Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
RICHARDS, ALFRED BATE (182o-1876) ,
English
  journalist, was born in Worcestershire on the 17th of
February
  1820, and was educated at Westminster School and
Exeter
  College,
Oxford
 . After taking his degree in 1841 he published, anonymously,
Oxford
  Unmasked, a denunciation of abuses in the university. Between 1845 and 1848 he wrote several dramas and some poetry, and in the latter year became editor of a weekly news-
paper
 ; the British Army Despatch. His temperament was strongly Imperialist; he opposed
Cobden
  and the Manchester school of politicians, and in a volume entitled Britain Redeemed and Canada Preserved predicted, thirty years before the event, the construction of the Canadian Pacific railway. In 1855 he was appointed the first editor of the London Daily Telegraph, and through the medium of that
journal
  strongly urged the formation of volunteer rifle corps. The National and Constitutional Defence Association was established in 1858 to carry out the
idea
 .
Richards
  himself raised a
regiment
  of a thousand working men in London, becoming major and subsequently colonel of the corps. In 187o he was appointed editor of the London Morning Advertiser, and retained this position till his death on the 12th of June 1876.
