  Edmund Hodgson Yates - LoveToKnow 1911
EDMUND HODGSON YATES (1831-18g 4), English journalist and author, son of Frederick Henry Yates (1797-1842), was born at Edinburgh on the 3rd of July 1831.
Edmund Yates was educated at Highgate School and at Dusseldorf.
Besides editing Temple Bar and Tinsley's Magazine, Yates during the 'sixties took to lecturing on social topics, and published several books, including his best novel, Black Sheep (1867); and under the heading of "Le Flaneur" he continued in the Morning Star the sort of "personal column" which he had inaugurated in the Illustrated Times.

  Regrets and Reminiscences
To Edmund, it was of supreme importance that Fanny should enjoy her visit to town, and it was his greatest concern that she should not be too troubled by the grievous associations which the thought of London should ever cast up in her memory, unleavened as it was by any happier recollection.
Edmund could not be preserved from doubt, by the consciousness of being guiltless on this account; if his history with the family were to be a guide for his future conduct, he could hold out little hope that he should be as just to either of the Crawfords, as they deserved.
Edmund felt still his scrutiny upon his back as he walked down the street; he did not turn to look, but he could see nonetheless in his mind's eye the motionless figure by the window, watching, watching, until he was gone out of sight, and the crowd had swallowed him whole.

 Mansfield Park by Jane Austen: Chapter 19
Yates considered it only as a temporary interruption, a disaster for the evening, and could even suggest the possibility of the rehearsal being renewed after tea, when the bustle of receiving Sir Thomas were over, and he might be at leisure to be amused by it.
Yates with all the appearance of cordiality which was due to his own character, but was really as far from pleased with the necessity of the acquaintance as with the manner of its commencement.
Yates, as to the happiness of the arrangement, the three gentlemen returned to the drawing-room together, Sir Thomas with an increase of gravity which was not lost on all.

 The Play within a Play
Yates: It is not worth complaining about; but to be sure the poor old dowager could not have died at a worse time; and it is impossible to help wishing that the news could have been suppressed for just the three days we wanted.
Edmund: True, to see real acting, good hardened real acting; but I would hardly walk from this room to the next to look at the raw efforts of those who have not been bred to the trade: a set of gentlemen and ladies, who have all the disadvantages of education and decorum to struggle through.
Edmund and Tom look towards their mother, who is sunk back in one corner of the sofa, the picture of health, wealth, ease, and tranquillity, was just falling into a gentle doze, while Fanny gets through the few difficulties of her work for her.

Yates, 32, was mauled by Ming, his 2-year-old Siberian-Bengal mix, after stepping between the jungle cat and a house cat.
Yates told reporters that the tiger, who "tore open" his "whole leg down to the bone," was his best friend and part of the "Garden of Eden" menagerie he hoped to one day create.
But prosecutors charged Yates and his 68-year-old mother Martha — who allegedly looked after young children in the apartment — with reckless endangerment, endangering the welfare of a child, possession of a wild animal, and failing to exercise due care to protect the public from wild animals and reptiles.

The Honourable John Yates, this new friend, had not much to recommend him beyond habits of fashion and expense, and being the younger son of a lord with a tolerable independence; and Sir Thomas would probably have thought his introduction at Mansfield by no means desirable.
Yates, "with only just a side wing or two run up, doors in flat, and three or four scenes to be let down; nothing more would be necessary on such a plan as this.

But in 1874, with the help of E. Grenville Murray, he established a new London weekly, The World, " a journal for men and women," which he edited himself.
The World was the first of the new type of " society papers," abounding in personal criticism and gossip: one of its features was the employment of the first person singular in its columns, a device by which the personal element in this form of journalism was emphasized.

Edmund's daughter from a previous marriage (Deborah Fairfax) suspects Drothy is still insane and is forced to enlist the help of her psychiatrist boyfriend (Paul Greenwood).

At an early date he tried his hand at writing, and in 1851 attracted the attention of Charles Dickens, who published articles and stories by him in Household Words and subsequently in All the Year Round, and in 1856 sent him to Russia as a special correspondent.
About the same time he got to know Edmund Yates, with whom, in his earlier years, he was constantly connected in his journalistic ventures.
In 1860, over his own initials "G.A.S.," he began writing "Echoes of the Week" for the Illustrated London News, and continued to do so till 1886, when they were continued in a syndicate of weekly newspapers almost to his death.
