Before concluding this article it will be well to notice a few of the leading journals which have not been mentioned. _The Daily Telegraph_ was originally started at twopence, in 1855, by Colonel Sleigh, but he, getting behindhand with his printers to the amount of L1,000, sold them the paper for another L1,000, and in their hands it has since remained. The price was reduced to a penny, and, under the new management, its circulation rapidly increased. _The Standard_ dealt a heavy blow at it in 1858, by coming out suddenly one morning, without any previous warning, as a double sheet. This first number was given away in the streets, in vast quantities, thrown into omnibuses and cabs, pitched into shops and public houses, and so on. The sale of _The Telegraph_ so decreased that it was found necessary to enlarge it to the same size as _The Standard_, when its circulation rose again immediately. It has now the largest circulation in the world, more than 100,000 daily, a much larger London circulation than _The Times_, though a smaller provincial and foreign sale; and its clear profits are variously stated by persons who profess to be well informed, at different sums, the least of which is L20,000 a year. The chief causes of its success are its independent and uncompromising tone, the great pains it takes to gain early intelligence--it has frequently anticipated _The Times_ itself in foreign news--and the vigorous and able social articles of Mr. George Augustus Sala. _The Daily News_ was started as a Liberal and Reform journal in 1846. An enormous sum of money was sunk in establishing it, for it was not at first successful. Charles Dickens was the first editor, but politics were not much in the line of the genial and unrivalled novelist, and he was soon succeeded by John Forster and Charles Wentworth Dilke, whose connection with the South Kensington Museum and the great Exhibition has made him a knight, a C. B., and a very important personage. _The Daily News_ is now one of the ablest and most successful of London journals, and has had and still enjoys the assistance of the best writers of the day in every department. The line which this journal has always maintained toward America will forever earn it the admiration and gratitude of the United States. Another firm friend of the great republic is _The Morning Star_, the organ of Mr. Bright and the Manchester school, started in 1856. In addition to its political claims, it has a great hold upon the public as a family newspaper, by the careful manner in which everything objectionable is excluded from its columns. Its twin sister, born at the same time, is called _The Evening Star_. _Bell's Life in London_, a weekly journal, was originally brought out in 1820, and, although it has more than one successful rival to contend against, it still maintains its preeminence as the first English sporting paper. It is very carefully edited, each
