Raised to the peerage in 1908, he helped steer the Parliament Act of 1911 through the House of Lords. John Morley has his place in Indian history as the other half of the Morley-Minto duo who produced the Morley-Minto reforms of 1909. One of the best biographers of his time, he wrote biographies of Voltaire, Rousseau, Oliver Cromwell and Gladstone.His political and critical writings include Critical Miscellanies, Diderot and the Encyclopedists and On Politics.
