He entered See also:parliament in 1826, under the See also:title of See also:Viscount Howick, as member for Winchilsea, which See also:constituency he See also:left in 1831 for See also:Northumberland
.
On the See also:accession of the Whigs to See also:power in 183o he was made under-secretary for the colonies, and laid the See also:foundation of his intimate acquaintance with colonial questions
.
He belonged at the time to the more advanced party of colonial reformers, sharing the views of See also:Edward See also:Gibbon See also:Wakefield on questions of See also:land and See also:emigration, and resigned in 1834 from dissatisfaction that slave emancipation was made See also:gradual instead of immediate
.
In 1835 he entered See also:Lord See also:Melbourne's See also:cabinet as secretary at See also:war, and effected some valuable administrative reforms, especially by suppressing malpractices detrimental to the troops in See also:India
.
After the partial reconstruction of the See also:ministry in 1839 he again resigned, disapproving of the more advanced views of some of his colleagues
.
These repeated resignations gave him a reputation for crotchetiness, which he did not decrease by his disposition to embarrass his old colleagues by his See also:action on See also:free See also:trade questions in the session of 1841
.
During the See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)

When, on See also:Sir See also:Robert See also:Peel's resignation in December 1845, Lord John Russell was called upon to See also:form a ministry, Howick, who had become Earl Grey by the See also:death of his See also:father in the preceding See also:July, refused to enter the new cabinet if Lord See also:Palmerston were See also:foreign secretary (see J

He was greatly censured for perverseness, and particularly when in the following July he accepted Lord Palmerston as a colleague without remonstrance
.
His conduct, nevertheless, afforded Lord John Russell an See also:- ESCAPE (in mid. Eng. eschape or escape, from the O. Fr. eschapper, modern echapper, and escaper, low Lat. escapium, from ex, out of, and cappa, cape, cloak; cf. for the sense development the Gr. iichueoOat, literally to put off one's clothes, hence to sli
escape from an embarrassing situation
.
Be-coming colonial secretary in 1846, he found himself everywhere confronted with arduous problems, which in the See also:main he en-countered with success
.
His See also:administration formed an See also:epoch
.
He was the first minister to proclaim that the colonies were to be governed for their own benefit and not for the See also:mother-See also:country's; the first systematically to See also:accord them self-See also:government so far as then seemed possible; the first to introduce free trade into their relations with See also:Great See also:Britain and See also:Ireland
.
The concession by which colonies were allowed to tax imports from the mother-country ad libitum was not his; he protested against it, but was overruled
.
In the See also:West Indies he suppressed, if he could not overcome, discontent; in See also:Ceylon he put down See also:rebellion; in New See also:Zealand he suspended the constitution he had himself accorded, and yielded everything into the masterful hands of Sir See also:George.Grey
.
The least successful See also:part of his administration was his treatment of the convict question at the Cape of See also:Good See also:Hope, which seemed an exception to his See also:rule that the colonies were to be governed for their own benefit and in accordance with their own wishes, and subjected him to a' humiliating defeat
.
After his retirement he wrote a See also:history and See also:defence of his colonial policy in the form of letters to Lord John Russell, a dry but instructive See also:book (Colonial Policy of Lord John Russell's Administration, 1853)
.
He resigned with his colleagues in 1852
.
No See also:room was found for him in the See also:Coalition Cabinet of 1853, and although during the See also:Crimean struggle public See also:opinion pointed to him as the fittest See also:man as minister for war, he never again held See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office
.
During the See also:remainder of his See also:long See also:life he exercised a vigilant See also:criticism on public affairs
.
In 1858 he wrote a See also:work(republished in 1864) on See also:parliamentary reform; in 1888 he wrote another on the See also:state of Ireland; and in 1892 one on the See also:United States See also:tariff
.
In his latter years he was a frequent contributor of weighty letters to The Times on land, See also:tithes, currency and other public questions
.
His See also:principal parliamentary appearances were when he moved for a See also:committee on Irish affairs in 1866, and when in 1878 he passionately opposed the policy of the See also:Beaconsfield cabinet in India
.
He nevertheless supported Lord Beaconsfield at the See also:dissolution, regarditig Mr See also:Gladstone's accession to power with much greater alarm
.
He was a determined opponent of Mr Gladstone's See also:Home Rule policy
.
He died on the 9th of See also:October 1894
.
None ever doubted his capacity or his conscientiousness, but he was generally deemed impracticable and disagreeable
