Sampson Low of London

The linked title pages from 1869 and 1878 reveal a continuing relationship with the S(ampson) Low publishers of London, here abbreviated "S. Low". See publisher Sampson Low, Son, & Co. as a point of entry. Note that years 1869 and 1878 are "too late" for "S. Low", according to one of our sources, with support from publication records of books published by Low alone or primarily; those two years are within the timespans of successors Sampson Low, Son & Marston and Sampson Low, Marston, Low, and Searle.

Note on sources

As of the 2019-03-06 creation and early updates of this page, the database contains Title records all of the works, not identified here, that are represented here as sources (e.g., by view of the title leaf of a book at HathiTrust Digital Library). It does not yet contain every edition or printing that is represented here as a source.
