Bellamy was then thrown on his own resources, his ambition was swallowed up in the necessity of making his own living. Duncan Harrison, the owner and proprietor of the largest and most in¿uen tial newspaper in the city where Bellamy lived, had been an old and intimate friend of Bellamy's father, and it was natural that he should have taken the young man under his protection and made a place for him on the staff of his publication.At first Bellamy had chafed under the routine, for it was not what he had planned for himself. But, as the years went by, the great newspaper game, with its struggles and its hardships, its interests and its rewards.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
