	Great Officers Of State - LoveToKnow 1911
		The four offices of the high steward, the great chamberlain, the high constable, and the earl marshal stand on a different footing, and can be regarded at the present day as little else than survivals from an earlier condition of society.
		They have practically ceased to have any relation to the ordinary routine of business in the country or of ceremonial in the palace, and the duties associated with them have either passed entirely into abeyance or are restricted within extremely narrow limits, save on certain occasions of exceptional pomp and solemnity.
		These and the more important foreign great offices of state are all dealt with under their proper headings, and other information will be found in the articles Cabinet, Ministry, Privy Council, Treasury, and Household, Royal.

	Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England was formerly an officer of the English Crown charged with physical custody of the Great Seal of England.
		The office of chancellor from the time of Becket onwards varied much in importance; the holder being an ecclesiastic, he was not only engaged in the business of his diocese, but sometimes was away from England.
		He was usually, though not necessarily, a peer, and held office during the king's pleasure, he was appointed merely by delivery of the seal, and not, like the chancellor, by patent.

		The great practical evil connected with Roman jurisprudence was the intricacy and perplexity and uncertainty of the laws, together with the expense involved in litigation.
		The great thickness of the columns, the beautiful entablature, the ample proportion of the capital, the great horizontal lines of the architrave and cornice predominating over the vertical lines of the columns, the severity of geometrical forms produced for the most part by straight lines, gave an imposing simplicity to the Doric temple.
		His great work in that wonderful edifice was the statue of the goddess Minerva herself, made of gold and ivory, forty feet in height, standing victorious, with a spear in her left hand and an image of victory in her right, with helmet on her head, and her shield resting by her side.

		The Great Offices of Lord High Steward, Lord Great Chamberlain, Lord High Constable and Earl Marshal were traditionally hereditary, while the other five were appointed for limited periods.
		However, the offices of Lord High Steward and Lord High Constable fell out of use in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and the offices are now "called out of abeyance" only for the day of coronations.
		Thus, there are really only five Great Officers of State, and there may soon be four, for Tony Blair's Government has announced plans to abolish the post of Lord Chancellor.

		Great care was also bestowed on his military education, of the last importance in a state which, with its professions of peace and good-will, was ever at war for the acquisition of empire.
		Such a state of things might be supposed to be fatal to any thing like attachment to the soil, or to that desire of improving it, which is natural to the permanent proprietor, and hardly less so to the holder of a long lease.
		The great mass of the soldiery were dressed in the peculiar costume of their provinces, and their heads were wreathed with a sort of turban or roll of different-colored cloths, that produced a gay and animating effect.

	Lord Keeper of the Great Seal
		Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England, and later of Great Britain was formerly an officer of the English Crown charged with physical custody of the Great Seal of England.
		Consequently, it became not unusual to place the personal custody of the great seal in the hands of a vice-chancellor or keeper; this, too, was the practice followed during a temporary vacancy in the chancellorship.
		This office gradually developed into a permanent appointment, and the lord keeper acquired the right of discharging all the duties connected with the great seal.

		Entails are thought necessary for maintaining this exclusive privilege of the nobility to the great offices and honours of their country; and that order having usurped one unjust advantage over the rest of their fellow citizens, lest their poverty should render it ridiculous, it is thought reasonable that they should have another.
		Great tracts of uncultivated land were, in this manner, not only engrossed by particular families, but the possibility of their being divided again was as much as possible precluded for ever.
		He is said to have done so with great equity, though without any of the formalities of justice; and it is not improbable that the state of that part of the country at that time made it necessary for him to assume this authority in order to maintain the public peace.

		The Secretary of State is the filing official for all candidates seeking an office to be voted for by the electors of more than one (1) county, members of Congress, members of the General Assembly and for all candidates seeking an office of the Court of Justice.

		In England it is the slander of the great men, the nobility of the realm.
		But during the reign of James I, the Court of Star Chamber held that in the case of a public prosecution for defamation "that the truth of the libel could not be shown by way of justification, because, whether true or false, it was equally dangerous to the public peace".
		Thus the "Great Men of the Realm", which included all members of the peerage, judges, church officials, the holders of the Great Offices of state, indeed any individual in a position of authority within the British state, were theoretically protected from any criticism.

		The Archbishop of Canterbury holds one of the Great Offices of State as Lord Primate of All England, and of course predates the monarchy, or at least the monarchy of a unified England circa Alfred the Great in the ninth century.
		I say "that is regularly occupied" because the Offices of Lord High Steward and Lord High Constable have never technically been abolished, and still come to existence for the funeral of a monarch and the coronation of the next one.
		Each of these offices, unlike the Lord Chancellorship, was a secular office from the start, held by a layman, while until the 16th century all Lord Chancellors were priests (the last such, Cardinal Wolsey, having the distinction of being both Lord Chancellor AND Archbishop of York at the same time).

		The one great idea attributed to him was: "America for the Americans." He was succeeded, however, by a man of fine attainments and large experience, who had passed through the great offices of State with distinguished credit.
		It was a period of great tranquillity, fitted for the development of the peaceful arts, and of internal improvements in the land, rather than of genius in the presidential chair.
		His acceptance of the office of Secretary of State was probably a blunder, as his appointment was (though unjustly) thought by many to be in fulfilment of a bargain, and it did not advance his popularity.

		Nonetheless, he rose steadily through the party in opposition: by 1963, his reputation was sufficient for him to challenge (unsuccessfully) for the leadership when Hugh Gaistkell died, and by 1964 he was ushered into the first of the four great offices of state as Chancellor.
		His famous 1976 Ruskin College speech, launching the 'great debate' on education and outlining plans for a national curriculum and more rigorous inspection of teaching standards was the first stirrings of what was to become mainstream thinking about educational policy: as Blair said last night, it 'still bears reading today'.
