Q: I received this very old book from a distant relative, it belonged to her Mother, I do believe this book is at least 100 years old.
The lady that gave it to me is now 84, so I know it is old. The inside cover says Evangeline a Tale of Acadie and other Poems by Henry W Longfellow, Henry Altemus Company Philadelphia, the binding is loose, but all the pages are present., easy to read.
Any idea on a date or value, it if is of value I may just sell it and give her the money, she could use it.
A: This book was published in 1915 as part of the Vademecum Series. It is a reprint. Originally it was published within a labeled box. An example is shown below.
