THE BRITISH PRESS
(To the Editor) Sir. —May I be allowed to point out a small error in your contributor “T.C.L.’s” article on “The British Press.” Here it is slated that the London “Daily Chronicle” was established by Charles Dickens. This cannot be correct as the “Chronicle” was founded in 1885, 15 years after Dickens’s death. It is the “Daily News” that owes its being to Dickens, the first number appearing on 21st January, 1816. The creator of Mr Pickwick resigned the editorship on the 9th of February of that year and was succeeded by his biographer, John Forster.—l am, etc., ■C. J. ALLISON. Thorrpe, 18th January.
