In 1771 he published Principles of Penal See also:Law, and was See also:early recognized as an authority on commercial and economic questions, and in 1772 he was appointed an under secretary of See also:state. He represented New See also:Woodstock in the parliaments of 1774 and 178o, and Heytesbury in those of 1784 and 1790.

He was elected to the Irish See also:House of See also:Commons as member for See also:Dungannon in 1781 and sworn of the Irish privy See also:council, and while in Ireland established the See also:National See also:Bank. He advised the increase of the See also:secret service fund, and was reputed, according to See also:Lord See also:Charlemont (a See also:political opponent), as especially skilful in the arts of

The same year he was sent on a mission to Holland, and represented English interests there with See also:great zeal and prudence during the See also:critical years of 1790 to 1793, obtaining the assistance of the Dutch See also:fleet in 1790 on the menace of a See also:war with Spain, See also:signing the See also:convention See also:relating to the See also:Netherlands the same year, and in 1793 attending the See also:congress at See also:Antwerp. He retired from the public service in the latter year, received a See also:pension of £2300, and was created Baron Auckland of See also:West Auckland, Durham, in the English peerage. During his retirement in the See also:country at See also:Beckenham, he continued his intimacy with Pitt, his nearest See also:neighbour at Holwood, who at one See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time had thoughts of marrying his daughter; and with Pitt's See also:sanction he published his Remarks on the Apparent Cicumstances of the War in 1795, to prepare public See also:opinion for a See also:peace. In 1798 he was included in Pitt's government as See also:joint postmaster-See also:general, and supported strongly the income tax and the Irish See also:Union, assisting in See also:drawing up the act embodying the latter. In 1799 he brought in a See also:bill to check See also:adultery by preventing the See also:marriage of the guilty parties, and the same year took a mischievous See also:part in the See also:cabal against Sir See also:Ralph See also:Abercromby. He severely criticized Pitt's resignation in 18o,, from which he had endeavoured to dissuade him, and retained office under Addington. This terminated his friendship with Pitt, who excluded him from his See also:administration in 1804 though he increased his pension. Auckland was included in See also:Granville's ministry of " All the Talents " as See also:president of the board of trade in ,8o6. He held the appointments of auditor and director of See also:Greenwich See also:hospital, See also:recorder of See also:Grantham, and See also:chancellor of the Marischal See also:College in See also:Aberdeen. He died on the 28th of May 1814.
He had married in 1776 Eleanor, See also:sister of the first Lord See also:Minto, and had a large See also:family. Emily Eden (1797-1869), the novelist, was one of his daughters.
On the See also:death of his son See also:George, 2nd baron and earl of Auckland (q.v.), the See also:barony passed to the 1st baron's younger son Robert See also:John (1799-1870), See also:bishop of See also:Bath and See also:Wells, from whom the later barons were descended, and who was also the See also:father of Sir See also:Ashley Eden (1831-1887), See also:lieutenant-See also:governor of See also:Bengal. The 1st baron had two distinguished brothers—Morton. Eden (1752-1830), a diplomatist, who married See also:Lady See also:Elizabeth See also:Henley, and in 1799 was created 1st Baron Henley (his family, from 1831, taking the name of Henley instead of Eden); and Sir Robert Eden, governor of See also:Maryland, whose son, Sir See also:Frederic See also:Morton Eden (1766-1809), was a well-known economist.
Lord Auckland's See also:Journal and See also:Correspondence, published in 1861-1862, throws much See also:light on the political history of the time.
