Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Forty Years´ Recollections, Vol. 2 of 2: Of Life, Literature, and Public Affairs From 1830 to 1870 It was within a few days after my return to London in December, 1847, that I received an invitation from Mr. Herbert Ingram, proprietor of the Illustrated London News, whose acquaintance I had made more than three years previously, in the cottage near Ayr, of Mrs. Begg, the sister of Robert Burns, to call upon him in reference to a new daily paper which he purposed to establish. The new journal was to be called the Daily, the Morning, or the London Telegraph - he had not decided which - and was to be printed by some new process, which had been perfected by one of his relatives, of a mechanical genius. It was to be a strictly liberal, if not radical journal, to advocate all liberal measures, but more especially the abolition of the punishment of death for all crimes whatsoever - murder and high treason both included. His object in sending for me was to offer me an engagement, if I would accept it, to write all or nearly all its leading articles upon foreign politics.
