Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from George Palmer Putnam, a Memoir: Together With a Record of the Earlier Years of the Publishing House Founded by Him In 1903, I brought into print a Memoir of my Father, which had been prepared to preserve, for the information of his children and grandchildren, a record of the chief incidents in his busy life, together with an estimate, based upon personal associations and memories, of the character of the man. The book was printed for private circulation in the family circle, and included details of family history that it was desirable to preserve but with which the public had naturally no concern. The present volume presents those portions of the earlier narrative having to do with matter that should, it is believed, possess interest for the general public, a public that now represents a later generation and which can include but few who ever had personal relations with the subject of the Memoir. The sons of G. P. Putnam had thought that the record of his business career ought to be preserved as a contribution to the history of American publishing and of international literary relations. They are particularly interested in emphasising the services rendered by him in furthering the establishment of international copyright between the United States and Europe. Mr. Putnam´s work on behalf of international copyright was begun as early as 1837, in which year was organised the first of the long series of copyright committees.
