Biographical history
The company was set up to trade in Canada as a limited liability company in 1912. Until the 1950s it concentrated on selling English legal textbooks rather than publishing Canadian law books. In 1927 Stanley Shaw Bond changed the name of Butterworth and Company (Canada) to Butterworth and Company (Publishers) and therefore the Canadian company took over Bond's personal business.
For some years Butterworth and Company (Publishers) continued to operate in Canada and kept separate accounts relating to the Canadian business. In 1931 a company was incorporated in Ontario to take over the Canadian operation.
