TEMPLE, SIR RICHARD, BART

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 601 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TEMPLE, SIR RICHARD, BART . (1826-1902), English
administrator
 , a descendant in the female line of the Temples of Stowe, was born on the 8th of
March
  1826, and after being educated at Rugby and Haileybury, joined the Bengal Civil Service. His industry and ready pen soon obtained appreciation, and after acting as private secretary for some years to John Lawrence in the Punjab, and gaining useful
financial
  experience under James Wilson, he was appointed
Resident
  at Haidarabad. In 1867 he was made K.C.S.I. In 1868 he be-came a member of the supreme government, first as foreign secretary and then as finance minister; and he did admirable
work
  during the
famine
  of 1874, in the course of which he was made
lieutenant
 -
governor
  of Bengal. His services were re-cognized by the bestowal of a baronetcy in 1876. In 1877 he was made
governor
  of Bombay, and his activity during the Afghan War of 18788o was untiring. In r88o he left India to enter on a political career in England, but it was not till 1885 that he was returned as a conservative for the Evesham division of Worcestershire. Meanwhile he produced several books on Indian subjects. In
parliament
  he was assiduous in his attendance, and he spoke on Indian subjects with admitted authority; but he was not otherwise a parliamentary success, and to the public he was best known by the caricatures in Punch, which exaggerated his physical peculiarities and made him look like a lean and hungry tiger. In 1885 he became vice-chairman of the London School Board, and as chairman of its finance committee he did useful and congenial
work
 . In 1892 he changed his constituency for the Kingston division, but in 1895 he retired from
parliament
 , being in 1896 made a Privy Councillor. He had kept a careful journal of his parliamentary experiences, intended for posthumous publication; and he himself publisheda short volume of reminiscences. He died at
Hampstead
  on the 15th of
March
  1902. He was twice married, and left a daughter and three sons, all of the latter distinguishing themselves in the public service.
