published in 1900, before 1930, so the 95-year US copyright term has run. Derived by machine on 2026-08-22 from the year this record already states, corroborated by the year printed in the volume's own front matter, at leaf 6 of this volume's front matter. That transcript was read by the local OCR station; no person has checked the leaf image.

Everyone this source names

This document prints 19 names. A name found this way is the weakest thing this site records: the book names the person, and nothing more is said. It is not a line in a record — the lines that actually rest on this source are listed above, each with its own confidence. 18 of the names below reach a record on this site; lines from this source have been written for 0. The rest are names and nothing else — which is an honest description of the evidence, and an invitation: if you know one of these makers, we want to hear from you.
