William Hague

Hague only spent 14 pages on Pitt's involvement in the abolition of slavery.

 

14 teeny tiny pages.

 

One of the shortest chapters in the book so far.

 

I can only surmise that he left the details for his subsequent book on William Wilberforce, which I will read, too, at some point because I am enjoying Hague's writing quite a lot. (And that's something I'd never thought I'd say!)

 

Here's hoping Hague goes into more detail about Pitt's stance on Ireland.
