1836
on the death of william hall (of chapman & hall) in march 1847 frederic chapman began his progress in the company, becoming a partner in 1858. on 24 december 1858 "the bookseller" announced that "the firm of messrs. chapman & hall has been strengthened by the admission of mr. frederic chapman who has for some years taken an active part in the management." the author of "charles dickens and his publishers" (1978) wrote of him: "frederic chapman rose to the status of partner. the firm enjoyed some good years. the expansion of railways, circulating libraries, and middle-class leisure improved book sales; dickens's full-scale return to chapman and hall in 1859 afforded frederic an opportunity to issue a new dickens periodical, "all the year round", and new serial fictions, and to reissue in new formats older titles and multiple collected editions - all of which eventually turned a profit." with charles dickens his relations were long and very close. dickens's connection with chapman & hall began in 1836, when william hall made to dickens the suggestion which ultimately led to the publication of "the pickwick papers". the firm subsequently published "nicholas nickleby", "master humphrey's clock", "barnaby rudge", "the old curiosity shop", "martin chuzzlewit", and "a christmas carol"; but in 1844 dickens quarrelled with the firm, and entered into relations with bradbury & evans. in 1859, however, dickens renewed his connection with chapman & hall, who issued the remainder of his books. in 1845 chapman & hall published the second edition of thomas carlyle's "life of schiller", and soon after 1880, when the business was turned into a company, it purchased the copyright of carlyle's works.
