Biographical notes:

Henry W. Lucy was a British writer and philanthropist. Born in Lancashire, he worked as a reporter before moving to London. He continued his career as a journalist for the Daily News and later The Observer; he was also on the staff of Punch, using the pseudonym Toby M.P. He wrote some fiction, but was chiefly a political writer and reporter, known especially for manuals of Parliamentary procedure. He started the Lucy Trusts to provide financial aid for writers, and was knighted in 1909.
