The movers and seconders of the addresses in both Houses of Parliament: Lord Abercromby, 1864. Engraving from a photograph by John and Charles Watkins. 'The seconder of the Address, George Ralph, Baron Abercromby, of Aboukir, and Tullibody...is the eldest son of George Ralph, second Baron; he was born in 1838, and succeeded in 1852. In the same year he married Julia Janet Georgiana, only daughter of the then Viscount Duncan, now Earl of Camperdown, and a granddaughter of the famous naval Commander, Lord Duncan. Hitherto, as we believe, his Lordship has not appeared before the House of Lords in the character of a speaker, nor has he taken any prominent part in politics'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
