 INTRODUCTORY.— LORD HOUGHTON'S PREFACE TO THE 
 
 •ANNALS', 1880 
 
 AT the dinner on the loth February 1913 the Secretaries reported 
 /I. that the Archives of the Club, so far as related to the period prior to 
 1877, had disappeared, and they were requested to endeavour to trace 
 and recover them, with a view to the preparation of some suitable record 
 to commemorate the Centenary of the Club. 
 
 The Secretaries have now to report that, after prolonged inquiries, 
 the documents in question have been recovered. 
 
 They consist of two bound volumes of miscellaneous papers extend- 
 ing over the years from 1812 to 1879, a volume containing the accounts 
 of the Club from 1822 to 1832, and nine volumes in which the attendances 
 at dinner are recorded from the 6th March 1816 to the i6th April 1877, 
 besides other documents of less consequence. The Secretaries were 
 already in possession of the Dinner Books from 1877 to the present date, 
 and of the Club accounts from 1842. 
 
 The Secretaries think that they will be carrying out the wishes of 
 the Club if they present a brief history of the Club from its foundation 
 and a complete hst of the Members, with notes of the principal Offices, 
 Honours, and Distinctions held by them. 
 
 In the year 1880 a volume was compiled for the use of Members, 
 entitled Grillion's Club from its Origin in 1812 to its Fiftieth Anniversary, 
 by P. G. E. The cover of the book bears the shorter title. Annals of 
 Grillion's Club. This record was the work of Sir Philip de Malpas Grey- 
 Egerton, Bart., who was one of the Secretaries of the Club from 1866 
 till his death in 1881. 
 
 To that volume the late Lord Houghton contributed a Preface, which 
 may, perhaps, form an appropriate introduction to the present record.
 
 g GRILLION'S CLUB 
 
 Preface to ^Annals of Grilliori's Club\ by Lord Houghton 
 
 These records of the first fifty years of the life of Grillion's Club have no pre- 
 tension to historical importance, but they will recall to its present members, and 
 to the representatives of those who are gone, many familiar and some noted names, 
 and some pleasant events in which they, or those dear to them, were among the 
 actors. Amid the increased and increasing complications of our social life, the 
 maintenance of such closer forms of association becomes every day more difficult, 
 but ours still retains much of its pristine vitality, and the principles on which it 
 rests are so sound and beneficial that it may still look for many years of existence, 
 and we may even anticipate the time when another chronicler may put together 
 the story of its completed century. 
 
 There remains in the far-stretching memory of the eldest of our present members, 
 the venerable Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, now exercising his fine intellect, and 
 even his poetic imagination, in his 92nd year, a clear recollection of the visit of an 
 Etonian schoolfellow, Mr. Fazakerly, to him at Constantinople, in 1811, the time 
 of his early diplomatic employment in that locality, now so associated with his 
 authoritative name, and of a conversation that occurred between them on the 
 serious damage that London society suffered from the violence of political con- 
 troversy. 
 
 The possibility of foimding a club, open to members of both contending parties, 
 was then and there discussed, and it was agreed that whoever first returned home 
 should do his best to carry out this intention. 
 
 How this notion connected itself with the Christ Church Club already existing, 
 is not on record, but the fact remains that when Mr. Stratford Canning returned 
 to England the following year, he found Grillion's Club established on this basis, 
 and himself one of its members. 
 
 From that time to the present, the main characteristic of the Club has been, 
 as stated by the late Lord Derby in his letter to Sir PhiHp Grey-Egerton,^ its generous 
 and courteous comprehension of diversities of political views. It has thus not 
 been uncommon for the most uncompromising opponents, in the most important 
 crises of our political history, to meet round its table in perfect freedom of con- 
 versation, and even of banter, secure alike from affront and misapprehension — 
 a form of social life of which Englishmen may be justly proud. At Berlin or Vienna 
 such an association would have been dispersed by the police as dangerous to the 
 public peace, and at Paris its meetings would frequently have been adjourned to 
 the Bois de Boulogne. We may also claim the collateral advantage of the reaction 
 
 ^ This letter was written by Lord Derby on the 21st June 1837 to inform Sir P. Grey- 
 Egerton of his election to the Club, and contained the following passage : ' The charac- 
 teristic of our Club is, that the great majority being members of Parliament, and comprising, 
 as you will see, men of the most opposite politics, Grillion's has always been, in the utmost 
 heat of Parties, and throughout the most keenly agitated Sessions, an absolutely neutral 
 ground, and if the reminiscences of Grillion's were interleaved with Hansard's Debates 
 I do not believe that any human being would beUeve in the fidelity of both reports.'
 
 THE CHRONICLE 9 
 
 on the minds of leading men in this happy intercourse on a neutral ground, and 
 in the occasions afforded of recognizing the intellectual and moral merits of antago- 
 nists in the great arena of our national life. 
 
 How welcome have been these intervals of festive recreation is evident from 
 the list of our members, comprising, as it does, nine members of the present, and 
 twelve of the late administration ; but much of this success is, no doubt, due to 
 the discretion exercised in our selection. Political distinction, even the highest, 
 has never been the sole title to this honour. Many of the leaders in both Houses 
 of Parliament would not have found admission, and many comparatively obscure 
 have been our cherished comrades. Social and moral qualities have had a large 
 place in our choice, and the companionship has been more real and permanent 
 than could have existed in a society founded on any mere political or even intel- 
 lectual sympathies. 
 
 In this point of view it is interesting to observe how the individuality of two 
 of the early members of the Club who have left a most affectionate memory, Sir 
 Thomas Dyke Acland and Sir Robert Inglis, is representative of its colour and 
 character even to the present time. The two men had in common a combination 
 of gaiety of temperament and earnestness of purpose which gave a peculiar charm 
 to their public and private life. In Sir Robert the sincerity often deepened into 
 intolerance, so that he rather permitted the differences of opinion which the other 
 comprehended and enjoyed. To Sir Thomas Dyke Acland the well-filled life of 
 the country gentleman gave a larger freedom of thought and action, and the rare 
 honour conferred on him of the statue erected, during his lifetime, in the midst 
 of his Provincial Capital, of which a reduction in silver adorns our table, is at once 
 a testimony to his intrinsic worth and delightful social bearing. 
 
 The denomination of the Club was long a matter of serious deliberation, and 
 the various suggestions recorded are not remarkable for originality, and followed 
 somewhat servilely the titles of the noted periodicals of our literature ; Mr. Canning 
 himself having nothing better to propose than his cousin's ' Anti-Jacobin '. The 
 conclusion to abide by the accident of its early home confers on the name of another 
 worthy host the historical repute enjoyed by many important caterers for public 
 entertainment, among whom Lord Bute's butler, Mr. Mackall, prominently survives 
 in the transmutation rendered convenient by the unpopularity of Scotsmen under 
 his master's administration. 
 
 The occasional admission to the Club of other than political members, besides 
 eminent ecclesiastics, is an innovation of late years, and assuredly may be bene- 
 ficially extended. Whatever may be the advantage or necessity of the increase 
 of the popular character of Parliament, the consequence is, no doubt, a diminution 
 of its literary interests, and any form of society that tends to combine political 
 and intellectual life is an acquisition not to be neglected. Statesmen will willingly 
 pass from the torpor or even from the excitement of the House of Commons to the 
 conversation of science, literature, or art, with a sense of relief, and it may be of 
 profit ; while it is indisputable that all that connects the men of thought with the 
 men of action is at once a rare and appreciated pleasure, and a stimulus to the loftier 
 studies.

