About the author
Founded by John Hatchard (1769–1849), this publishing house grew out of the renowned Hatchards bookshop in Piccadilly, London, which he established in 1797. John Hatchard became well known as a bookseller and publisher, and the business earned a lasting place in British literary history.
The name J. Hatchard and Son reflects the period when Hatchard worked in partnership with his son Thomas Hatchard. By the early 19th century, the firm was issuing books from Piccadilly and had built a strong reputation, especially for religious works and other serious nonfiction.
Although it was a publishing imprint rather than an individual author in the usual sense, J. Hatchard and Son is remembered because of its connection to one of London's best-known bookshops. Hatchards still exists today, and that continuity helps keep the story of this influential family business alive.
