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.[1] The Beckwith edition of the Protocols of the Elders of ZionThe 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.[1] The translation was by his personal assistant Miss de Bogory and former Russian General G. J. Sosnowsky.[1] 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.[1] This publishing entity was a front created specifically in order to provide a publishing company willing and able to publish and distribute the Protocols.[1] Support and/or financing for this publication came is believed to have come from the American Defense Society.[1]
