Excerpt from Hobbes's Leviathan; Harrington's Ocean; Famous Pamphlets: A. D. 1644 to A. D. 1795

The death of William Cavendish, not long after his attainment of the Earldom. Left Hobbes free for a short time. And he went to France as tutor to the son of Sir Gervase Clifton, but he was recalled to Chatsworth by the Dowager Countess to take charge of the son who was now Earl of Devonshire, and he was but a boy of thirteen. With him Hobbes went again to Italy and France, made the acquaintance of Gassendi and Descartes, and fastened with fresh ardour on philosophy and mathematics.
