This sale consists of 7 volumes of the 8 vol. set of books on Great Men and Famous Women edited by Charles F. Horne and published by Selmar Hess Pub. in New York in 1894. Approximately 250 biographies each containing wood cut and photogravure illustrations. The insides of the covers are marbled paper, the prints have tissue paper lining them. All are on fine quality paper which has no foxing or musty smell. The 8th vol. is missing, volumes 1 to 7 are complete.  The covers are in good condition, the second and third of my pictures shows the worst damage to them.
