Q: To whom it may concern:
I am very interested in finding out more about this copy of Discourses of Epictetus. It seems to be a copy designed for women and I am wondering if it was part of a larger series. I have attached some pictures. The book is in very good condition.

A: Your book is part of the Vademecum Series and was published in 1896.

It originally was published with a labeled box.

This series is made up of reprints of various essays, poetry, fiction, etc.
