Durham, John George Lambton, 1st earl of (sh)




born April 12, 1792, London
died July 28, 1840, Cowes, Isle of Wight, Eng.

British colonial administrator in Canada.

He was a member of the British House of Commons (1813-28) and served in the cabinet of Earl Grey (1830-33). In 1838 he was appointed governor-General and lord high commissioner of Canada. He appointed a new executive council to placate the rebellious French Canadians of Lower Canada (later Quebec). Criticized in England for his action, he resigned. He later issued the Durham Report, which advocated the union of Lower Canada and Upper Canada and the expansion of self-government to preserve Canadian loyalty to Britain.
