The Duke of Newcastle, K.G. - from a photograph by John Watkins, Parliament-Street, 1860. Portrait of the Right Hon. Henry Pelham Fiennes-Pelham-Clinton...In 1834-35, being then Earl of Lincoln, he was a Lord of the Treasury in Sir Robert Peel's short- lived Government. In...1846, he was appointed Chief Secretary for Ireland...In 1852 he joined the Coalition Ministry, under Lord Aberdeen, as Secretary for the Colonies...At the breaking out of the Crimean War the Secretaryship for War was divided from that of the Colonies, and the Duke of Newcastle, having the option of the two offices, chose the Secretaryship for War...as is well known, he paid a visit to the Crimea in 1855 for the purpose of personally ascertaining the workings of the War Department...His Grace has long been an advanced but judicious Liberal in politics, while as an official his assiduity and devotion to the labours of his department are unwearied. Besides his more important office his Grace holds the appointments of one of the Council of the Duchy of Lancaster, Lieut.-Colonel Commandant of the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry Cavalry, and Lord Lieutenant of the county of Nottingham. The Duke has just been made a Knight of the Garter'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860
