Geschiedenis
John Chapman was born in Ruddington, near Nottingham, in 1821. He became an apprentice watchmaker, and attended the local Pestalozzian Institute where he heard lectures advocating political reform. In 1842 he studied medicine in Paris and practised as a surgeon, before purchasing a London publishing business in 1844. In 1857 he qualified as a physician and practised medicine alongside his publishing and literary work. He was the owner and editor of the Westminster Review (1851-1860).
