Theodore Cooke Taylor
SIR,—I have been commissioned to write the life of the late Mr. Theodore Cooke Taylor who died in October last at the age of 102. He was one of the pioneers of profit-sharing in his company of J. T. & J. Taylor Ltd., woollen manufacturers, Batley, Yorks, Liberal Member of Parliament for Radcliffe-cum-Farnworth (Lanes.), from 1900 to 1918, and one of the leaders of the victorious campaign against the Indian opium trade with China. Mr. Taylor's widow and his executors are rendering much assistance by placing his papers, including his long fragment of autobiography, at my disposal, but I should be grateful if you would permit me to appeal for further help from others who.may have letters or documents throwing light on his career. Any such information will be carefully preserved, copied, and returned as speedily
