By ROBERT A. LANCASTER, JR. About 300 illustrations and a photogravure
frontispiece. Quarto. In a box, cloth, gilt top, $7.50 net. Half
morocco, $12.50 net. A Limited Edition printed from type, uniform with
the Pennells' "Our Philadelphia."
Virginians are justly proud of the historical and architectural glories
of the Old Dominion. All America looks to Virginia as a Cradle of
American thought and culture. This volume is a monument to Virginia,
persons and places, past and present. It has been printed in a limited
edition and the type has been distributed. This is not a volume of padded
value; it is not a piece of literary hack-work. It has been a labor of
love since first undertaken some twenty-five years ago. The State has
done her part by providing the rich material, the Author his with
painstaking care and loving diligence, and the Publishers theirs by
expending all the devices of the bookmaker's art.
