Thomas See also:Barnes as editor, a See also:post which he occupied for See also:thirty-six years
.
He from the first obtained the best introductions into society and the See also:chief See also:political circles, and had a position there such as no journalist had previously enjoyed, using his opportunities with a sure See also:intuition for the way in which events would move
.
His See also:staff included some of the most brilliant men of the See also:day, who worked together with a See also:common ideal
.
The result to the paper, which in those days had hardly any real competitor in See also:English journalism, was an excellence of See also:information which gave it See also:great See also:power
.
(See See also:NEws-PAPERS.) Delane was a See also:man of many interests and great See also:judgment; capable of See also:long application and concentrated attention, with power to seize always on the See also:main point at issue, and rapidly See also:master the essential facts in the most complicated affair
.
His general policy was to keep the paper a See also:national See also:organ of See also:opinion above party, but with a tendency to sympathize with the Liberal movements of the day
.
He admired See also:Palmerston and respected See also:Lord See also:Aberdeen, and was of considerable use to both; and it was Lord Aberdeen himself who, in 1845, told him of the impending See also:repeal of the See also:Corn See also:Laws, an incident See also:round which many incorrect stories have gathered
.
The See also:history, however, of the events during the thirteen administrations, between 1841 and 1877, in which The Times, and therefore Delane, played an important See also:part cannot here be recapitulated
.
In 1877 his See also:health gave way, and he retired from the editorship; and on the 22nd of See also:November 1879 he died at See also:Ascot
.
A See also:biography by his See also:nephew, See also:Arthur Irwin See also:Dasent, was published in 1908
