Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. First Edition. Original publisher's red-brown cloth binding with gilt lettering on front cover and spine. 7" x 9." 223 pages, presumed complete ("Contents" names a "List of Exhibits" on Page 224 but the verso of Page 223 is blank and appears to be the last printed page in this book; th…is may be a publisher's error). A few black-and-white illustrations of Wisconsin buildings, complete. Pages are very clean and intact except for small chip on fore-edge of front free endpaper, a few pencil marks on a front flyleaf, and light age toning. Covers are very clean and intact except for slight darkening, slight chipping at head and tail of spine, bumped corners, and minimal edge wear. A Very Good copy. This is a compilation of reports documenting the charitable work of Wisconsin women and charitable organizations in Wisconsin. The book also references centennial celebrations being held in commemoration of the 100-year anniversary of American independence. Nearly all of the reports were written by women. Also included are a facsimile reprint of a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in which he pays tribute to Wisconsin and the printed text of a brief letter that John Greenleaf Whittier wrote in reply to Anna B. Butler's letter. The following are the titles listed under "Contents," most of which refer to the subjects of the reports: "Taylor Orphan Asylum, Racine," "Home for the Friendless, Milwaukee," "Beloit Charities, Beloit," "Wisconsin Institution for Blind, Janesville," "Cadle Home, Green Bay," "Milwaukee College, Milwaukee," "Louis Manning Hodgkins, Appleton," "St. Clara Female Academy, Sinsinawa," "Industrial School, Milwaukee," "Soldiers' Orphans' Home, Madison," "Local Visiting Committee, etc., Milwaukee," "Hebrew Benevolent Association, Madison," "Wisconsin Institution for Deaf and Dumb, Delavan," "All Saints Cathedral Aid, Milwaukee," "All Saints Sewing School, Milwaukee," "Temperance Union, Beloit," "Mission Band, Milwaukee," "Wisconsin Hospital for Insane, Madison," "Catholic Institutions, Milwaukee," "Lake Geneva Seminary, Geneva," "St. John's Home, Milwaukee," "Orphan Association, Milwaukee," "Mrs. Wm.

Among the many illustrations perhaps the most interesting are a 3-page facsimile of the poem "The Four Lakes of Madison" submitted by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
