Francis William Blagdon : ウィキペディア英語版 | Francis William Blagdon Francis William Blagdon (1778–1819) was an English journalist and author. ==Life== Blagdon began his career as a newsboy for ''The Sun'' newspaper. He then became amanuensis to Dr. Anthony Florian Madinger Willich, a medical writer, who taught him French and German; he also learnt Spanish and Italian. Blagdon became associated with the ''Morning Post'' which he helped to edit for some years. The paper was then Tory in its views, and Blagdon took a polemical line. He was imprisoned for six months in 1805, for libelling John Jervis, Earl St. Vincent as a naval administrator.〔 In 1809 Blagdon came into conflict with William Cobbett, and in October of that year he published a prospectus, perhaps not intended seriously, of "Blagdon's Weekly Political Register", which was to commence ''The History of the Political Life and Writings'' of Cobbett, who was compared to Catiline.〔 As a Sunday anti-Cobbett paper, Blagdon's ''Register'' was subsidised by the government, as was a similar effort of Lewis Goldsmith. Financial speculation ruined him. The ''Phœnix'', another of his ventures, soon came to an end. He died in obscurity and poverty in June 1819, and a subscription was raised for his destitute widow and children.〔
