Greorge Robert Charles Herbert, Thirteenth Earl of Pembroke and 

 Tenth Earl of Montgomery. Baron Herbert of Cardiff, Baron Herbert 

 of Thursland, and Baron Herbert of Lea. Died at Bad Neuheim, after a 

 long illness, on May 3rd, 1895. He was the eldest son of the Rt. Hon. 

 Sidney Herbert, afterwards Baron Herbert of Lea. Was born July 6th, 

 1850. Was educated at Eton. Succeeded his father as second Baron Herbert 

 of Lea in 1861, and his uncle as Earl of Pembroke and Montgomery in 1862. 

 From 1867 to 1871 he spent much time cruising amongst the islands of the 

 Pacific, with Dr. Kingsley — Charles Kingsley's brother. " South Sea 

 Bubbles, by the Earl and The Doctor" which went through three editions, 

 is descriptive of these voyages. He also wrote a philosophical treatise entitled 

 " Moots" In 1874 he married Lady Gertrude Frances Talbot, daughter of 

 the eighteenth Earl of Shrewsbury. In 1874-5 he was Under Secretary for 

 War under Mr. Disraeli, but soon resigned the post and ceased to take a 

 prominent part in politics. The fact that his health was never robust probably 

 , prevented him from taking the prominent place in public affairs to which his 

 . great abilities seemed to entitle him. As a landlord of the most excellent type 

 he will be widely missed not only at Wilton but throughout South Wilts.
