From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anthony John Mundella (1825–21 July 1897) was an English Liberal politician and reformer.
Mundella was born in Leicester to an Italian father and English mother. He worked in the hosiery trade and became a partner in the Nottingham firm of Hine and Mundella.
He was elected as Member of Parliament for Sheffield in 1868, and when that constituency was abolished in 1885 he was elected as MP for Sheffield Brightside, a seat he held until his death.
He served as President of the Board of Education in Gladstone's second administration (1880-1885), and then as President of the Board of Trade in Gladstone's last two administrations and Rosebery's administration (1886, 1892-1895).
