In April 1852 he became the 2nd Baron Panmure, and early in 1855 he joined Lord Palmerston 's cabinet, filling the new office of secretary of state for war. Panmure held this office until February 1858, being at the war office during the concluding period of the Crimean War and having to meet a good deal of criticism, some of which was justified and some of which was not. In December 186o he succeeded his kinsman, the marquess of Dalhousie, as 11th earl of Dalhousie, and he died childless on the 6th of July 1874. Always interested in church matters, Dalhousie was a prominent supporter of the Free Church of Scotland after the disruption of 1843. On his death the barony became extinct, but his earldom passed to his cousin

peer of the United Kingdom as Baron Ramsay. George's grandson, Arthur George Maule Ramsay (b. 1878), became the 14th earl in 1887. See the Panmure Papers, a selection from Panmure's correspondence, edited in two volumes (19o8), by Sir G. Douglas, Bart., and Sir G. D. Ramsay.
