Joseph Hamblen Sears of Oyster Bay, LI, former president of D Appleton & Co,
book publishers, died Friday in the home of his daughter, Mrs Sherman Phelps
Platt, at Kingsport, Tenn., it was learned here yesterday. He was 81 years
old.
Mr Sears was president from 1904 to 1918 of D Appleton & Co, which in 1933 was
incorporated with Century Co., Inc., to become known as D Appleton-Century Co.,
Inc. He became president of J H Sears & Co, publishers, in 1922, continuing
until his retirement in 1934.
He also was a writer, author of "The Governments of the World Today,"
published in 1893, and "Fur and Feather Tales," "None But the Brave," "A Box of
Matches," "The Career of Leonard Wood" and "The Ormsteads."
Born in Boston, Mr Sears attended the Roxbury Latin School, after which he
went into business for two years. He then entered Harvard, from which he was
graduated in three years. There he was president of The Harvard Advocate,
editor of The Crimson, captain of the 1889 football team and rowed on the
varsity crew.
He attended the Imperial University of Berlin for two semesters, then went to
Paris, where he studied in the Ecole des Sciences Politiques for a year. In
1891, when he returned to this country, he married Anna Wentworth Caldwell, who
died Sept. 27, 1937.
Mr Sears became associated with The Youth's Companion for eight months, was on
the staff of Cosmopolitan magazine for a year, and then joined Harpers, where
he acted in various editorial capacities for ten years on Harper's Young
People, Harper's Weekly and Harper's Bazaar.
In a discussion in 1913 of "morality" in book publishing he said, "It is
foolish to bring that 'Would you let your daughter read it?' before the
publisher as bearing on the question of whether he should publish the book or
not. He publishes books for many different circles of readers; and the
responsibility for which of the books young girls read rests on their parents
and not on him." He added that although some publishing houses had tried to
publish salacious literature hoping to achieve wide sales, they had not
succeeded for long, because, "for any permanence of success there must be an
underlying stratum of sincerity."
The morality of a book depends largely "on the way it is bound," he
maintained. "A novel on white slavery arouses protest," he declared. "A book
issued by the John D Rockefeller Jr laboratory exhibits more horrible details
and is called moral. And no more horrible things could be than are printed in
medical books."
Mr Sears appeared in the news in November, 1937, when it was disclosed that a
butler and chef named Alfred Grouard, who served for thirteen years in his
Oyster Bay home, proved on death to be a woman. Informed of the discovery, Mr
Sears said it was a surprise to him, and recalled that his wife, who had died
only a few months before, had hired "Groouard." He said "Grouard" had proved
an excellent chef.
The publisher was a member of the Garrick Club in London, the Cercle Union
Artistique in paris and the Century, Harvard, Union, Coffee House and Piping
Rock clubs in New York.
Besides his daughter, he leaves a sister, Mrs Charles Harned of Old Greenwich,
Conn.

Joseph married Anna Wentworth Caldwell on 1891. Anna died 27 Sep 1937.
