About James Bryce, 1st Viscount Bryce

James Bryce, 1st Viscount Bryce,, was a British academic, jurist, historian, diplomat, and Liberal politician. He was a widely traveled authority on law, government, and history whose expertise led to high political offices, culminating with his successful role as ambassador to the United States from 1907 to 1913. He entered the House of Commons in 1880, successively representing the constituencies of Tower Hamlets and South Aberdeen for the Liberal Party until 1907. His intellectual influence was greatest in The American Commonwealth (1888), an in-depth study of American politics that shaped public understanding of America in Britain and in the United States. In 1895, he chaired the Royal Commission on Secondary Education. Bryce was President of the Board of Trade, British envoy and ambassador to the United States; historian H.A.L. Fisher described him as "the most successful ambassador who has ever represented Great Britain at Washington".
