He delivered it as an address in 1914 before the London Boys League of which he was president. The league was founded by WHITEHOUSE who was then Parliamentary Secretary to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. In his capacity as Parliamentary Secretary he came into intimate association with Shackleton during the preparations for the Endurance expedition.
