  • Small, Maynard & Company (Small, Maynard and Company in bibliographies) is a defunct publishing house located in Boston. In its day it was a highly reputable house in literature, and several U.S. authors were published by it, including Walt Whitman. The company opened its doors in 1897 at 6 Beacon St. in Boston. New editions of Whitman's Leaves of Grass and an edition of his complete works among the first to be published, after acquiring the rights to these works from the poet's executors. The company motto, which it published decoratively and in Latin, on title pages of its books was Scire quod sciendum, and translates as Knowledge worth knowing. In 1899, Small, Maynard & Co. took over the Copeland & Day publishing house. A year later, founder Herbert Small retired due to ill health. The business was sold at auction to Norman H. White, of Brookline, Massachusetts, owner of the Boston Bookbinding Company. White left the firm in 1907, but later returned. In the summer of 1907, the company acquired the Herbert B. Turner & Co. publishing company, which was less than five years old and had specialized in publishing classics such as a new, 13-volume edition of Robert Louis Stevenson's works, as well as theological works by laymen. Around 1907, the firm specialized in Belles-lettres and biographies. (en)
