Notes:

In addition to the illustrations listed, several of the letters from poets and authors are reproduced as facsimiles. Although the title page is dated 1877, the book was advertised as being available as early as December 13, 1876 (see the Central Presbyterian (Richmond, VA) of that date, for example, under “Recent Publications.” and the Baltimore Sun (Baltimore, MD) of December 16, 1876.)
