Good. **A.J.Balfour - Arthur Balfour, Politician and British Prime Minister 1902-1906. Whittinghame was his family house, and this book must be from his library. "On 25 July 1848 Arthur James Balfour was born in Whittingehame House, near Stenton, with an auspicious future ahead of him. Entering the House of Commons as a Unionist MP in 1874, between 1902 and 1905 he was to be Prime Minister, and later serve as Foreign Secretary from 1916-1919. Eventually he was to become the 1st Earl of Balfour. It was, however, in November 1917, during his term in the Foreign Office, that he was to make the Balfour Declaration, a statement of British support for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. After his death on 19 March 1930, his remains were returned to his birthplace and buried in the grounds of Whittingehame". (eastlothianatwar).
