Excerpt from The British Plutarch, Vol. 8 of 8: Containing the Lives of the Most Eminent Statesmen, Patriots, Divines, Warriors, Philosophers, Poets, and Artists, of Great Britain and Ireland, From the Accession of Henry VIII. To the Present Time; Including, a Compendious View of the History of England This illustrious statesman was born on the 15th of November, 1708. His grandfather was Thomas Pitt, Esq; some time governor of Madras, and who sold to the king of France, for 135,000l. the celebrated diamond, commonly known by the appellation of Pitt's diamond. His father was Robert Pitt, Esq; of Boconnock, in Cornwall. After having received a liberal education, he entered into the army, and became a cornet of horse; but he seems soon to have discovered, as one of his biographers has expressed it, "that the senate, and not the camp, the cabinet and not the field, were the scenes for which nature had destined him."

To the Present Time, Including a Compendious View of the History of England In 1684, after the demolition of Tangier, the earl of Dartmouth, general of the sea and land-forces, appointed him lieutenant of the Orford; from which time he kept constantly to the sea-service;but did not throw up his commission as a land-officer for several years after. In the year 1685, went lieutenant of his majesty's (James II.) ship Phoenix to the hall Indies; where engaging and boarding a Ziganian pirate, who maintained a desperate light, most of those who entered with him were slain, himself dangerously wounded, and the prize finking, he was taken up with scarcely any remains of life 3 but, by degrees, he was perfectly recovered. In the year 1688, being first lieutenant to Sir John All by, in the fleet commanded by the earl of Dartmouth, and fitted out to oppose the designs of the prince of Orange, he was in a particular manner entrusted and employed in the intrigues then carrying on among the most considerable officers of the fleet, in favour of that prince; and was the person commissioned by them to carry their secret assurances of obedience to his highness;to whom he was privately introduced at Sherborne, by admiral Russel. At his return to the fleet, the earl of Dartmouth sent him, with captain Aylmer and captain Hastings, to carry a message of submission to the prince at Windsor, who made him captain of the Constant Warwick, a fourth-rate man of war. In 1690, he commanded the Hope, a third-rate; and was second to Sir George Rooke, in the engagement oft Beachy-head.
