Oxford, where he graduated with honours in 1846. He entered upon a See also:political career, and was successively private secretary to Mr Labouchere (See also:Lord See also:Taunton), Sir George See also:Grey, and Sir See also:Charles See also:Wood (See also:Viscount See also:Halifax). In 1857 he was returned to the See also:House of See also:Commons in the Liberal See also:interest for See also:Penryn and See also:Falmouth, which See also:constituency he continued to represent until he became a peer on the See also:death of his See also:father in 1866. He was a lord of the See also:admiralty in 1857-1858; under-secretary for See also:war, 1861; for See also:India, 1861-1864; for the See also:home See also:department, 1864-1866; and secretary to the admiralty, 1866. When Mr See also:Gladstone acceded to See also:power in 1868, Lord Northbrook was again appointed under-secretary for war, and this 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 he held until See also:February 1872, when he was appointed See also:governor-See also:general of India. In January 1876, however, he resigned. He had recommended the conclusion of arrangements with Shere See also:Ali which, as has since been admitted, would have prevented the second Afghan war; but his policy was overruled by the See also:duke of See also:Argyll, then secretary of See also:state.

Lee in the See also:county of See also:Kent and earl of See also:North-See also:brook in the county of See also:Southampton. From ,88o to 1885 he held the See also:post of first lord of the admiralty in Mr Gladstone's second See also:government. During his See also:tenure of office the state of the See also:navy aroused much public anxiety and led to a strong agitation in favour of an extended See also:shipbuilding See also:programme. The agitation called forth See also:Tennyson's poem " The See also:Fleet." In See also:September 1884 Lord Northbrook was sent to See also:Egypt as See also:special See also:commissioner to inquire into its finances and See also:condition. The inquiry was largely unnecessary, all the essential facts being well known, but the See also:mission was a See also:device of Mr Gladstone's to avoid an immediate decision on a perplexing question. Lord Northbrook, after six See also:weeks of inquiry in Egypt, sent in two reports, one general, advising against the withdrawal of the See also:British See also:garrison, one See also:financial. His financial proposals, if accepted, would have substituted the financial See also:control of See also:Great See also:Britain for the See also:international control proposed at the See also:London See also:Conference of See also:June-See also:August of the same See also:year. A heavy See also:blow would thus have been struck at internationalism in Egypt. Mr Gladstone was not, however, prepared to give a British See also:guarantee of the interest of the See also:loan, and so Lord Northbrook's mission proved abortive. The £9,000,000 loan issued in 1885 See also:bound Egypt even more securely in international fetters (see See also:Cromer's See also:Modern Egypt, 1908, vol. ii. See also:chap. xlv.). When Mr Gladstone formed his third See also:ministry in 1886 Lord Northbrook held aloof, being opposed to the home See also:rule policy of the premier; and he then ceased to take a prominent See also:part in political See also:life. In 1890 he was appointed lord-See also:lieutenant of See also:Hampshire. He died on the 15th of See also:November 1904. He had married in 1848 See also:Elizabeth See also:Sturt, See also:sister of Lord Alington, and was succeeded as 2nd earl by his eldest son, who as Lord Baring had been M.P. for See also:Winchester (188o-1885) and North See also:Bedford (1886-1892).
