In August 1881 and, respectively, April 1882, the Fortnightly Review had two articles on treaties of commerce ('Treaties of Commerce a Surrender of Principle', 'No More Commercial Treaties'), signed James Bird. In the Wellesley Index to Victorian Periodicals, the author is. tentatively identified as (Sir) James Bird (1863-1925) of the London County Council, to which identification the caveat is added that the author 'would have been only 17 at date of first anfiele]' (op. cit., ii. 838). In my opinion, it is much more likely that the author was C. D. Morley's grandfather: his age, his rank at Chapman & Hall's, and the credo of free trade, confessed to in the two articles, all fit the picture.