 10 GRILLION'S CLUB 
 
 The change of the day of meeting is illustrative of modern London manners. 
 From time immemorial, Wednesday and Saturday evenings have been political 
 holidays, and the society being essentially Parliamentary, the convenience of 
 Wednesday as the day of meeting was manifest. But as London society enlarged, 
 and Parliament, so to say, extended its social acquaintance, many members of the 
 Club found that their loyalty to it seriously interfered with other pleasant engage- 
 ments. The alteration was effected more Britannico. The first modification — to 
 substitute Tuesday for Wednesday after the first of June — was carried, under 
 pathetic protests from the surviving Founders, in 1850, but on the reversal of 
 the proposition in 185 1, the ancient custom was restored, and was maintained till 
 1858, when, as is usual with British reforms, the opposition collapsed, and the 
 change was unanimously adopted. The revolution has gone on : Wednesday has 
 entirely disappeared, and now Monday is the day of meeting, and for the con- 
 venience of Members of Parliament, evening dress is no longer the customary costume.

 NARRATIVE 
 
 The Club appears to have originated in 1812 v^^ith a few friends who 
 were in residence at Christ Church, Oxford, in the years 1805-8, and who 
 had reassembled in London for annual dinners in the three following years. 
 
 The earliest document preserved in the books of the Club is as follows : 
 
 Resolutions of the 16th 0/ May 1812 
 
 1. That the nine persons whose names are herein mentioned, do form a list to 
 settle the future members of the Society, and to propose and arrange all matters 
 concerning the immediate constitution of the Society. 
 
 2. That any five or more of the same list do form a quorum, by whose unanimous 
 decision all necessary points be at present determined. 
 
 3. That a meeting be held at Lord Desart's apartments, in Albany (where 
 a good breakfast will be provided), on Monday, the ist of June, at 10 o'clock. 
 
 This is evidently a fragment of a rough copy, and it terminates 
 
 abruptly, without the list of names alluded to in the first resolution. 
 
 The following letter indicates that the original intention was to hold 
 
 an annual dinner : 
 
 Berkeley Square, 
 
 -, - 20 May, 1812. 
 
 My dear Inglis, -^ 
 
 The annual dinner of the old Ch. Ch. debating society took place at Grillion's ^ 
 
 on Saturday last, when we had a very pleasant meeting, though we did not assemble 
 
 in such numbers as might have been wished : the party consisted of only seven 
 
 — Gower, Desart, Price, Wellesley, Acland, Heneage, and myself. In order if 
 
 1 This was a hotel, kept by the proprietor, Mr. Charles Grillion, at No. 7 Albemarle Street.
 
 THE CHRONICLE ii 
 
 possible to secure a better attendance next year, I write thus early to apprise you 
 that the day of meeting will be the second Saturday in May, and that it will be 
 your turn to take the chair. It seems generally supposed that Lord Wellesley and 
 Canning have declined joining the Prince's Ministers, so that Mr. Vansittart will 
 be Chancellor of the Exchequer. I hope there is a chance of my seeing you soon 
 in this part of the world ; in the meantime adieu, and believe me ever very sin- 
 cerely yours, Dartmouth. 
 
 There is no record of any further proceedings in 1812, but on the 
 15th February 1813 a meeting was held at GrilHon's Hotel, at which 
 the following resolutions were passed : 
 
 1. The Club shall meet at dinner on every alternate Wednesday, beginning 
 from February 10. 
 
 2. All members who shall be in town on any day of meeting shall, notwithstand- 
 ing their non-attendance, pay their share of the dinner, exclusive of wine, unless 
 prevented by illness. 
 
 3. Any member going out of town, or returning after absence, or prevented 
 by illness from attending the meeting, shall notify the same to the Secretary, at 
 or before noon, on the Tuesday preceding the day of meeting, or otherwise shall 
 be subject to the second resolution. 
 
 4. The Secretary shall remind each member, by letter, on or before the Satur- 
 day preceding each day of meeting. 
 
 5. Each member shall be President and Vice-President in alphabetical rotation. 
 
 6. The place of meeting on the day of the next dinner shall be settled before parting. 
 
 7. The dinner-hour shall be half-past six. 
 
 8. The present resolutions shall remain in force till Easter next. 
 
 9. General meeting of the members for making any new arrangements shall 
 be settled at the last meeting before Easter Simday ; and in such manner that at 
 least a fortnight's notice of the same may be given to the absent members. 
 
 10. Such members as may be unavoidably obliged to absent themselves from 
 the general meeting are invited to communicate their wishes to the Secretary, 
 who shall lay them before the meeting. 
 
 11. The Club may be forthwith increased to the number of twenty-five members. 
 
 12. The names of persons proposed shall be stated at one meeting, and they 
 shall be balloted for at the next meeting but one. 
 
 13. If the number of names proposed should exceed the number eligible by 
 Resolution 11, they shall be selected for ballot by lot. 
 
 14. The names of the persons proposed and of those elected shall be duly com- 
 municated by the Secretary to the absent members. 
 
 15. The ballot shall go round twice for each person proposed, and one black- 
 ball shall exclude. 
 
 16. Any member out of town, or unavoidably absent, may propose a new 
 member by letter to the Secretary, and may ballot by proxy for any person proposed.

 so chosen. 
 
 20. The next meeting shall be held at Grillion's Hotel, on Wednesday, the

 At a meeting on the loth April 1813 the Hon. Heneage Legge was 
 appointed Secretary and Treasurer, with the Hon. F. S. N. Douglas 
 and Mr. R. H. Inglis as Deputy Secretaries. 
 
 The final settlement of the constitution of the Club is recorded in 
 the following resolutions passed at a meeting held on the gth May 1813 : 
 
 Albany, May 9, 1813. 
 
 1st. That the number of its members be limited to thirty. 
 
 2nd. That any member going abroad be considered an honorary member, and 
 do make a vacancy.

 THE CHRONICLE 13 
 
 The original members of the Club were 19 in number, namely : 
 
 Acland, Sir T. D. Hamilton, Viscount 
 
 Canning, Stratford Hartopp, G. H. W. F. 
 
 Chinnery, G. R. Hewitt, Hon. J. 
 
 Dartmouth, Earl of Inglis, R. H. 
 
 Desart, Earl of Knight, H. Gaily 
 
 Douglas, Hon. F. S. North Legge, Hon. Heneage 
 
 East, J. B. Price, R. 
 
 Fazakerly, J. N. Riddell, Sir J. M. 
 
 Grant, Charles Wellesley, R. 
 
 Wilmot, R. 
 
 By May 1813 the following had been added : 
 
 Bowdler, John Heber, The Rev. Reginald 
 
 Carew, R. G. Leinster, Duke of 
 
 Gower, Earl Littleton, E. J. 
 
 Grant, R. Planta, Joseph 
 
 Hay, R. W. Sodor and Man, Bishop of 
 
 The title of the Club was frequently discussed both at this period 
 and for some years afterwards, but no formal resolution on the subject 
 seems to have been passed at any time. Official documents were generally 
 headed, ' The Club at GrilUon's*, or ' Grilhons '. 
 
 On the 30th January 1819 a slight alteration was made in the rules. 
 The number of members was increased to 40, and the annual subscrip- 
 tion reduced to two guineas. The Hon. F. S. N. Douglas was appointed 
 Secretary, with Sir Thomas Acland and Mr. R. Wellesley as Deputy 
 Secretaries. A general annual meeting was appointed to be held on the 
 second Saturday of the Session of Parliament. 
 
 Throughout this period and for many years afterwards, the finances 
 of the Club appear to have given the members great anxiety. 
 
 In July 1820 it was decided ' to raise an additional sum of two pounds 
 from every member for the expenses of the current year ', and on the 
 9th February 1822 the subscription was raised to three guineas, and 
 the number of members to 45. 
 
 At the annual breakfast on the 8th February 1823 it was resolved : 
 
 To have in future a second meeting of the Club annually, ' for business and for 
 breakfast ', on the first Saturday in May, that the subscription for the current
 
 14 GRILLION'S CLUB 
 
 year be three guineas, and that the members of the Club already married should 
 be invited to pay the sum of five guineas for the general purposes of the Club, in 
 compensation to the Club for having married without their consent, and that 
 members hereafter marrying without such consent (to be signified by the unani- 
 mous voice of two meetings) shall pay ten guineas. 
 
