Британский издатель (1784–1855)
British publisher (1784–1855)
Генри Колберн (1784 – 16 августа 1855) был британским издателем.
Henry Colburn (1784 – 16 August 1855) was a British publisher.
Жизнь
Практически ничего не известно о происхождении Генри Колберна и его ранней жизни, и год его рождения остается неопределенным. Он был хорошо образован, свободно владел французским языком и в молодом возрасте обладал достаточным капиталом для начала издательского дела, что подтверждает гипотезу Майкла Сэдлера о том, что он мог быть внебрачным сыном англичанина от французской матери. Впервые он упоминается как ученик-печатник, заключивший шестилетний контракт с Уильямом Эрлом, книготорговцем на Альбемарл-стрит в Лондоне, 1 июня 1800 года на сумму 1000 фунтов стерлингов. Книжный магазин Эрла представлял собой устоявшуюся библиотеку английской и иностранной литературы. В 1806 году Колберн приобрел циркулирующую библиотеку Моргана на Кондуит-стрит, откуда он начал издавать свои первые книги, в частности, произведения популярных легких романистов, переведенные с французского и немецкого языков. Большинство французских романов публиковались на языке оригинала в издательстве Chez Colburn, а затем переиздавались в переводе. Некоторые из них были нехудожественными, как видно из таблицы.
Virtually nothing is known about Henry Colburn's parentage or early life, and there is uncertainty over his year of birth. He was well educated and fluent in French and had the financial capital at a young age to enter publishing, giving credence to the hypothesis of Michael Sadleir that he may have been the illegitimate son of an Englishman by a French mother. He is first documented as an apprentice printer indentured for six years to William Earle, a bookseller in Albemarle Street, London, on 1 June 1800 for the sum of £1,000. Earle's was an established English and foreign language library. In 1806, Colburn acquired Morgan's circulating library based in Conduit Street, from where he published his first books, notably works by popular light novelists translated from French and German. Most of the French novels were published in the original language by Chez Colburn and then reissued in translation. A few were non fiction, as can be seen in the table.

He had an early coup in publishing Lady Caroline Lamb's roman à clef (and succès de scandale) novel Glenarvon (1816), which went through four editions and sold very well. Lady Morgan's France (1817) was another of his earliest successful ventures. A furious attack in the Quarterly Review (April 1817) did more good than harm to the book. Glenarvon was a harbinger of Colburn's later great innovation, the so called "silver fork novel", a kind of fashionable novel which gave readers the thrill of peering into the lifestyles of rich and aristocratic families. In 1827 he published one of the first science fiction novels, The Mummy! A Tale of the Twenty Second Century written by Jane Webb (later known as Jane C. Loudon). At the beginning of 1824 his publishing interests were separated from the library and established in New Burlington Street. In 1830 Colburn took his printer, Richard Bentley into a partnership, which was dissolved in August 1832. Having first set up business again at Windsor for a short time, Colburn paid a forfeiture for breaking the covenant not to commence publishing within twenty miles of London, and opened a house in Great Marlborough Street. He finally retired from business in favour of Messrs. Hurst & Blackett, but kept his name attached to a few books. These included Elliot Warburton's Crescent and the Cross, the Diaries of Evelyn and Pepys, Agnes Strickland's Lives and Burke's Peerage. Their copyrights went to auction at Southgate & Barrett on 26 May 1857, and produced about £14,000. Colburn amassed a considerable fortune, his property being sworn as under £35,000.

Ранним успехом Колберна стало издание романа-ключ леди Каролины Ламб "Гленарвон" (1816), который выдержал четыре издания и пользовался большим спросом. "Франция" леди Морган (1817) также была одним из его первых успешных проектов. Острая критика в "Квартальном обозрении" (апрель 1817 года) принесла книге больше пользы, чем вреда. "Гленарвон" стал предвестником более поздней важной инновации Колберна, так называемого "романа с серебряной вилкой" – своеобразного модного романа, который давал читателям возможность заглянуть в жизнь богатых и аристократических семей. В 1827 году он опубликовал один из первых романов в жанре научной фантастики – "Мумию! Рассказ двадцать второго века" Джейн Уэбб (позже известной как Джейн К. Лаудон). В начале 1824 года его издательские интересы были отделены от библиотеки и перенесены на Нью-Бёрлингтон-стрит. В 1830 году Колберн взял в партнерство своего печатника Ричарда Бентли, но в августе 1832 года партнерство было распущено. После непродолжительной работы в Виндзоре Колберн выплатил штраф за нарушение соглашения о неведении издательской деятельности в пределах двадцати миль от Лондона и открыл дом на Грейт-Марлборо-стрит. В конце концов он вышел из бизнеса, передав его господам Хёрст и Блэкетт, но сохранил свое имя на нескольких книгах, включая "Полумесяц и крест" Эллиота Уорбертона, "Дневники Эвелин и Пеписа", "Жизнь Агнес Стрикленд" и "Пэрство Берка". Авторские права на эти произведения были выставлены на аукцион в Southgate & Barrett 26 мая 1857 года и принесли около 14 000 фунтов стерлингов. Колберн накопил значительное состояние, его имущество оценивалось менее чем в 35 000 фунтов стерлингов.

