1954125<br /><i><b>FROM THE PREFACE</b>:This is the Fifth Edition of WORLD BIOGRAPHY The previous edition of which was published six years ago in 1948. Recorded herein are the world's notable living artists writers scholars scientists physicians jurists lawyers religious leaders educators philosophers musicians statesmen business heads and military figures. WORLD BIOGRAPHY is dedicated to those men and women of the world who by increasing their knowledge of other people desire to gain a clearer and more sympathetic understanding of each other's problems hopes and aspirations. Reflected in the many thousands of new and revised biographies are not only the significant technological advances recently made bu social and political changes which but a few years ago might have been regarded as inconceivable by historians and political scientists. Vast gains by medical science are noted in the published up-to-date sketches of eminent physicians surgeons physiologists and distinguished research workers. All living Nobel Prize Winners are listed giving a comprehensive resume of their notable achievements. The problems inherent in reaching our objectives were many and varied. Assignments to new posts changes in positions and travel represented just a few of the difficulties encountered in reaching subjects. Consequently the preparation of material contained in WORLD BIOGRAPHY demanded patient and exhaustive research. <br /></i><br /><b>CONDITION:</b><br />Bound in red percaline with gold characters.

1793W1578Dublin Ireland: P. Wogan P. Byrne J. Moore and W. Jones 1793. Frontispiece vi 2 303 pages. The first printing of the Dublin edition preceded in the same year only by the 2-volume first London edition--both preceding the first U. S. edition published in 1794. The Dublin edition is significant not only for its apparent scarcity but also for the frontispiece an unusual mezzotint portrait of a younger Benjamin Franklin that appears in no other edition and has seldom if ever been reproduced. The clean and tight book has been sympathetically rebacked retaining the original red leather title patch. All edges of the textblock were stained a pale green perhaps when the rebacking was done--the staining intrudes 1/16" onto the top and bottom margins of the frontispiece.Very light and faint foxing throughout; occasional smudges in the margins. Two large but light waterstains to the frontispiece but only minor and relatively unobtrusive intrusion into the image. Missing the front free endpaper. The book's condition is much nicer than it sounds; certainly an acceptable copy for the serious collector. First Dublin Edition. Hardcover. Collectible-Very Good. Small 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall. Leather. P. Wogan, P. Byrne, J. Moore, and W. Jones Hardcover
