My uncle died after materially adding to the history of the firm without having had time to superintend the chronicling of its past. A few years ago, when I was talking with Mrs Oliphant over some new outlet for her ceaseless literary activity, the happy thought struck me of asking her to carry out my uncle's idea and to become the historian of the firm in whose service she was already an honoured veteran. For forty years she had worked incessantly for the 'Magazine, ' intimate with its history, thoroughly imbued with all its traditions, and very loyal to its past. Mrs Oliphant eagerly accepted the trust, entered into its fulfilment with even more than her wonted enthusiasm, and, with a pathetic prescience of what was to come, regarded the work as a fitting completion of her long and strenuous literary life.

Excerpt from Annals of a Publishing House, Vol. 1: William Blackwood and His Sons, Their Magazine and FriendsWe will not attempt to dive into these depths with the usual industry of the biographer. The name of Blackwood has had considerable illustration both in the past and in our own age. From Adam the Scholar in the sixteenth century to her Majesty''s late representative in F rance, the Marquis of Duff''erin, the race, never very largely extended, has honour enough with which to plume itself. The name came originally, as we are proud to think so many notable families have come, from Fife, where it ?ourished in earlier days near the town, once a regal seat, of Dunfermline. The particular branch from which the Edinburgh Blackwoods sprang had, in the person of a well-to-do burgess of Edinburgh, the ill-fortune, which half of Scotland shared, to be ruined by the terrible fate of the enterprise of Darien, and was thus reduced to comparative poverty. From that period the family records are vague, until the name was revived by the founder of a house which has had so much to do with the great effiorescence of literature in the early part of this century as to figure among the limited list, con fined to three or four only, of the Great Publishers who have given a special development to that much abused but often important profession.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
