John Bell (publisher)
John Bell (1745–1831) was an English publisher. Originally a bookseller and printer, he also innovated in typography, commissioning an influential typeface that omitted the long s. He drew the reading public to better literature by ordering attractive art to accompany the printed work. Life From 1769, Bell owned a bookshop in the Strand, London, the "British Library". His 109-volume, literature-for-the-masses '' The Poets of Great Britain Complete from Chaucer to Churchill'', which rivalled Samuel Johnson's '' Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets'' (1781), was published from 1777 to 1783.
