Description
-
'The Two Shoemakers' is a moral tale by writer and educator Hannah More, published as part of her Cheap Repository series—an initiative of inexpensive publications aimed at the literate poor, offering an alternative to radical, seditious, and immoral cheap print. The pamphlet was written by More herself and printed by the series’ first printer, Samuel Hazard, based in Bath. It was distributed by Hazard and John Marshall in London, as well as by “all booksellers, newsmen, and hawkers, in town and country.” The initial run of the series, printed by Hazard in 1795, sold hundreds of thousands of copies. To meet growing demand, printing was soon moved to Marshall’s larger operation.
