JAMES See also:ROBERT See also:MANNERS, 7TH See also:DUKE OF (1818-1906) , See also:English statesman, was See also:born at Belvoir See also:Castle on the 13th of See also:December 1818, being the younger son of the 5th duke of Rutland by See also:Lady See also:Elizabeth See also:Howard, daughter of See also:Byron's See also:guardian, the 5th See also:earl of See also:Carlisle. See also:Lord John Manners, as he then was, was educated at See also:Eton and Trinity See also:College, See also:Cambridge. In 1841 he was returned for See also:Newark in the Tory See also:interest, along with W. E. See also:Gladstone, and sat for that See also:- BOROUGH (A.S. nominative burh, dative byrig, which produces some of the place-names ending in bury, a sheltered or fortified place, the camp of refuge of a tribe, the stronghold of a chieftain; cf.

borough until 1847. Subsequently he sat for See also:Colchester, 1850-57; for See also:North See also:Leicestershire, 1857-85; and for See also:East Leicestershire from ,885 until in ,888 he took his seat in the See also:House of Lords upon succeeding to the dukedom.

time before it went out in See also:June 1841. The Tories came in with a large See also:majority under See also:Peel, and among Manners's See also:friends who were successful in the constituencies, besides Gladstone, were Smythe, afterwards 7th See also:Viscount See also:Strangford, at See also:Canterbury; See also:Baillie-Cochrane, afterwards 1st Lord Lamington, at See also:Bridport; and Disraeli at See also:Shrewsbury. Cherishing many. of the ideas of the cavaliers of the ,7th See also:century, and full of See also:political and See also:literary ardour, Lord John was soon prominent in the social See also:group which revolved See also:round Lady See also:Blessington. In 1841 he committed some of his loyalist and other fancies to a See also:volume called See also:England's See also:Trust,-and other Poems, which he dedicated to his friend Smythe, and in which occurred the See also:familiar See also:line about " See also:laws and learning " and " our old See also:nobility." Before the end of this See also:year Manners had definitely associated himself with the " See also:Young England " party, under the leadership of Disraeli. This party sought to extinguish the predominance of the See also:middle-class bourgeoisie, and to re-create the political See also:prestige of the See also:aristocracy by resolutely proving its capacity to ameliorate the social, intellectual, and material See also:condition of
the peasantry and the labouring classes. At the same time its members looked for a regeneration of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

Church, and the See also:- RESCUE (in Middle Eng. rescous, from O. Fr. recousse, Low Lat. rescussa, from reexcussa,reexcutere, to shake off again, re, again, ex, off, quatere, to shake)
rescue of both the Church and See also:Ireland from the trammels inherited from the Whig. predominance of the 18th century. Manners made an extensive tour of inspection in the See also:industrial parts of N. England, in the course of which he and his friend Smythe expounded their views with a brilliancy which frequently extorted compliments from the leaders of the See also:Manchester school. In 1843 he supported Lord See also:Grey's See also:motion for an inquiry into the condition of England, the serious disaffection of the. working classes of the north being a subject to which he was constantly See also:drawing, the See also:attention of See also:parliament. Among other See also:measures that he urged were the disestablish went , of the Irish Church, the modification of the See also:Mortmain Acts, and the resumption of See also:regular , See also:diplomatic relations with the Vatican. In the same year he issued in pamphlet See also:form a strong Plea for See also:National Holydays. In 1844 Lord John vigorously supported the Ten-See also:hours See also:Bill, which, though strongly opposed by See also:Bright, See also:Cobden, and other members of the Manchester school, was ultimately passed in May 1847. In See also:October during that year he took See also:part in, and spoke at, the brilliant soiree held at the Manchester See also:Athenaeum under the See also:presidency of Disraeli. A few days later he and his friends attended a festival at See also:Bingley, in See also:Yorkshire, to celebrate the See also:allotment of See also:land for gardens to working men, a step, which, through the agency of his See also:father, he had done a See also:great See also:deal to further. About the same time Smythe dedicated to him his Historic Fancies as to " the See also:Sir See also:- PHILIP

grant in 1845 led, to a difference with Disraeli. Divergences of See also:opinion with regard to See also:Newman's See also:secession from the English Church produced further defections in the ranks, and the rupture was completed by Smythe acquiescing in Peel's See also:con-version to See also:Free See also:Trade. Lord John produced another volume of See also:verse, known as English See also:Ballads, chiefly patriotic and See also:historical, in 185o. In the same year he wrote the letterpress for an See also:atlas of coloured views by J. C. See also:Schetky; and he published several See also:pamphlets, one on the Church of England in the Colonies, in 1851. During the three See also:short administrations of Lord See also:Derby (1851, 1858, and 1866) he sat in the See also:cabinet as first See also:commissioner of the 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 of See also:works. On the return of the Conservatives to See also:power in 1874 he became postmaster-See also:general in Disraeli's See also:administration, and was made G.C.B. on his retirement in r880. He was again postmaster-general in Lord See also:Salisbury's administration, 1885–86, and was See also:head of the See also:department when sixpenny telegrams were introduced. Finally, in the Conservative government of 1886–92 he was See also:chancellor of the duchy of See also:Lancaster. He had succeeded to the dukedom of Rutland in See also:March 1888, upon the See also:death of his See also:elder See also:brother. He died on the 4th of See also:August 1906 at Belvoir Castle.
He was succeeded as 8th duke by his eldest son (b. 1852), who had been Conservative M.P. for the Melton See also:division of Leicestershire from 1888 to 1895; and whose wife, as marchioness of See also:Granby, became well known as a See also:clever artist, a volume of her Portraits of various distinguished men and See also:women being published in 1899.
