History Books“History repeats itself. Historians repeat each other.” So said the early 2…
Very nice. I have almost the same thing but mine was printed 1903 and is five volumes in total (although I am missing Volume II) and different color covers.
I have read them all and most enjoyed the early illustrations.
Thanks mustangtony for the appreciation.
Yes, they are a great read and illustrations are fantastic.
