Alfred Henry Forrester (10 September 1804 – 26 May 1872) was an author, illustrator and artist, who was also known under the pseudonym of Alfred Crowquill.[1] Alfred Forrester was the son of Robert Forrester of 5 North Gate, Royal Exchange, London, a public notary. He discovered an aptitude for literary and artistic pursuits from an early age, and was soon associated with writing for periodical publications, including Colburn's New Monthly, Bentley, and Punch magazine. He often wrote short tales, songs, children's stories, and occasional burlesques. He could also draw and worked on wood, etchings and caricatures using pen and ink, specialising in anthropomorphic animals, occasionally illustrating stories for his brother Charles Robert Forrester (1803–1850) who wrote under the pseudonym of Hal Willis. He also made several popular ceramics of contemporary subjects, including a "Memorial of the Great Exhibition of 1851" and a statuette of Wellington Bear. He was buried at West Norwood Cemetery.

Henry Charles Carey (December 15, 1793 – October 13, 1879) was a leading 19th-century economist of the American School of capitalism, and chief economic adviser to U.S. President Abraham Lincoln. Carey is best known for the book The Harmony of Interests: Agricultural, Manufacturing, and Commercial (1851), which denigrates the "British System" of laissez faire free trade capitalism in comparison to the American System of developmental capitalism, which uses tariff protection and government intervention to encourage production and national self-sufficiency.

This Is Horrible--But It Is A Tragedy Soon Played out. There Are Hundreds At This Moment Possessed of The _Consciousness_ Of Power Without The _Strength_ To Use It. To Such, A Little Help Might Lead To A Life Of Successful Toil--Perhaps The Happiest Life A Man Can Lead. A Heritage Of Usefulness Is One Of Peace To The Last. We Knew Another Youth, Of A More Patient Nature Than He Of Whom We Have Just Spoken. He Seemed never Weary. We Have Witnessed his Nightly Toil; His Daily Labor; The Smiling patience With Which He Endured the Sneers Levelled, _Only_ In English Society, Against "_Mere_ Literary Men."
