Notes

Founded in 1768 by John Murray I (d. 1793). Based in 32 Fleet Street (1793–1812) and then 50 Albemarle Street (1812–43). From 1793 to 1803, John Murray II (his son and then still a minor) apprenticed with and published in partnership with Samuel Highley. Sometimes published under the fictive 'William Murray'. Partnered with the Edinburgh publisher Charles Elliot in 1807 and bought up William Miller's operation in 1812. Published the Quarterly Review from 1809. Succeeded by his son John Murray III in 1843.

John Murray continued as an independent publishing operation until it was amalgamated into Hodder and Stoughton, then Hachette Livre in 2002.
