Biographical Text
Byron writes to in 1810-07-19. Mentioned by Byron in 1810-10-04. "The bookseller William Miller (1769-1844) of
50 Albemarle Street, had told Byron of his willingness to publish Journey through Albania see B to H, 23 July 1811." see BB-84n.
ODNB: Perhaps his most unfortunate decision was to reject Byron's Childe Harold's Pilgrimage in 1810. John Murray II published it instead in 1811 and by 1812 had also acquired Miller's premises, copyrights and business for the considerable sum of 3822 12s. 6d.
