Henry Hucks (H.H.) Gibbs founded the St. James's Gazette out of the Paul Mall Gazette which had just been handed over to Henry Yates Thompson, the son-in-law of former owner George Smith. Thompson and his editor John Morely wanted to make Pall Mall a more progressive and radical paper, however, this goal was never brought to fruition, as Gibbs and his editor Frederick Greenwood took a very conservative approach to the St. James's Gazette, even becoming one of the first magazines to publicly support the Imperialist movement.
