SOLD Little Leather Library of Twenty-five Volumes

Antiques : Books, Manuscripts

 

This set of twenty-five volumes of the Little Leather Library is in very good condition. It includes The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Poems by Browning, Essays of Emerson, Friendship by Thoreau, Dreams, A Christmas Carol, The Man Without a Country, The Phantom Rickshaw, At the End of the Passage, Poems by Burns, and fifteen other titles. This wonderfully compact little library was published to encourage families to have classic literature readily available in their homes and readily available in case someone with small hands (that would be children) might want to read classic literature. The volumes could be easily stashed in a pocket, purse, or travel bag for reading on trains or on a picnic if a young man wished to impress a young lady by spontaneously quoting a Browning poem. A necessity for any young man.
