Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of a Publisher: 1865-1915 In 1912 I brought into publication a Memoir of George P. Putnam, in which, in addition to an estimate of the character and services of my father, I gave an account of the publishing firm founded by him, the record closing with 1872, the year of his death. In 1914, I published a volume, prepared chiefly for the information of my children and grandchildren, entitled Memories of My Youth. In this I narrated what I could remember of school days, of my experiences in French and German universities, and of the years of my service in the Civil War - a service which terminated in 1865, when with my twenty-first year, I attained citizenship. The present volume continues the account of the Putnam publishing concern from 1872; I have, however, not attempted any detailed record, for which there was, in fact, no adequate material. It seemed sufficient to make reference only to certain of the more distinctive of the publishing undertakings and to a few of the long list of authors with whom our personal relations have been important or interesting. The book continues also, from 1865 to 1915, the account of my personal undertakings and interests. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
