John Cowell-Stepney did not attend the Basle Congress of the International Workingmen's Association

[edit]

The reference cited in support of Sir John attending the Basle Congress of the International Workingmen's Association simply states that "Cowell Stepney" was in attendance. I propose that this was, in fact, William Frederick Cowell Stepney (the eldest son of Sir John). William Frederick Cowell Stepney was a leading member of the IWMA (and served as its Treasurer).

Indeed, I question whether John Cowell-Stepney was the publisher of the Social Economist. It was his son, William, who contributed to the monthly magazine. William is a more likely candidate for having set up this publishing venture.
