Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eminent Persons, Vol. 4: Biographies Reprinted From the Times; 1887 1890 The Earl of Iddesleigh, better known to his countrymen as Sir Stafford Henry Northcote, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and leader of the House of Commons in the second Administration of Mr. Disraeli, was bom in London in 1818. He came of an ancient Devonshire family, his father being the eldest son of the seventh baronet, and his name having been well known and respected in the west of England for several generations. As an illustration of this we may recall a pleasant little episode of the debates in the House of Commons on the Redistribution of Seats Bill during the session of 1886. A question arose as to the name to be given to one of the Devonshire county divisions. Sir Stafford Northcote, at that time leader of the Opposition, pleaded successfully, and amid the general sympathy of the House, for the retention under the new system of the ancient name of a constituency which in former times was represented by an ancestor of his own. Sir Stafford Northcote was educated at Eton, where he was among the pupils of a very well - known master - the Rev. Edward Coleridge. From Eton he went to Oxford and entered at Balliol. In Michaelmas Term 1839, when he was barely twenty-one years of age, he was placed by the examiners in the first class in Classics and the third class in Mathematics. Among his companions in the first class were Dr. Fraser, the late Bishop of Manchester, and Mr. Jowett, the present Master of Balliol, and late Vice-Chancellor of the University.
