项目摘要

For the past three years I spent summer vacations in Oxford reading and collecting materials -related to my research. I also used the British Library and other places also attending several conferences. So far I have written essays on these topics.(1) The spread of newspapers, and magazines in reference to coffee houses.(2) Circulating libraries and the growth of reading public.(3) The provincial booktrade and book clubs.(4) The lower class reader and the chapbooks.(5) The birth of the book reviews.Related to these topics I am now interested in the distribution network of books published in 18th century. In my view (and this has been proved by a few distinguished scholars.) the newspaper owners and their agents played a considerably significant role in distributing not only newspapers (published weekly in the provinces) but also the books publislred in London. They had a close relation with London publishers and the books were carried by a small boat or a cart. On reaching the newspaper owners, books were displayed in their shops for the customers to browse or buy. To the customers living away from the city center, books were delivered by what is called newsboys usually by riding horses. Proper distributing network of published books were established in early 19th century when the publisher and bookseller began to be separated from each other claiming their own right. These studies will be published hereafter, the first installment of which has been already published and the second is forthcoming.

在过去的三年里，我利用暑假在牛津阅读和收集与我的研究相关的资料。我还使用了大英图书馆和其他地方，也参加了一些会议。到目前为止，我已经写了一些关于这些主题的文章。(1)与咖啡馆相关的报纸、杂志的传播。(2)流通图书馆与阅读大众的成长。(3)省级图书贸易和图书俱乐部。(4)下层读者和小册子。书评的诞生。与这些主题相关，我现在对18世纪出版的书籍的分销网络感兴趣。在我看来（这已经被一些杰出的学者证明了），报纸老板和他们的代理人不仅在报纸（在各省每周出版）的发行方面发挥了相当重要的作用，而且在伦敦出版的书籍也发挥了相当重要的作用。他们与伦敦的出版商有密切的关系，这些书是用小船或手推车运送的。一到报社老板那里，书就陈列在他们的店里，供顾客浏览或购买。对于住在远离市中心的顾客，书是由所谓的报童送的，通常是骑马送的。19世纪初，出版商和书商开始各自为政，形成了合理的出版图书流通网络。这些研究将在以后发表，其中第一部分已经发表，第二部分即将出版。
