MLT Note: D.N.B. - "from 1796 to 1806 he tried with indifferent success to increase his income as a bookseller. He was in partnership first with John Teulon; then in 1798, for a short time with Nathaniel Scarlett, whom he left because Scarlett published "The British Theatre"; he carried on business by himself in the Strand and (from 1804) in Holborn." ---
