was a warm letter of thanks to his
Scottish friends, who presented him
with portrait of himself.

opposed to public funeral and ii is

Sir Henry CAMPBELL annerman was
born Sept. :, 1886 He was the young
est son of the late Sir James Campbell
of Stracathro, Forfarshre, for some

sumed the additional name under the
will of his maternal uncle. the late
Henry BanneTman of Hunton Court,
Kent, who bequeathed to him a large
estate. He attended Glasgow univer-
sity and Trinity college. He married
Charlotte. daughter of Major Charles
Bruce. She died in 1906, and from that
time Sir Henry's decline in health may
be dated.
For nearly forty years he sat for the
same seattle Stirling burghs-and his
record Of Office goes back to 1871, when
he was financial secretary Of the war
office which post he held a second time
from 1850 to 1882. During the next two
years he was secretary to the admiral