Периодические издания
При поддержке Фредерика Шоберла Колберн начал в 1814 году издание New Monthly Magazine и Universal Register, конкурирующего со старым Monthly Magazine сэра Ричарда Филлипса. Среди ранних редакторов были Джон Уоткинс и Аларик Александр Уоттс. Новая серия началась в 1820 году под руководством Томаса Кэмпбелла. Редакторами последовательно были Балуэр Литон (1832), Теодор Хук и Харрисон Эйнсворт (3-я серия, 1836). Журнал выходил до 1875 года. 25 января 1817 года Колберн выпустил первый номер «Литературной газеты» по цене один шиллинг. Это была первая еженедельная газета, посвященная литературе, науке и искусству, которая завоевала репутацию и авторитет. Первоначально Ганнибал Эванс Ллойд и Томассина Росс, ранее работавшая с Ллойдом, были совместными редакторами. Отдел изобразительных искусств находился под руководством Уильяма Полета Кэри. После двадцать шестого номера (19 июля 1817 года) Уильям Джердан приобрел треть доли в издании и стал единственным редактором. Компания Лонгмана также приобрела треть, и периодическое издание быстро добилось успеха. В 1842 году Уильям Джердан стал единоличным владельцем. Газета была объединена с «Парфеноном» в 1862 году. 31 декабря 1827 года Колберн написал Джердану, что присоединился к новому литературному журналу «Афинеум» «вследствие несправедливости, причиненной моим авторам в целом» газетой. В 1828 году он основал «Судебный журнал»; в следующем году он выпустил журнал «Объединенная служба» и «Морской и военный журнал», а также проявлял некоторый интерес к «Санди Таймс». Биография Дэвида Лестера Ричардсона рассказывает об истории создания «Судебного журнала» Колберна. Ричардсон основал London Weekly Review в 1827 году, но был вынужден отказаться от него в 1828 году; он заключил соглашение, по которому Колберн возьмет на себя контроль над журналом в обмен на долю Ричардсона в прибыли от продаж London Weekly Review. Колберн находчиво переименовал издание в «Судебный журнал», и ожидаемая награда Ричардсона не состоялась.
With the support of Frederic Shoberl, Colburn started in 1814 New Monthly Magazine, and Universal Register, a rival to the old Monthly Magazine of Sir Richard Phillips. John Watkins and Alaric Alexander Watts were among the early editors. A new series began in 1820 under the care of Thomas Campbell. Bulwer Lytton (1832), Theodore Hook, and Harrison Ainsworth (3rd ser., 1836) successively were editors. The magazine lasted to 1875. On 25 January 1817, Colburn brought out the first number of the Literary Gazette, priced at one shilling. It was the earliest weekly newspaper devoted to literature, science, and the arts which obtained reputation and authority. Initially Hannibal Evans Lloyd, and Thomasina Ross who had worked with Lloyd before, appear to have been joint editors. The department of fine arts was under the care of William Paulet Carey. After the twenty sixth number (19 July 1817) William Jerdan purchased a third share of the property and became sole editor. Messrs. Longman also purchased a third, and the periodical was rapidly successful. In 1842, William Jerdan became sole proprietor. The Gazette was incorporated with the Parthenon in 1862. On 31 December 1827, Colburn wrote to Jerdan that he had joined the new literary journal, the Athenaeum, "in consequence of the injustice done to my authors generally" by the Gazette. In 1828, he founded the Court Journal; in the following year he brought out the United Service Magazine and Naval and Military Journal; and he had some interest in the Sunday Times. A biography of David Lester Richardson recounts the background to Colburn's Court Journal. Richardson established the London Weekly Review in 1827, but was compelled to give it up in 1828; he entered into an agreement under which Colburn would assume control of the journal in return for Richardson receiving a share in the profits of sales of the London Weekly Review. Colburn ingeniously renamed the publication as the Court Journal, and Richardson's anticipated rewards evaporated.
