Joseph Champion was a writing master and accountant. He was a highly regarded schoolmaster, and publisher of copybooks and merchant primers. He combined practical business hands with more ornamental styles of writing.
He wrote to Sloane in letter 4222 to present Sloane with a copy of his own book of history, and asks if the Royal society would be able to recognise any imperfections or mistakes within it.
