Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, who died on Sunday last, will
long be remembered as a member of the famous Fourth Party. He never reached the position either in Parliamentary or diplomatic life which his undoubted abilities at one time seemed to open to him, but lie played a notable and important part in the House of Commons in conjunction with Lord Randolph Churchill, and will leave a memory as a most resourceful tactician. He was a son of Dr. Joseph Wolff, the famous missionary, who, being converted from Judaism--he was a. Rabbi—took his life in his hand in order to preach Christianity to the Jews and Moham- medans in the East, and of Lady Georgiana Walpole. In spite of his connexion with the audacious Fourth Party, Sir Henry Drummond Wolff served the Conservatives well by founding the Primrose League.
