MALLET, The Eight Hon. Sib Louis, C.B., son of the late John Lewis Mallet, Esq., of Hampstead, Middlesex, by Frances, daughter of John Herman Merivale, Esq., of Barton Place, Devon, was born in London, March 14, 1828, and educated privately. He entered the public service as a clerk in the Audit Oface in 1839. There he remained eight years, when he was transferred to the Board of Trade in 1847. His literary skill, added to his official experience, rendered him peculiarly adapted to the post of private secretanr to the President of the Board of Trade, and he assisted in that capacity, first, Mr. Labouchere (afterwards Lord Taunton) from 1848 to 1852, and, secondly. Lord Stanley of Alderley, from 1855 to 1857. In Jan., 1860, Mr. Cobden signed the Commercial Treaty with France, and in April of that year the English Govern- ment sent a commission to Paris, with Mr. Cobden as Chief Commis- sioner and Mr. Mallet and Mr.

Ogilvie as Assistant Commissioners, for the purpose of making a tariff. Mr. Mallet soon impressed Mr. Cobden by " his strong intelligence and efficiency," and during the six months that the Commission re- mained in Paris he took his full share in the long discussions that were held with French officials and manufacturers. Mr. Cobden's Commercial Treaty might have possessed little real importance but for the successful drawing up of a satisfactory tariff, and with the latter achievement the name of Sir Louis Mallet will be perma- nently associated. In questions connected with Commercial Treaties Mr. Mallet's authority, particu- larly after Mr. Cobden s death in 1865, stood high. He consequently found incessant employment at the Board of Trade, and in 1865 he was appointed the English member of the Mixed Commission which met at Vienna for the purpose of examining into an Austrian tariff. His Austrian labours covered a period of two years, not terminating till the latter part of 1867. In 1866 he was made a C.B., and in Dec, 1868, he received the honour of knighthood. In 1872 he retired from the Board of Trade, and was immediately nominated to the Indian Council. He remained during two years a member of the Secretary of State's Council; but in Feb., 1874, on the death of his relative, Mr. Herman Merivale, he was offered by the Duke of Argyll the post of Permanent Secretary of State. In the following year he paid a visit to India. In 1883 he retired from the post of Permanent Under-Secretary of State for India, and his name was added to the roll of the Privy Council. Sir Louis Mallet is the author of a treatise on " Reciprocity," printed for the Cobden Club in 1879.
