Administrative Information 

 

Title: Records of Cadell & Davies, 1697-1858. 

 

The collection was acquired in two major acquisitions: the original part of the collection, seven 
bound volumes, was purchased from Forest H. Sweet, Dec. 18, 1934. This acquisition consisted 
of the correspondence of Cadell & Davies, mounted in five volumes; the remaining two volumes 
contained mounted letters and were entitled, “Autograph Correspondence of Literary Men.” All 
of this material was removed and cataloged in 1938. 

 

The second acquisition was purchased, through Maggs Bros., from Sotheby’s (London) auction, 
Dec. 17, 2008 (Lot #3). This lot included approximately 100 letters, accounts and receipts, 
mostly addressed to Cadell & Davies (Acq. #2554). 

 

Name of Creator: Cadell & Davies. Cataloged by Gayle M. Richardson, August 20, 2009. 

 

The collection has been fully processed and is available for research. The majority of the 
collection is in good condition and able to be copied; for any questions about the papers, 
including specific reproduction requests, please contact the Curator of Literary Manuscripts,

Cataloging Decisions 

 

1. With the acquisition of a new group of Cadell & Davies material, it was decided to recatalog 
the entire collection, incorporating the new material and the original Cadell & Davies Collection, 
into the Records of Cadell & Davies. 

 

Also, rather than splitting the collection into chronological and alphabetical sections, as it was 
originally organized, it was decided to catalog the entire collection alphabetically. The material 
originally bound in the volumes entitled, “Autograph Correspondence of Literary Men,” is now 
noted on the folders as “Removed from Autograph Correspondence Volumes.” The material 

 
purchased in the Sotheby’s sale is noted: “Sotheby’s London, Dec. 15, 2008, Lot #3.” All other 
folders contain material from the original Cadell & Davies correspondence volumes purchased in 
1934, with no notation on the front of the folders. 

 

2. In the recataloging of the collection, the original blue folders were discarded and new buff 
folders were used; the collection has been renumbered with new “CD” call numbers and all the 
names have been cataloged using the current standard authorized forms. 

 

3. At some point, before the letters were obtained by the Huntington Library, the red wax seals 
were cut out of many of the letters; in many cases, this caused loss of text. This loss is noted on 
the front of the folders only if there was significant loss of text. 

 

4. The entire collection deals with authors, publishers and publishing; it was decided, as these 
subjects were so pervasive, these would not be noted as subjects on the individual folders. 

 

5. Many of the letters addressed to Cadell & Davies are followed by autograph draft replies or 
autograph notes, these replies and notes are noted on the front of the folders and in the Finding 
Aid. Similarly, many of the letters are addressed to “Cadell & Davies” but written to either 
Thomas Cadell or William Davies. These letters were cataloged with Cadell & Davies as the 
addressee but either Thomas Cadell or William Davies were noted as Added Entries on the 
folders and in the Finding Aid. 

 

Historical Note 

 

In 1767, upon the retirement of Andrew Miller, Thomas Cadell, 1742-1802, succeeded to the 
bookselling and publishing business. Cadell became one of the foremost publishers of his time 
before his retirement in 1793. At this time he made over the business to his son, Thomas Cadell, 
1773-1836, and his apprentice and assistant, William Davies, d. 1820; Cadell and Davies ran the 
business together until Davies’ death, and Cadell carried on until his own death in 1836. 
Beginning with Andrew Miller, and continuing with Cadell & Davies this publishing house was 
associated with William Blackstone, Henry Fielding, Edward Gibbon, David Hume, Samuel 
Johnson and Hannah More and many other authors of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. 

 

Scope and Content Note 

 

The papers consist of the following series: 

 

1. Manuscripts (Box 1) are arranged alphabetically by author and title. The manuscripts include 
legal opinions and statements concerning various aspects of publishing including copyright, 
literary property and pirated editions of published works. This series includes manuscripts by 
Cadell & Davies, Sir Ilay Campbell, Charles Dunster, and John Home. 

 

2. Correspondence (Boxes 1-10) is arranged alphabetically by author. This series consists of 
business correspondence and records. There is a small number of personal letters and these tend 
to be from the Autograph Volumes. 

 

 
There is one box of Cadell & Davies correspondence with their various authors, suppliers and 
printers; most of these letters are draft copies, though some are signed. This series also includes 
letters by James Stanier Clarke, William Dickinson, Nathan Drake, William Gilpin, William Parr 
Greswell, John Home, Daniel Lysons, John Marsh, Edward Nares, William Pengree Sherlock, 
and Sharon Turner. 

 

3. Records (Box 11) are arranged alphabetically by author or company. This series includes 
accounts, bills, estimates, receipts, orders to pay and promissory notes. Many of the records deal 
with the authors, printers, and engravers and publication details of the works mentioned in 
Manuscripts and Correspondence. 

 

Note to Readers and Strengths of the collection: 

 

A note about the material in this collection. The majority of the correspondence is addressed to 
or concerning Cadell & Davies. While the firm did publish the likes of Blackstone, Fielding and 
Johnson, unfortunately, the correspondents in this collection would be considered “lesser literary 
lights of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.” As noted by the original cataloger in 1938, L. 
Herman Smith, “the most important writers” have been “skimmed” from the correspondence at 
some point in the past. 

 

The material from the two volumes of “Autograph Correspondence of Literary Men” was 
acquired by the same person who collected the Cadell & Davies correspondence. These 
“Autograph” letters are written by “minor literary figures” of the period and are addressed to 
“booksellers and antiquarians of the period,” which appear to have been the reason for collecting 
these letters. 

 

As noted by Smith in 1938, the mysterious person who formed the original Cadell & Davies 
collection remains unidentified, and only the initials “J.W.” appear on an autograph note in one 
of the volumes. The collector was in the habit of writing explanatory notes in pencil, below 
many of the letters; though it is best to verify the explanatory notes as some of the information 
has proven to be incorrect. 

 

Though the collection lacks the more well-known authors published by Cadell & Davies, it is a 
very useful collection for those researchers studying the world of British publishing in the late 
18th and early 19th centuries. But, most importantly, it is also a very rich resource for studying 
the relationship between an author and a publisher, engraver, or printer.
