1882ref. 42730New York: G.W. Carleton & Co 1882. Very good. Oddly rare 19th-century household reference book in a beautiful publisher's binding. Stated eighteenth edition but OCLC locates no other editions of this title so this was likely a marketing tactic to increase the impression of the book's popularity. OCLC finds only four worldwide holdings of the physical book: one in Canada and three in the U.S. An extensively illustrated general encyclopedia for popular consumption which includes "whole chapters upon" subjects including Fine Arts Jurisprudence Vegetable Creation Animal Creation Mineralogy Chronology and more; edited by "The Ablest Talent the World Affords." 9'' x 6.5''. Publisher's original stemped and gilt decorative red cloth. 514 pages/ Very good. Modest scuffs edgewear to boards. Pages moderately to foxed throughout but complete and unmarked. Binding cracked at several points; mostly good and sound throughout. G.W. Carleton & Co unknown
