The Times All the Crowd-Pleasing Tales of the Latest Scandals, and Gossip About the Famous of London
READ NOT: And yet — in fact you need only draw a single thread at any point you choose out of the fabric of life and the run will make a pathway across the whole, and down that wider pathway each of the other threads will become successively visible, one by one. — Heimito von Doderer, DIE DÂIMONEN HDT WHAT? INDEX TIMES OF LONDON TIMES OF LONDON 1785 January 1: John Walter’s career as an insurance underwriter at Lloyds of London had come to an unexpected sudden end in a flurry of insurance claims arising out of a hurricane in Jamaica. He was close to bankruptcy, but had become aware that an advanced method of typesetting allowing for more than one letter to be set at a time, called “logography,” had just been invented by Henry Johnson. Not only did this new method promise greater speed of typesetting, it also promised fewer typesetting errors. Purchasing Johnson’s patent, Walker set out to create a printing company to put out a daily advertising sheet that profitably would demonstrate this promising new technological efficiency to all — and thus make sales for it. On this day the 1st edition of his Daily Universal Register was put out for sale on London streets. The sheet was in head-on competition with eight other daily newspapers in London. Like these other newspapers, it would include parliamentary reports and foreign news, as well as its advertisements. Walter, however, was primarily concerned with the advertising revenue stream which the sheet should generate: “The Register, in its politics, will be of no party. -

We are haters of all monopolies, and among others of a monopoly of the elective franchise, by such a reform of Parliament, by means of universal suffrage, the mass, and with the mass the dregs, of the existing population.” (The Times, Editorial, 9 Dec. 1830) * new young liberal editor John Thadeus Delane (1841-77), independence even of liberal govs “To perform its duties with entire independence … the press can enter into no close or binding alliances with the statesmen of the day, nor can it surrender its permanent interests to the convenience of the ephemeral power of any Government. …” “… The duty of the journalist is the same as that of the historian,— to seek out the truth, above all things, and to present to his readers, not such things as statecraft would wish them to know, but the truth, as near as he can attain to it.” (The Times, Editorials, 6 &7 Feb. -

Letters from the “Gentlemen of the Press,” 1810-1845 David E. Latané Virginia Commonwealth University In John Wilson Croker: Irish Ideas and the Invention of Modern Conservatism, 1800-1835, Robert Portsmouth analyzes the way in which the newspaper press was manipulated via interlocking circles of journalists and politicians during the era of Reform. In addition to Croker, one of the important figures in the Tory press was his fellow Irishman William Maginn, and it was in the course of researching and writing William Maginn and the British Press: A Critical Biography (Ashgate, 2013) that I began collecting letters to and from members of the press. The letters presented here help reveal the shape of relationships that prevailed on Fleet Street at the cusp of the Victorian era. A quick note dashed off by legendary Times editor Thomas Barnes, for instance, to John Wilson Croker shows how careful Barnes was, even as his paper was supporting the Whigs, to avoid offense to a powerful Tory politician and Quarterly reviewer. -

Correspondence Between Dr. Benjamin Franklin and John Walter, Regarding the Logographic Process of Printing
1928.] Correspondence of Franklin and Walter 349 CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN DR. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AND JOHN WALTER, REGARDING THE LOGOGRAPHIC PROCESS OF PRINTING BY GEORGE SIMPSON EDDT O the very end of his long and busy life Dr. T Franklin maintained his interest in all that re- lated to the art of printing. The correspondence here printed took place in the years 1783, 1784 and 1785, after which there was a gap until 1789, when there was but one letter and that from Walter. Dr. Franklin died on April 17, 1790. During the years 1783-1785 the Doctor was living at Passy, as Minister Plenipo- tentiary of the United States to the Court of France. As is well known, he had a press in his house there, at which he printed, or had printed, passports and other oflBcial documents, and his famous bagatelles; he also had a small foundry and a shop in which he liked to work, as opportunity offered. It would seem that Dr. Franklin and John Walter never met, and that the latter was unknown to the Doctor until Walter wrote to him on December 29, 1783. John Walter was born in the year 1739. Not until 1782 did he become interested in printing. In that year his attention was called to the logographic process which had recently been invented by Henry Johnson of London. Walter purchased the patent rights of this invention, and acqviired premises in Printing House Square, calling his establishment the "Logo- graphic Office." The logographic process was not a success, although Walter printed some forty books by it, and also used it for a few years in printing "The 350 American Antiquarian Society [Oct., Daily Universal Register" (first issued January 1, 1785), and its successor, "The Times." With his first letter (that of December 29, 1783) Walter sent to Dr. -
