Note: Wilkes was connected with the Empire from 1859 until ca. 1873, however it is unclear whether he was ever in fact editor. Although many of the obituary notices which appeared at the time of his death referred to him as 'late editor of the Empire', the obituary which appeared in the Empire stated only that he was 'for many years a writer in this journal'.
