Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Great American Newspaper Editors As a supplement to the previous bibliography, Masters of American Journalism, this bibliography lists material con cerning other representative journalists in America. The editors chosen were active in various fields. Carl Schurz, the patriot and orator, and Whitelaw Reid, the diplomat, are widely known in other than the editorial field. Henry Grady was both orator and editor, while George W. Childs gained a reputation as a philanthropist in the field of journalism. Nathan Hale and Thurlow Weed confined their efforts mainly to journalism, although the latter was prominent as a poli ticlan in his day. Samuel Bowles is perhaps the most representative of all as an editor and was chosen by Colonel Harvey in his Bromley Lecture at Yale University as one example of a master journalist. Since the material available on most of these editors is small, there has been little exclusion except in the case of Schurz and Reid, where some attempt at selection has been made. Newspaper articles have not been indexed but two issues will be found of especial value. The anniversary number of the Philadelphia Public Ledger (daily) for March 25, 1916, has important material about Childs and the Springfield Re publican (weekly) for December 8, 1888, published at the time of the removal to the new building, contains matter of interest about Bowles. Bibliographical information is listed whenever readily available, but is by no means exhaustive. In cases where more than one edition exists, the most available has been cited. The abbreviations Por. And o. P. Have been used to denote portrait and out of print. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
