_History of Newspapers._--
"The materials for a satisfactory history of newspapers, lie
scattered in facts known one to this person, and one to that. If
each London or provincial journalist, each reader, and each
critic, who has an anecdote and a date, would give it publicity,
some future volume might be prepared from the combined supply,
much more complete than any to be fairly expected from a
comparatively unaided writer who ventures upon an almost
untrodden ground."
The foregoing extract from the interesting volumes recently published by
Mr. Knight Hunt, under the unpretending title of _The Fourth Estate:
Contributions towards a History of Newspapers, and of the Liberty of the
Press_, has been very kindly recommended to our attention by _The
Examiner_. We gladly avail ourselves of the suggestion, and shall be
pleased to record in our columns any facts of the nature referred to by
Mr. Hunt.
_Steele's Burial-place._--Sir Richard Steele died in the house now the
"Ivy Bush" Inn, at Carmarthen, on the 1st of September, 1729.
Where was he buried?
Is there a monument or inscription to his memory in any church in or
near Carmarthen?
