Background
Lord Derby considered Lord Henry 'by far the cleverest of the family'. 'Boo' is Henry's brother Lord Alexander, (1825-1892, M.P.), who aspired to be Lord Derby's Parliamentary Private Secretary. Lord Derby had two objections: they would not be in the same House and their shared love of racing would take them away from Parliament at the same time.
