Great Men and Famous Women. A series of Pen and Pencil Sketches of The Lives of More Than 200 Of The Most Prominent Personages In History. Edited by Charles F. Horne. Published by Selmar Hess, New York, 1894. The front and back covers and spine coverings show some wear and marks. Most of the wear is around the edges and corners. The spine coverings' material is disintegrating a bit. The edges of the pages are gilded. The pages throughout show light wear and marks as well as a bit of yellowing due to age.
