The late Mr. Nutt, the Eminent Bookseller,

Mr. Nutt was educated at Merchant Taylors'
School, which, however, he left at an early age, on
a vacancy occurring in the counting-house of a
large mercantile firm in the City. Here he re-
mained for several years, working his way up front
junior clerk to a position of much responsibility,
during which time he acquired those business habits
which secured his success in after life, when h°
embarked in the bookselling trade on his own ac-
count. Mr. Moberly, the senior partner of the firm,
introduced Mr. Nutt to the late Mr. Asher, the emi-
nent bibliographer, and founder of the house of
Asher and Co., of Berlin, who had just found it
requisite to quit St. Petersburg for political

reasons, and who, having a large stock of valuable
books, required an agent in London for its disposal.
At first Mr. :Nutt occupied only his spare time,
chiefly of an evening, in distributing catalogues end
attending to orders received; and during that
period many works of great rarity passed through.

however, it became necessary that he should either
give up his clerkship
or
his

Mr. Moberly would not allow him to hesitole
which to select; and to the advice of that gentle''
man on that occasion Mr. Nutt alwat"h:
