Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our New Governor-General, Vol. 7 He married, in 1877, Alice, the third daughter of Mr. Robert Stayner Holford, of Weston Birt, Gloucestershire, a very charming lady, loved by all who knew her. Their Excellencies have several children. In 1896, Lord Grey became administrator of Mashonaland, a post which he held during the perilous period of the Jameson Raid, with all that followed it. Therein, it may fairly be said, the Earl; but lately come into his inheritance - his uncle, the third Earl, died in 1894, - won his spurs as an administrator, coming into intimate contact with such men as Cecil Rhodes, Jameson, and others. On us, as Catholics, His Excellency has claims to gratitude. A Protestant of strong convictions, he rendered generous tribute, and equally generous help, to the Dominican Nuns at Kimberley, during his residence in South Africa. But, as even stronger proof of his upright, honest liberality and courage, we have to remember that it was he who, some months ago, proposed in the British House of Lords, the total abolition of the blasphemous and iniquitous "Royal Declaration." As a safeguard to the Protestant Succession it was, he declared, superfluous, since that was provided for in the Coronation Oath. But he advocated its abolition, chiefly, on the ground that it offers a wanton, and most unnecessary insult to the convictions and consciences of many millions of His Majesty´s loyal Catholic subjects. For this, his Excellency has been attacked, by ultra-Protestants, and his appointment stigmatized as "not likely to strengthen the Protestant interest in Canada." Sensible Protestants will, doubtless, ridicule such calumny. Canadians, whether Catholic or Protestant, French, Irish, Scotch or English, Liberal or Conservative, will welcome His Excellency as "the right man in the right place," a worthy successor of his distinguished predecessors and connections, Lord Durham and Lord Elgin. "The "Review" tenders to Their Excellencies Albert Henry George, fourth Earl Grey, and Alice, Countess Grey, the respectful welcome, to Canada, of the Rector, Faculty and Students of the Catholic University of Ottawa. "Per me reges regnant et legum conditores iusta decernunt." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
