BERNARD ALEXANDER CHRISTIAN QUARITCH
1819-1899
Bernard Quaritch later recalled saying to his employer
“Mr Bohn, you are the first bookseller in England, I mean to become the first bookseller in Europe’.
Bohn’s answer is not recorded, but Mrs Bohn, already impressed by Quaritch’s diligence, replied “I believe you will’.
She was to be proved right. With modest capital,
Quaritch set up on his own in October 1847. The same month he issued a catalogue, the first of a series that now numbers over fourteen hundred.
