Beckwith Company
The Beckwith Company was a publishing entity in 1920, based in New York City. It is remembered for publishing a second edition of the forged Protocols of the Elders of Zion, more specifically a second translation from the Russian language into the English language.

The Beckwith edition of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion

The meaning of the lead title is the expression, "Praemonitus praemunitus," a Latin saying which means "forewarned is forearmed." The anonymous editor of this edition was Harris A. Houghton. The translation was by his personal assistant Miss de Bogory and former Russian General G. J. Sosnowsky.

The pseudonym under which this imprint was published, "Peter Beckwith," is believed to be Harris A. Houghton, suggesting further that "The Beckwith Company" was merely a front for Houghton to get his new translation of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion published. This publishing entity was a front created specifically in order to provide a publishing company willing and able to publish and distribute the Protocols. Support and/or financing for this publication came is believed to have come from the American Defense Society.
