Gents.Mag. (Feb.1830) p.159 - "Lord Byron, Mr.Murray, and Mr.Colburn"  - At a Trade Sae, Feb.19, at the Albion, amongst other things submitted to the hammer, were the copy-rights of 65 of Lord Byron's minor poems. Mr.Hanson, one of Lord Byron's Executors, and the two great publishers, Messrs.Murray and Colburn, were present.  Upon the lot being put up, Mr.Murray was the first bidder at 500 pounds: the biddin went on till it amounted to the enormous sum of 3,700 guineas, when it was knocked down to Mr.Murray.  At this moment Mr.Colburn claimed the purchase, and much altercation ensued, when the room beame in a state of complete confusion, the Company contending on one hand that it was Mr.Murray's, and Mr.Colburn on the other that it was his. It was a very considerable time before Mr.Colburn could get a hearing, when he submitted the case to the company: he stated that he had given the auctioneer unlimited authority to go on bidding till he desired him to stop, which the auctioneer did not deny.  Finally, Mr.Colburn very handsomely gave the purchase up to Mr.Murray, which information was received by the Company in terms of acclamation; when, after an hour's altercation, the business of the day went on. [list of poems] --- The copyright of eleven cantos of Don Juan, (V to XVI) was the next lot sold, which was bought in by the executors of Lord Byron for 310 guineas."

The Bookseller (7 Nov 1888) - "Bentley's Trade Sale" - The last of anything is precious, and the last exercise of a custom which has two hundred years of history is doubly so.  The rapidity of the age we live in seems to have outdistanced the utility of many time-honoured institutions, and amongst others Trade Sale Dinners.  Time was when Mr.Bentley's Sale was on of a list; time is when it is the solitary head of the array. (Of Mr.Quaritch's sale we have no official cognisance.  It may be held on the day and date assigned to it, but of that we have no certain testimony. Mr.Quaritch is a seller of old books, but is historically a young bookseller. His date is later than Bohn in the annals of the trade.)  About the beginning of the nineteenth century, which, according to Lord Macauley, was A.D.1832, Bentley's sale was a thing of annual custom.  We - that is to say, the booksellers of London and Westminster - were annually invited to it.  We could not always go, because we could not always buy, and booksellers, whare mostly gentlemen, cannot accept hospitlity under false pretences. The Bentley sale at the Albion on the 24th ult. Had therefore a special significance.  The great buyers of Simpkin, Hamilton, Kent, Mudie, Smith, and the Grosvenor Library, were, of course, present, so also was Mr.Sotheran and MR.William Glaisher, of the silvery head.  But in a fraternity of booksellers we have no concern with individuals.  They bought as became their judgement. Mr.Frith's "Further Reminiscences" were gobbled up to the last copy, and a second edition forthwith placed in demand. "John Francis and The Athenaeum" was, of course, taken up with freedom, "Lord Westbury;s Life" with circumspection, and a new edition of O'Meara's "Napoleon", with notes and illustrations, was subscribed for with considerable activity.  We need not recapitulate the list.  The fotune of Messrs.Bentley's books at a trade sale is soon known.
  It is curious that the form of trade sale catalogues should have remained so long unchanged.  Theold-fashined yellow-wofe post folios of Murray are well remembered.  Those of Bentley are somewhat different.  Their catalogues wer printed in red and black for some years, but since 1885 in blue and brown, and with a single exception - in 1880 - their dinners always took place at the Albion.  Messrs.Bentley usually invite a few literary friends to meet their acquaintances at their annual dinners, and at the last occasion amongst the guests were: Mr.Dubourg, author of "Old Men and New Acres", Mr.Alfred Alaric Watts, Julian Marshall, Richard Edgcume, and E.J.Goodman, othor of "Too Curious".

N.B. The last Bentley dinner Sale did not take place until 1897, ten years later than the one mentioned here.

1808, June, Died, Samuel Goadby, stationer, at the royal exchange, London, in the eighty-ninth year of his age. It is hoped, that the remark will not be thought out of place; but, if a character is to be held up to the public as a proper subject for their respect and imitation, domestic and social virtues, piety and benevolence must form the grand outlines of a proper object of real respect  The hero, the statesman, the poet, or the painter, demand, and frequently, as such, deserve our admiation; but it is only to the man of domestic worth and social excellence, that the homage of the virtuous heart will ever be offered.  Mr.Goadby was a man of universal benevolence, and of unwearied assiduity in every good work; to feel for misery, and relieve it, was the business of his life  He was the son of Samuel Goadby, who enjoyed a lucrative and respectable place under the city of London, was born in Moorfields, Sept. 20, 1719, and a proper age was bound apprentice to a Mr.Virtue, a stationer at the royal exchange; and either a short time before Mr.Goadby had completed his apprenticeship, or very soon after, Mr.Virtue died, leaving a widow and two daughters.  Mr.Goadby, at this early period of life, and conducted himself in so exemplary a manner, that it was thought right to take him into partnership with Mrs.Virtue; and at the expiration of eleven years, their interest was made one by marriage.  Mrs.Goadby did not live more than fourteen years after their union; but, previous to her death, she said, that her marriage with Mr.Goadby was one of the most propitious circumstances of her life. Mr.Goadby was one of the six gentlemen, who about the year 1750, formed a society for the promotion of religious knowledge amongst the poor; and, for many years, he sent a rich supply of bibles, testaments, and pious books, for the poor of Hadleigh, and the villages around; and subscribed #50 to the patriotic fund; he was also, for many years, a subscriber to the lying-in charity, and to several dispensaries; and, by his will, left handsome legacies to the institutions he had subscribed to.  Mr.Goadby's shop, at the royal exhchange, was for many years, in an evening, the meeting-place of a select party of men of superior abilities, for the pupose of conversation, and they had a very different effect upon the members of this friendly circle, to that produced by convivial meetings, where wine and riot preclude sentiment, and destroy reason.  Mr.Goadby had survived every member of the circle, in which he had for many years enjoyed so much rational satisfaction.  He had many singularities; he was very nice in his person; dressed very plain; but had made no change in the cut of his coat for near fifty years.  He was a dissenter from the cermonies of the establishment; but he felt all that cordiaity which Christianity inculcates, for every good man, though he might not be able to say Amen to his creed in every point. He was indefatigable in his endeavours to secure the everlasting and present felicity of his fellow-mortals.  His expressive countenance would be illumied or be clouded, as the tale you told presented to his view a suffering or happy fellow-being; but his feelings did not pass off in the vapour of sensibility; for he was known, when near eighty years of age, to ascend a dark and dangerous staircase, to visit the abode of sickness and want; and there, with the gentle hand of charity, and the warm heart of a Christian, relieve and soften the sorrows inflicted by poverty and sickness.  Such a man is so incalculable a blessing to society, that we are called upon, by ever good principle, to appreciate, respect, and emulate.
   Religion was his guide; he always stood
   Firmly obedient unto what was good.
Mr.Goadby had been a widower forty-two years; and though he had much perplexity and trouble throughout his long life, the domestic comfort he enjoyed for the last twenty years was derived from his marriage fifty-nine years before, by the kind attentions of his daughters-in-law.  His remains were deposited in the same grave with his wife, in Bunhill-fields' burying-ground, June 22, and the funeral oration was delivered at the grave by the rev.Hugh Worthington, with a warmth of expression that evinced how justly he appreciated the excellence of his departed friend.

1807, Oct 9. Died, John Wingrave, many years a bookbinder of eminence, in Red Lion-court, Fleet-street, London, in the eightieth year of his age.  He had the honour of being patronized by the duke of Grafton, major Pearson, Isaac Reed, and several other first-rate collectors of curious books, and also by many of the first booksellers in London.  He was a citizen of London, father of the bookbinding trade, and one of the oldest inhabitants of St.Dunstan's parish, of which he was constable in 1767; and apprehended the notorious Mrs.Brownrigg.  He at that time published a curious Narrative of the many cruelties inflicted upon her apprentice Mary Clifford, for which she received sentence of death, Sept. 12, 1767.

1806, Aug.25.  Died, James Robson, a very eminent bookseller, in Bond-street, London. - He was born in the year 1733, at Sebringham, in Cumberland, where his family had been settled from ancient times in the respectable condition of yeomen.  He was educated at a neighbouring grammar school; and at the age of sixteen went to London, under the protection of his relation Mr.Brindley, then an eminent bookseller in New Bond-street.  Mr.Robson succeeded him in business in 1759, which he carried on for more than forty years, with integrity, fame, and profit.  He entered the career of active life with all the advantages of a solid and pious education, habits of frugality without meanness, a persevering industry, and manners peculiarly liberal and obliging, free alike from the pernicious and offensive vanity of assuming the habits of the higher ranks, or the insolent affectation of contemning them.  Soon after he settled in business he made a considerable addition to his domestic comforts and his property, by marrying the only daughter of Mr.Perrot, and eminent builder, near Grosvenor-square, by whom he had a large family.  About the 1707 [sic- ?1770], the dean and chapter of Westminster appointed Mr.Robson high bailiff of the city and liberty; but he resigned it some time before his death.  He was also in commission of the peace for the county of Middlesex, in which he had considerable property.  In 1788, accompanied by his friend Mr.James Edwards, bookseller, of Pall Mall, Mr.Robson undertook a journey to Venice, on pupose to examine the far-famed Pinelli library.the catalogue of which made six 8vo volumes. This superb collection, by a bold and successful speculation, he secured, by offering a price for it which the executors and trustees of Maffie Pinelli, who died in Feb 1785, found it their interest to accept; and during the severe winter of 1788-9, the books were, not without much hazard from the sea, brought safely to London; and sold by auction, at the great room in Conduit-street, in 1789 and 1790.  A sale catalogue was published in London in 1789, entitled Bibliotheca Pinelliana; a catalogue of the magnificent library of Maffei Pinelli, late of Venice, &c. in one thick volume 8vo.  Mr.Robson's chief amusement, when relaxing from the tumult of the world, was that which delighted Isaac Walton; and the records of Hampton and Sunbury proclaim his skill and patience as an angler; where, with a few select companions, he occasionally whiled away the early dawn and evening shade in harmless sport.  His conversation was mild, cheerful, intelligent, communicative, but never obtrusive; and as he had imbibed in his early education a familiar acquaintance with the Latin poets, was frequently illustrated by apt quotations. - Though very far removed from the character of a bon vivant, he was a member of a literary club of booksellers, held at the Shakspeare tavern; a friendly band, where congenial spirits, warmed, not heated, with the genuine juice of the grape, unreservedly poured out their whole souls in attic wit and repartee.  After an association of about thirty-five years with this literary society, Mr.Robson was enarly the last survivor.

- under William Caslon [LBT/16134]
    Of Mrs.Caslon it would be improper to pass unnoticed.  Her merit and ability in conducting a capital business during the life of her husband, and afterwards till her son was capable of managing it, was deserving of all praise.  In quickness of understanding, and activity of execution, she left few equals among her sex.  On the death of her husband, and their eldest son establishing himself in Moorfields, she conducted the business herself, and continued to do so till disabled by an attack of the palsy, which she survived but a few months, dying Oct.23, 1795, aged about 70 years.

1809, March.  Died, Mrs.Henry Caslon, celebrated in the annals of type founding.  On the decease of Mrs.Caslon [LBT/3999], in 1795, the management of the foundry devolved on the above lady, who, possessing an excellent understanding, and being seconded by servants of zeal and ability, was enabled, though suffering severely under ill health, in a great measure to retrieve its credit.  Finding the renown of William Caslon no longer efficacious in securing the sale of types, she resolved to have new founts cut.  She commenced the work of renovation with a new canon, double pica, and pica, having the good fortune to secure the services of Mr.John Isaac Drury, a very able engraver, since deceased.  The pica, an improvement on the style of Bodoni of Parma, was particularly admired, and had a most extensive sale.  Finding herself, however, from the impaired state of her health, which suffered from pulmonary attacks, unable to sustain the exertions required in conducting so extensive a concern, she resolved, after the purchase of the foundry, to take as an active partner, Nathaniel Catherwood, who by his energy and knowledge of business fully equalled her expectations.  This connection gave a new impetus to the improvements of the foundery, which did not cease during the lives of the partners, and their exertions wer duly appreciated and encouraged by the printers.   In 1808 the character of the foundry may be considered as completely retrieved, but the proprietors did not long live to enjoy their well-merited success.  In the spring of 1808 Mrs.Caslon went to reside at Bristol hotwells, for the benefit of the air, where death put a period to her long and extreme suffering.  She was buried in the cathedral of Bristol ---[ Son Henry see LBT/22181].

1803, Aug.1.  Died, William Woodfall, a printer and celebrated parliamentary reporter, and whose memory deserves to be particularly held in esteem, as one who so long, so zealously, and so largely contributed to the information of the political world, and to literature in general.  He was the younger brother of Henry Samson Woodfall, and was early placed by his father under Mr.Richard Baldwin, of Paternoster-row, to learn the art of bookselling; from whose house he went back to his father's office, and assisted in the printing and editing of the Public Advertiser.  He became so warm an amateur of the drama, that, to gratify his penchant for the stage, he made an excursion into Scotland, and performed several times for his amusement in the company of a Mr.Fisher.  He used to relate many pleasant anecdotes of this jaunt, the most fortunate event of which, however, because it constituted the future happiness of his life, was his marriage with a most amiable woman, and with whom he returned to the metropolis about 1772, and engaged himself as editor of the London Packet.  From this he was called by the proprietors of the Morning Chronicle to the double station of printer and editor, which he filled with much credit to himself until the year 1789, when he commenced the Diary, which is already noticed at page 764, ante.  Mr.Woodfall possessed the virtues of private life that endear a man to society, and was particularly distinguished for his literary talents.  In 1793, he sought to be appointed remembrancer of the city of London, an office for which he was peculiarly qualified; but private friendships and superior interest prevailed.  He was also devoted to the belles lettres; and, as such, was the intimate friend of Garrick, Goldsmith, Savage, (whose tragedy of Sir Thomas Overbury he prepared for exhibition, acted at Covent Garden in 1777,) and all the other members of the old literary school, of which he was one of the very few remaining disciples.  He was so fassionately fond of theatrical representations, as never to have missed the first performance of a new piece for at least forty years; and the public had so good an opinion of his taste, that his criticisms were decisive of the fall or fortune of the piece and the performer. Unfortunately for himself and his family, he placed all his hopes on the most precarious species of property, and became the proprietor of a newspaper, which his talents raised to eminence; but the talents of no individual could secure it a permanent station upon that eminence.  The paper fell, and with it fell his hopes.  Though disappointed, he was not to be diverted from his favourite pursuits.  He was constant in his attendance at the bar of the house of lords, which he visited so lately as July 27, 1803.  Although he was far advanced in life, he was active, animated, and in full possession of his mental faculties, without the appearance of any considerable waste of his physical strength.  To a large family, entirely dependent upon his industry, his death was therfore an unexpected, deplorable, and afflicting event.  He died, after a week's illness, in his fifty-eight year, in Queen-street, Westminster; and his remains were nterred on the 6th , in St.Margaret's church-yard.

