In 1613 he was admitted a student of the Inner See also:Temple
.
He first sat in See also:parliament for the See also:- BOROUGH (A.S. nominative burh, dative byrig, which produces some of the place-names ending in bury, a sheltered or fortified place, the camp of refuge of a tribe, the stronghold of a chieftain; cf. Ger. Burg, Fr. bor, bore, bourg)

.
In the See also:early days of his See also:parliamentary career he was content to be overshadowed by See also:Eliot, as in its later days he was content to be overshadowed by See also:Pym and to be commanded by See also:Essex
.
Yet it is Hampden, and not Eliot or Pym, who lives in the popular See also:imagination as the central figure of the English revolution in its earlier stages
.
- It is Hampden whose statue rather than that of Eliot or Pym has been selected to take its place in St See also:Stephen's See also:- HALL

.
Something of Hampden's fame no doubt is owing to the position which he took up as the opponent of See also:ship-See also:money
.
But it is hardly possible that even resistance to ship-money would have so distinguished him but for the mingled massiveness and modesty of his See also:character,. his dislike of all pretences in himself or others, his brave contempt of danger, and his charitable readiness to See also:shield others as far . as possible from the evil consequences of their actions
.
Nor was he wanting in that skill which enabled him to See also:influence men towards the ends at which he aimed, and which was spoken of as subtlety by those who disliked his ends
.
During these first parliaments Hampden did not, so far as we know, open his lips in public debate, but he was increasingly employed in See also:committee See also:work, for which he seems to have had a See also:special aptitude
.
In 1626 he took an active See also:part in the preparation of the charges against See also:- BUCKINGHAM
- BUCKINGHAM, EARLS, MARQUESSES AND DUKES OF
- BUCKINGHAM, FIRST DUKE
- BUCKINGHAM, GEORGE VILLIERS, 1ST DUKE 0E1

In See also:January 1627 he was See also:hound over to See also:answer at the See also:council See also:board for his refusal to pay the forced See also:loan
.
Later in the year he was committed to the See also:gate-See also:house, and then sent into confinement in See also:Hampshire, from which he was liberated just before the See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting of the third parliament of the reign, in which he once more rendered useful but unobtrusive assistance to his leaders
.
When the See also:breach came in 1629 Hampden is found in epistolary See also:correspondence with the imprisoned Eliot, discussing with him the prospects of the See also:Massachusetts See also:colony,2 or rendering
' An earlier viscountcy was bestowed in 1776 on See also:Robert Hampden-Trevor, 4th See also:Baron Trevor (1706-1783), a great-See also:grandson of the daughter of See also:John Hampden, the patriot; it became See also:extinct in 1824 by the death of the 3rd See also:viscount
