He was a wealthy man having inherited from his father, grandfather and uncle. Hollis advanced his views to others by having books that promoted his beliefs specially bound and presented to friends and institutions within the UK and abroad, notably to Harvard Library following the serious fire in 1764. The majority of volumes bound for Hollis were covered in red Morocco with specially cut emblematic decorative tools designed by the Italian painter and engraver Giovanni Battista Cipriani (1727-1785, who resided in London from 1755). His principal bookbinder from circa 1759 to 1769 was John Matthewman (and business partner John Bailey). In June 1764 a large fire broke out at the Matthewman and Bailey bookshop and bindery causing a great deal of damage and the loss of three lives. As a consequence of the fire new emblematic tools were cut by the engraver Thomas Pingo. In March 1766 the bindery workshop suffered severe financial difficulties and eventual bankruptcy which was announced in the newspapers at the time. The failure of the business was reported to have been caused by Matthewman’s business partner John Bailey. The business continued for a short while until 21 June 1769 when Matthewman absconded to avoid the debtor’s prison.
