Draws on a uniquely rich archive to paint a new and clearer picture of the book trade during a critical period of its history. A remarkably complete record of both John Murray's business career (1768-1793) and his private life is preserved in the archive of the London publishing house which still bears his name. Dr Zachs fully exploits this material to chart Murray's success in the competitive book trade - success achieved by his imaginative use of the many new practices which were revolutionising the industry. The accounts of Murray's negotiations with authors and other traders, and the details of how he produced and marketed his publications, lay bare the fundamental economics of the book trade. Simultaneously, Dr Zachs tells the story of a remarkable life. Murray was a complicated man, honest and hypocritical, self-serving and generous, a constant schemer capable of considerable spontaneity, a strait-laced libertine. Married twice (to sisters), the father of an illegitimate son for whom he had lifelong affection, he was anything but conventional. Both fascinating narrative and work of scholarship, this volume offers many telling insights into the cultural history of its period. It also includes a comprehensive checklist of Murray's titles, with detailed information about their publication." Contents include: Early years; Thirty-two Fleet Street, at the Sign of the Ship; The eighteenth-century book trade; Dealing with authors; The London trade; Trade outside London; The Irish trade; Family matters; Diversity and specialisation; A litigious and disputatious nature; Periodical publications; The politics of a bookseller; Later years.

Cloth, 8vo, 25 cm, xcii, 899 pp, 8 pp plates, facs. From the prefaratory note: "This is the first volume in our series comprising booklists from one of the ancient English universities. Like those from other institutions that feature in the series, the lists that survive from medieval Cambridge are highly diverse in nature, but in one significant respect they are unusual, in that they do not all relate to dispersed libraries: a substantial part of the medieval collections, in particular of Gonville and Caius College, Pembroke College, and Peterhouse, remain in situ (and for that reason were largely excluded from Neil Ker's Medieval Libraries of Great Britain). This volume opens up the Cambridge libraries as a whole to new understanding; they are, for instance, often not seen in their medieval setting. The picture of growth in these collections is a dynamic one; it shows how books were bought, copied and bequeathed, and sometimes (alas!) lost. For this reason, an appendix listing donors of books is included, and where books are named in the record of a donation, most often wills, the information is edited here." Sections cover: University; Burden Hostel; Christ's College; Clare Hall; Corpus Christi College; Gonville Hall; Jesus College; King's College; King's Hall; Michaelhouse; Pembroke College; Peterhouse; Queens' College; Donor documents.

From the preface : "With fewer than 450 books in 1389, the library of Dover Priory was smaller than several described in [corpus vol of shorter bend cats ] It is not the number of books but the scale of John Whytefelde's catalogue, in all its precocious sophistication and astonishing detail, that demands a volume to itself. His inclusion of dictiones probatoriae for every volume and incipits for almost every one of about 1500 titles will prove an immense boon to students of such catalogues who are seeking confirmation that a medieval title has been correctly identified.

From the introduction: "This volume is the second volume of the longer Benedictine catalogues to appear in the series. .Peterborough abbey, the subject of the present work, is not known for the size of its medieval library or the number of its surviving books, and yet its collection is represented by a remarkable range of surviving evidence; the largest catalogue, the so-called Matricularium, lists some 1900 titles in nearly 350 volumes. The Matricularium is a complicated document that has presented some uniquely difficult and interesting challenges to its editors." New.
