The
Examiner,
a radical weekly magazine, was founded by John
Hunt and Leigh Hunt in 1808. The journal
gave support to radicals in Parliament such as Henry
Brougham and Sir Francis Burdett and
the political ideas of people like Robert Owen
and Jeremy Bentham. As well as advocating
social reform, the magazine published the poetry of young writers
such as Percy Bysshe Shelley and William
Hazlitt.
The Hunt brothers upset the authorities by pointing out on the front
page of every edition of the
Examiner that half the cost of
the price was the result of the government's "tax on knowledge".
In 1812 John and Leigh Hunt were arrested
and charged with libel after publishing an article criticizing the
Prince of Wales, the future King George IV.
The brothers were found guilty and sentenced to two years' imprisonment
and a £500 fine. In prison Leigh Hunt continued to edit the Examiner.
Leigh Hunt's friend, John Forster edited
the Examiner
between 1847-1855. The Examiner
ceased publication in 1881.
