OF

HOUGHTON, MIFFLIN AND COMPANY


i

THE
Company was

founder of the publishing house of Houghton, Mifflin and


Henry Oscar Houghton, and the beginnings of
the business are to be .found in his personal ventures long before the
firm took its present style.
Mr. Houghton was born in the little vilAt the age of thirteen he

became an apprentice

in the office of the

Burlington JFree Press, and in

the mechanical training there received he laid in part the foundation


of his business success.

more important foundation was

in the in-

upon which he afterward entered. An elder brother


was at the time a student in the University of Vermont, and listening
to his advice, the boy determined to acquire a collegiate education.
At the age of nineteen he entered the same university with twelve and
a half cents in his pocket, but with a substantial preparation and with
a resource in his trade as a printer to which he turned from time to
time as a means of support.
Mr. Houghton's first purpose, like that of many college graduates
of his day, was to take up teaching until he could decide upon his
permanent vocation ; but failing to find a favorable opportunity, he
took up the work of a reporter on the Boston Traveller. It was
while he was engaged on the newspaper that the publication of a
scholarly work by one of the publishing houses in Boston demanded
a proof-reader trained in the classics, and the task came to Mr. Houghton.
The renewal of his old art opened the way, and though at first
reluctant, since in the eyes of most in those days a college education seemed thrown away on a printer, he resolved to turn to printing
as his vocation, and in January, 1849, he joined Mr. Bolles, then of
the firm of Freeman and Bolles, in establishing a printing office under
the style of Bolles and Houghton.
Mr. Freeman retained for a while

was Mr. James Brown, a warm friend of the elder John Murray, from
whom he named a son, who has succeeded him in business. The
firm gave the young printer substantial encouragement, and Mr.
Houghton, who was now by himself, became the tenant of Mr. Charles
C. Little in a brick, domestic looking building on the banks of the
Charles River. The building had formerly been used by the city of
Cambridge as a house for the town poor, and stood almost in the
open country. Mr. Houghton and Mr. Brown were desirous of giving the new press a significant name, and tried various experiments
" This press stands by the side of the

Charles River ; why not call it The Riverside Press ? " and this most
natural name was then given it, so that now the term Riverside has
come to cover a thickly populated district and to be applied to various
:

neighboring industries.
The nature of Mr. Brown's business led to somewhat of a specialization of Mr. Houghton's industry, and he gave great attention to the

manufacture of law books.

largely interested in works of standard literature, and was at this time
carrying forward the series of British Poets, re-edited on this side

Mr. Houghton gradually found


himself acquiring an interest in the books which he printed, and
he saw also the necessity of adding facilities for binding. He went

to Mr. Houghton that, with the interest he was acquiring in important
books, if was desirable to make a closer connection with a publisher,
and in 1864 he formed a partnership with Mr. Melancthon M. Hurd,
of New York, formerly of the firm of Sheldon and Company, and the
new firm of Hurd and Houghton at once began the publication of
law, standard, and miscellaneous books.
The publishing proper was
to be carried on in New York, while the manufacture of books for

Scudder. The firm of Hurd and Houghton existed under the same

The immediate effect of this was to trans-

form a well-equipped manufacturing concern with a modest list of


publications into a large publishing house having on its catalogue
the names of the great leaders of American literature.
The premises
in Boston formerly occupied by James R. Osgood and Company
became the headquarters of the publishing department, and the books
now bore the imprint of Boston and New York instead of New York
and Cambridge.
The firm as thus constituted continued for two years, when Mr.
Osgood retired, and the style of the firm became, in 1880, Houghton,
Mifflin and Company and, shortly after, the publishing headquarters
in Boston were removed to 4 Park Street, and in New York to 1
East Seventeenth Street. Various changes in the personnel of the
firm have occurred since that time.

by the reissue under new form of standard works, and by the absorption of other publishing houses.
The most important accession, as already stated, grew out of the consolidation with James R.

