JOHN BURNS
Ink signature of the labor militant turned Liberal Party
parliamentarian
Signature: "John Burns", 5x3¼. John Burns (1858-1943)
was a British union activist who served in the House of Commons from 1892
to 1918, first elected on an Independent Labour ticket but later moving to
the Liberal Party. Burns started out as a fiery militant, serving jail time for
participation in violent demonstrations in the 1880s. As a parliamentarian,
however, he espoused moderate reform measures, and served in Liberal Party
Cabinet posts from 1905. He was the first working class member of a British
Cabinet and of the Privy Council. A consistent opponent of war, he
resigned from his post as President of the Board of Trade when Britain
entered World War I. American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie granted him an
annuity of £1,000 in 1919, allowing him to spend the rest of his life in
research and writing, focused on the history of London and the Thames River.
Corners lightly worn. Lightly toned. Fine condition.
