THE visitor to the Liverpool Museum will find no object more interesting than the Model of Liverpool, as it appeared a hundred years ago. At that time Liverpool was little more than a fishing village, or hamlet, connected with the parish of Walton-onthe-Hill. The spirit, industry, enterprising pursuits, and speculative habits of its inhabitants have resulted in raising the town to its present proud position, and its sea-port to be the most extensive, as it is the most important, in the world. Much of its prosperity, however, is to be dated from its traffic in slaves; although the present generation has no sympathy with the traffic from which their progenitors so largely benefited. Nowhere would the humanitarian receive a more hearty welcome or a more earnest "God-speed" than in Liverpool. This change of opinion is surely owing to the intelligence and christian sympathy which is happily the characteristic of the times, and which recognizes as a principle the universal brotherhood of nations. No tradesmen have done more to bring about this desired consummation than the booksellers. There are trades and professions in which men may amass more money and create larger fortunes, as well as build up more pretentious names; but there is no trade in which a man with a serious purpose may spread around and leave behind him more durable blessings than the bookseller.

The history of the trade in Liverpool forms no exception to the " 'ups and downs" which characterize it in other towns. There, men have been industrious and successful; improvident, careless, and unfortunate. The general law which underlies all commercial transactions has not been changed to serve the Liverpool booksellers --they have reaped as they have sown.

Amongst the first commercial men that opened accounts with the trade in Liverpool was William Darton, who died a few years ago, at the age of seventy-six; and whose publications were chiefly juvenile and educational, of a strictly moral tendency; the business at the present time being carried on by his son-Mr. John Darton, one of the most spirited and useful publishers of the day, and who has had the good sense to leaven the children's books with fun-an article which his father strictly prohibited; also, Henry Mozley of Gainsborough, father of the Messrs. Mozley of Derby, and Wilson of York, who, like Mozley, was a banker, as well as publisher; and the renowned Benjamin Crosby, of Stationers' Hall Court (Simpkin and Marshall's predecessor), who was on the road' about sixty years ago. They could have told us many interesting matters relating to the trade in their day-of Mr. Richard Taylor, who was a bookseller with an excellent trade at one time in Paradise Street, but who died some twenty years ago without having realized anything in his business, and was succeeded by his brother, Mr. Thomas Taylor, who, more fortunate, realized property, which he left to his son at his death, when he removed to new premises in Church Street, and where he dealt in all the heavy new books; he subsequently sold his business, and soon after died.

They could have told us also of Freer, who had a shop thirty years ago in Paradise Street, who was a bookseller and stationer, and kept a circulating library. Heywood and Co., of the firm of Banks and Co., of Manchester, whose doings we specially chronicled in "Manchester Booksellers," supplied him with stock and then made themselves partners, drawing as many bills upon him as they desired, accepting the bills in the name of Freer and Co., rendering Freer liable, but of which bills he had

no further knowledge, nor did he receive any value. He was in fact a mere tool in the hands of Heywood. They could have told us something also of Mr. Joseph Pannell, who went from Horncastle in Lincolnshire, about thirty years ago, and opened a shop in Paradise Street, as a new and old bookseller, and who, after being in business about twenty years, died, and was succeeded by his son, by whom the business is still carried on; of Mr. William Grapel (the patronizing bookseller, as he was termed), who was in business in Church Street, for more than forty years, where he was largely patronized by the clergy. He retired from business about twelve years ago, and died a few months since. On his retirement from business he disposed of it to Mr. Joseph Deighton, son of the late Mr. J. J. Deighton of Cambridge, and Mr. Laughton who had been many years with him in Liverpool; but the career of Messrs. Deighton and Laughton was not of long duration, Deighton being at the present time in Australia. The successor of Deighton and Laughton is Mr. Adam Holden, who was apprenticed to the late William Strong of Bristol, and from him acquired a knowledge of books in which he is excelled by few. Holden came from Exeter, where he had succeeded Mr. Edward Jeanes, now of Norwich, and is doing a very respectable business, his shop being the resort of the clergy and the country families. The Crosbys could have told us also something of Mr. Edward Willan, bookseller, Bold Street, who was a very old bookseller, and who started business in a very moderate way. Willan was an Infidel in theory, but a Christian in practice; his politics being of the school denominated extreme Radical. He had in his day the best trade in Liverpool, which he ultimately relinquished to his son, who entered into partnership with Mr. Wood, the firm being carried on under the title of "Willan and Wood"; when Wood died Willan retired from the business, his father having left him sufficient property for his maintenance.

