"Stories of Duty" by Maurice Francis Egan. Published 1886 by Fasy, Comber & Co.

By gwydion_black, 16 June, 2015
Description

This was a book I procured from a local sale. I cannot find any information on the book or a record of any other copies. I have contacted Notre Dame Libraries, where the author was a professor and who has all of his works. The book was not in their collection but only referenced once in another book. Cannot find any record of the publisher either.

Title: Stories of Duty: A Book for Boys and Girls

Author: Maurice F. Egan

Publication Year: 1886

Publisher: Fasy, Comber & Co., 106 South 13th St, Philadelphia, PA

ISBN: N/A
 

The book is in fair condition, but if there ever was a dust cover it is not present. Binding is still in tact but with some internal separation forming, as are all of the pages with little to no wear. Heavy age discoloration is present throughout. Only written markings are on front cover separator page, a penciled price of $1.25.

Any information would be much appreciated.
