The Right Hon. M. E. Grant Duff, the new Governor of Madras, 1881. Engraving from a photograph by the London Stereoscopic Company. 'The Right Hon. Mountstuart Elphinstone Grant Duff, M.P. for the Elgin Burghs, who has exchanged the post of Undersecretary of State for the Colonial Department for that of Governor of the Madras Presidency...has been a well-known public man during more than twenty years past...In 1851, he was called to the Bar at the Inner Temple, and went the Midland Circuit, but did not practise much; he was elected M.P. for the Elgin District of Burghs in 1857, and has been an alert and active Liberal politician, but more of a political critic than a party man...Since the return of the Liberal party to office last year, Mr. Grant Duff has been Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies. He was Lord Rector of the University of Aberdeen from 1866 to 1873, and is one of the Committee of Council for Education in Scotland'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
