From Wiki: Arthur George Frederick Griffiths (9 December 1838 - 24 March 1908) was a British military officer, prison administrator and author who published more than 60 books during his lifetime. He was also a military historian who wrote extensively about the wars of the 19th century and was for a time military correspondent for The Times newspaper. His later accounts of crime and punishment in England were "sensational and grotesque", designed to appeal to the baser fascinations of his Victorian readers. Their success led him to write some 60 books, many of them mystery crime novels, such as A Son of Mars (1880) and Fast and Loose (1885). Alfred Charles William Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Northcliffe (15 July 1865 - 14 August 1922), was a British newspaper and publishing magnate.
