Topic: William Vernon Harcourt politician


  
  William Vernon Harcourt (politician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was the second son of the Rev. Canon William Vernon Harcourt, of Nuneham Park, Oxford, himself the fourth son and eventually heir of Edward Harcourt, Archbishop of York.
William George was therefore born a Vernon, and by his connection with the old families of Vernon and Harcourt was related to many of the great English houses, a fact of which he was proud.
As Harcourt himself was a second son, and thus unlikely to ever have to pay such duties himself (though this proved to not be the case), it was often quipped that this introduction was a "second son's revenge".

Leaving school at an early age, he became a clerk, and rose to be manager of a brewery in Yorkshire.
Plimsoll was re-elected for Derby at the general election of 1880 by a great majority, but gave up his seat to William Vernon Harcourt, believing that the latter, as home secretary, could advance the sailors' interests more effectively than any private member.
Though offered a seat by thirty constituencies, he did not re-enter the house, and later became estranged from the Liberal leaders by what he regarded as their breach of faith in neglecting the question of shipping reform.

It is possible to believe—the writer believes—that with all this burthen of shortcomings, the democratic election system is still, on the whole, better than a system of hereditary privilege, but that is no reason for concealing how defective and disappointing its practical outcome has been, nor for resting contented with it in its present form.
Within its limits this has worked as a most admirable corrective to patronage; it is one of the chief factors in the cleanhandedness of British politicians, and it is continually importing fresh young men from outside to keep officialdom in touch with the general educated world.
They would infect the whole social body with the sense that property was saturated with responsibility and was in effect a trust, and that would be a good influence upon rich and poor alike.
