George Smith (publisher, born 1824)
British newspaper publisher / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Murray Smith (19 March 1824 – 6 April 1901)[1] was a British publisher. He was the son of George Smith (1789–1846), who, with Alexander Elder (1790–1876), started the Victorian publishing firm of Smith, Elder & Co. in 1816. His brainchild, The Cornhill Magazine, was the premier fiction-carrying magazine of the 19th century.[2]
