Historia
Alexander Macmillan was born in Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland, and was cofounder of Macmillan Publishers in 1843, with his brother Daniel.
Alexander was the partner who developed the literary reputation of the company while Daniel took charge of the business and commercial side. Originally called Macmillan & Co., the firm started as a successful bookshop in Cambridge. The brothers soon started publishing books as well as selling them. After Daniel's death in 1857, Alexander continued to run the firm.
