Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketches of Booksellers of Other Days Since the death of the late Mr. George Murray Smith, who was a few months my senior, I am told that I am the oldest London publisher. To be called the doyen of the trade is of that kind of distinction which one can accept without pride, and adopt without vanity. It is a distinction to which everyone is heir who only lives long enough, and it is presumably one which no one specially envies or covets, seeing that "... barring all pother ´twixt one and the other, We shall all be kings in our turn." An intercourse of sixty years and more with Books and Booksellers, Authors and Publishers, gives me almost the title to think that I am in my own person a kind of link between the Publishers of to-day and the Booksellers of the eighteenth century of whom I have endeavoured to give some glimpses.
