Henry Curwen (1845 1892) was a journalist and author who became
editor of the Times of India. First published in 1874, A History of
Booksellers aimed at providing an informative but entertaining
picture of British bookselling and publishing, by means of
'biographies' of the major publishing houses and their output. He
begins with a general survey of publishing and bookselling from
Roman times to the nineteenth century, including a discussion of
copyright legislation. It is clear that by 1800 the demand for
books was considerable and growing: Alexander Donaldson, who
specialised in cheap reprints of popular works, though repeatedly
sued over copyright by other publishers, died in 1794 a very rich
man. Many of the firms Curwen discusses are still well-known names,
such as Longmans, Chambers, Butterworths and W. H. Smith. He
concludes with anecdotes on some of the better known
representatives of the provincial book trade.
