Baring - LoveToKnow 1911 The firm of Baring Brothers was founded by Francis Baring (17 4 o-1810), whose father, John Baring, son of a Lutheran minister at Bremen, had come to England from Germany, and started a cloth manufactory at Larkbear, near Exeter. Francis Baring was born at Larkbear, and in due course was placed in a London commercial firm. With the death of Thomas Baring, Edward Charles Baring (1828-1897), son of Henry Baring, M.P., and grandson of Sir Francis Baring, became head of the firm of Baring Brothers, and in 1885 was raised to the peerage as Baron Revelstoke. www.1911encyclopedia.org /Baring   (546 words)

Review: Lord Cromer: Victorian Imperialist, Edwardian Proconsul Evelyn, who was the eleventh child of his father Henry, spent his first years on the family estate in the fishing port of Cromer in Norfolk. Baring’s Gladstonian Liberalism had its limits: he had to defend opium exports to China as essential to the Indian budget and opined ‘we shall not subvert the British Empire by allowing the Bengali Baboo to discuss his own schools and drains. Baring’s initial request to slash the British garrison from 6,700 to 3,000 and withdraw it from Cairo proves his initial belief in early evacuation. www.history.ac.uk /reviews/paper/reid.html   (3067 words)

et - Full Story   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) Baring was said to be an extremely able administrator and financier as well as a disciplined hard-working man who was fanatically serious about his tasks, a trait which inspired great respect among his colleagues. At first Baring believed that the British were destined to leave as soon as the khedive’s authority was restored but within a year he had changed his mind coming to the conclusion that it would take a very long time, possibly centuries, before the natives understood and abided by the principles of Western civilization. Baring had a spontaneous contempt for the native population: he made no attempt to understand their mentality or cultural traditions and although he was fluent in French and spoke some Turkish, he made no attempt to learn Arabic. www.egypttoday.com /article.aspx?ArticleID=6475   (1285 words)

The End of General Gordon: Paras. 67-99. Strachey, Lytton. 1918. Eminent Victorians   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) For him Sir Evelyn Baring was the embodiment of England—or rather the embodiment of the English official classes, of English diplomacy, of the English Government with its hesitations, its insincerities, its double-faced schemes. Sir Evelyn Baring, he almost came to think at moments, was the prime mover, the sole contriver, of the whole Sudan imbroglio. In this he was wrong; for Sir Evelyn Baring, of course, was an intermediary, without final responsibility or final power; but Gordon’s profound antipathy, his instinctive distrust, were not without their justification. www.bonus.com /contour/bartlettqu/http@@/www.bartleby.com/189/401c.html   (9933 words)

The Collapse of Barings Alexander Baring, Francis's second son, outlined the philosophy that was to propel Baring's banking business through the nineteenth century: `Every regulation is a restriction, and as such contrary to that freedom which I have held to be the first principle of the well-being of commerce.' Margaret Thatcher would have loved him. Known as `Basher Baring' because he had demolished most of Stratton Park, one of the finest Neo-Classical buildings in the country, John was the first of the Ashburton branch of the family to rise to the top of the heap for some generations. Barings' management committee and departmental heads met for dinner twice a year to discuss prospects, and when one of them asked the chairman what the overhead for the group worldwide would be in the current year, Sir John deferred to Peter. partners.nytimes.com /books/first/f/fay-collapse.html   (5341 words)

Colonel Gordon and the Mahdi Sir Evelyn Baring (Alexander Knox), a Kissinger-like realist and cynic, sees politics as a way to advance the fortunes of his family bank using the leverage of his post as Governor of Egypt. Overseeing British penetration of the Egyptian economy was the aforementioned Sir Evelyn Baring, a man eminently qualified for such duties by temperament and family ties. Baring and a Frenchman were put in charge of the Ministry of Finance, an act reminiscent of making a George Soros employee head of the Argentine Treasury--an event that actually transpired not too long ago. www.columbia.edu /~lnp3/mydocs/fascism_and_war/mahdism.htm   (5011 words)

Al-Ahram Weekly | Books Supplement | Cromer's Egypt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) Appointed ostensibly only to oversee the evacuation of British forces from the country and the restoration of the Khedive Tawfiq, Cromer managed to entrench both himself and the British presence in Cairo, setting up a system of British control the last remnants of which only disappeared some 70 years later. Regarding Baring's role while British commissioner at the Caisse, Owen makes the point that, having handed over effective control of his country's finances to the European debt commissioners, Ismail had signed over much more than simply control over debt repayments. In particular, Ismail would be required to surrender all his personal property to the state in return for the institution of a civil list. weekly.ahram.org.eg /2004/688/bo5.htm   (876 words)

The U.S. Army Professional Writing Collection Officials blithely ignored barely concealed subversion until the scope and scale of communist attacks compelled the government in London to intervene. In contrast to the situation in Malaya, Baring was responsible for maintaining Britain's somewhat unjust colonial domination, a goal to which few Kenyans could subscribe from altruism. With constrained resources and flawed instruments, Baring had defeated an insurgency of larger scope and greater appeal than the one that had challenged the British in Malaya. www.army.mil /professionalwriting/volumes/volume4/june_2006/6_06_2.html   (6021 words)

BAYT AL LURD, April 29, 1999   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) Up until the fall of the empire, Cromer's successors ran Egypt's affairs in typical imperial fashion so that in February 1942 it was from the embassy gates that Sir Miles Lampson (later Lord Killearn) headed with a persuasive military cortege towards Abdeen Palace to offer King Farouk two choices: appoint a pro-British cabinet or abdicate. Cairo's corniche was barely two years old when Britain and France, in an unholy alliance with Israel, occupied the Suez Canal area in October 1956.
