Sir Richard Phillips

Sir Richard Phillips (13 December 1767 – 2 April 1840) was an English schoolteacher, author and publisher.
==Life==
Phillips was born in London. Following some political difficulties in Leicester where he was a schoolteacher and bookseller, he returned to London, established premises in Paternoster Row, St. Paul's Churchyard, and founded ''The Monthly Magazine'' in 1796; its editor was Dr. John Aikin, and among its early contributors were fellow radicals William Godwin and Thomas Holcroft.〔Rees and Britten, p. 79f.〕 He built up a prominent fortune based on the speculative commission of newly revised textbooks and their publication, in a competitive market that had been freed by the House of Lords' decision in 1777 to strike down the perpetual copyright asserted by a small group of London booksellers to standard introductory works.〔Marina Frasca-Spada and Nicholas Jardine, ''Books and the Sciences in History'' (Cambridge University Press, 2000) "A Textbook revolution", p. 319.〕 His ''Juvenile Library'' published in 1800–03 provided the steady returns of all successful children's books.〔A Rauch, "Preparing “The rising generation”: Romanticism and Richard Phillips's Juvenile library 1800–1803" ''Nineteenth-Century Contexts'', 1991.〕 By 1807 he was in sufficient standing to serve as a Sheriff of London, at which time he was knighted on the occasion of presenting an address.〔He published his ''Letter to the Livery of London, on the Office of Sheriff'' in 1808.〕
Phillips overextended himself and was declared bankrupt in the Bank Panic. He died in Brighton and is buried in the western extension of St Nicholas' Churchyard. He was a vegetarian.〔(International Vegetarian Union: Sir Richard Phillips )〕
