Newsletter of the Friends of Hugh Miller %P 23 %U https://www.nms.ac.uk/collections-research/collections-departments/natural-sciences/collections/palaeobiology/ %X I am researching Hugh Miller’s unusual publishing arrangements, including the frequency with which his firm, Miller & Fairly, printed his books for their Edinburgh publishers before and after his death. The obvious exception is Peter Bayne’s family-approved The Life and Letters of Hugh Miller (1871), printed in London for Strahan & Co., the London publishing business of Alexander Strahan. So I did some digging in that book, and in Patricia Srebrnik’s 1986 biography Alexander Strahan: Victorian Publisher, and elsewhere. %[ 2024-03-29 %9 Journal article %~ Hyku %W National Museums Scotland
