George Canning (senior) was disinherited so his son was born into poverty. When a wealthy uncle took charge of young Canning's education, a small Irish estate, Kibrahan in County Kilkenny, was settled on him, giving him a very small, fluctuating income throughout his life, amounting to about £200 p.a. on average.
A most interesting and rewarding book, the author has approached Canning’s life largely chronologically which makes for greater understanding of his unfolding political and personal life. The author has succeeded admirably in making Canning’s life and times accessible and readable, and indeed most engaging. Definitely recommended.
