James Augustus St. John
James Augustus St. John (24 September 1795 – 22 September 1875), was a British author and traveller.
==Life==
He was born in Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, Wales, the son of Gelly John, a shoemaker. He recorded that he received instruction from a local clergyman, eventually mastering the classics, and acquiring proficiency in French, Italian, Spanish, Arabic and Persian. As James John, his baptismal name, he became involved in radical politics. Under the name of Julian Augustus St John he went to London, where he obtained the post of deputy editor of Richard Carlile's radical newspaper ''The Republican''. In 1819, shortly after the Peterloo Massacre, Carlile was imprisoned and St. John briefly took over his role as editor.
He obtained a connection with a Plymouth-based newspaper, and when, in 1824, James Silk Buckingham started the ''Oriental Herald'', St. John became assistant editor. In 1827, together with D. L. Richardson, he founded the ''London Weekly Review'', subsequently purchased by Colburn and transformed into the ''Court Journal''. He lived for some years on the Continent and went in 1832 to Egypt and Nubia, travelling mostly on foot. The results of his journey were published under the titles ''Egypt and Mohammed Ali, or Travels in the Valley of the Nile'' (2 vols., 1834), ''Egypt and Nubia'' (1844), and ''Isis, an Egyptian Pilgrimage'' (2 vols., 1853). On his return he settled in London, and for many years wrote political leaders for the ''Daily Telegraph''. In 1868 he published a ''Life of Sir Walter Raleigh'', based on researches in the archives at Madrid and elsewhere. He died in London in 1875.
