George William Frederick Howard, 7th Earl of Carlisle, KG, KP, PC (18 April 1802 – 5 December 1864), styled Viscount Morpeth from 1825 to 1848, was a British statesman, orator, and writer.
He was lord lieutenant of Ireland twice (28 February 1855–February 1858; 18 June 1859–October 1864), appointed under Lord Palmerston's government because of his well-known partiality for the Irish, his popularity within Ireland, and his experience as chief secretary. Between posts, he travelled through Greece and Turkey.
George Howard, 7th Earl of Carlisle, was a Liberal politician and reformer over a wide range of issues in Britain and Ireland. He entered Parliament in 1826 as MP for his family seat of Morpeth.
Howard was named Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in February 1855, holding that position until 1858, and again from 1859 until his retirement in 1864. He died unmarried; thus his next surviving brother, William George, succeeded him as 8th Earl.
In 1835 he was appointed as Chief Secretary to Ireland. He was defeated at the general election of 1841 and remained out of parliament until 1846. He introduced the Public Health Bill in 1848, and succeeded his father as Earl of Carlisle the same year.
George William Frederick Howard (1802-64), 7th Earl of Carlisle, was born in Hill Street, Berkeley Square, London, on 18 April 1802. He was educated at Eton College before matriculating at Christ Church, Oxford, on 15 October 1819. In 1821 he won the university prizes for Latin and English verse.
On the death of his father in October 1848 Morpeth succeeded as the seventh earl of Carlisle, and took his seat in the House of Lords on 1 February 1849. On the appointment of Lord Campbell as lord chief justice of England, Carlisle became chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster (6 March 1850).
