Leonard Publishing Company, Albany
The Leonard Publishing Company was an Albany based firm that was a bookseller, publisher, printer and engraver. It was active in the 1890's. In the mid-1890's the firm was publishing periodicals (Everybody's Magazine, Little Folks' Paper, etc.), books, and sheet music.
Only two juvenile series were published by this firm. Both were
previously published by Robert Carter and Brothers. Although no author
is noted, all of the titles were written by Mrs. S. S. Robbins. These
volumes are quite scarce.
