Since reading Professor A. Stanley Walker's article in the March Publications on “Peterloo, Shelley and Reform,” I have come across a somewhat similar article by F. A. Bruton, M.A., Litt.D., “The Story of Peterloo,” to which Mr. Walker makes no reference. Dr. Bruton writes in general from the point of view of the historian and in particular from the point of view of a citizen of Manchester. He draws material from several contemporary sources to which Mr. Walker does not direct us; and his narrative is illustrated with several portraits and contemporary prints and has, moreover, a valuable “Plan of Peterloo” which makes clear the position of the crowd and the disposition of the military forces. The effect of the “Peterloo Massacre” on Shelley does not, however, fall within the scope of Dr. Bruton's paper. Hence it does not anticipate or render nugatory the results of Mr. Walker's inquiries but is, rather, a parallel discussion along somewhat different lines. Students of Shelley will find the article of interest. It may be added that Dr. Bruton's paper was originally delivered as a lecture at the University of Manchester on the occasion of the centenary of the Massacre, August 16th, 1919.
