Granville 'Hosken', Charles (sold)
Charles 'Granville' Hosken (c. 1867 - c. 1930) was an English businessman, writer, criminal, and publisher. He was more commonly known under the pseudonym 'Granville.' Granville/Hosken, publishing as Stephen Swift, issued the literary magazines Oxford and Cambridge Review and the Eye Witness and published some of the works of Oscar Wilde. In October of 1912 he was convicted of embezzlement and bigamy, was sent to prison, and his publishing assets seized. Granville/Hosken is an elusive figure of dubious personal character who seems to have been involved in a number of publishing and business scams in London. His association with 'The South' is unclear.

An uncommon 1886 Charles Granville folding pocket map of Florida here in its first English edition. Covering all of Florida, the map divides the state into counties, with an index of place names appearing in the lower right. An inset at left center extends the map west as far as Alabama. The map names Miami and shows a number of railroads in central and norther Florida but predates Flagler's East Coast Florida Railway. Several of the canals proposed to drain the Everglades into Lake Okeechobee are also noted. (more details)
