We regret to record the death of Lord Onslow, which
took place in London on Monday last. The fact) that his end was hastened by his desire to see his youngest son, who is suffer- ing from the effects of an acciCeat in Tyrol, enhanced the regret caused by the event. But in any case that regret would have been widespread, for Lord Onslow's friends Is ere many. His long public career was full of good and useful work for the nation. It is interesting to reflect that this is almost the only country in which the State would have been successful in claiming that work. By nature Lord Onslow was a man of strong social instincts, fond of sport, and delighting in travel and country life. Yet instead of allowing pleasure and amusement to monopolize his time, he early in life devoted himself to political and public work of all kinds. Whatever he undertook be did with zest and earnestness.
