At the death of Meredith in 1909, Lord Haldane was elected Vice-President and towards the end of the Committee meeting a suffragette rose and shouted: 'Mr Haldane, when are you going to carry out the wishes of Mr...

Indeed, thanks to a few contributions from well-wishers and after selling yet another important section of my...
