About This Item
Chicago: The Lakeside Press, 1908. First thus. Very good+ in dark green cloth covered boards with a gilt border and logo on the front board and gilt text on the spine. The top edge of the text block is gilt. The cloth at the head and heel of the spine are very slightly rubbed. The gilt text on the spine is slightly tarnished and the "M" and part of the "O" in the word "Memorable" as well as the "M" in "American" are damaged from some form of accident. The gilt borders and decorations on the front board remain bright and clean. but remain easy to read. The contents are clean, tight in the binding and without any foxing, tanning or prior ownership markings. 237 pages of text illustrated with a frontispiece portrait of Daniel Webster. The sixth Lakeside Classic from Christmas, 1908. An extremely uncommon volume in the series and one which remains in collectible condition.
