Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book was published in England in 1868 after the author's passing, and it serves as an epitaph to the life of Effingham Wilson, a respected publisher and businessman who was active from 1802 until his death in 1868. In addition to his own personal history, including memories from his childhood in Yorkshire to his passing in London, the book is a snapshot into the social and political climate in England during Wilson's professional life in the 19th century. Wilson published politically-charged works at a time when doing so was considered dangerous and radical, and his shop and office were destroyed by fire due to an incident during the Reform Bill agitations in 1832. Wilson was also instrumental in publishing the works of such notable literary figures as Alfred Tennyson and Thomas Campbell, and he was one of the first publishers of Jeremy Bentham, a prolific writer on law and political theory.
