John Taylor (English Publisher) - Publications

Publications

  • Taylor, John. Junius Identified, Taylor and Hessey, two editions, ? and 1818.
  • Taylor, John. The great pyramid; why was it built: & who built it? Longman, Green, Longman, and Roberts, 1859 (London).
  • Taylor, John. The battle of the standards. The ancient, of four thousand years, against the modern, of the last fifty years--The less perfect of the two. Longman, Green, Longman, Roberts & Green, 1864 (London).

According to Bernard Lightman, these last two publications are strongly linked. He says: "Taylor and his disciples urged that the dimensions of the Pyramid showed the divine origin of the British units of length."

However, another interesting and significant connection is that his brother, James Taylor (1788–1863), banker of Bakewell in Derbyshire published a number of articles on bimetallism.
