Charles Knight
Also known as
"KNIGHT, CHARLES (1791–1873), author and publisher, son of Charles Knight, bookseller of Windsor, was born in 1791. The elder Knight, a man of cultivation and public spirit, published the ‘Microcosm,’ written by George Canning, Robert Smith, John Frere, and other Eton boys in 1786 and 1787, and its successor, the ‘Miniature,’ edited by Stratford Canning sixteen years later. The father also spent much time on local affairs." …. "Knight's position as author, editor, and publisher makes it difficult to ascertain exactly how much is due to him in the first capacity. The following, however, seem undoubted, besides articles and pamphlets: 1. ‘The Menageries,’ 1828. 2. ‘The Elephant,’ 1830. 3. ‘Results of Machinery,’ 1831. 4. ‘Capital and Labour,’ 1831. 5. ‘Trades Unions and Strikes,’ 1834. 6. ‘Shakespere's Biography,’ 1843. 7. ‘William Caxton,’ 1844. 8. ‘Old England’ (first book and part of second), about 1844. 9. ‘Studies of Shakespere,’ 1849. 10. ‘The Struggles of a Book against Excessive Taxation,’ 1850. 11. ‘Once upon a Time,’ 1854. 12. ‘The Old Printer and Modern Press,’ 1854. 13. ‘Knowledge is Power,’ 1855. 14. ‘Popular History of England,’ 1856–1862. 15. ‘Passages of a Working Life,’ 1864–5. 16. ‘Begged at Court,’ 1867. 17. ‘Shadows of the Old Booksellers,’ 1867." —Dictionary of National Biograpy [https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Dictionary_of_National_Biography,_1885-1900/Knight,_Charles_(1791-1873)]
