The Young and Woodward Business Papers contain letters and documents relating to the printing, publishing, and bookselling efforts of both William Young, and William W. Woodward, to whom Young sold his business in 1802. Included are letters from authors, publishers, and other booksellers., On deposit at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, 1300 Locust Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107. For service, please contact the Historical Society at 215-732-6200 or http://www.hsp.org., William Young (1755-1829), a bookseller, printer, and publisher, was born in Scotland. He arrived in Philadelphia in June 1784 and opened a book store and print shop on Chestnut Street. Young sold his retail and publishing operations to William W. Woodward in 1802, and moved to Delaware, where he opened a paper mill., William Wallis Woodward (1769?-1837) was listed as a bookseller in the Philadelphia city directories from 1794 through the 1830s. In the 1802 directory his description expanded to “printer, bookseller & stationer,” the result of his having purchased Young's business; he remained in the directories with that description for twenty years. Woodward's main focus was religious books, and he was one of the first American publishers known to have marketed them using a network of clergymen as sales agents.
