Sir Charles Edward Mallet (2 December 1862-21 November 1947), was a British historian and Liberal politician. He was knighted in 1917. He first stood for parliament at the 1900 General Election when he was the unsuccessful Liberal candidate for the Conservative seat of Salford West.〔British parliamentary election results 1885-1918, FWS Craig〕 Mallet was returned to Parliament for Plymouth in 1906. He was regarded as a Liberal Imperialist. In 1908 he was appointed as Parliamentary Private Secretary to Walter Runciman who was President of the Board of Education. In February 1910 Asquith was considering him as a possible Chief Whip but was dissuaded by the outgoing Chief Whip Jack Pease who felt he was out of sympathy with many leading Liberals over the Lords.〔A Liberal Chronicle 1908-1910 by Jack Pease〕 In March 1910 Prime Minister H. H. Asquith appointed him Financial Secretary to the War Office, a position he held until he was defeated in the December general election of the same year. He sought a return to parliament at the Salford North by-election, 1917 as a Coalition Liberal candidate but was defeated by an Independent Labour candidate.〔Debrett's House of Commons 1918〕 He did not contest the 1918 General Election. He was Honorary Secretary of the Free Trade Union.〔Debrett's House of Commons and Judicial Bench, 1922〕 He became a supporter of the official Liberal party that opposed the Coalition Government. He sought to make a return to parliament standing as Liberal candidate for South Aberdeen, in 1922 without success; He tried again in 1923 without success. He had published two works on Liberal politicians; Mr Lloyd George, a Study (1930) and Herbert Gladstone, a Memoir (1932).〔‘MALLET, Sir Charles Edward’, Who Was Who, A & C Black, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing plc, 1920–2007; online edn, Oxford University Press, Dec 2012 ; online edn, Oct 2012 (accessed 21 Feb 2014 )〕 His book on Lloyd George was entirely devoted to the shortcomings of the Liberal Leader.〔The Downfall of the Liberal Party by Trevor Wilson〕 Mallet died in November 1947, aged 84. ==References== 〔 * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Mallet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
