Not illustrated. 1892 edition. Excerpt: ...famous knight of the pen, gave strength and variety to the descriptive articles in which from the first the Telegraph excelled, and to the kaleidoscopic views of social life which it began to present. It is sometimes said that the early success of the Telegraph was due to special terms with the trade; that, however, is not so. The paper has steadily refused to make the distinction between sale and circulation which most other journals have been compelled to recognise. It sells no copies ''on sale or return,'' and thus avoids the necessity of printing twenty or thirty thousand papers which it cannot sell. The plain fact was that the Telegraph, to use a hackneyed phrase, supplied ''a long-felt want.'' It started on the lines of tolerably advanced Liberalism, and during the first Gladstone ministry it was as firm and uncompromising a eulogist of its head as the Daily News is to-day. Mr. Gladstone was the Daily Telegraph''s hero, but when the Eastern agitation began the idol was dethroned, and Lord Beaconsfield stood in the vacant niche. In process of time, however, the Telegraph has ceased to represent, with the concentrated ardour of the party paper, any special form of political creed. It speaks for a certain medium form of rather bourgeois conservatism, and it has at times proved almost as free a critic of a Unionist government as of Mr. Gladstone''s Eastern policy, while on social questions it has shown, with some variations, its usual capacity for seizing a thread of public interest with a certain flamboyant vigour all its own. It still conceives its main message to be, as its shrewd editor-manager, Mr. Le Sage puts it, to make things interesting to the average man. It does not seek to expound creeds so much as fashions, principles so much as tides...