   1826, Nov.26,  Died, John Nichols, F.S.A. printer, and editor of the Gentleman's Magazine, who was distinguished alike for superior talents, indefatigable industry, and undeviating integrity, and of whom the profession of the art of typography may feel justly proud, as an example so worthy to be emulated.  John Nichols was born at Islington, February 2, 1744-5, and received his education at an academy kept by Mr.John Shield, a man of considerable learning.  In 1754 he was placed apprentice to Mr.William Bowyer, who appears to have quickly discovered in his pupil that amiable and honourable disposition which distinguished him all his life.  From the moment he became Mr.Bowyer's apprentice, he was intent on the acquisition of solid knowledge.  Mr.Bowyer appears to have been not only the instructive master, but the kind and indulgent friend to his apprentice, and was often anxious to amuse him by encouraging a taste for poety; and from 1761 to 1766 he became a constant votary of the muses, his productions makng no inconsderable figure in the periodical journals.  During his minority he produced some prose essays on the manners of the age, such as they appeared to one who had been no inattentive observer.  These were merely his amusements, and indicative of an ambition which at his early age was surely pardonable.  His more serious hours were devoted to the business of the press.  His leading object was to please his master in the superintendence of the learned works printed by him, and in this he succeeded so well, that the relative situations of master and servant soon merged into a friendship, the compound of affection on one side, and of reverence on the other.  So amply had he fulfilled his master's expectations, as to prudence and judgment, that before his apprenticeship expired, he sent him on a business of very great importance, to the university of Cambridge; and another proof of the value he placed on Mr.Nichols's services, when the period of them had expired, by returning to his father half of his apprentice fee; and considering his assistance was of great importance in his printing establishment, he took him into partnership in the year 1766.  In 1778 Mr.Nichols obtained a share in the Gentleman's Magazine, of which he became the editor, and it had not been long under his care before it obtained a consequence which it had never before reached.  In 1781 he was elected an honorary member of the society of antiquaries at Edinburgh; and, in 1785, of that of Perth.  In 1784 he was elected a member of the common council for the ward of Farrington without, an on the death of Mr.Wilkes he declined the honour of becoming an alderman in his room.  In 1804 Mr.Nichols was chosen master of the stationers' company, a situation which he termed "the summit of his ambition."   On the 8th of January, 1807, by an accidental fall, at his house in Red Lion passage, Mr.Nichols had one of his thighs fractured; and on the 8th February 1808, experienced a far greater calamity, respecting not only himself but the public, in the destruction by fire of his printing office and warehouses, with the whole of their valuable contents.  Under these two remarkable instances, he displayed a temper and courage rarely to be found. In December 1811, he bade a final adieu to civic honours, intending also to withdraw from a business in which he had been for upwards of half a century assiduously engaged; and hoping (Deo volonte) to pass the evening of his life in the calm enjoyment of of domestic tranquillity.
   In 1766, Mr.Nichols married Anne [she died in 1776], daughter of Mr.William Cradock, of Leicester, by whom he had two daughters,  On the death of this lady he married the daughter of Mr.William Green, of Hinckley [she died February 29, 1788], by whom he had one son [Born July 15, 1779; and in addition to the Christian name of his father, bears that of his great predecessor, Bowyer. He had been in partnership with his father, and now conducts the extensive business which devolved upon him], and four daughters.
   In 1771 Mr.Nichols gave to the stationers' company the portrait of Robert Nelson, esq. And of the elder Bowyer, with a bust of the younger Bowyer; to which, in 1798 he added the portraits of archbishop Chicheley, sir Richard Steel, and Matthew Prior.
   The extent of Mr.Nichols'sliterary productions will appear more extraordinary when we add, that during the period he was engaged in some of those duties of public life which necessarily demanded a considerable portion of time and attention.  To enumerate his literary labours would far exceed our limits, for they extend from 1763 to the year of his decease, and it may with truth be said, that if usefulness be a test of merit, no man in our days has conferred more important favours in the republic of letters.  The number of publications of which Mr.Nichols was either the author or the editor amounted ot sixty-seven.  By those of superior rank Mr.Nichols was treated with the respect due to his character of a gentleman and man of letters; while his inferior found him useful, kind, and benevolent, always a friend, and often a patron.
   His remains were interred in Islington church yard, where those of his parents, and all his children who died before him, are deposited.  Mr.Nichols, at the time of his death, was probably the oldest inhabitant of Islington, and his grave is only a few yards from the house in which he was born.  There are several good portraits of Mr.Nichols, and also a bust by Gannelli.  Many poetical tributes appeared to the memory of MR.Nichols, and from amongst them we select the following from the pen of Mr.Taylor ---

Mr.Robert Brown was master of the stationer's company in 1777, and died in the year 1781. Matthew had been a liveryman of the same company more than fifty years; and was much esteemed by those who intimately knew him.  He was modest and unassuming, and occasionally exhibited a vein of pleasantry and wit.  His efforts in business were not successful. Yet his latter days were cheered by the kind regard of some of his oldest friends; and he had the satisfaction having been selected as a proper person to enjoy an annuity of #30 bequeathed by Mr.William Bowyer, jun.

1807, June 4. Died, Edward <sic - Charle> Dilly, one of the most eminent and generous booksellers of his time.  He was born May 22, 1739, at Southill, in Bedfordshire, where his family were of some consequence in the higher ranks of old English yeomen; and for which county his eldest brother, John Dilly, esq.who cultivated the paternal inheritance at Southill, served the office of high sheriff in 1783, and died March 18, 1806, aged seventy-five. Edward Dilly, the next brother, has already been noticed at page 744, ante. - So extensive were the connexions of Edward, as a bookseller, that he was happy to avail himself of the assistance of his brother Charles; who, after making a short tour in America, became a partner in Edward's trade; which, by his regular assiduity, was considerably extended.  With the fortune of Edward, Charles inherited also his good qualities.  Though neither of them had much pretensions to literature, the were zealous in cultivating the friendship of the literrati.  Their purchases of copyright were in such a princely style as had before their time been wholly unknown.  To young and inexperienced authors, Mr.Charles Dilly, in particular, was a kind and faithful adviser; and to those who had occasion for it, his purse was at all times easy of access.  In 1782, on a vacancy of an alderman for the ward of Cheap, Mr.Dilly was invited to accept the scarlet gown; but declined that honourable office in favour of Mr.Boydell.  That of sheriff he escaped on the plea of non-conformity.  The hospitable table, which Edward was famed for spreading, was continued by Charles - not with a prodigal, but with an unsparing hand.  His parties were not large, but they were frequent; and in general, so judiciously grouped, as to create a pleasantry of intercourse not often to be found in mixed companies.   Here Johnson and Wilkes forgot the animosities of Whig and Tory.  Here high-church divines and pillars of the meeting-house relinquished their polemicks, and enjoyed uninterrupted conviviality. Here Cumberland, whilst he contributed his full proportion to the general hilarity of conversation, stored his own mind with some of those valuable observation which have both entertained and instructed and admiring public.  Here Knox planned and matured not a few of his valuable Essays.  Here Isaac Reed (than whom no visitor was more cordially welcomed by Charles Dilly) was sure to delight, whether in the mood to be a patient hearer, with now and then a short oracular respose; or occasionally displaying those rich stores of erudition which he possessed.  Here Crakelt refined on the labours of an Entick. Here many a writer of less eminence, after comforably enjoying a mental and bodily repast, engaged in his task with double pleasure, from the satisfaction he experienced in the liberality of his employer.  If ever the strict rule of decorum was by chance infringed on, it was on those occasional days when, unavoidable business preventing the master of the house from sitting so long with his guests as he could wish, the pleasure of entertaining them was deputed to his kind-hearted and pleasant friend James Boswell, who sometimes, in that capacity, has tried the strength of the oldest binn.  After a life of uninterrupted labour for more than forty years, Mr.Dilly, almost on a sudden, relinquished business; which he disposed of, on terms mutually beneficial, to Mr.Joseph Mawman, at that time high in the same profession in the city of York. But the transition was too abrupt for Mr.Dilly . He found himself a solitary being, without the resource of an affectionate family to cheer his vacant hours; and, in the midst of affluence, he soon began to regret the loss of the counting-house and very pleasant room in the Poultry; and actually acquired such a dejection of spirits as to occasion no small alarm to his friends.  He was luckily, however, persuaded to adopt, in Brunswick-row, Queen-square, the sociability, if not the employment of the Poultry; and by the repeated visits of some inmates whom he highly esteemed, he was in a great measure roused from his melancholy; and continued to enjoy a few years of real comfort; distributing not unfrequently a portion of his large property in acts of the most disinterested benificence.  His bounty to individuals it would be improper to mention. But it must be recorded to his honour, that in his life-time he gave £700 consols to the company of stationers (of which he was master in 1800) for the purpose of securing perpetual annuities, of ten guineas each, to the widows of two liverymen of that company.  A very few weeks also before his death he gave £100 to the sea-bathing infirmary at Margate; to which very excellent insitution he add £200 more by his last will; with the like sum to the society for the relief of persons confined for small debts.  He gave £100 to the society for the relief of the indigent blind; £100 to the society for the relief of the deaf and dumb; and £100 to the dispensary in Red Lion-street.  He remembered also some of his old friends.  To Daniel Braithwaite, esq. John Oswald Trotter, esq. and Miss Cumberland, he gave £1000 each; to Dr.Lettson, Dr.Elliott, the Rev.J.H.Todd, and Mary Fowler, widow, £500 each. Among the other legacies were, to Mrs.Crakelt,wife of Mr.Crakelt, £20 a- year: to her daughter, Mrs.Eylard, £20 a-year: to Mrs.Mary Greaves, the daughter of his half-sister, £52 a-year; to Mrs.Coulson of Bedford £100 a-year; to Miss Coulson, one of his residuary legatees, to the children of her sister, Mrs.Seilman, £100; to the two Miss Davies's (daughters of the rev.Mr.Davies, perpetual curate of St.James;s Clerkenwell) £200 each; to Mrs.Bodman and Mrs.May, all his shares in the Lancaster canal.  And, besides other legacies, gave rings of ten guineas each to Mr.alderman Domville, and to Messrs. Baldwin, J.Nichols, Conant, Hughs, and Davies.  The residue of his property (supposed to be about £60,00-) to Miss Coulson, the two Miss Davies's Mrs.Bodman, and Mrs.May, who were all of them maternally related, his own name having become extinct.  For the last twelve months his health evidently declined. He afterward recovered so far as to undertake a journey to Ramsgate, on a visit to Mr.Cumberland, who happened to be at Tunbridge Wells with sir James Bland Burgess. Mr.Dilly arrived at Ramsgate on Saturday the 2d of May, 1807; and was on Sunday evening attacked by an oppression of breath, which took him off on the following morning.  He was buried on the 12th in the cemetry of St.George the Martyr, Queen-square, in a grave nearly adjoing that in which the famous Robert Nelson was deposited in 1715; the funeral being attended by a considerable number of his oldest friends.

1828,  Oct.28. Died, Luke Hansard, a very eminent printer and excellent man, wose character presents in all its points of public and private life, an example worthy of imitation. Luke Hansard was born in the parish of St.Mary, Norwich, July 5, 1752.  His father, Thomas Hansard, was a respectable manufacturer in that city, but in is latter days became unsuccessful in business.   The early and pious instructions which he received from his mother, appear to have formed the basis of that honourable character which distinguished her son troughout the course of his long life.  He received his education at the gramar-school of Boston, in Lincolnshire, and was afterwards apprenticed to Mr.Stephen White, printer, in Cockey-lane, in the parish of St.Clement, Norwich.  Here soon appeared the vast advantages of early training to habits of industry and moral feeling.  His master was given to convivial indulgence, and was easily and frequently seduced from his business; but having discerned the value of his steady apprentice, had the sense to entrust him with the principal part of the management of his concerns.  Immediately after the close of his apprenticeship, he went  to London, with a solitary guinea in his pocket; and to his honour it ought to be recorded, that the first guinea he earned, beyond his immediate necessities, he transmitted to Norwich, to pay an unsatisfied demand upon his father.  Mr.Hansard first obtained a siuation as a compositor at the printing-office of Mr.Hughes, of Great Turnstile, Lincoln's-Inn-fields,. [When Mr.Hansard went a stranger to London, he had an introduction to Mr.Hughes, and looking about Lincoln's Inn-fields for the printing-office, he accidentally met with Mr.Hughes, and not knowing that gentleman, inquired of him the way to the office.  Mr.Hughes asked him what business he had there, and finding him a stranger, and deesirous of obtaining employment, appointed the followng day for his going to work; this laid the foundation of that prosperity, the almost sure reward of industry.    In a manuscript note which Mr.Hansard had seen and which apparently was intended to form some account of his life, the writer said that he came to London without a patron and without a friend.  Underneath this, Mr.Hansard wrote, "Not so, for God was my friend and my patron"], who was printer to the house of commons, and carried on that branch, when it was of small extent, compared with what it had arrived at in the year 1799, when Mr.Huhes admitted Mr.Hansard into partnership.  The business of Mr.Hughes had been for many years under the management of Mr.William Day, a very worthy man, of exemplary diligence and attention.  The increase of parliamentary printing rendering more assistance necessary, the active attention to business of Mr.Luke Hansard, pointed him out as the most capable of the arduous office of manager of the operative department, Mr.Day attending chiefly to the reading deparment.  After the death of Mr.Day, the whole management devolved upon Mr.Hansard, who, after some years' exertion, as great, perhaps, as ever was witnessed, certainly never exceeded by any one, making the interests of his employer the first and sole object, became, in 1799, a partner in the concern; and by a subsequent arrangement in 1800, he succeeded as the entire proprietor of a business which he rendered the first in the world for that promptitude and despatch so essential to the interest of the legislature and the nation.  As a man of industry few such instances can be mentioned.  He knew little of relaxation or pleasure.  He was throughout, life and early riser, and sketched in his mind the plan and business of the day before others were awake to execute it.  From the beinnng of his offical life, Mr.Hansard established this rule for his conduct, to spare no cost or personal labour in attempting to perform the important duty entrusted to him, better and cheaper, and more expeditiously than any other printing concern in London.  He worked for others, not for himself. There was nothing in his mode of life showy and ostentatious.  A benevolent spirit, however, reigned through the whole.  His contributions to public charities were truly liberal.  Among others, his benefactions to the worshipful company of stationers, as a provision for decayed printers, will make his name remembered with gratitude many a distant year.  In the discharge of his parochial duties, he was not only a judicious guardian of the public purse, but a kind friend to the numerous poor in his extensive neghbourhood.  If it be true, as asserted by more than one eminent writer, that all morals and all itnegrity, to be permanent, and of practical effect, must be bottomed upon religion; this was precisely the case with Mr.Hansard.  He departed this life in the seventy-seventh year of his age, and his remains were interred in the church of St.Giles's in the Field.  Mr.Hansard left a widow, nearly his own age, and three sons and two daughters.  His eldest son, Thomas Curson, died May, 1833, and his other sons, who had long been in partnership with him continued the establishment.
   Luke Hansard was a liberal benefactor to the stationers' company:  Jul 11, 1818, transferred #1,000, four per cent annuities, the interest to be given, in two annuties of #10 a-year each, to such objects above sixty-five years of age, free of the company, and letter-press printers (compositors or pressmen,) as the court shall think proper [Mr.Hansard nominated the two first annuitants.]  The other #20 to be given yearly to four freemen of the company, printers, boosellers, stationers, warehousemen, or bookbinders, above sixty years of age, at #5 a-year each, as the court shall think proper object of this donation.  September 18, 1818, transferred to the company #1,500 three per cent consolidated annuities; in trust to give to every youth bound at their hall, a neatly-bound church of England prayer-book, as printed by his majesty's printer in London, bound up with the new version of psalms.  The number of prayer-books thus to be disposed of, are taken at two hundred, which, at a presumed price of 2s.7d. each, will cost #24 16s.8d.  Then to give yearly to two of his warehousemn (named) #6 6s. each.  Also to such warehouseman, or binder, or stationer, or other person in the class to whom the court has been accustomed to give such annuities, above sixty years of age," #6 6s.  The residue of 5s. 4d. and whatever residue may be left from the two hundred prayer-books not being wanted, or from the cost being less, to be applicable for such purposes as the court shall think proper.

After the death of the elder George, and the failure of the house, he went into partnership with Mr.George Wilkie, with whom he carried on a respectable country trade, and held shares in many established books.  He was a man of considerable ability, a lover of literature for its own sake, and of indefatigable and laborious attention to business.  The family name is sustained in the trade, by the grandsons of the elder Geroge, and it is but justice to state, that literature was scarcely under greater obligation to the name of Tonson, than it has been to the energetic and enterprising spirit of the family of the Robinsons.  He died at Putney, in his sixty-first year, leaving a widow, and two sons, John, and Richard, the former a bookseller in Paternoster row-, who was assisted by his brother.

1824, Sept. 8.  Died, John William Galabin, formerly a respectable printer in Ingram-court, Fenchurch-street, London; at first in partnership with the very learned Mr.William Baker, and after the death of that worthy man, in 1785, on his own account.  He was also for some years an active representative in the common council for the ward of Langtown; but long after he had passed the meridian of life, having given a good education to a numerous family, meeting with some heavy and unforeseen losses, he was greatly reduced in circumstances.  Possessing good health and sound animal spirits, he accepted the office of corrector of the press and superintendent of the printing office of an old and intimate friend, where he continued happy and comfortable till 1796, when he succeeded in obtaining the office of bridgemaster to the city of London. The office of bridgemaster is of considerable importance, and of some emolument.  It is the gift of the livery at large, and has from time immemorial been bestowed on some worthy brother, who having seen better days, has sunk into comparative distress from unavoidable events.  For many years, Mr.Galabin was the regular editor of the Court Calendar, commonly called the Red Book; and also edited several editions of Paterson's Roads.  He had survived his eight sons, who died of consumption; and, melancholy to add, had outlived himself, having for nearly a-year past entirely lost his recollection; insomuch that, on the death of his wife, aged eighty-five, which happened on the 28th of July 1824, he was scarcely conscious of the loss, and was with difficulty convinced that he had ever been married.  He died at his official residence, Bridge-street, Southwark, aged eighty-seven.

