Life of Mary Jemison, by James Seaver, 1910

New York Commonwealth, by Ellis H. Roberts, New York: 1904

A Man's Value to Society, by Newell Dwight Hills, 1904

Bridgewater Treatises, by William Whewell, DD, 1852

Pictures Every Child Should Know, by Delores Bacon, 1913

The Spectator, by Henry Morely, London: 1902

Anecdotes from Ancient History, author unknown, New York: 1847

Memoir of Fleeming Jenkin--Record of a Family of Engineers,

If you haven't read these red-covered books, perhaps you'd like to add two or three to your list.
