I found a brief reference about him with Wikipedia, a portion of which I paraphrase here below: Whitridge's family came to America in 1642. He graduated from Amherst College and Columbia Law School in the 1880s and lectured on political science and constitutional law at Columbia for years. He was perhaps best known for acquiring the Third Avenue Railroad and rehabilitating and upgrading it. It would eventually become part of the New York City subway system (the IRT). This small hard cover book (4 ¾ x 7 inches 79 pages) was published by E.P. Dutton and Company of New York dated 1914 and probably a First if not the only Edition. It is bound in dark blue cloth with gilt titles on the cover. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The hard covers are perhaps a bit dust-dulled but still very presentable. The gilt titles are fully legible and attractive. The spine is faded and the gilt titles there hard to see. Inside the book is unmarked and the pages are clean and bright throughout. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.
