of Canada, which position he held till 1878,
when he was succeeded by the Marquis of
Lorne. In 1879 Lord Dufferin was ap )ointed
Ambassador to St. Petersburg, ant three
years later was sent to Constantinople to

the affairs of the country after Arabi
Pasha’s rebellion, and in 1884 he succeeded
Lord Ripon as Governor-General of India.
