James Ridgway was a publisher/bookseller, newspaper publisher and printseller in Piccadilly and York Street, St James's Square London, from around 1777 until his death in 1838. He published large numbers of political pamphlets, initially by Foxite Whigs but after 1791 by radical authors and by members of the London Corresponding Society. In 1793 he was charged with seditious libel and imprisoned in Newgate prison for four years for publishing the second half of Thomas Paine's 'The Rights of Man'. while in Newgate prison he was at the centre of publishing activities by radical booksellers and authors. Following his release in 1797 he continued publishing until his death in 1838, when he was succeeded by his son Charles James Ridgway (1792–1855).