 Still more drastic methods of raising money were adopted under the 
 following : 
 
 Resolutions of the Club at Grillion's at the Breakfast and Business 
 Meeting, on Saturday, 3rd of May 1823 
 
 1. That each member on succeeding to any property, landed or funded, shall, 
 in order to encourage the Club cordially to rejoice at such succession, pay to their 
 treasury the tenth part of the value of such property, or shall be at liberty to com- 
 pound for the said tenth by a payment of ten guineas. 
 
 2. That each member on being appointed to any office shall pay to the treasury 
 of the Club the tenth part of the first year's salary as first fruits, or, in lieu thereof, 
 the sum of five guineas in compensation to the Club for the probable loss of his 
 society, to which such his appointment will expose them. 
 
 The first of these resolutions does not appear to have been acted 
 upon, but the second continued in operation for many years. 
 
 In 1823 the hour of dinner was altered to twenty-five minutes past 
 seven. 
 
 At the business meeting of the Club on the 6th May 1826 the collec- 
 tion of portraits was instituted under the following resolutions : 
 
 1. That in the opinion of this meeting it is desirable to have an engraved portrait 
 of each member of the Club. 
 
 2. That for this purpose, each member be requested, first, to cause to be engraved, 
 at the expense of himself, or of any other person who may proffer it, a print from 
 the drawing of his portrait in the collection of Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, Bart.' 
 (such print to be of the size of the said drawing), and secondly, to present one 
 copy to each member of the Club (the whole together thereby forming one volume 
 for each member), and three copies to Sir Thomas Dyke Acland. 
 
 3. The Hon. George Agar Ellis having offered to furnish an engraved title- 
 page, and an engraved list to precede the said volume, that the said offer be thank- 
 fully accepted. 
 
 4. That it is the opinion of this meeting that the above resolutions be carried 
 into effect, so soon as forty members shall have sent in their adhesion to them. 
 
 5. That these resolutions be communicated to the absent members, and that 
 they be requested to return their answers directed to the Secretaries at Grillion's. 
 
 1 Sir T. Acland had for some time past employed an artist named Slater to take 
 likenesses in crayons of such of his friends as consented to sit for the purpose.
 
 THE CHRONICLE 15 
 
 It was further decided on the 25th November 1826 that the portraits 
 of the deceased members of the Club should be engraved at the expense 
 of the Club. 
 
 In 1828 the number of members was increased to fifty, and it was 
 resolved that any member being or becoming a Cabinet Minister should 
 during his continuance in office be exempted from the payment of sub- 
 scriptions, ' in consideration of the difficulties of his attendance on the 
 service of the Club.' ^ 
 
 At the breakfast meeting on the 7th February 1829 the following 
 memorandum was submitted by the Secretaries : 
 
 Memorandum for Grillion's 
 Saturday, yth February 1829 
 
 In the course of the last session, there were but five Club-days on which the 
 dinner was not a burthen upon the general funds, the right number of ten members 
 being, except on those five days, never present : there were, in other words, only 
 five Wednesdays on which ten or more than ten members dined at the Club. There 
 were two days on which no one dined there, the whole dinner being therefore a dead 
 loss to the funds, and there was one day on which one member dined alone, and 
 another day on which two only met, and the average attendance was only 5|, in 
 short, not 6 a day — the deficiency charged to the Club was for 106 dinners at £1 is. 
 per head, £111 6s., the whole expense of wine being only £77 gs. 6d. Under these 
 circumstances the expediency of trying, for one year at least, a change of system 
 is suggested to the Club by the substitution of an annual payment of five guineas 
 and a dinner payment of ten shillings, in lieu of the present annual payment of 
 three guineas and the dinner payment of one guinea. In this way a double en- 
 couragement will be given to members to dine more frequently together in order 
 to eat out their subscriptions. 
 
 And a resolution was passed to give effect to the recommendation. 
 
 On the death of Mr. R. Wellesley in March 1831 Mr. R. W. Hay 
 was appointed one of the Secretaries. 
 
 In 1833 a levy of five guineas on each member was authorized in 
 order to meet a deficit of about ^^263. 
 
 In 1837 the number of members was raised from fifty to fifty-five, 
 and the subscription was increased to £6. 
 
 A ' Jubilee ' dinner to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the 
 
 ^ This exemption, which was conditional on the payment of one-tenth of the first 
 year's salary or of five pounds in lieu thereof, was extended in 1840 to the Speaker of the 
 House of Commons and to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and in 1872 to members 
 serving the Crown abroad.

 foundation of the Club was arranged to take place on the first Saturday 
 in June 1837.^ This was afterwards postponed to the second Wednesday 
 in July, and again (owing to the death of King WiUiam IV) to the 29th 
 November. 
 
 The following members were present : 
 
 Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, Bart., Chairman 
 
 Lord Ashley 
 
 Francis Baring, Esq. 
 
 Viscount Clive 
 
 Earl of Dartmouth 
 
 Sir James Buller East 
 
 Viscount Ebrington

 Sir George Grey, Bart. 
 
 R. W. Hay, Esq. 
 
 Sir Robert H. Inglis, Bart. 
 
 Henry Gaily Knight, Esq. 
 
 Right Hon. H. Labouchere 
 
 Hon. Heneage Legge 
 
 Right Hon. T. Frankland Lewis 
 
 Right Hon. Sir Stratford Canning 
 
 J. Wilson Patten, Esq. 
 
 Joseph Planta, Esq. 
 
 Sir Robert Price, Bart. 
 
 The Bishop of Rochester 
 
 Viscount Sandon 
 
 Lord Granville Somerset 
 
 Lord Stanley 
 
 The Duke of Sutherland 
 
 Hon. John Talbot 
 
 Henry Wellesley, Esq. 
 
 Hon. James Stuart- Wortley 
 
 Hon. John Stuart- Wortley 
 
 At a breakfast meeting on the 4th May 1839, the number of members 
 was raised to 60. 
 
 In 1840 the Club having elected the Speaker (Mr. Shaw-Lefevre, 
 afterwards Viscount Eversley) to be a member, invited him to a dinner 
 at Greenwich, at which 39 members were present. 
 
 In 1842 the Secretaries were able to report for the first time since 
 the foundation of the Club, that its finances were in a satisfactory condi- 
 tion, and the subscription was reduced from £6 to £s in the following year. 
 
 In 1843 Sir Robert Inghs resigned the office of Secretary, which he 
 had held (with the exception of a short interval in 1819) since the founda- 
 tion of the Club, and a piece of plate (costing ^^92 los. 6d.) was presented 
 
 1 Some difficulty was evidently experienced in finding a proper designation for this 
 dinner, and in one memorandum there is an interpretation clause — ' The terms used, 
 " Jubilee " and " Centenary ", signify the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Club '. There 
 is also a list of delicacies promised by Members for the feast, which includes a supposed 
 offer by Mr. Gaily Knight of ' Himself, to be roasted whole '.
 
 THE CHRONICLE 17 
 
 to him in recognition of his services. Messrs. Garrard's bill for the 
 plate in question is among the archives of the Club. The presentation 
 was made at a dinner at Blackwall on the ist July. There is no 
 record of the attendance or proceedings, but the latter are stated in a 
 later memorandum to have been ' glorious and bibulous '. 
 
 There were also dinners at Blackwall in July of 1845, 1846, and 
 1848. 
 
 In 1844 the creation of honorary members was first sanctioned — 
 the three first honorary members being Lord John Russell, the Bishop 
 of Rochester, and the Hon. Heneage Legge. In the same year, the 
 system of election which is now in force — namely, by the circulation of 
 voting papers, followed by a baUot — was adopted, and the first member 
 elected under this system was Sir Thomas Fremantle (afterwards Lord 
 Cottesloe). 
 
