Library — 1788
The instructor: or young man's best companion. Containing, spelling, reading, writing, and arithmetic, in an easier way than any yet published ...
In the 18th and early 19th centuries London was one of the world's largest printing and book publishing centres. London's booksellers clustered around St Paul's Churchyard and along Fleet Street.
As Londoners' wealth and leisure time increased, and opportunities for education grew, so too did their appetite for books, newspapers and magazines. Many guides were produced that aimed to improve reading, writing and arithmetic. Often they included other types of practical information in regards to life in general. Over seventy editions were produced of this immensely popular title.
