About this Item

Includes articles on a wide variety of topics: Mammoth Cave, The River St. Clair and the Chippeway Indians, the Diving Bell, Moore's House at York Town, etc. There is occasional foxing and staining, but the contents are generally free of foxing. There are many full page illustrations. This copy lacks title page, table of contents and preface; also lacking pages 521-534--the missing pages do not appear to have been bound in this volume. The spine title is: Sears Pictorial Library, so the book's title is derived from that. There is an old Locust Street Public Schools (Philadelphia) bookplate on the front end paper. The original binding is quite worn and the leather spine is split at the rear outer joint & also horizontally in center--this does not affecting tightness of book. Despite the faults, this is an interesting item that is worth rebacking or rebinding. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 520 pages.
