Finance—Public and Private

The Late Lord Revelstoke

Tim occasion has never arisen before—and I doubt if it will again—when my weekly financial article has taken the form of an obituary notice. With the death of Lord Revelstoke, however, so great a figure has passed from the world of finance and a personality who has played so great a part in thefinances of this country during two generations has been removed that feel the, financial pages of a paper like the Spectator, which for over a century has been associated with every phase of our economic as well as our political and social developments, should contain something more than a mere reference to Lord Revelstoke's death. - -
