Excerpt: Alexander Hugh Bruce, 6th Lord Balfour of Burleigh KT GCMG GCVO PC DL JP (13 January 1849 6 July 1921) was a Scottish Unionist politician, banker and statesman, who took a leading part in the affairs of the Church of Scotland. He was Secretary for Scotland between 1895 and 1903.

In 1876 Balfour was elected a Scottish representative peer. Six years later, he was made an Education Commissioner for Scotland, and in 1887 he entered Lord Salisbury's administration as a Lord-in-Waiting. The following year, Lord Balfour became Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade, a position he held until the Liberals returned to power in 1892, and for three years he chaired the London Water Supply Commission until his return to government as Secretary for Scotland in 1895.

Balfour was Governor of the Bank of Scotland from 1904-1921. Balfour was appointed Lord Rector of Edinburgh University (1896-1899), and elected Chancellor of St Andrews ...More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=94148We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
