Scribner, Charles
orig. Charles Scrivener

born Feb. 21, 1821, New York, N.Y., U.S.
died Aug. 26, 1871, Lucerne, Switz.

U.S. publisher.

In 1846, in partnership with Isaac D. Baker (d. 1850), Scribner established the publishing firm of Baker & Scribner in his native New York City. In 1878 the firm was renamed Charles Scribner's Sons. Its list initially consisted of philosophical and theological (mainly Presbyterian) books, but it later included reprints and translations of British and continental European literature. Among the firm's periodicals was Scribner's Monthly (1870–81). After his death other members of the Scribner family continued the business.
