Edward Morris Erskine
The Hon. Edward Erskine CB (28 March 1817 – 19 April 1883) was a British diplomat who was Minister to Greece and Sweden and Norway.
==Career==
Edward Morris Erskine was the fourth son of David Erskine, 2nd Baron Erskine, and his wife Frances, daughter of General John Cadwalader. He entered the diplomatic service as attaché to his father at Munich, and after various junior posts including attaché at Brussels he was appointed secretary of legation at Turin in 1852.〔(The London Gazette, 13 January 1852 )〕 He was transferred to the same post at Washington, D.C. in May 1858〔(The London Gazette, 11 May 1858 )〕 but moved again to Stockholm at the end of that year.〔(The London Gazette, 28 December 1858 )〕 In April 1860 he was posted to St Petersburg, again as secretary of legation,〔(The London Gazette, 17 April 1860 )〕 but moved on in November to the same role at Constantinople.〔(The London Gazette, 27 November 1860 )〕 In 1864 he was appointed Minister to Greece.〔(The London Gazette, 13 May 1864 )〕
During his stay there nothing of importance happened until the Dilessi murders in 1870 (the seizure of Lord and Lady Muncaster and their party by brigands, who killed several of the hostages). Erskine's handling of the affair was much criticized, but in his temperate reaction he reflected the view of the British cabinet, which wished to avoid being pushed into Palmerstonian 'gunboat' diplomacy.

In 1872 Erskine was transferred to be Minister to Sweden and Norway.〔(The London Gazette, 30 July 1872 )〕 His duties there included negotiation of a bilateral treaty on the extradition of criminals〔(Treaty Between Great Britain And Sweden And Norway For The Mutual Surrender Of Fugitive Criminals, 26 June 1873 ) – United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime〕 (superseded by later European conventions, currently the European Arrest Warrant). He remained at Stockholm until 1881, when he retired on a pension.
Edward Erskine was appointed CB in 1873.〔(The London Gazette, 25 February 1873 )〕
