About the author
Founded in London in 1848 by John Cassell, Cassell & Company began by publishing material linked to the temperance movement and quickly expanded into educational books, magazines, and general-interest works.
Over the late 19th century, the firm developed into a large international publishing business, becoming especially well known for its wide-ranging catalogue and illustrated publications. Its history also includes earlier business names such as Cassell, Petter and Galpin before the better-known Cassell & Company form.
In the 20th century, the company continued as an established British imprint and later became part of larger publishing groups. Because this is a publisher rather than an individual author, a traditional author portrait is not really available; the image here is its historic publisher's device.