Died, John Mapples, printer, who was brought up in the office of Mr.John Nichols, in Red Lion Court, London; but being of a very volatile disposition, and possessing a considerable share of humour, he very early exchanged his situation in life for that of an itinerant player, and for many years made no inconsiderable figure in the Dramatis Personae of various country theatres; particularly in those characters of old men that are marked with drollery.  Ill health compelling him to quite the stage, he resumed his original profession in the house of his former employer; but from the severity of his disorder, he passed half of his time on a sick bed, where, highly to the honour of humanity, his anguish was alleviated by his fellow-workmen, at not less than £100. By the same b enevolent friends he was buried, aged 50.

In the year, 1802, he formed a connexion in business with Mr.Thomas Burton, and afterwards entered into partnership with him, and was his successor.  Having obtained a very moderate competence, he retired wholly from business in 1819; but the death of an affectionate wife, and his own declining health, prevented his looking for enjoyment. For the most scrupulous integrity, amiable singleness of heart, and unremitting industry, Mr.Wright had few equals and he died at Kilburn, aged sixty-eight, regretted by by all his friends.

1779, May 11. Died, Edward Dilly, a bookseller of great eminence in the Poultry, London, particularly in the line of American exportation, and in the writings of the good old school of Presbyterians, Doddridge, Watts, Lardner, &c.  Mr.Edward Dilly was an enthusiastic admirer of the politics (if not of the personal charms) of Catharine Macauley,* whose publications he regularly ushered into the world; and may truly be said to have been a general and generous patron.  He was a man of great pleasantry of manners, and so fond of conversation, that he almost literally talked himself to death. He was buried in the church-yard of Southhill, in Bedfordshire, with the following epitaph inscribed on his grave stone:
    Near this place lies interred / The body of Edward Dilly, / late citizen and bookseller, of London. / He was born in this parish, / July 25, 1732; / and died May 11, 1779.
   The business was carried on by his younger brother Charles Dilly, who had been some time his partner, and thus became the sole proprietor of a very valuable trading concern, which he contined to cultivate with that industry and application, which in the great commercial metropolis of England almost invariably leads to opulence till 1807, under which year see a notice.
   [*Catherine Macauley Graham, an historian of some celebrity, was the daughter of John Sawbridge, esq. Of Otlantigh in Kent, and born in 1730. In 1760 whe married Dr.George Macauley, a physician, who left her a widow.  In 1783, she married Mr.Graham, a clergyman.  In 1785 she went to America for the purpose of visiting General Washington.  She died at Binfield June 23, 1791.]

1831, March 15.  Died, Thomas Payne, of the firm of Payne and Foss, booksellers, in Pall-mall, London.  Mr.Payne was the eldest son of Thomas Payne, who died in 1799; was born in London, Oct.10, 1752, and was educated at M.Metayer's, a classical school of reputation, in Charterhouse-square.  His father was anxious that he should be instructed in every branch of education necessary to an intimate acquaintance with the contents and reputation of books in foreign languages.  This initiation into the history of books, Mr.Payne augmented even to a high degree of critical knowledge, by frequent tours on the continent, and particularly by an amicable intercourse with the eminent scholars and collectors, whose conversation for many years formed the attraction of his well-frequented premises.  Confidence was uniformly placed in his judgment and opinion, by the most eminent and curious bibliographers of the day, that perhaps it would be difficult to mention a gentleman of his profession, whose loss was more deeply regretted  He inherited the character as well as the name of his excellent father; the epithet of honest, it has been ovserved, was so entirely hereditary, as to be allowed, not by common, but by universal consent, to descend, without any bar, from father to son and in addition he had acquired the appellation of the "father of the booksellers."  After carrying on business at the Mewsgate, almost from his infancy, Mr.Payne removed, in 1806, to Pall-mall, where his learned friends had a place of assembling more commodious than any in London.  In 1813, he took into partnership Mr.Henry Foss, who had been his apprentice. Mr.Payne died in London, at the advanced age of seventy-nine years, and his remains were interred in the parish church of St.Martin in the Fields.

1809, Oct. 30.  Died, William Fenner, bookseller, Paternoster-row, London, in the eighty-third year of his age, and father of the stationers' company.  He was the son of William Fenner, printer, of Lombard-street, who was one of the partners with Ged, in his attempt at stereotype printing; after his death, about 1735, his widow was remarried to Mr.James Waugh, an apothecary,but continued to carry on the busines of a printer till her death. The son was for some time her assistant and partner; and afterwards, for a short period, followed the profession of a bookseller in Paternoster-row; but, marrying early, and satisfied with a very moderate competence, he retired from the bustle of trade, in the prime of life; and, for more than forty years, prolonged a life, devoted to acts of kindness and philanthropy.  He was master of the stationers' company in 1786, and to whom, in 1777, he gave a large silver coffee urn, with a set of tea-spoons, &c.; and, by his last will, left a reversionary legacy of £2,500, three per cent. Consols to the company; the interest of which (£75) to be thus applied: £50 in annuities of 50s. To ten poor freemen, and ten widows; £20 for a dinner for the court of assistants, who are to attend divine service, on the 19th of July, at St.Martin's church; 20s. To the clerk of the stationers' company; 30s. To the rector, for a sermon; 2s to the curate for reading prayers; and 5s. each to the clerk, organist, and sexton; and 5s. each to the beadle, porter, and housekeeper of the company.  Possessing a strong mind, improved by habits of early industry, and gifted by nature with a fine manly form, improved by polished manners, the conversation of Mr.Fenner was always pleasing; his freindship was very generally courted; and his advice was frequently requested in cases of difficulty, and always given freely and judiciously.  He had been twice married; and the second wife survived him; but he left no child.

1807, March 17. [Died] John Pridden, who had for nearly half a century carried on the business of a bookseller in Fleet-street, London; was one of the many instances that integrity and perseverance introduce their attendant votaries to ease, affluence, and satisfaction.  To animate others to appreciate the value of unsullied honour, or bear up against the torrent of stern oppression, a few particulars respecting the life of this worthy man cannot be omitted.  He  was born Jul 20, 1728, at Old-Martin-hall, in the parishes of Ellesmere and Whittington, in Shropshire, of rather wealthy parents; but his father dying when he was only twelve years of age, and his mother marrying again, he soon experienced the with-holden protection of his mother, and the most unmerciful and cruel treatment of his step-father.  Indeed, the severity he endured was so great, that be [sic - he] was frequently laid up; and often rescued by his neighbours from the tyrannic grasp of his step-father.  But, alas! nothing could subdue the inexorable temper of this tyrant; and the oppressed youth determined to leave his home, and try his fortune in the metropolis.  This happened soon after the breakng out of the French war in 1744, when, having proceeded on his journey as far as Worcester, and finding there a hot press for soldiers, he did not relish the probability of a military attachment, but adopted what he conceived to be the least of two evils, and returned back again.  For this self-defensive offence he was regularly and systematically thrashed every Tuesday and Saturday, the days of his exit and return, for nearly three years, when, unable any longer to endure his unmerited sufferings, he once more bid an eternal adieu to his unpropitious habitation, and arrived in London, Mar 25, 1748, where he soon found protectors in Mr.John Nourse, in the Strand, and Mr.Richard Manby, Ludgate-hill; the latter of whom he succeeded in business.  The libraries of many eminent characters passed through his hands; and, being content with small profits, he soon found himslef supported by a numerous and respectable set of friends, not one of whom ever quitted him.  To do good, was his delight; to communicate happiness to all he could, was his unceasing aim.   About 1782 he became totally blind; but was relieved from that malady by the judicious hand of baron de Wenzel, and enjoyed his eye-sight to the last.  He was naturally of a weak habit of body; but his extreme temperance and uninterrupted complacency of mind, insured to him an almost constant flow of spirits.  The following instance of his charity will prove the goodness of his heart:  In the year 1800, on the failure of his less fortunate neighbour, he invited him to his house, and relinquished business, to give him the opportunity of keeping on the spot: his kind intentions met with success; and he frequently expressed the pleasure he felt at seeing his friend prosper under his roof. [Footnote - Mr.Jospeh Brasbridge, author of an autobiography entitled the Trials of Experience, was the individual thus favoured by Mr.Pridden, at that time a silversmith.  He died Feb 28, 1832, in his 90th year, at Highgate, where he had retired upon an independency.]  He married, March 27, 1757, Anne daughter of Mr.Humphrey Gregory , of Twemloves, near Whitchurch, Shropshire, by whom he had fourteen children, nine of which died young.  His wife died Apr 1, 1801.  John, the eldest son, was educated at Oxford, and became vicar of Caddington, Bedfordshire; a minor canon of St.Paul's London, and St.Peter's Westminster; and one of the priests of his majesty's chapels-royal.  The other son, Humphrey Gregory, was for a short time a bookseller, but retired from business.  It may truly be said of Mr.John Pridden that he was a most amiable and indulgent parent, a sincere friend, and , in the strictest sense, a truly honest man.

1808, May 19.  Died, Joseph Cooper,many years a printer of eminence, died suddenly, in a fit, whilst walking near Chelsea.  Not a few splendid volumes were produced unostentatiously from his press, before the modern system of fine printing became so very prevalent.  But he was unfortunate in business. Having no children, he acquired a tone of life a little too theatrical, and much too companionable; for he had considerable talents, and abounded in pleasantry and the milk of human kindness.  He provided also, at an inconvenient expense to himself, for some relatives in the East Indies, in hopes of a princely return; which he never received.  He speculated also in an attempt to make a species of printing-ink superior to any before known;  but was not in that instance particularly successful.   The evening of his life, however, was mde comfortable, by the friendship of Messrs.Wedgewood and Bentley, who found in him a valuable assistant in their counting-house, and who proved to him inestimable friends.

Mr.Parker was master of the stationers' company in 1801; where, as in every other department of life, his general knowledge of city business, and the remarkable placidity of his manners, very much endeared him to a circle of sincere friends.  He died at Stoke Newington, in the eighty-fourth year of his age.  His only son, John Henry Parker, was Gresham professor of divinity and curate of Wanstead, in Essex.

He was (except one) the oldest member of the company of stationers,  of which he had been a liveryman fifty-seven years, and was master in 1792.  As a printer, he was of the old school - bred under Mr.Justice Ackers, of Clerkenwell, the original printer of the London Magazine; and he commenced business for himself under the most promising auspices - first in Whitefrars, then in Fleet-street, and finally in Bridge-street, in a house built purposely for him.  Connected with a phalanx of the first-rate wits, Bonnel Thornton, David Garrick, the elder Colman, Stevens, and others, commenced the St.James's Chronicle, on the foundation of a very old newpaper of nearly the same title; and had the satisfaction of conducting it to a height of eminence unknown to any preceding journal.  From early association with men of eminence both in the literary and fashionable world, Mr.Baldwin had acquired elegant habits, and, without any profound stock of literature, he sufficiently cultivated a mind naturally strong, to render his company and his conversationin the highest degree acceptable.  But the firm rectitutde of his mind, the real tenderness of his heart, and the sincerity of his attachments, were best known in his domestic circle, and by his choice friends, who regretted in him the loss of one, who, in a rare and peculiar manner, united the sometimes opposed virtues of justice and generosity.  About 1810 he lost two brothers, one older, the other younger than himself, and an only sister, all of a good old age; but their loss had a very visible effect on his usually cheerful spirits.  Mr.Baldwin left two sons and three daughters, and a widow.

Mr.Whitaker dying a few years afterwards, Mr.Scatcherd entered into partnership with Mr.Letterman, a man of upright conduct and indefatigabe industry, whom also he survived.  A great part of his success in trade may be attributed to his engagement with Mr.John Reeve*, to print his bibles and common prayer books.

1820, Sept.  Died, John Wheble, printer and bookseller, of Warwick-square, London, and for sixteen years a much respected representative of the ward of Farringdon within, in the court of common council of the city of London  He was born in the year 1746, at Gatcombe, in the Isle of Wight.  In the year 1758 [actually 1760] he was apprenticed to his relative, Mr.Wilkie, the well-known bookseller and publisher in St.Paul's church-yard.  Early in life Mr.Wheble commenced business on his own account, but notwithstanding the steady and industrious exertions of ten or twelve years, his first attempt was not successful.  During the term of this business, however, he was the publisher of the Middlesex Journal, a paper at that time in considerable repute, and which brought him into a political connexion with the opposition party of those days, and particularly with Wilkes, Horne, and others.  This connexion with the oppostion brought him into trouble, at the same time imparting to him the honour of having his name handed down to posterity as, so to speak, being accessary, or having a considerable share in conferring a most important and lasting benefit on his country.   About the year 1780, and during the military arrangements in Hyde park, and on Wharley common, Mr.Wheble being out of the bookselling business, held a siuation in the commisariat.  In consequence of the return of peace, he quitted the service, and had once more recourse to his original destination as a publisher.  A few years after he commenced the County Chronicle, which made so many profitable tours one hundred miles round London.  He next in conjunction with Mr.Harris, the worthy bookseller, in St.Paul's church-yard, and one or two other individuals, projected the Sporting Magazine, which after a while met with very considerable success.  A distinguishing feature of this very amusing work, and that which contributed in an essential degree to its success, was a steady adherence to a generous and just system of sporting ethics, marking the due discrimination between sport and cruelty; and advocating on all occasions the humane duty of justice and mercy to brute beasts.  These, Mr.Wheble's last efforts, were deservedly crowned with success, and placed him towards the decline of his days in a state of respectable independence.  John Wheble might be pronounced to be a man thoroughly inclined to do his duty in that state of life in which it had pleased God to call him. One trait in his character deserves to be particularly noticed.  He was always the encourager of meritorious youthful exertions, and to him several respectable individuals owe their first introduction to the road to prosperity.  He was fond of society, and a frank open-heartedness for which he was distinguished, always rendered him a pleasing companion.  His disposition was humane and charitable.  He died at Bromley, in Kent, in his seventy-fifth, leaving a widow and a long list of friends to lament his loss.

1808, May 8. Died, Sir Charles Corbett, bart. One of the oldest liverymen of the company of stationers, aged about 76.  He was, in the outset of life, well known as a bookseller, opposite St.Dunstan's church; where he afterwards kept a lottery-office; had dame Fortune at his command; and used to astonish the gaping crowd with the brilliancy of his nocturnal illuminations. But it is not in the power of the keeper of a lottery-officie to command success.  A very unfortunate mistake in the sale of a chance of a ticket, which came up a prize of £20,000, proved fatal to Mr.Corbett, and was with difficulty compromised, the chance having fallen into the hand of Edward Roe Yeo, esq. at that time M.P. for Coventry. Some years after, the empty title of baronet (a title, in his case, not strictly recognised in the college of arms) descended to Mr.Corbett, which he assumed, though he might have received a handsome douceur from someother branch of the family, if he would relinquish it.  - Melancholy to relate! The latter days of this inoffensive character were clouded by absoute penury.  Except a very trifling pension from the company of stationers, he had no means of subsistence but the precarious one of being employed, when his infirmities and bad state of health would permit him, in a very subordinate portion of the labours of a journeyman bookbinder.

1831, Dec 28.  Died, Thomas Davison, the well known printer of White Friars, London, aged sixty-five years.  He was born in the city of Durham, of humble parents, and apprenticed early to the profession, in which he was afterwards so successful and eminent.  Shortly after he was out of his time he went to London, where he worked as a journeyman, and about 1790 commenced business with indefatigable perseverance; and the singular beauty and correctness of his works, soon brought around him a connexion of the most respectable publishers of the day.  By improvements which he made in printing ink, (a secret which he had for a long time the exclusive possession) and other merits, he acquired great celebrity; and few indeed of his competitors, could approach the characters of what issued from his press.  Among the evidences of this, we may notice Whitaker's History of Richmondshire, the new edition of Dugdale's Monasticon, the various editions of Byron's works, Rogers's Italy, and several of the Annuals.  To the enjoyments of private life, Mr.Davison was powerfully recommended by his social qualities.  To his fellows he was kind and generous; no man in his station ever performed more liberal actions; and not only brother printers, but many booksellers and authors were indebted to his prompt liberality for effectual assistance, at times when a friend was most needed.  In company, the musical sweetness of a voice rarely equalled for compass and expression, imparted a charm to his companionship, and made him everywhere welcome.  He left a widow and family of five sons and three daughters; and if he did not enrich them by the accumulation of very great wealth, he no doubt, from his large concerns, realized a comfortable independency, and for the rest, bequeathed them a good name, and the respect of all.

