Book Description

Hunt provides a useful resume of Joseph Barlow which we quote verbatim: ‘A leading Newcastle radical and close friend of Joseph Cowen. Published the latter’s Northern Tribune, 1854-55. Visited by Mazzini and Garibaldi when the two were in Newcastle. Specialised in selling political and working class literature.’ This publication ceased with Volume 2 number 9 when it was amalgamated with “The Reasoner”. A loosely inserted card from a previous copy we handled, read “Catalogue No 101 May 1959 Dawsons of Pall Mall Item 450 8vo boards buckram back £7-10-00 Excessively rare provincial periodical edited by W J Linton, artist & poet, friend of Mazzini, and founder of several left wing periodicals designed to educate the working class. He emigrated to America in 1866 and founded a private press at Appledore. He died at New Haven, Conn. at the age of 88.” In addition, Linton was the engraver of the work.
