David Alphonso Talboys
David Alphonso Talboys (c. 1790–1840) was an English bookseller, known as a publisher, translator, and local politician.
==Life==
Born about 1790, Talboys established himself as a bookseller in Bedford. He subsequently moved his business to Oxford, where he became known for his knowledge of the book trade. In 1823 he went into partnership with James Luff Wheeler, the university bookseller, who married his daughter Anne Ophelia. Talboys & Wheeler then began to publish the "Oxford English Classics" series, with William Pickering of Chancery Lane, London.
On 1 December 1827 Talboys was admitted to the privileges of a member of Oxford University. He took a leading part in the affairs of the city of Oxford, was a councillor of the east ward, and served the office of sheriff.〔 After the election of 1835, Talboys was seen as the leader of the radical reformers in Oxford municipal affairs; together with Charles Sadler, a moderate reformer, he was able to make some changes in charity organisation. He was then attacked by the ''Oxford Herald'', controlled by Philip Bliss, who attempted to have his business boycotted.
Talboys died at Oxford on 23 May 1840, leaving a widow and seven children.〔
