Thomas Hookham
Thomas Hookham (ca.1739-1819)[1] was a bookseller and publisher in London in the 18th-19th centuries. He issued works by Charlotte de Bournon, John Hassell, Pierre-Jean-Baptiste Nougaret, Anne Radcliffe,[1] Clara Reeve, and others. As part of his business he ran a circulating library,[2][3] established in 1764 and by the 1800s one of "the two largest in London."[4][nb 1] The library continued on Bond Street until it was acquired by Mudie's ca.1871.[7][8] In addition, about 1794 he opened the Literary Assembly subscription reading rooms stocked with periodicals and reference books.[1]
His sons, Thomas Hookham, Jr. (1787-1867) and Edward T. Hookham also worked as publishers and booksellers in London.[9] A third generation, Thomas Hookham and Henry Hookham, continued in the business into the mid 19th century.[10]
