About the author
Based in London and Edinburgh, Williams & Norgate was a British publishing and bookselling firm best known for scholarly and scientific literature. It was founded in the winter of 1842 by Edmund Sydney Williams and Frederick Norgate, and built a reputation for handling both British and foreign-language works.
The firm played a useful role in the exchange of ideas during the 19th century, especially in theology, science, and academic publishing. Its catalogue included serious nonfiction and translations, helping readers in Britain reach important continental scholarship as well as homegrown intellectual work.
Williams & Norgate remained active into the early 20th century before later being absorbed by another publisher. There does not appear to be a clear single-author portrait image to use here, since this is a publishing house rather than an individual writer.
