George Canning is a biography written by W. Alison Phillips, detailing the life and political career of George Canning, a British statesman who served as Prime Minister in 1827. The book explores Canning's early life, his education at Eton and Oxford, and his entry into politics as a member of Parliament. Phillips delves into Canning's rise through the ranks of the Tory party, his tenure as Foreign Secretary, and his role in the abolition of the slave trade. The book also examines Canning's personal life, including his marriage and his relationships with other notable figures of the time, such as William Pitt the Younger and Lord Castlereagh. Phillips provides a comprehensive overview of Canning's political and personal achievements, as well as his impact on British politics and society during the early 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.