1825. Sept.19. Died, James Eaton, a compositor in the printing-office of Messrs. Nichols and son, to whom he had served a faithful and dutiful apprenticeship, and so ingratiated himself into their good opinion, as to be looked upon more in the light of a son than a dependent.  He was early left an orphan, but, by the kindness of an uncle, was placed in Christ's hospital, where he imbibed those precepts which had an evident good effect on his life and conduct; and from the Christian patience and resignation evinced by him in a long illness, we may humbly hope, that though he died young, he had lived long enough to secure his eternal happiness. He died at Islip, Northamptonshire, aged twenty-five years, sincerely lamented by his friends.

1830, Sept. 9.  Died, William Bulmer, printer, whose name is associated with all that is correct and beautiful in typography. By him the art was matured, and brought to its present high state of perfection.  This celebrated typographer was a native of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, where he was apprenticed to Mr.Thompson, the Burnt House-entry, St.Nicholas's Churchyard, from whom he received the first rudiments of his art.  During his apprenticeship he formed a friendship with Thomas Bewick, the celebrated engraver on wood, which lasted with great cordiality throughout life.  It was their practice, whilst youths, to visit together every morning, a farm-house at Elswick, a small village about two miles from Newcastle, and indulge in Goody Coxen's hot rye-cake and buttermilk, who used to prepare these dainties for such of the Newcastle youths who were inclined to enjoy an early morning walk before the business of the day commenced.  During the period of the joint apprenticeships of these young aspirants for fame, Bulmer invariably took off the first impressions of Bewick's blocks, at his master's printing-office, at Newcastle, where Bulmer printed the engraving of the Huntsman and Old Hound, which obtained for Bewick the premium from the society of arts, in London.  Mr.Bulmer afterwards suggested to his friend Bewick an improvement, of which he availed himself, of lowering the surfaces of the blocks where the distance or lighter parts of the engraving were to be shown to perfection.  When Mr.Bulmer first went to London, his services were engaged by Mr.John Bell, who was then publishing his beautiful miniature editions of the poets, Shakespeare, &c.  About 1787, an accidental circumstance introduced Mr.Bulmer to the late George Nicol, esq. Bookseller to king George III. Who was then considering the best method of carrying into effect the projected magnificent national edition of Shakespeare, which he had suggested to Messrs.Boydell, ornamented with designs by the first artists of this country.  Mr.Nicol had previously engaged the skilful talents of Mr.William Martin, of Birmingham, in cutting sets of types, after approved models, in imitation of the sharp and fine letter used by the French and Italian printers; which Mr.Nicol for a length of time caused to be carried on in his own house.  Premises were then engaged in Cleveland-row, St.James's, and the "Shakespeare press" was established under the firm of "W.Bulmer and Co."  This establishment soon evinced how judicious a choice Mr.Nicol had made in Mr.Bulmer to raise the reputation of his favourite project. "This magnificent edition (says Dr.Dibdin) which is worthy of the unrivalled compositions of our great dramatic bard, will remain as long as those compositions shall be admired, an honourable testimony of the taste and skill of the individuals who planned and conducted it to its completion.  The text was revised by G.Steevens and Isaac Reed.  Mr.Bulmer possessed the proof sheets of the whole work, on which are many curious remarks by Steevens, not always of the most courteous description; also some original sonnets, a scene for a burlesque  tragedy, some graphic sketches, &c."  "The establishment of the Shakspeare press (continues Dr.Dibdin,) was unquestionably an honour both to the founders in particular, and to the public at large.  Our greatest poet, our greatest painter, and two of most respectable publishers and printers, were all embarked in one common white-hot crucible; from which issued so pure and brilliant a flame or fusion that it gladdened all eyes and hearts, and threw a new and revivifying lustre on the three-fold arts of painting, engraving, and printing.  The nation appeared to be not less struck than astonished; and our venerable monarch George III. felt anxious not only to give such a magnificent establishment every degree of royal support, but, infected with the matrix and pucheon mania, he had even contemplated the creation of a royal printing-office within the walls of his own palace!"  One of his majesty's principal hopes and wishes was, for his own country to rival the celbrity of Parma in the productions of Bodoni; and Dr.Dibdin pleasantly alludes to what he calls the Bodoni Hum, - of "his majesty being completely and joyfully taken in, by bestowing upon the efforts of Mr.Bulmer's press, that eulogy which he had supposed was due exclusively to Bodoni's"  The first nmber of the Shakespeare appeared in January, 1794; and at once established Mr.Bulmer's fame as the first practical printer of the day.  Dr.Dibdin has given (Bibliographical Decameron, ii, 384-395) a curious and copious list of the "books printed at the Shakspeare press", with judicious remarks, to which we must refer our readers, noticing only such as are the most eminent in execution.  Next to the Shakspeare, perhaps the edition of the Poetical Works of John Milton, in 3 vols folio, 1793-1797, is the finest production of Mr.Bulmer's press.  Dr.Dibdin seems to prefer this work even to the Shakspeare itself.  In 1795, Mr.Bulmer printed a beautiful edition in 4to. of the Poems of Goldsmith and Parnell, one copy on white satin, three on vellum.  The volume is dedicated to the founders of the Shakspeare printing-office,  Messrs.Boydells and Nicol.  "The present volume," says Mr.Bulmer, in his advertisement "in addition to the Shakspeare, the Milton, and many other valuable works of elegance, which have already been given to the world through the medium of the Shakspeare press, are [is] particularly meant to combine the various beauties of printing, type-founding, engraving, and paper making; as well with a view to ascertain the near approach to perfection which those art have attained to this country, as to invite a fair competition with the best typographical productions of other nations.  How far the different artists who have contributed their exertions to this great object, have succeeded in the attempt, the public will now be fully able to judge.  Much pains have been bestowed on the present publication to render it a complete specimen of the arts of type and block-printing.  The ornaments are all engraved on blocks of wood, by my earliest acquaintances, Messrs.Bewicks, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and London, after designs from the most interesting passages of the poems they embellish.  They have been executed with great care, and I may venture to say, without being supposed to be influenced by ancient friendship, that they form the most extraordinary effort of the art of engraving upon wood, that ever was produced in any age, or any country.  Indeed, it seems almost impossible that such delicate effects cold be obtained from blocks of wood.   Of the paper it is only necessary to say, that it comes from the manufactory of Mr.Whatman."  Besides the wood-cuts, the work was embellished with eight very superior bignettes.  - The biographical sketches of Goldsmith and Parnell, prefixed to the work, were by Isaac Reed. - This volume was highly appreciated by the public; two editions of it, in 4to.were sold, and they produced a profit to the ingenious printer, after payment of all expenses, of #1,500. Stimulated by the great success of the work, Mr.Bulmer, 1796, was induced to prepare an embellished quarto edition of Somerville's Chase.  Three copies were printed on vellum.  It was thus dedicated, "To the Patrons of fine Printing:"  "When the exertions of an individual to improve his profession are crowned with success, it is certainly the highest gratification his feelings can experience.  The very distinguished approbation that attended the publication of Goldsmith's Traveller, Deserted Village, and Parnell's Hermit, which was last year offered to the public, as a specimen of the improved state of typography in this country, demands my warmest acknowledgments; and is no less satisfactory to the different artists who contributed their efforts towards the completion of the work.  The Chase, by Somerville, is now given as a companion to Goldsmith; and it is almost superfluous to observe, that the subjects which ornament the present volume, being entirely composed of landscape scenery, and animals, are adapted, above all other, to display the beauties of wood-engraving."  In 1804, the above two works were reprinted in one octavo volume, by Mr.Bulmer, with the same embellishments, for Messrs.Cadell and Davies, who had purchased the blocks.  Museum Worsleyanum, 1798 - 1803, 2 vols. Folio, English and Italian.  Sir Richard Worsley expended #27,000 on this work which was never published. Portraits of the Sovereigns of the Turkish Empire, with biographical sketches in French and English; large folio. By John Young, esq.  This work was printed at the expense of the sultan Selim, and the whole impression was sent to the Ottoman court.  The Antiquities of the Arabs in Spain, by Cavannah Murphy, 1816, large folio. This herculean folio rivals Denon's Egypt, in nobleness of design , splendour of execution, and richness of material.  The History of the Arabs in Spain, &c. 4to. 1816. This volume is a companion to the above.  The Typographical Antiquites of Great Britain, by T.F.Dibdin. Vols.ii ii. And iv.  The union of the red and black inks, the propotioned spaces, render these books very beautiful of their kind.  Bibliotheca Spenceriana, 4 vols.  This work, considering the bulk of the volumes, and the quantity of matter introduced, is perhaps the most brilliant bibliographical production in existence, on the score of mere typographical excellence.  Only fifty-five copies were struck off upon large paper, in royal 4to., eight of which were reserved by earl Spencer for presents.  Upon the completion of this work, carried on with intermission for nearly four years, the printer presented Dr.Dibdin with a richly-wrought silver cup, of an antique form.  Of all the works executed at the Shakspeare press, the Bibliographical Decameron, three vols. 8vo. By T.F.Dibdin, is acknowledged to be the most eminently succesful in the development of the skill and beauty attached to the art of printing.  Never was such a variety of ornament - in the way of wood-cuts and red and black ink - exhibited.  The quantity of matter, by way of note, is perhaps no where exceeded, in a performance which unites splendour of execution with curiousity of detail.  The paper is also of the finest quality.  We have not space to enumerate the private reprints of Mr.Bulmer for the Roxbburghe club, the history of which will be found in Dibdin's Bibliographical Decameron, vol.iii, pp.69-74.  One of the chief difficulties Mr.Bulmer had to contend with, was the providing of good black printing ink.  That formerly used by printers was execrable  Baskerville had made his own ink, as well as type, about 1760, which enabled him to produce such fine work;  and Mr.Robert Martin, his apprentice, was still living when Mr.Bulmer began busines.  He first suppled Mr.Bulmer with fine lamp-black, for his experiments in fine printing; but the difficulty of obtaining an adequate supply, induced Mr.Bulmer to erect an apparatus for the purpose of makng his own ink, and he succeeded to the extent of his wishes in producing a very superior black.  In the Shakspeare, which was nine years in hand, the same harmony of tint and richness of colour prevail, as if the ink had been all made at one time, and the last sheet inked by the same hand in the same hour as the first:  this single work probably contains more pages than Bodoni every printed.  Much must have been owing to the aid of good and congenial quality in the paper, and insured in effect by the experience and skill which Mr.Bulmer was so competent to impart to his workmen; and that a great deal must have depended on, and been effected by, the two last named requisites, is very apparent, from his being able to produce the same effect in ink of another colour, namely red.  After continuing in business with the highest credit for about thirty years, Mr.Bulmer retired in 1819, with a well-earned fortune, to a genteel residence at Clapham Rise, and was succeeded at the Shakspeare press by his partner, Mr.William Nicol, the only son of his friend.  Mr.Nicol, in his Octoglot folio edition of Virgil, edited by W.Sotheby, esq. Has proved himself a most diligent and able successor.  But whilst we have justly placed Mr.Bulmer in the first rank of his profession let us not foget that he had equal claims to distinction among those whose memory is revered for their many private and domestic virtues.  We may then truly say, that his art was deprived of its brightest ornament, and his friends had to lament the loss of one not easily surpassed in every moral excellence.
  Mr.Bulmer was one of the oldest members of the honourable band of gentlemen pensioners, and of which William Gifford was paymaster.  It was the practice of Mr.Gifford, whenever an exchequer warrant was issued for the payment of the quarterly salaries of the gentlemen of the band, to inform its members, by a circular letter, that their salaries were in a course of payment; but on many of these occasions he was wont to depart from his usual routine, and indulge himself in a poetical note to Mr.Bulmer.  From a variety of these momentary effusion fo the satirist we select the following ---  
  Mr.Bulmer died at Clapham Rise, on the 9th of September, in his 74th year, and his remains were interred on the 16th, at St.Clement Danes, Strand, (in which parish his brother had long resided,) attended to the grave by a numerous and respectable company of mourning friends.  He left a widow; but had no children.  The portrait which we present of Bulmer, is from one faithfully executed in lithograph, in 1827, painted and drawn on stone by James Ramsay.

1799, Feb 2.  Died, Thomas Payne, senior, in the eighty-second year of his age, after having been for more that <sic> forty years a bookseller of the highest reputation at the Mews-gate, London.  He was a native of Brackley, in Northamptonshire; and began his career n Round-court, in the Strand, opposite York buildings; where, after being some years an assistant to his elder brother Olive Payne* [*A copy of the work, which was written by king Henry VIII and which gained him from the pope the title of "Defender of the Faith," was stolen from the Vatican, and sold to the brother of Payne, the bookseller, of Mews-gate. The bookseller received for it, from the marquis of Douglas, an annuity for life.] (with whom the idea and practice of printing catalogues is said to have originated) he commenced bookseller on his own account, and issued a Catalogue of curious Books, in Divinity, History, Classics, Medicine, Voyages, Natural History, &c. Greek, Latin, French, Italian, and Spanish, in excellent condition a, and mostly gilt and lettered, dated Feb 29, 1740, being almost the first of the catalogists, except Daniel Browne, * [ ---] at the Black Swan without Temple  Bar, and the short-lived Meers and Noorthouck.  From this situation he removed to the Mews-gate, in 1750, when he married Elizabeth Taylor, and succeeded her brother in the shop and house, which he built, whence he issued an almost annual succession of catologues, beginning 1755.  In 1790 he resigned his business to his eldest son, who had for more than twenty years been his partner, and who opened a new literary channel, by a correspondence with Paris, whence he brought, in 1793, the library of the celebrated chancellor, Lamoignon.  This little shop, in the shape of an L, was the first that obtained the name of a literary coffee house in London, from the knot of literati that resorted to it; and since the display of new books on the counter has been adopted from the Oxford and Cambridge booksellers, other London shops have their followers.  If a resonable price, and a reasonable credit for his goods, be the criterion of integrity, Mr.Payne supported the character of an honest man to the last; and, without the modern flash of wealth, which, ostentatiously exposed in a fine shop, has involved so many traders of all descriptions in difficulties and ruin, he acquired that fortune which enabled him to bring up two sons and two daughters with credit, and to assist some relations who wanted his aid.   Warm in his friendships as in his politics, a convivial, cheerful companion, and unalterable in the cut and colour of his coat, he uniformly pursued one great object, fair dealing, and will survive in the list of booksellers the most eminent, for being adventurous and scientific, by the name of honest Tom Payne.  The author of the Pursuits of Literature, who is an excellent appreciator of character, calls hi "that Tripho emeritus, Mr.Thomas Payne, one of the honestest men living, to whom as a bookseller, learning is under considerable obligations."  Thomas Payne, of Pall Mall, was the eldest son, and inherited every good quality of his father.  The following epitaph was written by William Hayey, esq.
     Around this tomb, ye friends of learning, bend!
     It holds your faithful, though your humble friend:
     Here lies the literary merchant, Payne,
     The countless volumes that he sold contain
     No name by liberal commerce more carest
     For virtues that become her votary's breast;
     Of cheerful probity, and kindly plain,
     He felt no wish for disingenuous gain;
     In manners frank, in manly spirit high,
     Alert good-nature sparkled in his eye;
     Not learn'd, he yet had learning's power to please,
     Her social sweetness, her domestic ease:
     A son, whom his example guides and cheers,
     Thus guards the hallow'd dust his heart reveres;
     Love bade him thus a due memorial raise,
     And friendly justice penn'd this genuine praise.

1815 [But see O.D.N.B. = 1820 - Timperley on Trusler -  is not very reliable]  Died, John Tusler, LL.D. who may be considered the very cameleon of literature, and whose long and versatile life would furnish much amusement.  He was born in London in 1735, and was bred to physic in a very humble line, though he afterwards contrived, without any academical education, to obtain orders, and for some time officiated as curate in and about London.  In the year 1771, he started a project peculiar to himself, that of abridging the sermons of eminent divines, and printing them in the form of manuscripts, so as not only to save clergymen the trouble of composing their discourses, but even of transcribing them.  The scheme succeeded, and to the disgrace of the age there were not wanting many dignitaries of the church who gave their encouragement to this scandalous species of quackery.  Dr. Trusler next established a printing and bookselling business upon an extensive and very lucrative scale.  He resided several years at Bath on the profits of his trade, and latterly on his estate on Englefield green, in Middlesex.  This wholesale dealer in compilations manufactured a great number of works, several of which, however, it must be acknowledged, have the merit of utility. In 1798 he published An Essay on Literary Property, 8vo.

