Kingsley's first novel, "The Recollections of Geoffry Hamlyn", was published in mid-1859 by Macmillan and Co. He was an early exponent of muscular Christianity in his 1859 work, The Recollections of Geoffry Hamlyn (although he did not like the phrase itself). Christian Bernhard Tauchnitz, German publisher, paid the English authors for the works his company published, and agreed to limit their sales of English-language books to the European continent. In 1841, Tauchnitz started his English-language editions, with the series "Collection Of British Authors". Although Tauchnitz's editions were authorized, and listed as the 'Copyright Edition', they were not protected from copyright infringement and he could offer no such protection to the authors he paid.
