THE EDINBURGH REVIEW, OCTOBER, 1905.'1 No. CCCCXIV. ART. I.-LORD GRANVILLE. . 1. The Life of Granville George Leveson-Gower, second Earl Granville, 1815-1891. By LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE. With Portraits. In two volumes. London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1905. 2. Bygone Years. Recollections by the Hon. F. LEVESONGOWER. With a Portrait. London: John Murray, 1905. T Ir is seldom that two books are published, almost simultaneously, relating to two brothers, and furnishing so many points of comparison and contrast as those whose titles we have placed at the head of this article. The first, the life of the elder brother, is the elaborate record of a man who led the House of Lords for an unusually long period and who filled, with distinction, some of the highest offices of State. The other contains the genial recollections of a younger brother, who, at the close of an exceptionally long life, during which he has known almost everyone worth knowing, has given us his reminiscences of the men and women with whom he has mingled. In every page of Mr. Leveson-Gower's book we see the same love of the best society, the same appreciation of anecdote, the same kindliness and courtesy, the same liberal opinions which characterised Lord Granville. Yet, in other respects, there is a wide difference between the two brothers. Lord Granville was attached to his father's mission at Paris before he left Oxford; e entered Parliament almost as soon as he was of age; * he Lord Edmond Fitzmaurice says in the last year of the first 'arliament elected under the Reform Act. But this is an obvious istake. The first Parliament elected under the Reform Act met VOL. CCII. NO. CCCCXIV. U 'All rights reserved. was introduced to important office a year or two later; and for the next fifty years, when his friends were in power-and the days of Lord Granville were days of Liberal rule-he was almost continuously employed. His younger brother, on the contrary, though he served in Parliament, and was twice offered high office, has lived a life of cultured leisure. His sensitive diffident nature has shrunk from the responsibilities attaching to power; and he has given to society and friends the qualities which Lord Granville gave to country and party. Thus, while Mr. LevesonGower's book is a delightful record of society abroad and at home, Lord Edmond's pages contain matter of importance for the historian. We can commend Mr. Leveson-Gower's reminiscences to all classes of our readers; but we turn to Lord Edmond Fitzmaurice's volumes as a better subject for an article. It must not, indeed, be inferred that Lord Edmond's pages do not contain much that will interest the general reader. Lord Granville had a happy knack of describing in a few sentences the character of a colleague or of an agent, and of preserving some humorous anecdote. Here is his opinion, written during the Crimean War, of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe: 'We have an ambassador at Constantinople, an able man, a cat whom no one cares to bell, whom some think a principal cause of the war, others the cause of some of the calamities which have attended the conduct of the war, and whom we know to have thwarted or neglected the orders of the Government.' Against this severe judgment we may set his good-humoured account of Lord Palmerston's conversation with Lady Theresa Lewis on her husband's appointment to the War Office: 'G. Lewis does not much object, but his family and the public think he is a square man in a round hole. Pam argued the matter with Lady Theresa. He said his business would be chiefly civil. "He would have to look after the accounts." "He never can make up his own." "He will look after the commissariat." "He cannot order his own dinner." "He will control the Clothing Department." "If my daughters did not give the orders to his tailor he would be without a coat."" Or we may match the foregoing with Lady Palmerston's account of the nurses in the Crimea: 'Lady Pam thinks the Nightingale Fund great humbug. The nurses are very good now; perhaps they do drink a little, but so do the ladies' monthly nurses, and nothing can be better than them; in 1833 and was dissolved at the end of 1834. The second Parliament met in 1835. Lord Granville was returned for Morpeth at a by-election in 1836. |
