independence and authority were equally unquestionable. Canning's _Anti-Jacobin_ and the _Saturday Review_ of 1864 were the joint models Greenwood had before him. The idea was taken up by Mr George Smith, and the _Pall Mall Gazette_ (so named after Thackeray's imaginary paper in _Pendennis_) was launched in February 1865, with Greenwood as editor. Within a few years he had come to exercise a great influence on public affairs. His views somewhat rapidly ripened from what was described as philosophic Liberalism into Conservatism. No minister in Great Britain, Mr Gladstone declared, ever had a more able, a more zealous, a more effective supporter for his policy than Lord Beaconsfield had in Greenwood. It was on the suggestion of Greenwood that Beaconsfield purchased in 1875 the Suez Canal shares of the Khedive Ismail; the British government being ignorant, until informed by Greenwood, that the shares were for sale and likely to be bought by France. It was characteristic of Greenwood that he declined to publish the news of the purchase of the shares in the _Pall Mall_ before the official announcement was made. Early in 1880 the _Pall Mall_ changed owners, and the new proprietor required it to support Liberal policy. Greenwood at once resigned his editorship, but in May a new paper, the _St James's Gazette_, was started for him by Mr Henry Hucks Gibbs (afterwards Lord Aldenham), and Greenwood proceeded to carry on in it the tradition which he had established in the _Pall Mall_. At the _St James's_ Greenwood remained for over eight years, continuing to exercise a marked influence upon political affairs, notably as a pungent critic of the Gladstone administration (1880-1885) and an independent supporter of Lord Salisbury. His connexion with the paper ceased in August 1888, owing to disagreements with the new proprietor, Mr E. Steinkopff, who had bought the _St James's_ at Greenwood's own suggestion. In January 1891 Greenwood brought out a weekly review which he named the _Anti-Jacobin_. It failed, however, to gain public support, the last number appearing in January 1892. In 1893 he published _The Lover's Lexicon_ and in 1894 _Imagination in Dreams_. He continued to express his views on political and social questions in contributions to newspapers and magazines, writing frequently in the _Westminster Gazette_, the _Pall Mall_, _Blackwood_, the _Cornhill_, &c. Towards the end of his life his political views reverted in some respects to the Liberalism of his early days.
