Hurrell Froude, Archdeaoon of Totnes, and she is a sister of Mr. Anthony Froude, the historian. Mr. MallodE was educated by a private tutor, the Eev. W. B.

He took, at Oxford, a second-class in the final classical schools. Mr. Mallock has never entered any profession^ though at one time he contemplated the diplomatic ser- vice. " The New Republic,'* most of which he wrote when he was at Oxford, was published in 1876, it having first appeared in a f rag- menti^y form in Belgrama. A year later he published " The New Paul and Virmiia." In 1879 he pub- lished Is Life Worth Living?" which first appeared in fragments in the Contemporary Review and the Nineteenth Century. In 1880 he brought out a small edition of "Poems," written, most of them, many years previously. The fol- lowing year he published ** A Bo- mance of the Nineteenth Century ; " and in 1882 "Social Equality: a Study in a Missing Science," the substance of which had already appeared in fragments in the JVtne- teenth Centwry and the Contemporary during the three previous years.

father, the second earl, Sept. 10, in that year. His lordship, as Se^e- tary of State for Foreign Affairs in Lord Derby's first administration in 1852, by being the first to recognize the French empire, con- tributed to bring about the g^ood understanding which, with slight interruption, subsequently exi^bed between Napoleon III. and the Court of St. James's. Lord Malmes- bury held the same position in Lord Derby's second administration in 1868-9, when he laboured zeal- ously to avert the war between France and Italy and Austria. On the formation of Lord Derby's third administration, in 1866, Lord Malmesbury, feeling unequal, <m account of failing health, to the labours imposed upon . a Foreign Minister, became Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal, which office he retained till Deo., 1868. He was re-api>ointed to the latter office in Feb., 1874, and resigned it Aug. 12, 1876.
