How JAMES PERRY BECAME AN EDITOR.-li The

story of his first connection with newspapers is curi-
ous enough, though we dare say there are many brilliant
ornaments of the profession who could tell as singular tales
of the lucky chances which first led them in that direction.
Perry had come to London with introductions to several
booksellers, meaning to begin life, as Johnson and other
famous men had begun it before him, as a publisher's
drudge. But work at that time happened to be not very
plentiful, and to all his applications a negative answer was
returned. About that time a new paper had been started,
under the title of the General Advertiser, and Perry, by
way of amusing his enforced leisure, struck off sundry light
sketches, varied with occasional letters to the editor, winch
he dropped into the letter-box of the office, without any
name affixed to them. As he found these articles were in-
variably inserted, he was led on step by step to write more;
but it does not appear that he ever thought of introducing
himself to the editor as the author of the sketches that found
so much.favour in his eyes. Fortune was to visit him from
another quarter; for, in the midst of this literary employ-
ment, he did not forget the purpose for which lie came to
London, but went on in his daily and discouraging calls on
the booksellers for employment. One day he called on
Messrs. Richardson and Urquhart, a publishing firm, to
whom, among others, he had introductions. He saw Mr.
Urquhart, a countryman of his own, who was engaged in
reading the Daily Advertiser. Scarcely lilting his eyes
from the paper, he returned the usual cold negative
answer; and then moved by some sudden impulse, he
said to him, 'lf you could write such an article as this,
I would find you immediate employment.' Ho pointed,
as he spoke, to an article in the Advertiser, which
Perry, on glancing at, recognised as his last anonymous
contribution. Of course, he claimed it, closed with the
offer of the worthy publisher ; and to prove that he was
not imposing on his credulity, he produced from his
pocket another article of the same nature, which he was on
his way to deposit in the editorial letter-box. To him that
interview was the stroke of fate, for Messrs. Richardson
and Urquhart were the principal proprietors of the paper;
and Mr. Perry's articles proved that he was just the kind of
young man they wanted. Modern newspaper men will
smile, and modern newspaper proprietors will envy, when
they learn what was considered the fair remuneration for a
newspaper writer in those days. For his daily services on
the Advertiser he accepted a salary of a guinea a week,
with an extra half-guinea for any services he might render
to an evening paper with which the firm was also con-
nected."—From London Editors," in London Society, for
September.
