Niles, Thomas

    0.01 sec.
Niles, Thomas (1825–94) publisher; born in Boston, Mass. Called the "boldest printer in Boston," he cofounded a printing house in 1855; putting out a pirated edition of Thomas De Quincey's Klosterheim ahead of another publisher, he soon developed a substantial list. In 1863 he joined Robert Brothers and built that firm into a leading publisher with his savvy acquisitions, including works of the popular (now-forgotten) English poet Jean Ingelow, inspirational novels by J. H. Ingraham, and Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. He also commissioned Louisa May Alcott to write Little Women.
