New York, James T. White & Company, 1918. Hardcover. Small 4to. Quarter calf with gilt spine lettering and blue pebbled cloth. 449pp, (5pp). Top edge gilt. Extensive full-page illustrations with tissue guards, marbled endpapers. Very good. Minor splits at heads and tails of outer hinges (only), but still tight -- and internally fine, bright and white. Handsome first edition of this single volume (#16) of this massive reference work "Edited by Distinguished Biographers, Selected from Each State Revised and Approved by the Most Eminent Historians, Scholars, and Statesmen of the Day," in the sumptuous quarter leather binding. The quantity and quality of the full-page photographs and steel-engraved portraits is stunning. Just an odd volume -- but what a volume!.
