Francis Newbery (publisher) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Francis Newbery (publisher) Francis Newbery (1743–1818) was an English publisher and businessman. ==Life== Born on 6 July 1743, he was son of John Newbery the publisher, of St. Paul's Churchyard; alone of his brothers he survived his father. After schooling at Ramsgate and Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, he entered Merchant Taylors' School in 1758, and matriculated at Trinity College, Oxford, on 1 April 1762. Four years afterwards he migrated to Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, but he took no degree in either university. On the death of his father, in 1767, Newbery abandoned plans of a professional career, on the advice of his father's friends Samuel Johnson and Robert James. He went into the business of patent-medicine selling and publishing which his father had created. In 1779 he transferred the patent-medicine part of the business to the northeast corner of St. Paul's Churchyard, leaving the book publishing at the old spot. The firm was subsequently known as Newbery & Harris, for the partner John Harris; in 1865 it became Messrs. Griffiths & Farran.〔 Newbery in 1791 purchased Heathfield Park, the estate of Lord Heathfield in Sussex. He died on 17 July 1818.〔
