__NOTOC__ Lee & Shepard (1862-1905) was a publishing and bookselling firm in Boston, Massachusetts in the 19th century, established by William Lee (b. 1826) and Charles Augustus Billings Shepard (1829-1889)〔Memorial Biographies of the New England Historic Genealogical Society: 1880-1889〕〔Shepard had a previous publishing and bookselling firm in the 1850s: Shepard, Clark & Co.; cf. Boston Directory. 1856〕〔"Charles A.B. Shepard." Publishers Weekly, Feb. 2, 1889; p.98-99〕 Authors published by the firm included: George Melville Baker;〔WorldCat. (Baker, George Melville 1832-1890 )〕 Sophie May; Henry Morgan; Oliver Optic; William Carey Richards;〔WorldCat. (Richards, William C. (William Carey) 1818-1892 )〕 Francis Henry Underwood;〔WorldCat. (Underwood, Francis Henry 1825-1894 )〕 Madeline Leslie and Levina Buoncuore Urbino. The business conducted its operations from offices at 149 Washington St. (ca.1872); the corner of Franklin and Hawley St. (1873-1885); and "adjoining the Old South," no.10 Milk St. (ca.1885).〔Austin. 1885〕 One of the first titles issued by the firm was the diary of Adam Gurowski, reviewed in 1862 by the ''New York Evening Post'': "This work is a crabbed specimen of authorship. ... The humor of it is sometimes that of Thersites, when his thorny tongue lashed the heroes of the camp, and sometimes that of Caliban when he cursed the arts of his superiors. ... Yet it is a book to be carefully read. Under its rough and prickly burr there is a nutritive nut."〔Quoted in: ''The Living Age'', No. 971, 10 January 1863〕 In 1905 Lee & Shepard merged with the Lothrop Company to form Lothrop, Lee & Shepard.〔Boston notes: The Consolidation of Lothrop Company and Lee & Shepard. New York Times, September 3, 1904. ()〕 Lothrop, Lee & Shepard is now an Imprint of Harpercollins.〔(Lothrop, Lee and Shepard Books - Publisher Contact Information ) Retrieved 2013-01-17.〕 ==Further reading== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lee & Shepard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
