    From Wikipedia : "
    John Morley, 1st Viscount Morley of Blackburn, OM, PC, FRS, FBA (24 December 1838 – 23 September 1923) was a British Liberal statesman, writer and newspaper editor.
    Initially a journalist, he was elected a Member of Parliament in 1883. He was Chief Secretary for Ireland in 1886 and between 1892 and 1895, Secretary of State for India between 1905 and 1910 and again in 1911 and Lord President of the Council between 1910 and 1914. Morley was a distinguished political commentator, and biographer of his hero, William Gladstone. Morley is best known for his writings and for his "reputation as the last of the great nineteenth-century Liberals". He opposed imperialism and the Boer War. He supported Home Rule for Ireland."
    Based upon the information provided, this could have been made for use in Britain, Ireland or India.
    Mr Morley was also a very prolific and highly intelligent author whose works are still read and sought after.
