The high reputation Of the old firm Of
Ticknor & Fields will doubtless be sustained
by their successors, Fields, Osgood & Co. Mr..
James 7. Fields, whose name now appears at
the head Of the firm, is we'll known as poet
of more than ordinary merit and as a gentle
man of the highest taste and culture. After
the death of the elder Mr.. Ticknor, Mr.. James
R. Osgood was taken into the firm, and the
effects of his enterprise and business talents
were Immediately evident. The high standard
of the publications of the house was maintained,
and greater attention than ever was paid to
getting out books in the most elegant style of
the typographical art. Longfellow's transla-
tion of Dante's great poem was a superb
specimen of book making, and innumerable
other works might be mentioned as evidences
of the good taste displayed both on the out
side as well as the inside of volumes issued by
this house.
Mr. Osgood is reputed to be the business
man of the firm of Fields, Osgood & Co., as
he was of the lately dissolved firm of Ticknor
& Fields, and under his administration the
imprimatur of Fields, Osgood u Co. will
doubtless become as widely and as favorably
known as was that of Ticknor & Fields.
