Book Description

Excerpt from Historical Review of Chicago and Cook County and Selected Biography, Vol. 1 In addition to the Historical Review, the prospectus announced the publication of a collection of individual biographies of citizens whose attainments and positions give them a distinction that is acknowledged without question. The reader will find that this original plan has been broadened with the progress of the work. Special articles are published on the Chicago of today, and the scope of the entire work has been so enlarged that the volumes might afford a commentary on the history of this community that can be found in no other publication. The high character of form and content, maintained throughout the work, is in accordance with the original plan and is befitting the general subject here treated. The mechanical features of the publi cation leave nothing to be desired. The volumes are bound in durable covers of rich material, the engraving and typographical work are high class, and the quality of excellence has been emphasized in every phase of preparation.
