Bound in publisher's half-leather over green cloth, gilt lettering on spine and cover, t.e.g., marbled endpapers. Generously illustrated with color and B&W illustrations. NB: The Lincoln Library of Essential Information is a classic American, topically arranged single-volume abridged encyclopedia first published in 1924 by the Frontier Press Company. Named in honor of Abraham Lincoln to celebrate his legacy of self-education, the work was specifically designed as an up-to-date manual for daily reference, self-instruction, and general culture. The encyclopedia followed a unique organizational strategy, functioning essentially as twelve distinct books amalgamated into one comprehensive reference tool. Main subject sections are: The English Language; Literature; History; Geography and Travel; Science; Mathematics; Economics and Useful Arts; Government and Politics; Fine Arts; Education; Biography; and Miscellany. Head and heel of the spine mildly worn, corners rubbed and worn, exterior of the hinges worn, but hinges strong, text block unmarked, tight, clean, and square. Scarce in this edition and this condition. A large, heavy (seven pounds) book - additional shipping charges may apply, particularly for expedited or international shipment. VERY GOOD. Color and B&W Illustrations. Thick Small 4to 9" - 11" tall. 2171 pages Very Good No dust jacket as issued.…