 In 1845 Mr. Gladstone, who had resigned office as President of the 
 Board of Trade at the end of January in consequence of Sir Robert Peel's 
 intention of increasing the grant to Maynooth College, but had rejoined 
 the Ministry as Secretary of State for the Colonies in December following, 
 claimed exemption as a Cabinet Minister from paying a subscription for 
 the year. The subscription, according to the Rules, became payable 
 on the first day of the Session, which in this year was the 4th of February. 
 The Secretary accordingly brought forward at the first breakfast of 1846 
 the question : 
 
 whether under any possible circumstances and by any calendar, Julian, Gregorian, 
 or Hegira, the fourth of February might be counted as the first of February. 
 
 It was thereupon resolved : 
 
 that under no possible combination of circumstances astrological or political can the 
 4th of February be reckoned as the first and that consequently the Secretary be 
 empowered to request the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone to pay his subscription 
 for 1845. 
 
 Mr. Gladstone wrote in reply : 
 
 Although I consider the decision of the Club in my case to be quite unworthy 
 of the age in which we live, yet as I have no remedy, I accept the consequences 
 and enclose a cheque. 
 
 On the 2nd May 1846 it was resolved ' That a testimonial of the 
 
 c
 
 i8 GRILLION'S CLUB 
 
 regard and thankfulness of the Club be presented to Sir T. D. Acland, 
 Bart.', and the presentation was made at a dinner on the 29th July. 
 The testimonial took the form of a silver pillar, with inscriptions, and 
 was furnished by Messrs. Garrard, at a cost of £95. The following entry 
 is recorded in the dinner book : 
 
 After dinner, the silver pillar, on the base of which are inscribed the arms of 
 Sir T. D. Acland, Bart., on one side, an address to him on another side, and the 
 names of the other members of the Club on the remaining side, was presented to 
 him by the Chairman, in the name of the Club, as their testimonial of regard and 
 thankfulness to him, in pursuance of their resolution at the breakfast meeting on 
 the 2nd May 1846. 
 
 Mr. Grillion was called in ; the excellency of his dinner was acknowledged, and 
 he was encouraged to proceed as his father and grandfather had done. 
 
 In 1847, at the breakfast meeting on the ist May, it was proposed : 
 
 That so much of the Rule No. i as fixes the number of members at sixty be 
 suspended. That two members be added every session to the Club, but that the 
 number admitted shall in no year exceed four (whatever may be the number of 
 vacancies), imless the number of the Club shall be reduced to less than sixty. 
 
 The discussion on this resolution was adjourned till the 5th June, 
 under which date the following proceedings are recorded : 
 
 Proposed, That Rule No. i, or at least so much of it as fixes the number of the 
 Club at sixty, be suspended. 
 
 Carried, in the most indecent haste, unanimously. 
 
 Proposed, That it shall be lawful for the Club, if they shall see fit, to elect two 
 members, and no more, every year. Amendment proposed. The Secretary entirely 
 forgets which amendment was proposed, and by whom — but it is certain it was 
 negatived by a large majority, and the original motion carried. Protest entered 
 by Lord Wharncliffe. 
 
 In 1850 the day of meeting was changed from Wednesday to Tuesday 
 for the session of that year, and in 1851 a motion to make the change 
 permanent was negatived. 
 
 At the first breakfast in 1853, it ' was announced from the Chair 
 that Her Majesty had been graciously pleased to summon fourteen 
 members of the Club to her Councils, no doubt in consideration of the 
 benefit that would accrue to the Club from the fines that would thus 
 become due '. 
 
 Sir James BuUer East was elected a Secretary in the place of Mr.
 
 THE CHRONICLE 19 
 
 R. W. Hay, and in the same year the resignation of the Right Hon. 
 Henry Tufnell was announced. 
 
 In 1858 the day of meeting was again changed from Wednesday to 
 Tuesday. 
 
 In i860 Mr. Grillion informed the Club that he had purchased the 
 Clarendon Hotel in Bond Street, which extended into Albemarle Street, 
 and the Club then moved from its original premises in that street (No. 7) 
 to No. 20. 
 
 In 1861 the dinner hour was altered to 8, and Mr. George Richmond, 
 who had drawn so many of the portraits of members, was elected an 
 honorary member. 
 
 In 1863 a special dinner was appointed for the 6th May, to com- 
 memorate the fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of the Club. 
 
 Fifty-five members attended, under the presidency of Lord Derby. 
 
 The volume issued in 1880 contains a facsimile reproduction of the 
 signatures of those attending,* who were : 
 
 1. Edward Geoffrey Stanley, 14th Earl of Derby. 
 
 2. George William Frederick ViUiers, 4th Earl of Clarendon.

 THE CHRONICLE 21 
 
 The volume concludes with the following extract from the preface 
 to the second volume of the collected portraits of members, written by 
 Sir Thomas Acland and Sir James BuUer East : 
 
 The Club having fully realized the highest aspirations of its founders, may it 
 not be allowed to us your Secretaries, the only two remaining representatives of 
 the early Christ Church Brotherhood — and with our two noble friends. Lords 
 Stratford de Redcliffe and Glenelg, now sole survivors of the original companion- 
 ship of 1813 — to look back with cordial and grateful satisfaction on these pleasing 
 results, in the full belief that the genial meetings of Grillion's Club which have so 
 well kept alive the freshness of our early morning may still, ' redolent of joy and 
 youth ', through the noon and evening of its cherished existence, 
 
 Such impulse to our hearts restore 
 
 As if the seasons had roll'd back, and life 
 
 Enjoyed a second Spring. 
 And may we not further indulge the hope, that after fifty years of uninterrupted 
 prosperity, promotive of many generous and enduring friendships, much genial 
 and hearty enjoyment, and instructive intercommunication of valuable knowledge 
 and social interest, nothing may ever occur to change the current of its happy 
 course, or to mar the harmony which has ever prevailed amongst all members of 
 the Club, but that it may continue, as now, to flourish till its latest day.

 On the 9th July 1864 a piece of plate was presented to Sir James 
 Buller East in recognition of his services as Secretary of the Club. 
 
 In February 1866 Sir Thomas Dyke Acland resigned the post of 
 Secretary which he had held since 1819, and Sir Philip Grey-Egerton 
 was appointed to succeed him. 
 
 In 1867 the rules of the Club were revised and re-cast in the order 
 in which they now appear, though subsequently modified in various 
 particulars.^ 
 
 In January 1869 Mr. Grillion appears to have transferred the business 
 of the Clarendon Hotel to Mr. Bacon. 
 
 In May 1870 Sir James Buller East resigned the post of Secretary, 
 and Mr. Arthur Mills was elected Junior Secretary to fill the vacancy. 
 
 * It was in this year that one of the present Secretaries heard Mr. Disraeli, fresh from 
 the struggles of passing his Reform Bill through the House of Commons, describe the 
 Constitution of GriUion's Club as ' perhaps the only perfect Constitution in the world '.
 
 22 GRILLION'S CLUB 
 
 In the following year Mr. H. T. Wells, R.A., succeeded Mr. Richmond 
 as the artist for the Club portraits. 
 
 At the breakfast meeting on the 6th May 1871 it was decided to 
 change the day of meeting from Wednesday to Monday. At the first 
 breakfast meeting in 1872 this was modified by fixing Wednesday before 
 Whitsuntide and Monday after Whitsuntide. In July Easter was substi- 
 tuted for Whitsuntide. 
 
 At the breakfast meeting in May 1872 it was resolved that a Com- 
 mittee be appointed to consider the best mode of carrying out the wishes 
 of the Club that they should have a permanent memorial of Sir Thomas 
 Dyke Acland. It was ultimately decided to execute a reduced model 
 of the statue of Sir Thomas, at Exeter, by Mr. Stephens, A.R.A., to be 
 placed in the dining-room of the Club. The work was carried out by 
 Messrs. Hunt and Roskell at a cost of £98 13s. 
 
 The Clarendon Hotel was sold in 1872, and the last dinner there 
 was held on the 5th May 1873. The meeting-place was transferred to 
 Willis's Rooms, and the first dinner there was held on the 12th May 
 1873. It may be noted that Lord Beaconsfield (then Mr. Disraeh) dined 
 on both occasions, and that the latter was the last occasion on which 
 Samuel Wilberforce, Bishop of Winchester, dined with the Club. 
 
