Captain Cook set sail in HMS Endeavour for his first voyage to the South Seas - and Stephen Austin established his printing business in Hertford. Stephen Austin's newspaper, the Hartford Mercury, was the first to be published in Hertfordshire. Stephen Austin III's first book was Lewis Turnor's History of the Ancient Town and Borough of Hertford -accompanied by a set of prints. In 1834 Stephen Austin launched The Reformer, a paper supporting the Liberal Party, which was immediately lampooned by its Tory rival.