The

One of the principal booksellers in his day was Mr. Thomas Johnson, son of Mr. Samuel Johnson, publisher, of Manchester. He started business in 1829, taking a shop in Dale Street, at a rental of £50, thought at that time to be a large rent. small stock of books with which he was enabled to commence business, credited him by his father and the late Charles Daly, served only to fill the lower portion of the window. The end of the shop, which was a lock-up one, contained a bed and the little household furniture that supplied his needs. After he had been open a little while, the stock of Mr. Taylor, who had been one of Tegg's travellers, but who was at that time a bookseller in Paradise Street, was brought to the hammer; a London auctioneer, sent down by the creditors, officiated upon the occasion. The stock was disposed of in large lots, very suitable for the trade, but by no means to the advantage of the creditors. Johnson spent all his money very advantageously the first day, but on the next he could only look on as the sale progressed, with a more than ordinary perception of the inconvenience of being poor. One of the Liverpool merchants observing that he was not, as on the previous day, purchasing, inquired the cause; on learning that it was want of funds and not want of inclination, he kindly offered to pay for any purchases that he might make to the extent of £100 or £150. This gave his business the needed stimulus, which kept increasing year after At that time the chief source depended upon by booksellers for the renewal of their stocks was

year.

The the sale of books at private residences. principal buyers at these were Adam Clarke Baynes, Old Newton, Jack Myers, Copple, and John Gleave. "knockAt the close of each sale they had a out," a practice more profitable to the purchaser than to the owner; a practice which is most disreputable, although still carried on to some extent, but which, in the opinion of many lawyers, is illegal; it being, in their opinion, a conspiracy. But as it is only a conspiracy on the part of the booksellers to get books as cheap as they can, and not to defraud, a jury would scarcely convict them.

Another source from whence stock was derived by the Liverpool booksellers was the Dublin Pledge offices, where new bibles were found in immense quantities, to which they had been carried by the poor people immediately after they had been giveu to them by the agents of the Bible Society. Mr. Duffy, the present eminent publisher of Dublin, when he first started as a bookseller, was accustomed to take over to Liverpool sacks of Bibles which he exchanged for other books of a more "Orthodox" character and more suitable for the Dublin trade.

Amongst other 'on dits' remembered by Johnson, was young Nelson on his first journey, to whom he gave his first, and what the then rather raw Scotchman called "a braw order;" subsequently, after being a little while on the road, he was succeeded by Mr. Campbell who had left the joiner's bench to become a 'bagman,' and has since applied himself so steadily to his new and more congenial occupation, that he has become the chief assistant in Nelson's large business. One of Johnson's shopmen was old Ryley, well known at one time as an itinerating bookseller and auctioneer, and who employed as an errand-boy, Wise, who afterwards became Tegg's traveller and partner, and is at the present time living in retirement at Oxford. Ryley died in Johnson's service, having previously been unfortunate in business. Another person employed by Johnson was Thomas Hindley, who had been a market gardener; his new vocation was to visit the markets and fairs in different towns. Mr. Hindley at the present time is a substantial bookseller and stationer at Wavertree, near Liverpool. Johnson supplied many of the stall-keepers with light and cheap stock. One of this class of customers was Mr. John Farren, who kept a stall in Douglas Market, Isle of Man. He became so reduced, however, that the authorities had to send him to Ireland; he afterwards commenced business in Newcastle-on-Tyne with a stock of books that he His procould conveniently carry under his arm. gress from that time was rapid; he soon became the chief bookseller of the town, has since retired, and at the present time is living upon an ample

fortune.

After Johnson had been in business a few years, he issued a periodical catalogue extending to 300 pages. He also commenced publishing: his first venture being the collected works of Jacob Abbott ; he then printed the lectures on Revivals, and lectures to Professing Christians by Mr. Finney, of which books he sold 150,000 copies. Duplicates and remainders increasing, Johnson took a large shop under the Liver Theatre for Retail sale, as well as for the purpose of holding night auctions of books. He was his own auctioneer. How he comported himself, and how the business was conducted, we may learn from a graphic description of the sale and sale-room which appeared in one of the Liverpool newspapers :

NIGHT SALE OF CHEAP BOOKS.

BY A PHYSIOLOGIST.

"I was going the other night to pay a half-price visit to the Liver Theatre, when Jim, the vocal bellman of the night auctioneer in Church-street, induced me to pop into the first

instead of the second story-performance all over the houseimaginary drama and farce at the top-real ones at the bottom; and for a spectator who has anything else open but his eyes and his mouth, a funny gray-capped auctioneer, joking coldly, whilst he hammers down for a waste-paper price the gilded, golden words of the princes of English intellect, truly there was comedy and tragedy enough.

