NEW YORK CITY. -- The H. W. Hagemann Publishing Co. has recently been formed, with H. W. Hagemann as president. Mr. Hagemann is well known to the book trade at large through his connection with it for over twenty years, first with D. Appleton & Co., later with Charles Scribner's Sons, and more recently with the Worthington Company. The new firm announces that it is its intention to publish books of sterling quality only, and to make a special feature of works of fiction and children's books. They will shortly issue new editions of the novels of such well-known authors as Marlitt, Heimburg, Francois Coppee, R. M. Manley, Anne Reeve Aldrich, Florence Marryat, Nataly von Eschstrurh, Katherine King, and others, concerning which their new catalogue, now in press, will afford full information. They have also in preparation a line of juveniles. [ Publishers’ Weekly 46:1169, June 23, 1894, p913].

New York City. – The sheriff, on October 26, put a keeper in the place of business of the H.W. Hagemann Publishing Company, at No. 114 Fifth Avenue, on an attachment for $3322 in favor of J. J. Little & Co., for balance due for printing. The attachment was obtained on the ground that the firm is a New Jersey concern.

New York City. – The suit and attachment of J. J. Little & Co., against the H. W. Hagemann Publishing Company, has been dismissed.

Hagemann has retired, having disposed of his stock to the remaining shareholders. --- The Publishers’ Weekly 46: 1189 (Nov. 10, 1894), page 731
NEW YORK CITY. -- Mr. H. W. Hagemann who recently severed his connection with the Hagernann Publishing Co., has established himself in the book business under his own name at 160 Fifth Avenue. He will deal in standard and rare books, and pay special attention to importing English and other foreign books.
