Balfour: The Last Grandee
(London: John Murray, 2007). The sportsman Lyttelton, considered one of the most handsome men of his generation, had been colonial secretary under Balfour and was equally sympathetic with TR’s view of Britain’s imperial responsibilities. The same was true of the witty and charming Fred Oliver, the “gentleman draper” and noted biographer of Alexander Hamilton who used the fortune he made at Debenham and Freebody in support of imperial causes.

42. Whitelaw Reid reported to the U.S. secretary of state, Philander Knox, that he knew confidentially that Grey was equally pleased, but “under more necessity to conceal it” and was sure to take up the same line in the House of Commons when the subject came up. In fact he thought Grey would have been happy to have had the opportunity to “say the same thing first”; but since he didn’t Reid believed he was glad “to have such a powerful impression made in advance on the public mind by way of preparation for the Government’s approaching change of attitude.” Quoted in Royal Cortissoz,