"The narrow oblong room was chiefly peopled by honestlooking mechanics-few silk handkerchiefs-little chance for light-fingered professors; but altogether an extra-decent saleroom company. Five performers in all-the auctioneer monopolizing the characters of manager and clown, his hair hanging down à la Lorenzo de Medicis, caricaturing the lecturer's glass of water with a steaming rummer of punch. Next on the stage (for there was a regular stage, green curtains, &c., as any one of you might see to-night) was sitting a pale-faced cash-receiver,-I dare say not keeper,an automaton personage, filling the part of what the French call grande utilité. An active little fustian-jacketed boy, stationed in the centre, at the foot of the curtain, was watching like a hawk the last bidders of the circular crowd, to carry to the collector the brass price knocked down-brass indeed, for very few volumes reached the shilling. The fourth was a tall, impassable showman, walking to and from the curtain to the spectators, holding above his head the book put up for sale, and looking as grave as a beadle with a teetotaller's face-if there be such a thing as an abstinent beadle in rerum natura. The fifth, an elderly little man, like the goat of Israel, is saddled with all the hardships of the concern; in wind and rain, up and down, like a living pendulum, he walks in front of the shop door, recruiting at the top of his lungs new customers for his employer, who appears to be more liberal with him in jests than in wages, for the poor devil looks a deal worse off than those importunate beggars usually kept by swindling salesmen to entrap tartars and country clowns. Besides, old Jimmy's sight is rather problematical, like that of the mole, keeping the lids closed as do our modern saints; and, to complete the portrait, we must add that he is sadly defective in his vehiculary extremi ties, partly from his habit of wearing sleepers in his day-light perambulatious, when armed with a wooden banner to adver tise. duty free, the tricks of the Great Wizard of the North,' the politics of the Rev. H. M'Neile, or the pills of some famous quack who wages war to the knife with death for the good of his fellow-creatures, and-to find himself a living.

"A miniature Bible was selling as I entered the room, and several copies of the same were readily disposed of, when the auctioneer tried a book on the excellency of the Church of England, by some fat divine whose reverend face was exhibited in the title-page,-his name you don't care for, nor do I: the thing met with but a silent sympathy, and went back to the shelf. The life of Wellington followed: a voice asked if there was anything about the Paisley deputation in it? No answer of course was made to such a seditious query, and retro to the parson's book went the hero of a hundred fights. A cookery volume was announced: 'Have you nothing there about getting cheap bread or cheap beef?' said a serious-looking young man-what's the use of a cookery book where there is nothing to cook? The querist's worde were anathematic-no bidders-all faces looked sadly struck --and to Wellington and the parson was hurried the professor of cookery, perhaps some Ude, to fame unknown.' ceiling was shaking under the plaudits of the performance above-there the expression of illusion-here of truth. A little dramatic poem, called Wat Tyler, attracted my attention. At my desire, mister showman let me have a peep into it. I read: 'Long, long labour, little rest, Still to toil, to be oppress'd; Drain'd by taxes of his store, Punish'd next for being poor! This is the poor wretch's lot,

The

Born within the straw-roof'd cot.' Some Radical corn-law repealer, thought I; when, bless me! Bob Southey was the rhymster's name, 1794. Beg pardon," said I, the sinner has repented since court gold has bedevilled him into a laureate.' Several selections of sernions, preachers' guides, and other clerical lectures for the church succeeded, almost unnoticed. Since Methodists and Dissenters have taught some Churchmen to make their own speeches, the ready-made sermon business must be on the decline. These and other productions of such and such a D.D., though highly seasoned with the auctioneer's commentaries, did not se m to suit the taste of the bystanders, who preferred to them invariably the Old and New Testaments. So much for the good sense of the plain folks in attendance. Standard classicals, and some works upon arts and sciences, were par chased by lads, apparently mechanic apprentices. A jolly sailor bought a volume of songs. 'I cannot read,' said he, 'but I am fond of singing. An old bachelor got the Woman's Companion, taking it to be the Young Man's Companion; and, finding out his mistake, he most piteously entreated the auctioneer to take the unlucky book back. This incident created such merriment, that our roars of laughter must have been heard in the upper house, for just then a change came o'er the audience up stairs-all was silent as the grave, and Jim, with his broken, yawning voice, was crying out, 'This is the cheap book sale.''
