About This Item
Revised, octavo, pp. 349. A FAIR only copy in gray wrappers with perimeter tears and chips, soiling, and separation beginning at each end of the spine. Fore-edge and portions of the interior with old tide-lines. (see photos 2, 3, & 4). But to our mind, what makes this a desirable item is the large multi-panel fold-out chart found in the Appendix section. The chart, entitled "Qualifications Prescribed for Suffrage by the Constitutions of the Several States of the Union, 1912," obviously precedes the 15th Amendment by 8 years, so it is not surprising that women are not included here, but it is nevertheless quite striking to go down the left-hand "Requirements" column for each state and see only Male, Male, Male, Male, etc. The chart is in Very Good condition except for a short tear with no loss in the margin above the word "Maine," and a small tear with a tiny bit of text illegibility (see photos 5-8).
