James Sala (1792-1828), was the son of Claudio Sebastiano Sala, an See also:Italian, who came to London to arrange ballets at the theatres; his See also:mother, Henrietta See also:Simon (1789-186o), was an actress and teacher of singing. Sala was at school in See also:Paris and studied See also:drawing in London. In his earlier years he did See also:odd jobs in See also:scene-See also:painting and See also:book See also:illustration. He wrote a tragedy in See also:French, Fredegonde, before he was ten years old, and in 1851 attracted the See also:attention of See also:Charles See also:Dickens, who published articles and stories by him in See also:Household Words and All the See also:Year See also:Round, and in 1856 sent him to See also:Russia as a See also:special correspondent. About the same See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time he got to know See also:Edmund See also:Yates, with whom, in his earlier years, he was constantly connected in his journalistic ventures. From 186o to 1886, over his own See also:initials, he wrote " Echoes of the See also:Week " for the Illustrated London See also:News. Afterwards they were continued in a See also:syndicate of weekly See also:newspapers almost to his See also:death. See also:Thackeray, when editor of the Cornhill, published articles by him on See also:Hogarth in 186o, which were issued in See also:volume See also:form in 1866. In r86o he started See also:Temple See also:Bar, which he edited till 1866 when the See also:magazine was taken over by Messrs See also:Bentley. Mean-while he had become in 1857 a contributor to the London Daily See also:Telegraph, and it was in this capacity that he did his most, characteristic See also:work, whether as a See also:foreign correspondent in all parts of the See also:world, or as a writer of leaders or special articles. His See also:literary See also:style was highly coloured, bombastic, egotistic and full of turgid periphrases, but his articles were invariably ; full of interesting See also:matter and helped to make the reputation of the See also:paper. He collected a large library and had an elaborate See also:system of See also:commonplace-books, so that he could bring into his articles enough show or reality of special See also:information to make
excellent See also:reading for a not very See also:critical public; he had an extraordinary See also:faculty for never saying the same thing twice in the same way. He earned a large income from the Telegraph and other See also:sources, but he never could keep his See also:money. In 1863 he started on his first tour as special foreign correspondent to his paper. He spent the year 1864 in See also:America and published a See also:Diary of the See also:war. Expeditions to See also:Algiers, to See also:Italy during See also:Garibaldi's 1866 See also:campaign, to See also:Metz during the Franco-See also:German war, to See also:Spain in 1875 at the end of the Carlist war, were among his See also:early journalistic enterprises, the See also:long See also:list of which closed with his See also:journey through America and See also:Australia in 1885. In 1892, when his reputation was at its height, he started a weekly paper called Sala's See also:Journal, but it was a disastrous failure; and in 1895 he had to sell his library of 13,000 volumes. See also:Lord See also:Rosebery gave him a See also:civil list See also:pension of £See also:loo a year, but he was a broken-down See also:man, and he died at See also:Brighton on the 8th of See also:December 1895. Sala published many volumes of fiction, travels and essays, and edited various other See also:works, but his metier was that of ephemeral journalism.
