The Earl of Elgin is a biography written by George M. Wrong about James Bruce, the 8th Earl of Elgin. Bruce was a prominent figure in British politics during the 19th century and served as the Governor General of Canada from 1847 to 1854. The book details Bruce's life, from his early years and education to his political career and accomplishments. It also explores his controversial decision to remove ancient Greek sculptures, known as the Elgin Marbles, from the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. Wrong provides a comprehensive analysis of Bruce's character and leadership style, and offers insights into the historical context of his time. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in British history, politics, and culture during the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
