Parliamentary Sketches: in the Lobby - a newly created senator, 1880. '"A Newly-Created Senator" has, whilst sauntering across Green Park, ruddy in face and rustic in garb, been taken before now for a well-to-do farmer. Mr. Lowe has since been elevated to another and a better place, as the saying runs. Leaving the representation of London University to fall into the capable hands of Sir John Lubbock (whose return to the House, by-the-way, was cordially welcomed), Mr. Lowe has taken the oath and his seat in the Upper House as Lord Sherbrooke. The Lobby of the Lower House may know him no more. Recollections of many an independent, acidulated speech of his, however, will now and again be conjured up. May not a certain "Cave of Adullam'' re-echo with them still?' From "Illustrated London News", 1880.
