Mapmaker:
William Collins (1789-1853)
William Collin a Scottish Presbyterian
schoolmaster founded the firm of William Collins, in Glasgow in 1819, in
partnership with Charles Chalmers, the younger brother of Thomas
Chalmers. The company had to overcome many early obstacles, and Charles
Chalmers left the business in 1825. The company was renamed William
Collins, Sons and Co Ltd. in 1868. Although the early emphasis of the
company had been on religion and education, Collins published more
widely.
