In
the
death
of
the
'Earl
of
Balfour.
A
personality
of
peculiar
aloofness
and
detachment,
he
had
become
an
Institution,
though
it
is
possible
the
full
story
of
his
ser-
j
vices
to
the
British
Empire
will'
never
be
written.
The
author
of
"A
Defence
of
Philosophic
Doubt,"
"The
Founda-;
tion
of
Belief,"
Theism
and
Humanism,"
was
not
a
man
who
depended
on
publicity,
transparent
cleverness
or
political
skill
for
hto
subtle
hold
on
the
public.
He
was
credited
with
never
reading
a
newspaper,
on
the
principle
that

milarly,
he
cared
nothing
for
the
recording
of
his
own
doings
and
achievements.
It
is
for
this
reason
that
many
of
his
works
may
go
un
chronicled.
Few
statesmen-
