First Separate Edition. Cloth spine with Printed Boards. Pages 97-148. Frontispiece portrait. Illustrations. From the Proceedings of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin for 1911, page 97-151.

From the "Home Library" of Doctor William J. Mayo, one of the founders of the world-famous Mayo Clinic, with his bookplate on front endpaper, and his stamp on front free-endpaper.…
