Samuel Bagster

Samuel Bagster (1772-1851) was a noted London bookseller. The patriarch of his family, he established a strong tradition of daily family Bible reading. His son Jonathan and other members of his family drew from this heritage as they developd Daily Light on the Daily Path, which has become one of the most beloved classic devotionals of all time. Bagster and Sons, the family business, became a respected publishing house of Bibles and Bible reference books in the nineteenth century.