1789, Dec.9.  John Stockdale, bookseller, in Piccadilly, London, was tried before lord Kenyon, and a special jury for a libel upon the house of commons, reflecting upon their conduct in the impeachment of Warren Hastings.  Mr.Thomas Erskine was counsel for the defendant; and is certainly not the last in importance of that distinguished pleader's speeches.  This trial may be termed the case of libels, and the doctrine maintained and expounded by Mr.Erskine is the  foundation of that liberty which the press enjoys in this country.  When the house of commons ordered the impeachment of Warren Hastings, the articles were drawn up by Mr.Burke, who infused into them all that fervour of thought and expression whch ever characterized his compositions.  The articles, so prepared, instead of being confined to the records of the house until they were carried up to the lords for trial, were printed and allowed to be sold in every bookseller's shop in the kingdom, before the accused was placed upon his trial; and undoubtedly, from the style and manner of their composition, made a deep and general impression upon the public mind against Mr.Hastings.  To repel or neutralize the effect of the publication of the charges, Mr.Logan, one of the ministers of Leith, wrote a pamphlet, which Stockdale published, containiing several severe and unguarded reflections upon the conduct of the managers of the impeachments, which the house of commons deemed highly contemptuous and libellous.  The publisher was accordingly tried, on an information filed by the attorney-general, and the jury after two hours' deliberation, found Mr.Stockdale NOT GUILTY.  In the speech delivered by Mr.Erskine upon this occasion, he has recorded his name as the most consummate advocate of the age.  It was "amidst the blaze of passion and prejudice" that he extorted that verdict, which rescued his client from the punishment which a whole people seemed interested in awarding against the reviler of its collective majesty.

Dibdin Director, vol.2, p.36
   In the present Caxton-loving age, with what avidity would such a number of this printer's books be sought after.  They will rarely ever again appear in one collection so numerous or so perfect.  I am well acquainted with the skill and liberality of Messrs. Payne, White, Egerton, and Evans - that these know and love Caxton as well as Aldus, Froben, and the Stephenses; but I question if, in the ocean of English black-letter, they have taken quite so deep a plunge as Mr.Manson, of Gerard-street, Soho.  It is due to the spirit and perseverance of this latter bookseller, to notice his love of the imprints, colophons, and devices of our venerable English typographers.  Professor Heyne could not have exhibited greater signs of joy at the sight of the Townley manuscript of Homer, than did Mr.Manson on the discovery of Rastil's Pastyme of the People among the books of Mr.Brand.  If I wished for a collection of Rembrandt's or Nanteil's prints, or of old portraits and black-lettered books, catalogued, I would, with the utmost confidence, resign the whole to the integrity and discrimination of Mr.Manson.

1801, Aug. 12. Died, Thomas Hastings, long known as an itinerant bookseller and pamphleteer.  He was a native of the bishoprick of Durham, and served his apprenticeship to his uncle, as a joiner and builder.  After visiting most parts of the kingdom, he went to London, and worked as a carpenter.  The memorable election of Charles James Fox for Westminster, (1780) gave Mr.Hastings an opportunity to exert himself in the popular cause, and he produced a quarto pamphlet, intituled, the 'Wars of Westminster'.  This was soon followed by others in the style of oriental apologues, and he got considerable sums by hawking them about the town.  From this period, it is believed, he wrought no more at his trade.  For many years he had been in the habit of publishing, in different newspapers, on the 12th of August, a voluntary ode on the prince of Wales's birth-day, for which he annually received some small emolument at Carlton-house; but this he had discontinued some time by order.  His last publications were the 'Devil in London', 12mo. And the 'Regal Rambler; or, Lucifer's Travels', 8vo.  Mr.Hastings was a constant attendant on the popular Sunday orators; and in his habit very much adumbrated a clerical appearance.  His travelling name was Dr.Green. He was found dead in his bed, at his lodgings, in New-court, Moor-lane, Cripplegate, London.  He was near sixty years of age.

1802, Jan 9.  Charles Hayes, who kept a book-stall in Piccadilly, London, was prosecuted in the court of king's bench, by the society for promoting christian knowledge, for having on his stall a pamphlet called the 'Man of Fashion'.  Mr. Alley contended that the witness's merely taking up a book was no proof of a publication by the defendant.  Mr.Bosanquet insisted, that , as the book lay exposed to public view, it was a publication.  The court, however, ruled in favour of Mr.Bosanquet, but the jury returned a verdict of not guilty.

1802. May 3.  Died, Peter Elmsly, some time partner with, and many years successor to Paul Vaillant, in the Strand, in that department principally of an importer of foreign books.  He was a native of Aberdeenshire, and to the tolerable education which it is in the power of almost every Scotchman without much difficulty to attain, Mr.Elmsly had graduallly superadded, as he advanced in life and prosperity, such a fund of general knowledge, and so uncommonly accurate a discrimination of language, that, had he chosen to have stood forward as a writer, he would have secured a permanent niche in the temple of fame.  Nor was he less critically nice in the French language than his own.  For a short time before his death he had wholly quitted business with a competent fortune, most handsomely acquired by consummate ability, the strictest integrity, and respected by every human being who knew him.  He died at Brighton, in the sixty-seventh year of his age.  His remains were connveyed to Sloane-street, London, and deposited in the family vault at Marybone, attended by a large party of friends, sincere mourners on the melancholy occasion; as for strength of mind, soundness of judgment, and unaffected friendship, he left not many equals.  He left a widow to whom he had long been an affectionate husband.  Mr.Elmsly resigned his business to his shopman, Mr.David Bremner; whose anxiety for acquiring wealth rendered him wholly careless of indulging himself in the ordinary comforts of life, and hurried him prematurely to the grave.  He was succeeded by Messrs. James Payne and J.Mackinlay; the former of whom was the youngest son of Thomas Payne, of the Mews-gate, noted at page 799, ante; the latter shopman to Mr.Elmsly.

1802, Nov.29. Died, Samuel Paterson, the well known and justly celebrated bookseller and auctioneer, of King-street, Covent-garden, London.  He was the son of a respectable woollen draper in the parish of St.Paul, Covent garden, and born 17th March, 1728.  He lost his father when about the age of twelve years; and his guardian not only neglected him, but involved his property in his own bankruptcy, and sent him to France.  Having there acquired a knowledge of foreign literature and publications beyond many persons of his age, he resolved to engage in the importation of foreign books; and when little more than twenty years old, opened a shop in the Strand: the only person who then carried on such a trade being Paul Vaillant.  Though, by the misconduct of some who were charged with his commissions in several parts of the continent, it proved unsuccessful to the new adventurer, he continued in business till 1753.  At the same early period in which he engaged in business he had married Miss Hamilton, a lady of the most respectable connexions in Scotland, still younger than himself; both their ages not making thirty-eight.  He next commenced auctioneer in Essex house.  This period of his life tended to develop coompletely those extraordinary talents in bibliography, (a science till then little attended to) which soon brought him into the notice of the literary world.  His talent at cataloguizing was unrivalled.  Mr.Paterson was the author of the Coryat Junion, three vols. 12mo. 1767; Joineriana; or the Book of Scraps, two vols. 12mo,; Templar, a weekly paper, published by Brown, which was soon dropped; and Speculations on Law and Lawyers, applicable to the manifest hardships, uncertainties, and abusive practice of the common law, 1788, 8vo. Occasioned by his own distresses, the consequence of imprudent speculations and a numerous family; after struggling with which he was appointed librarian to the first marquis of Lansdown.  After a union of nearly forty-five years, he lost his wife on November 25, 1790. Few men of this country had so much bibliographic knowledge as Mr.Paterson; and perhaps we never had a bookseller who knew so much of the contents of books generally; and he was particularly well acquainted with our English poets.  If in his employment of taking catalogues, he met with a book he had not seen before, which excited his curiosity, or interested his feelings, they must be gratified, and his attendant might amuse himself as he chose.  The consequence was that on many occasions catalogues could be procured ony a few hours before the sale commenced.  His eldest son, Charles, lieutenant of marines, and student of the academy of painting, died at Chatham, in his twentieth year, December 14, 1779.  Two other sons, John and Samuel, obtained appointments as clerks in the Sun Fire Office; and on of the daughters married Mr.Pearson the celebrated glass stainer.

1803, Sep.28.  Died Ralph Griffiths, LL.D. the original institutor of the Monthly Review, and which, with unremitting perseverance, he conducted fifty-four years, assisted only by his son in the latter period of his life. He was originally a watch-make at Stone, Staffordshire, and a steady attendant at the Presbyterian meeting at that place.  Abandoning his trade he went to London, and turned bookseller, first on Ludgate-hill, afterwards in Paternoster-row, and finally in the Strand, where he had the misfortune to fail; and his Review being sold for the benefit of his creditors, was purchased by Mr.Collins, then an enterprising bookseller at Salisbury.  Under Collins the work improved in variety and reputation, if not in sale; - and Griffiths, who had retained the management, regained the whole of the property itself about the year 1780.  He now began a new series, and the profits of the work were so much increased, that he commenced a handsome establishment at Turnham Green; kept two carriages, and lived in style.  He obtained, unsolicited, the degree of doctor of laws from an American college.  Of either the literary life or domestic habits of Dr.Griffiths, little is known;  in his character, industry and ingenuity were in an eminent degree combined; he was a steady advocate of literature; a firm friend, a cordial lover of the enjoyments of domestic happiness, and a zealous and successful promoter of the charms of social intercourse.  There is a portrait of him in the European Magazine for January, 1804. The Monthly Review has in its progress been materially instrumental in promoting the interest of science, and diffusing a taste for critical literature in this country; and at the time of the death of its venerable conductor, in the eighty-third year of his age, it had attained the zenith of its glory.  But the work having lost the mind which planned and reared it, maintains but a secondary rank among our literary journals.

1809, Dec. 20.  Died, Joseph Johnson, an eminent booseller in St.Paul's church-yard, London. He was the younger of two sons of a farmer at Everton, near Liverpool, where he was born, Nov.15, 1738, and had therefore just completed the seventy-first year of his age.  His family were dissenters of the baptist persuasion; and he was apprenticed, at a suitable age, to Mr.George Keith, a bookseller, in Gracechurch-street, who had married the daughter of the celebrated Dr.Gill.  It was about the year 1760, that Mr.Johnsn first entered into business for himself, in partnership with a Mr.Davenport; and nearly at the same period, he contracted an acquaintance with Mr.Fuseli, the celebrated painter.  The partnership with Mr.Davenport being dissolved, Mr.Johnson formed a similar connexion with Mr.John Payne; and their business was carried on in Paternoster-row, till nearly the whole of thir property was consumed by fire in 1770, no part of it being insured.  By this time Mr.Johnson had acquired the highest character with those who knew him best, for integrity and a virtuous disposition; and now that he was on the ground, "his friends," as he expressed it to a particular acquaintance, "came about him, and set him up again."  On this occasion, he removed to the shop in St.Paul's church-yard, where he dwelt for the remainder of his life. A short time after this epoch in his affairs, he became closely connected with the most liberal and learned branch of the Protestant dissenters in England.  He published, in 1772, the poems of Ann Letitia Aikin, afterwards Mrs.Barbauld; and nearly at the same time was placed in the same relation of publisher to Dr.Priestley, whose numerous writings were brought up by Mr.Johnson from that time forward.  In 1774, when Theophilus Lindsey came to London, having given up a living of #400 per annum and rich expectancies, because he could not reconcile his conscience to the articles of the church of England, he immediately formed a strict initmacy with Mr.Johnson.  Mr.Lindsey's circumstances became greatly straitened by the sacrifice he had made; and Mr.Johnson procured, and caused to be fitted up for him, as a chapel, the great room in the house of Mr.Paterson, in Essex-street, in the Strand, and was extremely active in procuring subscriptions, and forming a regular religious estabishment in that place, which he constantly attended, as long as Mr.Lindsey continued to officiate there.  Mr.Johnson was so fortunate, (and this is one of the greatest honours that can fall to a bookseller) as to have been publisher to many of the most eminent authors of his time; among whom we may name William Cowper* [there is a lengthy footnote regard his publishing Cowper's verse], John Horne Tooke, Dr.Darwin, Dr.Priestley, Dr.Aikin, Dr.Enfield, Mr.Fuseli, Mr.Bonneycastle, Mr.Nicholson, Mr.Howard, Mrs.Barbauld, Mary Wolstonecraft, and Miss Edgeworth.  In May, 1788, he began a periodical publication, called the Analytical Review.  Mr.Johnson was a man remarkably superior to mercenary views.  He often proposed and entered into the reprint of books, which he considered as conducive to the best interest of his species, without the possibiity of being reimbursed but in a very long time, and probably not at all.  He often purchased the manuscripts of worthy persons in distress, when he had no intention ever to send them to the press.  His benevolent actions are much too numerous to be related in such a work as this.  His mind was of so admirable a temper, as almost never to be worn out with importunity; and he was not to be turned aside by the ingratitude of those he benefitted from doing that which he judged to be right.  In his latter years, Mr.Johnson was uncommonly reduced by a series of infirmities; he walked with difficulty; his frame was worn to a shadow; and, having mentioned on some occasion, that it was his desire to be borne to his grave by four poor men; he added, that in reality two would do, for, "they would have nothing to carry."  Yet his faculties, and his power of conversation remained; and he scarcely remitted his attention to business, and not at all his disposition to be serviceable to others.  He was always found an advocate on the side of human nature and human virtue; recommending that line of conduct which springs from disinterestedness and a liberal feeling, and maintaining its practicability.  A handsome monument, in the north-east corner of Fulham church, is thus inscribed:
   Here lies the remains of Joseph Johnson, late of Saint Paul's, London, who departed this life on the 20th day of December, 1809, aged 72 years.  A man equally distinguished by probity, industry, and disinterestedness in his intercourse with the public, and every domestic and social virtue in private life; beneficent without ostentation, ever ready to produce merit, and to relieve distress; unassuming in prosperity, not appalled by misfortune; inexorable to his own, indulgent to the wants of others; resigned and cheerful under the torture of a malady which he saw gradually destroy his life.

1811, May 22.  Died, George Robinson, an eminent bookseller of Paternoster-row, London. He was son of George Robinson [LBT/28675], noted at page 808, ante, and after the death of his father carried on the business conjointly with his uncle, John.  His merits were accompanied by the most unassuming modesty; his good qualities were more solid than shining, more truly useful to himself and others than superficially glaring, or idly ostentatious.  The successors to the exensive concern of the elder Mr.Robinson, were men of the highest integrity, and great skill in their profession. But the business was so immensely large, as to exceed their strength, when the grand pillar of the house was removed. Besides other unforeseen misfortunes, their exertions in trade were baffled in a single night, by the destruction of a printing office in which they happened to have property to a very large amount, by fire.  Discouraged but not daunted, they met this misfortune with firmness, and for a long time struggled to free their vast affairs from the embarrassments which it had occasioned; but, finding their difficulties increase, instead of involving themselves still deeper, by resorting to the usual means of upholding a sinking credity, they met the evil day with resolution and submitted their extensive concerns to an ordeal fatal to the credit of half the commercial world.  They were declared bankrupts, and patiently investigated every account, and punctually fulfilled every engagement; a considerable surplus rewarded their labour and perseverance, and they rapidly emerged with the highest honour to themselves, their credit gathered strength from the shock, which a short time before had meanced its annihilation.  The unremitting exertions of Mr.George Robinson, throughout the whole of these difficulties, perhaps, shortened his life; but he lived to see them crowned with success, and a comfortable provision made for those most deat to him.

Of him Mr.Dibdin observes "In the present Caxton-loving age, with what avidity would such a number of this printer's books be sought after.  They will rarely ever again appear in one collection so numerous or so perfect.  I am well acquainted with the skill and liberality of Messrs. Payne, White, Egerton, and Evans - that these know and love Caxton as well as Aldus, Froben, and the Stephenses; but I question if, in the ocean  of English black-letter, they have taken quite so deep a plunge as Mr.Manson, of Gerard-street, Soho.  It is due to the spirit and perseverance of this latter bookseller, to notice his love of the imprints, colophons, and devices of our venerable English typographers.   Professor Heyne could not have exhibited greater signs of joy at the sight of the Townley manuscript of Homer, than did Mr.Manson on the discovery of Rastill's Pastymes of the People among the books of Mr.Brand.  If I wished for a collection of Rembrandt's or Nanteuil's prints, or of old portraits and black-lettered books, catalogued, I would, with the utmost confidence, resign the whole to the integrity and discrimination of Mr.Manson." -  Director, vol.II, p.36.