 At the breakfast meeting on the 7th March 1874 arrangements were 
 sanctioned for the migration of the Club to the Pall Mall Restaurant in 
 Regent Street. 
 
 On the 6th May 1876 it was decided that the day of meeting should 
 be Monday. 
 
 On the loth February 1877 the rules were amended by the omission 
 of the fine on marriage. 
 
 At the breakfast of 19th January 1878 a Committee consisting of 
 Lord Acton, Lord Houghton, Mr. Spencer Walpole, and the Secretaries, 
 was appointed * to examine the archives of the Club with a view to 
 printing extracts for private distribution to Members '. The outcome 
 of their deUberations was the preparation by Sir P. Grey-Egerton of 
 the volume of Annals already referred to, of which 250 copies were 
 printed in 1880, at an expense of £90 3s., for gratuitous distribution to 
 the Members of the Club. The Secretaries were authorized to present 
 copies not exceeding 20 in number to the representatives of deceased 
 Members.
 
 THE CHRONICLE 23 
 
 On the death of Sir PhiUp de Malpas Grey-Egerton, a resolution 
 expressing deep regret was passed at the breakfast of 7th May 1881, and 
 Mr. Arthur Mills was appointed to succeed him as Secretary. Lord 
 Norton, who had been elected a Deputy Secretary on the 8th January, 
 became Junior Secretary. 
 
 At the same breakfast it was announced that Lady Stratford de 
 Redchffe had presented to the Club the original portrait by Mr. G. 
 Richmond of the late Lord Stratford de Redchffe. The portrait was 
 gratefully accepted, and was ordered to be placed in the room in which 
 the meetings of the Club are held. 
 
 On the 3rd May 1879 the rules of the Club were again revised, and 
 the provision that Cabinet Ministers and others accepting office should 
 contribute a tenth part of their first year's salary was omitted, the 
 alternative of a payment of five pounds being retained. 
 
 At a special breakfast held on the 23rd June 1881 it was resolved 
 'that Lord Sherbrooke, Lord Stanhope, Lord Chnton, and the Hon. E. F. 
 Leveson Gower be requested to confer with the Secretaries as to the 
 finances of the Club '. There is no record of the reasons for this resolu- 
 tion, though it was probably due to the steady increase of the surplus. 
 There is no sign of any conclusion having been arrived at as a result of 
 the conference. 
 
 In May 1883, in the midst of the Whitsuntide recess, the Pall Mall 
 Restaurant came to a sudden end, and the Club was left houseless. The 
 Raleigh Club, situated in the same block of buildings, at once offered 
 accommodation, and conferred honorary membership on all the members. 
 The Club dined there for the first time on the 28th May 1883. 
 
 On the i6th June a Committee was appointed, consisting of the 
 Duke of Bedford, Lord Stanhope, Lord Clinton, Lord Sherbrooke, the 
 Hon. E. F. Leveson Gower, and the Honorary Secretaries, ' to consider 
 and report as to the future premises of the Club '. The result of these 
 deliberations is not recorded, but the meetings continued to be held at 
 the Raleigh Club till the end of 1886. At the beginning of 1887 the Club 
 removed to the Grand Hotel in Northumberland Avenue. 
 
 On the 25th June 1888 it is recorded that : 
 
 The Earl of Carnarvon moved the suspension of the Standing Orders, with 
 the object, it was understood, of obtaining permission to smoke. A discussion, 
 chiefly inaudible, ensued, which was terminated by the Chairman putting the
 
 24 GRILLION'S CLUB 
 
 question ' Content or not Content '. Nobody voted either way, thereupon the 
 Chairman declared the motion carried, and the Earl of Carnarvon smoked a 
 cigarette. 
 
 The consumption of two cigarettes is noted in the dinner book. 
 
 On the 15th February 1890 Rule VII of the Club as to ballots was 
 amended. The new version provided that three candidates should be 
 balloted for if there were more than two vacancies, that two black balls 
 should exclude, but that if there were only two, the ballot should be 
 repeated. 
 
 A special breakfast was held on the 29th May 1894 to consider the 
 mode of deaUng with the funds of the Club. Sir Redvers Buller proposed 
 the appropriation thereof to laying in a stock of champagne and port, 
 and this proposal was unanimously adopted. 
 
 On 25th March 1895 Mr. Gladstone, who had been a Member of the 
 Club since 1840, dined for the last time as one of a party of fourteen, 
 comprising Lord Fortescue, Mr. Lecky, Mr. Bryce, Lord Kimberley, 
 Lord Knutsford, Mr. Sidney Herbert, and Sir E. Grey. Dr. Benson, 
 Archbishop of Canterbury, was in the Chair, and the conversation during 
 the earlier part of the evening was mainly on the subject of forest trees. 
 Mr. Lecky started some historical topics, and Mr. Gladstone at the close 
 of the evening recounted several parliamentary and official anecdotes. 
 
 On the 22nd April 1895 Sir Robert Herbert presented to the Club 
 a gold snuff-box, formerly belonging to Mr. Phihp Pusey, a deceased 
 member of the Club. 
 
 At the beginning of 1897, the Secretaries being dissatisfied with the 
 high charge made by the Grand Hotel for corkage, the meetings of the 
 Club were transferred to the Hotel Cecil in the Strand, where better 
 accommodation was obtainable for a portion of the stock of wine which 
 was being laid in by the Secretaries. 
 
 In each of the years 1897, 1898, and 1899, special dinners were held on 
 the last Wednesday of July for the benefit of the Speaker (Mr. Gully, after- 
 wards Viscount Selby), and were numerously attended. On the first 
 occasion the Speaker, in the Chair, had on his right the Marquis of 
 Salisbury, then Prime Minister, and on his left the Earl of Kimberley, 
 Leader of the Opposition in the House of Lords. 
 
 In May 1898 Mr. Henry T. Wells, R.A., who since 1871 had been 
 the artist of the Club, was elected an honorary member.
 
 THE CHRONICLE 25 
 
 At the breakfast of February 1899 a resolution was voted expressing 
 the deep regret of the Club at the death of Mr. Arthur Mills, who for so 
 many years had acted as Secretary, and Lord Norton, Joint Secretary, 
 having asked to be relieved of his duties. Sir Robert Herbert and Sir 
 Redvers BuUer were appointed Joint Secretaries. Sir C. Thomas Dyke 
 Acland, grandson of the principal founder of the Club, was elected an 
 extra member. 
 
 On the 3rd February 1900, the yearly budget having come up for 
 discussion, it was resolved, on the proposal of Sir M. Hicks Beach (now 
 Viscount St. Aldwyn), that the payment to be made by members dining 
 shall be five shillings instead of ten shillings as heretofore. 
 
 On the 5th May 1900, and again on the 4th May 1901, alterations 
 were made in the rules as to the election of members, providing that no 
 voting paper should be valid unless the names of at least three candidates 
 were marked thereon, and that any candidate who at four successive 
 elections had obtained less than ten votes should be omitted from the 
 voting lists. 
 
 Special dinners to meet the Speaker were held on the 21st July 1900 
 and ist May 1901. 
 
 On the 7th May 1900 it is recorded that ' this being the sixtieth 
 anniversary of Earl Fortescue's election to the Club, he was present at 
 dinner, and his health was drunk with cordial good wishes for his con- 
 tinued presence. The toast was drunk in seventy-years old whisky, of 
 which he brought some bottles as a present '.^ 
 
 At the dinner of 19th July 1900 the Club sent a message to its 
 Secretary, Sir Redvers Duller, in South Africa. 
 
 To Duller fighting Grillion's greeting, 
 Drinks to our next meeting, 
 Cellar wants a buyer, 
 Don't be long. 
 
 On the death of Mr. Wells, in 1903, it was decided not to appoint an 
 artist to be exclusively painter to the Club, but to leave the choice to 
 members. 
 
