Synopsis

""The Earl of Elgin"" is a biography written by George M. Wrong about James Bruce, the 8th Earl of Elgin. Bruce was a prominent figure in British politics during the 19th century and served as the Governor General of Canada from 1847 to 1854. The book details Bruce's life, from his early years and education to his political career and accomplishments. It also explores his controversial decision to remove ancient Greek sculptures, known as the Elgin Marbles, from the Parthenon in Athens, Greece.
