Blackie & Son had started subscription and instalment selling in the late 1870s – works such as Kerner's Natural History of Plants and Davis's Natural History of Animals. The Gresham Publishing Company was formed in order to take over the subscription trade of Blackie & Son Ltd and also to introduce the publication of scientific and technical books. Titles included The New Popular Encyclopaedia (1900) and the Gresham Dictionary and Gresham Encyclopaedia (1910s). The firm was incorporated in 1917 as Gresham Publishing Company Limited and had its head office London with branches in almost every major British city as well as branches in Canada and India. The original company continued trading for fifty years until 1948, and now, sixty-five years on, the Gresham name is once again to the fore as a Glasgow–based publisher.
