It is with very deep regret that we record the
death of Lord Carlisle, which took place, owing to heart failure, on Sunday morning at Brackland, Hindhead, the house of his son-in-law, Mr. C. H. Roberts, M.P. Lord Carlisle lately underwent a rest cure in London and seemed to have benefited so much by his treatment that he was able to spend Easter in Surrey. He was out walking on Thursday, and the illness to which he succumbed was only of some twenty-four hours' duration. Lord Carlisle was a man of singular charm, and his death will throw a shadow over a very large number of friends as well as over a wide family circle. Though he sat for many years in the House of Commons, and occasionally took part in the proceedings of the House of Lords, his heart was far more in art than in politics. As a trustee of the National Gallery he did excellent work, and his voice and influence could always be counted upon wherever matters of public taste were concerned.