Company, of New York, and Crocker and Brewster, and Ticknor and
Company, of Boston. The Catalogue of Authors which follows this

But rich as the list is in British literature of renown, the distinction of the house is in its representation of American literature.
The group of portraits which serves as a frontispiece to this catalogue
will be recognized at once as standing for the great figures of the
classic period of our literature.
When we name Hawthorne, Emerson, Longfellow, Whittier, Lowell, Holmes, Mrs. Stowe, and Thoreau,
we leave but one or two of the great American authors unmentioned,
and the complete writings of all the above writers are issued by
Houghton, Mifflin and Company, and by that house alone. By longcontinued relations with these authors, and after their death with their
families and their representatives, the house has become thoroughly
identified with them, and has acknowledged its trust by presenting
the works of these writers in a great variety of forms, constantly
aiming to meet the demands of the public by beautiful editions, by
inexpensive ones, by editions suited for study, and by compilations.
The Riverside Editions, so called, are noteworthy for their fullness
and their equipment, and the Cambridge Editions of the poets,
extending also into the whole domain of English poetry, stand not
only for great care in manufacture, but for close attention to that editorial charge which provides an exact text, proper annotation, bibliographical matter, and thorough equipment of indexes.

EDUCATIONAL BOOKS

Although certain text-books of value are on the list, the chief attention in this department has been directed toward the introduction
into schools of the classic literature already issued by the house in
library form.
The aim here has been to give the writings of American and English authors, suitable for reading by persons of school
age, in an inexpensive, handy form, and provided with helpful apparatus in the way of biographical sketches, maps, portraits, and notes.
The Riverside Literature Series and Rolfe's Students' Series cover

Gilmore Simms, and Paul Hamilton Hayne was an early and constant friend. His
first volume of poems appeared in i860, and during the War for the Union he
wrote a series of war lyrics which endeared him to the South. His delicate
health prevented his going to the war, and in 1864 he removed to Columbia, S. C,
where he edited the " South Carolinian." He lost everything in the fire which
destroyed the city in 1865, and his last years were spent in poverty and ill

For eighteen years he studied, traveled, and taught in Europe.

under the thin veil of Rivermouth. Here was laid the scene of most of his " Story
of a Bad Boy," and its historical characteristics are noted in his " An Old Town
by the Sea." His early years were divided between this place and New Orleans.
He entered a counting-room in New York when a young man, but his literary
diversions soon became his occupation. He was connected with one and
another journal, but came to Boston in 1870 to take charge of " Every Saturday."
Later, he was for nine years editor of " The Atlantic Monthly," and has continued
to reside in Boston.
His writings consist of Poems, Dramas, Novels, Stories,

a contributor to "The Atlantic Monthly." He was U. S. Consul at Crefeld,
Germany, 1878-80, and at Glasgow, 1880-85.
since then he has lived in
London, devoting himself to his literary pursuits.

He went to

short time, and then settled permanently in Boston. He painted portraits, figurecompositions, and landscapes. He was a successful teacher, and he exercised an
important influence on the development of American art.

Born in Dublin, the eldest daughter of an Irish miniature-painter named Murphy. Her father moved his family to England in 1798, and they lived at Whitehaven and Newcastle-on-Tyne successively until 1803, when they removed to
London. At the age of sixteen Miss Murphy became a governess. In 1821 she
traveled on the Continent with a pupil, making her first visit to Italy, and the
" Diary of an Ennuyee " was one of the results.
She was married to Robert
Jameson in 1825, but the union proved an unhappy one, and they lived apart
much of the time, making a final separation in 1838, after spending a year or
two together in Toronto, where Mr. Jameson had lived for several years. Mrs.
Jameson traveled extensively in Europe, and became an acknowledged authority
on sacred art. She was also deeply interested in philanthropic movements.
She died at Ealing.

member of the Society throughout his life. He worked on his father's farm
when a boy, and attended the Haverhill Academy. At the age of twenty -one he
edited " The Manufacturer " in Boston for a few months, then returned to the
farm.
He edited the Haverhill " Gazette" for the first six months of 1830, and
then went to Hartford, Conn., as editor of the " Xew England Weekly Review,"
remaining there till the beginning of 1832, when he returned to Haverhill and
resumed his life on the farm. In 1836 he removed to Amesbury, Mass. He had
hopes of a political career, but his activity in the anti-slavery cause destroyed his
chances in that direction. From 1847 to I S6o he was corresponding editor of

Wiggin, Kate Douglas.

[Mrs. George C. Riggs.]

