John D. Morris, Philadelphia 1904

This firm published the Makers of History as a 32 volume set in 1904. Apparently Morris bought Harper's plates at that time. The set was sold for $23.00. The books are 6.75 x 4.75. Of note is the embossed "Harper" on the base of the spine.

The book titles are not numbered in this series.

As with many of the publisher's sets, the author of a number of the books is incorrectly listed. The books below show the correct authors.
