Abstract
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 excep tion 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.
