| Notes |
(Description and comment from M. Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', XI, 1954) Brougham founded the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge in 1827, for publishing educational works, &c, in two series: 'Library of Useful Knowledge', and 'Library of Entertaining Knowledge', followed in 1832 by the 'Penny Magazine', see No. 17267, &c. He was a prolific and dictatorial contributor to the 'Edinburgh Review', overriding the editor. See Aspinall, 'Brougham and the Whig Party', 1927, Appendix A. |

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
