About This Item
Washington DC: The American Society, 1904. 1st edition thus. Rebound in heavyweight red cloth boards together with original blue stippled spine with gilt-on-leather title box pasted-on.. Good+, light wear, unmarked contents; no jacket.. Hefty one-volume encyclopedia of 1904 Americana, a cornucopia of turn-of-century data and minutiae. Solidly bound clean tight copy. Scarce. Heavy book. The time is ripe for such a volume. Not in any era of our countrys growth has there existed greater need for acquaintance with its activities, developing forces, distinguished men and crowning events than in the present one.... The numerous illustrations in tones and colors are conspicuous features of the work. They not only add greatly to its beauty and aesthetic value, but ... pleasingly increase the understanding and appreciation of the countless descriptive and statisical articles.
