The First John Murray and the Late Eighteenth-Century London Book Trade by William Zachs

In October 1768 John Murray founded the publishing house which until recently remained an independent. He had no publishing experience and began with a capital of just 700. On his death, twenty-five years later, Murray's stocks, shares and copyrights were worth 12,000.