1812, April 30,  Died, Henry Lemoine, bookseller, who was for many years known to the trade as a translator of German and other languages, and compiler of many of the numerous tracts with which London abounds; he was also a frequent contributor of poetical essays to the Gentleman's Magazine, and other periodical works: he had for some years been a bookseller, in Bishopsgate church-yard.  He published, in 1797, Tyographical Angtiquities; history, origin and progress of the art of printing, from its first invention, in Germany, to the end of the seventeenth century; and from its introduction into England, by Caxton, to the present time: including, among a variety of curious and interesting matter, its progress in the provinces, with chronological lists of eminent printers, in England, Scotland, and Ireland.  Together with anecdotes of several eminent literary characters, who have honoured the art by their attention to its improvement; also a particular and complete history of the Walpolian press, established at Strawberry-hill - with an accurate list of every publication issued therefrom, and the exact number printed thereof.  At the conclusion is given a curious issertation on the origin of the use of paper; also a complete history of the art of wood-cutting and engraving on copper, from its first invention in Italy, to its latest improvements in Great Britain: concluding with the adjudication of literary property, or the laws and terms to which authors, designers, and publishers are separately subject; with a catalogue of remarkable bibles and common prayer books, from the infancy of printing to the present time.

1814, May 8  Died, William Nelson Gardiner, bookseller, of Pall-mall, London.  He was a man of great eccentricity of conduct; regardless of all the forms of civilized life, both in his dress and deportment.  He possessed considerable knowledge of books, and was a very spirited engraver.  Accumulated misery, both bodily and mental, led him to commit the rash deed of dying by his own hand.  The evening before his death (the manner of which must excite the commiseration of every good man) he addressed a letter to the editor of the Morning Chronicle, who had shewn him repeated kindnesses, enclosing a "brief memoir of himself".  In this letter he declared that his sun was set for ever - that his business had nearly declined - his catalogue failed - his body was covered with disease - and he had determined to seek that asylum "where the weary are at rest".  He was born at Dublin, Jun 11, 1766.

1815, June.  Died, William Henry Lunn, a very eminent bookseller and proprietor of the Classical Library, Soho-square, London.  Mr.Lunn resided as a bookseller at Cambridge for ten years.  In March, 1797, he removed to London, and succeeded Mr.Samuel Hayes, in Oxford-street; and afterwards, with the approbation of his friends, established the Classical Library, upon a new and extensive plan.  The views of Mr.Lunn were announced ina perspicuous and even elegant advertisement, with a tone of thinking far aised above the narrow and selfish views of a mind intent only in profit.  The fortune which Mr.Lunn inherited from his father, was very inconsiderable.  On his first settlement in London, a part of the propert bequeathed to him ultimately by his uncle, Mr.Rabutte, of Cambridge, amounting nearly to #10,000, came into his possesion and enabled him, doubtless, for sometime to carry on with effect the concerns of the Classical Library. His vigilance and integrity were manifested in the good condition of his books; and perhaps his munificence was more to be commended than his discretion.  The whole of his property was embarked in his trade, and under circumstances more favourable his accumulation must have been rapid.  But he had to struggle with unusual and most stubborn difficulties. Like every other bookseller, Mr.Lunn was doomed to losses from the inability of his customers to make their payments.  He dealt with men whose rank, whose delicacy, and, upon some occasions, whose poverty protected them from that importunity with which the generality of trademen enforce their claims.  In the mean time, for the support of his credit both at home and abroad, he was compelled to fulfil his own engagements without deduction and without delay.  The return of peace, by opening a free communication with the continent, was beneficial to other traders, but most injurious to Mr.Lunn, and was, no doubt, the chief cause of those embarrassments which disturbed his spirits, and shortened his existence. Disappointed in his expectations - alarmed at the prospect of impending losses - perplexed by the application of creditors, whose demands he had frequently satisfied with exemplary punctuality - unaccustomed to propitiate the severe by supplication, to trick the artful by evasion, and to distress the friendly by delay, he was suddenly bereaved of that self-command, which, if he could have preserved it, would eventually have secured for him unsullied respectability, undiminished prosperity, and undisturbed tranquillity.  But in the poignant anguish of his soul, delicacy prevailed over reason, and panic over fortitude. -  Happily for the human race, all the extenuations which accompany such cases, are reserved for the tribunal of that Being, who knoweth of what we are made, and remembereth that we are but dust.  Many a Christian wil be disposed to commiserate the circumstances of Mr.Lunn's death, and many a man of letters may find reason to deplore the loss of his well meant, and well directed labours.  Unfortunately Mrs.Lunn and her daughters had not the means of carrying on the business in which Mr.Lunn was engaged.  Their doom was to lament an affectionate husband and an indulgent father.

1815, Nov. 22. Died, James Lackington, the celebrated bookseller of Finsbury-square, London; who, from a very humble birth, retired from the bookselling business with a competent fortune, the reward of his own ingenuity, industry, and tact.  This remarkable individual in his Autobiography, informs us that he was born at Wellington, in Somersetshire, August 31, 1746; that his father, George Lackington, was a journeyman shoemaker, and a person of such dissipated habits, that the whole charge of rearing his family fell upon his wife, a very industrious woman, who could not afford to pay two-pence-a-week for schooling.  At the age of fourteen he was bound apprentice to a shoemaker at Taunton, with whom he remained seven years, and worked as a journeyman at Bristol and other places.  In 1770, he was married at St.Peter's church, Bristol, to a young woman named Nancy Smith, to whom he had been attached seven years.  In August, 1773, he arrived in London, with two shillings and sixpence in his pocket, and soon obtained plenty of work.  In June, 1774, he opened a little shop in Featherstone-street, in the parish of St.Luke, as a master shoemaker and bookseller; and the first stock which he purchased was a bagful of old books, chiefly on divinity, for a guinea, and with some old scraps of leather, laid the foundation of his future good fortune.  "At that time," says Lackington, "Mr.Wesley's people had a sum of money which was kept on purpose to lend out, for three months, without interest, to such of their society whose characters were good and who wanted a temporary relief.  To increase my little stock, I borrowed five pounds out of this fund, which was a great serfvice to me.  In our new situation we lived in a very frugal manner, often dining on potatoes, and quenching our thirst with water; being absolutely determined, if possible, to make some provision for such dismal times as sickness, shortness of work &c., which we had been frequently involved in before, and could scarcely help expecting not to be our fate again."  In 1775 he lost his wife, which involved him in the deepest distress; but on the 30th of January 1776, he married again.  From this period, success attended him in all his business arrangements, as a dealer in old books; and he mentions, that nothing did him so much good as the practice of selling only for ready money.  He also adopted the plan of publishing catalogues of his books: the first catalogue, he says, contained twelve thousand volumes.  From buying small quantities of books, he rose to be able to purchase whole libraries, reversions of editions, and to contract with authors for manuscripts of works.  This extensive and lucrative business now enable him to live in a very superior style. "I discovered," says he, "that lodgings in the country were very healthy.  The year after, my country lodging was transformed into a country house, and, in another years, the inconveniences attending a stage-coach were remedied by a chariot.  As usual in such ases, the envy of the world pursued Lackington for his supposed extravagance; but it appears he was strictly honourable in trade, and spent only what was his own.  He assures his readers tat he found the whole of what he was possessed of in "small profits, bound by industry, and clasped by economy."  In 1792, the profits of his business amounted to #5000. The success of Lackington enabled him in 1798, to retire from the bookselling business with a competent fortune, the reward of his own igenuity, industry, and tact, in the way of reprintng books at a cheap rate, leaving Mr.George Lackngton, a third cousin, at the head of the firm.  Lackington at first took up his residence in Gloucestershire.  Subsequently, he purchased two estates in Alvestone, one of which was a genteel house, in which he abode, keeping a carriage, and living in great style.  In his retirement, he again joined himself to the methodists, for whom he built and endowed different chapels, and, till the last, expressed his great sorrow for the manner in which he had spoken of that body in his published memoirs.  He finally retired to Budleigh Salterton, in Devonshire; but soon after, his health declined, and at length hs decease took place in the seventieth year of his age.
  Mr.Lackington observed in the motto ofhis carriage, "Small gains do great things;" and in him was exemplofied the quotation very aptly selected for him in omre than one of his catalogues: "Sutor ultra cressidam feliciter ansus."

As a compositor, he was a most valuable assistant, and his steady service might always be relied on.  Moral in his conduct, temperate and rationally frugal in his habits, mild and unassuming in his manners, tis no wonder, with such qualitites and claims to esteem, that his death should have excited the sincere regret of those with whom he was connected.

1820, Dec. 4.  Died, Samuel Rousseau, learned printer, and nephew to the celebrated Jean Jacques Rousseau.  He served his apprenticeship in the printing-office of Mr.John Nichols [?], by whom he was occasionally employed in collecting epitaphs, and other remains of antiquity for the Gentleman's Magazine.  He was a singular instance of patient perseverance in the acquirements of the ancient languages.  Whilst working as an apprentice and journeyman, he taught himself Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Syriac, Persian, and Arabic.  To these acquirements he added a knowledge of the French, and some of the modern tongues.  He was for a short time master of Joy's charity school, Blackfriars.  A few years after the expiration of his apprenticeship, he commenced printing on his own account, in Leather-lane, Holborn, and afterwards removed to Wood-street, Clerkenwell, where he carried on business for some time, but with little advantage to himself and family, having from unforeseen circumstances and losses in trade been obliged to relinquish business.  During the time he was a printer, he taught the Persian language, and compiled and published several oriental works.  After he relinquished the printing business, he edited a variety  of works for the booksellers; but as a creditable support for himself and his family was his aim, and not literary reputation, most of is works appeared under a fictitious name.  They have, however, generally proved successful to the publishers, as their objects were useful; and nothing ever appeared in them contrary to good morals, or the established religion and government.   About three years ago, he was seized with a paralytic stroke, which continued to increase, and joined to a cancerous affection in the face, rendered him incapable of holding a pen, or indeed of feeding himself.  In this accumulated distress, with two daughters, wholly dependent on him for support, a gleam of comfort was afforded him in the best moments of his existence, by a liberal benefaction from that excellent institution.  The "Literary Fund" which also enabled his daughters to consign his reains to a decent grave in the church-yard of St.James's, Clerkenwell.

1828, Nov. 28. Died, Miller Ritchie, who was justly considered the father of English fine printing, aged seventy-seven years.  Baskerville succeeded in producing a type of superior elegance, and an ink which gave peculiar lustre to impressions from his type.  The novel and unusual excellence which his works presented gave a stimulus to the exertions, and drew forth the emulation of many of our countrymen.  The first who started in this novel course was Mr.Miller Ritchie, a native of Scotalnd.  About 1785 he carried on business in Albion-buildings, Bartholomew Close.  An edition of the classics in royal octavo, consisting of the works of Sallust, Pliny, Tacitus, Q.Curtius, Caesar, and Livy, was the work upon which this leading attempt of superior printing was made, at the expense of the rev.Mr.Homer, senior fellow of Magdalen college, Cambridge, who subsequently disposed of the whole impression (escepting those reserved for presents) to the bookseller, Mr.Thomas Payne.  The next work was a quarto Bible in two volumes, 1796, and two unique copies upon India paper, printed on one side only.  Another work, executed by Mr.Ritchie, with uncommon splendour and expense, was Memoirs of the Count de Grammont, a small page upon quarto, one thousand five hundred copies on small paper, five hundred on Whatman's wove, Royal, one copy on vellum, and three copies having the diminutive quarto page worked in the centre of a whole sheet of royal.
   On his first diverging from the beaten track Mr.Ritchie encountered considerable difficulties.  The paper-maker, Mr.Whatman, and the ink-maker, Mr.Blackwell, contributed most successfully, all their skill to this laudable design, but the want of journeymen to enter into the spirit of the undertaking with that extraordinary exertion of care and ingenuity which it indispensably required, was a difficulty the most discouraging, which he had long to contend with, and never wholly conquered; men he could get who by bodily strength would pull down the press, and give the impression, but the giving the colour required skill and patience far exceeding what pressmen had any idea of in this country, so that Mr.Ritchie found himself obliged to manage the balls and beat every sheet with his own hands.  With all his perseverance and skill in printing, he had not the art of getting independent by his labours; he failed in business, and was succeeded in his efforts by Mr.Bulmer; Mr.Bensley and Mr.M'Creery followed, and from the presses of those gentlemen have issued some of the finest specimens of typography which this or any other country has produced.  Emulation is a powerful principle in our nature, and the success which has attended their exertions, contributed in a great degree to give a new tone and character to the profession.

1831, Feb.26.  Died, John Bell, formerly of the Strand, bookseller.  Few men have contributed more, by their industry and good taste, to the improvement of the graphic and typographic arts than Mr.Bell; witness his beautiful editions of the British Poets and Shakspeare.  He was one of the original proprietors of the Fashionable World, the Oracle, and the Morning Post, and projector of that well-established Sunday newspaper, Bell's Weekly Messenger.  Another of is successful projects was the elegant monthly publication La Belle Assemblee.  Mr.Bell, in publishing his British Theatre, first set the fashion, which soon became general, of discarding the long s, about 1795.  He died at Fulham, in the eighty-sixth year of his age.  He was one of the most marked men of his day; he possessed a masculine understanding, which a long course of observation, and a particular quickness and facility in observing, had very highly cultivated - so as to have given him a judgement as just and exact as his powers of conception were vigorous and acute.  He had an instinctive perception of what was beautiful in every possible combination of the arts.

1805, Dec.12.  Died, John Almon, printer, bookseller, and author, of Piccadilly, London. He was the son of John Almon, of Liverpool, who married Isabella, daughter of Gilbert and Margaret Thompson, of Aughton, near Ormskirk, and in reight of his wife, became possessed of estates in North Meoles.  The subject of this sketch was born Dec.17, 1737. And received his education at Warrington.  In March, 1751, he was put apprentice to Mr.Robert Williamson, of Liverppol, printer and bookseller.  In the month of September, 175, he left Liverpool, and went to the continent, and visited several places in Holland, and was a short time up the Mediteranean; from thence he returned to England, and went to Lodon; where being a perfect stranger, he at first sought employment as a journeyman printer.  He worked for Mr.Watts, in Wild's-court, Lincoln's Inn-fields, where he had the same frame which had been occupied by Benjamin Franklin.  He was but a short time in this situation, for he speedily got acquainted with the booksellers, by whom he was employed in some compilation, and writing pamphlets upon temporary subjects.  The extraordinary success which attended the latter, induced Mr.Say, printer of the daily newspaper, called the Gazetteer, in the month of January, 1761, to engage him at a fixed salary, as an assistant to him in the conduct and management of his paper.  In November, 1762, he published a review of Mr.Pitt's administration, which he dedicated to earl Temple, and which brought him acquainted with that nobleman, and who speedily introduced him to the notice of the duke of Newcastle, duke of Devonshire, marquis of Rockinghman, and Mr.Wilks,and he also soon became known to the wits of the day.  On the 27th of October, 1760, he married Miss Elizabeth Jackson, of Millbank, Westminster, by whom he had ten children.  In 1763, the spirit of part advancing to a considerable height, he thought it a good opportunity to emancipate himself from a subaltern situation, and to create a more permant {sic} property for himself and family.  Under the auspices of lord Temple and his friends, he commenced bookseller in Piccadilly; and when the opposition club, called the Coterie, was established, in 1764, Mr.Almon was appointed booseller and stationer to the club.  This circumstance brought him a great flow of business; and the poularity of many of his political pamphlets, soon established his reputation as a publisher and author.  He had boldness to publish writings which other booksellers would have rejected.  The consequence of his upright and uncompromsing conduct in avowing his sentiments in opposition to the measures of government, soon pointed him out as a fit object on whom to wreak their vengeance.  The proceedings against him we have already noticed at the time they took place, at pages 721, 758.  In 1775, he published the New Foundling Hospital for Wit, commonly a volume every year, which met with approbation  He afterwards revised, corrected and methodized the whole, in the form it now appears.  Naturally attached to a sedentary situation, his greatest fault was giving his confidence to unworthy servants, and permitting them to exercise that power which he ought to have kept in his own hands.  Nor had he firmness to withstand their solicitations for favours.  He was therefore duped, betrayed, plundered, and abused by them, according as it suited their occasional views.  At length, ill health obliged him to seek for ease and recovery in retirement, which he flattered himself he should there obtain. With this view he quitted his business, in favour of a very worthy and respectable young man (Mr Debrett) and went into the country.  But he had scarcely settled there when he had the misfortune to lose wife. He left London in June 1781, and Mrs. Almon died in August following.  This stroke affected him deeply, and he mentions it in more than one of his lyrices.  In the month of September, 1784, he married the widow of William Parker, printer of the General Advertiser, and returned once more to London, and to business, taking up his residence in Fleet-street.  He left ease and affluence, to encounter fatigue and rescue indigence.  On this occasion, Mr.Macklin, the comedian, sent him the followng letter, in answer to his application for an order, for a friend, to see his Man of the World.  
  "Dear Sir, - Your tenure in the Man of the World is long and legal, of full twenty years.  You were the first man in the land, who encouraged the author in his hopes of success from that production; therefore in justice he sends you his fiat, which on all occasions will be ready for his old friend Almon.  I sincerely congratulate you, myself, and the public, upon your return to the world of business. You were made for it.  The press wants such spirits.  It is the guardian of the times, and should be its monitor.  I have not beenon the other side of Temple-bar since your resurrection.  Laziness, application, real or fancied illness, hindered me from wishing you joy of your new life in person.  But my first visit shall be to discharge that duty.  - I am, dear Sir, sincerely your friend and humble servant - Oct 28, 1784 - Charles Macklin"
  In his new situation as printer of the General Advertiser, he was again the object of the enmity of the court.  He was not long in Feet-street, before he was chosen into the common council, in which he continued two years.  The speculation of the General Advertiser injured his fortune; and he became a prisoner of the king's bench for a libel, and was aferwards an outlaw.  Extricated at length from his diffficulties, he returned again to England, and settled in Hertfordshire, where he died, leaving his widow in great distress.  In 1804, Mr.Almon gave to the world the genuine correspondence of Mr.Wilkes, which was his last literary performance.  His taste for poetry was far from being contemptible, and some of his lyrics are not without merit; many of his pieces appeared in the New Foundling Hospital for Wit, and in the Asylum for Fugitive Pieces.

