4th earl of Carnarvon (1831-1890), was See also:born on the 24th of See also:June 1831. He succeeded to the See also:title in 1849, on the death of his See also:father, Henry See also:John See also:George, the 3rd earl (180o-1849). Soon after taking his degree at See also:- OXFORD

Oxford he began to See also:play a prominent See also:part in the deliberations of the See also:House of Lords. In 1858 he was under secretary for the colonies, and in 1866 secretary of See also:state. In this capacity he introduced in 1867 the See also:bill for the federation of the See also:British See also:North See also:American provinces which set so many See also:political problems at See also:rest; but he had not the See also:privilege of passing it, having, before the measure became See also:law, resigned, owing to his distaste for Disraeli's Reform Bill. Resuming See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office in 1874, he endeavoured to confer a similar boon on See also:South See also:Africa, but the times were not ripe. In 1878 he again resigned, out of opposition to See also:Lord See also:Beaconsfield's policy on the Eastern question; but on his party's return to See also:power in 1885 he became lord-See also:lieutenant of See also:Ireland. His See also:short See also:period of office, memorable for a conflict on a question of See also:personal veracity between himself and Mr See also:Parnell as to his negotiations with the latter in respect of See also:Home See also:Rule, was terminated by another premature resignation. He never returned to office, and died on the 29th of June 1890. As a statesman his career was marred by extreme sensitiveness; but he was beloved as a See also:man of See also:worth and admired as a man of culture. He was high steward of the university of Oxford, and See also:president of the Society of Antiquaries. The 4th earl was succeeded by his son, George See also:Edward See also:Stanhope Molyneux (b. 1866).