 * This is almost the last instance of a very agreeable practice of presenting choice 
 articles of food and drink which in earlier years was much in vogue. Turtles, haunches 
 of venison, pine-apples, asparagus, wines and liqueurs of special excellence, and on one 
 occasion Jamaica ginger, were generously bestowed and gratefully consumed.

 26 GRILLION'S CLUB 
 
 In 1904 the Secretaries called attention to the rapid annual diminu- 
 tion in the cash balance of the Club in consequence of the reduced pay- 
 ment for dinner and the improvement of the wine. The matter was 
 discussed at the breakfast of May 7th. It was resolved to abohsh the 
 provision in Rule II that Cabinet Ministers should be exempted from 
 payment of subscriptions on a single payment of five pounds, and a Com- 
 mittee consisting of the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Balfour of Burleigh, 
 and Sir Edward Grey, was invited to consult with the Secretaries and 
 report on the steps to be taken to restore the equilibrium of the budget. 
 The report of the Committee showed that the reduced charge for members 
 dining had resulted in an annual deficit of rather more than £100. They 
 unanimously recommended that the charge for members dining should 
 again be fixed at ten shillings, that the number of ordinary members 
 should be raised from 60 to 80, by four elections per annum, and that 
 no more honorary members should be appointed until that number 
 had been reached. They moreover suggested that an ordinary member 
 should not be qualified to become an honorary member until he had 
 presented his portrait to the Club. 
 
 All these recommendations were adopted on the 8th February 1905. 
 
 On the 17th February 1906 the Hon. Arthur Elhot was elected to 
 the office of Joint Secretary, vacant by the death of Sir Robert Herbert. 
 
 On the 28th February 1909 Lord Sanderson was elected a Joint 
 Secretary to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Sir Redvers Buller. 
 
 On the 25th April 1910 thirty-two members attended at dinner 
 to discuss a proposal made by the Earl of Rosebery, that the two 
 yearly breakfasts at the. beginning of the session and on the first 
 Saturday in May, which had been regularly held since 1823, for the 
 discussion of business, should be discontinued, and that business should 
 in future be brought forward and ballots held after dinner on such dates 
 as might be fixed for the purpose. The opinion of the majority of those 
 present was in favour of the change, but it was decided that the 
 feeling of the Club should be ascertained by means of a referendum, 
 and the Secretaries were instructed to issue voting papers to all the 
 members. 
 
 At a breakfast held on the loth June following, it was announced 
 that 47 votes had been received in favour of the change, and only 10 
 against it, and the necessary alterations in the rules were approved.

 the second dinner of the year and the first dinner in May being designated 
 for the discussion of business and for ballots. 
 
 The Speaker having represented that he would, in consequence, be 
 deprived of his only opportunity of attending the meetings of the Club, 
 it was resolved that he should be presented with a box of cigars as a form 
 of consolation. 
 
 On the 26th February 1912 Sir George H. Murray was elected a Third 
 Secretary. 
 
 At the dinner of February loth 1913 the Secretaries announced 
 that the Club would complete its centenary on the loth of May follow- 
 ing. It was decided that the event should be celebrated by a dinner, 
 at which the Speaker should be invited to take the Chair, and the Secre- 
 taries were instructed to consult him for the purpose of fixing a convenient 
 date. The day selected was Friday, 30th May, when 29 members were 
 present to celebrate the occasion. The number was identical with that 
 of the members attending the dinner of the twenty-fifth anniversary, 
 but compared unfavourably with the attendance of 55 at the jubilee 
 dinner of May 6th 1863. The circumstances were, however, unpro- 
 pitious. Parliament had been sitting from the 7th of October until 
 the 5th of May, with only two short intervals at Christmas and Easter, 
 and had then separated for a Whitsuntide holiday of three weeks. Mem- 
 bers of both Houses were postponing their return to town until the 
 following week, and a considerable number of the most frequent atten- 
 dants at the Club dinners were prevented by engagements in the country 
 or by absence abroad from taking part in the celebration. The gathering 
 was, nevertheless, in many respects very representative of the com- 
 position of the Club, comprising several of the oldest members, and 
 both the Leader of the House of Lords and the Leader of the Opposition 
 in that assembly. The proceedings were marked by great cordiality, 
 and in deference to the general feeling that the occasion warranted 
 a departure from the practice of the Club, which precludes toasts and 
 speeches. Lord Lansdowne, who occupied the seat on the right of the 
 Chair, as senior member present,^ proposed the health of the Speaker. 
 
 ^ The seat on the left of the Speaker was occupied by Lord Knutsford, who, though nearly 
 twenty years older than Lord Lansdowne, was slightly junior to him as a member. Until 
 prevented by failing health he had been a frequent attendant at the meetings of the Club, and 
 on this occasion in his 88th year he again favoured it with his presence for the last time.

 That Right Hon. gentleman rephed in a discourse in which he alluded 
 with great feeUng to the box of cigars presented to him in 1910 on the 
 abolition of the Club breakfasts, and made it clear to his audience that 
 a repetition of this solatium for his enforced absence from the ordinary 
 meetings of the Club would render his exile more endurable. 
 
 The members present, seeing no prospect of an alteration in the rules 
 as to the sittings of the House of Commons which would enable them to 
 return to the practice of offering a special dinner during each session, 
 left the matter in the hands of the Secretaries, and a second box of 
 cigars, selected as not unworthy of the occasion and the recipient, was in 
 due course presented. 
 
 At the previous dinner of the 5th May the Hon. Arthur Elhot had 
 announced amidst general expressions of regret that he was compelled 
 to resign the office of Secretary, which he had held since February 1906. 
 The cordial thanks of those present were offered to him for his services, 
 and the duties of the office have thenceforth devolved on his two col- 
 leagues. Foremost among those duties has been the preparation of this 
 record — a task not wholly devoid of difficulty, which they have performed 
 to the best of their ability. 
 
 In offering to the Club what may, they fear, be regarded as a some- 
 what bald recital of the salient events in its past history, the Secretaries 
 desire to explain that an examination of the printed volume of Annals 
 and of the manuscript records has furnished them with little material 
 of a lighter kind which could be reproduced with profit in the present 
 day. The Club met in the past, as now, for the purpose of easy con- 
 versation ; there was no Boswell to record the more notable sayings, and 
 such witticisms as were committed to writing depend much for their 
 point on cryptic references to unexplained incidents or on personal 
 characteristics which are now forgotten. With the exception of two 
 short poems by Lord Houghton which will be found annexed to the list 
 of solitary dinners, they are mainly interesting as indications of the 
 geniality and almost riotous high spirits which prevailed among the 
 members even at times of severe political tension.^ In later years the 
 
 ^ For instance on the 5th April 1837 there is a note in Lord Stanley's handwriting :

 for a seconder having been clearly shown by a previous debate the same day in the House

 proceedings of the Club have possibly been more sedate, as becomes 
 a body that has reached the age of discretion, but it may safely be 
 asserted that there has neither been any perceptible decline in the 
 cordiality of its meetings nor has the conversation at its table become 
 less agreeable. That the Club has been both comprehensive and dis- 
 criminate in the selection of its company may be inferred from the 
 fact that since 1865 every Prime Minister, every Lord Chancellor, and 
 every Foreign Secretary has been chosen from among its members. 
 That it may long continue a notable illustration of the tolerance and 
 consideration which the leading members of political parties in this 
 country are wont to show to their opponents, and of the influence of 
 social intercourse in mitigating the animosities which too frequently 
 arise in the antagonism of public life, must be the earnest hope of all 
 its members. 
 
 ANNEX 
 
 Sir Spencer Walpole, who was himself a member of the Club from 1902 to his 
 death in 1907, and whose father's membership dated from 1850, relates the following 
 anecdote in his Essay on the Dining Societies of London {Essays Political and 
 Biographical, p. 244) : 
 
 ' In the closing months of the Melbourne administration party politics ran high, 
 and on one especial occasion Lord Derby (or Lord Stanley as he was then) waxed 
 warm in attacking a measure which Lord Morpeth (as Irish Secretary) was defending. 
 The debate had raged — we can apply no milder word — round a particular clause 
 
 of Commons : on this auspicious event Sir Robert Inglis called for, and bound himself 
 to finish a second bottle of Port.' 
 
