Excerpt from An Historical Notice Upon the Establishment of Messrs. Hachette Co: May, 1876 The establishment of Messrs. Hachette was at first an exclusively classical bookseller's. Formerly a pupil of the Ecole Normale Supérieure, and forcibly impressed at the commencement of his career by the measures which suppressed his school in 1822, M. L. Hachette undertook to establish a publishing firm for the sale of classical works, the object of which was to continue teaching in this way at least, since it was impossible for him to do so otherwise. Sic quoque docebo was then his maxim, and his firm has continued faithful to the motto he gave it at its rise. Though changed since 1852 by the addition to the classical catalogue of a series of publications embracing General Literature and Useful Knowledge the establishment has, nevertheless, continued to be preeminently the School-Book Library. It is the ambition and honour of the successors, of M. Hachette to bear in mind both the origin of their house and the intention of its founder.
