Seeley, Service was a British publishing firm. It was established in 1744 and ceased business more than two centuries later, in 1979. During most of the twentieth century the "well established" Seeley, Service was second only to Longman as Britain's oldest active publishing firm. In 1886 it was described by The Publishers' Circular as having a reputation for "taste and elegance".
