Fonblancrue

Fonblancrue, Albany William (1797-1872), an English journalist, was educated for the bar, but took to journalism and joined the Morning Chronicle, and afterwards became leader-writer, editor, and proprietor of the Examiner. In 1852 Lord John Russell made him head of the Statistical Department of the Board of Trade, and from that time his connection with journalism almost ceased. In 1837 he published England under Seven Administrations.
