1. William Pitt

   William Pitt born in Melbourne was an architect, public servant and politician working in Victoria, Australia in the later part of the 19th century and early 20th century. Although some of his grandest buildings have since been demolished including the Melbourne Coffee Palace and the Federal Coffee Palace, some examples of Pitt's architectural work remains today and he is still strongly associated with the boom era of Marvellous Melbourne. Pitt's roots were in the suburb of St Kilda, he lived, was educated there and lived there for some time and one of his finest contributions and surviving architectural works, the St Kilda Town Hall is one of the landmarks of the area. Pitt began his own architectural practice in 1879 and he became highly sought after during the land boom in Melbourne, working almost solely in commercial architecture and becoming one of the a prolific proponent of eclecticism, in particular the Gothic revival and Second Empire styles of architecture. His legacy can be seen in grand commercial buildings lining Collins Street, Melbourne. Pitt was also renowned in Australasia as a specialist in theatre design, particularly in interiors with works in Melbourne, Ballarat, Sydney, Adelaide, Wellington and Auckland. Some declared him at the time to be the greatest theatre architect in Australia.

1. William Pitt

   Earl of Chatham, an illustrious English statesman and orator, born Boconnoc, Cornwall, 15 Nov. 1708. The services to his country of “the Great Commoner,” as he was called, are well known, but it is not so generally recognised that his Letter on Superstition, first printed in the London Journal in 1733, entitles him to be ranked with the Deists. He says that “the more superstitious people are, always the more vicious; and the more they believe, the less they practice.” Atheism furnishes no man with arguments to be vicious; but superstition, or what the world made by religion, is the greatest possible encouragement to vice, by setting up something as religion, which shall atone and commute for the want of virtue. This remarkable letter ends with the words “Remember that the only true divinity is humanity.”
