As a young man he had worked with Rivingtons and later with Henry Vizetelly and he had also been a journalist. Rivington ('At the sign of the Bible and Crown') was a conservative publisher specializing in religious works and textbooks, while Vizetelly was on the avant garde of the London book trade....Redway was established in York Street, specializing in esoteric books ... it was during this time that Redway acquired the copyright of Swinburne's poem A word for the Navy and published a limited edition.