1835, Dec 18. Died, Robert Bickerstaff, formerly a bookseller in the Strand, London. He was the youngest son of Mr.Edward Bickerstaff, who held a situation in the excise, and resided at Eastwick, in Hertfordshire. He was apprenticed to Mr.Macfarlane, bookbinder, in Shire-lane, London, and was afterwards assistant to Mr.W. Broome, bookseller, of the Strand, to whose business he succeeded, in April 1797, and which he carried on for twenty years, with the highest credit and integrity. He retired from business in January, 1818, with a moderate fortune, acquired by his own industry, a portion of which he invested in a government life annuity.  Since that time his principal occupation and amusement was to collect prints to illustrate a copy of the "Gentleman's Magazine", from its commencement, in 1731 to 1830. By his will, after bequeathing legacies to the amount of about £2540 to several friends, he left the residue of his property, amounting to near £5,000 to the six benevolent institutions following, in equal proportions:- Literary Fund, National Society for educating the poor, Asylum for female orphans Lambeth, Philanthropic Society, Refuge for the destitute, and Society for the relief of Small Debtors.  As Mr. Bickerstaff left no near relatives, we think he showed great judgment in heading his list of charities by the "Literary Fund".  As a "bookseller" he had obtained his fortune by the abilites of learned men; and at his death he returned a portion of his substance to a society which, with equal promptitude and delicacy administered to the necessities of the unfortunate scholar.  Some of the brightest names in co[n]temporary literature have been beholden to the bounty of this praiseworthy institution, and in numerous instances its interference has shielded friendless merit from utter ruin.  The same grateful feelings for authors in distress seem to have acutated the minds of three eminent printers recently deceased:- Andrew Strahan gave to the Literary Fund, during his life-time, the munificent donation of £1000 three per cents.; and at his death £1000 sterling, free of legacy duty.  Mr.Bulmer bequeathed to the society £50, and Mr. alderman Crowder £37 5s. The company of stationers also as a body, contribute £20  annually to the Literary Fund. Mr. Bickerstaff died at his lodgings, in Great Ormond-street, aged 77 years, and his body was conveyed to interment to the grave of his parents, at Eastwick, Herfordshire.

1834, March 30. Died, Rudolph Ackerman, book and printseller of the Strand, London.  He was born at Stotberg, near Schnecberg, in the kingdom of Saxony, in 1764, and bred to the trade of a coach-builder.  He came early in life to England, shortly before the French revolution, and for some time pursued in London the occupation of a carriage draftsman, which led to an acquaintance with artists, and so to his settlement in business as a printseller in the Strand. Here, by indefatigable industry, intelligence, and enterprize, combined with inviolable honour and integrity in all his transactions, he created that flourishing establishment which has made his name perhaps more extensively known, but at home and aborad, than that of any other tradesman in the British metropolis.
   To him the country is certainly indebted for the original introduction of the lithographic art, to which he directed the publiic attention not only by a translation of the work of Senefelder, its inventor, but also by the specimens which he produced from his own presses. As a publisher, his illustrated topographical works, especially the 'Histories of Westminster Abbey', the 'Universities of Oxford and Cambridge', and the 'Public Schools', are monuments of his spirit and taste.  Mr.Ackerman was the father and originator in England of those elegant 'bijouteries' of the festive season, 'the Annuals', which was a spirited attempt to rival the numerous publications issued in France and Germany.  It is well knonw, that his successful attempt to furnish in the 'Forget me Not', a worthy offering to an object of kindness and affection, has generated in this country a new class of elegant works.  The ardour in which he embarked in the preparation of books, chiefly elementary, for the instruction and enlightenment of the people of the Spanish American states, and in the formation of establishments in some of their principal cities, is deserving of the highest praise.  But it is not for his spirit, activity, intelligence, and honour as a tradesman, that his surviving friends will venerat the character of Mr.ackeran, so much as for the genuine kindness of hear, that cordial hospitality, that warm beneficence, and that active philanthropy in which it abounded.  In the summer of 1830, Mr. Ackerman transferred to his three younger sons and to Mr.Walton, his principal assistant, the establishment which he had founded, and which, by the unremittin g labour of forty years, he had brought to its prosperous condition; the eldest son being already establish in Regent-street. He terminated his useful and honourable life on the 30th of March, 1834, aged seventy years.

1797, April, Died, Orion Adams, a journeyman printer, whose eventful life would occupy a volume of more than ordinary dimensions. He was a native of Manchester, and son of Mr. Roger Adams, original proprietor and printer of the 'Manchester Weekly Journal', 1719, and afterwards of the 'Chester Chronicle'; to which property Orion would, by right, have succeeded, had not his instability and eccentricities prevented it. For the last fifty years his life had been a lamentable scene of chquered events.  In Birmingham (with his partner Boden), and at Manchester, Chester, Plymoth, and Dublin, he may be remembered as a master printer; and there are very few London or provincial printing-offices in the kingdom where he has not occasionally worked as a journeyman.* For several years he practised a kind of itinerant or pedestrian pilgrimage; and frequently, after he had attained his 70th year, walked from London to Chester and back, with a heart as light as his pocket; for, under all adversities, his temper was cheerful, obliging, and friendly.  He was intimately acquainted with many of the first characters of the stage, particularly Barry, Mossop, Ryder (with whose father, as a printer, he was in partnership in Dublin,) and many others; and at the memorable Stratford jubilee, Orion Adams was distinguished as a brilliant character from Birmingham, in his own carriage, though, a few months after, such was the versatility of his fortune, he sunk into the humble character of a distributor of play-bills to an itinerant company.  He died in a very obscure lodging near Chester, at the age of eighty years, in great poverty.
   *In the letters of Daniel Prince, at Oxford, to Mr.Gough and John Nichols, London, there is the following notice of Adams; "Oct. 8, 1795, I send this by Orion Adams, an old itinerant type, remembered by me about fifty years".

1804, Dec 12. Died, John Boydell, who has justly been called "father of the arts in Great Britain". He was born, Jan.19, 1719, at Dorrington, in Derbyshire, of which place his grandfather was vicar.  Engaged himself in the profession of land surveyor, it is said that his father intended him for the same line;but, fortunately for the community, not less than his son, accident threw in the way of the latter, whilst yet young, Baddesley's view of different country seats, which so attracted his attention, that young Boydell resolved to relinquish the pen for the graver, as an instrument far more worthy of his powers; and more likely to reward, as well as extend, the fame of his labours. - Whether genius be, as a great moralist is of opinion that it is, "a mind with strong powers accidently directed to some particular object," it appears most certain that this rising genius was induced to acquire the art of engraving from accidentally contemplating the misrepresentation of a misshapen gothic castle.  It appears almost impossible that an individual, who began the world in so humble circumstances, could have effected so much for the improvement of the arts, and of the national taste.  At the age of twenty-one, he walked up to London, and bound himself apprentice to Mr.Tomms, an engraver, at a time when there were no very eminent engravers in England.  Notwithstading that he was now of age, his conduct, during his apprenticeship, is known to have been most assiduous.  Having prosecuted his professional studies for six years, and finding himself to be a better artist than his teacher, he bought the last year of his apprenticeship from Mr.Tomms, and became his own master.  Returning to his native village, he married an amiable female, the object of his early love, with who he lived many years in great felicity.  Amidst the scenes of his youth, he sketched drawings of several romantic spots, and remarkable buildings, which he subsequently engraved.  Returning to the metropolis, he began to work for himself, and became a printseller of some eminence.  Boydell saw the necessity of forcing the art of engraving by stimulating men of genius with suitable rewards; and seeing that the taste for prints began rapidly to extend, and having felt how sensibly his own interest suffered, together with the honour of his country, by the sums annually drawn from hence in return for the productions of French artists, began to look out for some English engraver who should equal, perhaps excel, them; and, in William Woollet, he found one.  The extraordinary encouragement which his endeavours experienced from the public was equal to the spirit and patriotism of his underatkings, and soon laid the foundation of an ample fortune.  He was elected alderman of Cheap ward in 1782; sheriff in 1785; lord mayor in 1790; and in the same year master of the stationers' company.  The English engravings, which were before considered much inferior to those of foreign nations, began from that time to be highly prized; and the exportation of them became a valuable article of commerce.  Having done so much for the art of engraving, he resolved to direct his efforts to encouraging the art of painting in this country.  To this effect he attempted that undertaking, the salutary effects of which have proved incalculably great, and which exhibited to an astonished and delighted age - the Shakespeare gallery.  What with his engraving of prints at an unusual expense, and his labouring to establish this first British school of historical painting, he expended something more than three hundred and fifty thousand pounds.
  Reflecting on the exertions of alderman Boydell, one cannot but regret that the property which his industry had so richly acquired was subject to its reverses.  Owing to the French revolution, and the consequent war, this worthy man experienced such losses as to be under the necessity of procuring an act of parliament for leave to dispose of the paintings,&c. by lottery.The good old man had the satisfaction of living to see the act passed through both houses of parliament , and of being cheered in its progress by the eulogium of several individual members. It was rather singular that he should have just lived long enough to see the Shakspeare lottery disposed of; for, on the day he paid the debt of nature, not a ticket remained unsold.  To every benevolent institution alderman Boydell was a generous benefactor and an attentive guardian.  His remains were interred in great funeral state, in the afternoon of the 19th of December, in the church of St.Olave Jewry.
   Invincible determination seems to have been one of the constitutional qualities of alderman Boydell.  Having once formed the resolution to become an engraver, nothing could divert his from pursuing his design.  Indefatigability is requisite to successfulness.  Boydell has shown, to those who desire to pursue his steps, that industry, patience, and perseverance, united to talents, and joined with conduct, are, humanly speaking, certain to surmount all difficulties or impediments.  Josiah Boydell, newphew to the above, was an alderman of the city of London, and also eminent as an engraver.

His splendid edition of the 'Bible', then on the eve of being completed, is an unrivalled monument of the taste and energy of the individual who planned and carried it into execution, and of the liberality of the nation whose munificence enable him to accomplish so magnificent an undertaking. It exhibits the utmost perfection of both the arts of engraving and printing. No more were printed than were subscribed for. Mr.Macklin died in London, in the fortieth year of his age; and of him it may truly be said, that the arts lost a most industrious and enterprising tradesman, and society a voluable and repsectable member.

1800 <sic - should be 1802>, Dec 27.   Died, Thomas Cadell, a very eminent and worthy bookseller of London, whose life furnishes another instance, (of the many recorded in this work) that application and industry seldom fail to meet with due reward. He was born in Wine-street Bristol; and served an apprenticeship to Andrew Millar, noticed at page 718 ante.  Mr Cadell, in 1767, succeeded to the business; and, at an early period of life, was at the head of his profession. Introduced by Mr. Millar to writers of the first rank in literature, who had found in him their best Maecenas - to Johnson, Hume, Warburton, Hurd, &c. &c. - he pursued the very same commendable track; and acting upon the liberal principle of his predecessor in respsect to authors, enlarged upon it in an extent, which, at the same time that it did honour to his spirit, was well suited to the more enlightened period in which he carried on business.  In conjunction with William and Andrew Strahan, munificent remunerations were held out to writers of the most eminent talents; and it is owing to the spirit and generosity of these worthy booksellers, that the world has been enriched by the labours of Robertson, Blackstone, Gibbon, Burn, Henry, and numberless other of the ablest writers of the age.  In 1793, Mr. Cadell retired from trade, in the full possession of his health and faculties, and with an ample fortune, the sole and satisfactory fruits of unremitted diligence, spirit, and integrity; leaving the busines which he had established as the first in Great Britain, and perhaps in Europe, to Thomas, his only son, conjointly with Mr.Davies, who following the alderman's example, have preserved the high reputation acquired from the libarality, honour, and integrity of their predecessors.  Accustomed, however, from early days, to business, and conscious that an idle life was a disgrace to a man of clear intellects, sound judgments, and an active mind, he, with laudable ambition,  sought, and most honourably obtained, a seat in the magistracy of the city of London; being unanimously elected, March 30 1798, to succeed his friend, Mr.Gill, as alderman of Walbrook ward. At Midsummer, 1800, a period when party spirit ran high, he was elected by a very honourable majority on a poll, with his friend, Mr.Alderman Perring, to the shrievalty of London and Middlesex.  To the Asylum, where he had long been a valuable treasurer, the Foundling Hospital, and various other public charities, of which he was an active governor, and where his presence gave animation to their proceedings, while his purse liberally aided their funds, his loss was great: - to a very extensive circle of friends, (and there are several, who had unbent their inmost souls with him for more than forty years) it was incalculable.  He was eminently characterized by the rectitude of his judgment, the goodness of his heart, the venevolence of his disposition, and the urbanity of his manners; and, whether considered in his magisterial character, or in the more retired walks of social or domestic life, few men could be named, so well deserving of private veneration or public esteem.  One of the latest public acts of his life was presenting to the company of stationers, of which he had been thirty-seven years a liveryman, a handsome painted window for the embellishment of their hall. By an affectionate wife, who died in January, 1786, he had one son and one daughter; both of whom he lived to see united in marriage, to his entire satisfaction; and who have now the comfort to reflect, that their father fulfilled the various duties allotted to him with the honour of a man and the integrity of a Christian.  He died at his house in Bloomsbury-place, in the sixtieth year of his age. In a sermon preached by Mr.Hutchins (then chaplain to the lord mayor,) on the 9th of January following, a handsome complement is paid to alderman Cadell, for "gentleness of manners, benevolence of disposition, purity of morals, tenderness to the unfortunate, and an unaffected deportment, in the various offices of citizen, magistrate, parent, and friend".

