John Wilson, Hume's first printer
No full textTHE first two volumes of David Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature were published (anonymously) in January of 1739, by John Noon. The third and final volume was published (again anonymously) near the end of October, 1740, by Thomas Longman. None of the volumes includes the name of the printer, but, despite the fact that the work was issued over a period of nearly two years, and by two different booksellers, the three volumes are sufficiently alike in appearance to suggest that they were the work of a single printer, a fact first noted, I believe, by J. M. Keynes and P. Sraffa; 'Though the publisher [of the third volume] was different, nevertheless the printer was clearly the same, as is shown by the identity of the ornaments.

Wilson, J. Havelock (1858-1929)
No full textWilson, J. Havelock (1858-1929), trade unionist and politician. Joseph Havelock Wilson was born in Sunderland on August 16, 1858, to John Blenkin Wilson, a foreman draper, and Hannah Wilson. His father died when he was three; his mother supported him and his five siblings by opening a greengrocery and later a small boardinghouse. At age six Wilson sold newspapers; after three years at the Boys' British School in Sunderland, he became an errand boy at age nine. When he was thirteen he was apprenticed to a lithographic printer, but he ran away to sea after a few months.
