Description
William J. Stewart was a solicitor based in south London. He was also an author of short stories and novels including 'Footsteps behind him: a novel of English life' published by Sampson Low in 1862. He was editor of the 'London Illustrated News' from 1860-1862, for which he wrote several short stories. He was a half-brother to Sir Richard Couch who became Chief Justice of Bengal.
