He left five millions out of the seventy millions which he had amassed, and he charged this substantial fragment of his fortune with annuities to certain public men whom he admired and to the widows of President Cleveland and President Roosevelt. Mr. Lloyd George, Lord Morley, and Mr. Taft were left annuities of £2,000 each. Chatham and Disraeli had similar benefactors, to whom Great Britain certainly owes much. Mr. Thomas Burt and Mr. John Bums, together with the late Mr. John Wilson, the Durham miners' leader, and the late Sir Swine Smith, were left annuities of £1,000.
