The late Earl Spencer - from a recent photograph, 1845. Portrait of British politician John Charles Spencer, 3rd Earl Spencer. 'Earl Spencer took great interest in agricultural pursuits, and up to a recent period held the office of President of the Royal Agricultural Society. His lordship was celebrated for the pure breeds of cattle he possessed, and was frequently a successful competitor at the exhibitions of the Smithfield Club, the presidency of which becomes vacant by his death...For his advocacy of free-trade principles, an attempt was made to eject him from the Presidency of the Royal Agricultural Society; but it was put down by the weight of his character, and the good sense of the majority of the members'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
