Baron Dalling And Bulwer Bulwer Henry Lytton Earle, an English diplomatist and author, brother of Lord Lytton, born in 1804, died in Naples, May 23, 1872. He entered the diplomatic service at Vienna in 1829, and after being secretary of legation at Brussels, Constantinople, and Paris, was minister at Madrid from 1843 to 1848, when Narvaez charged him with intermeddling in the liberal interest with the domestic politics of Spain, and insisted upon his recall. Isturiz, the Spanish ambassador in London, was thereupon sent away by the English government, and diplomatic relations between the two countries were interrupted for nearly two years. Bulwer was created a knight grand cross of the bath, and Narvaez is said to have eventually apologized to him, at the instigation of Lord Palmerston. He married in 1848 a daughter of Lord Cowley and niece of Wellington. From 1849 to 1852 he was minister at Washington, where he negotiated the so-called Clayton-Bulwer treaty for the settlement of the Nicaragua canal question, which was ratified July 4, 1850. He represented Great Britain at Florence from 1852 to 1856, was subsequently sent on a special mission to the Danubian principalities, and held the post of ambassador at Constantinople from 1858 to 1865. While in that city he was grand master of the freemasons, and often delivered public addresses, in which he excelled.

He was liberal in his political views, and was elected a member of parliament for Wilton in 1830, for Coventry in 1831, and for Maryle-bone in 1834, retiring in 1837. He was a member for Tamworth from December, 1868, to March 23, 1871, when he was raised to the peerage. Among his writings are: " An Autumn in Greece" (1826); "France, Social, Literary, and Political" (2 vols., 1834); "The Monarchy of the Middle Classes in France" (2 vols., 1834-'6); " Life of Lord Byron," prefixed to a Paris edition of the poet's works (1835); "Historical Characters: Talleyrand, Cobbett, Mackintosh, and Canning" (2 vols., 1868); and "Life and Letters of Lord Palmerston " (2 vols., 1870). The last reaches to 1848, and he left in MS. a continuation of the work to 1851-2. He had also finished the greater part of an essay on the first Sir Robert Peel, which, with a sketch of Lord Brougham's career, was to be included in an additional volume of his " Historical Characters".
