October 1, 1885 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "A History of Mexico," by Hubert Howe Bancroft. Cooperative industry has seen no more remarkable development than the two story fire-proof building on Valencia Street, San Francisco, where the historian of the Pacific States, with the aid of a score of trained assistants, is busily at work. It is a manufactory of history, whose output is three or four stout octavos each year. It might have seemed presumption in the San Francisco bookseller to plan twenty-five years ago to write a series of historical works in thirty nine volumes.
