E. Kay Robinson
Edward Kay Robinson (1857?-1928) was a journalist and popularizer of natural history studies. He founded the British Empire Naturalists' Association in 1905. As an editor at Lahore of the ''Civil and Military Gazette'' he encouraged Rudyard Kipling in his early years.
==Early life==
Edward was born in Naini Tal to Julian Robinson, an East India Company chaplain and Harriett Woodcock, daughter of Thomas Sharpe, vicar of Doncaster and canon of York. Julian Robinson later worked with the ''Pioneer'' newspaper. Before Edward turned nine, the family returned to England and settled at Cheltenham where he went to school at the Junior Proprietary School and College. Here he picked up an interest in natural history with an interest in the butterflies and moths. When Charles Darwin visited the school, Edward was selected to show him around. Edward had two brothers and three sisters. The eldest brother Philip Stewart (1847–1902) helped his father in the newspaper and pioneered the Anglo-India style of humorous writing. The other brother Harry Perry also wrote some books. Edward worked briefly as a schoolmaster before taking up journalism at the age of 19. He worked for a while at the ''Globe'' before going to Lahore in 1885, as editor of the ''Civil and Military Gazette'' where he was assisted by Rudyard Kipling. Kipling dedicated his "Life's Handicap" "To E.K.R. from R.K., 1887-89, CMG." A ''By The Way'' column was one of the innovations of Robinson at ''The Globe''.〔(Devoted to the early works of P. G. Wodehouse )〕 Robinson and Kipling wrote ballads signed respectively by "K.R." and "R.K."〔Robinson, Edward Kay (1896) "Kipling in India," McClure's Magazine, 2:106〕 He returned to England in 1895 and joined the ''Globe'' again. He started some newsletters from 1896 including "Science Gossip" and "Country Queries and Notes" and then merged them into the penny weekly ''Country-Side'' which was made as the official newsletter of the British Empire Naturalists' Association that he founded in 1905. He also published a monthly leaflet "The Meaning of Life", for those who try "to look through Nature up to Nature's God." He initially lived in London but moved later to Northgate Hall, Norfolk from where he also wrote several books including ''To-day with Nature'', ''My Nature Note book'' and ''The Country Day by Day''. A newspaper in 1907 reported his breakdown from overwork leading to him taking a break in the Canary Islands.
