History
Assistant to the elder Thomas Cadell (1742–1802), bookseller and publisher, when he was chosen by him in 1793 as a partner for his youthful son Thomas Cadell the younger (1773–1836) in the management of his business. From that time the business traded as Cadell and Davies, and Cadell the younger left the management of the business to his partner until Davies fell ill in 1813.
