Description:Excerpt from Dak Dicta: 1907-1910 Unless memory is at fault my earliest literary contribution was to 'King Edward's School Chronicle, ' Birmingham, in the mid seventies. The youthful sub-editor informed me in the fives-court that it had been rejected, and thus encouraged I tried again. I have lived and written in Birmingham, London and Calcutta. My writings, when resident in the two former places, are not at present available. I once had them collated and annotated, but the wise white-ants got hold of them, and they have yet to be dug out afresh from published archives of the two premier cities of Great Britain. I wrote frequently for both the Birmingham and London press before coming to India in 1886 and in 1893, and have edited 'Ye Manual, ' 'Birmingham Faces and Places, ' the 'Birmingham Town Crier, ' 'The Philatelic World, (Calcutta), and the 'Philatelic Journal of India, ' and have in addition compiled 'Calcutta Faces and Places in Pre-camera Days, ' temporarily edited 'Bengal Past and Present, ' both for the Calcutta Historical Society and (in collaboration with the late Mr. C. S. F. Crofton, I.C.S.) written 'The Adhesive Fiscal and Telegraph Stamps of British India' for the Philatelic Society of India. 'The Town Crier, ' a monthly (afterwards a weekly), began in 1861 and lasted until well into the present century. Its political influence in the Midland Metropolis was very considerable, and its cartoons, by my friend George Bernasconi, were long a feature of Birmingham social and political life. Auditor by profession and editor in "off" hours, my blue pencil has flourished in a double capacity and to some purpose over a busy series of years.
