The Hon. F. Leveson-Gower, M.P., Seconder of the Address to Her Majesty, in the House of Commons - from a drawing by Baugniet, 1854. British politician and autobiographer Edward Frederick Leveson-Gower. 'At the general election of 1852 he successfully contested Stoke-upon-Trent, which seat he still retains...Mr. Gower is of decidedly Liberal principles, a friend of reform, a consistent supporter of progress, and an uncompromising Free-trader. It is believed that on Tuesday he made his maiden speech, though he has been so long a member of the House; and he was somewhat rewarded for his patient study of the arena by his success on this occasion. He spoke exceedingly well; and the compliment paid to him by Mr. Disraeli was universally regarded as well deserved'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
