1870-80 Sir Edward Baldwin Malet- Legation d'Angleterre to General Sir Martin Dillon
Sir Edward Baldwin Malet, 4th Baronet GCB GCMG PC (10 October 1837 – 29 June 1908) was a British diplomat.
Edward Malet came from a family of diplomats; his father was Sir Alexander Malet, British minister to Württemberg and later to the German Confederation. After three years at Eton College, Edward Malet entered the foreign service at the age of 17. He served as attaché to his father in Frankfurt, then in Brussels.
He was trained in the diplomatic service by Richard Lyons, 1st Viscount Lyons,[1] and was a member of the Tory-sympathetic 'Lyons School' of British diplomacy.[2]
He served as Secretary of Legation at Peking (1871–1873),[3] Athens (1873–1875),[4] Rome (1875–1878),[5] and Constantinople (1878–1879).[6] Malet formed close ties with Ottoman sultan Abdul Hamid II ("Abdul the Damned") during 1878, the year of the Treaties of San Stefano and Berlin.
In 1892 he built an immense Beaux-Arts villa "Le Chateau Malet" at Cap D’Ail, France.
On 19 March 1885, Edward Malet married Lady Ermyntrude Sackville Russell, daughter of Francis Russell, 9th Duke of Bedford and Lady Elizabeth Sackville-West.
The Malet Memorial Hall, a Tudor Revival-style building which had a church on its upper floor, was founded in his memory by his widow in 1912 in Bexhill-on-Sea. It opened in October 1913.
Malet Street, a street in the Bloomsbury district of Central London, has been named in his honour.
