All of these are very clever people. Ellice is the person whose influence is said, more than that of all other men, to keep the present ministry in power. Fonblanque Albany W. Fonblanque, 1797-1872; an early contributor to the Westminster Review, editor of the Examiner,—a weekly newspaper,—from 1822 to 1846, and appointed, in 1852, director of the Statistical Department of the Board of Trade.
