Produktinformationen zu „Henry Goulburn, 1784-1856 (PDF)“
Brian Jenkins's impressive biography documents Henry Goulburn's long and successful political career during the first half of the nineteenth century. Rescuing Goulburn from unmerited obscurity, Jenkins reveals that he was at the centre of far-reaching political and economic developments during a turbulent period of British history.Between 1812 and 1821 Goulburn worked in the War and Colonial Office, where he effectively administered Britain's far-flung possessions. Appointed chief secretary for Ireland in 1821 — a Protestant to offset a "Catholic" viceroy — Goulburn was at the heart of the final rearguard action by the opponents of Catholic emancipation. As chancellor of the exchequer for the Duke of Wellington (1828-30) and Sir Robert Peel (1841-46) he participated in such momentous decisions as Catholic emancipation and the repeal of the Corn Laws. An opponent of parliamentary reform, he worked closely with Peel, his lifelong friend, to build the Conservative Party and served as a parliamentary champion of the Established Church. Jenkins examines the conservative values Goulburn held, and the moral dilemma of an essentially good man who depended on the institution of slavery for his private income.
