(Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic boo...)
Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

William Harcourt
Edit Profile
also known as
William George Granville Venables Vernon Harcourt
counsel professor statesman leadership
Education
He was educated privately and at Trinity College, Cambridge, and was called to the bar in 1854.
Career
Achieving great success, he was made queen's counsel in 1866 and Whewell professor of international law at Cambridge in 1869.
In 1868 he was elected to the House of Commons as a Liberal.
In 1873 he was appointed solicitor general.
From 1880 to 1885 he was home secretary under Gladstone, and in 1886 he became chancellor of the exchequer. Harcourt supported Gladstone on the question of home rule for Ireland, and during the Salisbury administration, 1886 to 1892, he was one of the most effective leaders of the Liberal opposition and was largely responsible for the Liberal victory in the 1892 elections.
As chancellor of the exchequer, 1892 to 1895, his budget of 1894 established the graduated estate duty and thus vitally changed the existing system of taxation. On Gladstone's resignation Harcourt was bitterly disappointed when Queen Victoria chose Lord Rosebery to succeed. Harcourt continued, however, as Liberal leader in the Commons. In December 1898 he resigned the leadership, although he remained a member of Parliament.
