Edward George Geoffrey Stanley, Fourteenth Earl of Derby. – 1 lithograph ; published in
Canadian Illustrated News, 20 November 1869. Artist and lithographer unknown. A British statesman, Lord Stanley (1799-1869) first entered government in 1827. During his lengthy career, he held several administrative posts, undersecretary for the colonies (1827-1828), chief secretary for Ireland (1830-1833), and colonial secretary (1833-1834). He resigned the latter post in 1834 amid controversy over the finances of the Church of Ireland. Stanley later served as Sir Robert Peel’s colonial secretary (1841-1845) and as prime minister (1852, 1858-1859, and 1866-1868). The village of Stanley, New Brunswick, was named in his honour.
