Biographical History
In 1785, Mathew Carey (1760-1839) founded Mathew Carey & Company, one of Philadelphia's earliest publishing houses. The firm began printing a variety of works, but by the late 1830s, it specialized in scientific and medical publications. During the 1800s, the firm changed its name a number of times. It became M. Carey & Son in 1817, when Mathew's son, Henry C. Carey, joined the firm. In 1821, Carey's son-in-law, Isaac Lea, joined the firm and it became M. Carey & Sons. The senior Carey retired in 1824, and shortly thereafter the partnership became Carey, Lea & Carey, when younger son Edward L. Carey joined the firm. In 1829, Edward Carey left to form a bookselling partnership with Abraham Hart. In 1833, William A. Blanchard became a partner and the firm became, briefly, Carey, Lea & Blanchard. In 1836, Henry C. Carey retired and the firm was known as Lea & Blanchard until 1851. That year Isaac Lea withdrew in favor of his son, Henry Charles Lea, and the firm became Blanchard & Lea, which it remained until Blanchard's retirement in 1865. Thereafter, the firm bore only the Lea name until 1907 when Lea's sons joined with Christian Febiger to form the partnership of Lea & Febiger. The company was sold to Waverly, Inc. in 1990.
In 1785, Mathew Carey (1760-1839) founded Mathew Carey & Co. At first the company printed a variety of works, but by the late 1830s, it specialized in scientific and medical publications. During the 1800s, the firm changed its name a number of times, becoming M. Carey & Son; M. Carey & Sons; Carey, Lea & Carey; Carey, Lea & Blanchard; Lea & Blanchard; Blanchard & Lea; and finally, Lea & Febiger. The company was sold to Waverly, Inc. in 1990.
