was a prominent politician in hi: day
and a member of the famous Baring
banking family.
At the age of 17 he joi.ieJ the
Royal Artillery, and three years
later he became aide-de-camp to Sir
Henry Stories, the High Commission-
er of the Ionian Islands. In 1872 he
went out to India to act as eectctary
to his cousin, Lord Northbrook,iw'tu
was then the Viceroy, and he Aquae:,
ed in India until 1870, in which year
he was intrusted with the important
appointment of British Commissioner
in the Egyptian Public: Debt Wee!,
a post which provided hint with am-
ple opportunities of exercising Lis
great gifts as a financier and an ad,
ntinistrattor. He speedily dominated
his colleagues, who were the re-
presentatives of the other Great
Powers interested Ise frigypt, mid he
was mainly responsible for the en.
forced abdication of the unstrupte-
lous Khedive Yemen in 1879,
Baring was then appointed British
Controller -General in Egypt, but in
the following year his beneficial
work for the regeneration of the
country received a shock, for he was
w`el`d 11 T11,1i3, where he wee des-
patched by the British Government;
to become the financial member of
Lord Ripon's Council. During the
next three years he instituted man',
important reforms in the fine:trial
system of our Eastern Empire, and
fhen, in 1883, he was free to return
to Egypt he was appointed British
Agent and Consul -General end vest
ed with extraordinary powers.
He held this appointment u 'til
1907, and his history during is
memorable adntinietration of twenty-

Egypt under his wise and 'eact.lul
management is justly regarded 'as
010 of the most marvellous reran:is
in Oriental history, and it gained for
hien a high place among the out:tend-
ing statesmen and cliplemati,es of the
19th century.
IIis great services were reward-
ed wlth a peerage in 1893. and nine
years later he was elevated to 0n
earldom. Ill -health compelled him
to resign his office in 1007 and he re-
turned to England, where: he coin-
plr'ted his splendid historical work—
"Modern

ed in 1908. In spite of enfeebled
health he played an important part
in the political s i
