GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES. GEORGE SMITH (1789-1846), British publisher, founder of the firm of Smith, Elder & Co., was born in Scotland in 1789. From Elgin, where he was apprenticed to a bookseller, he migrated to London, where he found employment first with Rivingtons, and afterwards with John Murray.
Born in 1789 to a small landowner and farmer in Morayshire, in the North-East of Scotland, who died young, leaving his family ill provided for, George Smith served an apprenticeship with a bookseller in Elgin, the county capital, before taking the high road south to London.
