Marriage of the Hon. G. N. Curzon and Miss Mary Leiter, 1895. 'The marriage of the Hon. G. N. Curzon, M.P., to Miss Leiter, on April 22, in Washington, U.S.A., may prove to be a more important event than at first thought it appears. For the bridegroom is not merely eldest son of Lord Scarsdale...Mr. Curzon is one of the rising hopes of the stern and unbending Tories. He was known in rhyme at the 'Varsity as "George Nathaniel Curzon, a most superior purzon," and his subsequent career has shown him to possess many of the qualities which make a statesman...He was Lord Salisbury's assistant private secretary in 1885, and in the Marquis's second Administration was appointed Under-Secretary for India. The Southport Division of Lancashire has been represented by him since 1886...Mr. Curzon has travelled far and wide, always with his eyes open and his pen in his hand, with the result that he is the author of "Russia in Central Asia," "Persia," "Problems of the Far East," and other volumes. The Hon. Mrs. G. N. Curzon, as we must now term Miss Mary Leiter, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Leiter, a wealthy family resident at Dupont Circle, Washington. She is said by those who are acquainted with her to be very piquant and pleasant'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
