Agricultural History Review, Volume 44 Part 2 (1996), pp. 181–190

Henry Corbet (1820-1878) and John Chalmers Morton (1821-1888) were two of the leading agricultural journalists of early and mid-Victorian England. They held influential positions as, respectively, editors of the Mark Lane Express and the Agricultural Gazette, and both men participated in a diverse range of additional agricultural activities.