Born in Philadelphia. Her maiden name was Smith, and Miss Nora Archibald Smith (see p. 122) is her sister. She was taken to Hollis, Me., when a young
child, and later, after attending school in Massachusetts, she went to California.
There she studied the kindergarten under Emma Marwedel, and, after teaching
in Santa Barbara College for a year, she organized in San Francisco the first
free kindergarten on the Pacific slope.
In 1880 she started a training-school in
connection with it. On becoming Mrs. Wiggin, in 1880, she gave up teaching,
but she retained a connection with the work for some years. She removed to
New York in 1888, and was married to George C. Riggs of that city in 1895, her
first husband having died in 1889.
Her summers are spent at her old home in
Hollis, Me.

reprints of English editions, and in some cases the publishers simply
bought sheets and bound them with their own title-pages. But all
that were reprinted passed under the careful editorial supervision of
the late Professor Francis J. Child, who himself contributed the
series of English and Scottish Ballads, made the admirable Spenser,
and wrote the life of Hood. He called in the aid of other competent
editors.
Lowell, for example, edited Keats, and wrote the life of
Wordsworth, and Mr. Norton wrote the life of Coleridge. The series
was afterward sold to Messrs. Ticknor <Sc Fields, and later came upon
the list of Houghton, Mifflin
Co., who added a Chaucer, edited by
Mr. Arthur Gilman, and a Ben Jonson, edited by Mr. Scudder. They
reissued the series in a fewer number of volumes by bringing two
and sometimes three of the former volumes into a single one and the
series is now in 68 volumes, crown 8vo, each $1.50; the set, $100.00.
The list is as folSteel portraits of the poets accompany the work.

An historical introduction follows narrating the facts on which the poem is based, and a
critical essay gives the student an account of the origin of Evangeline
and some insight into its form and metre, with reference to the literature which has grown up about it.
The poem is given in the author's

approved text, and is accompanied by foot-notes, which have been prepared with great care. The editor's purpose has been to remove difficulties in the way of an understanding of the poem, but not to afford
a substitute for a good dictionary to quicken an interest in the contents of the poem, but not to comment upon it. In brief, he has aimed
to bring the reader close to the poem, not to interpose himself and
his observations, or to usurp the function of the teacher. A Pronouncing Vocabulary at the close is for the convenience of teacher and

The series, begun with Evangeline in 1883, has grown till it includes
a very large part of the prose and poetry of the classic American
authors adapted to schoolroom use, plays of Shakespeare, and a number of the standard poems, essays, and narratives of English, Scotch,
and Irish writers. It includes also translations from Hans Andersen,

This poem by Scott is almost always the first one to be read when Scott is taken
up, and the picturesqueness, movement, and melody of the verse make it one of the
last to fade from the memory. The sketch of the poet's life takes special cognizance
of the poetic side of his nature, and many of the illustrations are careful studies
from the scenes of the poem.

This is one of the most popular of Cooper's Leather-Stocking Tales. The scene
is laid during the French and Indian war, and the story contains those portraitures
of Indians and hunters which have fixed in the minds of men the characteristics of
these figures. Miss Susan Fenimore Cooper, daughter of the novelist, gives an
interesting account of the growth of this story.

Miss Larcom has here told the story of her early life, when as a country girl she

This is the famous first part of the great classic. The editor has shown clearly
how interesting and valuable the book is as an illustration of English life in the
Puritan period, and how masterly it is as a piece of English idiomatic prose. Bunyan interprets the homely England of his day as Milton did the English state and
the scholar's attitude. It would be a mistake to regard the book as exclusively
religious.
It would be a mistake also to deny its religious inspiration.

THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY.


A

Magazine of Literature,

Science

Art, and

Politics.

