Description:... Excerpt from The Life and Bibliography of Andrew Brice, Author and Journalist: With Some Remarks on the Early History of the Exeter Newspaper Press; With a Supplementary Article on the Authorship of the "Exmoor Scolding and Courtship" IN the history of the literature, more especially of the journalistic literature, of the south-west of England during the past century, no figure stands out in more prominent relief than that of Andrew Brice of Exeter.' In selecting him as the main subject of the present paper, I am guided by the belief that as the annual gathering of the members of the Devonshire Association takes place this year in the city of his birth and of his death, of his fortunes and of his misfortunes, I take it for granted that the local interest attached to his name is a sufficient warrant for my so doing; and yet, famous as Andrew Brice was in his day, under the varied aspects of author, journalist, printer, and freemason; and well known as his name continues to be in this locality, comparatively little is known of him personally; the year of his birth is doubtful, and the small spot occupied by his remains no man knoweth.
