• Statement 1 is incorrect: *Vicharlahari* (विचारलहरी) was started in Pune in 1852 by Krishnashastri Chiplunkar (his father), not by Vishnushastri directly.
• Statement 2 is correct: He took over the editing of the educational periodical *Shalapatrak* (शालापत्रक) around 1868–1871 and wrote fiery prose criticizing colonial education.
• Statement 3 is correct: In 1878, he established the famous Chitrashala Press (चित्रशाळा) to popularize Indian historical portraits and fine arts.
• Statement 4 is correct: In 1881, he along with Tilak and Agarkar founded the Aryabhushan Press, which printed the historic *Kesari* and *Mahratta* newspapers.
• Hence, statement 1 is incorrect.
• Key Takeaway: Vicharlahari was started by Krishnashastri Chiplunkar (not Vishnushastri); Chitrashala (1878) and Aryabhushan were Vishnushastri's creations.
