Summary
"In these 'Lives of the presidents of the United States,' it has been thought best to depart from the strictly one-syllable style, by using the past tense of certain verbs. This has been done with those which are pronounced as one syllable."--Prefatory, p. [5]. Spine title: Presidents of the United States. Copyright 1885 by Joseph L. Blamire. In chomolithographed boards with cloth spine. Design features portraits of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and Grover Cleveland, with a picture of the White House. "Copyright 1885 by J.L. Blamire."--at foot of upper cover. Textual illustrations produced by relief and photomechanical processes, variously signed by "Photo-Electrotype Eng. Co. N.Y.," Albert Bobbett, "W.L.Y" (p. 15), T. Weber (p. 26), Charles Barbant (p. 26), Felix Octavius Carr Darley (p. 39), "A. Dumond" (p. 100), Samuel Smith Kilburn (p. 147), "J.B. Power N.Y."