 To this Lord John Russell has added : ' The last toast of the evening was Constitution 
 in Church and State, proposed by Lord John Russell, seconded by Sir Robert Inglis.' 
 
 A reference to Hansard's Debates shows that a motion by Colonel Thompson to refuse 
 consideration of the Army Estimates had dropped that afternoon for want of a seconder. 
 The Dinner Book shows that Lord John Russell was in the Chair, Lord Stanley on his right, 
 and Sir Robert Inglis on his left, and that the party (of nine) did consume 2 bottles of Port, 
 besides 3 bottles of Sherry, 4 of Champagne, and 2 of Claret. Everything else is left to 
 the imagination.
 
 30 GRILLION'S CLUB 
 
 which had been subjected to amendment, and which was again and again referred 
 to as the Amended Clause. When the members of the Club sat down to dinner that 
 evening only one chair, as chance befell, remained vacant, and that chair was next 
 the one which Lord Morpeth occupied. After dinner had commenced Lord Stanley 
 entered the room and naturally had to take the only vacant seat. The other members 
 present held their breaths, doubting whether even the traditions of Grillion's would 
 keep the peace between two such antagonists after such an encounter. Sir Thomas 
 Acland, however, who was in the Chair, summoned a waiter, and, pointing to a dish 
 of dressed lobster on the table, said, " Take that dish of dressed lobster immediately 
 to Lord Morpeth and Lord Stanley. Lord Morpeth ! Lord Stanley ! the amended 
 claws ! " A roar of laughter greeted this announcement, and conversation was 
 resumed with undiminished hilarity.' 
 
 There is no mention of this incident in the written records of the Club, nor have 
 the Secretaries been able to find any confirmation of it in the reports of Debates 
 in the House of Commons on the dates on which Lord Derby and Lord Morpeth 
 dined together at the Club. It seems probable that the incident occurred at the 
 dinner given to the Speaker at Greenwich on the 20th June 1840. There is no record 
 of the proceedings, but we know that 39 members were present, and the names of 
 Lord Stanley, Lord Morpeth, and Sir Thomas Acland are on the list of those who 
 intended to come. A Bill for the Registration of Voters in Ireland introduced 
 by Lord Stanley, the progress of which had been most determinedly opposed at every 
 stage, and which had given rise to several heated discussions, in consequence of the 
 violence of Mr. O'Connell's language, was at last got into Committee on the 19th 
 June. Lord Morpeth at once moved an important amendment in the first clause 
 in a long speech, to which Lord Stanley replied at equal length and with con- 
 siderable acrimony. The amendment was eventually carried by 7 votes. Lord 
 Stanley announced his intention of making the changes rendered necessary and of 
 persisting with the Bill notwithstanding these tactics, and it may be presumed 
 that the party at Greenwich may have been considerably disturbed at his arrival 
 the next day to take the only vacant chair next to his antagonist. 
 
 On the 1st July following, at a dinner of 17, Lord Stanley seems to have sat next 
 to Lord John Russell. A note was made by the Chairman, Lord Acheson : ' No 
 Secretary, dinner very pleasant, unusually so.' To this the whole party subscribed 
 their initials. Lord John Russell heading the signatures. Lord Sandon put the 
 qualification ' cum grano ', but whether as a reflection on his neighbours, or more 
 probably out of consideration for the absent Secretaries, there is nothing to show. 
 On this occasion, however, neither Lord Morpeth nor Sir Thomas Acland was 
 present, and on the only subsequent date before the close of the Melbourne Adminis- 
 tration when Lord Stanley and Lord Morpeth were both present at dinner (Jan. 27, 
 1841) neither of them had spoken in the House of Commons.

 Most of the solitary diners were content simply to inscribe their 
 names. Sir R. Inglis, in 1825, added a quotation : 
 
 La solitude est v6ritablement une belle chose, mais il y aurait plaisir d'avoir un 
 amy fait comme vous, a qui on pust dire quelquefois que c'est une belle chose. 
 
 Sir J. Macdonald, in 1828, wrote that 
 
 At this meeting of the Club its usages were in some respects departed from, 
 inasmuch as a variety of interesting speeches were made, and a variety of loyal 
 and appropriate toasts proposed from the Chair, and enthusiastically received by 
 the Company. 
 
 Lord Belgrave (1831) recorded that the company were ' unanimous 
 for Reform — of the Club '. 
 
 Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, in 1864, made a lengthy inscription.
 
 96 GRILLION'S CLUB 
 
 describing himself as having closed the dinner with a speech to Mr. Grillion 
 and the waiters which was received with loud cheers. 
 
 At the next dinner, the Bishop of Oxford being in the Chair, it was 
 proposed by the Earl of Clarendon and seconded by Colonel Wilson 
 Patten (afterwards Lord Winmarleigh) that Lord Houghton should be 
 appointed Poet Laureate of the Club for the purpose of writing an 
 appropriate ode on the occasion. 
 
 Lord Houghton thereupon contributed the following verses : 
 
 I 
 Alas ! my Bishop ! you in vain invoke 
 
 A Muse, whose joints are stiff with gout and time, 
 To gambol with you in prelatic joke. 
 
 Or raise, to Stratford's height, the serious rhyme. 
 
 2 
 
 Rather might you, in your embroidered prose. 
 Draw some fine moral from his wondrous fate — 
 
 How on the Worthiest fall the heaviest blows ! 
 How never lonely are the really Great ! 
 
 3 
 
 I will but ask — that, if this Book records 
 
 Ever again a solitary feast, — 
 Be He who dines, and He who notes his words. 
 
 As brave a Statesman and as bright a Priest. 
 
 Mr. Gladstone on the next occasion of a solitary dinner, in 1885, 
 recorded himself as having drunk one bottle of Champagne and appended 
 two quotations : 
 
 Among the faithless, faithful only he. 
 
 and : 
 
 The mind is its own place, and in itself 
 Can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven. 
 
 Lord Houghton was again invited to celebrate the occasion in verse 
 and produced the following poem : 
 
 Trace we the workings of that wondrous brain, 
 Warmed by one bottle of our dry champagne ; 
 Guess down what streams those active fancies wander, 
 Nile or Ilissus ? Oxus or Scamander ?
 
 OCCASIONS ON WHICH ONLY ONE MEMBER DINED 97 
 
 Sees he, as lonely knife and fork he plies, 
 Muscovite lances — Arab assegais ? 
 Or patient till the foods and feuds shall cease. 
 Waits his des(s)ert — the blessed fruits of peace ? 
 Yes, for while penning this impetuous verse, 
 We know that when (as mortals must) he errs, 
 'Tis not from motive of imperious mind, 
 But from a nature which will last till death, 
 Of love-born faith that grows to over-faith. 
 Till reason and experience both grow blind 
 To th' evil and unreason of mankind.

 NOTE ON THE CLUB PORTRAITS 
 
 These records would be incomplete without some consecutive narrative 
 of the origin and progress of the collection of portraits which now forms 
 such a distinctive decoration of its dining-room. 
 
 For some years previous to 1826 Sir Thomas Acland had employed 
 an artist, Mr. John Slater, to take likenesses in crayons of such of his 
 friends as consented to sit for the purpose. In May of that year it was 
 resolved that it was desirable to have an engraved portrait of each 
 member of the Club. For this purpose each member was requested to have 
 his portrait engraved from the drawing in Sir T. Acland's collection, 
 and to present one copy to every other member and three copies to Sir T. 
 Acland. The collection was to form a volume, for which Mr. George Agar 
 Ellis (afterwards Lord Dover) offered to provide an engraved Title Page 
 and list. In November following it was resolved that the portraits of 
 deceased members should be engraved at the expense of the Club. 
 
 This first volume, containing 61 portraits by Mr. Slater, was completed 
 in 1830. 
 
