The matter of copyright (piracy) among the London and Dublin booksellers is a significant point of view for the book history in the eighteenth-century Britain. This study features the publication history of Samuel Richardson's novel Sir Charles Grandison (1754) by focusing on the relationship between the author and the bookseller (publisher). When Richardson, author and printer, published his third novel, Sir Charles Grandison, he contractd with George Faulkner, the Dublin bookseller for the lrish printing rights. Faulkner was Richardson's business associate for some works Richardson wrote. But three Dublin printers and one bookseller had posted their intentions to publish an edition of Sir Charles Grandison, and soon they published the pirated editions that precede the London edition. Richardson's printed accusations in pamphlet, The Case of Samuel Richardson; (1753) and An Address to the Public (1754) were handed out gratis to Londoners. The publishing industry became so diverse, complex and dispersed in the middle of the century, the desire to protect the most valuable asset against the pirated edition by Dublin booksellers became important.
