 obits.com, The Internet Obituary Network, Obituary for Lord Hartwell
Lord Camrose, with his brother (by then Lord Kemsley) and a third gentleman of title, Lord Liffe, partnered in a number of publishing ventures which became a successful empire in the early years of the 20th century.
Lord Hartwell advanced to an officer's position with the AA Command by 1940 and later served in active duty on the battlefields in Africa and France, leaving the armed forces in 1946 with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and having been knighted a Commander of the British Empire for his distinguished service.
In 1954 Lord Hartwell and his brother Seymour ascended to the leadership of The Daily Telegraph with the death of their father: Seymour became the paper's chairman and assumed the title Lord Camrose, while Lord Hartwell took on the mantle of editor-in-chief, preserving many of his late father's publishing practices, policies, and traditions.

 Ceremonial counties of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
After the 1888 establishment of county councils and county boroughs, the Lieutenancy was reformed from its earlier basis (based in large part on the traditional counties, although there were differences, as for example Bristol had had a Lord-Lieutenant for centuries).
Apart from minor boundary revisions, these areas were left largely untouched until the 1965 creation of Greater London, which resulted in the abolition of the office of Lord-Lieutenant of Middlesex.
Avon was mostly split between Gloucestershire and Somerset, with Bristol regaining its status of a county of itself.

Lord Alfred Douglas was born in 1870 and educated at Magdalen College, Oxford.
As a poet, the greater portion of his verse is severely classical in tone, academic in expression but, of its kind, distinctive and intimate.
He was a lieutenant of artillery in Sough Africa (1899–1900) and was in charge of the Medical Division of the McGill Canadian General Hospital during the World War.

 James Stanley Seventh Earl of Derby
Lord Derby's gallantry on thisday,or rather the circumstances under which it was exhibited, proved most disastrous to him afterwards, when he was a prisoner in the hands of his foes.
The future, however, was concealed from view, and Lord Derby felt nothing but joy when, on the evening of the same day on which Bolton had been stormed, he and Prince Rupert made a triumphal entry into Latham, and the heroine of the siege reaped the reward of her gallant resistance.
Having in the interval, no doubt, strengthened and revictualled Latham, Lord Derby sent his Countess and family to that safe refuge, the Isle of Man, where she arrived on the 30th of July, and was probably soon joined by her husband.

After its re-appointment at the Manchester meeting of 1861, the committee communicated with Henry Tracey Coxwell (1819-1900), an aeronaut who had made a good many ascents, and he agreed to construct a new balloon, of 90,000 cub.
The direct distances between the places of ascent and descent, apart from the movements of the balloon under the influence of these various currents, were always very much greater than the horizontal movement of the air as measured by anemometers.
It was driven by a Daimler benzine motor, and attained a greater speed than " La France "; but a driving belt slipped, and in coming down the balloon was injured beyond repair.

 The Life of Lord Byron
One of the lords of Horestan was a hostage for the payment of the ransom of Richard Cœur de Lion; and in the time of Edward I., the possessions of his descendants were augmented by the addition of the Manor of Rochdale, in Lancashire.
Lord Byron, however, is not singular in his opinion of the inutility of premature classical studies; and notwithstanding the able manner in which the late Dean Vincent defended public education, we have some notion that his reasoning upon this point will not be deemed conclusive.
No greater misconception has ever been obtruded upon the world as philosophic criticism, than the theory of poets being the offspring of “capering lambkins and cooing doves”; for they differ in no respect from other men of high endowment, but in the single circumstance of the objects to which their taste is attracted.

Lord Macaulay describes him as "a man of wit, fashion, and honor, an agreeable dramatic writer, an officer whose courage was never questioned, and whose skill was at that time highly esteemed." (Essay on Lord Clive.) The time spoken of was but shortly previous to the American war.
To understand the pressing need of beasts of burden we must remember that the army was then eating bread made of English flour, and beef salted in England, and that these provisions had to be brought from Lake Champlain, or Lake George, to the Hudson on men's backs.
The plan was, however, changed before the column had passed Fort Miller, and instead of marching on Manchester, the expedition was sent to Bennington, where the Americans were supposed to have a large supply of stores.

In 1937 he succeeded Sir Lawrence Bragg at Manchester University, Bragg himself having succeeded Rutherford there; his school of cosmic research work continued to develop, and since the war the Manchester laboratory has extended its field of activity, particularly into that of the radar investigation of meteor trails under Dr. Lovell.
In 1945, at the end of the Second World War, work was resumed on cosmic ray investigations in the University of Manchester: in particular on the further study of cosmic ray particles by the counter-controlled cloud chamber in a strong magnetic field, built and used before the War.
This move was rewarded almost immediately by the discovery by Butler and coworkers, within a few hours of starting work, of a new and still stranger strange particle, which was called the negative cascade hyperon.
