Long, and Cornet Hodgetts, of whom Major Harcourt was miserably burned with matches. Notwithstanding this close watch and durance, Dudley and Major Elliotts contrived to break out of gaol, making their way over the tops of the houses, afterwards passing the guards at the city gates, and escaping into the open country.
Hodgetts published the first number of The Birmingham Advertiser. Meanwhile, Mr. Douglas sat in The Journal office, in New Street. It was a little room, about 10 ft. by 6 ft., and the approach was up three or four steps. Here he reigned supreme, concocted Radical leaders in bad taste and questionable English, and received advertisements and money.
On the Russian sovereigns: R. N. Bain, The First Romanovs, 1613-1725 , and, by the same author, Pupils of Peter the Great: a History of the Russian Court and Empire from 1697 to 1740 ; Eugene Schuyler, Peter the Great, 2 vols. , a scholarly work; Kazimierz Waliszewski, Peter the Great, an admirable study trans. from the French by Lady Mary Loyd , and, by the same author, though not as yet translated, L'heritage de Pierre le Grand: regne des femmes, gouvernement des favoris, 1725-1741 and La derniere des Romanov, Elisabeth R ; Alexander Bruckner, Peter der Grosse , and, by the same author, Katharina die Zweite , important German works, in the Oncken Series; E.

It was deplored that the "loyal" party was imperfectly represented in the town. It was considered desirable that the party should have an "organ" in the town; and it was decided to open a subscription there and then, to start one. The necessary capital was subscribed, and a committee was formed to arrange with Mr. William Hodgetts, a printer in Spiceal Street, for the production of the new paper.
Mr. Hodgetts subscribed to the fund to the extent of £50, and the singularly inappropriate name for a weekly paper, The Birmingham Journal, was selected. The first number appeared June 4th, 1825. The editor was Professor Bakewell. It continued in the same hands until June, 1827, when Mr. Hodgetts paid out the other partners, and became sole proprietor.
