ing, well on the bright side of his teens)
is a member of a highly-respected London family resident within a
stone's throw of Whitehall.

After a career full of promise at Oxford, Master ANTHONY ASQUITH's
father was called to the Bar; and although he no longer follows the
profession of barrister (in which, by the way, he rose to the
distinction of King's Counsel), he is not forgotten by many of his old
colleagues in Lincoln's Inn. It was at one time common knowledge that he
would certainly have been made a judge had he only remained active in
his profession. He has devoted the last few years, however, to political
work, which has always had a particular attraction for him. As a man of
sound judgment and ready acumen, Mr. ANTHONY ASQUITH's father is much
honoured in the councils of his own party; he is also a very effective
speaker, and is sure of a large and appreciative audience whenever he
addresses a meeting, whether it be in London or elsewhere.

We venture to predict that the world will hear further of the man whom
the remarkable performance of his youthful son has established within
the public eye.
