Biographical Note
A wood-engraver and poet, William James Linton (1812-96?) was also involved in advocating republican principles in the English Republic, a monthly magazine, and the Leader, a London weekly newspaper, both of which he started. About 1867 he went to America where he later set up his private press in a farm-house called 'Appledore' in the township of Hamden just outside New Haven, Connecticut. On this press he printed Windfalls, a collection of some 200 extracts from imaginery plays, a memoir of his friend James Watson in 1879; a small collection of translations in verse from Victor Hugo and Beranger in 1881; Golden Apples of Hesperus: Poems not in the collections in 1882; In Dispraise of a Woman; Catullus with variations in 1886; Love-Lore in 1887; and The Masters of Wood-Engraving. The Plaint of Freedom, anonymously issued in 1852, was also written by him.
