Publishing House: The most spectacular of the British mergers took place in 1966, when seven publishing houses came together as a subsidiary of the Internation¬al Publishing Corporation, the world's largest magazine and newspaper combine. In this amalgamation were such old houses as Ginn & Co. and such relatively new ones as Daily Mirror Books—hardly a publishing house at all in the old sense. IPC's rival, the Thomson Organization, had already absorbed a noteworthy publisher, Hamish Hamilton, a year earlier.
HACHETTE, a-shet', Louis Christophe Francois(1800-1864), French publisher, who founded Europe's largest publishing house, Librairie Ha-chette. He was born at Rethel, Ardennes, on May 5, 1800, and studied in a teachers college and for the law. In 1826 he bought the Librairie Bredif, changed its name, and started publishing educational books and editions of classics.
Hachette went on to publish dictionaries and reference books, popular novels, books for chil¬dren and youth, and travel books.See Also Royal House Of Serbia:Yugoslavia took form as the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, built around the nucleus of the former Kingdom of Serbia and acknowledging the royal house of Serbia, only upon the dissolution of Austria-Hungary at the end of World War I. The Serbian kings lasted until the end of World War II, when youthful King Peter was exiled. Their fall paved the way for the socialist state we now know, with Tito (Josip Broz) at the helm.
Appointed honorary consul general in New York for Serbia, he was an active agent for that country during World War I, and organized for relief work a corps of Columbia students who served in Serbia in 1915. He has published Electro-Magnetic Theory (1895) ; Immigrant to Inventor (1923), for which he received the Pulitzer Prize in 1924; The New Reformation (1927) ; and Romance of the Ma¬chine (1930).
On The Other Hand See Demo¬cratic House:Elected speaker of the House of Representatives in 1876, he did much to codify its rules before the Republicans returned to power in 1881. With the House once more in Demo¬cratic hands in 1883, he resumed his chairmanship of the Committee on Appropriations. His con¬sistent advocacy of a protective tariff eventually cost him the support of President Grover Cleve¬land, however, and in 1888 he lost control of the Pennsylvania Democratic organization. There¬after his influence in Congress was slight.
On December 6, the Hayes and Tilden electors met separately in the disputed states and cast ballots for their man. In Congress these rival returns raised questions that produced a deadlock between the Republican Senate and the Demo¬cratic House. The Constitution provides that the president of the Senate (who in 1876—1877 was a Republican president pro tem, the vice presi¬dent having died) shall open the votes. |