6 Jun 1801 - At his house in Pater-noster-row, in the 65th year of his age, Mr.George Robinson, an eminent bookseller; whose death will be lamented by a large circle of acquaintance; and of whom it may be truly said, no man discharged the duties of private life with more active zeal or more steady virtue; as a husband, a father, and a friend, he was warm and sincere, affectionate and tender.  These, however, are the common features of every worthy man's character; but Mr.Robinsons' s death will be felt and regretted on a broader and more public ground - as a loss to the world of letters. During the better half of the past century, Jacob Tonson and Andrew Millar were the best patrons of literature; a fact rendered unquestionable, by the valuable works produced under their fostering and genial hands.  Their successors, Mr.Alderman Cadell, the late Mr.Strahan, and his surviving son, exceeded their predecessors in the spirit of enterprise, which led them, at great expence, to publish the works of the many celebrated writers that have ornamented the age in which we live.  Mr.Robinson, standing alone and unconnected, boldly rivalled these, the most powerful of his competitors; and, by his liberality to authors, his encouragement to engravers, and other artists of the press, has considerably added to the stores of science and taste. - An excellent correspondent, who had the best possible means of knowing him intimately, adds, " Our late worthy friend affords another instance of the benefits of industry and integrity in the establishment of the most important concerns of trade, and of the fairest fame.  He was born at Dalston, in Cumberland, and, about 1755, came up to London in search of such employment as he might be qualified for by a decent education, and a great share of natural sense and shrewdness.  His first engagement was, we believe, in the respectable house of Mr.John Rivington, from which he went to that of Mr.Johnstone, on Ludgate-hill, where he remaind until 1763-4, when he commenced business as a bookseller in Paternoster-row, in partnership whith Mr.John Roberts, who died about 25 years since.   The commencement of an undertaking like this required a copital; and the uniform habits of industry and punctuality which Mr.R had displayed, while managing the concerns of others, pointed him out as one who might be entrusted.  He has often been heard to acknowledge his gratitude to the late Mr.Thomas Longman, who liberally, and unasked, offered him any sum, on credit, that might be wanted.  In a short time, however, these small beginnings swelled into concerns of importance.  Mr.R's active spirit, knowledge of business and reputable connexion, soon enabled him to achieve the higher branches of the business, and, in the purchase of copyrights, he became the rival of the most formidable of the old established houses; and before the year 1780, he had the largest wholesale trade that was ever carried on by an individual.  In 1784, he took into partnership his son and brother, who are his successors.  In the rise and progress of so great a concern, Mr.R. was an eminent proof (if so plain a truth requires a proof) how much may be done by habits of attention, industry, and, above all, inflexible integrity and perseverance.  We have authority to say, from the most successful of his rivals, the first bookseller in London, and now a magistrate of high rank, that "of George Robinson's integrity too much cannot be said."  It was this which frequently involved him in the troublesome, yet honourable offices of arbitrator in cases of dispute, and executor and assignee in the events of death or bankruptcy; and there are probably none in the trade who cannot testify in his favour in some one of those departments.  He had, indeed, a natural aversion to every thing little, mean, and partaking of subterfuge and undue artifice; and many will remember, that, when his indignation was roused by actions of this description, he expressed it in terms peculiarly harsh and inaccomodating.  As his success in business proceeded, he extended his liberality to authors in no common degree; and it will be difficult to find an instance where he did not amply gratify the wish of the party, if at all compatible with prudence, or even the distant probability of return.  It was his opinion, that liberality to authors was the true spirit of bookselling enterprize, and, perhaps, little can be done if occasional failures are allowed to break in upon this system.  If the writer of the present article, who for many years has enjoyed, Mr.R's intimacy, were to venture on an objection, at a time when he feels nothing but regret, it would be that Mr.R. rather gave too much than too little, and that he sometimes gave a consequence to works, which neither their own merit, nor the opinon of the public, could ever sanction - Still another trait of his character must not be forgotten.  If, add to their concern with him as a publisher, his authors obtained his friendship, no man could serve them with more active zeal in every emergency; and, although he had on some occasions the common fate of generous minds, that of bestowing his favours improperly, he never permitted such a circumstance to contract his desire to serve those for whom he professed an attachment.  Few men will probably be regretted by a more extensive acquaintance; and it is particularly noticeable in his history, that amidst the strictest attention to business, he was throughtout the whole of his early life enabled, by a due division of time, appropriate more to social pleasures than many men could venture to do with impunity.  For the social enjoyments of life, indeed, he was eminently qualified.  He had mproved the scanty education of a Northern village by some reading, but principally by the company of literary men, and by a memory uncommonly tenacious.  His own mind was shrewd, penetrating, and enriched by various experience.  He had likewise a great share of wit and vivacity; many of his bons mots, which have been pretty extensively circulated among his friends, would do credit to men of the first reputation in this minor department of genius.  His sense of ridicule was remarkably strong, and few men excelled him in telling a story, of which he had a plentiful stock, and which he varied with circumstantial embellishment that were irresistably laughable.  Versed too, in the literary and business-history of his time, his a conversatiion was a rich fund of information, and his memory in dates and minutiae gave an authority which made him be frequently consulted when points in dispute were to be accurately ascertained.  Of late years he visted less abroad, but was seldom happy without the company of his friends at home, who found themselves welcomed to a well spread table, without ceremony and without affectation.  He imposed no condition but that of punctuality to the hour of dinner, and in that particular, it is well known, he never relaxed to persons of any rank or condition:  Such were some of the features of a character which will be long remembered by a very extensive circle of friends, and on which the writer of this article could expatiate at a greater length, were it necessary.   To have said less would not have been respectrful to his memory; and to indulge the feelings of private friendship, in more ample recollections, becomes the province of memory rather than of public record.  Mr.R. was seized with the illness which proved fatal on Monday, May 25, while at a meeting of booksellers, at the accustomed place, the Chapter coffee-house: from this he was obliged to retire hastily, and soon exhibited symptoms of fever; this abated so far, in the subsequent week, as to give hopes of recovery; these hopes were particularly encouraged, even on the evening, June 5, preceding his death, when he became calm, took his medicines willingly, and seemed, to all human appearance free from fever.  These symptoms, however, were fallacious; the snares of death were wound around him, and at 5 on Saturday morning he expired.  He was interred, on Thursday the 11th, in the burying-ground belongin to St.Faith's in St.Paul's church-yard."

1802, Feb 1. Died, Paul Vaillant, an opulent and respectable bookseller in the Strand, London, in the eighty-seventh year of his age, being at that time father of the company of stationers, of which he had been a liveryman sixty-four years.  He left two sons, one of them in holy orders; the other, well known and respected as a gentleman of great literary talents, and eminent as one of the counsellors at law in the corporation of London.  In 1739, or 1740, Mr.Vaillant went to Paris, for the purpose of superintending the famous edition of Cicero by the abbé Oivet; and again, in 1759, to settle the plan for a new edition of Tacitus, by the abbé Brotier.  He was one of the sheriffs of London and Middlesex in 1760, memorable for the conviction of a noble earl, * [*Lawrence Shirley, earl Ferrers, was committed to the tower, Feb. 30, 1760, for the murder of his steward, Mr.Johnson, and executed at Tyburn, May 5.] who, previous to his execution, made Mr.Vaillant a present of his stop-watch, with many acknowledgments for his polite attentions and civilities; and he was also in the commission of the peace for Middlesex.* [*Mrs.Vaillant died in London, Jan 18, 1827, aged 91]. His grandfather (Paul Vailant) was of a respectable Protestant family at Samur, in the French province of Anjou.  At the time of the revocation of the edict of Nantes, he escaped with his life from the bloody Dragonade of the Hugonots by that merciless tyrant Louis XIV.; and in 1686, settled as a foreign bookseller in the Strand, opposite Southampton-street, (see page 664 ante,) where himself and his sons Paul and Isaac, his grandson, the late Mr.Vaillant, and Mr.Elmsly, successively carried on the same trade, in the same house, till nearly the end of the eighteenth century.

1802  The printing office of Samuel Hamilton, of London, destroyed by fire. Amongst other property destroyed, was the second edition of the "Travels of Anacharsis the Younger, in Greece", from the French of Barthelemy, seven vols. 8vo. It was then given to Mr. Gillett , to print, and finished within a few sheets, when the whole impression perished in a second conflagration, - a circumstance which gave rise to an expensive litigation between the printer and the proprietors of the work.
---
   1805, Dec. 12.  The printing office of Mr.Gillett, in Salisbury-court, Fleet-street, London, desstroyed by fire. It was in this fire, that the "Travels of Anacharsis, noticed at page 811, were consumed, which gave rise to the following trial in the court of common pleas, Guildhall, London, Jul 3, 1807.
   Gillett v. Mawman - Mr.Serjeant Vaughan opened the plaintiff's case, the substance of which was shortly this:  Mr.Gillett had printed for Mr. Mawman, bookseller, a certain number of copies of a work, entitled, the "Travels of Anacharsis". In 1825 Mr.Gillett's premises were destroyed by fire, and amongst other property the above work.  At Christmas Mr.Gillett sent in his general bill as a printer to Mr.Mawman; who set off all the property which belonged to him, and which had been consumed in the fire, which was £568 from the charge which had been made for the printing of the "Travels of Anacharsis": and £1,106 10s. For paper belonging to the defendant, which had been given to Mr.Gillett for him to print various other works on for Mr.Mawman, and which also had been consumed.
   It was contended, that there was a custom in the trade, as between bookseller and printer, by which the paper of the bookseller, and all other property belonging to him, wasted by the printer was at his own risk; and, therefore, the printer must not only pay for the loss of all the paper he had in hand belonging to the bookseller, but he must also lose the labour of the printing; in a word, that in case of fire, it was the custom of the trade, that the whole loss should be borne by the printer.
   For Mr.Gillett, it was contended, that there existed no such custom, and that it was repugnant to common sense to attempt to establish it; Mr.Gillett had his house destroyed by fire, a circumstance which he could not help, consequently he was not reposnisble for the loss which had been sustained in this case.
   Several witnesses said that such a custom did exist, and stated instances of Mr.Rickaby, Mr.H.S.Woodfall, and others, who paid for losses sustained by booksellers.
   On the other hand, it appeared from the evidence of several witnesses, that they knew of no such custom as that set up by the bookseller, that the printer was to be at the risk of the loss of paper, &c. belonging to the bookseller in case of fire, when the paper was in the printer's hands.
   The chief justice summed up the substantial parts of the evidence, and the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the sum of £145. 9s. 10d. Being the sum admitted by the defendant to be due to him upon balance of accounts after allowing him his set off.  They found no custom in this case.

1803, July 2.  Died, Thomas Evans, a considerable bookseller in Paternoster-row, to which situation he advanced himself by industry and perseverance, as he had, in common with many other repspectable characters who have trod in the same path, very little to boast of in point of origin. Living, when he first went to London with Mr. William Johnston, bookseller, of Ludgate-street,  in the humble capacity of porter.  Her afterwards became publisher of the "Morning Choronicle" and the "London Packet", which introduced him to the acquaintance of Dr.Kenrick, Mr.Macfarlane, (author of the "History of the Reign of George") and several other literary characters, from whose friendship and conversation he obtained much valuable information.  During his publication of the former of these papers a paragraph appeared in it against Dr.Goldsmith, which so highly incensed the doctor, that he was determined to seek revenge; and no fitter object presenting itself than the publiisher, he was resolved all the weight should fall upon his back.  Accordingly he went to the office, cane in hand, and fell upon him in a most unmerciful manner.  This Mr.Evans resented in a true pugilistic style; and in a few moment the author of the "Vicar of Wakefield" was disarmed, and extended on the floor, to the no small diversion of the by-standers.  Mr. Evans next succeeded to the business and extensive connexion of Messrs. Hawes, Clarke and Collins, Paternoster-orw.  The success he met with in this house was beyond his most anxious expectations; and the youths who were bred up under his instruction became the ornaments of their professions.  He had for some years retired from business. He bequeathed the bulk of his fortune to Mr.Christopher Brown, (late assistant to Mr. Longman, bookseller, Paternoster-row, and father of Mr.Thomas Brown, now a partner in that respectable house,) with whom he had continued on terms of the closest friendship for above forty years.  He left one surviving son, who was at sea; and a nephew of his was a clerk in the house of Messrs.Longman and co.  To his wife, with whom he had not lived during the last five years, he bequeathed £40 a-year, and also £20 a-year to a niece.  The cause of separation from his wife was attributed to her partiality for one of her sons, who failed in business as a bookseller, in Paternoster-row, and afterwards was literally reduced to beggary, and died in the street about a year and half before his father.  Mr.Evans requested in his will that he might be buried without a coffin or shroud, and that the whole of his funeral expense should not exceed forty shillings.

1805, Dec. 12.  Died,  Henry Samson Woodfall, proprietor and printer of the Public Advertiser.  He was the eldest son of Henry Woodfall, noted at page 720, ante  [ST/3:9058], and born at the sign of the Rose and Crown, in Little Britain, on the 21st of June 1739, O.S.  Under the fostering attention of his grandfather, he received the rudiments of his education, and, before he had attained his fifth year, had the honour or receiving from Pope half-a-crown, for reading to him, with much fluency, a page of Homer, in the Greek Language.  He was afterwards sent to a respectable school at Twickenham; and at the age of little more than eleven years, he was removed to St.Paul's.  On leaving that school he was taken apprentice by his father; and on attaining the age of nineteen had committed to his charge the business of editing and printing the Public Advertiser, though his name did not appear to the paper till the 17th of November, 1760.  From this period to the beginning of November, 1793, he continued uninterruptedly in the exercise of the labourious functions which a daily newspaper necessarly requires, more especially where the joint duties of editor and printer devolve on the same person, as in the case of Mr.Woodfall.  During the course of so long a period, when parties ran extremely high, and particularly from the year 1769, when the celebrated Letters of Junius first appeared under that signature, it is not surprising that a printer should have occasionally got into some difficulties; and this Mr.Woodfall, after he had retired from business, used to speak of not unpleasantly, and apparently with satisfaction; not with exultation, as acting in opposition to the then adminstration, but as having passed through the perils to which he had been subjected, in publishing the party effusions of the most able writers of the day, without any serious inconvenience to the comforts he then enjoyed.  The punishments consequent upon his political transgressions formed, he said, a kind of anti-climax of retribution: that he had been fined by the house of lords; confined by the house of commons; fined and confined by the court of king's bench; and indicted at the Old Bailey.  In the conduct of the Public Advertiser, however, he was strictly impartial; and notwithstanding the great and deserved popularity of Junius, yet, by a reference to his papers of that day, it will be seen that as many very able letters on the ministerial side of the question were admitted as on that of the opposition, and without any other preference than priority of receipt, or than the temporary nature of the subject would demand.  With regard to the line of conduct he had adopted respecting his paper, in a pecuniary pont of view, it was always most scrupulously honourable and correct; and, though frequently offered money to suppress certain articles of intelligence, not pleasant to the particular individual, yet never could he be prevailed upon to forego what he deemed to be his duty to the public, for any consideation of such a kind, however much to his personal advantage.  Mr.Woodfall succeeded his father, as a printer, in Paternoster-row, in the year 1769; and, on being offered the common councilship, vacant by the death of his father, declined it, on the ground, as he jokingly said, that it was his duty to record great actions, not to perform them. Mr.Woodfall retired from business on the destruction of his printing-office by fire, in December, 1793, having parted with the Public Advertiser in the preceding November.  The paper was discontinued about two years after Mr.Woodfall parted with it.  Mr.Woodfall was master of the stationers' company in the year 1797, of which he had been a liveryman upwards of 45 years.  He resided at Chelsea during the last twelve years of his life, occasionally visiting his old and numerous acquaintance, by whom he was highly respected for his good humour and social qualities.  He had lived much in intimacy with Garrick and Colman, Smollett, (Leonidas) Glover, Goldmsith, Hawkesworth, Bonnel Thornton, and other wits of his day, by whose labours the Public Advertiser rose to a very high reputation, as a depositary of literary humour, criticism, and information.  In Mr.Woodfall's time the newspapers were more devoted to the interests of general literature than at present; and it was not unusual with men of the first talents to sendtheir thoughst on subjects of manners, morals, and other domestic and instructive topics, which have been ill exchanged for the violence of party declamation.  It remains only to add, that, in many cases, Mr.Woodfall acted as a liberal patron of early genius He reitred from active life, to enjoy the "otium cum dignitate" among a select circle of friends, who highly esteemed him for his amiable and inoffensive manners.  His tomb, in Chelse church-yardm, is thus inscribed -
   Sacred / to the memory of / Henry-Samson Woodfall, esq. / many years an eminent printer in London / who departed this life Dec.12, 1805 / aged 66 / a gentleman / of a liberal mind and education; / the associate and patron of / many distinguished literary characters / of the last age; / exemplary in the discharge of his duty of / husband, father, and friend.

His talents rose above mediocrity; and he evinced fertility in the invention of schemes, but did not possess sufficient steadiness or patience to carry them into effect, or beneficial execution.  He who can write a lively farce is generally a facetious companion, and that praise will not be denied to Mr.Coote.  He produced, with great rapidity of composition, an opera and five farces, three of which have been printed; but he had not that weight of interest which was requisite to bring them on the stage.  Mr.Coote had seven children, six of whom survived him.

Out of the first year's receipt, Mr.Sweeting directs that £10 be laid out in something to preserve 'his memorial in the company,' and that his brother, who was a merchant in London, should be advised with on that subject.  He also desires that £6 should be expended on two dinners (£3 for each dinner) for all the bachelors that are booksellers free of the company of stationers, shopkeepers themselves in the city of London. After the first year, the annual sum to be thus applied: to the master 10s. For a pair of gloves; and 20s.
