Arthur Anthony Baumann (9 January 1856 – 20 June 1936) was a British lawyer, author, newspaper editor, businessman and Conservative Party politician.[1][2]
He initially returned to his legal practice, but in 1895 changed career and entered business in the City of London as a director of a number of public companies.[2][3] From 1917 to 1921 he was the editor of the Saturday Review.[1][2]
He was known for his lively use of invective and his very Conservative views, a fact recalled on his death:
"Politically he never varied from his allegiance to the extreme Right, and in his books and articles, by which he is chiefly known to the public, he did not spare his chiefs whenever they strayed from the true faith of Conservatism as he understood it."[1]
