## Overview
This entity is a backmatter section extracted from a digitized publication, containing a catalog of books intended for young readers. It spans lines 1381 to 1427 of the source document and was extracted on January 26, 2026. The text lists titles, authors, formats, and prices of children’s books published by Harper & Brothers, with a focus on illustrated works in history, science, and adventure genres.
## Context
The backmatter originates from a publication associated with the [More Classics](arke:01KFXT0KM64XT6K8W52TDEE0YS) collection, which includes digitized materials from the Western literary canon. The document was processed through an automated workflow involving structure extraction and text assembly, as indicated by system agents involved in its creation. The publisher, Harper & Brothers, was a prominent 19th- and early 20th-century American publishing house known for producing accessible, illustrated editions for educational and juvenile audiences.
## Contents
The catalog features works by authors such as Jacob Abbott, including *MEN OF IRON*, *A MODERN ALADDIN*, and *THE WONDER CLOCK*, many of which are illustrated by their authors. It highlights two series: *Abbott's Illustrated Histories*, covering historical figures from Cyrus the Great to Louis Philippe, and *Science for the Young*, a four-volume set on topics like heat, light, and force. Volumes are listed with detailed physical descriptions (e.g., "8vo, Cloth, Ornamental") and prices. The notice states that books are available through booksellers or directly from the publisher, with postage prepaid, across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The section concludes with a Library of Congress classification number, indicating its bibliographic use.
