I have seen references to Lord Lansdowne (figuratively) threatening Ambassadors with a big revolver, cf. 'John Bull's Adventures in the Fiscal Wonderland'. In this Carrollian political satire, c. 1904, Sir Howard Vincent is shown as the White Knight, and one of the gadgets he carries is a Big Revolver, which he says is Lansdowne 's.

What is the reference? It seems to have been well known at the time, and should prob be sourced and put in the article. From the context of other talk about it I have seen, the Big Revolver seems to refer to imposing tariffs to retaliate against nations that have high tariffs.

I think we probably want to move this page to something more sensible thanHenry Charles Keith Petty-Fitzmaurice, 5th Marquess of Lansdowne, 6th Earl of Kerry and set up the appropriate redirects.Mintguy 07:26, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)

The article states he entered the House of Lords for theLiberal party in 1866. However the Liberal party didn't get used as a term officially until 1868. Did he really enter as a Whig? -- SGBailey 2004-02-26

The foundation of the Liberal Party is normally dated to a meeting in1859 and in any case the term was already in use before then.Timrollpickering 05:53, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Enoch Powell claimed that "Landsdowne was the last of the Whigs". -Johnbull02:20, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Was he related to the famousNorman-Irish family of that surname in southwestMunster? If so, what was the connection?86.42.117.220 (talk)05:05, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I meant to say that I deleted the statement that Lansdowne was the first Viceroy of India born in Queen Victoria's reign, as that seemed trivial.J S Ayer (talk)22:32, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
