In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Five volumes. Half red morocco with gilt stamped spines. Top edges gilt. Some wear to edges and corners; modest rubbing and light soiling to sides; foot of spine on two volumes scorched. Bit of cracking to leather at hinges. Marbled endpapers. Interiors are unmarked. Pages are clean with a few mino…r exceptions. Each volume includes profusion of fine portraits, each with a tissue guard. Thick 4to. Scarce. pp. 426, 425, 465, 404, 397. Five volumes of the 13 volume set of the Encyclopedia of Massachusetts: Biographical-Genealogical, each featuring the original 1916 title page which credits the American Historical Society's seven-member advisory committee headed by William Richard Cutter (1847-1918), who was also the corresponding secretary and historian of the New England Historic-Genealogical Society (NEHGS). [Later issued volumes featured an undated title page with the generic accreditation: ''Compiled with the Assistance of a Capable Corps of Advisers and Contributors''.] More than 2100 pages of Massachusetts biographies and family histories. The biographical entries are not arranged alphabetically, but a name index is provided at the conclusion of each volume. The publisher did not ascribe the set with unique volume numbers; each of these five volume are here identified by the first name that appears: 1 - Brackett, John Q. A. 2 - Dawes, Henry L. 3 - Guild, Curtis, Jr. 4 - Hoar, George Frisbie. 5 - Newton, James Hale. One of the members of the advisory committee was Eugene C. Gardner (1836-1915), a noted Massachusetts architect. He passed away in February 1915, well before the publication of the series. His obituary states that during his last three years he wrote 60 biographies for the project.
