As for genealogical sleuthing regarding the two Mathews, the set was acquired from a Birmingham, Alabama estate but from a family whose eighteenth to mid-twentieth century roots, as evidenced by inscriptions and the like among other books in the large collection, were in New England and, in particular, within Maine. Please note that this set has an approximate shipping weight of 8.25 pounds (3.74 kg) and will require additional postage for any postal class other than domestic Media Mail.
