About This Item
Sixth impression, the three volumes uniform in publisher's original gray cloth with black spine lettering, 16mo (6 3/4 inches in height by 4 3/4 inches in width). Pagination: Volume I: xii, 212; Volume II: vii, 235; Volume III: vii, 230. Majority of the board tips with some shelf bumping. Printed gray dust jackets with unavoidable nicks and short tears due to the especially thin paper the publisher chose for this project. On the front pastedown of each volume, neatly applied, is the unique and clever bookplate of Truda T. Weil (1899-1971). Miss Weil, a leader in school integration, retired in 1969 as Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Schools in New York. She held numerous important positions during a long career, including educational adviser to Mayor La Guardia in the nineteen-forties. Her New York Times obituary described her as "a statuesque woman known for her elegance of dress" and "mellifluous voice."
