Seller's Description:
Good. Cover has some wear and soiling. Center staples show some discoloration. 12 p. Small format pamphlet. Arthur James Balfour, 1st Earl of Balfour, was a British Conservative politician who was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from July 1902 to December 1905, and later Foreign Secretary. Entering Parliament in 1874, he achieved prominence as Chief Secretary for Ireland. From 1891 he led the Conservative Party in the House of Commons, serving under his uncle, Lord Salisbury, whose government won large majorities in 1895 and 1900. In July 1902 he succeeded Lord Salisbury as Prime Minister. He oversaw reform of British defence policy and the Entente Cordiale, an agreement with France that influenced Britain's decision to join the First World War. He suffered from public anger at the later stages of the Boer war. He resigned as Prime Minister in December 1905 and he resigned as party leader later in 1911. Balfour returned as First Lord of the Admiralty in Asquith's Coalition Government (1915 16). In December 1916 he became Foreign Secretary in David Lloyd George's wartime administration. He continued to serve in senior Cabinet positions throughout the 1920s, and died on 19 March 1930 aged 81.
