William Stephenson (junior) (2 September 1797 in Gateshead - 20 May 1838) was a Geordie printer, publisher, auctioneer, poet and songwriter born in Gateshead, and son of William Stephenson (senior). He started work as a printer and very soon opened his own business at the Bridge End, Gateshead. Much of his business seemed to come from the cheap chapbooks, song slips, many to the hawkers together with last dying confessions; these seem to be the objects which keep turning up in collections. Shortly after closure of the The Gateshead Intelligencer he gave up his printing work and became an auctioneer and succeeded in being a success. On his death, the Gateshead Observer of 26 May 1838 carried a notice which read “On Sunday (May 20), after a long illness, aged 40, much respected, Mr. W. Stephenson, printer" == Works == These include :- 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Stephenson (junior)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