The origin of The Atlantic forms the subject of a chapter in American literature which has often been written. The magazine was
established, not primarily as a commercial enterprise, but that a group
of men and women who had moral earnestness and literary power
might have an organ which should stand for the best impulses in
and marshal the literary forces of the country. The
magazine, James Russell Lowell, stamped his own
the
first editor of
His acute literary conscience
character at once on the periodical.
and his enthusiasm for great reforms gave assurance that the magazine would show the best literary art and bring to the front the worthiest material for thought and feeling.
The first publishers of the magazine were Messrs. Phillips, Sampson & Co., of Boston ; and their literary adviser, the late Francis H.
Underwood, was largely concerned in organizing the magazine and
Some of the incidents connected with the foundgetting it on its feet.
ing have been recorded by Mr John T. Trowbridge, a contributor to
the first number, in his article written after Mr. Underwood's death,
and published in The Atlantic for January, 1895, under the title The
Author of Quabbin. Mr. Lowell was at the time a professor in Harvard College, and he named as an indispensable aid in giving character to the work Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, known then as a
felicitous poet, an agreeable lecturer, and a brilliant conversationalist.
Dr. Holmes began his Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table in the first
number, which was issued in November, 1857, and at once gave the
magazine a distinct reputation through the introduction of what was
almost a new variety of literary composition. He continued to contribute to the magazine down to the year of his death. The steadfastness of the old contributors to the magazine is remarkable.
Of the
contributors to the first number two are now (1899) still living
Professor Charles Eliot Norton and Mr. John T.Trowbridge.
Mr.
Norton wrote in the first number on the Art Exhibition, then attracting great attention in Manchester, England, and he had an article on
Rudyard Kipling's poetry in the number for January, 1897, the volumes between these dates containing about fifty papers from his pen,
including important Dante studies.
Mr. Trowbridge, who had a
story in the first number, contributed more than sixty poems, tales,
and essays before that in which he gave his pleasant reminiscences of
the beginning of the magazine.
Perhaps nothing so pointedly indicates the steadfastness of the magazine to its early ideas as the fact
that Mr. Lowell invited the great historian Parkman to tell the story

it natural- to send this study to the editor of TJie Atlantic of that

day.
Dr. Parkman was one of the distinguished company of authors who
early made the magazine the vehicle for their writings.
In the very
first number, besides the writers already named, appeared Emerson
with five poems, Mrs. Stowe with a story, Motley with his Florentine
Mosaics, William H. Prescott with an historical paper, Longfellow
with a poem,
Santa Filomena,
and Lowell himself with two poems
and a causerie. Colonei Higginson and Rev. Edward Everett Hale,
both frequent contributors ever since, made their appearance in the
magazine in its first year.
Four volumes, covering two years and two months, were issued by
the house of Phillips, Sampson & Co., when the death successively of
Mr. Phillips and Mr. Sampson was followed by a dissolution of this
firm, and the magazine passed into the hands of Messrs. Ticknor
Mr. Lowell continued to conduct it for a few months longer,
Fields.
when he resigned the editorship to one of the members of the firm,
Mr. James T. Fields, but continued his close connection with the
magazine as contributor until his death. The house of Ticknor
Fields was the leading house in the country in the publication of
literature proper, especially that of American origin, and under the
skillful management of Mr. Fields the magazine drew to itself a large
number of the best writers of the day, welcoming also the newcomers.
Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Howells early became contributors, and Mr.
John Fiske, Mr. Burroughs, and Bret Harte were added about the
same time. Of the older writers, the most celebrated, besides those
already named, were Hawthorne, Thoreau, Bryant, and among foreign
writers Robert Browning and Sainte-Beuve.
In 1866 Mr. Fields associated with himself Mr. William Dean

Howells, who had lately returned from Venice, and had already been
a contributor and from this time on till his connection with the magazine was discontinued by his resignation from the editorship, Mr.

passed into the hands of Messrs. H. O. Floughton & Co., of the
Riverside Press, Hurd & Houghton of New York, and has continued
in the same hands, under changes of firm names, since that date.
Mr. Howells continued to edit the magazine, having for a while as
assistant Mr. George Parsons Lathrop, until the spring of 1880, when
he was succeeded by Mr. Thomas Bailey Aldrich. Mr. Aldrich was
followed in the spring of 1890 by Mr. Horace E. Scudder in the
spring of 1896 Mr. Walter H. Page, formerly editor of The Forum
New York, became associate editor, and in the summer of 1898, on
the retirement of Mr. Scudder,' he became sole editor.
The Atlantic has never changed its form to any considerable extent.

were not signed, the publishers did not publicly


announce them, and the table of contents accompanying each volume
did not contain the names of authors annexed to their several contributions.
This last practice was begun in the ninth volume, and at
the beginning of the twenty-sixth the present custom was adopted of
the practice continued,
signing each article with the author's name
however, of withholding signatures from reviews and articles in
departments. When the first general index was published in 1877,
and especially when the second comprehensive index in 1889 was prepared, pains was taken to record the authors' names of all unsigned
articles at first

every description save one.


