1848 to 1872(?)
One successor to {{publisher|Wiley and Putnam}}, from 1840
 
According to Wikipedia, succeeded by {{publisher|G. P. Putnam’s Sons}} in 1872 when sons George and John inherited the business. On the other hand, all of these publisher or imprint names are attested prior to 1872:
• George P. Putnam
• George P. Putnam & Son
• {{publisher|G. P. Putnam & Son}}
• G. P. Putnam & Sons
For the latter see Putnam’s Magazine, 2nd series, bound volume 6 <a href="https://hdl.handle.net/2027/hvd.32044092794403?urlappend=%3Bseq=5">title page</a> (viewed at HathiTrust). As of February 2019, HathiTrust holds bound volumes 2 and 6, of six semiannual volumes, whose title pages display (quote last two lines):
• G. P. Putnam & Son, 661 Broadway. // 1868.
• G. P. Putnam & Sons, 4th Ave. & 23rd St.// 1870.
 
George Palmer Putnam (1814–1872) dissolved Wiley & Putnam, his partnership with John Wiley, in 1848 (or 1847, which the Library of Congress reports for Wiley & Putnam).
Both partners continued in the business, each eventually with two sons.</Note>
