John Abraham Heraud but in 1818 began writing for the magazines. Heraud had a large circle of literary acquaintances, including Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Robert Southey, William Wordsworth, and John Gibson Lockhart. Southey was a correspondent, who thought Heraud capable of learning anything, except "how to check his own exuberance in verse", as he wrote to Robert Gooch. Heraud wrote for the "Quarterly Review" and other reviews, and from 1830 to 1833 assisted in editing "Fraser's Magazine". There he was sub-editor to William Maginn, taking on literary criticism and philosophy. At this period he was still in partnership with his father, in legal stationery.
