     Henry Colburn & Richard Bentley:

Henry Colburn (1784 – 16 August 1855) was a British publisher.

Colburn began his career in the London shop of William Earle, a bookseller in Albemarle Street. He then worked as an assistant at Morgan's Library, a circulating library in Conduit Street. He took it over in 1816 and carried on the business until he resigned it to Messrs. Saunders & Otley, to concentrate on light literature. He started off with a coup in publishing Lady Caroline Lamb's roman à clef and (succès de scandale) novel Glenarvon (1816), which went through four editions and sold very well.[1] Lady Morgan's France (1817) was another of his earliest successful ventures. A furious attack in the Quarterly Review (April 1817) did more good than harm to the book. Glenarvon was a harbinger of Colburn's later great innovation, the so-called "Silver Fork Novel," a kind of Fashionable Novel which gave readers the thrill of peering into the lifestyles of rich and aristocratic families.

In 1830 Colburn took his printer, Richard Bentley into a partnership, which was the dissolved in August 1832. Having first set up business again at Windsor for a short time, Colburn paid a forfeiture for breaking the covenant not to commence publishing within twenty miles of London and opened a house in Great Marlborough Street. He finally retired from business in favour of Messrs. Hurst & Blackett, but kept his name attached to a few books. These were Elliot Warburton's Crescent and the Cross, the Diaries of Evelyn and Pepys, Agnes Strickland's Lives, Burke's Peerage and some more. Their copyrights went to auction at Southgate & Barrett on 26 May 1857 and produced about £14,000.

Colburn amassed a considerable fortune; his property being sworn as under £35,000.

Richard Bentley (24 October 1794 – 10 September 1871) was a 19th-century English publisher born into a publishing family.

He started a firm with his brother in 1819. Ten years later, he went into partnership with the publisher Henry Colburn. Although the business was often successful, publishing the famous "Standard Novels" series, they ended their partnership in acrimony three years later. Bentley continued alone profitably in the 1830s and early 1840s, establishing the well-known periodical Bentley's Miscellany. However, the periodical went into decline after its editor, Charles Dickens, left. Bentley's business started to falter after 1843 and he sold many of his copyrights. Only 15 years later did it begin to recover.

Henry Colburn (1784 - 16 août 1855) était un éditeur britannique.

Colburn a commencé sa carrière dans la boutique londonienne de William Earle, un libraire d'Albemarle Street. Il a ensuite travaillé comme assistant à la Morgan's Library, une bibliothèque itinérante de Conduit Street. Il en prit la direction en 1816 et continua l'entreprise jusqu'à ce qu'il la démissionne à MM. Saunders & Otley, pour se concentrer sur la littérature légère. Il a commencé par un coup d'État en publiant le roman à clef (et succès de scandale) de Lady Caroline Lamb, Glenarvon (1816), qui a connu quatre éditions et s'est très bien vendu.[1] La France de Lady Morgan (1817) est une autre de ses premières entreprises couronnées de succès. Une attaque furieuse dans la Quarterly Review (avril 1817) fit plus de bien que de mal au livre. Glenarvon était le signe avant-coureur de la grande innovation ultérieure de Colburn, le soi-disant « Silver Fork Novel », une sorte de roman à la mode qui donnait aux lecteurs le plaisir de scruter le mode de vie des familles riches et aristocratiques.

En 1830, Colburn a pris son imprimeur, Richard Bentley dans une société, qui a été dissoute en août 1832. Après avoir d'abord établi à nouveau des affaires à Windsor pendant une courte période, Colburn a payé une confiscation pour avoir rompu l'engagement de ne pas commencer à publier dans les vingt milles de Londres, et a ouvert une maison dans Great Marlborough Street. Il se retira finalement des affaires en faveur de MM. Hurst & Blackett, mais garda son nom attaché à quelques livres. Il s'agissait de Crescent and the Cross d'Elliot Warburton, les Diaries of Evelyn et Pepys, Agnes Strickland's Lives, Burke's Peerage et quelques autres. Leurs droits d'auteur ont été mis aux enchères à Southgate & Barrett le 26 mai 1857 et ont produit environ 14 000 £.

Colburn a amassé une fortune considérable, sa propriété étant assermentée à moins de 35 000 £.

Richard Bentley (24 octobre 1794 - 10 septembre 1871) était un éditeur anglais du XIXe siècle né dans une famille d'éditeurs. Il fonde une entreprise avec son frère en 1819. Dix ans plus tard, il s'associe à l'éditeur Henry Colburn. Bien que l'entreprise ait souvent été couronnée de succès, en publiant la célèbre série "Standard Novels", ils ont mis fin à leur partenariat dans l'acrimonie trois ans plus tard. Bentley a continué seul avec profit dans les années 1830 et au début des années 1840, créant le célèbre périodique Bentley's Miscellany. Cependant, le périodique a connu un déclin après le départ de son rédacteur en chef, Charles Dickens. Les affaires de Bentley ont commencé à faiblir après 1843 et il a vendu plusieurs de ses droits d'auteur. Ce n'est que 15 ans plus tard qu'il a commencé à se redresser.


Napoléon Bonaparte 15 August 1769 – 5 May 1821) was a French statesman and military leader who rose to prominence during the French Revolution and led several successful campaigns during the French Revolutionary Wars. He was Emperor of the French from 1804 until 1814 and again briefly in 1815 during the Hundred Days. Napoleon dominated European and global affairs for more than a decade while leading France against a series of coalitions in the Napoleonic Wars. He won most of these wars and the vast majority of his battles, building a large empire that ruled over continental Europe before its final collapse in 1815. He is considered one of the greatest commanders in history, and his wars and campaigns are studied at military schools worldwide. Napoleon's political and cultural legacy has endured as one of the most celebrated and controversial leaders in human history.
