BOHN, HENRY GEORGE (1796-1884)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 137 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BOHN, HENRY GEORGE (1796-1884) , British publisher, son of a German bookbinder settled in England, was born in London on the 4th of January 1796. In '831 he started as a dealer in rare books and " remainders." In 1841 he issued his "
Guinea
  " Catalogue of books, a monumental
work
  containing 23,208 items.
Bohn
  was noted for his book
auction
  sales: one held in '848 lasted four days, the catalogue comprising twenty folio pages. Printed on this catalogue was the information: " Dinner at 2 o'clock, dessert at 4, tea at 5, and supper at 'o." The name of
Bohn
  is principally remembered by the important Libraries which he inaugurated: these were begun in '846 and comprised editions of standard works and translations, dealing with history, science, classics, theology and archaeology, consisting in all of 766 volumes. One of Bohn's most useful and laborious undertakings was his revision (6 vols. '864) of The Bibliographer's
Manual
  of English Literature (1834) of W. T. Lowndes. The plan includes bibliographical and
critical
  notices, particulars of prices, &c., and a considerable addition to the
original
 
work
 . It had been one of Bohn's ambitions to found a
great
  publishing
house
 , but, finding that his sons had no taste for the trade, he sold the Libraries in '864 to Messrs. Bell and Daldy, afterwards G. Bell & Sons. Bohn was a man of wide culture and many interests. He himself made considerable contributions to his Libraries: he collected pictures, china and ivories, and was a famous rose-grower. He died at Twickenham on the 22nd of August '884.
