E. P. Dutton was an American book publishing company. It was founded as a book retailer in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1852 by Edward Payson Dutton.
In 1852, Edward Payson Dutton, along with Lemuel Ide, founded a bookselling firm in Boston. After he bought Ide out of the firm, Dutton acquired Ticknor & Fields bookstore along with its publishing division in 1864.
Dutton then expanded both the retail and publishing divisions of his company by opening a store in New York City and relocating its headquarters there. At this point, the majority of Dutton’s publications were religious titles, its first bestseller being Frederic W. Farrar’s The Life of Christ (1874). - Country
