  Albany William Fonblanque - LoveToKnow 1911
From 1820 to 1830 Albany Fonblanque was successively employed upon the staff of The Times and the Morning Chronicle, whilst he contributed to the Examiner, to the London Magazine and to the Westminster Review.
Fonblanque was offered the governorship of Nova Scotia; but although he took great interest in colonial matters, and had used every effort to advocate the more generous political system which had colonial self-government for its goal, he decided not to abandon his beloved Examiner even for so sympathetic an employment.
Journalism before his day was regarded as a somewhat discreditable profession; men of true culture were shy of entering the hot and dusty arena lest they should be confounded with the ruder combatants who fought there before the public for hire.

Fonblanque had thereafter invited Savage to his yacht for a trip to the mouth of the Thames, and it was during this voyage that Savage first met Samuel Lover.
I had made Fonblanque's acquaintance the same summer, of which I therefore cherish the memory with gratitude for adding two such names to the host of friendships which I have had the happiness to enjoy in my time.
The names of Savage's earliest journalistic associates are preserved in Albany Fonblanque's autobiography.

 Charles Dickens, the Examiner, and "The Fine Old English Gentleman" (1841)
John Forster, shortly to begin his life-long friendship and commercial relationship with Dickens, became the magazine's literary editor in 1835, and, succeeding Albany Fonblanque, served as editor from 1847 to 1855.
Although Dickens displayed little interest in the serious verse of Browning, Tennyson, or Meredith, he enjoyed poetry of the sentimental and comic varieties, the former often written by middle-class women such as Adelaide Proctor, Felicia Hemans, and Letitia Landon.
Albany Fonblanque, the journal's political commentator since 1826, took over the Examiner in 1830, serving as editor until 1847.

Leigh Hunt had his wife and family with him, and visitors came every day—Charles and Mary Lamb, Hazlitt, Shelley, Barnes (later to edit The Times), Byron, Moore, Bentham and others.
The popularity of The Examiner was not maintained; but, with varying fortunes, it continued in the hands of the Hunts until 1821, and, eventually, found a new and famous editor in Albany Fonblanque, a radical of the Benthamite school.
Thus, during a quarter of a century, his paper was representative of the advanced group of politicians.

Albany Fonblanque, whose experiences began nearly forty years before mine, and who was not given to waste his praise, told me he considered Alfred Wigan the best 'gentleman' he had ever seen on the stage.
I think this impression was due in a great measure to Wigan's entire absence of affectation, and to his persistent appeal to the 'judicious' but never to the 'groundlings.' Mrs.

Such another instance of neglect it would be impossible to find in history, after due warning given.
Long ago, Albany Fonblanque said, "The sign of the fool with his finger in his mouth, and the sentiment, 'Who'd have thought it?' is the precise emblem of English jurisprudence." The same sign would seem to be applicable to some other branches of the English public service, as well as to that of the law.
Perhaps it was because of the warning that nothing was done, -- that being the usual course with governments; while it was thought a duty to treat with sort of spiteful neglect every warning that came from Sir C.

I send you a couple of reviews; the one is in the Examiner, written by Albany Fonblanque, who is called the most brilliant political writer of the day, a man whose dictum is much thought of in London.
My own conscience I satisfy first; and having done that, if I further content and delight a Forsarde, a Fonblanque, and a Thackeray, my ambition has had its ration, it is fed; it lies down for the present satisfied; my faculties have wrought a day’s task, and earned a day’s wages.
I am no teacher; to look on me in that light is to mistake me. To teach is not my vocation.

It very soon became apparent that there was no hazard here.
The Sketches were much more talked about than the first two or three numbers of Pickwick, and I remember still with what hearty praise the book was first named to me by my dear friend Albany Fonblanque, as keen and clear a judge as ever lived either of books or men.
Richly did it merit all the praise it had, and more, I will add, than he was ever disposed to give to it himself.