 It appears from a letter written by Sir Thomas Acland in May 1847, 
 which was printed and circulated to members, that Mr. George Rich- 
 mond, R.A., had succeeded Mr. Slater as the artist employed to draw the 
 portraits. The portraits of 17 members had been engraved to form the 
 commencement of a second volume. There were still 23 members whose 
 likenesses had not yet been taken, and these were urgently requested to 
 sit to Mr. Richmond. A copy of the first volume had been presented to 
 the Prince Consort through Lord Robert Grosvenor, and copies of each 
 portrait had also been presented to Mr. Grillion,^ and to Messrs. Colnaghi, 
 who had undertaken to provide for storage and distribution of the 
 engravings. 
 
 ^ The copies presented to Mr. Grillion were framed by him and hung in the dining-room 
 of the Club. He eventually presented them to the Club in 1869, when he gave up the 
 management of the Clarendon Hotel, and the Club made him a present of hfty guineas.

 100 GRILLION'S CLUB 
 
 A letter written by Sir Thomas Acland, in May 1862, states that 50 
 portraits were by that time either completed or in an advanced stage 
 for the formation of a second volume, that Mr. Richmond wished to retire 
 from the post of artist to the Club at the end of that year, completing any 
 work he might then have in hand before the end of the ensuing spring, 
 that the writer himself wished also to resign his task of supervising 
 the work of portraiture. Sir T. Acland added that he had taken 
 steps to provide a fresh frontispiece and list, corresponding to those 
 presented by Lord Dover for the first volume, the plates of which had 
 been broken up. 
 
 The second volume, containing 67 portraits, most of them drawn by 
 Mr. Richmond, was completed in 1864, and a Preface was written by the 
 Secretaries, Sir T. Acland and Sir James Buller East, an extract from 
 which is quoted in the Chronicle (p. 21). 
 
 A copy of this second volume was presented to the Queen in July 1865 
 as a companion to the previous volume, which had been placed in the 
 Royal Library. It was duly acknowledged by Sir C. Phipps with an 
 expression of Her Majesty's thanks.^ 
 
 At the breakfast of the 6th February 1864 a Committee, consisting of 
 the Bishop of Oxford, Mr. Stirling (afterwards Sir W. Stirling-Maxwell) 
 and the Secretary, was appointed to consider the best means of providing 
 some new arrangement for continuing the portraiture of the Club, and to 
 take action. This Committee was reappointed at the first breakfast of 
 the following year. There is no record of their having come to any 
 decision, but Mr. Richmond appears to have taken the likenesses of seven 
 members of the Club after the completion of the second volume. He had 
 been elected an honorary member of the Club in 1861, and his name 
 appears at intervals in the lists of diners down to the year 1880. 
 
 On the 15th February 1868 the question of the portraiture of the Club 
 was again raised, and a Committee, consisting of the Bishop of Oxford, 
 Sir W. Stirling-Maxwell, the Rt. Hon. Gathorne Hardy, Sir J. Buller East 
 and Sir Philip Grey-Egerton, was appointed to consider the best means 
 of carrying out that object. In May 1871 the names of Earl Stanhope, 
 the Earl of Salisbury, Lord Zouche, Mr. Lowe, and Mr. Arthur Mills (who 
 had recently been appointed Secretary in succession to Sir J. B. East) were 
 
 1 Copies of the Portraits have also been from time to time presented to the National 
 Portrait Gallery.
 
 NOTE ON THE CLUB PORTRAITS loi 
 
 added to this Committee. Shortly afterwards Mr. H. J. Wells, R.A., 
 was offered and accepted the appointment of artist to the Club. 
 
 The arrangement then made was that Mr. Wells should prepare 
 a crayon drawing of life size (for which he required four sittings). Mr. 
 Wells's fee for making the drawing and supervising the engraving from 
 it was ten guineas. The engraver's charge was forty guineas. The 
 original drawing remained the property of Mr. Wells, unless the member 
 wished to purchase it, in which case the total price (including the fee of 
 ten guineas) was forty guineas. 
 
 Members presenting a copper-plate engraving were entitled to receive 
 copies of all such portraits as the Club could obtain for them. 
 
 In 1893 Mr. Wells wrote to Mr. Arthur Mills suggesting that the cost 
 of the portraits might be much diminished if he were to make drawings 
 for reproduction by the autotype process. Two experimental likenesses 
 thus reproduced were exhibited at the first breakfast in 1896, and a new 
 arrangement was eventually made, which was set out in Rules dated April 
 1898. 
 
 Under this arrangement Mr. Wells undertook to make the original 
 drawing for the sum of fifteen guineas. One hundred copies were to be 
 supplied by the Autotype Company for distribution to the Club at a cost 
 of £10 8s. 6d. The number of copies to be presented to the Club was 
 subsequently increased to 150, at a cost of about £15 15s. The original 
 drawing became the property of the member. 
 
 A member, on presenting copies of his portrait, was entitled to 
 receive in return all existing portraits of past and present members of 
 the Club. 
 
 Mr. Wells was elected an Honorary Member of the Club in 1898. 
 
 At the close of the year 1902 Messrs. Colnaghi announced that they 
 would be unable for the future to undertake the storage and distribution 
 of the portraits, and the stock was transferred to the office of the salaried 
 Assistant Secretary (No. 60, St. George's Road, S.W.), where it is now kept. 
 
 The stock of a number of the older portraits was exhausted, and 
 arrangements were made, where practicable, for their reproduction. 
 
 On Mr. Wells's death, in 1903, it was decided not to appoint an artist 
 to be exclusively painter to the Club, but to leave members to select 
 any capable artist whose work could be satisfactorily reproduced by the 
 autotype process, and would be sufficiently in accordance with the
 
 102 GRILLION'S CLUB 
 
 style of the existing portraits. The Rules were accordingly modified, 
 and now stand as follows : 
 
 1. A member elected to Grillion's Club presents to each of the other members 
 his portrait in autotype from a drawing made by a competent artist approved by the 
 Club. When the artist recommended by the Club is employed, the fee payable to 
 him is 15 guineas. The drawing itself becomes the property of the member. 
 
 2. One hundred and fifty copies of the autotype are required, part for distribution 
 to the other members at the time entitled to receive them, and the remainder to 
 be kept in stock for future distribution. The Autotype Company supplies these 
 150 copies for about 15 guineas. 
 
 3. A member who so presents his portrait receives in return a portrait, if one be 
 in stock, of every member then and afterwards belonging to the Club whose portrait 
 has been presented. 
 
 4. Arrangements have been made for the reproduction, at a moderate price, of 
 most of the portraits not in stock. Any member (having presented his portrait) 
 who desires to obtain a copy or copies of any portrait to which he is not by these 
 rules entitled, should apply to one of the Secretaries. The charge for a portrait 
 so speciahy provided, except when a large number is required at the same time, 
 will be ten shillings a copy. A representative of a deceased member may be supplied, 
 at the discretion of the Secretaries, with any portraits at the same charge. 
 
 In 1905 it was further resolved that no member who had not presented 
 his portrait to the Club should be qualified to be an Honorary Member. 
 
 It must be admitted that the effect of leaving the choice of the Artist 
 to the discretion of members has not been wholly fortunate, and that 
 many of the recent additions to the collection have varied considerably, 
 both in style and in merit. It is obvious that no photographic process 
 can give artistic effects equal to the work of a skilled engraver. But it 
 would seem that the art of making a drawing which can be effectively 
 reproduced by the autotype method is one that requires study and 
 experience. It is much to be desired that the Club should revert to the 
 practice of sitting to a single artist who would continue the series in 
 a uniform style, and whose work would compare not unfavourably with 
 that of his predecessors. 
 
 The following is a list of the portraits as they now hang in the 
 dining-room of the Club. The names of the artist and engraver (or 
 lithographer) have been given in cases where these are known. The 
 portraits which are marked with an asterisk are those of which the 
 plates or stones are either effaced or broken, or have not been traced. 
 Some of the latter are possibly in the possession of relatives.