In the first number Mr. Lowell introduced a department of a somewhat personal order, called The Round Table, but he probably took
alarm at the prospect of having to keep it up with his own writing,
and he did not repeat the experiment. In 1872, shortly after coming
into office as sole editor, Mr. Howells organized a group of departments, covering literature, science, art, politics, music, and subsequently education ; he had the special cooperation of Mr. Thomas
Sergeant Perry in French and German Literature, Mr. John Fiske in
Science, Mr. William Foster Apthorp in Music, and Mr. Arthur
George Sedgwick in Politics. These departments were discontinued
in 1877.
For a few numbers, also, in 1876 and 1877,

was tried of giving original music accompanying original songs. In
He had from
1877 Mr. Howells introduced The Contributors' Club.
time to time received sprightly letters from contributors and others,
sometimes containing good-humored criticism of the contents of the
magazine, and as a frugal editor he disliked to see so much good
" copy " wasted
accordingly, he began making use of excerpts from
the letters, but the club quickly passed beyond this simple function,
articles of

and

free speech.

Perhaps no one writer contributed so many

which provoked other articles as the late E. R. Sill. The


authorship of articles in the club is not disclosed in the otherwise full
Atlantic Index. In 1896 another department was added and resorted
to irregularly, under the name Men and Letters, designed to give
opportunity for brief signed articles on authors and literary topics,
but not formal reviews of books.
Reviews of books have formed a special feature from the outset,
and a reference to the Index will disclose the fact that besides the
editors, a number of the foremost critics in the country have been
engaged in this work. In 1880 the reviews of current literature, which
articles

THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY


formerly had been in a department by themselves, were made regular,
though still unsigned articles at the close of each number, the practice being adopted of grouping kindred works, when practicable, in a
single article.
Of late there have been frequent departures from this
many
practice, and
reviews have been signed, especially when they
have been large studies of special subjects or authors. In 1S79 Mr.
Howells added to the regular reviews a summary of current publications, with rapid comments, under the title of Books of the Month.
This department in 189 1 was renamed Comment on New Books, and
was continued until the spring of 1897, when the great increase in
special book journals and the enormous multiplication of literature
induced the conductors to abandon the Comment as a small-type
department.
The line which stands on the cover of the magazine below the title
indicates briefly the scope of The Atlantic and the purpose it has
always held. It is above all devoted to literature. Not only is the
subject of literature itself constantly considered, but what is more to
the point, the magazine contains works of literary art, and it aims
at the best literary form in all its articles.
The lasting contributions

As a special exponent of American politics and history, The Atlantic
has never lost sight either of the foundations of national life or of the
great questions of current interest. Before and during the war for the

Wilson on President Cleveland, that by Dr. John Fiske on Arbitration, and that by President Eliot on Five American Contributions
to Civilization, to mention a few only of the later papers, intimate
the policy of the magazine to treat politics in a large way. By the
general term " politics " it understands all the functions of the State,
and, especially of recent years, it has given unremitted attention to
movements in education. It heralded some of the great reforms by
papers from Presidents Eliot, G. Stanley Hall, and others ; it has
given editorial consideration to the study of English both in school
and college in the winter of 1896 it set on foot a broad inquiry into
the public school system throughout the United States and it brings
before the public the important philosophical observations of Professors Miinsterberg and William James. It has lately occupied itself with
some of the important questions springing out of the improvement of
town and country life in parks and reservations, and it seeks both to
record progress and to point the way.
In connection with this general subject, it has published some remarkable papers by John Muir.
In brief, The Atlantic aims at representing the interests of cultivated Americans who are thoroughly concerned in the development

and wish to see great subjects treated

who also ask in their magazine a satisfaction of their
demand for pure literature. The Atlantic therefore preserves a balance between that literature which is charged with the task of informing and stimulating, and that which appeals to the imagination and a
refined taste.
It is neither a miscellany nor an organ, but combines
the prominent features of the political, historical, and sociological
review, the critical and scholarly journal, and the vehicle for creative
of the higher life of the nation,
