The Late Mr. William Edward Hartpole Lecky. 1903

For Sale is a Full Page taken from "The Sphere, October 31st, 1903," showing a Portrait Photograph of "The Late Mr. Willian Edward Hartpole Lecky. Born March 26 1838. Died October 22, 1903."

Mr. Lecky, who represented Trinity College, Dublin, in Parliament for some years, was also a Privy Councillor and a member of the King's recently-established Order of Merit. He was born in Dublin and had an Irish Father, an English mother, and a Dutch wife. He was educated at Cheltenham and Trinity Colllege, Dublin. His principal work is the "History of England in the Eighteenth Century," but his other writings, notably "Rationalism in Europe" and European Morals" - to give these books their abbreviated titles- make very fascinating reading.

Condition is Very Good.
