SPENCER, JOHNPOYNTZ SPENCER , 5th
EARL
  (1835-1910), English statesman, was the son of the 4th
Earl
  and his first wife, a daughter of William Stephen Poyntz, of Cowdray Park, Sussex. Born on the 27th of October 1835, . and educated at Harrow and Trinity College,
Cambridge
 , he was a member of parliament for a few months before he succeeded to the earldom in December 1857. His long career as a Liberal politician
dates
  from his acceptance of. the office of lord-lieutenant of Ireland under Gladstone in 1868, a post which he retained until 1874. When the Liberals returned to power in 138o he was appointed lord president of the council, but in 1882 be entered upon a second term of office as lord-lieutenant of Ireland. The three years during which Earl
Spencer
  now filled this position was a period of exceptional disorder in Ireland, marked by a long
series
  of outrages and conspiracies associated with the " Invincibles," but the courage and firmness which he. then displayed won the admiration of all, and made his adoption of the policy of Home Rule in 1885. an event of considerable
interest
 . In the short Liberal administration of 1886 he was lord-president of the council, and from 1892 to 1895 he was a very capable first lord of the admiralty; it. is on record that Gladstone, on retiring in 1904, would have recommended the Queen, if she had consulted him, to summon Lord
Spencer
  to. the premiership. From 1902 to 1905 he was the Liberal leader in the
House
  of Lords, and early in 1905, when a
change
  of government
was seen to be probable, it was thought in some quarters that SPENER, PHILIPP JAKOB (1635-1705), German theologian, he would be the most suitable Liberal prime minister. But was born on the 13th of January 1635, at Rappoltsweiler in his health broke down just at this time, and he took no further Upper
Alsace
 . After a brief stay in the grammar School of part in political life, although he survived until the 13th of Colmar he went to Strassburg in 1651, where he devoted himself
August 1910, when he died at Althorp. For
forty
 -five years the earl was a Knight of the Garter; he was lord-lieutenant of Northamptonshire for upwards of thirty years, and he had a reputation as a keen and daring rider to hounds. The fine library, collected at Althorp by the 2nd earl, was sold by him for 250,000 to Mrs Rylands, the widow of a Manchester merchant, and was by her presented to the city of Manchester.
Earl Spencer had no children, and his successor was his halfbrother,.Charles Robert Spencer (b. 1857), who became the 6th earl. As the Hon. Charles R. Spencer he was one of the parliamentary representatives for Northamptonshire from 188o to 1895 and again from 190o to 1905, and was vice-chamberlain of the royal household from 1892 to 1895. In 1905 he was appointed lord chamberlain, and in the same year he was raised to the peerage as Viscount Althorp.
