INTRODUCTION The first Earl of Kimberley's career is conventionally seen as one thread in the fading pattern of late-Victorian Whig politics. The loyal and able Kimberley, who though talkative talked well, was a permanent feature of Gladstone's1 governments and his public life is usually woven around those ministerial Whigs, such as Lords Ripon,2 Clarendon,3 Spencer4 and Harrington,5 who gave administrative weight and social prestige to successive Liberal ministries. Kimberley's historical fate has been to be seen as a capable, obedient, rather dull Whig cypher in Gladstone's calculations. But, in truth, Kimberley was a landed Liberal. Heir to a Tory barony and converted to Liberalism at Eton, neither by blood nor by belief was he part of the Whig brotherhood. Both his career and his Journal are of greater interest and importance than the conventional portrayal of Kimberley would suggest. John Wodehouse, first Earl of Kimberley, was born in 1826 into the Norfolk Tory gentry. The eldest son of an apolitical father who died when he was eight years old, Wodehouse was a decidedly independent youth, adopting Liberal principles at Eton 'purely from conviction' (6 May 1862). With the death of his grandfather, the second Baron Wodehouse, in 1846, John Wodehouse succeeded to the barony (thereby losing his chance of a Commons career) and in the following year took a first in Classics at Christ Church, Oxford. In 1847, with the help of his uncle and mentor he was introduced to the political world. His first significant involvement was as financial member for the Society for the Reform of Colonial Government, an organisation which included 'men 1 William Gladstone (1809-98), Cons.

Then in 1852 he was appointed under- secretary to the Foreign Office in the Aberdeen coalition government, and principal government spokesman on foreign affairs in the Lords.6 Following this auspicious beginning, aged twenty-six, Wodehouse was never far from the centre of political activity. His career was both long and full of important posts. From the time he joined Aberdeen's ministry, he was included in every Liberal government of the last half of the nineteenth century, ending his official career as foreign secretary in Rosebery's ministry (1894-5). In between he served as Minister Plenipotentiary to St Petersburg (1856-58), Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (1864-6), Lord Privy Seal (1868^70), Colonial Secretary (1870-4, 1880- 2) and Indian Secretary (1882-5, 1886, 1892-4). Hardly less important with regard to the Kimberley Journal was his service as Liberal leader in the House of Lords (1891-4, 1896-1902). THE KIMBERLEY ARCHIVE From the beginning of his political career Kimberley carefully preserved his papers and from 1862 he kept a private journal (hereafter, Kimberley Journal). Just before his death he had thought it best to prohibit publication of any papers for at least fifty years. He nevertheless occasionally allowed edited letters to be published and left the matter after his death entirely to his son's discretion.7 With a heightened sense of the delicacy of his father's work, in 1901 the second earl refused Lady Dufferin's request to publish letters related to her husband's Indian Viceroyalty.8 Five years later he did permit Lord Rosebery to read and take notes from a Memoir which Kimberley had written late in life.9 The Kimberley archive remained intact and closed to research until 1948, when Lt. Col. G.E. Malet of the National Register of Archives assisted a young South African doctoral candidate, Ethel Drus, in gaining access. At Kimberley Hall she found the papers packed in 6 On Kimberley's background and early political career see Liberal by Principle, 7-24. 7 Kimberley to Spencer Childers, 20 July 1900, KPi 15/K2/21. 8 2nd Earl of Kimberley to Spencer, 20 October 1902, SP K372; cf.

