Despite
his
successes
as
both
viceroy
and
foreign
secretary,
in
1923
Curzon
was
denied
the
office
of
prime
minister.
Bonar
Law
and
other
Conservative
Party
leaders
preferred
to
have
Stanley
Baldwin
rather
than
Curzon
as
prime
minister
and
these
views
were
made
known
to
King
George
V.
David
Gilmour,
in
his
biography
Curzon:
Imperial
Statesman
(1994),
contends
that
Curzon
deserved
the
top
position.
