John Morley, viscount Morley - LoveToKnow 1911 |
 | | MORLEY [OF BLACKBURN], JOHN MORLEY, Viscount (1838-), English statesman and author, was born at Blackburn on the 24th of December 1838, being the son of Jonathan Morley, surgeon. |
 | | Mr Morley's activities were now again turned to literature, the political views most characteristic of him, on the Boer war in particular, being practically swamped by the overwhelming predominance of Unionism and Imperialism. |
 | | Among the coronation honours of 1902, Mr Morley was nominated an original member of the new Order of Merit; and in July 1902 he was presented by Mr Carnegie with the late Lord Acton's valuable library, which, on the 10th of October, he in turn gave to the university of Cambridge. |
