sentences:  In 1855, Herbert Ingram and Company folded and Ward and Lock, with some help from their business partners Thomas Dixon Galpin and George William Petter, bought some of Ingram's “publications, including the copyrights, wood-blocks, stereotype plates and engravings [that] were put up for sale.” Perhaps, the most important book from the Ingram catalogue was "Webster’s Dictionary of the English Language", which Ward and Lock started reissuing with great success.By the 1870s, "Webster’s Dictionary" had sold 140,000 copies.Other titles published by Ward and Lock around this time included books on travel, mechanics, and reprints of classical works, such as Homer's Odyssey and Alexandre Dumas’ "Pictures of Travel in the South of France".
