Seller's Description:
Good. viii, 416 pages. Index. Frontis illustration. Cover worn and soiled. Some weakness in the hinges. Some page discoloration. Some edge wear. Name of previous owner on fep--Thomas J. Spinner Jr. This is believed to be Dr. Thomas John Spinner, Jr. who was a professor emeritus of history at the University of Vermont, author of several books, political activist and world traveler. Sir Henry William Lucy JP, (5 December 1842-20 February 1924) was one of the most famous English political journalists of the Victorian era. He was widely known on both sides of the Atlantic. Known as serious commentator of parliamentary affairs, he was also an accomplished humorist, and a parliamentary sketch-writer; acknowledged as the first great lobby correspondent. To the British and men like Ernest Shackleton, who named a mountain after him in Antarctica, he was a hero. But New York journalists saw the Englishmen as a mild joke. The mixed perceptions of his real personality have been left to modern biographers to decipher in more depth. He stayed with the Liberal newspaper for which he was promoted the editor: and Parliamentary sketch writer for Punch from 1881. Used the nom-de-plume "Toby, M.P." from 1881 to 1916. Wrote the weekly column "The Essence of Parliament" in Punch magazine for 35 years. When not writing under one of his pseudonyms, he was usually styled Henry W. Lucy. In 1880, he began writing for The Observer the Cross bench column, which continued for twenty-nine years. His remarkable flair for politics and parliamentary affairs soon brought him to the front rank of his profession.
