Philadelphia. Winston founded his company in 1884. It was
primarily a publisher of Bibles until it bought the stock of Henry T.
Coates and Company in 1904. This instantly made Winston a major
publisher of juveniles. One year later it bought the stock of William
Collins Company, a major publisher of religious materials. In later
years Winston became a major publisher of textbooks. Winston died in
1920.
Tom Brown's School Days was published in a number of different formats
and series beginning in 1905.
This title appeared in the New International Library, New Acorn
Library, Readers Library (starting in 1909), the Winston Series, Winston's Illustrated Handy Classics, Every
Boy's Library (in 1909) and the Young People's Library.
