"SIR HENRY RIDER HAGGARD (1856-), English novelist ( see 12.816), was knighted in 1912. In the same year he was appointed a member of the royal commission to inquire into the natural resources and the improvement of the trade of the British Empire. He took a keen interest in the after-war settlement of ex-service men, and in 1916 visited the overseas dominions in that connexion. He was created K.B.E. in 1919. Among his later novels are Child of Storm (1913); The Ivory Child (1916); Love Eternal (1918); The Ancient Allan (1920).
