Salisbury, Marquis of

He was born in Oct, 1861, and is the descendant of a family of statesmen and politicians, ranging from the Sir William Cecil of Queen Mary's time, and the famous Lord Burleigh of Queen Elizabeth's reign, to Marquis and Premier, whose eldest son the present Lord Salisbury is. He was MP for the Darwen Division of Lancashire from 1885 to 1892, and represented Rochester from 1893 until he succeeded to the Peerage. While in the Commons Lord Cranborne, to give him his then courtesy title, was a constant attendant, a hard working Member of many Committees, a regular supporter of the Conservative Government, and a good, though sometimes blunt, speaker. He identified himself mainly with Church matters, and was appointed chairman of the Church Parliamentary Committee in 1893, a post which he occupied until he became Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs in 1900; he also showed great Parliamentary interest in agricultural and Volunteer questions. In 1903 he went to South Africa as Colonel of the 4th Battalion Bedfordshire Regiment, his services being mentioned in despatches. Returning to England, he became Lord Privy Seal, and in March, 1905, he succeeded Mr Gerald Balfour as President of the Board of Trade.
