	Civil Service Systems in Comparative Persepctive
		The tendency, though, to write about ‘ the reforms of 1854' in relation the Northcote - Trevelyan Report (Bridges, 1954) was misleading because the reform programme it advanced could not be said to have been fully implemented much before 1920, if indeed, in some respects, it ever was.
		Northcote and Trevelyan wanted to see created a largely self sufficient career Civil Service that would train its own administrators so that they could, on merit, hold the highest positions in the Service, instead of, as at the time, having often to fill them from outside its ranks.
		Northcote and Trevelyan had designed a career Civil Service to serve a Regulatory State of the kind tolerated by the Classical Economists.

		In early 1887 Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the Chief Secretary for Ireland, resigned because of illness, and Salisbury appointed his nephew in his place.
		The selection took the political world by surprise, and was much criticized, possibly leading to the British phrase "Bob's your uncle!"
