Item description from seller

This is a two volume set and includes a cardboard slipcase. The books are in Very Good- condition and were likely issued without a dust jacket. The slipcase is in Very Good- condition. There is some light bumping to the spine ends and corners of the book covers. The text pages are mostly clean and bright, but there are occasional inked notations throughout the text. There are bookplates on both of the front pastedown pages. The slipcase has some bumping rubbing and wear to the corners and edges. "At the war's end, Major Putnam joined his father's publishing business, "G. Putnam Broadway." He was also appointed deputy collector of internal revenue. On his father's death in 1872, George H. Putnam took over the business with his brothers John Bishop and Irving, renaming it G. P. Putnam's Sons. He was made president of the firm, a position he held for the next fifty-two years. In 1884 he hired 26-year-old Theodore Roosevelt as a special partner; Roosevelt would write several works published by Putnam. Like his father, Putnam was active in numerous civic, social, and business causes. He served on the executive committees of the Civil-Service Reform Association, the Free-Trade League and the Reform Club, and was a founding member of the City Club of New York. He also aggressively continued with his father's work on copyright protection for authors." (from Wikipedia).…
