Treuttel and Wurtz: French firm of publishers and booksellers, founded by John-Georges Treuttel (1744–1826) and John-Godefroy Wurtz (1768–1841) in Strasbourg; they opened a branch in Paris in 1795 and a London branch was set up in 1817 under the management of Adolphus Richter (d. 1857), based at 30 Soho Square. They specialised in importing books from continental Europe. From 1827 they published a new journal, the Foreign Quarterly Review; Southey contributed to the first issue. The journal was relatively successful, selling 1,500 copies of the first two issues, and Treuttel and Wurtz continued to publish it until 1833; in 1846 it was merged with the Westminster Review.