Among them was a large envelope containing the 'Journal of Events during the Gladstone Ministry' which she subsequently edited for the Royal Historical Society (hereafter, Journal of Events').10 The break up of the Kimberley archive also began around 1948, when Kimberley's private correspondence as Minister to Russia (1856— 8) was acquired by the British Library. In 1972 Kimberley's political in-letters for the period 1891-1901 were sold and eventually found their way into the National Library of Scotland. Later that year a large collection of papers relating to Kimberley's Falmouth property was deposited in the Cornwall Record Office. In 1974 the Norfolk Record Office acquired most of Kimberley's unofficial papers - enough to fill fifteen boxes — including family papers, some early political cor- respondence and an extensive journal devoted to his reading, kept continuously between 1847 and 1902 (hereafter, Readingjournal). When the remaining Kimberley papers, including most of those associated with his Cabinet career, were being prepared for sale at Sotheby's in 1991, two substantial lots, relating principally to personal property and estate management, and several smaller lots containing letters patent and other collectibles, were auctioned separately." So aldiough the Kimberley archive is now dispersed, each part is accessible and together form an impressive and well-rounded record of a nineteenth-century political life. THE KIMBERLEY JOURNAL Among the papers acquired by the Bodleian Library in December 1991 was Kimberley's extensive Journal, kept in five notebooks quarter bound in burgundy leather with marbled boards, and catalogued at the Bodleian Library as: Ms.Eng.e.2790 (10.9 cm x 18.5 cm) 28 Apr. 1862-10 Oct. 1864 184 leaves Ms.Eng.e.2791 (11.1 011X17.0, cm) 11 Oct. 1864-20 Jul. 1869 236 leaves Ms.Eng.e.2792 (11.1 cmx 17.8 cm) 11 Aug. 1869-19 Apr. 1881 208 leaves Ms.Eng.e.2793 (11.3 cmx 17.8 cm) 28 Apr. 1881-7 Sept. 1896 239 leaves Ms.Eng.e.2794 (11.3 cmx 17.8 cm) 8 Oct. 1896-10 Jan. 1902 248 leaves Characterised in the Bodleian's catalogue as a 'diary', they are perhaps better described as a journal. Although the notebooks themselves carry '" Ethel Drus, 'A Journal of-Events during the Gladstone Ministry [868-18J4 by John, First Earl of Kimberley', Camden Miscellany, 3rd ser., XXI, 1—49.

    The Economic Rape of America - Chapter Eight HISTORY AND THEORY OF TAX AND STATE You have sown much, and harvested little; you eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill; you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and you that earn wages earn wages to put them into a bag with holes. -- Haggai 1, verse 6 "... [W]hen it is no longer worth the producers' while to produce, when they are taxed so highly to keep the politicians and their friends on the public payroll that they themselves no longer have a reasonable chance of success in any economic enterprise, then of course production grinds to a halt... When this happens, when the producers can no longer sustain on their backs the increasing load of the parasites, then the activities of the parasites must stop also, but usually not before they have brought down the entire social structure which the producers' activities have created. When the organism dies, the parasite necessarily dies too, but not until the organism has paid for the presence of the parasite with its life. It is in just this way that the major civilizations of the world have collapsed." -- Professor John Hospers, 1975 The history of taxation is also the history of the rise and fall of civilization. It is the history of economic rape. From the history of taxation we can learn...

    University of Sheffield Library. Special Collections and Archives Ref: MS 6 - 9, MS 22 Title: Mundella Papers Scope: The correspondence and other papers of Anthony John Mundella, Liberal M.P. for Sheffield, including other related correspondence, 1861 to 1932. Dates: 1861-1932 (also Leader Family correspondence 1848-1890) Level: Fonds Extent: 23 boxes Name of creator: Anthony John Mundella Administrative / biographical history: The content of the papers is mainly political, and consists largely of the correspondence of Mundella, a prominent Liberal M.P. of the later 19th century who attained Cabinet rank. Also included in the collection are letters, not involving Mundella, of the family of Robert Leader, acquired by Mundella’s daughter Maria Theresa who intended to write a biography of her father, and transcriptions by Maria Theresa of correspondence between Mundella and Robert Leader, John Daniel Leader and another Sheffield Liberal M.P., Henry Joseph Wilson. The collection does not include any of the business archives of Hine and Mundella. Anthony John Mundella (1825-1897) was born in Leicester of an Italian father and an English mother. After education at a National School he entered the hosiery trade, ultimately becoming a partner in the firm of Hine and Mundella of Nottingham. He became active in the political life of Nottingham, and after giving a series of public lectures in Sheffield was invited to contest the seat in the General Election of 1868. Mundella was Liberal M.P. for Sheffield from 1868 to 1885, and for the Brightside division of the Borough from November 1885 to his death in 1897.
