Lord Elcho - from a photograph by John Watkins, 1860. 'The active and prominent part which Lord Elcho has taken in the promotion of the volunteer movement is well known. With this object in view the noble Lord has during this year entirely forsaken the arena of Parliament, where he was not an undistinguished member, having been in the habit from time to time of bringing on motions which were of sufficient importance in their nature to excite attention and demand debate. The latest instance was in August last, when he introduced the subject of foreign policy, and brought together the last full House of the Session...In 1847 he was returned for Haddingtonshire, for which he has since sat. In 1852 he accepted the office of a Lord of the Treasury in Lord Aberdeen's Government, and filled the same office under Lord Palmerston, on the 5th of February, 1855, but resigned on the 21st of that month, on the retirement of what is called the Peelite section from the Ministry of that noble Lord, since which his tendencies have been rather towards the Conservatives as a party'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860.
