Clarification about paragraph alteration
[edit]Lest other users are confused by my statement in the article history, the section I stated the alteration was made should have read Other Public Positions.Cloptonson (talk) 19:31, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
Alleged Jewish Origins
[edit]I have added comment regarding his grandfather's biography, cited to Spinner and Goschen's work itself, about alleged Jewish origins. I do recall an anecdote recounted retrospectively in George Riddell's publication, More Pages From My Diary, 1908-1914 (first published 1934) - although I hesitate to introduce it in the article because I sold the book some years ago and cannot cite page number, date of the diary entry, and any source Riddell gave for the anecdote. Riddell recalled a Victorian practice of Chancellors of the Exchequer selling on their robes of office to successors, noting that Goschen refused the offer of Lord Randolph Churchill's robes, leading the latter to comment that he thought "he would have liked old clothes!" The comment was immediately explained in parenthesis "(G[oschen]. was a Jew.)" At the time of the diary entry both Churchill and Goschen were dead. If any user is fortunate enough to have access to a copy they are welcome to provide me the details I would have put in. I have found no mention of any Jewish ancestor on either side of his parentage in what reference books (eg Burke's Peerage, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography) I have consulted.Cloptonson (talk) 20:23, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Goschen minute
[edit]As President of the Poor Law Board, Goschen published the notorious "Goschen minute" in 1869. His criticism of the Reform Act 1832 led to the transfer of poor relief to the Local Government Boards in 1871. --Kolya (talk) 15:49, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
