Radical Printer

David Osmond

Samuel Etheridge was many things: printer, writer, radical campaigner and Chartist were just some of them. He was a friend and mentor to John Frost, and he played a significant part in Newport life for more than forty years following his arrival in the town in 1810, tumultuous years which saw the tiny borough grow into a major seaport as a result of the booming iron and coal industries of the Monmouthshire valleys. This book tells the story of Etheridge’s life against the background of the rapid development of his adopted home.
