Overview
Overview
Mount had previously been in partnership with his father-in-law William Fisher (1631–1692) and inherited the business on the latter's death. Successive generations of Mounts and Pages worked in the business, and the families intermarried. One of its staple titles was Navigatio Britannica by John Barrow, published in 1750 and still being advertised in 1787. John's son William (1753–1815) was the last to work in the business, and later generations went into politics. Direct descendants include David Cameron, MP.
