("=) The Duke of Northumberland and the Marquess of Londonderry were recommended by Derby, though not formally nominated until after his resignation. (■*) The Earls of Carlisle and Ellesmere were recommended by Aberdeen, though not formally nominated until after his resignation. Aberdeen himself was nominated at the same time, the honour being conferred upon him by the Queen on his with- drawal from ministerial office. (^) The Dukes of Wellington and Devonshire were recommended by Palmerston, but not formally nominated till after his resignation. (') Derby himself is not included, he having been made an extra Knight by the Queen on his resignation of the Premiership. (s) The Earl of Rosebery's only recommendation to the Garter was that of the Marquess of Lansdowne, who was in opposition to his Government. (■>) Including the Earl of Selborne, one of the leaders of the Opposition, and the Dukes of Argyll and Fife, and the Earl of Minto, who also were Unionists. The two Dukes, nominated at the Coronation of George V as Extra Knights, were sons- in-law respectively of the two preceding Sovereigns, and Lords Selborne and Minto had rendered conspicuous public services in South Africa and India respectively.
