New York: The University Society Inc., 1909 (copyright). Early printing, ca. 1909-1912. A beautifully preserved early printing of this installment of the Young Folks' Treasury, the University Society's richly illustrated 12-volume educational series first issued in 1909. Men and Women of Achievement; Self-Help presents lively biographical sketches of major historical and political figures - including Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Lincoln, Hamilton, Grant, Roosevelt, Julius Caesar, Cromwell, Napoleon, and Bismarck - written by Elbridge S. Brooks, Wallace Wood, Ernest Ingersoll, Frederick G. Harrison, and others. Profusely illustrated with sepia photogravures (including the Rockwood portrait of Theodore Roosevelt), halftones, and multiple full-color plates, all present and bright. Bound in the publisher's striking Art Nouveau pictorial cloth with gilt spine lettering and decorative endpapers typical of the earliest production period.

No jacket issued. Edition/Printing: Copyright page states 'Copyright, 1909,' with no printing statement, as issued; binding style, paper stock, and endpapers correspond to early-issue production circa 1909-1912.

Edward Everett Hale (1822-1909) minister, author, and humanitarian, was one of the most influential public intellectuals of his era. Best remembered for 'The Man Without a Country,' Hale dedicated his career to educational reform, civic improvement, and popular historical writing.…
