Charles E. Brown & Co., Boston

Charles E. Brown was admitted as a partner into the well known Estes and Lauriat publishing firm in 1886. In 1891 he left to establish his own company, Charles E. Brown & Co.

It appears that a reprint of Ten Nights in a Bar-Room is the only T. S. Arthur title that this firm published. I have seen two formats. Although the presumption is that they both belong to a publisher’s series, this cannot be confirmed at this time. Most likely they were published in the mid-1890’s.

Both books have one illustration. The frontispiece is a line drawn picture of the Sickle and Sheaf drawn by Edith Foote Upham.

Paperbound. 7" x 4.75". Not dated
6" x 4". Inscription 1896.
