About This Item
New York: Dixon, Hanson & Company, 1906. Minor edge and corner wear, gently scuffed, lightly shelf worn, overall a very crisp and clean used copy, gift quality! Wonderfull well-preserved! Binding is tight. Marbled endpapers and outer page edges. Blue cloth with a leatherbound spine and corner and gilt lettering on the spine. Beautifully crafted. Fully and prolificly illustrated with lithographs, engravings, and historical, political and physical maps in black and white and color. "This Library of Reference has been published to supply the demands of a progressive and busy age. The rapid advancement made in recent years in every department of knowledge is not shown in books published ten or even five years ago. During these years much has happened to make an entirely new treatment of many subjects necessary; this is particularly true of chemistry, medicine and nearly all other branches of natural science. New inventions and discoveries have sprung into being, such as the automobile, air ship and wireless telegraphy. The uttermost parts of the earth have been explored; the light of civilization has reached the interior of Africa and the most distant isles of the sea, and their history and geography, as well as the foreign relations of the United States, have been essentially modified." Volume I: A to Caudine Forks.. Blue Cloth. Very Good+/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardcover.
