Leno (1824-94) was a printer, publisher, poet and editor, and a significant figure in nineteenth-century radicalism. In 1845, while a printer, he led a group of radical workers who started a Young Men's Improvement Society and circulated a manuscript newspaper entitled the 'Attempt'. He then became branch secretary of the local…Chartists. In 1849 the 'Attempt' became a printed journal, the 'Uxbridge Pioneer'. In 1861 he was editor of the 'Poetic Magazine' and in 1881 of the 'Anti-tithe Journal'. He was the author of several collections of poetry, one of which - 'The Aftermath', 1892 - is prefaced by an autobiography. On one side each of three pieces of parchment, each roughly twenty-one inches by thirty-eight. In black ink with red borders.
