Brown, Bazin & Co., Boston

In 1854 Brown, Bazin & Company was established by W. Henry Brown, F. Ormond, J. S. Bazin (previously with B. B. Mussey), and Richard D. Morse.

The firm was a publisher, bookseller and stationer and was located at 94 Washington Street in Boston. By the spring of 1857 this firm was out of business. W. Henry Brown left Brown, Bazin in 1857 to join W. P. Fetridge & Co., another Boston publisher.


Brown, Bazin & Co. published four juvenile series:

1. Oliver Optic's Stories for Young Folks
2. Grandmamma Easy's New Pictorial Colored Story Books
3. Young America Juvenile Library
4. Hewet's Illuminated Household Stories for Little Folks


It was the secondary imprint for Loomis' Fairy Tales for the Little Ones. It advertised a 12 volume "My Uncle Toby's Library" but as of yet there is no proof that this firm published the series.
