GLENELG, CHARLES GRANT, BARON eldest son of Charles Grant (q.v.), chairman of the directors of the East India Company, was born in India on Oct. 26, 1778, and was educated at Magdalene college, Cambridge, of which he be came a fellow in 1802. Called to the bar in 1807, he entered parlia ment for the Inverness burghs in 1807. He was a lord of the treas ury (1813-19), secretary to the lord lieutenant of Ireland (1819), vice-president of the board of trade (1823-27), and president in 1828. Joining the Whigs, he was president of the board of control under Earl Grey and Lord Melbourne from Nov. 183o to Nov. 1834. At the board of control Grant was primarily responsible for the act of 1833, which altered the constitution of the Govern ment of India. In April 1835 he became secretary for war and the colonies, and was created Baron Glenelg. His differences with Sir Benjamin d'Urban (q.v.), governor of Cape Colony, were serious ; but more so were those with King William IV. and others over the administration of Canada. He was still secretary when the Canadian rebellion broke out in 1837; his wavering and feeble policy was fiercely attacked in parliament ; he became involved in disputes with the earl of Durham, and the movement for his supersession found supporters even among his colleagues in the cabinet. In Feb. 1839 he resigned. Grant has been called "the last of the Canningites." He died at Cannes on April 23, 1866, when his title became extinct.
