WILLIAM II. APPLETON.
From the Masters Table" in 1881,
William II. Appleton was actively en-
ployed as a clerk in his fathers store.
From the time of the first venture his
part in building up the business was
conspicuous one for over sixty years.
His associations with foreign au-
thors began with Thomas Moore, and
his acquaintance with English pub
fishers goes back to the time of the
elder Murray.
He was leading spirit in the direc-
ton of great undertakings like the
American Cyclopedia and "Pictur-
esque America" and his business life
included safe passage through the
troubled waters of three great finan-
cial crises--in 1877, 1857 and 1873. In
addition to his publishing interests he
had an important part for years in
the direction of other large enter
prises.
One of the earliest and most persist
ent advocates OF international copy
right, he and his partners recognized'
the moral rights OF foreign authors
when they were constrained by no le-,
gal obligation.
Speaking of the first book published
by the firm, in 1881, William ii. APP
pleton recently said: That book was
about three inches square and half an
inch thick, but its publication caused
the firm more anxiety than the Ameri-
can Cyclopedia, undertaken some thir-
ty years later" The American Cy-
clopedia cost $4,000 a volume before
sheet was printed. Picturesque
America" was also one of the firms
costly enterprises. The capacity OF
the house is shown by such projects
as these or Websters Speller over
million copies year were sold at one
period. and this book was only an
item in the firms diversified business,
nearly all Of which came within the
intelligent grasp Of the subject of this
sketch. He was married on April 10,
1874, to Mary Worthen, of Lowell
Mass. His children now living are
Miss Mary Appleton, William Wor-
then Appleton and Henry C. Appleton.
