For those wishing to know: In his book "Bohemian Days" Mackay makes many
claims and tells many stories, carefully omitting enough details to make
them unproveable. I therefore followed up one of his claims, that he
started a career in journalism by writing a review of T. W. Robertson's
play "School". This is Mackay's review, his account of writing it, the
letters from the Times which occasioned it, and a review published prior
to Mackay's. The upshot is that this claim from Bohemian Days stands
proved.
All the best,
David,
Very hot England
