Henry Yates (1797-1842), was See also:born at See also:Edinburgh on the 3rd of See also:July 1831. His See also:father and See also:mother (nee See also:Brunton; 1799–186o) were both prominent figures on the See also:London See also:stage from about 1817 onwards. Edmund Yates was educated at See also:Highgate School and at See also:Dusseldorf. In 1847 he obtained a clerkship in the See also:General See also:Post See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
Office, with which he continued to be connected up to 1872, becoming in 1862 See also:head of the missing See also:letter See also:department. He married in 1853, and soon began to write for the See also:press. See also:Charles See also:Dickens made him dramatic critic to the Daily See also:News, and he was a contributor
to See also:Household Words. He wrote several farces which were acted between 1857 and ,86o. In 1855 he had begun See also:writing a See also:column for the Illustrated Times (under Henry See also:Vizetelly), headed " The Lounger at the Clubs ": this was the first See also:attempt at combining " See also:smart " See also:personal paragraphs with the better class of journalism, and in 1858 Yates was made editor of a new See also:paper called See also:Town Talk, which carried the innovation a step forward. His first number contained a laudatory See also:article on Dickens, and the second a disparaging one on See also:Thackeray, containing various personal references to private matters. Thackeray, regarding this as a serious affront, brought the article before the See also:committee of the See also:Garrick See also:Club, of which he contended that Yates had made improper use, and the result was that Yates was expelled. Besides editing See also:Temple See also:Bar and Tinsley's See also:Magazine, Yates during the 'sixties took to lecturing on social topics, and published several books, including his best novel, See also:Black See also:Sheep (1867); and under the heading of " Le Flaneur " he continued in the See also:Morning See also:Star the sort of " personal column " which he had inaugurated in the Illustrated Times. On his retirement from the Post Office in 1872 he went to See also:America on a lecturing tour, and afterwards, as a See also:special correspondent for the New See also:York See also:Herald, travelled through See also:Europe.

Murray, he established a new London weekly, The See also:World, " a See also:journal for men and See also:women," which he edited himself. The paper at once became a success, and Yates bought out Grenville Murray and became See also:sole proprietor. The World was the first of the new type of " society papers," abounding in personal See also:criticism and See also:gossip: one of its features was the employment of the first See also:person singular in its columns, a See also:device by which the personal See also:element in this See also:form of journalism was emphasized. After Truth was started in 1877 by Mr Henry Labouchere (who was one of Yates's earliest contributors), the rivalry between the two weeklies was amusingly pointed by references in The World to what " Henry " said, and in Truth to the mistakes made by " Edmund." In 1885 Yates was convicted of a See also:libel in 1884 on See also:Lord See also:Lonsdale, and was imprisoned in See also:Holloway See also:gaol for seven See also:weeks. In the same See also:year he published his Recollections and Experiences in two volumes. He died on the zoth of May 1894. He had been the typical fldnenr in the See also:literary world of the See also:period, an entertaining writer and talker, with a See also:- TALENT (Lat. talentum, adaptation of Gr. TaXavrov, balance, ! Recollections of a First Visit to the Alps (1841); Vacation Rambles weight, from root raX-, to lift, as in rXi vac, to bear, 1-aXas, and Thoughts, comprising recollections of three Continental
talent for publicity of the See also:modern type —See also:developed, no doubt, from his theatrical parentage—which, through his imitators, was destined to have considerable See also:influence on journalism.
