Board, 1886. Mr. Chamberlain, the foremost man in the drama of the
Transvaal, the originator of the great Colonial movement which has made a
united family of the Empire, began life as an advanced Radical. On the
principle that extremes meet, he became at last the chief of the Tory
Cabinet. That he is well hated as he is well loved, is the natural
consequence of his staunchness in friendship as in antagonism. He has
iron nerves, iron will, and an iron constitution with which to wield
them. He has supreme confidence in himself, and thus maintains a youthful
and cheery optimism even in the face of the vilest abuse which the
members of his sometime party take a delight in hurling at him. Mr.
Chamberlain, who was born in 1836, has been thrice married: first, to the
daughter of Mr. A. Kenrick (mother of Mr. T. Austen Chamberlain, Civil
Lord of the Admiralty, M.P.); second, to the daughter of Mr. T. Kenrick;

officers have done in their whole lives. With the Spanish forces in Cuba,
with the Malakand Field Force, with the Tirah Expeditionary Force, with

his remarkable personality can be obtained than that suggested by the
graphic pen of Mr. Winston Churchill in his unique record of the
campaign: "A man of more than middle height, spare, keen-eyed, and of
commanding aspect. His highly nervous temperament, animating what appears
a frail body, imparts to all his movements a kind of feverish energy. Two
qualities of his mind stand forward prominently from the rest. He is a
singularly good and rapid judge of character. He takes a very independent
view on all subjects, sometimes with a slight bias towards or affection
for their Radical and Democratic aspects, but never, or hardly ever,
influenced by the set of people with whom he lives. To his strong
personal charm as a companion, to his temper, never ruffled or vexed
either by internal irritation or the stir and contrariness of events, his
friends and those who have served under him will bear witness. He has a
most happy gift of expression, a fine taste in words, and an acute
perception of the curious, which he has preserved from his literary days.
But it is as a whole that we should judge. His mind is built upon a big
scale, being broad and strong, capable of thinking in army corps, and, if
necessary, in continents, and working always with serene smoothness,
undisturbed alike by responsibility or danger. Add to all this a long
experience in war, high military renown both for courage and conduct, the
entire confidence and affection of the future Com.-in-Chief, the luck
that has carried him through so many dangers, and the crowning advantage
of being comparatively young, and it is evident that here is a man who in
the years that are to come will have much to do with the administration
of the British Army in times of peace and its direction in the field."

Republic. Com.-in-Chief of the Boer Army. Born in Cango, Cape Colony,
1831. Defeated Sir George Colley at Laing's Nek and Majuba Hill in 1881.
Suppressed the Swazis in 1895, and captured the Jameson Raiders in 1897.
_See_ vol. iv. p. 191. He was of Huguenot descent, which may have
accounted for his civilised attitude as statesman and politician, and the
wide views which some of his countrymen failed to appreciate. The General
was an inveterate smoker and a shrewd thinker. He had been to England
several times, and knew better than his compatriots the risk of
embroiling himself with a mighty nation. Nevertheless he went into the
field as a brave man, determined to meet the inevitable--fighting.
