DIVINITY Founded in Little Tower Street, City, in 1816. OLOCY ANTIQUITI ANY GEOLOCY THE HUNDRED YEARS' MIND OF THE FIRM. THE beginning of the year 1916 may perhaps be noted here as completing the first hundred years' existence of the Firm. It was in 1816 that MR. THOMAS SOTHERAN, having come up in 1812 from the city of York, where his forebears had already been booksellers in the Eighteenth Century, to become an assistant to the old Quaker booksellers JOHN and ARTHUR ARCH in Cornhill, set up for himself at No. 2, Little Tower Street, the then narrow thoroughfare which led from Eastcheap to Tower Hill. Here in 1820 his son HENRY SOTHERAN was born, the father of the writer of these lines. As a boy he had walked over the London Bridge built by FATHER Peter of COLECHURCH in A.D. 1176, he was present at the burning of the old Royal Exchange, and died in 1905. The year of the founding of the firm was the morrow of Waterloo. Its Hundred Years' Mind finds England and nearly all civilized Europe fighting the battle of humanity against a criminal power infinitely more degraded than the Committee of Public Safety, whose victory would mean the end of a free and hopeful world As that long-prepared triumph for generations to come. of the German anti-God will never come about, it is both amusing and useful to mark its vain boasting now.
