The Lives and Graves of Our Presidents
by G. S. Weaver, D.D.
Pretty Victorian-era volume chronicling the U.S. presidents from George Washington to Benjamin Harrison. There is an engraving of each president. In the back of the book, there is a chapter titled, "An Analysis of the American Government" which also contains the U.S. Constitution. 530 pages total.
Published by The National Book Concern, Chicago, copyright 1883. No later date is listed, but B. Harrison was President from 1889-1893, so this book was probably published during those years.
The binding is a little loose. SOLD
